The magic bullet sliced through the air, carrying destructive energy as it hurtled towards Shiraishikawa.
The latter didn't even move its feet; a flash of silver light appeared in its eyes, and five bolts of lightning shot out from its pupils, precisely intercepting each magic bullet.
The intense light from the explosion illuminated the entire sea of flowers, and Aozaki Aoko's figure had disappeared into the smoke and dust.
"above."
Shiraishikawa said without looking up.
Aozaki Aoko descended from the sky, her right fist enveloped in a triple-enhancing spell, her magic power compressed to its limit to form a blue halo.
"go to hell!"
The world suddenly froze when the fist was only inches from Shiraishikawa's forehead. 29
The scattered petals froze in mid-air, the exploding flames became a still image, and even the magic power on Aozaki Aoko's fist stopped flowing.
Shiraishikawa calmly stepped to the side, and time began to flow again.
Aozaki Aoko's fist missed its target, and the powerful momentum caused her to stagger forward a few steps.
She turned around quickly, her eyes filled with shock.
"You...stopped time just now?"
"Good observation skills."
Shiraishikawa nodded approvingly.
"But what should surprise you more is why I would use time stop in a battle of this magnitude."
Aozaki Aoko's face turned ugly.
"Have you been giving in to me the whole time?"
Instead of answering directly, Shiraishikawa raised his hand, and a bolt of silver lightning suddenly shot out.
Aozaki Aoko managed to turn to the side, and a bolt of lightning grazed her left arm, causing blood to splatter.
"what!"
Aozaki Aoko covered her wound and took a few steps back, her anger burning even brighter in her eyes.
"asshole!"
"That's what it means to not give in to you."
Shiraishikawa said coldly.
"Aozaki Aoko, you've gotten too cocky."
Aozaki Aoko gritted her teeth, and blue magic surged from her wound, forming a healing glow.
"One failure is all it takes. Do you think that will make me give up?"
She let go; the wound had mostly healed.
"I'll make you understand that a mage cannot be insulted!"
Shiraishikawa raised an eyebrow.
"The recovery ability is much stronger than before."
"Stop being so arrogant!"
Aozaki Aoko stomped her foot, causing the ground to crack. Dozens of blue magical energy burst out from the cracks and attacked Shiraishikawa from all directions.
“This is just the beginning!”
Shiraishikawa stood still, his eyes flashing with electricity, and all the attacking magical vines were severed before they could even touch him.
But Aozaki Aoko had already seized the opportunity to rush in front of him, and her two fists rained down like a storm.
"Hundred-Crack Fist!"
Each punch carried enough power to shatter rocks, yet Shiraishikawa merely shifted his body slightly, dodging with minimal movement.
Aozaki Aoko's fist grazed the hem of his clothes, but she could never actually touch him.
"too slow."
Shiraishikawa suddenly spoke, and at the same time, his right hand formed a knife, precisely slashing at Aozaki Aoko's right wrist.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and Aozaki Aoko groaned and stepped back, her right hand hanging limply at her side.
A crazed smile appeared on her face.
"caught you!"
Shiraishichuan then realized that, without his noticing, his feet had been bound by blue magical chains.
Aozaki Aoko raised her left hand high, and a giant magic bullet with a diameter of more than ten meters condensed in the sky.
"Demon Bullet Falls from the Sky!"
The magic bullet crashed down, its destructive energy completely engulfing the area where Shiraishikawa was located.
The shockwave from the explosion leveled everything within a hundred meters, completely erasing the sea of flowers and replacing it with a huge crater.
Aozaki Aoko stood panting at the edge of the pit, her right hand hanging limply at her side, but the fighting spirit in her eyes remained undiminished.
"Now..."
Her words came to an abrupt end, because after the smoke cleared, Shiraishi was still standing in the same spot, not even a tear in the hem of his clothes.
A silver magic circle appeared beneath his feet, isolating all the explosive energy.
"Good tactics."
Shiraishikawa commented.
"Unfortunately, it's not powerful enough."
Aozaki Aoko's face was pale, but she quickly showed a stubborn expression.
"Then come again!"
Just as she was about to continue her attack, Shiraishi Kawa suddenly appeared in front of her, moving as fast as if he were teleporting.
He grabbed Aozaki Aoko by the neck with one hand and lifted her off the ground.
"That's enough, Aozaki Aoko."
Shiraishi's voice was icy and chilling.
"This farce should end."
Chapter 480 You are the challenger
Aozaki Aoko struggled, gathering magic power in her left hand to fight back, but Shiraishikawa grabbed her left wrist with his other hand first, and with a gentle squeeze, the sound of bones breaking rang out again.
"what!"
Aozaki Aoko groaned in pain, but the flame in her eyes remained unextinguished.
"asshole..."
"do you know?"
Shiraishi Chuan leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"In this battle, you are the challenger."
Shiraishikawa's pupils reflected Aozaki Aoko's right hand, which was gathering magic power.
Every line on his hand was decomposed and recombined in his vision, turning into countless flowing data.
"interesting..."
A playful smile appeared on Shiraishi's lips.
"To postpone injuries to a future point in time, thereby avoiding the backlash of present damage. Is this how all users of the Fifth Law take shortcuts?"
Upon hearing this, Aozaki Aoko paused slightly in her movements, and a crackling sound of blue electricity rang between her fingers.
“Hey, hey, peeking at a lady’s hand is very impolite, sir.
She flicked her wrist, and the electric current turned into tiny specks of light that dissipated into the air.
"Moreover, this is not a trick, but the essence of magic."
Shiraishikawa took a step forward, and the marble floor beneath his feet silently cracked with spiderweb-like patterns.
nature?"
He chuckled.
"The act of shifting the burden of cause and effect to one's future self has a fitting name in human society—a deadbeat."
"what!"
Aozaki Aoko spread her hands out exaggeratedly.
"You talk as if you're rich. I've been very frugal, okay? If it were any other mage, they would have made a complete mess of the timeline by now."
There was a sly glint in her eyes.
"At least I can restore my magic power to a sufficient level, which in some ways can even be called infinite."
Shiraishi Kawa shook his head, his right hand making a grasping motion in the air, and a longsword made of deep red crystals slowly took shape in his palm.
"Unlimited? It's just indefinitely postponing the debt."
He lightly touched the ground with the tip of his sword, and a dark red ripple spread out.
"The consumption principle of the Fifth Law, in essence, is to break the current rules and pay the price for future possibilities."
Aozaki Aoko's expression suddenly turned serious. She spread her right hand and a blue magic circle spun and formed in her palm.
“Magicians are both guardians of order and destroyers of rules; this contradiction is precisely the meaning of our existence.”
Her voice lowered.
"The Fifth Law does indeed seek remedies amidst destruction, although... I myself am not even sure if such remedies exist."
"So you admitted it?"
Shiraishikawa's longsword suddenly burst forth with a dazzling red light.
