Chapter 238 The Curse
Chapter 238 The Curse
"Hmm..." Touma's face flushed... Then his expression changed again. He asked Chu Yue, "Why did the church deliberately deceive Kanzaki and Stiyl? Moreover, why did Index suddenly lose consciousness?"
"Well..." Chu Yue replied, "It's easy. The Church played this trick in front of Kanzaki and Stiyl in order to firmly control the authority of the 'Catalog'. As for Index's fainting, it was undoubtedly a spell cast by the Church to justify itself."
"If this curse was on Index..." Touma murmured, "My right hand should be able to..."
"Yes." Chu Yue smiled and nodded, "It only takes a moment to solve the problem."
"Hmm..." Touma turned to Index and gently stroked her forehead.
"Uh..." Touma's hands were groping around Index's face again.
"I didn't notice anything unusual..." Touma said, "Maybe it's because I didn't touch the magic power..."
"Neck." Shenwu, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted.
“Hmm?” Touma turned around and looked at Kanna.
"There's something... wrong with her neck." Shenwu explained without any emotion.
"Hmm..." Touma looked at Index and touched her neck lightly, but it still had no effect.
At this moment, Touma noticed that there seemed to be something hidden between Index's lips.
"Hmm?" Touma moved closer to Index and peeked into her mouth.
"This is..." Touma's right hand fingers slowly inserted into Index's mouth.
Deep in her throat, Touma touched a talisman. The moment he touched it, Touma staggered back and fell to the ground as if he had received an electric shock, with blood dripping from his right hand.
Index's body was suddenly lifted up by a dark mist, and a look of astonishment crept onto Touma's face.
Index turned her gaze towards Touma, and red magic symbols appeared in her eyes.
"Alert, the first to third layers of defense have been penetrated, the resurrection procedure... failed..."
“Hey! Chu Yue! How could this happen?!” Touma shouted anxiously, “What happened to Index…”
"I'm afraid this is an automatic defense spell set up by the church...it's very tricky."
“Damn it…” Touma clenched his fists, “No matter what kind of curse it is, my right hand can dispel it, right?!”
"Touma, don't underestimate the enemy." Chu Yue reminded, "Index's ability is enough to read and cast powerful spells..."
“Ah…” Touma stood up and ran quickly, intending to use his right hand to dispel the magic.
However, before reaching Index, she had already activated the "Sanctuary of Saint George", and Touma immediately raised his right hand to block it.
"Chu Yue!" Touma shouted, and Chu Yue waved his hand. A huge ice shield was formed in an instant, blocking Index's spell attack.
"St. George's Sanctuary cannot cause any real damage to the intruders... Adjust the tactical objectives... The first task is to hinder Kamijou Touma's approach... Conversion magic, 'Dragon King's Sigh'."
At this moment, countless white feathers fell from the sky.
“This…” Chu Yue suddenly became alert and said quickly, “Touma! Be careful with those feathers!”
Touma, who was running towards Index, had no time to hear Chu Yue's warning. He had already reached Index and pressed his hand on her face.
In an instant, the huge transparent magic circle disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Index fell to the ground and fell into Touma's arms.
"Be careful!" Chu Yue quickly condensed an ice shield to protect Touma's head. A white feather just touched the ice shield and exploded into pieces.
“…” The crushing force shocked Touma. He opened his mouth in silence and dared not move.
"It's okay, stay still." Chu Yue ordered, "These feathers are called 'Dragon King's Sigh', if they fall on your head you will get a concussion."
“…” Touma sweatdropped.
Chu Yue raised her arms and opened her hands, and an icy barrier surrounded Touma.
"You and Index should stay in this barrier for the time being," Chu Yue said. "I don't know when the 'Dragon King's Sigh' will end. I don't know how to dispel the down... but it should die on its own. In the meantime, try not to move around."
Touma's mouth twitched, "Are you deliberately making fun of me?! Right! You are definitely doing it on purpose!!"
Now, he embraced the unconscious Index, and Chu Yue's barrier just wrapped around the two of them. Although small movements could barely maintain it, if he wanted to stand up or put Index down, he would be beyond the protection of the barrier...
"Ha, ha," Chu Yue smiled, "Is this your way of thanking me?"
“Hmph…” Dang Mahjong turned his face away.
"Oh, I didn't go to accompany Mikoto in order to take care of you and Index. I wonder what Kuroko would do to Mikoto when I was away. You really don't think about me at all."
"For a guy with two girlfriends, I don't think you need my understanding." Touma said sarcastically.
“…” Chu Yue was speechless.
......
It's late at night and midnight is about to fall.
"Are we just going to sit here and wait for them?" Touma asked Chu Yue.
"What's wrong? Do you think my sofa is uncomfortable?" Chu Yue teased.
“No… I just thought…” Touma said, “I thought you were playing a prank…”
In the living room, Touma and Index sat side by side, Chu Yue and Kami were together, and the four of them were very suggestive, like a couple... Actually, that was exactly the case~
"I think Stiyl might come to kill us..." Dang Mahjong covered his forehead with his hands.
"Hey, hey, Touma, Touma," Index pointed at the TV, "What is that? "I'll go to greet you." Chu Yue said with a smile, got up and walked to the door to open it. As expected, it was Stier and Kamisaki Kaori outside the door.
"Oh, we are finally here," Chu Yue greeted with a smile, "Please come in and chat with me."
Having expected the scene inside the house to be Kamijou looking down at the unconscious Erza Mactavichi with an angry face, Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori were shocked to see the three people leisurely watching the spiritual realm, with Erza asking Kamijou about the situation on the screen with an excited look on her face.
Stiel and Kamisaki Kaori were stationed around Chuyue's mansion, guarding against Chuyue and Kamijou taking Erza away. However, there was no sign of anyone leaving the mansion, and even Kamisaki and Stiel were suspicious. Could it be that Chuyue's house had a secret passage? Unexpectedly, Erza seemed to be fine at this moment.
"How could this be?!" Stier could no longer remain calm and asked, "How come Elsa is unharmed? Where does this peaceful scene come from?!"
“Could it be…” Kanzaki’s eyes locked onto Kamijou, hesitating to speak, “You are…”
“Oh my…” Kamijou forced a smile at the two of them, “Erza is safe and sound.”
“How could this be possible!” Kanzaki retorted immediately, but Kamijou interrupted her immediately.
“Why is it impossible?” Kamijou responded seriously, “The so-called one-year cycle of memory erasure, memory overload causing the head to explode, and 85% used for magic knowledge and 15% for storing one year’s affairs are all scams woven by the church!”
