I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

There is a villa on a secluded hill in a suburb of Tokyo.

No, this can no longer be described as a villa. Regardless of the architectural style, just the area, it is almost comparable to the palaces of ancient dignitaries.

A black iron fence that has some age even though it has no rust surrounds the entire hill. Its area is more than enough to host a primary school with a football field.

Inside the fence is the "forest" garden - yes, it is indeed a forest, there is no more appropriate word than this - in the forest, dozens of large and small houses are scattered in an orderly manner, guarding the tall western-style building in the center. It also filled the entire mansion with a shocking pressure.

Of course, this coercion was not taken seriously by the two visitors who snooped late at night.

"Is this here? Shinji."

The woman with swaying blond hair is bathed in the bright moonlight, exuding a different kind of beauty.

However, the young man walking with her was not in the mood to appreciate this beauty, because this beauty contained a piercing murderous intention.

"It's right here, but...do you have to go in at this time? It will be dawn in two hours. Wait until I inquire about the situation first. What if I make a mistake?"

"No, you are not mistaken." Erquet shook his head resolutely, "Although it is very faint, I can feel that there are indeed traces of Roya here. Thank you for bringing me here, I know you are right Yes, but I really don’t want to wait any longer, not even for a minute.”

"I shouldn't have told you this news in advance."

Shinji scratched his hair and sighed. After all, I still overestimated Arquette's patience, or underestimated her hatred for Roja.

Arquette is very curious and very pestering. She simply cannot listen to words such as "You will know where you are". During the flight, she kept asking, asking Shenji in various ways where he wanted to take her. Shenji couldn't stand the endless questioning and told her that there might be a reincarnation of Roya in the Tono family. .

Ever since he heard Roya's name, Erquet had changed. His whole person had become extremely cold, and his unabashed murderous aura made the air ice cold.

She urged Pegasus to speed up, speed up, speed up, and even took the initiative to get off Pegasus' back to reduce Pegasus' burden. Later, when Shinji's magic power was insufficient, she carried him directly and flew to the top of the Tono family's mansion, two hours ahead of schedule.

"Forget it, if you don't want to wait, then don't wait. But before I go in, I want you to promise me three things."

"What's up?"

"First, only cause trouble for Roja and try not to affect other people."

"Second, if it really alarms other people, let me handle it, and you can concentrate on dealing with Roja."

"Third, and most importantly, you must hold back. No matter what Roja says, you can't kill him. I've already told you the reason - don't give him a chance to be reincarnated again."

Now that Roja's information had been revealed, Shenji simply revealed his plan to use the "Death Eye" to end his reincarnation. This was also the reason why Arquitect stood here talking to him, otherwise Arquitect would have been killed long ago. She rushed down and made a big fuss, just like she did when she killed Roja XVII. That time, she destroyed a small French town with her own hands.

Feeling the worry and concern in Shen Er's eyes, Erquette finally nodded:

"Okay, I promise you."

"Come with me, find my friend first and see what she finds."

Shinji said as he materialized Hades' cloak and landed silently on the branch of a certain tree.

After briefly recalling Chengzi's description, and using the moonlight to identify the direction, a man and a woman walked toward a single-family cabin on the side of the western-style building.

Compared with the tall western-style buildings not far away, the hut looked very inconspicuous and did not look like it was inhabited. But Shinji knew that this was Aozaki Orange's favorite environment.

"It's true. However, the activation of this rune means that she is resting."

The runes on the back of a stone outside the house also provide strong evidence for Shenji's judgment - this is a defensive magic laid by Orange. Only Shenji and Sakura, who are both rune envoys, can understand its meaning.

"Well... it's not easy to wake her up. I have no choice but to be a little rude."

After gesturing to Arquette to wait where she was, Shinji walked past the stone.

The moment he stepped over the rune, the spell hidden under the earth, relying on the earth's veins, was activated, and magic bullets containing the power of the curse shot out from the lawn and hit him head-on.

Shinji did not dodge, relying on the influence of the magic bullet brought by the golden apple to ignore the magic power, and continued to move forward.

The second wave of attacks followed, and this wave was not so easy to deal with.

The first wave is just a warning, the curse in the magic bullet is not fatal, just dizzying. But if they continue to move forward, they will be regarded as enemies and be culled with all their strength.

The thunder runes lit up, and the electric light flashed, interweaving a purple and gold power grid.

Shen Er used both hands to outline two lightning runes, creating a gap in the power grid by offsetting each other. But before he could pass through the gap, several shadows suddenly appeared around him.

The power grid is just a cover and a cover-up, this is the real killer move.

Shen Er frowned slightly, but his movements were not slow. He held the "magic spear, bow and sword" that had not been used for a long time in his hand, and walked around. The shadow apostle was instantly torn apart.

"I see, using lightning to cast shadows, and summoning shadow apostles from the shadows... As expected of Orange, he can even think of such a technique. It seems that Erquet's impulse is not without its benefits, and he is looking forward to it more and more. What’s a wave?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the third wave arrived as expected.

Shadows, countless shadows swaying. The swaying shadows gathered into the "Shadow Apostle". The "Shadow Apostle" brought a large area of ​​shadow and summoned more companions. In just a blink of an eye, the lawn outside the house was filled with shadows, and it was difficult to tell whether it was real or not. magical.

"It's such a big scene, but—that alone can't stop me."

The enhanced magic was deployed, the sword was dazzling, and Shinji was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing them wantonly. Accustomed to fighting against servants and vampires, this kind of summoned creature has long been ignored by him. You don't even need to use any treasures, you can kill them all with just a magic blade.

But as he kept killing, he noticed something was wrong.

The structure of the technique is indeed excellent, and the defensive effect is also top-notch, but Orange is not satisfied with being first-rate, especially when it comes to the two subjects of "familiar" and "puppet".

If it were her, she would definitely not be satisfied with this method of simply using numbers to kill the enemy. She must have some back-up plan.

what is it?

Just as Shen Er was thinking, a figure different from the shadow appeared behind him and slashed at the back of his neck with a hand knife.
