Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Carnival of Beasts (1)
Seeing Jiang Chenchuan's figure surrounded by firelight, under the swing of the blade, the clown let out a sharp scream, and there was a noisy noise in her ears, Rena felt endless malice emanating from the Colosseum, engulfing Jiang Chenchuan.
I had never seen such a scene, and I was so scared that I couldn't even say a complete sentence, but my brain began to spin unexpectedly.
"What should I do, what should I do?"
There was a cry in the panicked voice, even if he was so scared, he could think that the ritual was not completely completed, as long as he destroyed the magic circle, he could save Jiang Chenchuan.
Thinking of this, Rena tore off her obstructive skirt with her bare hands and began to run around the circus, the blazing flames that would burn endlessly as soon as they touched the flesh, even with water.
Snow fell from the pale sky, fell on the flames, and soon melted by the heat, realizing that the flames would soon overwhelm the entire Colosseum, and that no one would survive, the instinct for survival prompted them to rush towards the gate, only to find that the exit had long been sealed.
Rena gritted her teeth and turned to run upstairs towards Kevin Koskolin's room.
No one wants to leave, no one wants to live, if Jiang Chenchuan hadn't found the body earlier, maybe he could have brought more people to the funeral.
It was a winter feast and the Joker's last gift to Pornia.
The sharp blade unleashed the flames of hell, and the silver that enveloped the Revolt and Order pierced Kevin Koscolin's heart, slicing through the flesh with ease, sending the heat of the flames into the wound.
It's a cold winter, and the clown is smiling, and it's extremely happy, like a prison bird that has broken free and can finally fly to the free sky.
"Thank you."
Close to his ear, Kevin Koskolin whispered to Jiang Chenchuan, it was a voice that only the two of them could hear, and it was actually an unexpected thanks.
Blood dripped down the tip of the sword, brilliant light lit up from the ground, and the soul-devouring demon finally smiled with satisfaction, and the shadow light danced hideously.
Click-
The compass of time turned, and everything around seemed to slow down.
The man crouched beside Turne Claes, reached out to probe his snort, and let out an exclamatory sound:
"He's still alive."
"Go back!"
Jiang Chenchuan's face was stained with blood, and he looked hideous and fierce.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to make trouble."
He stood up, ignoring the cold hatred in Jiang Chenchuan's eyes, came through the sea of fire, looked at Kevin Koskolin's corpse with a scrutinizing gaze, and even reached out and touched the top of his head.
As if touching something, an almost imperceptible thin thread appeared in his hand, which was the contempt that Jiang Chenchuan's face had never shown, and the man let out a cold snort:
"Insect carving skills."
With his hand, he wiped the flames from Jiang Chenchuan's body, and the beating and burning light was reflected in his black pupils, more like a trace of struggle in the bottomless darkness.
"Don't thank me, it's a gift from original sin."
"You'd better not act rashly."
In Jiang Chenchuan's warning, he waved his hand, made his position clear, and with the remaining flames, he turned around and walked into the sea of fire, leaving only one sentence:
"Live, you don't deserve to die here."
Click-
Time returns to peace, and distortions occur in this space, but this small change does not attract people's attention.
When Rena pushed open the door, she found that the summoned circle had been activated, and there was an essential difference between preventing the start of the ritual and interrupting the ritual, the alchemy method had been passed down for thousands of years with many cumbersome steps, and the greater the impact, the more conditions that needed to be achieved, and the more difficult it was to interrupt.
No one knows how long Kevin Koskolin has been preparing for today, and for an aristocratic student like Rena who only knows a little about the skin, it is a bit reluctant to set up an "interrupted" circle.
The restrictions of the rules are like layers of shackles, all active life is bound in them, as long as under the rules, everyone is equal, and awakening, like breaking the first layer of rules, new rules are born.
Whew-
In order to relieve the tension, Rena took a deep breath to calm herself, she took off the necklace around her neck, and at some point, the ring glowed slightly.
Although she had never used it, she knew that this ring inherited by the Brittage family had a special power similar to that of flame, and maybe it could come in handy here.
Thoughts froze in the fingertips, the emerald pupils, and the fire elf-like creature reborn under the guidance of the ring, stretched its fists and feet, looked around blankly, and scratched its head to look at Rena, as if she didn't know what to do.
The ritual works, in accordance with the basic rules of alchemy, layered on top of each other, gradually taking its place.
Boom!
It was the sound of stones hitting the glass that caught Rena's attention, and she turned to see a terrifying scene.
There was a figure standing outside the window on the second floor, mixed with the vast white snow, tapping the glass in front of him, it was obviously such a fragile thing, but it became unshakable at this moment, as if it was connected to the entire space through the magic circle.
"Ethan!"
Wiping away the frost and mist from the glass with her hands, Rena leaned on the glass in surprise, looking at Ethan's mouth and seemingly saying something eagerly.
"Reverse ...... Turn...... What ......? ”
Rena couldn't see it very clearly, and could only vaguely recognize a few words, Ethan was equivalent to the highest level in the Atlas Alchemy Academy, and naturally there was a way to interrupt, but the murderer actually deliberately set up an isolation technique, once the magic circle was activated, the people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in.
"Large...... All...... Array Eye...... Deter...... Element...... What...... What do you mean? ”
After some difficult explanations, Ethan understood that Rena did not understand the basics of alchemy, and according to his own words, choosing a major is choosing life, and a profession like alchemy, from entry to earth, is nothing to learn.
"No way, she doesn't understand, I'm going to pass on the means to interrupt the ritual, Andrei, do you know anything about alchemy?"
Ethan pulled on the outer wall, looking at the light of the Colosseum, how to look wrong, and when he thought of a way, he found that the other party had arranged an isolation array in advance in order to deal with other alchemists.
Andre shook his head, only to see Yas raise his hand weakly on the side:
"I've learned, but ...... It has not yet passed the qualification review of the Alchemy Association. ”
"That's enough!"
Ethan clapped his hands with uncontrollable delight, and he patted Yas on the shoulder, smiling like a demon with kindness.
"Boy, do you want to go in and have fun?"
