Starting from the creation of Samadhi True Fire at Shenhuoshuo Village

Chapter 203 The target is astral plasma
The lowest level of the Tokyo Municipal College of Magic is a secret hall called the Hoshiko Palace.

In the main hall of the main hall, a girl stood there, and beside her stood a man with a bun and slender eyes.

This man was Xia Youjie, the most powerful super-level magician in this era along with Gojo Satoru.

And this girl is a special existence called an 'astral body', named Riko Tenuchi.

It’s a long story about what astral matter is.

Tian Yuan, a magician from thousands of years ago, possessed a famous spell called "Immortality", which could achieve immortality.

However, this kind of immortality requires humans who meet her physical conditions as sacrifices to reset the spell, otherwise her body will evolve and may cause devastating disasters to humans.

At the same time, because Lord Tianyuan's sealing technique is vital to the world of magic, people are more inclined to protect her. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate humans suitable for Tianyuan's body every 500 years and sacrifice themselves in exchange for Tianyuan's longevity.

In other words, in order to protect an absolutely strong person, the weak as ordinary people must be sacrificed.

The astral bodies are those humans who live as sacrifices to Lord Tianyuan.

And today is the day when the astral body, Riko Tenuchi, prepares to die for Lord Tianyuan.

——"You have to go down this staircase until you reach the root of the big tree."

"Before assimilation, Master Tianyuan will protect you."

"Or, you can turn around and go home with Miss Kuroi now."

Xia Youjie said with a gentle face.

"Eh...? What does that mean?"

Riko Tennai asked in a daze before the tears in her eyes were wiped away.

"Gojo Satoru and I are the strongest."

"No matter what path you choose, we can protect your future."

……

Xia Youjie smiled slightly, but Riko Tenuchi in front of him was already crying.

The astral body, this kind of existence similar to cannon fodder, is educated to adulthood as a stepping stone, and is forced to accept its own disappearance at the most beautiful age.

This is too unreasonable and cruel.

From a young age, Riko Uchichi has firmly believed that she has an important mission. Her death can prevent Master Tianyuan from evolving and can benefit the world. Every time she thinks about this, her determination to die becomes extremely firm.

She has been thinking about everyone from beginning to end, but after listening to Xia Youjie's words, how could she have thought that someone would think about herself like this?

As Xia Youjie said, their special magicians are the most powerful existences in the world. Maybe they really have the ability to solve Lord Tianyuan's matter on their behalf.

And as long as she leaves here, Riko Tennai can live a carefree life as before, study, play, work, and enjoy her own youth and life with peace of mind...

"Ugh..."

While sobbing, Tennai Riko discovered that Xia Youjie had stretched out a hand to her.

As long as you take this hand, the gears of destiny will start to turn.

The girl who was so eager to live showed her tearful smile at this moment.

Time is frozen at this moment.

At the same time, Xia Youjie and Tenuchi Riko did not notice at all————

The 'Spell Master Killer' Fushiki Shiji had concealed all his aura, and raised his pistol at Riko Tenuchi's left head not far away.

Killing the astral body and preventing Tianyuan's physical body from assimilating, this is the mission Fuheishier received.

As a bounty hunter, he takes money to do things and never cares about the injustice behind the mission.

Fuheishier pulled the trigger without hesitation.

When the muzzle of the gun burst out with scorching flames, a speeding bullet suddenly shot out of the chamber, approaching at a speed that was completely undetectable by the naked eye, until it hit Riko Tennai's head within a millimeter!
In the next moment, Riko Tennai will definitely die.

however.

Time was frozen at this moment and did not flow to the next moment.

……

"Well…"

"Eh...? What's going on?"

When Riko opened her hazy eyes, she felt that the surroundings were completely dark, with only a few bright red firelights barely allowing her to see clearly what was in front of her. There seemed to be a long staircase in front of her, and there was a graceful and luxurious throne on the long staircase. A young man with a calm face sat on the throne and looked down at her, with bursts of evil in his red eyes.

However, for some reason, it makes people feel extra at ease and peaceful.

"Who are you?"

"Riko Tennai, this is your inner world."

"Inner world? What exactly are you..."

The young man smiled quietly.

"Don't ask for now. Let's look at your current situation."

One sentence quickly brought Riko Tenuchi back to reality.

Only then did Riko Tenchi realize that in the stagnant time, a bullet was about to shoot through her head.

At such a distance, wouldn't he be certain to die? Wait...why does time stop?

"I temporarily slow down the time of this world."

The young man smiled slowly.

"There are still 50 seconds until this bullet goes through your brain."

"..."

Not understanding who the young man in front of her was and how he did all this, Tenuchi Riko felt that his words were extremely true.

That bullet would pierce her brain——Tenauchi Riko could conceive of this scene in an instant and was convinced of it.

It was precisely because of this sense of reality that Riko Tenuchi was so frightened and cowered that she was trembling and speechless.

"Riko Tennai, you want to survive, right?"

"I……"

"Weren't you ready to reach out to Xia Youjie just now, and now you are still hesitating, haha..."

The young man stared at Riko Tenuchi with a smile, and those scarlet eyes seemed to be able to see through Riko Tenuchi's soul.

"Tell me a definite answer. You don't have much time left in your life."

"Ten, nine, eight..."

The boy started counting, and Riko Tenuchi was confused for a moment.

"Six, five..."

I'm so scared, so scared of dying, but who is this boy?

"four three……"

If he died in vain, Master Tianyuan would most likely evolve. Wouldn't he become an accomplice who endangers the whole world?

"Two, one..."

"me……"

"zero."

At the last moment of the boy's count, Riko Tenuchi finally no longer cared about everything she was thinking about, and finally shouted out what was in her heart with all her strength————

————“I want to live——!!!”

"!!!!!!"

This voice resounded in her inner world and shook the world.

It was at this moment that the world's time began to flow.

"Keng!!"

The violent collision sound of iron bullets bouncing off steel knives was immediately heard.

Xia Youjie looked at Riko Tennai in shock.

He was absolutely certain that the bullet that hit him just now was not a steel knife, but the head of Riko Tenuchi.
