Surrounded by a large area of flame monsters, even though there was a cold snap constantly resisting it, Maca could still feel the heat wave outside one after another.

Yes, he has a cooldown rule, but what about Helbo's flames.

However, Maca's expression was still calm.

Protected by the ultra-low temperature, he tried his best to keep the flames out. At the same time, his heart was still silently waiting.

“…… Don't struggle anymore...... Feel the mystery of death for yourself! ”

At that moment, Maca caught a glimpse of Helbo's figure through the gap between the flame creatures, and also saw the miserable green magic glow that suddenly lit up from the other person's palm.

You can't go wrong, it must be the color of the requisitioning spell, the smile that comes from death.

In normal times, the straightforward modern spell of the Calling Spell would definitely not touch Maca in the slightest, just like Helbo just now.

But now, surrounded by the impenetrable flames, he had to continue to maintain the rules of high-intensity cooling, and he obviously had no strength to guard against the death light that he didn't know from which angle it would come from.

At this moment, it is ironic that a life-seeking spell cast by Maca herself is about to become the last thing to take his life.

But in the next second, at the moment when the green light was about to emerge from Helbo's palm, there was a smile on Maca's face that seemed to sigh.

Because it turns out that sometimes, a twist can seem unexpected.

"Abra-cadabra" (1)!"

This word, which sounded similarly to the Avada-Kedavra mantra, was clearly spat out of Maka's mouth. And almost at the same time, the green light in Helbo's hand suddenly ......

Exploded!

In an instant, the fire creatures around Maca stopped moving, and Helbo was immediately completely overwhelmed by a bright green light.

At this moment, the white of the ice crystals and the cold current, the red of the raging flames, and the green of the bursting spell of the requisitioning spell, all the colors were extremely vivid. It seems that at this moment, this world only needs these three colors to fill the reality completely, and all other colors become superfluous.

When the green particles of light dissipated in an instant, Helbo was already lying on the cold ground.

"Year...... Light man ......"

Maca knew that because the old guy had tried to fend off with some kind of soul magic at the last minute, he didn't die on the spot. But his body obviously can't last too long.

The Reel Curse is terrifying, and Maca has never underestimated this modern spell. Perhaps it was too useful in the face of ancient magic, but as mentioned before, the broken rules of death are still the spokesmen of death.

Magic with an instantaneous death effect was unheard of in ancient times, and it was no wonder that even Helbo could not suppress the excitement in his heart just now.

"Why ......"

As he lay on his back, Helbo turned his head sideways, and could see that half of his cheeks had been eroded by the rules of death, and one of his eyes had become completely blind.

"Why are you in control of it, I ...... But they can't ......."

His expression was unusually calm, but in that calm there was an endless amount of longing.

He thought that he, who had deliberately avoided death for nearly two thousand years, would finally have the opportunity to touch the taboo with his own hands. If he succeeds, he will no longer have to rely on Horcruxes to survive, and will be able to truly hold the rules of death in his hands.

"Young people...... You...... What exactly did you do......"

Just as Helbo was intermittently questioning, Maca waved the staff in her right hand at will. Suddenly, a cold current mixed with ice crystals rose again, clearing the way in the still-frozen flames in front of him.

And then, with the smile still on his face, he walked over to Helbo step by step.

"Your Excellency Helmault, that's a good question," Maka nodded, "and the answer is simple—"

Before the words fell, Maca, who had just reached the middle of the walk, suddenly slammed his staff, and a pure white beam of rule power went straight to Helbo's location in an instant, depriving him of all the remaining vitality.

"But I won't tell you."

Immediately, a phantom suddenly rose from Helpo's completely white shell, and Maca subconsciously raised her staff, but quickly lowered it again.

This time, Maca did not have the extra strength to pick and choose other options.

Just putting Helbo to death cost him a lot of effort, and he even took a more or less risk. And now, he had to watch the other party's remnant soul leave quickly.

Because he understands that with his own control over the rules of the soul, it is really more than enough to keep that remnant soul.

"What a terrible day......"

Maca watched the fragment of her soul quickly fade away, until she couldn't perceive it at all, and then she turned and looked around a few times.

The death of Helbo's physical body meant that the magic in his body was completely out of the control of the spirit, so those flame creatures that seemed to have frozen also dissipated.

At this moment, there is only a mountain forest covered in ice and snow, and it is difficult to find a bit of greenery.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Sarah......" Maca thought for a moment and chuckled again, "If it weren't for her, I might have had to go first today." ”

In fact, from the moment Maca cast the Curse, everything that followed was a mixture of truth and falsehood.

In Helbo's teachings, he understood the differences between ancient magic and modern spells, as well as the importance of certain spells.

Taking advantage of the ancient wizard's thirst for certain arcane rules, he was tantamount to teaching the Curse directly to Helbo...... No, to be precise, he taught part of the Requisition Spell to the other party.

Almost all modern wizards know that casting a spell is made up of three parts: incantation, staff swinging, and volitional imagination, and even with silent spell techniques, the proper "chanting" step is not omitted.

However, in front of Helbo, Maca did not chant a specific incantation once, and the life-seeking spell was naturally included in it.

Therefore, Helbo, who only knew part of the principle through magic sense, did not know the importance of spells to help adjust the sequence of damaged rules.

He wanted to directly cast the Death Seeking Spell based on only a part of the principle, and the difficulty was obviously extremely high.

Because of this, according to the "despicable" character that Helbo had previously exposed, Maca set this trap.

For this reason, he also deliberately left enough time for the other party to decipher the magic fluctuations of the requisition spell, so as to effectively increase the possibility that the other party will try to use it.

However, at the last moment, Maca found that she still underestimated the abilities of Helbo, an ancient dark wizard.

He thought that Helbo would be unable to control the Death Curse and cause the death rules to get out of control, but the other party really almost succeeded.

Therefore, Maca couldn't help but want to thank Sarah.

At that time, when he realized that something was wrong, he suddenly recalled the scene where Sarah dealt with the bald old man.

Since Sarah was able to use the means of spiritual refining to interfere with the opponent's alchemy formation, why couldn't he use the same form to interfere with Helbo's life-seeking spell?

What's more, what he has to do is much easier than Sarah, isn't it?

"Whew-"

After gathering her thoughts for a moment, Maca turned around and continued in the direction of Helbo's corpse.

This time, he was caught off guard by Helmo, and even cut off the other party mercilessly in the last time. But the old man's reappearance of the world has still become a fact that cannot be ignored.

Anyway, he still has some work to do before then.

Just behind Helbo's body, the ancient mirror still stood in the snow. Once again, it is out of the control of others, and it has a tendency to exert its power again.

Maca, on the other hand, had to reseal it and find a way to hide it somewhere Helbo couldn't reach.

"That's a big problem."

He swung his staff and drew soul runes with magic threads to frame the seal, while secretly pondering.

"I don't know how the hell that old guy summoned this thing to his side......"

……

Just as the situation on Maca's side was nearing its end, Luna seemed to be nearing the end of her conversation with the Bronze Kitty on the Hogwarts side.

"Little girl, I don't know how you got in, but if you can't prove yourself with a token, I'll have to send you out-"

The "token" in the mouth of the bronze eaglet is obviously not an Irish female ghost. But what it is, Luna naturally has no way of knowing.

Of course, maybe she didn't really want to know.

"Little one, is Rowena Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets just a study?" Luna didn't care what Kitty was saying, but happily diverted the subject and asked to herself, "What books are here?" ”

"There are so many books here, all of them are treasured by Rowena...... Ah! Why am I telling you all this, don't you understand? You've got to get out-"

"Is there a book on the principles of magic?" Luna blinked and said leisurely, "If there were, I think Maca would need them......"

"Of course there is—" Kitty said as she leaped over Luna's head and stood firmly on it, "Alright, alright!" Let's go, it's time for us to get out! ”

As soon as she said this, Luna felt a sudden flash in front of her eyes, and immediately after her, she found herself back in front of the door of the Ravenclaw common room.

"Besides, Maka boy has come to see it many times—"

After leaving the secret room, the bronze eaglet added so casually, but then ......

"Huh?"
