Chapter 35

In the evening, a few people arrived at a secluded park. Bai Jingyue did not want to destroy the home of Professor Tsukuyomi Komoe, where the battle was about to take place.

Stiyl went to set up runes to disperse bystanders and hunt the Witch Queen, while Kamijou Touma and Shizuri Kagenui were busy setting up a large number of steel wires. After being reminded by Bai Jingyue that they might face a "Majin," both of them became somewhat serious.

"Yue, what do you mean by 'Majin'?" Kamijou Touma looked at Bai Jingyue. He didn't want to pursue what Bai Jingyue was hiding. "No matter what, Bai Jingyue is a friend of Kamijou Touma, isn't he?"

"You should ask Index. She has more authority to speak on this than I do." Regarding the magic side, Bai Jingyue only knew a bit from the original story and his time in Shushan. The specific explanation would definitely be more detailed from Index.

Index, seeing the efforts everyone was making to save her, and recalling the definition of a "Majin," was somewhat worried: "Touma, a 'Majin' refers to magicians who have reached the pinnacle of magical techniques and entered the realm of gods. Things that will definitely die, apples that will definitely fall from top to bottom, one plus one equals two... these are the unchangeable 'laws' of the world, which can be destroyed, reorganized, and created using the magic recorded in grimoires. One plus one can become three, apples can fall from bottom to top, and the dead will surely come back to life. Magicians call those who can do such things 'Majins.'"

Kamijou Touma instantly understood what Index was worried about. He just smiled at her: "No matter who it is, I will defeat them and save you."

Uninterested in the two of them expressing their feelings, Bai Jingyue just quietly looked at the sky. It had been fifteen years since he came to this world, and finally, he had reached this moment, the starting point of a story. He just didn't know what changes his presence would bring to this world.

While Bai Jingyue was contemplating the future, Stiyl and Shizuri Kagenui had completed their preparations. Even so, the two, who deeply understood the definition of a Majin, were still somewhat nervous. When they returned, they saw a dazed Bai Jingyue and Kamijou Touma chatting with Index, and immediately got angry.

"Do you know what you're facing? And you're still taking it easy here?"

Bai Jingyue, startled, looked at the two with an impatient expression: "Are you idiots? I'm a psychic, what preparation do I need? Touma only has one right hand, what preparation does he need? We're already prepared, we're just waiting for you."

Since they were prepared, let's start!

The few people took their positions, and Index opened her mouth to cooperate with Kamijou Touma's right hand. At this moment, everyone saw the magical symbols on her throat. Stiyl, seeing the decisive evidence, was so angry that he crushed his cigarette butt.

Finally, Kamijou Touma's right hand touched the symbol.

Unlike the feeling of eliminating abnormal powers in the past, Kamijou Touma now felt a strong pain, and his entire body was thrown back.

Meanwhile, Index emitted a terrifying aura and floated up.

"Alert, Chapter 3, Section 2, all barriers from 1 to 3 have been confirmed to be penetrated." The Index they saw was no longer the lovable one.

"To protect the 103,000 grimoires in the 'Library,' the priority is to repel the invader. Based on the information from the 103,000 grimoires in the 'Library,' the magical formula that penetrated the barrier is being reverse-engineered... failure." The red lines forming a magic circle in Index's eyes were impossible to look at directly.

"To obtain the structure of the formula, read the specific magic for the invader, successfully read and execute the most effective magic against a single invader, now activating the specific magic 'St. George's Domain' to destroy the invader." The red magic circle in her eyes enlarged and appeared beside Index, forming two overlapping magic circles with a diameter of over two meters in front of her. Then, the magic circles, centered on the point between Index's eyebrows, extended cracks in all directions, as if forming a wall.

Stiyl and Shizuri Kagenui now understood that what Bai Jingyue said was correct. Index could use magic, which meant they would really face a "Majin"-level battle. However, Bai Jingyue was not worried because he knew that Index, restricted by the "Automatic Recorder" and remote-controlled spiritual equipment, was at most half a "Majin."

A white light beam shot toward Kamijou Touma, but he blocked it with his right hand. However, Kamijou Touma could not eliminate the light beam; he could only hold it back.

"The main force is Touma, we will just provide support." As he spoke, countless ice spikes appeared in the air, striking the "St. George's Domain" and creating a field of ice flowers. However, the "St. George's Domain," which used space as a defense, was not something Bai Jingyue's ice spikes could penetrate.

"The 'St. George's Domain' is ineffective against the invader, switching to other formulas, continue to destroy the invader." The light beam became thicker, and Kamijou Touma's right hand began to show signs of injury.

"Salvare000 (Extend aid to those who cannot be saved)." Shizuri Kagenui did not attack Index herself but the ground beneath her feet. Strong steel wires cut through the ground, moving the rocks. Losing her footing, Index's body leaned back, and the light beam swept across the sky, shattering a satellite above Academy City.

However, Index quickly adjusted and resumed floating in the air.

Some white feathers were falling from the sky. Seeing these white feathers, Shizuri Kagenui remembered something and quickly warned everyone: "That is the 'Dragon King's Sigh,' equivalent to a strike from the dragon in the legend of St. George. Even a slight touch can cause massive damage!" However, there was no time to deal with these feathers.

The light beam that destroyed everything aimed at Kamijou Touma again.

"Fortis931 (Here I prove my strength)." This time it was Stiyl. The runes spread throughout the park greatly enhanced his Witch Queen hunting, and a giant flame giant blocked the light beam. Although it was continuously destroyed, it was also continuously reborn. The scorching heat made the entire park's scenery blurry, and the precision instruments like the "Stasis Loop" were forced back by the high temperature.

"Touma!"

Without needing Bai Jingyue to remind him, Kamijou Touma understood that this was the moment to completely free Index. He used all his strength to charge toward Index.

Bai Jingyue was also making his own efforts. He continuously created ice walls above the group, intending to protect Kamijou Touma from the damage from above. He did not want his few good friends to lose their memories. However, the feathers seemed unstoppable, and his ice walls crumbled upon contact.

"Alert, Chapter 6, Section 13, new enemy detected, changing combat thinking mode, beginning battlefield information search... completed. Based on the current situation, the highest difficulty target to destroy is confirmed to be 'Bai Jingyue.'"

Huh? Bai Jingyue didn't understand. Wasn't it Kamijou Touma? Did he have some power he hadn't discovered?

There was no time to think. Kamijou Touma had already charged to within ten meters of Index. The light beam from Index was still being blocked by the Witch Queen hunting.

"Warning, Chapter 99, Section 0, target formula calculation complete. Inferred to be the Norse mythological ritual, using 'Odin's Exile.'"

A strange situation occurred. Bai Jingyue suddenly spurted blood all over his body and slowly fell to the ground. He saw Kamijou Touma, shouting "Kill this illusion," place his right hand on Index's head. In an instant, everything changed.

"Alert... Final... Chapter, Section... 0, 'Collar'... fatal... damage... regeneration... impossible..."

The "St. George's Domain" disappeared, and the red magic circle in Index's eyes gradually faded as she fell to the ground.

Although Bai Jingyue was mysteriously injured, Kamijou Touma still breathed a sigh of relief. They had finally succeeded. But seeing this, Bai Jingyue struggled to stand up.

"How can this be? How can this be! I didn't come here to see Touma lose his memory!"

The feathers surrounded Kamijou Touma. If nothing happened, he would be seriously injured and hospitalized, losing all his memories.

"How can I accept this!"

"Freeze it!" This was the first time Bai Jingyue, who had come to this world, shouted from the bottom of his heart!

Originally, Bai Jingyue thought his ability was to freeze liquids within his perception, as he had once told Aleister. But he was wrong. Visible ice crystals enveloped each feather, but Bai Jingyue knew it wasn't ice because the ice crystals contained no water. If he wasn't mistaken, he had—frozen magic.

After completing an act that could shock all magicians if it were known, Bai Jingyue could no longer hold on and lost consciousness.
