CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 405: ONE-HIT KILL

The old True Magic User’s aged face changed, as if time were flowing in reverse. The wrinkles vanished, the slack skin tightened, and the age spots disappeared in an instant.

In just a moment, a strong, middle-aged man stood in the darkness, his sharp, blue eyes quietly watching Haru, who was not far away.

The next second, the rejuvenated old True Magic User shifted his gaze to the celestial body before him, and a magnetic, middle-aged male voice quietly sounded.

"Collapse—!!!!!"

Sizzle-sizzle-sizzle-sizzle!!!!

The golden sun suddenly let out a sharp, piercing noise. The once-substantial-feeling sun quietly became illusory, and with a pop, it burst like a bubble, splashing out sparks.

After the sun was destroyed, the old True Magic User immediately focused his gaze on Haru.

Under the exclusion of the Counter Forces, the old True Magic User’s state of being at his peak could not last for long. The effect of the Aozaki family’s Fifth Magic was the collapse of order.

To wantonly tamper with the four fundamental rules with one’s own will.

It was precisely because of this that the old True Magic User’s consumption was much greater than that of a regular True Magic User, and the damage to the world was also more terrifying.

Under the obstruction of the Counter Forces, his time was running out.

A dense network of magic circles filled the sky. The azure glow of the magic circles and the golden glow emanating from Haru were in a stalemate.

The entire sky was divided in two.

One side was like a scorching sun, the other like a gloomy, ice-blue. For a time, the auras of the two seemed to be evenly matched.

There was no need for chanting, or rather, the old True Magic User had used time manipulation to eliminate the time cost of chanting. The moment he opened his mouth to chant, the incantation, which would have taken a person several dozen minutes to chant, was already completed.

The Aozaki family’s magical attribute was wind.

And the old True Magic User, relying on his family’s inherited spells, had created the Fifth Magic, the collapse of order, Blue. In the order of collapse, it naturally took time, the superior of the wind element, as its main.

In the old True Magic User’s eyes, time had become a videotape that could be wantonly manipulated, fast-forwarded, agreed with, rewound, cut, and pasted.

Therefore, he had directly eliminated the time required to activate the formula. If not for the fact that Haru also possessed magic of the same EX-rank mystery, he could have even stuffed this time into Haru’s timeline, lengthening the time it took for him to activate his formula.

An invisible wind gathered before the old True Magic User and began to rotate at a super-speed. Under the effect of the magic, the rotation speed was directly overclocked to 800km/s, and the matter that made up the wind was instantly ionized, turning into a cloud of plasma.

In less than a breath, a hurricane, large enough to overturn the Eurasian plate, was generated before the old True Magic User.

"As a return gift, take this, kid!!!!!" The veins on his face bulged. The old True Magic User roared and shot out the plasma stream in his hand.

The plasma stream, mixed with a terrifying energy, was about to rush out of the chaotic dark area around the old True Magic User and truly descend upon this world.

"If I really let you get this move off, I’ll be beaten up by Alaya at home." Though the words he said were like a joke, Haru’s face was exceptionally grave.

Though he had previously unscrupulously released a small sun that could destroy the world, it was, in the end, under the blockade of time and space, a move under his control.

Relying on the convenience of being a connected household, he had been able to summon this thing on Earth, and had played a close call. In reality, it had not caused any harm to the planet or humanity. At most, it was a huge threat.

But the old True Magic User didn’t have to worry about these things. Relying on the chaotic area around him, he had temporarily eliminated the pressure of the Counter Forces and had directly summoned a magic wind that could destroy humanity.

It was precisely because they possessed the power to destroy humanity that True Magic Users were so extremely targeted by the Counter Forces, especially Alaya.

And now, the moment the magic wind appeared, a message from Alaya was directly transmitted to his mind.

[Stop the plasma stream from descending to the surface.]

Haru suddenly lifted his hand, and a golden thunderclap sounded. The Sword of Salvation, radiating a platinum glow, appeared in his hand.

The moment the divine sword appeared, it suddenly began to change shape, and a large, platinum-colored bow appeared in his hand.

Then, ten suns, like ping-pong balls under the compression of time and space, appeared in his hand. They were lined up, simulating the state of a ten-star alignment in the solar system, and transformed into a golden arrow.

"Ten in stock," Haru’s lips curved into a smile. He accelerated time, and under the acceleration of time, he drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and aimed, all in one smooth motion.

"Come and feel it, ten suns in the sky!!!" Haru gently released his fingers.

The arrow was released, and all was silent—!!!!

...

In a small forest outside the old school building.

Aoko and Alice looked at each other, both in a state of bewilderment.

"Daughter-in-law?" Alice’s lip twitched, her mind in a jumble.

"...What the hell is a daughter-in-law? I’m not even married yet. And when did I marry your son? Wait, does the Counter Force have a son?" Aoko’s lip twitched, and as if a string of firecrackers, she spat out the questions that were pressing down on her heart.

"You were all lovey-dovey with my son during the day, and now you’re denying it? Could it be? Are you two having a one-night stand?"

"Human thoughts are getting filthier and filthier."

Alaya’s teasing voice echoed in the atmosphere.

"You’re the last person who has the right to say humans are filthy!!!!" Aoko retorted with a speechless expression. The next second, she was dumbfounded.

"Haru is your son????" X2

Aoko Aozaki and Alice Kuonji said in unison, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Don’t worry about these details. Let’s talk about you, Fifth True Magic User!" Alaya said with a straight face.

Alice’s eyelid twitched. She covered her mouth with her right hand with a speechless expression. The human Counter Force was such an unreliable existence. She felt that the mages who had died at the hands of the Counter Forces in their pursuit of the Root were truly pitiful.

"You’re the one who brought up this topic, right?" Aoko’s lip twitched. Then, she sighed heavily and said with a serious expression, "Go on, what is it?"

"Regarding the Fifth Magic being incorporated into the side of order," the ethereal voice quietly echoed.

...

"Hmm?" Haru raised an eyebrow, a puzzled look on his face as he looked at the old True Magic User, whose body had been pierced through.

Whoosh—!

The arrow, which was made of ten suns, instantly returned to his side and hovered in mid-air.

"The consumption is much less," Haru said, glancing at the seven remaining suns on the arrow and muttering under his breath. He had originally thought it would consume at least seven of the accumulated suns, but in reality, it had only consumed three.

The reason was probably that the chaotic darkness around the old True Magic User had suddenly weakened a little. Because it didn’t have to fight against the invisible darkness, the consumption was reduced.

This sudden situation made Haru a little confused. But no matter what, to be hit directly by ten suns, the old geezer should be deader than dead.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

A golden aura suddenly spread from the large hole in his chest, and in an instant, it had covered the old True Magic User’s entire body.

The old True Magic User maintained the posture of shooting out the plasma stream, and even his fierce expression was maintained at the moment he had made the move. In the golden flames, he was evaporated from the world.

Thud—!

A fist-sized crystal fell to the snow.
