Chapter 1542: Arrogant Mortals
“…… Helbo, have you ever thought about what you're going to do when you've really mastered the rules of death? ”
People must have goals in order to keep moving forward.
The reason why Helbo has been able to be crushed underground for thousands of years without changing his original intention is precisely because of his unparalleled dedication to chasing his goal.
However, the more difficult it is to achieve that goal, and the more protracted the process of gritting your teeth and persevering, the more people will not be able to tolerate anything else.
Obviously, when you don't even have room to look up, how can you have the idea of looking into a more distant future?
Helbo's goal is undoubtedly extremely ambitious, looking at the history of magic in ancient and modern times, even in the period when the wizarding civilization was at its peak, there were only a handful of people who touched the rules of the third level. And it is not easy for Helbo, who was born at the end of the ancient wizard civilization, to give birth to this ideal.
"After mastering the rules of death?"
To be honest, with Helbo's wisdom, although he didn't think about anything, after all, the most important thing he lacked in his life up to now was probably the time for a person to ponder.
But in fact, apart from the forced dormancy of the ground for most of the time, Helpo's thinking is indeed about how to reach out to his goal.
After the future goal is achieved, he really doesn't seem to have bothered to face it.
"Well, that's a good question," Helmpo asked, as he admired the ice picks around him, and when he heard Maca ask, he turned to look at it for the first time, "maybe...... Is it fun to transform the world into what I like? ”
In his words, the malice that overflowed with desire could probably be heard by anyone. However, Maca did not perceive any real feeling in it.
Yes, it is not difficult to speculate that after Helmo takes control of "death", the world will probably change dramatically.
But after all, could a wizard like Helmo, who has spent his entire life searching for the truth of magic, be interested in such a purely personal thing?
As far as Maca's understanding of Helbo is concerned, it is impossible to think about it.
"It seems that you are not going to tell me the truth," he said, looking at Helbo from afar, shaking his head lightly, "In that case, it is pointless to talk any further." ”
As Maca said earlier, although Helbo seems to be very casual on the surface, in fact, there is a hint of "can't wait" everywhere.
"Really?"
He smiled noncommittally as if Maca had dismissed the idea of continuing the conversation. It's a pity that with his current dark and stiff face, no matter what he does, his expression will give people a creepy feeling.
"I don't think that conversation was 'meaningless', but in that case, let's enjoy the last hearty battle of your life!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Helbo suddenly raise his hand and wave forward, and the vibration on the ground suddenly revived the army of living corpses that had suddenly stopped just now, and once again took their forward steps.
In a short time, a large number of living corpses of various shapes rushed out of the darkness behind Helbo, rumbling past him, smashing the ice picks made by Maca and smashing them towards the ruins of the church.
Soon, Helbo, who was standing in place and not moving, was completely overwhelmed by the crowd of living corpses.
"No matter how many times you watch it, it's still so spectacular!"
Maca grinned slightly, waved her hands repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, a black flame stream erupted again in front of him.
The magic power is constantly being consumed, but the result of this price is that the living corpses fall to the ground in pieces where the soul flame burns. Even with the fog, they never got up and got back into the attack.
Among the living corpses, Helbo was actually swept by the soul flame several times, but he just stood in place, letting the black flames pour all over his body.
"I'm becoming more and more proficient in the use of the rules of the soul," he said, looking blankly ahead, watching his men wipe out like weeds caught in wildfire, but still having the leisure to examine and comment there, "It's a pity that you're not 'arrogant' after all, and you can't exert its full power." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly opened his mouth and took a sharp breath.
The next moment, a majestic attraction appeared from his mouth, pulling the black flames that Maca had cast, along with the remnants of the living corpses in front of him, towards his abdomen.
Seeing that the soul flame was instantly out of her control, Maca was pulled in the direction where Helbo was, and immediately dissolved the rune. Then, he immediately opened his arms and helped Harry, who was hiding in the ruins of the church behind him, to counteract this great attraction for souls.
Maca understood that Helbo was showing himself the true use of the Soul Rule, and this suction in front of him was the catastrophic ability unique to the Soul Rule rune contained in the Devouring Mirror.
"'Gluttony'...... Is it? ”
Now Maca will no longer be ripped out of her soul under this suction, and she can even protect Harry by the way, which is the advantage of spending energy on studying "arrogance".
But Helbo's assessment is indeed correct, and Maca also knows that he will not reach the end of the road of "arrogance". The true power of the Bewitching Monument, he estimated that he would not be able to get it in this life.
"If I have to say, all the branches of the Soul Rules that I've been exposed to so far...... It doesn't seem to be a good fit with me? ”
once again confirmed that he is an ordinary person, and at this time, it will make people feel a little discouraged.
When the suction from Helbo's mouth suddenly stopped, Maca looked at the living corpse that fell to the ground between herself and Helbo, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This is the difference in strength between him and Helmo now, and at the moment, it is really clear at a glance that the living corpse he destroyed with the soul flame just now is not as much as Helbo himself has solved!
However, the army of living corpses did not fear death, and even if the corpses fell to the ground in front of them, they still did not stop rushing forward. It wasn't long before Helbo was overwhelmed again, and a large number of restocking enemies filled Maka's entire vision.
This time, Maca didn't use the Soul Flame again, because it was too expensive for him to forcibly do so because he couldn't touch the true meaning of the Soul Rules.
"Up!"
Before the enemy could gather any more, Maca suddenly raised her hands up, and an arc-shaped wall of ice rose like a city wall, blocking the group of living corpses.
This night battle has just begun.
