Chapter 896: Isn't it a "surprise"?
Maca has always been a dislike of under-planning projects.
Just as in this plan, while agreeing to distract Helmo from the fake news, he also added another preparation to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
In fact, it wasn't that long ago. When Maca came to Azkaban with a large number of stone slabs he had carved to lay and assemble them, he suddenly raised an uncertain factor for Ewen Ravenclaw at that time.
At that time, the two had already discussed their own efforts to spread disinformation, so it was natural for Maca to start imagining what kind of obstacles they might face when they carried out their plans.
And because when the "star picking" step really began, Maca and Old Ewen would not even inform the third person other than the two of them......
Therefore, it seems that the loopholes can only be found in themselves.
It was along this line of thought that Maca had always deduced that the elder Eun might actually be taken by Helmo, and there was even the possibility of "from the beginning, Ewen Ravenclaw would be Helpo himself".
I still remember that afternoon, in order to dispel Maca's doubts first, Old Eun also allowed Maca to check his soul.
After that, Maca set up a soul rule rune in advance for old Eun, who might have problems due to bloodline transformation—in doing so, at least it would allow the other party to have a certain amount of room to resist in case he was forcibly robbed of his body by Helbo.
It can be seen that Maca not only imagined many possibilities, but also tried her best to prepare in advance.
But the only pity is that the "safety lock" he set for Old Eun is still not enough for Helbo's high degree of mastery of the rules of the soul.
Perhaps with this rudimentary Soul Rule Rune, Maca herself was able to make it impossible for Helbo to snatch his body directly.
But as far as the body of old Eun has already been deeply modified, Helbo, who is proficient in biological modification, can find many "loopholes" that can be directly exploited.
So, when Helbo suppressed the somewhat "restless" old Eun again very quickly, Maca knew that he was indeed a poor move in fundamental strength this time.
“…… 'Not sufficient' prepared...... Is it? Maca looked at the muscular man who was forced away by the ultra-low temperature, and couldn't help nodding slightly, and said calmly, "It looks like this." ”
In terms of hard power, he can't compare to an old monster like Helbo, and he doesn't feel that there is anything to be ashamed of. So he didn't feel how hard it was to accept, but readily admitted his shortcomings.
However, when he nodded calmly, the thorn in the next sentence became sharper.
"So, Mr. Helbo," asked Maca coldly, "what are you going to do with this body for me again?" Or do you want me to go over and pick it up myself? ”
After crawling out from under the Monument of Bewitchment, Helbo had already "gifted" Maca's two bodies one after another. And Maca's words at this time are actually not much different from "If you don't die quickly, I'll come and kill you".
Of course, Helbo would not have been provoked by such a level of provocation.
"If you really want this body, it's really nothing to give it to you."
The old monster touched his recovered stomach and a few ribs, and the smile he had just smiled suddenly changed back to the calm smile he had before.
"Then you're not leaving?"
Maca pursed the corners of her lips, but Helbo was naturally unmoved.
"How can I leave without getting what I want?"
The latter spread out his bruised hands and looked back and forth, as if to pass the time. Soon, he suddenly pressed his hand to his chest and pulled it out.
His shirt and robe had been torn off by him long ago, and it was naturally impossible for him to tear it out now. And when Maca watched him pull out old Eun's soul from his body, a pair of eyes narrowed for a moment.
This was an image that Maca could imagine, and when Helbo did this, it was most likely intended to obtain the summoning part of Abatheel from Old Eun.
Right now, Helbo, who has captured the body of Ewen Ravenclaw, is already difficult to deal with, if he gets the full demon summoning spell again......
Maca dared to conclude that even if he succeeded in destroying the Devouring Mirror, the remaining "other half" Helbo would become a big problem that was almost impossible to solve.
As the saying goes, "the most terrifying enemy is the unknown" - without knowing what the "demon" is, he doesn't want to gamble his life on the future.
Not to mention, there are a lot of other secrets hidden over there over there!
Therefore, at the moment when Helmo pulled Old Eun's soul out, Maca almost did not hesitate to unleash three blue-white regular beams of light at different angles with one hand.
Even if he couldn't kill Helbo in an instant, he would be able to settle for the next best thing, freezing the other party's arms and two more first!
At that moment, the inverted triangle attack blocked Helbo's movement at once.
If he simply tried to dodge by moving left and right, he would inevitably take at least two of these attacks; And if he simply stays where he is, it will be even more trivial.
Unless he chooses to jump up directly, if he is faster, he may be able to avoid being frozen off some flesh again.
Of course, the physical regeneration ability of the male dream demon bloodline is not unlimited, and the price of a magical ability like this in exchange for physical activity for growth is usually a large amount of lifespan. As for the flesh of old Eun's transformed bloodline, it has been a thousand years, and God knows how long Helbo can squander it?
But if Helbo really dared to leave the ground...... The wizard's means of flying were nowhere near as fast as he could run on his muscular legs.
Therefore, Maca is completely forcing Helbo to choose to move in space that cannot carry his soul to dodge.
However, Helbo chose not to move!
I saw that when the guy found that three dazzling beams of light suddenly lit up and rushed straight towards him, he turned his back very decisively.
In this regard, Maca had to wave his hand while feeling that he was also a "ruthless person".
The beam of light condensed by the power of the rules is not something that can only go straight to the ground.
If he just shot straight through, he might be able to freeze most of Helbo's body, but there was still a good chance that Helbo would be able to extract Old Eune's memories with the help of the Soul Rules.
Therefore, he only has one option left at the moment - that is, to destroy the soul of old Eun first.
It wasn't until the moment when this decision flashed through her mind that Maca was somewhat abrupt:
It turns out that this is the kind of idea of 'sacrificing others' that he has never been able to understand before? It turns out that when you want to protect more than yourself, will some seemingly contradictory practices be given another meaning?
For a normal person, taking away a fresh life is always uncomfortable.
Thankfully, a near-dying voice made him stop his left hand.
"Don't ...... me, done...... One last step! ”
Such a concise sentence has become the last trace left by Ewen Ravenclaw, who has been left for thousands of years, in this world.
Even the cry that comes from the soul cannot be heard with the ears.
Silently, the soul in Helbo's hand suddenly exploded, and it returned to nothingness in his sight.
"'Where did the dead go?', 'Reduced to nothingness'......"
Maca still remembers that this was the first question the Bronze Kitty asked back then, and that's exactly what he answered at the time. But only now did he realize that the answer was much more profound than he had imagined......
And, too, much heavier.
To be honest, while watching old Ewen choose to perish without hesitation, Maca became more curious about "Rowena Ravenclaw", a witch from a thousand years ago.
What kind of woman is that can make a man wait for a thousand years for one of her decisions, only to be denied at the last minute?
At this moment, Maca did not feel sorry for Old Eun, because he knew that the other party's heart had not experienced any sadness and pain from beginning to end.
Such a person is worthy of envy.
After witnessing an unremarkable scene of self-destruction, Maca nodded in her heart. At the same time, his right hand, which had not moved since the beginning, clenched the staff violently, and a burst of light erupted from the staff.
He had been waiting, waiting for the perfect moment—when Helmo was almost completely frozen in the ice, and his back was facing away from him.
If it weren't for Helbo's desire to read the memories in Old Eune's soul, Maca wouldn't have been able to get such a good opportunity.
It can be said that this is what Old Eun bought with his life.
When that burst of light was fleeting, a large amount of magic power quickly transitioned along the body of the staff into the rune array that was still running in the faint blue light.
As a result, the array diagram that was only partially activated at first was finally lit up completely!
Next, the entire rune array began to operate, and with all its might, a certain piece of "boulder" peeled off the comet due to the collision was pulled with precision.
In this regard, all Maca has to do is to supply enough magic power, and all other calculations have already been engraved on the curved stone slabs.
But Maca still didn't expect that in the face of real accidents, those situations just now were actually all insignificant.
At the second when the formation was activated, he only felt that his eyes suddenly blurred, and then he felt an incomparably smooth spatial shock.
And when his vision returned to normal, the unusually familiar scene not far away made his scalp tingle.
"How? Youngster...... Isn't it a 'surprise'? ”
