"The sky is getting darker."
She said so.
In an instant, Golden Holy Grail turned slightly, and incomprehensible power directly acted on the world. The dark clouds in the sky were directly pushed away, revealing a sky with bright stars.
In one thought, the color of heaven and earth changes.
"The stars have been changed!?"
In the square, a Astrologer Mage made a trembling sound of fear,
She discovered an unimaginable thing. The position of the stars in the sky changed. It was not a false star pattern in the sky.
Instead, in the boundless starry sky of the universe, the stars truly changed their positions.
Those changed stars were organized into the shape of a Holy Grail.
"How... is this possible?!"
More True Magic divisions looked up at the stars and made desperate sounds. They felt that they had been deceived by Illusion Magic. The direction of the stars... had actually been artificially changed.
This is... not something that simple True Magic can do.
"Nothing is impossible." Aozaki Touko said with a smile, "In the legend... the Holy Grail carries the blood of God and has incredible power. Even if it is regarded as the power of 'God', it is not possible. Using the power of God to change the starry sky is not a matter of course and easy."
It was no lie, she really used the power of the Holy Grail to change the orientation of the stars in the universe. However, this was not caused by the pure power of the Holy Grail. After all, she did not have a real Holy Grail to use.
Now her Holy Grail... is actually the embodiment of Third Magic's power.
Since the 'Holy Grail' is believed to have incredible power in the legend, and because she is essentially the intellectual side of God, she can be regarded as an existence that is one with God.
Therefore, she only needs to pour her own blood into the brand new 'Holy Grail'.
Then she can directly reenact the mythical ritual and once again shape the Holy Grail with incredible power. Next, as long as she has divine blood as fuel, she can continue to trigger the great power of 'God'.
To put it simply, she uses the 'Holy Grail' ritual to process her magic power.
In this way, you will have incredible power.
"Surrender! We surrender!"
"This... can't be called a battle at all!"
"The gap is just too big."
"I didn't know... I had to face such an opponent!"
"There was no chance of winning from the beginning!"
In the square, the True Magic divisions completely collapsed.
If you want to fight such a wall hanging, then no matter how you think about it, there is no hope of victory. An opponent with such an outrageous power as a 'god' cannot be a target of hostility from the beginning.
Take the blow from...Ivy.
Such a stupid question, just think about it and you will know that it is impossible.
Although their True Magic barrier is very strong and there is nothing wrong with it.
However, it is impossible to resist that level of divine power.
It is simply a huge gap that can be seen clearly.
Chapter 539 Curse
"... Why don't you try to resist with all your might?"
Aozaki Touko Looking at the True Magic masters who had lost their resistance, he playfully encouraged, "Maybe, as long as we have determination, we can fight back."
"Sorry, we surrender."
A girl walked out of the True Magic division. She opened her cloak, revealing her long pink hair, and bowed dignifiedly to Aozaki Touko.
"We are willing to accept any compensation if you spare our lives."
Her voice was sincere, with a hint of unwillingness.
If they knew that Aozaki Touko was such a True Magic division, then it would be impossible for them to make the decision to assassinate Aozaki Touko. The gap in strength between them was too great.
So much so, compared to resisting the oppression of the Mage's Association.
That would be easier than choosing to find another way out.
"Is that so?"
Aozaki Touko looked at the girl who stood up on behalf of the True Magic teachers, "Then each of you will pay 100 million pounds in compensation, and then I will let you leave here alive."
The air was frozen.
In the square, Master True Magic was stunned. Most of them could not borrow such an exaggerated amount of 100 million pounds, even if they went to all their friends to borrow money.
It's impossible... to borrow such a huge sum of money.
"Um... we can't come up with so much money." The girl with long pink hair said with a wry smile, "However, if His Highness Ivy doesn't mind, then we are willing to pay... compensation in installments."
"Well... yes, but just to prevent you from being lazy."
Aozaki Touko pursed his thin lips and smiled wickedly, "I'm going to put a curse on you to ensure that you have sufficient motivation to repay the money."
"Curse..."
The expression of the girl with long pink hair was a little subtle. She felt something was wrong. No matter how you thought about the word curse, it was definitely not a good word.
Moreover, Ivy's smile... was so obviously filled with malice.
"..."
In the square, the True Magic teachers also noticed this and couldn't help but look at Touko with fearful eyes, even though the Touko standing in front of them was as beautiful as a mythical goddess.
However, the goddess in mythology... may not necessarily have compassion.
"Well... I'm going to curse you!" Aozaki Touko licked the black hair beside his ears and said jokingly with a smile, "If you work less than eighteen hours a day and don't use 80% of your 'monthly' labor income for repayment, then you will become a frog, and it will be accompanied by unbearable pain. Of course, before you pay off the debt... don't even think about getting old or getting sick. The curse will not be lifted until you pay off all the debt."
Her voice carried an inexplicable rhythm, as if a singer was singing softly. The Holy Grail held in her palm Projection glowed slightly, and an incomprehensible force acted on the True Magic masters in the square.
The curse... was established in her joking tone.
"... Isn't this... curse too outrageous?!"
"If you want to curse, you can curse not to be exposed to sunlight, live like a vampire or something, and work eighteen hours a day. Isn't this too cruel!"
"Even if it's a curse of bad luck... it's understandable."
"Think about it from another angle... We don't have to grow old before we finish paying off the money. Isn't this a good thing?"
"If you work eighteen hours a day, you won't grow old... then you won't be able to enjoy anything. What's the point of not growing old?"
"There is still hope for enjoyment. For example, we can... become a pretty girl. Doesn't this mean we can make money while working and still enjoy... youth?"
"Hahaha... My family is rich. If I can find a low-income job, my quality of life will not be reduced, and I can still live a long life."
"... I feel like things are not that simple."
In the square, Master True Magic had a heated discussion about the curse placed on his body. Some people were pessimistic about the curse, while others were secretly happy about the curse.
Although they were cursed by Ivy... their lifespans were also relatively extended.
Even if you work eighteen hours a day, it is actually acceptable. As for having to spend 80% of your income on repayment, that is not a big problem.
As long as you eat black bread, you can live.
"... I hope you... can always maintain an optimistic attitude."
Aozaki Touko glanced at the True Magic teachers, and immediately turned and left without hesitation. No matter what choices the True Magic teachers present made, they would have to face despair in their future lives.
The final interpretation of the curse rests with her, and how to determine whether to work the so-called "eighteen hours" depends entirely on her judgment. If she wants to work for a low salary and rely on her family's wealth to live... it's difficult.
"Um... Master Ivy, wait a moment."
The girl with long pink hair glanced at the True Magic teachers, then hurriedly caught up with Touko, and said, "If it was 100 million pounds, I could pay it back now."
"Are you... very rich?"
Aozaki Touko glanced at pink-haired girl and chased her. She didn't care that pink-haired girl would pay back the money immediately. Anyway, as long as she got 100 million pounds, it would not be a loss for her.
"You can say that." Pink-haired girl smiled solemnly, "My family specializes in aviation trade, so I have some money."
"Yeah."
Aozaki Touko nodded slightly and didn't care much about it. However, pink-haired girl had no intention of leaving at all and seemed to have something to say.
"Ivy, Your Highness, do you still lack... subordinates?"
She asked bluntly.
Just when the starry sky was distorted, she had already decided one thing, that is... to follow the existence of Ivy. She was touched by the ultimate great power.
If there is no way to obtain such a powerful power by yourself.
It's not bad that contact has great power.
"What's your specialty?"
Aozaki Touko asked casually.
She has no shortage of talents now, and has no plans to recruit subordinates. However, if pink-haired girl can say something that interests her.
Then it doesn't matter if she has one more close subordinate.
"I'm good at business, cooking, politics, singing, communication, True Magic, and painting." Pink-haired girl immediately said his strengths, and then found that Touko had no fluctuations.
So, she quickly added.
"... I can also help His Highness Ivy warm the bed."
"..."
Aozaki Touko stopped and looked at pink-haired girl, whose pretty face was flushed, "Warm the bed, are you serious? We are all women, do we need you to warm the bed?"
"Your Highness Ivy, I... say that I am good at communication~" pink-haired girl's delicate face was pink, and he whispered into Touko's ear, "The first important thing in communication is to look at people. Your Highness Ivy, I think... you like girls more."
"..."
Aozaki Touko blinked and looked at pink-haired girl next to her. She became slightly more interested in this pink-haired girl and wanted to see what other interesting things she could say.
So, she nodded and agreed.
but.
"Yo, Ivy... you are too strong."
Laura ran over in a hurry, her delicate and pretty face showing her admiration, "With such power as you, I feel like I can do whatever I want."
"Oh... are you stronger than Laura?"
Aozaki Touko turned around and smiled.
"Isn't this natural?"
Laura's eyes were smiling, and he leaned forward to get closer to Touko, "It seems that I will rely on your strength Ivy in the future. The return on my previous investment in you is really beyond expectation."
It's not a lie, she played a big role in the establishment of the Mage's Association, and she also has close contact with Touko, maintaining a pretty good relationship, even if she calls them 'best friends' there is no problem.
Now tonight Touko shows the power.
It can be said that her investment in Touko is worthwhile, and the return can even be said to be astonishing. From now on, as long as Touko survives, she will have more initiative in talking to anyone.
After all, she has a... powerful ally behind her.
"...Laura, what do you want in return?"
Aozaki Touko asked meaningfully, but Laura did not answer immediately. He seemed to be thinking in trouble, and said after a moment:
"It seems like there are a lot of wants, but it doesn't feel like there are too many needs."
"Then wait until you think about it."
Aozaki Touko smiled lightly, then turned to face the pink hair beside him and said, "Go find Anissa, she should know how to arrange you."
"Yes, Your Highness Ivy."
Pink-haired girl bowed slightly and left Touko obediently. Her goal had been achieved, so there was no need to stay in case she heard some key information from these two big shots.
No way, tomorrow her body... will be in River Thames.
"Since I agreed."
