Chapter 1259: Assimilation
"It's cold."
As soon as she returned to the surface, Madison couldn't help but shiver, she didn't feel it in the crack leading to the ground, and the bitter cold immediately soaked her whole body after coming out.
It's not the bitter cold of winter, it's not the low temperature that freezes everything, and there isn't even a trace of cold wind around, but it's this frozen dead silence that faintly exudes this unusual cold.
It was a despair with no signs of life, deep in the bone marrow.
Who's doing it, Madison wonders a little.
New York hadn't yet entered winter, and although time was slowly drifting towards winter, she was still dressed very lightly when she went out for a walk, and she didn't feel the cold.
In the next moment, Madison's eyes widened in surprise as he saw everything around him clearly.
"A lot of crystals."
As far as the eye can see, there are blue crystals everywhere, and this brilliant blue crystal has taken over everything, buildings, cars, towering billboards, and other man-made structures, but it has even spread over non-artificial natural beings, such as the earth and the sky, and even clouds, light, liquids, and breaths.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
There was a crisp sound in mid-air, silently spotting them, and trying to pursue them again, but the dead silence clearly affected it as well.
The unusual low temperature even affected the silence, and Credence's body began to slow and dull, it could no longer maintain a light gas state, but began to crystalline, this state was very inconvenient, the slightest movement of those condensed small crystals collided with each other like wind chimes, and the crunch of the bell kept ringing.
"Dingding!"
This anomaly also seemed to frighten Silent Ran, and it suddenly closed in the air, its body stopped, and it was suspended in mid-air and spun around, as if it didn't know whether to continue the attack or figure out the situation first.
But Madison was clearly not so entangled in Murphy, she helped Credence purely for Joanna's sake, and now the surface seems to have undergone some kind of surprising change. She naturally puts all this first, rather than caring about some unknown obscurity.
"Huh?"
Madison lifted his foot, but keenly sensed that his right foot seemed to be sticky.
It was as if something was glued to the sole of her shoe, and it took extra effort for her to lift it, rather than lifting her leg as if it were instinctive.
Slightly startled, Madison already had a bad guess.
The next moment, she floated up from the ground, her feet off the ground, and rose to about a punch from the ground on the soles of her shoes, she turned the soles over and looked at them, and sure enough, she saw some tiny blue crystals already appeared on the soles, looking at their shapes, it seemed that they were about to cover the entire sole.
Or rather... Spread, assimilate.
When he looked at the ground under his feet again, Madison saw that a cluster of crystals had risen from his feet, like a blooming flower, and it was still very wide, about the size of a quail egg, and the higher it went, the smaller the crystal cluster became, until it reached the height of half a finger, and it gradually lost the attraction of the soles of Madison's feet, and stopped.
Very dangerous stuff. Beautiful and deadly.
Madison can certainly see the horror hidden under the crystal, it has a terrible spread, or infection and assimilation, if she doesn't react fast enough, and then stand for half a minute, when her feet are the first to be entangled in the crystal, then what awaits her in the end is only a beautiful crystal statue on the ground.
"Look!"
Sure enough, Joanna quickly validated Madison's conjecture.
As an Auror, Joanna is experienced in dealing with all kinds of strange magic, so naturally she doesn't need Madison to worry, she also levitates with her feet off the ground, pulls Madison, and points to the side.
Following Joanna's gaze, Madison saw several crystal statues with different expressions.
It's the witches who stay on the ground.
Madison hadn't completely turned into a goldfish, and after a little recollection, he remembered the faces of several people, and there were quite a few witches left on the ground, and listening to Imogin, there were also people coming one after another, about four or five people.
There are only three statues here, and someone managed to run away.
"Damn monsters!" Joanna's expression was a little melancholy, and her face was not very good-looking.
She had seen a lot of sacrifices from her companions, and once had a friend who entered the Source World with her, who died under the Curse of Hunting for the Dark Wizard, but it was all in the Source World.
The source world is inherently dangerous, you can choose to stay away from danger, but it also means that there is nothing to gain, and if you choose higher benefits, you will naturally have to take risks.
Dying in the Source World, they had already been mentally prepared.
But this is the real world, the real world where there should be no danger and no accidents, but now so many people have died, even in the source world, they have never suffered such huge casualties.
Joanna was feeling sorry for her fellow Witch Sisterhood, but Madison didn't have much affection for them, and the only people she had a good relationship with were Imokin, Delia, and Joanna.
She was looking at the crystal statues.
The layers of the crystals are very thick, which makes the statue wrap a thick layer on the witch's surface, not at all as concave and realistic as the statue, but more like a large ice mound.
But I don't know what material this crystal is, although it is heavy, the figures inside are not blurred, but very clear, and Madison can even see the expressions of the witches being frozen in an instant.
The three witches, one with a face downward, the wand he held downward, and the other two were in a normal state of panic, but without exception, they all drew their wands, but they were powerless to resist.
Apparently, the first person discovered the fact that her feet were entangled in crystals, but she couldn't get rid of them, and when she tried to get rid of them, the infection had already taken a quick turn, wrapping her whole body, and even giving her no time to react.
That's why they left such movements and demeanors.
As for the other two people, they should have fallen into despair after trying, and could only watch the crystallization spread down their bodies little by little, so their expressions showed a touch of distortion.
In any case, it will definitely not taste good.
Madison looked at the ground, the crystal didn't continue to spread, and after levitating itself, it seemed to give up on itself, or rather not think it still existed.
It's really strange that Madison realized the oddity of something, if it floats and can avoid the crystal spread on the ground, then why is it that even the sky and clouds, even the light and breath without substance can be crystallized.
With her eyes open, she saw that the blue crystal sky was like a hedgehog, densely packed with sharp or blunt spikes sticking out downward, and it was not surprising that this was the frozen light.
"Ding--Ding--"
Mo Ran in mid-air still didn't move, it was hung in the air like a wind chime, and the whole body once again showed the state of the diamond-shaped hexahedron when Joanna was trapped, but it was not the large hexahedron that it was before, but it was composed of small crystals, like a sandstorm, but the essence was not sand, it was a storm composed of black crystals.
Obviously, even if it silently loses its mind, the instinct of the creature is constantly warning it of the danger here, so that it does not dare to act rashly, and it is suspended like this.
Madison looked amused and glared at it fiercely, if it weren't for it, Joanna and herself would have run like a tired dog.
Of course, in order to save Credence, Joanna escaped from the Wizarding Congress with Madison directly, instead of wasting time and saving her fellow witches one by one, which saved a lot of trouble.
"Whew--"
The hem of his clothes didn't shake in the slightest, but it was as if some invisible wind was blowing, and Madison suddenly shivered and felt a little cold.
Subconsciously turning her head, she frowned slightly again.
Several crystal statues were a few points thicker than before, and the figure inside was no longer visible, only a human figure could be seen vaguely.
Obviously, crystallization isn't over yet, at least. This is not its full form.
"Whew--"
Another gust of cold wind blew, and this time Madison really felt the wind, and even the cold hairs on the back of her neck stood on end instantly.
She turned her head suddenly, just in time to see Joanna calm down and let out another cold breath.
Yes, even the exhaled gas seems to be crystallized, forming a frosty gas.
It turned out to be Joanna's ghost, and Madison glared at her fiercely and rubbed the back of his neck.
Joanna didn't seem to notice Madison's small movements, and she quickly calmed herself from her feelings of hurt and anger at her companions, took a deep breath, and whispered to Credence that she was "out of her body."
As free wizards, the biggest difference from the aborigines in the plot is that they seem to do things more freely, and Joanna is not averse to the use of the Unforgivable Spell.
Of course, the reason why the Unforgivable Spell is called the Unforgivable Spell is not because of the harm it causes to people, but because the spell itself can twist the mind of the wizard and make the wizard go crazy.
It seems to be very similar to the evil god.
Among them, the Require Charm is the most, as for the Imperius Charm, it will be much worse and will not have much impact on the wizard itself, and the Heart Curse is second to the Requirping Charm.
The ominous light flickered and struck Credence with precision along Joanna's hand.
The solidification and sluggishness brought about by the cold air freeze brought great convenience to Joanna, otherwise it is difficult to say whether she can really hit the non-physical Murmur, let alone such an accurate hit.
"Shhh
The Imperius Curse was equally effective against Silent Ran, as could be heard from its scurrying and crisp crashing sounds.
But it's not enough.,Silence is the result of the witch's adult repressed magic rage.。。 And all the magical potential exploded together, Joanna's thin Imperius Curse was obviously a little inadequate.
Joanna apparently noticed the situation as well.
"Together!" She yelled at Madison.
Madison didn't hesitate, and the moment the wand slipped down, the spell came out of his hand.
On the way to escape, Joanna thought of many ways to deal with the current situation, but when she actually came to the ground, she realized that the plan could never catch up with the change.
Who could have known that the evil god had already begun to assimilate and even transform the surrounding environment in such a short period of time, but this also brought convenience to the two of them.
Silence slowed down, or even condensed into a solid state, meant that his sanity could be awakened by more brutal means.
For example.. Imposing sanity, the Imperius curse.
Extraordinary times, extraordinary means.
The two Imperius curses are pulling, holding each other back and giving innocent third parties at the same time. Credence in silence brought a lot of pressure.
It begins to feel like it doesn't belong to it anymore.
It's not the kind that is bewitched by the evil god, but watching his body get out of his control little by little, and he has completely become an outsider.
This is what Joanna calls brutal tactics.
Her reaction was quick, and the moment she realized that magic could effectively hit the silent one, the countless previous plans were immediately pushed aside, and the quickest one was chosen.
Credence is controlled by the Imperius Curse, which is still insane in some ways, but the Imperius Curse can add a new layer of mission to it, even if it is insane in nature.
But just hurry up and get Credence out of the realm of the evil gods. Everything was settled.
The two Imperius spells acted on Credence's body, canceling each other out and depriving Credence of his control, and the black mist-like silence shook more and more in mid-air, making a series of crunchy sounds, and Joanna felt that it was about to reach its limit.
With a flick of her wrist, Joanna instantly cut off the spell.
"Bang!"
Not surprisingly, Madison's spell worked.
The dazzling ball of light exploded on Silent Ran's body, as if some kind of invisible scanning, instantly wrapping Silent Ran, who had shrunk into a ball, and then the light dispersed, as if nothing had happened.
But Madison knew that her Imperius Curse had taken effect, and she tilted her head slightly, waiting for Joanna to give her an explanation.
"Now he's yours." Joanna said, "Get him out of here." ”
Madison raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about you, what are you going to do, and what can you do." ”
Joanna pointed to the source of the assimilation of the crystal world in the distance, and most of her body had broken free from the ground, and the hideous and crazy evil god appeared, "I always have to take a look." ”
"You're always thinking about being a hero." Madison retorted coldly.
"I don't understand what you're thinking, you're just a little wizard, even if you're the best Auror, what can you do with this creature, you don't even dare to look at it."
"You want me to run away on my own? I advise you not to do that. ”
Joanna kept her mouth shut, of course she knew that it would be difficult for her to convince Madison, although Madison didn't seem to be very communicative, but after getting acquainted, she could find that she was still a good person.
As for Credence. If neither of them plans to leave, then it doesn't matter who it is.
Joanna knocked her head, thinking about whether to take Madison and Credence with her so recklessly, but at this time, a voice that seemed familiar suddenly came not far away, "You are... Joanna? ”
