"Oh? Another one playing with fire."
Su Hui withdrew his hand and looked at the other person with great interest.
He could sense that the other party's power system was completely different from the superpowers of Academy City. It was a power that used runes and spells to manipulate some kind of rule of the world.
Although crude, it is closer to the origin of ninjutsu than the ninjutsu of the Naruto world.
"So you're the magician Index was talking about."
Kamijou Touma finally broke free from that terrifying pressure. He gasped for breath and looked at Stiyl with hostility.
Steele, however, completely ignored him and stared intently at Su Hui.
"I say it again, let her go."
"What if I say no?"
Su Hui's smile became increasingly amused.
"Then I will enforce it!"
Stiyl hurled the rune card in his hand, shouting, "Innocentius, the Witch Hunter!"
Before he finished speaking, the fire runes in the room instantly converged, forming a three-meter-tall fire giant whose entire body was made of scorching magma.
The temperature, exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius, made the air in the room feel like it was boiling, causing the paint on the walls to peel off and the furniture to begin to carbonize.
"Get out of the way!"
Kamijou Touma gasped in surprise and instinctively stretched out his right hand to block the terrifying fire giant.
He believed his "Imagine Killer" could eliminate it.
The fire giant roared and swung its massive fist made of lava, smashing it towards the three people in the center of the room.
however,
A hand gently pressed on Touma Kamijou's shoulder, pushing him aside.
"Watch closely, young man. This is what real power is."
Su Hui stood still, facing the fire giant that could instantly turn a person into charcoal, his face showing no emotion.
He didn't even activate his domain; he simply raised a finger and aimed it at the roaring behemoth that was charging towards him.
There was no light, no energy fluctuation, and no unusual phenomena at the fingertips.
Power control, law stripping away!
In an instant!
An invisible wave spread out from Su Hui as the center.
The menacing fire giant seemed to have been deleted.
All the magical runes that make up its body lost their connection with the rules of the world at the same time.
The spell structure that sustained its existence was forcibly dismantled, stripped away, and erased under the interference of a higher level of authority.
The enormous fire giant didn't even have time to let out a mournful cry before it crumbled inch by inch in mid-air.
The intense heat, enough to melt steel, cooled instantly, and the raging magic vanished into nothingness. In the end, only harmless sparks remained, drifting in the air like fireflies before disappearing completely.
The whole process takes less than a second.
The room temperature returned to normal, leaving only a mess and a pungent, burnt smell.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Kamijou Touma stood there, his right hand outstretched, completely stunned and blank.
He couldn't understand what had just happened.
Without a collision, without an explosion, that terrifying fire giant just... disappeared?
Stiyl Magnus's expression shifted from arrogance to astonishment, and then from astonishment to utter horror.
The cigarette he was holding fell to the ground, and his pupils contracted violently with fear.
"No...it's impossible...my 'King of Witch Hunters'...why would this happen..."
His magic, his most prized and strongest rune, was completely erased from its source by the other party in a way he could not comprehend at all!
This is not a cancellation, not a breakthrough, but a "dimensional reduction attack" from a higher dimension!
"too weak."
A cold voice sounded in his ears.
Stiyl froze; he hadn't even seen how the other person moved.
Next second,
A hand like an iron clamp gripped his neck and lifted his two-meter-tall body up like a chick with one hand.
As the feeling of suffocation overwhelmed him, Steel struggled desperately, trying to mobilize his magic, only to find that the magic circuits within his body were frozen and could not function at all.
Under Su Hui's domain suppression, his prized magical abilities became as fragile as a joke.
"you……"
"Noisy."
With a flick of his arm, Su Hui tossed Steele out of the seventh-floor window as if he were throwing away trash.
With a piercing scream and the loud crash of shattering glass, the world fell silent.
He clapped his hands as if he had only done something insignificant, then turned to look at the two people remaining in the room.
Kamijou Touma's body was still trembling uncontrollably, a fear stemming from his biological instincts.
Index crouched on the ground, her small body curled up in a ball, her emerald eyes filled with tears; she was clearly terrified.
Su Hui ignored the spiky-haired boy who had lost his usefulness.
He walked up to Index, bent down, and picked up the petite nun who was still trembling.
"Don't worry, brother will take you to eat something delicious."
His voice had a strange magic that miraculously calmed Index's trembling somewhat.
She looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, at the unfamiliar face. Hunger and fear intertwined, rendering her incapable of thinking.
"Let's go."
Holding Index, Su Hui's figure faded into thin air before the stunned Touma Kamijou, eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing completely from the apartment, as if he had never existed.
All that remained was a room in ruins and a spiky-haired boy whose worldview had been completely turned upside down.
a long time,
Kamijou Touma suddenly came to his senses and rushed to the window. The street below was bustling with traffic, but there was no sign of the man.
"What...what happened...this is terrible!"
The presidential suite at the Kremlin International Hotel in Academy City.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's dazzling night view unfolds.
Su Hui gently placed Index in his arms onto the soft sofa.
The girl was still in shock, her body trembling slightly.
Su Hui's fingers gently traced her delicate cheeks, sensing the vast and boundless demonic knowledge within her body, sealed layer upon layer.
"One hundred and thirty thousand books of demonic arts... a perfect vessel for knowledge."
A satisfied smile curved his lips: "Index, call me 'brother' and I'll hear it. If you do, you'll get something delicious!"
At this moment, Su Hui was like a creepy uncle trying to abduct a little girl, extremely evil.
"really?"
Index, simply faced with Su Hui's temptation, rubbed her rumbling stomach, her eyes sparkling.
"of course."
"Then, brother, older brother~"
"Call me 'good brother'!"
"Good brother~"
"Call me 'brother' and beg me, and I'll have the front desk prepare a feast for you." Su Hui smiled and pinched Index's little face.
"Good brother, please! I want to eat a big meal."
"Okay! I'll grant your wish."
Half an hour later.
Inside the room, a crystal chandelier cast a soft glow, and the air was filled with the enticing aroma of food.
A long dining table was set with a variety of exquisite dishes.
From top-quality Kobe beef to French-style baked snails, and a dazzling array of desserts and ice cream, it was as lavish as a royal dinner.
Index's eyes were already filled with the delicious food, and all her previous fear and anxiety had been thrown to the winds.
"Brother Su Hui...can I really eat these?"
She pointed timidly at the food on the table and asked cautiously, her mouth practically watering.
"Of course, it's all prepared for you."
Su Hui sat opposite her, elegantly cutting a steak, his tone tinged with doting affection.
Upon receiving permission, Index cheered and immediately rushed to the dining table.
She picked up a knife and fork, but became somewhat clumsy due to her excitement. Instead, she simply grabbed a roasted chicken leg with her hands and began to eat it heartily without any regard for her image.
"Yum! So delicious!"
As she ate, she mumbled praises, looking as happy as a cute little Hakimi.
Su Hui watched her wolf down her food, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He didn't care about Index's eating manners; on the contrary, he found her innocent and carefree demeanor quite amusing.
In his mental perception, deep within Index's brain, an extremely complex seal was emitting faint magical fluctuations.
This seal compresses and seals the vast amount of information from 103,000 grimoires, but its structure itself is like a time bomb.
It constantly drains the host's life force and memories to maintain its own stability, and needs to be "reset" once a year, otherwise the host will die because the brain cannot bear the burden.
"Using protection as a pretext to exert control. That's exactly the kind of thing those hypocrites from the British Puritans would do."
Su Hui sneered inwardly.
In his view, this vicious and inferior seal was full of flaws.
He could dismantle it from its source at any time with "Law Stripping" without causing any harm to Index.
However, now is not the time.
This seal itself is also a very good bait.
Index's face was covered in cream and sauce as she ate.
Su Hui picked up a napkin and naturally reached out to wipe her mouth.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Index paused, looked up, and a hint of confusion flashed in her emerald eyes.
This man who claims to be her brother, although terrifying, seems... not so bad?
He not only chased away the vicious red-haired magician, but also prepared so many delicious foods for her.
While she was still in a daze, a cold and sharp killing intent suddenly locked onto the entire room without warning.
The murderous aura was so condensed and substantial, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, hanging above everyone's head.
click-
The expensive tempered glass floor-to-ceiling window shattered silently without any external impact, turning into countless tiny crystals that were swept away by an invisible airflow, with not a single piece falling into the room.
A tall, lithe figure appeared in the broken window as if by teleportation.
