Chapter 83, the main text ends. Success and failure are both determined by fate...
Karasuma Renya sneered from behind the table.
Of course, Chinatsu Takanashi was not going to accept this. She took a deep breath and began to activate her magic.
Her control over magic was poor, far less precise than that of the cards. But perhaps the cards posed a greater threat to Karasuma Renya, because after she was captured, the cards were taken away and never returned to her.
But get ready for the explosion!
With the Fireball spell modified into an explosion spell, Takanashi Chinatsu refused to believe that the table could still defend against the explosion.
A red fireball flew towards Karasuma Renya, but was blocked by a black magic spell just before it exploded.
Takanashi Chika turned around in surprise, "Father!"
It was Takanashi Yuki who blocked her attack.
"Chika, you must not be rude to the master." Takanashi Yuuki said expressionlessly.
Karasuma Renya emerged from behind the table with a smug smile: "Guess why I waited until after the wedding to undo his hypnosis? Did you think I was completely unguarded around you?"
"Damn it!" Takanashi Chinatsu glared at Karasuma Renya, then suddenly cast a spell on Takanashi Yuuki: "Imprisonment!"
The magic transformed into a prison of light, imprisoning Takanashi within it.
"Who can protect you now?" Takanashi Chinatsu knew she couldn't beat Karasuma Renya in taijutsu, so she deliberately distanced herself and unleashed her Explosion Jutsu once more.
Another spell blocked China's attack once again.
It's a raven.
There were three ravens, one of whom was holding a staff.
Superpowers, magic, and physical skills.
Of these three aspects, they are the pinnacle of Raven.
The magical raven cast a spell, its supernatural powers controlling lightning, and its physical prowess charging straight at Chinatsu Takanashi.
Chizuru Takanashi panicked and used her explosive technique to fight and retreat.
Although her explosion spell was a mutated magic, its power was astonishing. When released over a large area, it blasted the three ravens into a mess.
Karasuma Renya watched quietly from the sidelines, enjoying Chinatsu's disheveled state and her panic.
"Stop fooling around, China, let's continue our wedding now, and I can pretend nothing happened."
Chinatsu Takanashi didn't answer him.
In response to Karasuma Renya, he was haunted by dark magic.
Countless large black hands reached out from the ground, grabbed the legs of the three ravens, and pulled them forcefully into the ground.
Whether it was magic, supernatural abilities, or powerful physical skills, they all became ineffective under the entanglement of the ghostly shadows, leaving them powerless to struggle and ultimately swallowed up by the ground.
"Looks like these are the only three." Despite being inside a magical cage, Takanashi Yuuki successfully used magic to save Chinatsu.
“Smino? You’ve regained your senses.” Karasuma Renya’s face was grim.
The little bird, Yuuki, nodded and slowly walked out of its cage.
Strangely enough, the cage, which was clearly meant to imprison him, seemed to be nothing more than an illusion, completely unable to trap him.
Chinatsu's lips curled into a wide smile.
Her magic can mutate, right? A fireball can mutate into a fireball that explodes, and a binding spell can become a phantom that can't bind people. Isn't that normal?
"So you were awake all along, and you were just pretending to be hypnotized to clear obstacles for China here." Karasuma Renya said in a sinister tone.
“You’re cautious, but arrogant. Because you’re cautious, you’ll leave some ravens to watch over the wedding, but because you’re arrogant, you won’t leave too many. So three should be enough. If there were any other ravens, they would probably have come out by now.” Takanashi Yuki walked up to Chizuru.
Karasuma Renya, though deceived, was not alarmed, but rather furious: "You think you two can defeat me? If China were a true magician, perhaps there would be a chance, but her magic is not skillful, and she can't even cast spells accurately. And you? China and I are evenly matched in luck, but that doesn't mean you are.
“You’re right, so over the past year, we’ve commissioned Eriol to prepare this.” Takanashi Yuki placed a stack of cards in Chizuru’s hand.
Karasuma Renya's eyes were wide with rage.
Takanashi Yuki smiled. He had endured for a year, not just to deal with the three ravens, but because Karasuma Renya truly trusted him and had allowed him to keep the confiscated cards.
The item has now been returned to its rightful owner.
Seeing that China took out a card, Karasuma Renya immediately stopped her: "It's no use, China. I know your magic power is not enough to support these cards. You still can't beat me. Why don't we stop now and compromise? The wedding can be held on another day."
"My power is insufficient, but what about angels?" Takanashi Chinatsu revealed the feather mark on her wrist.
That was a gift from the angels, allowing her to draw upon their power at any time.
"The amount of magic required to activate the cards is enormous; she can't possibly lend them to you!"
“She will lend it to me,” Takanashi Chinatsu said confidently.
Sister Nadeshiko, please lend me your strength.
As Chika had expected, Kinomoto Nadeshiko was almost always willing to grant her requests. Even when she went to curse Ran Mouri, Nadeshiko might have been puzzled, but she still chose to lend her her power.
They trusted each other.
The feathers lit up, and due to the immense power borrowed, angel wings suddenly materialized behind Takanashi Chika, each white feather distinct.
"wind."
A sudden gust of wind arose.
Karasuma Renya was blown about, this was the first time he had ever been so disheveled.
"China, Chi..."
"arrow."
He drew his bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed the magically formed arrow at Karasuma Renya.
Without any hesitation, Chinatsu Takanashi released the arrow from her fingers.
"Whoosh—"
The magic arrow transformed into a streak of light and pierced deeply into Karasuma Renya's body.
The wind stopped for a moment.
Karasuma Renya lowered his head; the arrow had already pierced his chest.
He looked up again, and fear finally showed in his usually composed eyes.
He suddenly thought of that woman, the woman he had used as a pawn and then abandoned—Vermouth's birth mother.
He slept because he was beautiful.
Because I didn't like it, I tossed it aside.
Everyone thought he abandoned the other person to protect the woman, and the woman thought so too.
—Until he used women as bait in order to reorganize the organization.
When she died, she was still wearing that elegant off-white dress, which was now stained red with blood.
Disgusting, extremely disgusting.
The rotten flesh, the stench, even the maggots.
Karasuma Renya kicked her head away.
Her neck was so fragile; it snapped with a "crack," lying quietly on her chest, twisted and stuck together with flesh and blood.
"Throw it away, it's disgusting." He waved his hand dismissively as he gave the order.
He didn't care about the idea of being buried in peace.
They're nothing but ants.
Oh, right, he also has a daughter, but she's just another ant.
An ordinary girl with ordinary luck, all she could do was contribute to his cause of immortality.
He visited Vermouth in the lab.
Skinny and small.
She curled up on the cold lab table, moaning like a cat, "It hurts."
What was he doing at the time? He was appreciating her; he was appreciating Vermouth's suffering.
He allowed the researchers to experiment freely, as long as she didn't die, he didn't care if she was injured or crippled, since she was a precious material he could use to research immortality.
He didn't want to find another pig to have another piglet; he was a human being, how could he possibly acknowledge an ordinary piglet?
He was always omnipotent, and fate never failed to grant his wishes.
He despised these people the most: insignificant, foolish, ordinary people who could only struggle in the mud because they couldn't rely on their great luck.
Can……
Today, the fate he relied on has played a cruel joke on him.
"No...no, you can't kill me!" Karasuma Renya struggled and roared, "I won't die, I will never die! Even if you possess great fortune, you can't kill me! I won't die!"
Karasuma Renya's eyes burned with a fierce fire as he stared stubbornly and unwillingly at Takanashi Chinatsu.
The bow and arrow vanished from Takanashi Chika's hands, but her wings continued to flutter slowly. Under the holy white light, her pure white wedding dress resembled a battle armor.
“Of course I could kill you. I hate you. I’ve never considered you close to me, even though we’ve lived together for so long.” Takanashi Chinatsu’s gaze was icy, her eyes filled with mockery as she retorted, “You really think I took advantage of Ran Mouri’s luck?”
Karasuma Renya stared blankly at China, not understanding what she meant.
"For so many years, you've only simply divided luck into good and bad luck, which is far too shallow. In this year's experiment, we repeatedly tested Ran Mouri's luck. She is indeed very lucky, even more so than me, but this time I'm using Shinichi Kudo's luck." Chinatsu Takanashi transferred Shinichi Kudo's luck to herself.
That's a kind of...
How should I put it? It's even a bit of bad luck.
That child is somewhat of a jinx; anyone who comes into contact with him is likely to get involved in a murder case, either becoming a victim or a murderer or suspect, but those close to him will not be killed.
Takanashi Chinatsu is not close to Karasuma Renya; it was all just an act from beginning to end. Despite spending so much time with Karasuma Renya, she harbors resentment towards the wedding, and it can be said that she was forced into it.
What if Shinichi Kudo's luck were to fall upon her at this time?
die.
Only death.
Karasuma Renya is left with only one path: death.
And that's exactly what she did. She acted swiftly and decisively, and more importantly, she didn't encounter much resistance. Compared to her previous operations against Karasuma Renya, this one went incredibly smoothly.
Even the result met expectations.
Karasuma Renya's roar seemed like a final burst of energy before death; he quickly lost all his strength and spirit, collapsing to the ground and losing consciousness completely in a pool of blood.
Even though it had stopped breathing and its heartbeat had ceased, its eyes remained wide open, its death unresolved.
Takanashi Chika went over to examine the other person's body, remaining vigilant until Karasuma Renya's body was completely cold before finally letting out a long sigh of relief, and the wings on her back slowly dissipated.
She turned her head and met Takanashi Yuki's gentle gaze, a relieved smile spreading across her face.

Author's Note: I have something to announce—
My new novel, "Did Blue Orange Wine Cause Trouble Today?", has started updating! You can check it out in my author's column if you like it. The main characters have no romantic partner, and there's a small amount of Gauguin involved.
This story begins with the protagonist's good fortune, then shifts to Karasuma Renya, who is superstitious about fate and is favored by it. Therefore, Karasuma Renya is given the ending of being killed by fate, which can be considered as getting what he asked for.
The main story is finished, and there is one more chapter as an extra.
Red envelopes will be dropping in the comments section!
