Chapter 1304: "True Injury" and "Fake Death"
"You're not allowed to touch Hermione!"
Under Maca's excellent acting skills, everything seems to be going according to plan. m.
This includes when Helmo kidnaps "Luna", when Hyerbo uses this to induce him to fly into the air, and of course, when Helmo uses spatial teleportation to move behind Hermione.
It's just that...... The rest of the story was quite different.
Right now, near the door of the department store, Helbo, who had made a fumbled move, no longer needed "Luna" as his shield.
Seeing that he was about to shake himself off, Maca, who had transformed into Luna, suddenly seized the opportunity and grabbed Helbo's arm with a backhand.
Helbo, who was about to get rid of this "useless" Lovegood and take Hermione hostage, was once again hindered by the former
"Crushed"
Maca held Helbo tightly, holding Helbo firmly and pressing Luna's wand against the other's chest, chanting a spell while secretly clenching her teeth.
Next is Helbo's blow that caused Luna to be seriously injured and near death, even if Delphi has confessed that it was her hand in the end, but even if she doesn't make a move, Luna just won't die.
And it was Helbo's heavy blow of annoyance and impatience that Maca had to take down firmly!
"Annoying!"
Hearing the cold snort of the other party, who was annoyed by repeated obstacles, Maca only had time to turn sideways slightly, and the next moment she felt a strong force coming from the right side.
At the moment when Juli was added, he seemed to have heard the overwhelmed moans of the muscles and bones all over his body.
"Luna!"
When he was flying in the air, the voice he shouted at that time flew into Maca's ears, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to take a look.
"Bang"
Even though he knew that he was stopped by Delphi and picked up in his arms, the force that was slapped away by Helbo's backhand still pushed him and Delphi out of a distance.
When the inertia was exhausted and stopped, he suddenly realized the feeling of pain everywhere in his body...... How many bones were broken? He didn't even have the strength to count them.
"Hmm......"
Blood continued to flow from between his mouth and nose, and there were multiple puncture wounds on his body due to fractures, and even his skull seemed to have cracks.
It didn't take long for him to become almost a bloody man.
Such a serious injury, even if it was only a physical injury, was enough to make people tremble, and this was a deliberate injury that he had suffered with some preparation.
Conscious...... It seems to be a little blurry.
"Click-la-la-......"
There was a strange sound in my ears, it must be the sound of ice crystals condensing...... Oh! It should be an ice pick, did Delphi make a shot?
Because of the hard resistance to Helbo's ruthless blow, even if he temporarily adjusted his posture, he couldn't help but be in a trance for a while. If Delphi couldn't wait to hack him, the "fake Luna", it would definitely be impossible for him to die, but he would inevitably suffer a lot of damage.
And this is also one of the most critical places that Maca gambles.
Luckily, Delphi didn't catch him right away, giving him a brief respite. As long as you have this opportunity to take a breath, you can rely on the real injury to deceive yourself at this time, and this possibility will become much more likely!
In a moment, "Luna", who had eased up a little, closed her eyes tightly, leaned into Delphi's arms and did not move, and the serious injuries on her body did not need to be pretended, so his extremely weak performance became very natural.
"Stay away from Hermione...... Die! ”
"Snort"
"Whoa......
A series of sounds sounded not far away, which was the movement of himself rushing over to fight Helbo at that time.
After the latter was stabbed by the basilisk horn staff and the attack directly applied by the cooling rules in his body, the other party finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned into black flames and retreated to the middle of the street.
All of this passed through the ears of "Luna", and "she" endured the unparalleled pain all over her body, and all of them were remembered in her heart.
"Hermione ......"
It was when he was busy asking Delphi about Delphi's voice after protecting Hermione, who couldn't move.
"Luna, how is she?"
Although Helbo had retreated into the street to avoid the attack, and had suffered a lot of frostbite on his body, he still didn't seem to have any intention of evacuating.
Therefore, at this time, Maca didn't dare to look away easily. While half-supporting and half-hugging Hermione, his eyes were still firmly locked on the direction where Helbo was.
And it was at this time that Delphi, who didn't notice the situation here, finally made a move.
"I'm sorry."
A voice that was so light that it was almost indiscernible slipped through Luna's ears, and then a bone-piercing chill suddenly came from the hand that was resting on her back.
Soul Rules!
It was another branch of the Soul Rule that was different from Maca's "Arrogance" and Helbo's "Gluttony", stemming from the sins of Willy's bloodline curse.
Previously, Maca had speculated that this might be a power that he personally gave to Delphi in the future, after all, Willy's curse had already been extracted by him. At this time, the plasma-like extract is still sealed in his waist pocket!
However, since Delphi used this hand...... For Luna, it must have been fatal, but it was much easier to deal with Maca.
In just an instant, the regular power that invaded his body was used by him to use the "arrogant" rune, and it disappeared silently.
But at the same time, he immediately contracted his soul, and his vital signs, which had become weaker and weaker, took a sharp turn again.
At this moment, the surrounding sounds became more and more distant as if they were muffled by something.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
After asking a question, Maca noticed that Delphi had not answered. Then, he no longer had the heart to keep an eye on Helbo, and hurriedly turned his head to look to the side.
"Lou"
All that caught her eye was bright red, because of "Luna's" fair skin and long pale blonde hair, the blood became more and more dazzling on "her".
"Did you hit your head? Still is...... Hemostasis! yes, we need to stop the bleeding quickly......"
This was the last thing that Maka, who was pretending to be Luna, heard the last words he said at that time, and immediately after, he fell into a state of suspended animation because he actively contracted his soul.
That's right, only a genuine serious injury, and the elimination of the soul, can deceive oneself. Even if it's just one of them, it's impossible to fool it.
Of course, even here, the risk is still there, because he obviously has no way of knowing what will happen after the fake death has passed.
"Get out of here!"
When Helbo tried to attack again, Maca, who was already enraged by Luna's state, finally erupted, and the soul rule rune immediately flashed in front of her.
And because it is equivalent to "two maca" getting together at this time, the strength of the rules of the double share makes the "arrogant" rune distorted.
"Something is wrong...... Why? ”
Hellpo's question is obviously not answered by anyone. Because the only person in the know, he has long been in a state of ignorance.
……
When Maca's soul gradually revives and leads him back from suspended animation, there is no more chaos and noise around him.
There is no such thing as a violent turbulence of magic, and of course no messy magic. Even the unbearable pain in his body is gone, and it should have been cured by the enchanting treatment he had since then.
Everything seems to have completely returned to calm.
And now Maca wants to know, nothing went wrong later, right?
Because he didn't dare to use his perceptual ability to sense the situation around him, he could only open one eye slightly and hurriedly glanced from left to right.
Darkness, all that remains in my mind is a large area of darkness.
This was predictable, because he had already put the time period of awakening at night, and even if there would be a deviation, it would not deviate from the daytime.
And then...... He was supposed to be lying in a hospital bed, covered with St. Mungo's white quilt, while his right hand was being held tightly by another hand that did not belong to him.
That must be Hermione's hand, right? He had just seen a man lying on the side of the bed with naturally curled fluffy hair, who else could it be if it wasn't Hermione?
"Well, this is indeed the ward, and there are still so many people in the room...... In this way, it seems that my plan has been ...... Very close to success? ”
It was impossible to say that he was unhappy, but in addition to being happy, a strange feeling suddenly made him a little uneasy.
"What's going on?"
Makana's other hand under the quilt clenched into a fist slightly, and the slender and soft feeling was indeed still Luna's palm.
There is no doubt that the effect of the potent compound decoction continues to work, so the problem should not be the camouflage failure.
"Could it be that it's just because you haven't taken the last step yet that you're worried?"
Although there has never been such a record of "the closer you get to the end, the more uneasy you feel" before, but this time after all, there is a lot of danger, and if you take one wrong step, you will lose everything.
When you think about it, you don't feel uneasy, and it's not so hard to accept.
"Forget it, anyway...... Let's finish the plan first! ”
Maca, who was lying on the hospital bed, was thinking so, but unexpectedly, an inaudible voice suddenly came out of the corner of the ward:
“…… Father? ”
In the next second, Delphi, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up as if he had noticed something.
This sudden movement also made Maca's heart tightened to be discovered?
How can it be!
