"Ka!" Sieg's hands tightly grasped the mass of flesh and blood in front of him. No matter how he attacked Sieg's body with the proliferated bone spikes, he had no intention of letting go.
"You can't kill me!" A face similar to that of Captain Odit of the Gate of the Abyss squirmed out of the mass of flesh and blood, roaring, struggling and squirming in an attempt to break free from Sieg's hand.
"Maybe I can't kill you, but it's okay to make you lose your ability to think." Shugeyin's cold words sounded, smoke condensed around him, and the smoke demon turned into a disembodied body and quickly moved towards the mass of flesh. The cheek that grew out went into the mouth.
Then, the smoke turned into an amorphous and omnidirectional meat grinder inside the meat ball, spreading, rotating, and crushing all the flesh and blood it could touch.
The bones were crushed, the flesh and blood was minced, and the all-pervasive nature of the smoke itself was used to complete the destruction of the mass of flesh and blood in Sieg's hand.
"I will not die. My Lord has given me the ability to survive even if I give up my soul. As long as I have a trace of my body with my will, I can be resurrected. My life is endless, and you can kill me. How many times will you die?”
The meat ball made a harsh and sharp cry, echoing in the corridor. Shugeyin looked at this "old enemy" with whom he had had many confrontations with a cold face.
Although he didn't think there was any friendship or affection between the two people at all, he still felt a little inexplicably irritated when he saw this guy who often dealt with the void turn into this disgusting appearance.
"Wait, no, my Lord, where have you been? Didn't you say that you would keep everything about me in your body? Why can't I feel you? Why, I can't see those things. Where did you go? No, no, no, I don’t want to die! Ahhhhhh!”
Suddenly, Odit, who was originally extremely arrogant and roared loudly, declaring that he would never be killed, began to scream in panic.
He didn't know why he couldn't sense the existence of the Lord who accommodated his consciousness and gave him infinite lives. No matter how he called, the existence that gave him a new life form in despair and allowed him to see the power of life itself disappeared.
The continuous strangulation from the Smoke Demon continued. He lost his soul and the great existence that accommodated his consciousness. After being killed by Shugen and Zig together, all the bodies were killed, leaving only the ball of flesh and blood in Shugen's hand. Odit's consciousness is dissipating.
Feeling his consciousness blurring little by little, the fear of death grew and spread in Odit's remaining mind, swallowing up everything he had left.
Although he will not die in a certain sense after becoming void, losing self-awareness is no different from death to any intelligent creature, and may even be worse than a conscious undead skeleton.
"It seems that your god doesn't care about you as much as you think. What a pitiful thing." The smoke demon's iconic mocking voice sounded inside the meat ball.
"No, no! I don't want to die, my Lord, save me, save me!" When only an empty shell of flesh and blood was destroyed, the remaining body could no longer support Odit's thoughts. .
His consciousness had collapsed, and all that was left were words that he kept repeating, and even he himself could no longer understand the meaning of these words.
"Poof!" The outermost layer of fleshy shell was also shattered by the smoke demon, and the lump of flesh and blood that Odit had transformed into was completely removed along with his will.
"Thank you for coming in time, otherwise I would have had to spend a long time with this guy." Putting the smoke demon back into his lantern, Xiugeyin turned to thank Sieg.
"It's my job. I came here as soon as I found out that I couldn't contact you. The vitality of this thing is indeed a bit weird. After adding the Void, its regeneration ability should have surpassed any other Void creature of the same class. Only You can "kill" him in disguise by erasing his will."
"We have been fighting against the void for so long, but our understanding of it is still extremely limited..." Xiugeyin shook his head, took out the communication crystal, and quickly started to check the large number of messages that he could not check because of the battle with Odit. .
"The god he mentioned should correspond to Elfin, the source of life. Not only was he not killed, but he seemed to have gained new strength. It seems that we underestimated how easily this body could be destroyed. The "god" has been obliterated."
"As for the void, our understanding of it is still limited, or the human race's understanding of the void is limited after all. Except for Roland, the great wizard who was closest to the essence of the void, later generations have not made much progress in the exploration of the void. But there are still many possibilities in the future, and one day we will understand.”
After observing the fragments of flesh and blood that Oedit left in the gap, Sieg speculated on the identity of the god whom Oedit called his master, and answered Shugein's views on the void.
"You should be able to see that day, but I'll forget it." Xiugeyin said casually. He didn't have a lifespan as long as a dragon. He frowned and quickly read a large amount of information left in the communication crystal. Information.
Sieg smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, because what Shugein said was the truth.
"..." Xiugeyin looked at the increasingly urgent and serious messages in silence. The riots among the winter wolves intensified, the flesh-and-blood network roots and creatures emerged in the city, the internal annihilation barrier appeared in the college, and the application for highly destructive equipment, etc. wait
The seriousness of the situation has exceeded his expectation. Although he realized something was wrong when Odit suddenly appeared in the gap and launched the attack, it was not until he saw what was mentioned in the message that he guessed that Sevin Tan used the "Silent Forest", a rare item that was more important than the general strategic level, in this incident, and then he understood what this incident would bring.
Frowning his brows, Xiugeyin continued to look down with a heavy heart. An unpleasant feeling surrounded him. While he was watching, he had already begun to run, and some remedial measures had to be taken.
Sieg had also seen the messages in the communication. The situation was much more serious than he thought. Without hesitation, the two of them passed through the gap and began to shuttle quickly. Although they might not be able to make it in time, they had to try.
"Huh?" Xiugeyin, who had started reading the message earlier, made a somewhat uncontrollable sound of doubt. Being mature and sophisticated, he couldn't help but widen his pupils. The content of the last message was indeed a bit unexpected, but this That's pretty good news.
"I didn't expect it. I still underestimated him." There was a smile in his tone that could not be wiped away, and he slowed down. It was obvious that he had also seen the news.
"Well, it was solved perfectly. Those careless guys at Stevenson School of Magic should be very grateful to him." Shugeyin also slowed down. He really didn't expect that such a huge incident would eventually be solved. Wang Yu solved it in this way.
"Definitely. Even if they don't give any reward, my professorship is not for nothing, but..." Satisfied with Wang Yu's great contribution, Siege planned to discuss it with the principal and give Wang Yu However, he was relatively delicate and quickly thought of some previous conversations with Wang Yu.
With Wang Yu's character, would he really like this?
…
"They are the magicians in the academy. Their bodies have been modified by some very small creatures. These transformations are very subtle. It is difficult for magicians who are not good at physical fitness to detect these hidden changes in the body. The detection in the academy The magic circle only targets magic, including void and even fighting spirit, and has almost no detection effect on these simple parasites."
Aviya sat next to Wang Yu and told him about the information collected by the Blade of Night staff from the academy magicians who had woken up.
Of course, Aviya contacted Ms. Night through the space that was no longer filled with the void energy of the high-ranking person. Under the cover of Ms. Night, she rushed back to Wang Yu from the academy.
After she discovered that Wang Yu was focused on by everyone, she also understood some of Wang Yu's intentions. He did not want to be on this stage, and he did not want her to be on this stage. Hiding Aviya's existence was actually a threat to her. A kind of protection for girls.
However, due to her age and experience, this mature girl who is often overlooked by others still sees less than Wang Yu.
"Well... all of us are restricted by extraordinary power. Some of what Erfen said is indeed correct. The extraordinary power we possess does make us change when facing these non-extraordinary existences. You have to be arrogant, and this is the price the academy pays."
Wang Yu nodded. It was a bit difficult for him to understand before. Although Stevenson Magic Academy is not a powerful large-scale organization like the army, the number of magicians inside and the coverage of the magic circle are very impressive. How could this be? It was easy to be surrounded by the inner annihilation barrier without any resistance.
After getting Aviya's explanation, he understood why. This layout was definitely a fatal move that was difficult to prevent against Stevenson Academy of Magic, which had some neglect of extraordinary powers.
The profession of magician can actually be regarded as a natural magic weapon or a magic circle. The magic whirlpool condensed in the soul is the core and source of magic power, and the body will also be affected little by little in the process. It plays a complementary role with the soul in the process of casting spells. Many spell-casting gestures and postures are based on this principle.
The flow of magic power in the body is possessed by almost every mage. Even if it is not the body that dominates, the flow of magic power through the body is basically unavoidable.
And what those tiny creatures created by Erfen that parasitize in the bodies of these mages do is change the structure of the mages' bodies, the natural "magic guides", by changing the muscles, blood vessels, and bones. The carvings left behind will not cause much harm, transforming them into walking "runes" one by one.
Changes occur subtly. At a certain point in time, the parasitized mages complete their transformation. All the parasites only need to complete the last inscription, and these "runes" will form a complete magic circle.
That is, the inner annihilation barrier, which is why no one had time to stop it when the inner annihilation barrier suddenly appeared. As runes, how could they prevent the formation of the magic circle? They didn't even have to worry about the source of magic power. The magic power within the magic circles of hundreds of mages is completely enough to charge the inner annihilation array.
The subsequent emergence of the strange object "Silent Forest" cut off the possibility of the autonomously operating magic circles in the academy having any effect.
Wang Yu shook his head. How can this be broken? There is no way to break it. This is the ultimate killer. The ultimate killer formed due to the information gap. If there are no variables, the ending of Stevenson Magic Academy falling into the void is basically doomed.
"The core of the void magic circle should come from the teacher..." Aviya's tone was a little low. She already had a certain premonition after being imprisoned in the teacher's library with Wendy.
And now, without the knowledge of all the mages, Weber Lanqi made such a move in advance, which can completely confirm that he is the mastermind of this incident.
Weber's goal should be to protect Aviya and his granddaughter Wendy, but in fact it is meaningless. If the entire academy is dragged into the void, Aviya and Wendy will not be spared.
"Don't take it too seriously. You didn't do anything wrong. This has nothing to do with you." Wang Yu patted the girl's shoulder and didn't say anything to excuse Weber. Maybe he and Aviya still have a friendship as teachers. , but this does not diminish any of his guilt.
Anyway, now Weber Lanqi is an out-and-out bastard in Wang Yu's heart. Wang Yu doesn't know who he wants to resurrect, and he doesn't know what his difficulties are.
But any reason is not the reason for him to use his own reasons to pass the disaster on to the people in the entire college. If he does it, he will pay the price. Anyway, Wang Yu estimates that this old thing will also turn into ashes together with Erfen's body.
"Well, it's just that Wendy will be very sad." Aviya shook her head. She is not an unreasonable person. The girl understands the teacher's mistake very well. He is just for this mother's old friend and her short-lived teacher. Passing away felt a little emotional, but more importantly, he was worried about the careless-looking Wendy.
"Tsk..." Wang Yu smacked his lips. Sure enough, the world is still so bad. Many things happen at a certain moment. Life and death are never so rare.
"Wang Yu!" The call from a distance made Wang Yu raise his head. When he saw the visitor, he waved his hand to show that he had heard it.
Edward ran from outside the academy, and the armor and sword on his body still had blood stains from assisting the Night's Edge action team in killing the flesh-and-blood beasts.
"How's it going? Are you okay?" Edward ran to Wang Yu's side and asked Wang Yu, who looked at the leather armor all over his body that was completely rotten but didn't see any wounds.
"It's okay, just a little weak." Wang Yu's condition is indeed okay. His injuries were forcibly cured by the huge amount of life force driving cells that poured in when Erfen's body was exploded at the end, but the sequelae were excessive. The recovery after the injury caused his organs to reach a certain limit and become weak, requiring some rest time.
"Well done, you are a hero." Edward hammered Wang Yu's chest with his fist with a smile. It could be seen that he was very happy for Wang Yu's absolutely huge contribution this time.
"It's not that I'm being modest, but actually I can only take half of the credit this time. If I say who the other half is..." Wang Yu is very serious. If he and Aviya take half of the credit this time, there will be another half. The individual has to occupy the other half.
Wang Yu felt that Edward should be able to understand when he took out the star tarot card that had been dug out of the ground outside Stevenson Magic Academy and had lost its function at this moment, and showed it to Edward.
"This?! So that's it. No wonder I said you suddenly disappeared. It turns out you entered through this thing, but how did you get this tarot card?" Edward immediately understood what Wang Yu meant after reading it. .
"It was picked up outside the college and buried under the ground no more than three meters away from us."
"This... is a little hard to understand. Could it be that the Ryder family's incredible ability allowed Charles to see something? But there has been no news from him for a long time. Otherwise, you can contact him and ask about the situation."
"Well, I will tell the professor and Captain Shuguein about Ciel's contribution. After all, that guy still likes rewards."
"Haha, that's right. That guy probably doesn't know where he is playing harp now."
"Hmm...huh?" Wang Yu was about to nod in response, but a trace of doubt appeared in his heart. The ripple he had always turned on captured some words that suddenly appeared on the communication crystal that belonged to him.
It did not come through a transmission. There was no trace of magic power but extremely small fluctuations in the void that were almost impossible to detect by any means. However, such small fluctuations could not escape the observation of the ripples.
Calmly, Wang Yu read the words that appeared on the crystal.
"Hello, Mr. Wang Yu, I didn't expect that you really succeeded in stopping this plan against Stevenson Academy of Magic. There is indeed a reason for Ciel's trust in you. You are the biggest variable."
"I have to admit that the game you cracked this time may have really broken someone's plan, but it is also possible that this is a part of a plan, and this failure is just a pavement for the next part. "
"I am also a friend of Ciel. I think it seems that I am not sincere and untrustworthy when I talk to you like this now, so we can meet through Ciel, and I should be able to gain your trust."
"Char is sleeping very hard in the family now. You can just go to him directly. I have only one request for contacting you this time. Please don't tell more people about the fact that Charles planted this tarot card. And, Don’t tell him personally.”
"The last thing I want to say is that Lady Night is really a generous god. She has really changed. Unlike Elfin and the God of War, she has really broken free of her chains. From an emotional point of view, I am the same as Ciel. I support you, but from a rational perspective, I still don’t think highly of you.”
The words ended here, and the writing on the communication crystal gradually disappeared.
"What the hell..." Wang Yu was a little confused. What was this? It was just a matter of meeting Charles. He was also curious about how Charles had anticipated this step and how he could communicate with him. What the hell again.
