Using her reinforced leg strength, Aoko once again dodged Rin's heavy blow, retreating a hundred meters. Her right hand, surrounded by a magic array, pressed against the ground.
"Direct Current Vertical Rune Layer Two! Magic Missile Launch!"
The magic array was directly inscribed on the ground, forming a circular magic array with a three-meter diameter. Five small magic arrays appeared in mid-air behind Aoko, like five firing points. Magic missiles and magic cannons began to continuously suppress Rin with their firepower!
Aoko took advantage of Rin's suppressed movement to begin a new incantation: "Crest Connection! Direct Current Rune Layer Three! Spell Cycle!"
She extended her right hand, where the Magic Crest, proof of the Aozaki Family heir, was located. At this moment, the crest on Aoko's right arm was clearer than ever before, and her dark long sleeve could no longer conceal its brilliance.
A magic circle inscribed with numerology appeared on the open ground. As Aoko injected magic power and released the crest, the number of runes increased—
It was a grand incantation Aoko had never attempted before, a Magecraft formula with an unprecedented long range.
The novice Magus, performing such a powerful Magecraft for the first time, suppressed her nervousness and excitement, continuing to give commands.
"Complete, Magic Missile Form, Convergent Projection!"
Aoko knelt in the center of the magic circle, slowly extending her heavy right hand, as if grasping at nothingness, aiming at Rin's position.
Her hair also appeared perfectly in mid-air. With Aoko's will, a numerology magic array unfolded, resonating with the ground.
As a new blue array appeared in the air, Rin's spirit was involuntarily shaken. She frowned, wondering what she was thinking.
At this moment, Aoko's incantation had reached its final stage. The Magic Circuits, operating at full power, faintly transmitted a burning pain—a premonition of being overloaded. The third layer of the Magic Crest fully unfolded, connecting with the numerology array on the ground, which rotated rapidly—
An unprecedentedly powerful magic power surged. With Aoko's will, it converged, forming a magic power vortex. A bright blue light appeared on Aoko's right hand.
"Magic Missile: Great Lunar Eclipse, Launch!"
A dazzling light pierced the night sky, soaring into the heavens, accurately connecting with the numerology in mid-air, increasing its brightness even further.
"Projection: Rho Aias!"
A brilliant, magnificent crimson rainbow light appeared out of thin air in front of Rin. Then, under the operation and projection of the projection, it transformed into a wall-like, circular light shield. In the center of the light shield was a seven-petaled red flower.
Originating from greek mythology's Trojan War, the bronze shield covered with seven layers of oxhide that Ajax used to block Hector's spear, Rho Aias! Each petal had the defense of an ancient city wall!
The shining magic missile collided with the light shield, and the two were locked in a stalemate.
"Rin! You can't defeat Alice at this level. Are you holding back against me?!"
"Ah, I suppose so."
What Aoko did was retaliate in a frenzied manner. In her left hand, another magic array rapidly formed.
Disregarding her own endurance, she greedily plundered magic power from the Greater Source.
Too much magic power flowed through her Magic Circuits too quickly. Her blood became scalding and boiled, her entire body screamed in agony, and even her consciousness became hazy. In a daze, she seemed to see a hint of a red shadow.
At this moment, Aoko's control over the Magic Crest and the Fifth Magic reached a new level!
Triple Rune Formulas, the full connection of the Aozaki Family's Magic Crest, the full operation of Aoko's unique Magic Circuits, plus the amplification array in mid-air—so many factors combined to strengthen this magic bullet to an exaggerated degree.
The originally dim blue magic bullet, propelled by Aoko's frenzy, became incredibly dazzling. Consecutive Rune Formula arrays stacked together, and the magic bullet transformed into an endless, brilliant blue light.
Seven petals... "Rin, it's time to go all out!"
"I am going all out."
Six petals... "Rin, how long do you plan to toy with me?!"
"I'm not toying with you, I really am going all out."
Five petals... "This shield, Flower. It will break when all the petals fall, right?"
"That's right."
Four petals... "Then I'll smash it for you to see! I'll see if you still don't go all out!"
"Why don't you listen to me? It's already very difficult for me just to support this shield."
Three petals... "Too troublesome! Explode for me!"
Aoko's Great Eclipse Magic Bullet instantly emitted a light as dazzling as the sun! It exploded with a roar! The three layers of the Seven-Fold Heavens were shattered in one go, and with Aoko in full power mode, the second Great Eclipse followed closely!
"Snap!"
A crisp snap echoed within the barrier, unaffected by the roaring explosion. A bright yellow magic array suddenly appeared at the spot where Aoko stood. The effect of this array itself was no longer meaningful, because its appearance instantly disrupted Aoko's Rune Formula array, completely disorganizing the array patterns that allowed no room for error!
Chaotic mana surged wildly within Aoko's body! Aoko's internal organs were impacted, causing her to spit blood and fall to the ground. The Great Eclipse Magic Bullet, deprived of mana supply and control, also dissipated right in front of Rin.
Damn it, when?
Aoko, whose body felt like it was being churned upside down, thought in confusion. Suddenly, she felt a gust of strong wind and subconsciously looked up, only to see Rin's heavy strike, like a tyrannosaurus rex unleashed, arriving once again! The mighty mana fluctuation was like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami, unstoppable.
Aoko watched as the strike, like divine wrath, was instantly upon her, yet her body, having just suffered severe injuries, couldn't move. Only one thought remained in her mind: It's over... "Boom!"
