And just as Takatsuki had estimated, the structure of the Red Stone of Aja gave Aozaki Touko a lot of inspiration.
After all, what she had originally envisioned, being able to reflect dozens of times, was already very exaggerated, but now by imitating the structure of the Red Stone of Aja, she further strengthened her accumulated heavy Mystic Eyes.
The accumulated heavy Mystic Eyes, after thousands of reflections and enhancements, could even directly affect Takatsuki.
However, this also greatly shocked Aozaki Touko.
It should be known that her Mystic Eye, which had only been strengthened once, surpassed the Mystic Eye of Kuonji Alice, yet after this super-upgraded plus version, it only had some effect, which shows how exaggerated Takatsuki's magic resistance was.
However, Takatsuki didn't think much of it, because the effect of the accumulated heavy Mystic Eyes was to interfere with restraint and charm, rather than causing direct destruction. This ability could be offset by more powerful magic, and Takatsuki's total magic power far exceeded that of all mages in this world.
The confrontation of mysteries was, in the end, a confrontation of foundations.
This temporary master-disciple relationship could be said to have brought sufficient gains to both parties.
However, Takatsuki's request to copy Aozaki Touko's character template was rejected.
Although they had become briefly familiar, Aozaki Touko still couldn't completely let go and allow others to scan her body data.
It should be known that there were many ways to control people in the magical world.
Fortunately, Takatsuki was not a person from the magical world, so Aozaki Touko didn't get angry because of this; she merely gave a warning and didn't bring up the matter again.
"Bianka, I'm planning to return to our world the day after tomorrow. Do you need anything before we leave?"
Lying on the bed, Takatsuki asked the girl beside him. After half a year of getting along, Takatsuki felt that Durandal was easier to talk to.
And Durandal was also rare in not having to worry about Honkai, but her daily training still didn't stop, because she knew that after returning, she would have to fight to save the world again.
"Are you already preparing to go back?"
Durandal leaned her head on his shoulder: "This period of time felt like a dream, but it's good to go back. Everyone is still waiting. I don't have anything else to do, you've prepared everything for me, haven't you?"
Durandal knew that no matter how long this trip lasted, it would only be one night in the Original World, so she naturally accepted having more time to train, but if the time was too long, others would notice something was off when she returned.
After all, she was still at an age where she was growing, and after a long time, she would inevitably look different from her original appearance.
"Don't actually treat it as a dream."
Takatsuki said with a smile. In fact, he had originally wanted to visit several other parallel worlds.
But he found that he simply didn't know which world was the one he was familiar with. Although he could try his luck, the time periods in each world were different, and it would be too difficult to encounter the right one.
"Of course."
Durandal replied, saying nothing else, pulling the blanket up over herself and closing her eyes.
"?"
Seeing Durandal's somewhat unusual behavior, Takatsuki was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much of it, turning over and hugging her.
Seeing Durandal's gaze, Takatsuki explained, "When you stop moving around in your sleep, you won't have to do this anymore."
They were already an old couple; Takatsuki knew what Durandal wanted to say just by looking at her eyes. Whether in a dream or in reality, this had not changed.
"I can't help it; this is something that can't be trained."
Durandal, who clearly had strong control, couldn't control her sleeping posture after falling asleep, which could be considered an interesting quirk.
The next day, Takatsuki told Aozaki Touko about his plan to leave.
"Has it come to this?"
Aozaki Touko took the cigarette from her mouth: "Unconsciously, it's almost a year now. Then let's fulfill our agreement."
Watching the puppets begin to move as Aozaki Touko gave commands, Takatsuki looked at Aozaki Touko, who was leaning by the window, lost in thought: "Are you really sure? You know I might never come back, so once I go, there's no turning back."
"My magic attribute is wind, and wind doesn't stay in one place for long, and there's nothing left in this world for me to be nostalgic about."
As she spoke, Aozaki Touko had already packed her things.
"Since you've decided, please accept this as a farewell gift."
Takatsuki took out a short sword that looked like it was forged from gems.
Jeweled Sword Zelretch.
With Aozaki Touko's help, Takatsuki successfully created this Mystic Code through projection.
Aozaki Touko had seen the design blueprint before, but she wasn't very interested because her own magic hadn't been fully developed yet, and this weapon required too many resources to be crafted into a finished product. However, she still helped Takatsuki perfect some parts he didn't understand.
"A projected weapon, not bad. Perhaps the design blueprint for this Jeweled Sword can achieve its greatest effect in your hands."
Aozaki Touko wasn't being pretentious; projected weapons were practically worthless, and even she couldn't make projected weapons last long. However, she still used some methods to seal this Jeweled Sword, ensuring that the rate of magic loss was reduced to the minimum.
"Since you've given me a farewell gift, I naturally can't be stingy."
Saying that, Aozaki Touko took a notebook out of a drawer.
"These are the Rune runes I once organized. Since I'm leaving this world, I'll leave them to you."
Rune runes, or rather, Rune characters themselves, possess great power.
But…
It's useless to Takatsuki!
It's impossible for him to slowly learn this, because the system made him not be troubled by language, so he saw Rune characters just like ordinary text.
Moreover, if one wanted to learn Rune characters, the best teacher would not be a magus, but a true deity.
One must know that Rune characters themselves are the script used by deities, and each character possesses power.
The Hestia Blade Hestia gave him had Rune characters carved on it. One time, when he took it out to see what was carved on it, he found it to be extremely chuunibyou.
However, the general meaning was that this sword was equivalent to a clone of Hestia, and it had only one master; others holding it would only cause it to gather dust. As for the description of the sword's sharpness, it said a lot of things like 'nothing it cannot cut' and 'cuts through everything'.
This led to the sword being sharp to an exaggerated degree.
Nevertheless, Takatsuki still thanked Aozaki Touko for her generosity. After all, even if he didn't value it, it didn't mean the item wasn't precious.
After sending Aozaki Touko away from this world, Takatsuki returned and found Durandal.
This journey, it was time for it to end.
