The concentration of magic in the air surged instantly, and even space itself began to distort slightly.
"I want to win."
Aozaki Touko said, enunciating each word clearly.
"So, Aozaki Aoko, you will die here."
The moment she was addressed by her full name, Aozaki Aoko felt a chill run down her spine.
She was already at "903" and couldn't stop; the construction of the magic circle had reached its final stage, and a torrent of magic was about to erupt.
"Magic bullet form, surgical projection—circuit, launch...!"
At this critical moment, a sudden change occurred!
Without warning, a golden beast claw pierced through Aozaki Aoko's chest, warm blood still dripping from its sharp tip.
Aozaki Aoko's eyes widened as she looked down at her chest in disbelief.
Blood trickled down Aozaki Aoko's lips as she knelt on one knee, her right hand gripping the cracked magic crest.
Aoki Touko looked down at her from across the room, a victor's expression on her face.
"Give up, little sister."
Aozaki Touko's voice was as cold as ice.
"You are no match for me."
Aozaki Aoko gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up, the wound on her chest tearing with pain.
She knew she was at a significant disadvantage, but her pride wouldn't allow her to back down.
"Cut the nonsense!"
Aozaki Aoko suddenly raised her hand, and a crimson beam of magic energy burst from her fingertips, shooting straight at Aozaki Touko's face.
Aozaki Touko smiled slightly, without even making a move to dodge.
Golden magic markings unfolded before her, forming a semi-transparent barrier that easily blocked Aozaki Aoko's attack.
"Still so naive."
Aozaki Touko sighed softly and gracefully waved her right hand.
"Let me teach you what real magic is."
Countless golden threads suddenly appeared in the air and began to coil around Aozaki Aoko.
Aozaki Aoko hurriedly retreated, simultaneously forming hand seals in an attempt to use defensive magic to block.
However, the golden threads seemed to have a life of their own, bypassing her defenses and instantly wrapping around her limbs.
"Uh-"
Aozaki Aoko let out a painful groan as the gold thread dug into her flesh, and blood flowed down her fair skin.
Aozaki Touko approached slowly, her high heels clicking crisply on the stone pavement.
Do you know? I've been waiting for this day.
She looked down at her sister, who was bound.
"Just wait and see how pathetic you look."
Aozaki Aoko raised her head, her eyes burning with an indomitable flame.
You... will never succeed...
"Oh?"
Aozaki Touko raised an eyebrow and gently tapped Aozaki Aoko's forehead with her right index finger.
"Then let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness."
A sharp pain instantly spread from her forehead throughout her body; Aozaki Aoko felt as if a thousand needles were piercing her nerves simultaneously.
She gritted her teeth to stop herself from screaming, but her body began to spasm uncontrollably.
"What a beautiful expression."
Aozaki Touko watched her sister's suffering with a sickly look in her eyes.
"Do you know? Father was still calling your name before he died... That old man, he loved you even in death."
Aozaki Aoko gasped for breath, sweat and blood mingling as they streamed down her face.
Father... He saw through your true nature... You will never... gain... the Aozaki family's approval...
This statement seemed to have touched a nerve with Aozaki Touko.
The smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a ferocious rage.
"Shut up!"
Aozaki Touko suddenly grabbed Aozaki Aoko by the neck.
"You know nothing! That old man gave you everything! Even the magic crest—"
Aozaki Aoko suddenly laughed, a defiant smile forced despite her difficulty breathing. 4.0”
Jealousy... makes you ugly... sister...
Aozaki Touko's pupils contracted, and the pressure on her hand suddenly increased.
"Fine, since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish."
Golden magic gathered in Aozaki Touko's right hand, gradually forming a huge phantom of a beast's claw.
Those claws were as sharp as knives, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
Farewell, my dear sister.
"Aozaki Touko said softly, and then suddenly thrust her right hand toward Aozaki Aoko's chest."
“Puff——”
Chapter 474 Ending
The beast's claws pierced Aozaki Aoko's chest without any resistance, and blood gushed out.
Aozaki Aoko stared wide-eyed, looking down in disbelief at the golden claw on her chest.
She could clearly feel her heart being crushed.
Blood spilled from the corner of Aozaki Aoko's mouth. She knelt on one knee, pressing her right hand tightly against the pierced wound in her abdomen.
Under the moonlight, Aozaki Touko walked slowly, the sound of her high heels on the gravel like a countdown to death.
"You look so disheveled, little sister."
Aozaki Touko tossed her falling red hair aside, her eyes gleaming with a cold, magical light.
"This is what happens when you defy me."
Aozaki Aoko gritted her teeth, her vision blurred from blood loss.
She remembered that moment just now—the claws of the fantasy species controlled by Aozaki Touko pierced through her body, and the pain of her internal organs being torn apart still throbbed in the nerve endings.
She should be dead, but
"Why are you still alive?"
Aozaki Touko suddenly stopped, her brows furrowed.
Intricate magical inscriptions appeared in her hands, and a blue light illuminated her face, which was contorted with rage.
"I clearly already..."
Aozaki Aoko looked down at her wound and found that her flesh was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A strange power flowed through her body, warm as the spring sunshine, yet carrying a familiar feeling that sent shivers down her spine.
"The third bomb... Bites the Dust?"
Aozaki Aoko murmured to herself, recalling the meaningful smile Shiraishikawa had given her when he left.
She looked up abruptly and saw a look of panic on Aozaki Touko's face.
"That bastard!"
Aozaki Touko suddenly flew into a rage, and her magic crests spun around her, forming several sharp blades of light.
"How dare he interfere in our sisters' affairs!"
The light blade whistled towards her, and Aozaki Aoko instinctively rolled to dodge, but was still slashed on the shoulder.
The pain made her more lucid—this was not a hallucination, she had truly come back to life.
Moreover, the power left behind by Shiraishi River is protecting her.
"Sister, please stop."
Aozaki Aoko stood up, panting, and assumed the starting stance for the Demon Bullet.
“You are not the same person you used to be, and I am no longer the little girl you could manipulate.”
Aozaki Touko sneered, complex geometric patterns appearing in her eyes.
"As if you have a choice. Tonight, you must die."
On a distant hill, Kuonji Yuju clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Through the crystal ball, she could clearly see every detail on the battlefield.
"Aozaki Aoko..."
Her voice trembled.
"Why does it have to be this way..."
"Because this is their destiny."
Shiraishichuan appeared behind her at some point, the moonlight casting a cold glow on his long silver hair.
"Aozaki Touko chose the path of revenge, while Aozaki Aoko... she is still hesitating."
Kuonji Yuju suddenly turned around.
