10. Book thief!
Learning is never easy.
Even the personal teaching of one of the world's most powerful mages was not necessarily more interesting than learning in junior high school, in fact, learning magic was a very boring thing, and Cyber was so big at the sight of the twisted and twisted 183 soul runes that it took him 14 days to memorize them.
The stumbling has only entered the next stage, his soul is different from others, it is completely integrated with the body, the advantage is that the soul is not susceptible to injury, even in the face of the repentant eye of the evil spirit knight, the soul will not be burned, and the disadvantage is that the head is cut off and he will definitely die, unlike ordinary people who can still be saved as long as their souls are intact.
Like most things in the world, there are six good and one bad part.
And in the difficult situation of Strange, Strange is not much better, to become the best surgeon in the world, Strange's learning ability is definitely not weak, in fact, it only took him 3 days to memorize the soul rune, this speed shocked the ancient one, but in the next 11 days, he was not able to make an inch.
It's like being hit on the head with a stick and stupid, and Strange is frustrated, he almost goes crazy every day to study, but he doesn't make any progress, and this pressure makes the surgeon very uncomfortable and painful.
At night on the 15th day, Cyber leaned idly on the head of his bed, lit a cigarette in his hand, and looked at the bright moon outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Kama Taj's Mage Tower is said to have been built 1200 years ago, so you don't have to expect it to be so comfortable to live in, with its antique furniture, and even the beds exude a smell of time, but this ghost place is also quite up to date, with Wi-Fi, a dedicated computer room, and electric lights.
Smoking is not allowed in this place, but after Cyber Yi beat up 4 mage apprentices in a row to stop him, no one cared about him, Gu Yi was a simple person, she didn't pay attention to these petty fights at all, and Master Mordo, who was in charge of the daily management of the mage tower, knew that Cyber was difficult, so he simply turned a blind eye.
Anyway, it's just smoking, it's not a big problem.
Strange's nerd should still be working hard in the meditation room now, he is Cyber's roommate, this guy's personality is okay, probably also experienced a setback, his heart has grown a lot, and he didn't cause any trouble for Cyber, he simply took out his phone from under his pillow and began to text and play with relatives and friends in Gotham.
But at the moment when Selena sent three very seductive photos, Cyber's nose suddenly moved, he put down his phone suddenly, walked quickly to the corner, opened the wooden box, pulled out the alloy knife from it, and walked out of the room.
He smelled blood.
The strong smell of blood... This is the first time this has been encountered in Kama Taj's mage tower, and if it weren't for the mage apprentices who had their brains in the water planning to kill a pig alive for barbecue, then something must have happened.
On the other side, in Kama Taj's library, the king clutched his chest and retreated in a hurry among the hundreds of thousands of books, and under his palm, there was a hideous wound, which was pierced by an invisible blade, and it looked like it had been attacked from behind.
In the frantically spreading dark fog, the terrifying roar seemed to sound behind the king, and the cries of people when they were dying, combined with the increasingly cold and gloomy air, it was like a chaotic hell, the smell of blood and rancid smell was everywhere, and in the viscous breathing behind him, there was liquid rolling, disgusting to the extreme.
Wang, a man with a fleshy face and a serious work, but a kind guy was already extremely pale at this time, and he could feel that a dark power was pouring out of the wound, like a living bloodsucking worm, frantically absorbing his life force.
"Bang"
His legs fell to his knees on the ground, his lips were already blue, he moved his body forward with difficulty, a blood mark spread on the ground, the mana of his whole body was used to stop the continued invasion of the dark power, more than ten meters in front of him, was a well-maintained beast head long stick, that is the unique magic weapon of Kama Taj, it is said that there is an ancient power entrenched in it, which can resist all evil curses.
But just as he was about to touch the long stick, a foot reached out from the darkness that spread from behind him, and kicked the king on the waist so hard that his round body flew out and slammed it on the threshold of the library.
"Poof"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Wang looked back in despair to see seven figures coming out of the gloomy darkness.
"Iker Casillas!"
Wang clutched his chest with difficulty, and he wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, "Why?"
"Why? Are you crazy?"
The figure standing at the front seemed to have heard some funny joke, "Don't you know why? My poor junior brother, do you really not know why I am doing this?"
He walked up to the king from the darkness, and took off his hood, revealing the typical European face among them, with gray hair, hazy eyes, hooked nose, and an indelible shadow under the shadow, almost like the most old-fashioned villain in the flickering light of the library.
He stretched out his hand to the king's face, and his voice was gentle and hoarse, as if they had once been the disciples of the Ancient One discussing the subtleties of magic,
"You see, you're 170 years old... I am also 223 years old, and time and life have passed in the meaningless discussions of our past, and our teacher, the great Supreme Venerable Guyi, once told us that dying on the path of truth is a glorious thing, and I thought that I could face the coming death calmly..."
A gentle smile appeared on his wrinkled face, but the next moment it turned to madness, and his fingers were caught in the king's wounds, causing the book keeper to let out a bitter wail.
"But I suddenly realized... When I was facing death, I suddenly found that I couldn't look at me so calmly, everything I had, all my efforts and my pursuits just disappeared, and they completely dissipated with death, I couldn't do it... Wang, my junior brother, you know, I'm a coward, so I'm going to run away from death. ”
Mage Casillas stood up, his bloody fingers flicking in the air, and a female follower behind him respectfully placed a heavy book in his hand, and the old mage picked it up and looked at it, smiled, and shook the book in his hand towards the almost breathless king, the surface of which was a chaotic amber emblem.
Master Casillas's voice grew more and more pleasant, like a child about to get a delicious candy,
"Behold, the Book of Cagliostro, the extraterritorial knowledge of time, in which it is said to hide the mystery of eternal life, oh, don't look at me like that, I know that eternal life is only a delusion, even if it is as strong as the Ancient One, it will pass by time, but I also know... Our knowledge, what we have in our heads..."
He pointed to his forehead,
"It's priceless, it can be exchanged for a lot of things... As long as the value is high enough, you can always find the right buyer, and luckily, I found it..."
He turned, and the darkness behind him suddenly disappeared, revealing a dozen mutilated corpses, as if they had been eaten by some wild beast, and he led his followers to the other side of the chamber, shaking his hand without looking back.
"Good-bye, king, my dear brother, I will get what I expect, and you will die for the endless "truth"... It's an honor for all of us, and it's the best ending. ”
"The Ancient One... The Ancient One will punish you!"
The king shouted with difficulty, and Casillas chose to laugh in the face of this substantial threat, "Then we will have to wait until she returns from the Nine Kingdoms... Do you really think that she can continue to lock down this world? Hahahaha, you are so naïve, our great teacher... Already weak. ”
"Hey, fatty, for the sake of you adding me an extra chicken leg at noon, maybe I should help you, right?"
A voice suddenly entered the library, and Master Casillas, who was about to reach the front of the curtain of water flowing with dark light, suddenly stopped, and the king also looked up behind him, where Seber, wearing a silver-white mask and carrying a war knife behind his back, leaned against the door, with one hand on his waist, and glared at everything in the library.
"Tut-tut, look, look... What have you done, these kids are a little bit old-fashioned, a little bit annoying, but you don't have to treat them so miserably, hey guys, you guys look like a bunch of ruthless characters, a bunch of big bad guys, say, who are you?"
Cyber's muffled voice rang out in the darkness, and Casillas didn't feel a single bit of mana from Cyber, he sneered,
"Kill him!"
As soon as he gave the order, the 6 followers around him wearing black hoods and holding various weapons pounced towards Cyber, they used a completely different fighting style from Mordo, ruthless, efficient, and deadly, when he pounced, the 4 people in front of him faintly formed a three-stage attack pattern in a row, and the invisible blade was summoned by them with a spell, which was harder and sharper than ordinary steel.
The last two men waved their hands, and crimson chains of light flew out of their hands, easily wrapping around Cyber's limbs, and they flicked the chains, trying to hold Cyber in place, giving the four melee mages a chance to kill with one blow.
This is definitely a well-trained raider, and it is no wonder that the veteran mage king would be injured under this kind of attack.
But for Cyber, such an offense is inevitably a little, too pediatric.
"Bang, bang"
The heat in his body was awakened at this moment, and then there were two crisp sounds, the chains that bound his limbs were broken in an instant, and the crimson points of light were still scattered in the air, and Cyber's body disappeared in place at a speed beyond the limits of human beings, and the stones on the ground shattered, and a black shadow flashed into the Tibetan poetry room.
The two mages at the front subconsciously stabbed out the invisible blades in their hands, and four invisible blades pierced Cyber's body, piercing all the bones and muscles in an instant, and warm blood splashed everywhere, but it failed to stop Cyber's advance.
"Bang"
It was as if they had been hit head-on by the fastest battering ram, and their soft-stomped bodies flew upside down from the spot, and Cyber's two blows with all his strength shattered their sternum, and judging from the deformed chest, their hopes of survival were obviously not so rosy.
When the power reaches an extreme, the crazy superposition of destructive power cannot be stopped by magic, and those who are familiar with Cyber know that once the killing is started, he will not easily stop until he kills it all, just like a big cat that hunts like crazy, and hunting is not for eating in many cases.
The moment he hit the two attackers, Cyber's body forcibly stopped in place, his eyes under his mask flashed a red light, his left hand grabbed the hilt behind his back, and with the help of the huge kinetic energy he had accumulated, he slashed diagonally from above with a 180° crazy slash, and the sharp silver light swept through the dim library, and between the flashes of the blade, a crimson flame shadow flashed away, and the invisible blades of the two mage followers in front of him made a sound like glass shattering.
Faced with the sharpest weapon in the world blessed with magical flames, their magic could not protect them, and their weapons, along with their bodies, were cut diagonally into four pieces and smashed on the ground that was already full of death.
In an instant, the pungent blood, the cold death, and the laughing fear of death occupied the floor of the library in a surging manner, and Cyber stood in place with his shoulders moving, the blade still stained with blood in his hand flung in the air, and the hellfire wrapped around the surface of the blade slowly licked the blade itself, making the air hotter and hotter.
Cyber's eyes were completely dark red and looked ahead, and there were the solemn face of the mage of Casillas and his only two remaining followers with terrified faces, and behind Cyber, the king, who had seen him attack with all his strength for the first time, also widened his eyes as he returned to the light.
He had probably never seen such a horrific killing in his life, and even in the face of a mysterious mage, he was still... Chopping melons and vegetables, destroying the withering and decaying, the corners of Cyber's mouth flashed a trace of bloodthirsty hideousness, his legs were exerted again, and the whole person rushed forward again, accompanied by the sound of the ground crumbling, and his cold voice,
"Frankly, I've been in a terrible mood lately, and staying here is like being in a cage, and I really want to chop something to vent, so let's make a long story short, next, who's going to die?"
