'When did the kabbalah tree of life's fourth sephirah descend to this world in human form? This news is not good for the Magic Side. But I owe her a favor now, so I can't report this. And that woman, Laura, she's been deceiving me for so long!' Stiyl thought for a moment and then gave up the idea of reporting to the Archbishop. Anyway, she would eventually find out about the situation in Academy City, and he was just making her find out a little later. It didn_t matter at all.
"It seems my dear guardian is summoning me. Do you want me to restore this child before me from her current state?" Zadkiel turned to look at Index and said indifferently. For Zadkiel, everyone except Yoshino was of no concern. For a single word from her, Zadkiel could eliminate everyone present.
"Yes, please rescue this child from her current state now." The Magic power within her surged towards Zadkiel. An angel appearing in the human world still needed her Magic power to sustain her existence, even if it was just a clone that had descended.
[Warning! Chapter 4, Chapter 5, re-evaluation starting now! 'St. George's Sanctuary' attack ineffective! Switching to other Magic Formula, destroy the invader. Suitable Magic Formula found, activating Dragon King's Sigh. Maximum threat: Angel Zadkiel.] A stronger Magic Formula shot over, making Kanzaki Kaori and Stiyl's expressions change drastically.
"Be careful! This is the Dragon King's Sigh, a Magic Formula with the same meaning as the legendary 'St. George's Dragon's' strike!" Kanzaki Kaori hurriedly told Yoshino, but she didn't realize at the moment that in front of that attack, an Angel was present.
"Even if it's an attack just like St. George's Dragon, what good is it?" She reached out to block the beam. The moment it made contact, its Vector was directly refracted at a ninety-degree angle.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the apartment's roof was directly pierced, and the light pillar shot straight into the sky. Outside Earth's atmosphere, a satellite that had just passed by was hit by this attack, instantly turning into fragments, with pure white light feathers formed by energy drifting down from the sky.
"It seems the situation is quite intense. Aren't you worried, Toujou Nozomi?" Suzuya Yuriko, standing on the opposite building, asked Toujou Nozomi, who was fiddling with her tarot cards. To be so calm now, she really admired her a little.
"What does it matter? Didn't you see the holy light just now? That must have been emitted by Yoshino. You know, Yoshino, who has summoned the power of an Angel, won't be defeated by something designed by humans. Besides, I did a divination for myself, and the result is very good, you know."
"Hmph! Vile woman! Why did you do a divination for yourself?" Since your divination is so accurate, why didn't you check for Yoshino if she could successfully pass this trial?
"Because my divination isn't very useful for Yoshino, but it can be deduced in reverse this way." And that person named Kamijou Touma can't be predicted either.
...I cannot directly interact with this Magic Formula on this mortal right now. All I can do now is directly destroy the caster, otherwise, guardian, your current energy cannot sustain my avatar's descent for too long." He was very annoyed that he kept resisting without fighting back. But this was his guardian's request, so he could only silently accept it.
"No. Please don't harm this child. I have a plan to destroy her Magic Formula. If possible, please cover Mr. Kamijou as he approaches Index." He just needed to touch her with his right hand. Just like before.
...As expected, it is mercy. I will obey the command. Hmm? How interesting. I didn't expect this young man's right hand to be functioning as a 'world benchmark'. No wonder it can destroy Magic Formula. Then get ready now, young man." An unexpected gain. He had only come in response to a summons, but he didn't expect to encounter such an interesting existence. It seemed this trip was not in vain.
"Go now! Mr. Kamijou! You are the one who can save Index now!" Yoshino was still not very good at controlling the conversion of her spiritual power into magical power. The successful conversion ratio was roughly one to five. Now, Yoshino's spiritual power was also rapidly depleting. Suddenly feeling power being injected into her body, Yoshino turned to look behind her.
"Kanzaki-san!"
"I can't help much now. But the 'Saint's Power' within me can be injected into the Saintess, which will allow you to sustain the Angel for a longer time." Kanzaki Kaori looked at the slightly fatigued Yoshino, knowing that her magical power might have been depleted too much. She couldn't do nothing; at least she could contribute her share.
"I understand!!" Ignoring his injured and bleeding hand, Kamijou Touma quickly ran towards Index. His right hand was his only hope now.
[Warning! Chapter 22, Section 1, 'St. George's Domain' entering second phase, 'My God! Why have you forsaken me!' (Eli Eli sabachthani). The most troublesome situation is now: Kamijou Touma, prioritizing the destruction of Kamijou Touma!] The blue-white light turned into a crimson light, causing Zadkiel to be pushed back for an instant before pushing forward again.
When turning towards Kamijou Touma, a light gate appeared in front of him. Zadkiel once again appeared in the light gate, reaching out to block Index's attack.
"It seems human Magic Formula still has its merits; it allowed me to retreat for an instant. Compared to the boring Heaven, this place offers me more fun." Although Heaven was beautiful, he was Yoshino's Guardian Angel. The only thing he did when bored in Heaven was fall into slumber. In that unchanging place, this place truly brought him more enjoyment.
'Oh God, if this world operates according to the miracles you created, then I will...' Kamijou Touma, who was within arm's reach, stretched out his right hand towards Index, "Let's dispel this illusion!" He pressed firmly on Index's head, causing all the light sources to dissipate at once.
[Warning... Final Chapter, Section Zero... 'Collar' suffered fatal damage, unable to... regenerate...] After speaking, she collapsed to the ground, while Kamijou Touma relievedly helped Index up, believing the situation was now resolved.
"Zadkiel, protect Mr. Kamijou!" Yoshino shouted anxiously. The danger was not yet over. Those fatal light feathers were about to drift onto Kamijou Touma's head.
"Understood." A golden halo appeared around the two, firmly protecting them together. When the light feathers fell onto it, they emitted intense ripples, but this prevented Kamijou Touma from suffering the amnesia he experienced in the original work after being struck by the light feathers. Now that the light feathers had disappeared, Yoshino, who had persevered, collapsed to the ground. Her spirit dress, without the support of magical power, instantly emitted a blue light and slowly receded, revealing Yoshino's delicate skin.
But just as everyone was about to see Yoshino's sacred body, countless tarot cards flew in, floating around Yoshino, and a tremor came from the ground. A white, beautiful figure instantly passed by, scooping up Yoshino's body. Toujou Nozomi suddenly appeared beside Yoshino and materialized a black Gothic Lolita dress on Yoshino's body with her magical power. If the Muses were here, they would recognize this as the dress Yoshino wore during the last captain selection.
"I'm leaving now too. It seems my adorable guardian is also tired. This level isn't enough; this time, my avatar only descended for about ten minutes. And I even used my original power. It seems my cultivation isn't enough. Then let me help you." Zadkiel gently kissed Yoshino's forehead, then touched his own lips with satisfaction before dissipating into golden light in the air. Suzuya Yuriko and Toujou Nozomi's gazes fell upon the two boys present.
"You didn't see anything you shouldn't have, did you?"
"If you did, then we'll have to have a 'friendly' chat, won't we?"
"Stiyl, the Saintess is not for you to defile." Just like that, the three girls stood in a line, looking at the trembling boys.
"Well, actually, we didn't see anything."
"That's not for you to decide." Just like that, the three of them approached them with smiling faces.
"Misfortune!!!"
