Chapter 289: Soul Contract
"Oh, you found out." Merlin deliberately exaggerated, "I mean, Morgan, if you're smart enough, you should know that the best option at this time is to sneak away, because there's no place for you here." ”
"Bastard, I need you to teach me!" Morgan was furious, "You all go to hell for me!" ”
Saying that, Morgan also urged the magic power of his whole body, forming a group of dark red crows in front of him.
With a wave of the arm, the crows swooped down on all of us.
"Damn, this is the most evil undead magic, once one of the crows pounces, that person will be covered in blood and festering to death." Ios looked solemn and braced his hands in front of him.
"Flame Net!"
A protective net spewing raging flames formed in front of everyone. The scorching heat can be clearly felt from head to toe even from afar.
However, those crows were not afraid at all, and they just crashed into the flame net!
I thought there would be a terrible scorching scene in front of me, but they passed through unscathed, as if they had just passed through a puff of air.
"Hahahaha! Do you think your magic trick can hurt my cute little one? Morgan pointed at Ios disdainfully, "Even I can't destroy them myself, with you?" ”
“…… This is black magic, and there is no way to undo it by ordinary means. Ios gritted his teeth, "Shirou, you take everyone away." Here I'm going to find a way to resist it for a while. ”
"Don't be so flustered." Merlin waved his hand at him, "Just trust the little ghost." ”
“……”
I looked down at my hands, and saw bursts of holy white light swirling over them.
There is no need to be reminded at all, and the things to be done are already self-evident.
Taking a deep breath, I shoved Avalon, the scabbard in my hand, in front of me.
Buzz Buzz –
After a pleasant sound, Avalon's barrier opened completely.
The dazzling white light engulfed all the crows in front of him at once!
Sneering –
As if it had been purified, the crow continued to emit white smoke.
Then, like ice and snow meeting sunlight, the crows quickly melted away, and soon disappeared completely.
"This ...... Is it the power of Avalon? It's really the legendary sword scabbard that never dies. ”
Ios said with his mouth wide open, as if surprised.
"It's really strong."
I also have to admit it.
Anyone who has not personally held the scabbard has absolutely no way to understand how powerful it is.
It's the most powerful of guards, but it's not the usual concept of a "tough shield."
It's like being in outer space and watching the destruction of the planet at a certain moment, no matter how serious the blow is, there is no way to affect this side.
Because, that is not the "interference" of time and space!
"What!? You can actually use Avalon on your own? Morgan also looked stunned, "This kind of thing...... How could it happen! ”
"Morgan, I don't quite understand it, but you'd better stop it now." I said to the stunned Morgan, "There's no way you can threaten us anymore." ”
"Nope! This must be fake, if the sword in the stone represents the qualifications of becoming a king, then Avalon represents the duty to protect the world. Morgan's knuckles clenched white, "However, as long as human beings have feelings, as long as there is a trace of emotion, then they cannot make fair judgments, and thus cannot make arbitration for the world." ”
"So it's impossible, you must have secretly used some kind of unpopular magic, disguised as using Avalon, in order to break my heart. I won't be fooled by this kind of low-level psychological tactics! ”
With that, Morgan unleashed several more attack spells.
Of course, these attacks, without exception, were all blocked by Avalon.
As long as Avalon's barrier is still open, no attack will be able to pass through it.
"Whew...... Whew......"
After several failed attempts, Morgan could only gasp and stare at me with a mixture of reluctance and resentment.
"So, Morgan, I said you should have left, and staying here is just a shame."
Merlin didn't think it was a big deal at all, and fanned the flames on the side.
"Hmph, whatever you do, I'll see how you save the assassin anyway."
As if realizing that the situation was unfavorable, Morgan gave up his previous clamor and turned to look at Ios quietly.
"Little ghost, cut off your arm quickly, or the woman you courted will not be saved."
Avalon only temporarily blocked Baixiang's exit as a heroic spirit, but it was a palliative rather than a cure.
It's like stopping the bleeding from a wound, if you can't repair the blood vessels, then it's pointless.
"Merlin, you have to think of a way, you can't really let Ios lose an arm, can you?"
I asked Merlin for help.
“…… In this matter, others can't help, he can only rely on himself. Merlin shook his head, then looked at Ios. I said, if you really decide what to give, how about showing some sincerity? ”
"Sincerity? What are you talking about? ”
Ios looked at Merlin in bewilderment.
"Even if you sacrifice your arm, it's just a physical connection to the Heroic Spirit, and you can probably have a similar empathetic experience." Speaking of this, Merlin smiled slightly, "However, do you want to consider making a soul contract?" ”
"Is there any difference?" Ios's eyes lit up slightly.
"In the fleshly contract, it is the body of the lord who is contracted; However, the soul contract is made by the soul of the master. Merlin said slowly, "Once the soul contract is decided, the existence of the Heroic Spirit will no longer be grafted into the world itself, but the soul of the Master. You will be bound together by pure bonds, from generation to generation. ”
"I see, so that even if I die, my soul will not die, and Baixiang can always exist in the world, right?"
Ioston smiled comfortably.
"Uh...... That's fine. Merlin choked on Ios, "But I don't understand, don't ordinary people rejoice that they have gained permanent control over the Heroic Spirits?" Why isn't this the first thing you think about? ”
"What are you talking about, Lord Merlin?" Ios shook his head repeatedly, "As long as the hundred faces can not disappear, I can do whatever you want." As for controlling her, I've never thought about it. She has the right to do whatever she wants, and that's not something I'm qualified to interfere with. ”
