Welcome to My World (Continued)

The quality of all the Ley Line is declining at a visible rate, covering the entire London area!

After so many years, the foundation upon which the Clock Tower stands at the pinnacle of the Magecraft World has been breached! And it was breached right under the noses of all the Lord.

The thought that all the Ley Line in the London area had suffered irreparable damage, possibly not recovering naturally for Clock Tower, filled Kenneth. The Clock Tower might even be expelled from the three major departments, its assets seized, and gradually disintegrated, its magical lineages forced to spread and multiply across the world, its existence fading until it vanished completely.

This time, Rovey is declaring war on the entire Magecraft World.

He clenched his fist and took a step forward in that instant, the terrifying magic power emanating from him shattering the floor tiles beneath his feet.

"Now I'm giving you one last warning, Miss Aozaki, get out of my way, or let that unfilial son of yours come out here!"

This is the final piece of advice; Kenneth is no longer planning to wait.

Because he could still feel the ground beneath his feet like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring endless magic power. Although he didn't know where that kid was using the magic power, he had to stop him now.

"Hey, didn't you hear what I just said? Lemon Head, I told you to wait a little longer, Rovey Wei will be out soon."

Despite Kenneth's threat, Aozaki Touko remained unmoved and simply replied.

"Keep waiting? Sorry, I can't wait any longer. Miss Aozaki, I'm begging you this once, please step aside right now, and take that brat with you and leave this place, and never show your face in front of me again... okay?"

At the last moment, Kenneth still didn't make a move directly. Instead, he took a deep breath and solemnly addressed Aozaki Touko in front of him. Anyone could hear the pleading in his voice.

This scene startled May Litael Archerolt, who was standing behind her.

It's hard to imagine that the proud Lord of the Mineralogy Department would actually be willing to bow down to Aozaki Touko for the sake of his student, and even go so far as to protect him.

How much must they like that student?

Litael glanced at Kenneth, who had already abandoned his dignity and attitude and was pleading with Aozaki Touko, and probably already knew the answer in her heart.

Magus place great importance on passing on their skills and knowledge.

In other words, Kenneth did indeed regard Rovey as someone he valued even more than his own descendants.

"... You really are putting me in a difficult position."

Seeing Kenneth bow down to her as a teacher for the sake of his student, Aozaki Touko couldn't help but recall the old woman who, out of personal grudges and jealousy, had personally sent her to the Sealing Designation.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little envious of Rovey's good fortune.

After all, he always manages to meet the right people, and each of them is genuinely kind and loving towards him.

If my teacher back then had been someone like Kenneth, then...

Things didn't have to turn out this way.

But there's no point in saying more; it was precisely that experience that shaped who I am today.

Besides, she's actually quite lucky, isn't she?

After all, she met the right person.

"I said no in, and that means no in. But don't worry, Rovey isn't the type to act recklessly. He'll definitely have a way to clean things up. He might even have some big surprise for you. And..."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Aozaki Touko's face, "Even if I can't handle it, I will definitely escape with him. I'm an expert in this area."

"I see..."

Seeing that Aozaki Touko still hadn't moved aside, Kenneth sighed softly.

"—Boiling, my blood (Fervor, mei sanguis.)!!"

The incantation is instantly activated.

Since he couldn't reason with her, Kenneth didn't say anything more. As if by Magecraft, several vials filled with mercury-like silver liquid suddenly appeared between his fingers, and he threw them at Aozaki Touko without any hesitation.

His actions were decisive, and the timing of his attack was completely unexpected, clearly indicating that he had prepared for the battle in advance, which enabled him to carry out this sneak attack.

But at this point, he couldn't care less about whether it was despicable or not.

Aozaki Touko had naturally made preparations in advance for this.

Clearly, her ability to guard the door for Rovey demonstrates her absolute confidence in her abilities.

Even if she's not Grand Rank in attack, she's still a Grand Rank Magus. Kenneth is just a joke if she tries to break through her head-on today.

Just like right now—

Aozaki Touko stared at the container thrown at her from mid-air, then a glint flashed in her eyes, and the effects of her Mystic Eyes struck first.

All I heard was...

—Bang bang bang!!

With a series of muffled thuds, several test tubes in mid-air exploded simultaneously, and silvery liquid scattered down like water droplets.

"..."

When the test tube broke, Kenneth showed no surprise, as if he had expected it all along.

After all, Grand Magus like him couldn't possibly be tricked by his own petty tricks, and his Volumen Hydrargyrum was far more complex than it seemed.

"Kai!!"

With a shout, the Volumen Hydrargyrum that was splashing in mid-air suddenly seemed to come alive, turning into silver steel needles that shot towards Aozaki Touko from different directions on the ground and in mid-air like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, intending to turn her into a hedgehog.

Clearly, he's thinking of breaking through from the front.

Countless silver liquids shot through the air like a thousand knives, each gleaming with a chilling light.

"Tsk, Volumen Hydrargyrum again? Even Rovey hasn't used this kind of trick anymore, and you still want to use it against me?"

Seeing this, Aozaki Touko raised an eyebrow. Facing the incoming Volumen Hydrargyrum, she did not flinch. One of her arms moved rapidly in front of her. Unlike the red one used by Rovey, a dark purple "Sun" rune rose directly in front of her and hung above her head.

Bear! Bear! Bear! Bear!

Just as water droplets dried by the scorching sun, the Volumen Hydrargyrum that swept in was instantly burned to ashes by the primordial fire, making it impossible for it to get close.

"... Is it Rune? No, can Rune really have this power?"

Kenneth could certainly recognize Aozaki Touko's unique technique Rune.

However, he didn't recall that Aozaki Touko's revived modern version of the Rune had such power.

The miniature magical sun just now possessed power comparable to a grand Magecraft; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to burn away his Volumen Hydrargyrum in one go!

"Age of Gods Magecraft?"

Just then, May Litael Archerolt, as Witch, also seemed to sense something. Rather, due to the peculiarities of Witch, she sensed it more directly than Kenneth.

The runes that Aozaki Touko just used were actually Age of Gods's Magecraft, which is...

"Primordial Runes! You actually deduced the primordial runes?!"

May Litael Archerolt exclaimed in surprise.

"This is impossible! It's neither scientific nor mysterious! After all, you're not Odin, nor do you possess the Well of Wisdom, and it's impossible for humans to deduce the original runes, those world writing systems!!"

Despite the facts before her, she absolutely refused to believe that Aozaki Touko had used her talent to deduce the Primordial Runes the great god Odin had initially comprehended by mortgaging one of his eyes and his life.

Because that was a realm that no human could reach, she preferred to believe that Aozaki Touko had received the inheritance in some ancient ruin.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as she had predicted.

"Was it... Rovey who taught you?"

Unlike Litael, Kenneth had already guessed the answer.

After all, it's impossible for human wisdom to rival that of the great god Odin, so Aozaki Touko's runes must be from elsewhere. Where can one learn the Primordial Runes?

Kenneth immediately thought of the Queen of the Land of Shadows that Rovey had summoned. After all, besides the great god Odin, the figure of the dead kingdom was also one of the controllers of the Primordial Runes. And the only place Aozaki Touko could obtain the Primordial Runes was Scáthach.

In other words... that little rascal was secretly hiding a Primordial Runes from me, right?!

Thinking of this, Kenneth's face grew even more gloomy.

He immediately felt that he had been betrayed by Rovey for the third time.

"Archerolt Lord, I'll deal with Aozaki Touko. You go inside and find Rovey."

Realizing he might not be able to get past this point today, Kenneth called out the name of Litael, who had been watching the commotion from behind, his tone filled with determination.

"... Lord Kenneth, I think, could we skip it?"

Litael, standing behind him, hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"What?"

Kenneth was somewhat surprised, clearly because he was too anxious and had obviously forgotten something extremely important.

Seeing this, Aozaki Touko smiled, and Litael sighed helplessly before speaking to Kenneth.

"Let's retreat, we can't win."

"Leaving aside Aozaki Touko, this is in her Magic Workshop... We weren't prepared at all this time, and starting a battle in someone else's Magic Workshop, isn't this just suicide?"

That's right, that's exactly what he overlooked.

This is Magic Workshop.

Magus in the workshop can be said to receive tremendous support and advantages, and their use of magic and activation of spells are almost qualitatively improved.

If May Litael Archerolt were to fight Rovey elsewhere, she certainly wouldn't be afraid of a mere Festival Rank Magus.

But isn't it making things difficult for her to fight Rovey in the other party's Magic Workshop?

Putting aside the fact that Rovey's "Hall" is a specialized, positional Magus, he is more terrifying than other Magus in the Magic Workshop. Just look at the magic power that has just been drawn and accumulated under his feet. Guess where it is right now.

This workshop now gathers all the magic of London, and all of this magic can be used by Rovey, who is its master. To be an enemy of him is to be an enemy of the entire Ley Line of London.

If she were to actually break through, Litael could imagine that the opponent could crush her like an ant simply by using that magic to overwhelm her.

Kenneth has a mentor-student relationship with her, so he'll probably be fine.

And her?

Did you tell Rovey that I was introduced by your sworn sister?

The other party could probably slap him so hard he'd spin like a top.

"Well..."

Kenneth suddenly couldn't speak.

Yes, with the amount of magic power gathered beneath his feet, if Rovey were to steel himself, he could even blow the entire London to smithereens.

How could the rest of the people in his workshop possibly defeat him?

"Then, you hold off Aozaki Touko, I'll go inside and find him!"

Kenneth immediately adjusted his strategy.

"Huh? Hold off Aozaki Touko?"

However, Litael pointed to herself and then glanced at Aozaki Touko had once again condensed several Primordial Runes.

"... You mean me?"

After a long silence, she finally spoke, her tone tinged with disbelief, which gave Kenneth a headache.

He now suspects that this guy is also a mole of Rovey's, deliberately stalling for time.

However, Aozaki Touko laughed very happily, and she teased with a smile, "Litael, after all these years, your personality hasn't changed at all."

"Sigh, aren't you the same? But I really didn't expect you to be hanging out with Rovey. Does Aoko know?"

"Huh? Aoko? Why are you bringing up that idiot? Do I need to tell her who I'm friends with?"

Aozaki Touko clearly did not understand what Litael meant.

"Huh? You didn't know that!"

Seeing Aozaki Touko's reaction, Litael seemed to realize something, then gasped and her expression turned strange. "Hiss... never mind then, I won't say anything more. Anyway, this is your own family matter, good luck."

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Seeing this, Aozaki Touko's expression grew increasingly strange. She had a feeling that Litael's words were implied. In other words, was there something she didn't know? And was it related to Aoko?

'It's been so many years, she can't still be holding a grudge about what happened back then, so she wants to come back and beat herself up again, can she?'

After much thought, still unable to figure it out, Aozaki Touko simply gave up on thinking about it.

I'm already quite satisfied with my life, and I'm not thinking of getting involved with her, but I'm not afraid if she comes to my door in person.

"However, that's enough. You can go in if you want. I won't stop you."

I glanced at the time and arrived exactly at seven o'clock in the morning, just as Rovey had mentioned.
