Chapter 12: A Bigger Bomb
At the same time, Misawa Juku, sewer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Kamijo Dangma slowly placed his right hand on the wall.
The red light suddenly dimmed from the position where Uejo Danma's right hand reached a range of 3 meters, but it still shimmered red in the nicks farther away.
"Damn!" Shang Dangma thumped the fangs sticking out of the snake's head hard.
"That's useless." A voice said slowly, "This Ouroboros is the foundation of alchemy, representing self-circulation and regeneration, and does not have a core in the strict sense of the word. ”
Kamijo looked up suddenly, and a magician named Oreos was standing in the water behind him, watching him quietly.
On the neck where the red light shines, there are no red marks like mosquito bites.
"Fake...... Is it? Kamijo muttered to himself.
"What about the real thing, what about the fake?" Pseudo-Oreos frowned, "But I have to warn you, you don't have time to be here anymore. ”
As if to prove the correctness of the pseudo-Oreos, in the sewers illuminated by red light, some kind of 'change' took place.
A pungent smell gradually permeated the sewers, dark yellow steam slowly rose, the stream under their feet slowly became solidified, the originally clear water became heavy and opaque, like silver-white magma, reflecting the strange light in the passage, and the temperature of the air began to rise abnormally.
Uejo covered his nose with hemp.
As a student of Gakuen City, Kamijo Danma has undergone a lot of knowledge of pharmacology and chemistry, and in an instant he understands what these are.
"This pungent smell is...... Sulfur dioxide! And mercury! ”
"Yes, because your actions have triggered the autonomous defense spell here, the heat, sulfur, and mercury vapor will soon turn this place into a hell where no living thing can live." Pseudo-Oreos looked down at his watch, "Your body is just the quality of an ordinary person, you can last about five minutes, and after five minutes you will die of mercury poisoning." ”
"Then why are you still standing here leisurely?" Uejo Danma struggled to hold his breath.
"It's just a phantom of me here." Pseudo-Oreos tilted his head, as if thinking of something interesting, and pulled a twisted arc at the corner of his mouth, "Well, let's play a game." ”
"Games?" The upper article is numb.
"Behind me, there is a 'key' that can interrupt this cycle, and you can use this key to interrupt this technique, so that the Golden Great Yan Technique cannot continue." Pseudo-Oreos said.
On the strip when numbness breathing stagnant.
"But it's possible that I'm lying to you. You can choose to move on and find the key that might exist, but if the key doesn't exist, you'll die here, and the forbidden book catalogue and the weird girl are mine. Oreos continued in a flat voice, "But if the key exists, you'll probably die, too, but the two of them might be saved." Of course, you still have the option of turning around and leaving, and it's still too late. ”
His voice and figure slowly dissipated into the air at the same time, "Then, choose." Whatever your answer is......"
It's a game, like Oreos said, a game where the life of the strip is at stake.
Unless you run away like a coward, Kamijo will pay with his life regardless of whether the game is successful or not.
However, there was no hesitation in Uejo Dangma's heart.
Do you want to give your life for that girl?
Although the process of verification has been forgotten, the answer has long been engraved in my heart.
"Bastard, do you still need to think about that answer!" Kamijo muttered, "Of course—"
He struggled to get off to a rocky start in mercury.
"Down with you, save them!"
……
Run as hard as you can.
Sweat poured down like raindrops, but it was as cold as if soaked in ice water.
Kamijo's consciousness became groggy, and the tingling pain in his airways and throat made him almost feel like his lungs had been burned.
He struggled to swing his feet in the mercury, running as hard as he could.
The world in front of me was blurring, shaking like a TV with a bad signal.
Although Kamijo felt like he was running, from the perspective of an onlooker, he was just struggling to stumble through the river of mercury that had already reached his calf.
One step, one step at a time.
The last trace of clarity sustained him from fainting.
We haven't reached the finish line yet.
The 'key' hasn't been found yet.
In his blurred vision, it was as if he could see something floating in the air behind the steam of sulfur.
It seemed to be a transparent bubble, and inside was a beautiful, beautiful thing, something made up of brilliant red, pure white, and noble gold.
That's ...... Keys?
Consciousness is no longer able to make rational judgments.
Uejo Danma awkwardly stretched out his hand-
With a soft 'pop', something suspended in the air burst like a bubble.
Behind the steam like a thick mist, a red shadow flickered in front of him.
The red figure seemed to be saying something to him, but what came into the ears of Shang Dangma was an unknown noise.
He slowly closed his eyes and sank into the stream of mercury.
A slender arm held him, and the other ......
Slowly drew a two-meter-long Japanese sword.
A demon knife called 'Heart Crossing'.
The owner of the hand held the long knife in one hand and held it high above the top.
Subsequently -
A roar like thunder rang out.
In the atrium of Misawa Juku, the originally flat ground bulged into a mound more than ten meters high in an instant, like a giant spirit originally bound in the ground stretched his hands and feet, struggling to tear apart his prison. The incomparable force tore the surface of the earth, and in the wounds of the earth, red light accompanied by brownish and yellow gas erupted like a volcanic eruption!
It was indeed a scar on the earth, and the alchemy circle that had been damaged under Misawa Juku was still drawing the power of the leylines, and the huge magic power was circulating in the alchemy circle, and it burst out from the gap that was broken, forming a flow of magic that was visible to the naked eye, and it was bound by the enchantment formed by the Great Evolution Technique, accumulating in this small space.
Anyone with some knowledge of magic will know what the consequences of this concentration of magic can be caused if it is induced.
Misawa Juku...... It's turned into a bomb big enough to raze the Seventh School District!
In some dark corner, someone let out a creepy chuckle.
ps: The style of painting has changed (covering your face). Anyway, I tried my best......
