49, sacrifice

As soon as the old lake demon finished speaking, Hoffa clasped his hands together.

The surrounding snow exploded. A pair of huge stone hands rushed out of the snow like lightning and grabbed the old lake demon led by him.

He knew that things would not be good, so he simply took the lead.

The old lake demon didn't panic at all, the corner of his mouth sneered, and he beat his staff.

An invisible ripple spread rapidly, and before the stone hands could touch him, they all turned into powder, and then from powder to stone needles.

Its staff is pointed at Hoffa.

All the stone needles flew back upside down.

Hoffa was shocked, and this was the first time that the Shattered Grip had been completely cracked. The spiritual power of this old lake demon is so terrifying!

Osivia's expression changed, and she propped up her shield with one hand and tried to grab Hoffa with the other. But he caught a void, and Hoffa's whole person disappeared directly into the air.

"Be careful!"

She immediately shouted.

As soon as the words fell.

Click.

A flash of silver light flashed.

The old lake demon with a wand was directly cut in half by a silver sword. The needles lost control and all fell to the ground.

Huo Fa showed his figure, his chest rose and fell violently, and the lake demon that was broken in half directly turned into liquid and collapsed to the ground.

Osvia's eyes widened in the distance, it was all happening too fast.

The voices on the island were gone, and the sturdy lake demons around them looked at each other, as if they weren't quite sure what was going on.

The silver knife turned back into his wand, and Hoffa glanced at the liquid on the ground and prepared to walk back. But as soon as he moved, he felt that the soles of his feet were sticky, as if they were fixed by super glue.

"I appreciate your Transfiguration, boy. ”

The voice came from the ground, "Appreciate your speed more." ”

Hoffa's face changed.

Oops, I didn't notice any traces of the copied spell, why did I cut it wrong?

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't move at all.

His feet had been frozen to death by two pieces of ice, and the liquid on the ground was rapidly frozen, and the ice was still spreading all over his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A rickety figure walked out of the group of sturdy lake demons again, and it looked at Hoffa: "It's a pity, you were born in the wrong era, if you were born hundreds of years earlier, you might have been well educated." Modern wizards have become more and more reliant on wands. ”

Hoffa tried to move, but a chill rushed from his thighs to his head. It corroded his spirit and magic.

The lake demon flicked its webbed fingers slightly.

Three vines burst out of the ground with lightning speed, Hoffa's wand arm was firmly tied, and three extremely strong male lake monsters pulled the vines tightly.

The surging force was completely irresistible, and Hoffa's left arm was immediately dislocated, and his wand fell to the ground.

Ossivia decisively rushed towards Hoffa, and the other lake demons drew their weapons and rushed towards Osivia.

There was no time to cry out for misery, Huo Fa directly entered the activated state, and when the arc flashed, his body was forced to rise to 1.7 meters.

He grabbed the vine and let out a roar, and the arc of electricity followed the damp vine, causing the three lake demons to go numb and release their flipper palms.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hoffa pulled through the vines, and a lake demon was caught off guard and dragged directly over, and it pulled out a steel fork from its waist in the air and stabbed it at Hoffa's eyes.

Hoffa was short and dodged the steel fork.

Then the right fist smashed into the chest of the lake demon.

The punch was extremely powerful.

Hoffa's right fist sank into a muscle, and the lake demon's spine clicked and raised an unnatural arc, and his entire body flew out upside down, smashing into the old lake demon.

"Interesting!"

On the snow, the fingers of the old lake demon with a stick danced lightly, and the sturdy lake demon that flew upside down directly changed direction. It slammed into a tree, and snow fell.

Hoffa untied the vine and reloaded his dislocated left hand with a click.

But under his feet, the strange ice still restrained him, making his entire lower body unable to move, even with such a huge power as the activated state, he still couldn't break the ice.

He tried to use the ghost walk to get rid of the ice that had imprisoned him, but the ice was so strange that even if he used the ghost walk, he couldn't break free on the ground.

Hoffa looked at the old lake demon and shouted angrily, "What did you do to me?"

"Young man, you have to learn so much. It said hoarsely, "If you still have a chance." ”

After saying that, it took a deep breath, and its chest bulged high like a toad.

Then, it opened its mouth, which opened in an exaggerated arc. A stream of hot oil erupted, turning into a raging fire in mid-air and rolling towards Hoffa.

The snow on the ground was quickly evaporated, and the surrounding water vapor was billowing in.

The cold sweat in Hoffa's head evaporated, and he didn't know whether he was facing a lake demon or a dragon.

Without a wand, Hoffa hurriedly stretched out his hand and roared, "Tariko-Skitta!"

A vague shield swirled and opened from his palm.

At this moment, several images flashed rapidly before Hoffa's eyes.

Fast moving train, a teenager in a wheelchair.

There was a crackling sound, and the unformed shield burst into the air, flames scorching Hoffa's eyebrows.

At the critical moment, Hoffa still did not use the shield charm. He yelled, "Damn!"

At the critical moment, a black figure appeared in front of him like lightning, spread its five fingers, and propped up a shield to block the flames.

It's Osivia.

She stopped the flames with one hand, turned her head and threw Hofa's wand at him, and scolded angrily, "You can't do anything other than transformation, don't you?"

Hoffa: "How do I know what's going on!?"

In the thick fog in the distance, shouts shook the sky. One after another, the lake demons rushed to the isolated island in the middle of the lake from the gap in the frozen lake, and things were completely beyond common sense.

"What about this thing?"

Hoffa asked, pointing to the ice that was climbing higher and higher on his body.

"It's a voodoo curse, it's to draw on your own magic to strengthen yourself, don't fight it. Ossivia shouted, and with a spell blasted the two lake demons away.

Hoffa understood.

It's a curse, no wonder the ghost can't escape!

He didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately lifted the activation state, opened the transformation technique of Gugar, and transformed most of the magic power into life.

Suddenly, the ice cubes that had lost their source of mana no longer grew upward, and as the mana was drained, they gradually faded and became brittle.

Click!

Hoffa immediately broke free of the ice and took Ossivia's arm and ran in the direction of the church.

"This way. ”

Ossivia flicked his shield, and as the shield flew, it turned into a huge rotating chain of fire, bound towards the old lake demon.

The lake demon has a horizontal staff. The pieces of space in front of him folded into a shining wall of mirrors, and the chains hit the lenses, turning into countless flying iron stars. Instantly illuminate the island, and the surrounding area is fiery red.

Ossivia temporarily pushed back the lake demon and followed behind Hoffa.

The two climbed up the hill and returned to the ancient headmaster's cemetery, where Hoffa squeezed sideways into the church, and when Ossivia entered, Hoffa grabbed the stone door of the church, which had long since fallen off.

Knock knock!!

Both of them pressed hard at the same time and closed the door of the church.

Ossivia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Hoffa stepped back, his hands crossed. Huge stone arms protruded from the ground, blocking the doors of the church in dense form.

Through the crack in the door, Hoffa could still see billowing flames and other eerie magical glows flickering outside.

A group of lake demons rushed from the snow into the cemetery quickly,

"The lake demon's magic is so strong?"

"That's their chief, the only priest in the tribe, as powerful as a top wizard. ”

"Why do these creatures kill students and teachers, aren't we at Hogwarts?"

"I don't know!

Annoyed, Ossivia walked briskly to the other side of the church, but the path was blocked by piles of rubble.

She looked at the gate behind her, which was frantically besieged, and said, "Hurry up, the gate won't last long, use your Transfiguration to get these stones away, and we'll go back to school from the other side." ”

"Hmm. ”

Hoffa clasped his palms together and prepared to cast the spell of the Shattered Grip.

However, at this time, an inexplicable question drifted into the brain.

Why should I do this?

If you don't, you'll die, fool!

Hoffa cursed himself in his heart.

However, another question drifted into my mind inexplicably.

Why should I live?

I.....

Hoffa let go of his hands and took two steps back, secretly saying badly.

Sequelae of the activated state.

If you don't come sooner or later, you won't come late......

Immediately after, a blank swept through his brain.

Hoffa sat on the floor, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Do it. ”

Ossivia anxiously urged.

"Hmm. ”

Hoffa sat slumped on the ground, his mouth half open, no joy or sorrow. There is no intention of doing anything.

Ossivia was going crazy, and seeing that the gate on the side was about to collapse, Hoffa actually had an expression of indifference.

She said angrily: "What the hell is going on with you, if you don't do anything, we'll all die!?"

Hofa, who was already mentally blank, muttered: "Life and death come and go, unkempt puppet. ”

This sentence is in Chinese, and Ossivia does not understand.

She stomped her foot angrily and ripped off her necklace.

Throwing it forward, the necklace turned into a swimming snake in the air, and the swimming snake divided into several, and they landed on the ground and turned into a metal snake carving, which stood up to the gate.

Outside the church, the old lake demon with a staff slammed his wand, roared, opened his mouth and spat out a fireball, which hit the door of the church like a cannonball.

The whole island was as bright as day, and the ground trembled.

The Gothic spire broke, and stone pillars fell from the sky and smashed into the ground.

Ossivia tugged at Hoffa's collar: "Don't rub it off, you can't hold it." ”

However, even with his back to the explosion and the frantically falling rubble, Hoffa's expression did not change. He sat slumped on the floor, and even an unfathomable smile appeared on his lips.

"When the line is broken, it falls down. ”

Ossivia turned around, furious, and slapped Hoffa in the face, "Bastard, what the hell are you thinking?"

Hoffa's head was tilted to the side, but his consciousness was still disconnected, and he said indifferently: "For our sinful race, there is nothing more noble than holding hands and walking with each other to die. ”

"Psycho!!" Osiva frantically.

Rumble!!

The entire stone church collapsed.

Piles of sharp towers fall from the sky.

"It's over......"

Ossivia looked up, and she threw her arms around Hoffa, a roll that dragged him out of range of the stone that had dragged him away.

However, tons of stones fell from the sky and shattered the ground.

A crater suddenly appeared at Osivia's feet, and she suddenly became unsteady on her feet, and she fell into the ground with Hoffa.

It took five or six rolls before she stopped, and the heavy dust made it impossible for her to see anything, and then she coughed violently.

After coughing, she reluctantly said, "Fluorescent flickering." ”

White light illuminates the surroundings.

Only then did she realize that she was trapped in a corridor, and a piece of ceiling was stuck in front of her, forming a triangular crack with less than a square meter of space.

And the boy was still lying on top of him at the moment, with a hollow expression of a high-ranking monk.

"Bastard ....."

She was slumped against the boulder, panting, her chest heaving violently.

She then tried to push her head away from her chest, only to find that she couldn't move at all, and that the space around her left arm was only for her left arm.

After struggling for a long time, finally, she let out a long sigh and gave up.

Outside the church, the old lake demon slowly closed his mouth with his mouth open and roared, and the surrounding darkness returned, and the only light was a bright moon in the sky and a large stone gate in front of the church that was about to be burned into magma.

Soon, a tall lake demon swam to the old lake demon.

"Tavo, what should I do?"

"Find their bodies and don't let any creatures leave the island. The cane-wielding lake demon said coldly.

"Don't make a mistake until the end of this school's rule. ”
