Chapter 55: The Resurrection of Shanafar
This is a tunnel that is not much deeper than the ground, and we have walked for a long time since we parted from Sangoth, but we still haven't reached the end until we come to a strange hall. There are two doors, one of which opens to lead down a staircase, which we soon discover is actually a trap. There was a secret door in the small door next to the road, and through the secret door we came to what appeared to be an old warehouse house.
"What's that?" Lena noticed that something seemed to be moving in the corner.
"Who? Disturbing my Lady Diber's sleep? "An old rooster came out, and he could still talk.
Misaka and Hideyoshi said that this harmless-looking old rooster is actually a demon, but it is so harmless because it is sealed by Raizo's contract, and if it gets the sealing mask, it will immediately become a terrifying killer.
"Who's this old rooster?" Gao Li wondered why there was an old rooster here.
"Old rooster? You grabbed the demon Lord Dibo and said it was a chicken!! Diber was very upset, but it was sealed as an old rooster, and any farmer could turn it into a roast chicken.
"Old rooster!"
“Chicken!”
"It's an old rooster from any angle!"
"Pretty Mr. Old!"
"The demon rooster is like this!"
"A rooster!" The same goes for the Eureka brand.
No one believes that an old rooster is a demon, even Misaka and Hideyoshi, who know the truth about the Tao, are also laughing at it. Diber poured! The dignified demon clan has fallen to this point, and it has really lost the face of the demon clan.
Lena begins to interrogate the identity of the old rooster, but Diber, who feels insulted, refuses to cooperate.
"If you don't say it... I'll turn you into a roast chicken and eat it in three or two! Lena said that she was hungry, although the old rooster was a bit curious, but when cooked, it should be a good roast chicken.
Under the threat of Lena's roast chicken, Diber finally reveals that he is the manager of the laboratory who assists Raizang's research, and agrees to take us directly to the bottom. It turns out that the real shortcut is the teleportation array in the center of the strange hall just now, which cannot be used without special permission.
After teleporting through a portal that requires powerful magic, we arrived at the lowest level of the laboratory, but Diber didn't know the details of the research of the Dao Thunder Treasure, so we had to find it ourselves. However, in order to prevent this guy from finding the sealing mask and turning it against us, Misaka is going to put some safety on this rooster.
"Mr. Diber, thank you for bringing Misaka here. But for your safety next, Misaka has something to talk about first. That's - in the name of Sabranier, surrender to Misaka, Diber of the demons..."The reverse pentagram on behalf of the demon contract shrouded Diber in it, which Misaka obtained from Raizang's library, and drove the spell of the lower demon through the real name of the high-level demon, after Yuki modified it, with Sabranier's real name, he turned Diber into Misaka's servant, according to the perfect logical charter drawn up by Yuki, it can only obey Misaka's orders, and there can be no trace of disobedience and misinterpretation of negative sabotage, let alone hurting us, which is slander in the heart, also subject to penalties.
"Diber is just a harmless old rooster, why do you want to treat me like this!" Bound by the contract, Diber yells and begs for mercy while saying that he is harmless, hoping to let us go by pretending to be pitiful. Although Diber has been shouting that he is a demon before, his harmless rooster appearance has not taken everyone to heart, it is just a middle two old rooster, how can there be such a waste of demons. Everyone was surprised to see that Misaka suddenly used the dangerous demon contract.
"Kotomi, why are you doing this? The spell to control the demons is very dangerous, where did you learn it? "Lena doesn't understand what Misaka is doing, and most of the humans who try to control the demons are more than cups.
"The spell was found in the library just now, don't worry about the contract, it's absolutely fine. Misaka did this to prevent this guy from making trouble, you don't think this guy is really a harmless old rooster? Misaka explained the origin of the spell and what the contract used to bind the old. At this time, everyone noticed that Diber was really contracted, but the premise of this contract is the demon clan, is this old rooster that looks too old as a roast chicken really a demon clan?
Under Misaka's order, Dibo had to tell the truth, it turned out that the reason why Diber looked like an old rooster was because Raizo just needed its knowledge, and the magic was sealed by Raizang and stored in the research room. As the secret research room of Raizang's last secret, Diber can't come in by himself, unless it brings someone here, which is also a mutiny prevention measure stipulated in Raizang's contract, but Raizang is a hundred secrets, I didn't expect it to bring outsiders to the research room, Dibo took advantage of the loophole of the contract to enter the research room, if it finds the contract mask that summoned it at the beginning, then it will change back to the real demon form.
Hearing this, everyone was afraid for a while, the demons were the most annoying, and it was very difficult to deal with, but fortunately they were restrained by Misaka. Especially after seeing Diber, who wears a mask and turns back into his prototype, he has completely changed from an old rooster to a giant eagle. If we let this cunning old rooster steal the mask, although we are not afraid of it in battle, it will take a lot of effort, and what we lack now is time.
Diber, who retrieved the magic power, also tried to forcibly reverse the contract with the strong spiritual power of the demons, but Misaka had long known that this guy was not willing to obey in his heart, but he was forced to obey orders under the suppression of the contract, how could he not be prepared, and as a result, Diber was almost wiped out by the backlash of the contract.
Joke, Misaka dares you to take back the strength of the demon is not afraid of rebellion, yes, except for the powerful existence of the demon king in his own soul like Raizang, the human spiritual power is generally inferior to the demon, if the gap between the two sides is too large, then the contract that binds the demon may in turn bind the human race, but Misaka's soul has been conditioned by the golden demon king, not to mention the existence of Yuxi, if you want to resist Misaka after signing such a strict contract, at least you have to be at the level of Geralt to refuse Misaka's order to a limited extent, If you want to control Misaka in turn, even the Demon King Shabraniel can't do it.
Diber, who was covered in smoke and almost turned into a roast chicken by the contract, was dragged to the door by Takasato, and Misaka ordered it to stay there, and if "Raizo" and them came, they could resist somewhat.
With the watchdogs, everyone finally began to search with confidence, but what exactly does the sealed legacy look like? Both Misaka and Hideyoshi looked at the various stone slabs embedded in the walls of the room—slabs suspected to be from the Apocalypse of the Atlas.
While Misaka rummaged through the others for things that might be useful, he asked Yuki to scan them, especially the knowledge on the tablets of the Apocalypse from the Atlas. If you see something precious during the rummaging process, it will be included in the space pack. Misaka was surprised by the news that Yuki scanned and fed back, those stone tablets recorded a lot of magical knowledge, and the stone tablets were not manuscripts, they were originals.
That is to say, these stone tablets are likely to be products of the other world, or they were directly written by the magicians who obtained the knowledge of the other world, which is equivalent to the original text of the magic guide book of the magic ban, but it is not an item with no mystery except for the diluted knowledge like a manuscript, and the stone tablets themselves have a strong power.
[Hideyoshi, do you see the stone slabs on the wall in the middle? The stone slab on that wall is the Atlas of Revelation, and it is the original text of the Magic Book, not a transcript. Hurry up and inform Hideyoshi that it's been found.
[Kotomi, do you really want to give this to 'Raizo'? Although Shanafa has weaknesses, it is not so easy to eliminate. I see a lot of Olihakon here, so it's better for you to strengthen it and see if it can be used as a cannonball. Hideyoshi still doesn't want Sanafa to be resurrected, although he is a plot party, but the power of the yang electron cannon is there, and the amount of power on the surface is more reliable than the plot after all.
[Let's talk about this question again.] Olihakang helped Misaka collect it first, and if he didn't become Misaka, he wouldn't be hypocritical. As for this slate, let's take a look at what it says first. How to deal with "Lei Zang" in the end, let's talk about it later, let's take a look at what is written on the slate first.
[Can you read the above?] Hideyoshi, who couldn't understand the slate at all, was very surprised.
[Don't underestimate others. Analyzing magic knowledge is no worse than a foodie nun, so wait for the lecture. (Hideyoshi: Your appetite is no worse than others)
"Lena, those slabs are unusual." Misaka picked up a stone tablet from the wall and handed it to Lena, and the stone tablet immediately emitted an eerie purple light as it left the wall, releasing powerful magic.
"This rotten slate is Raizang's legacy? Didn't you say that a monster was locked up? Where is the cage? "Gao Li can't match the slate with the demonic beast, in his opinion, if Misaka said that the seal here is a demonic beast, it should be a big cage, how can it be a slate.
"It seems that this is indeed Raizo's legacy. I felt a powerful magic from above," Lena felt the magic of the slate and continued, "It's not about the shape or anything, it's the words on it. ”
"It's not all. This is the original copy of the Apocalypse of the Atlas, and the slate itself is a powerful magician, and what is recorded on it is... The materials for the creation and ritual steps of Shanafar, but there are many other things, all of which are very advanced magical knowledge. Misaka reads to everyone...... "Next to Lena, Misaka began to interpret the contents of the stone slab, except for Takasato, everyone was a magician, and when they heard Misaka begin to interpret the knowledge of magic, they all quieted down and listened quietly, confirming with their own research. This is the "Apocalypse of the Other World", the deepest magic book in the legend of the Xiu Teasing World, although Misaka only picks up the less evil and safer parts to read, it is enough for everyone to use for a lifetime, especially Jero, who desperately wants to be able to obtain the magic of restoring his body from the knowledge of the tablet.
Just as Misaka was teaching magic, Diber, who was a janitor, and Alice, who was belated, met.
"Raizo! Aren't you dead? No... No, you're not Raizang, who are you? This is now Misaka-sama's territory, and with Diber here, I won't let you pass. Seeing the "Lei Zang", Dibo was very frightened, if it wasn't bound by the contract, it would have fled as far as it could, as a demon, it could deeply feel the terrifying strength of the other party, and against such an enemy, it would be dead.
"You're the administrator summoned by Master Leizang? actually became the dog of Lina and her gang. No, I was wrong, it's the pet chicken, it's really a shame for the demons. "Alice, as Lei Zang's most important assistant, of course heard of the existence of this old rooster, but he didn't expect to be subdued by the other party.
"Don't... Don't think that Lord Diber will be afraid of you, hurry up and go away, this is Misaka-sama's territory. "Although Diber wanted to escape, he was bound by the contract and had to hold on to it here.
"Don't get in our way. "Raizo casually threw out a wave of blue devil bullets, and Diber was knocked away like a pheasant with a shotgun, and it was so frightened that it fled towards the research room.
Misaka was lecturing when suddenly, a ray of light flew in front of him and turned into a rooster ring on Misaka's finger.
"Master, there are enemies coming, I can't beat them, please don't punish me." Diber was silent after speaking, and the seriously injured it quickly went into hibernation, as for whether Misaka can win, he can only pray to the demon king Shabraniel, if Misaka is killed, it will also be buried.
Seeing this scene, Lena was stunned, and the stone slab in her hand flew out of the coffin and was taken by Alice.
Alice, who got the inheritance, didn't talk too much nonsense like the common villain boss, but just hastily explained that she was avenging Raizo and the reason for revenge, and then flew up, she wanted to completely liberate the sealed monster Shanafa here, and use this most powerful weapon to perfect Raizang's replica and avenge Raizang who was killed by us. Hey, even if you fool really want revenge, you have to go to the Demon King Shabraniel, okay, why can't you get along with us.
"Lena Imbas, come to your senses!" Alice, laughing maniacally, began the ceremony.
"Stop her, everyone! Shanafa can't be resurrected! Lena flew towards the Gloria first, followed by Mayfair and Gouri.
Bite!
The thunder light battle axe blocked the staff of "Raizo" to intercept Lina, and Jero also killed it, and the two of us fought Raizawa, although Misaka did summon Shanafa, and then use the Sword of Blessing and Fula Mushroom to deal with him, but it must not be easy for him to get, Hideyoshi was afraid that Misaka would not contribute, and also called Eureka to join the battle group.
The pressure is so great, is this the fourth-order high combat power? Although the four of us dealt with one of the "Thunder Hides", it was us who were at the disadvantage.
"We once defeated the real Raizo, how could we lose to you, a replicant!" Jero shouted as he fought, his hatred for Raizo making him a little delirious.
"If you really think so, I advise you to re-evaluate, I don't think anyone has a rule, replicants can't beat real people!" "Raizo" is still so laid-back, every blow of the staff carries a huge amount of magic power, only Eureka and Jero can directly take it, and Misaka and Hideyoshi can only dodge.
Suddenly, "Raizo" gave up the fight with us and flew up.
"What's going on?" Just when everyone was confused, there was a confusion on the side, and it turned out that Gorry was controlled by Alice's magic and fought with Lena. Really, at such an important moment in battle, what kind of trouble are you two people making!
Jerlu used Mayfield's super mini flame arrow to crack Gaoli's control, Gaoli who had just woken up was confused, but Lina, who had been chased and killed by Lena for a long time, was not confused, although it was not Gaoli's fault that the chase was killed, but Lena still repaired Gaoli fiercely.
While we were making a fuss here, countless lines of magic suddenly lit up, and surging magical energy surged from Alice's ritual to all directions. After everyone took off to avoid danger, the items on the ground had been completely swept away by the magical energy, and a huge summoning magic array appeared in front of everyone.
"The entire research facility is a super magic array?"
The magic array began to operate, and the huge energy broke through the top of the research room and soared into the sky, and the demonic beast Sanafa was resurrected.
Alice, who thinks that the revenge is about to be avenged, laughs maniacally, and she seems to have seen the scene of Lina and her gang, who had hurt Raizo, begging at the feet of "Raizang", and then being killed. However, a magic bullet shot from behind put an end to everything, and "Raizo" defected after gaining the power of Shanafar.
"You all miscalculated in this matter, and I am the only one who will get the Lei Zang inheritance in the end!" Raizo's headband was disconnected, revealing the control crystal that every replicant had on his forehead.
Slowly, the crystal actually left the "Raizang" and flew into his hands.
"How is that possible?" Lena and Jalu were both surprised, they had never heard of the replicant mutiny, who knew a little about the replicant technique.
"Because he's a copy of Raizo. Harnessing such a powerful replica is beyond the limits of the original replicant's control technique, so Alice cupes. "Misaka knows what's going on, especially in the library and the research room just now, Yuki found a large number of biochemical magic technology, and soon Misaka learned the real reason for the rebellion of "Raizang" according to these materials and plots, the clone is too strong, how can such a powerful guy be willing to be a tool, and the existing control device is just to control ordinary people, it is useless for the super strong of the fourth order.
"Alice, I'll avenge Raizang's revenge for you, but that's my own will." Raizo shattered the Control Crystal.
Now, Misaka's journey to the end of the show has entered the climax of the worst of the game, the silver monster Sanafa is about to be resurrected, and the battle between us and the "Raizo" is about to begin.
