In the Type-Moon world.
There is a special kind of being.
Dead Apostle.
So-called Dead Apostles, are actually vampires.
They prolong their lifespan by sucking the blood of humans.
And for Dead Apostles.
The more blood they consume, the higher the mystery contained within.
The more they gain tremendous benefits.
Therefore, in the Type-Moon world, those with magical abilities.
Are more susceptible to attacks from Dead Apostles.
And Shirakawa was unfortunately.
He was one of those people.
Shirakawa's magical abilities, you know what I mean.
He's a living testament to a magical circuit coming to life.
How could someone like that not attract the attention of Dead Apostles?
Fortunately, Shirakawa was not a powerless weakling.
On the contrary, he himself actually possessed great strength.
Therefore, when he noticed that many Dead Apostles and ghoul-like creatures had arrived around his residence.
Shirakawa did not panic.
He just found it troublesome.
“I knew I should have kept a low profile, but it's alright, it's not that bad.”
“At least the target has arrived.”
Shirakawa looked towards a dark corner.
There, stood a woman wearing glasses with crimson single ponytail hair.
She was quietly watching him.
..
Aozaki Aoko, known as the "Magical Egg" in her youth.
She was a prodigy who had a chance to inherit and master the "Fourth Law".
But ultimately, she suffered a Waterloo.
She lost to her sister, Aozaki Aoko, in the "Fourth Law" inheritance battle.
She herself was also burdened with the Clock Tower's designated seal and pursuit.
After that, Aozaki Aoko lived in hiding while evading pursuit from the Clock Tower.
In the end, she returned to Japan.
She came to Kanbaru City.
And here, she founded the magical workshop, Garan no Do.
She also met some pretty good prospects.
Aozaki Aoko thought her luck was already good enough.
But unexpectedly, Shirakawa's arrival still surprised her.
This level of magical circuit, this level of mysterious talent.
Compared to Shirakawa.
Aozaki Aoko, as a Grand Magus, seemed like a magical idiot.
For this reason.
Aozaki Aoko specially abandoned her current projects.
She chose to observe from a close distance.
Unexpectedly, it was so lively here.
“So, what are you going to do to handle such a commotion?”
Aozaki Aoko looked at the room where Shirakawa was.
She thought with a schadenfreude smile.
.....
“If it were any other time, I might be interested in researching it.”
“Is it possible for Dead Apostles and ghosts to fuse?”
“But let it be for now.”
“Compared to magic, Dead Apostles are definitely a lower priority.”
There will be plenty of opportunities to research Dead Apostles in the future.
Just grab one at random.
However, Aozaki Aoko is only one.
If you miss it, you miss it.
So....
“卍解!”
“Sit upon the frost sky, Hyorinmaru!”
“Hyoten Hyakkaso!”
As Shirakawa chanted the true name of Hyorinmaru.
The seemingly ordinary Hyorinmaru instantly transformed into a roaring frost dragon.
It roared and charged towards all the Dead Apostles and ghouls.
In the blink of an eye, everything around was frozen.
Frost flowers bloomed on the bodies of those Dead Apostles and ghouls.
When the number of frost flowers reached one hundred.
All signs of life in these Dead Apostles and ghouls completely extinguished.
No trace could be found.
All this, though it seemed long, actually only took a few breaths.
After everything was over.
Aozaki Aoko stepped on the frost ground.
She walked towards Shirakawa.
Before she arrived, her voice came first.
“What kind of trick is this?”
“It doesn’t quite seem like magic, it’s more like the shadow of Soul Forging.”
“Why haven’t I heard of you before?”
Aozaki Aoko asked Shirakawa.
Of course, she doesn't understand what a Zanpakuto is.
However, her keen eyes can see that Shirakawa's technique is related to souls.
And in the realm of magic.
The only thing related to the soul is probably the famous Third Law, Soul Materialization.
But this is obviously impossible.
If the Third Law was really acquired by someone.
She wouldn't have been unaware of it.
Therefore, there is only one explanation.
Shirakawa's technique may have reached the Third Law, or is part of it.
Like her puppetry.
She can transfer her soul to another puppet's body.
In this way, resurrection is achieved.
This itself is part of the Third Law.
And if that’s the case.
Then it means Shirakawa is directly targeting her.
“Just some small tricks, nothing really.”
“On the contrary, your skills are truly amazing.”
“I wonder if you have any thoughts about taking a disciple or something.”
Hearing this, Aozaki Aoko understood.
Shirakawa was indeed targeting her.
“If you want to learn my skills, it’s not impossible.”
“But what can you offer in return?”
Aozaki Aoko never thought about hiding her skills and not passing them on to others.
But it’s still the same saying.
You can’t get something for nothing.
You can’t just ask for it and I’ll give it to you.
Why should I give it without a price?
Of course, if Shirakawa was really willing to be Aozaki Aoko’s disciple.
Then Aozaki Aoko might consider it.
But Shirakawa is clearly not that kind of person.
Based on Shirakawa’s tone and actions, it’s clear that he’s looking for a deal or a partnership.
If she really took this disciple.
Aozaki Aoko is really worried that this guy might turn against his teacher.
“How about the Third Law?”
Hearing these words, Aozaki Aoko was instantly wide awake.
She’s never been wronged in her life.
The only one, and the biggest one.
Was losing the right to inherit the Fifth Law.
And she also lost to that stinky sister in the battle for the family fortune.
This is Aozaki Aoko’s lifelong pain.
Now, hearing from Shirakawa’s mouth.
Hearing about the Third Law.
How could Aozaki Aoko not care.
In a way, it’s her only chance for revenge in her life.
Of course, after all these years.
Aozaki Aoko no longer hates that stinky sister.
But if there’s a chance to give that stinky sister a good beating.
She wouldn’t refuse either.
