263 Chapter 262: Kill

As Charles pulled his hand out from the palm-sized hole piercing through Morgana's abdomen, she collapsed backward, blood oozing profusely from the wound, quickly staining the ground red.

At this moment, the paralysis brought by Chidori had completely dissipated. From within Veronica's body, a furious shout erupted:

"You've killed Veronica, the lover of your teacher, not me, Morgana."

Morgana's soul directly transformed into tiny specks of starlight, floating out of Veronica's body and finally converging nearby.

Seeing Morgana willingly leave Veronica's body, Charles's heart calmed down. Everything was just as he anticipated. 

In the original story, Balthazar intended for his disciple to trap him and Morgana together in a Matryoshka doll. However, Morgana immediately escaped from Balthazar's body during the process. 

Now, with Veronica's body on the verge of death, Morgana would undoubtedly choose to leave. Otherwise, during the previous Chidori strike, he would have aimed for the heart, not just pierced through the abdomen. 

Seizing this opportunity, Charles immediately used Palm Technique, slapping green chakra onto Rovinia's abdominal wound to stop the bleeding and restore her injuries.

"Let's get to know each other, Merlin's successor!"

"Hah!"

With Morgana's angry roar, electricity crackled in her hand, and spherical lightning bolts shot towards Charles.

Charles immediately flung Veronica's body towards the unconscious Balthazar on the side, using Substitution Jutsu to evade. The wooden dummy left behind was instantly shattered by the lightning.

"This isn't Merlin's magic at all."

While Morgana spoke, her movements did not cease. She threw more ball-shaped lightning towards the area where Charles's figure was, forcing him to dodge with all his might.

Charles knew that continuous evasion wasn't a solution. With a swift motion, he erected a magic shield in front of him and then formed hand seals.

"Lightning Release: Thunderbolt!"

A lightning bolt descended from the sky, directly striking towards Morgana. However, upon contact with her body, she instantly split in half, and the lightning struck the ground without harming her.

As Morgana's soul gathered again, Charles increased the chakra output. In an instant, another lightning bolt descended, causing Morgana's soul to tremble.

It was the same jutsu. When using a large amount of chakra, it could summon two lightning bolts to strike the enemy. At the same time, Charles's magic shield shattered after withstanding three ball-shaped lightning strikes.

Seeing Morgana briefly paralyzed, Charles knew he couldn't miss this opportunity. Ignoring the issue of his own image, he waved his hand.

Instantly, Temari's Seven-Star Fan and Kamatari appeared around him.

Charles opened the Seven-Star Fan, chakra gushing out, mobilizing nearly half of his own chakra. With a forceful swing,

"Tendo: Senpu no Mai (Heavenly Wind Dance of the Chakra Blades)!"

As Charles waved the Seven-Star Fan, Kamatari immediately leaped, forming a vortex with its body, creating a cyclone in an instant, it directly engulfed Morgana.

Within the raging tornado, wind blades and the scythe swung by Kamatari mixed with chakra attacks, Charles's move not only involved chakra but also invoked the power of the Dragon Ring.

Morgana's soul, within the tornado of wind blades, began to dissipate like particles.

"No, don't!"

The violent tornado, mixed with wind blades and the swinging scythe of Shurado, directly lifted the ground of the artillery square. 

The surrounding streetlights and trees were also swept into it, creating an exceptionally grand spectacle. Even the resurrection magic array in the sky showed signs of distortion due to the lack of Morgana's magical supply.

Seeing this scene, David and Drake, who were battling on the side, were both stunned on the spot. At the same time, a hint of envy rose in their hearts: "This is real magic!"

Drake, noticing Maxim had already fallen unconscious, knew things were bad and immediately turned to run.

Drake's escape instantly awakened the dazed David. Seeing his opponent fleeing and the tornado in the square, he explosively reacted.

David waved his hands, and two plasma lightning balls appeared above them. With a standard Kamehameha motion, he fired the two ball-shaped lightning directly at Drake's back.

"Boom, Boom!"

It directly killed the defenseless Drake on the spot. Seeing Drake fall, David quickly ran towards Balthazar's direction.

Charles's tornado not only destroyed the park but also showed signs of pulling Balthazar and Veronica into it.

Arriving at the side of the two, David propped one person on each shoulder. Looking at his senior brother, who was struggling to control the tornado, he turned and ran outside.

Senior brother is going all out; it's better not to join in the fun. I'll leave Morgana to you; I'll take care of Master and Mistress.

At this moment, Charles also noticed David's actions. Seeing him taking away the teacher and his wife, he shifted his gaze back to Morgana in the tornado.

Although Morgana's soul was dissipating, the speed was not very fast. To sustain this tornado and the significant chakra consumption, it wasn't an easy task for both Charles and Kamatari. 

It seemed that wind-style ninjutsu was not as effective as lightning-style when it came to eliminating wizards.

Without hesitation, Charles stopped forming hand seals. Instead, he controlled the Dragon Ring and continuously unleashed Lightning jutsu in rapid succession.

One, two, five, ten lightning bolts continuously struck Morgana in the tornado. Under the relentless bombardment of lightning and wind blades from the tornado, Morgana's soul completely turned into particles and dissipated in the air.

Seeing Morgana completely dead, Charles also ceased his attacks. However, in this fierce battle, Charles's chakra had also reached its limit.

With no more chakra input, Kamatari also stopped rotating. No longer serving as the eye of the wind to create the tornado, the fallen Kamatari ran back to Charles's side. As the Seven-Star Fan dissipated, Kamatari also departed.

At this point, Morgana had already died completely. Under multiple attacks like lightning, wind tornado, and more, and with no continuous magical input from Morgana, the resurrection magic array also showed signs of distortion in the absence of her magical supply.

The resurrection magic array also shattered in the air and completely dissipated.

As the magic array dissipated, the evil wizards, who had already resurrected most of their bodies and were about to crawl out of the abyss of death, instantly disintegrated after emitting a resentful roar, and the resurrection attempt failed.

Looking at the mostly destroyed park, Charles's figure flickered, instantly appearing beside the bodies of Maxim and Drake. After storing their bodies and magical items in the storage space, he then approached David, looking at Balthazar and Veronica lying next to him.

Charles first went to check Veronica's body, ensuring she hadn't died. Then, with green chakra flowing in his hands, he covered her wounds.

"David, quickly go and bring our car."

Upon hearing Charles's order, David hurriedly ran to where Balthazar had parked the car and drove it over.

By now, Charles's chakra had reached its limit. He could only suspend Veronica's life as much as possible. With the Palm Technique covering Veronica 's wound again, cells began to rapidly divide, muscle tissues started to regenerate, and the wound began to heal.

Seeing David bringing the car over, Charles picked up Veronica and placed her in the back seat of the car.

"What are you standing there for? Carry the teacher into the car as well and hurry back to the office. Only then can both of them can be saved."

David, who had just realized the situation, quickly lifted Balthazar. Looking at Veronica lying in the back seat, he was unsure where to place his teacher.

Seeing David's dumbfounded look, Charles said with no words, "I'm out of magic power. Now, turn the car into a seven-seater SUV."

Hearing his senior brother's instructions, David placed his hands on the car. After a surge of magic power, Balthazar's luxury car transformed once again into a seven-seater SUV. David then placed Balthazar on the back seat and fastened the seatbelt.

Though David didn't turn the car into an antique, Charles was still satisfied. At least this guy didn't mess up, although he didn't know if David had already mastered casting spells without a magic ring.

Without thinking too much, Charles sat in the driver's seat, brought the three people into the car, and sped towards the direction of the Agency.

As Charles and the others left, the ancient one, hidden in the mirror dimension, looked at the destroyed park and the satellites above. 

She then smiled and said, "The Supreme Merlin is about to return. It seems that the person replacing the Sorcerer Supreme won't be too far away either."

...

SHIELD-

Triskelion Building - Global Disaster Monitoring Center-

Nick Fury and Coulson saw the magic array inside and the giant tornado rising into the sky. Nick Fury's heart had already sounded the alarm, ready to inform the government to evacuate the civilians.

However, not long after, the satellite images showed that both the tornado and the energy array in the sky had dissipated.

Looking at this sudden appearance and disappearance, Nick Fury's heart was not particularly happy but rather frowned.

This kind of uncontrolled and inexplicable event touched his sensitive nerves.

"Coulson, immediately inform Hawkeye and Natasha to come to my office, and you also come over."

Nick Fury left after giving his instructions.

Upon hearing the director's orders, Coulson copied some documents and immediately went to inform Hawkeye and Natasha to report to the director.

Although it was already nighttime, the SHIELD Triskelion Building was brightly lit.

In Nick Fury's office, Hawkeye, Natasha, and Coulson had all arrived.

Looking at his three subordinates, Nick Fury spoke, "Just now, there was an unnatural phenomenon at the Battery Park. There was an energy array covering half of New York and a giant tornado soaring into the sky."

"Leaving aside the energy array in the high altitude, the appearance of a tornado in the city park is also not in line with common sense. It's an unnatural occurrence."

"Coulson, what did you find in the monitoring center?"

Coulson organized the documents and handed one to Natasha and Hawkeye each. Then, he began to report, "Due to the interference of the energy array and the current technological level of satellites, we couldn't see the specific situation at the park square."

"Also, because it's a park, there are no surveillance devices installed, so we can't obtain specific information." 

"From satellite photos, we could see something resembling an energy array appearing, followed by a large amount of plasma in the center of the energy array, which is lightning and dark clouds."

"Then, the tornado and dozens of lightning bolts striking from the sky were captured by the satellite. Besides that, the monitoring center didn't find anything else."

Hearing Coulson's report, Nick Fury nodded. It was roughly as he expected.

"Natasha, Hawkeye, I have an urgent task for you now. Immediately bring two teams to blockade the Battery park. No one is allowed to approach there."

"Neither the CIA nor the FBI is allowed to get close. We, SHIELD, have taken control of the area."

"After sealing off the scene, conduct an on-site investigation immediately. See if you can find any useful information."

"Yes!"

Hearing the orders, Natasha and Hawkeye didn't linger; they immediately got up and left the office.

Now, Nick Fury looked at Coulson and said, "Early tomorrow morning, you immediately go to Charles Agency. Bring enough energy blocks with you."

"Commission Charles for intelligence, ask if he knows what happened today, who caused all this, and the purpose of the other party."

After contemplating for a moment, Nick Fury continued, "Find out if there are organizations and forces secretly protecting this world. You can consult him about it."

"If he is not clear about this event, inquire about the things related to Konoha Hidden Village or Sand Hidden Village. Ask if they are open to cooperation."

"As for the price, let him communicate with the people behind him."

"As for the direction of cooperation, they can either send their people to join SHIELD or choose to have our agents enter their ninja school to study."

"Of course, if he disagrees, then try other forms of cooperation, like task commissions."

Hearing the director's instructions, Coulson paused for a moment and then said, "Is this a bit too hasty? We haven't been in contact for long."

Hearing Coulson's words, Nick Fury also realized, and then said, "This is just a probe, to see if they are willing to accept us or give us a chance for acceptance."

"You handle the balance yourself; there's no need to rush. We have plenty of time. Of course, it would be best if he could give us a chance for cooperation now. If we wait until our chakra devices are fully developed and cover the entire globe..."

Although Nick Fury didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was very obvious.

Coulson nodded to indicate his understanding.
