Chapter Seventy-One: Insect Elimination
Trees are melted, the land is eroded, animals are reduced to stubble of nutrients, the once neat woods are devastated, and the black weed monsters are like an unstoppable night, silently but inviolably taking everything around them into their mouths.
"Transcendent magic....... ”
No one can see the horror of this magic better than Hancock standing on a high place, it is not a nightmare, after all, even the most terrible nightmare will eventually wake up, and this magic will leave the ugly scars on this land forever.
Man-made scourges.
There is no better way to describe it.
That's the power of magic. As a special means that allows mortals to exercise extraordinary powers, it is undoubtedly a powerful force that can allow weak humans to gain a foothold in the world, but the power beyond the user's ability to control has a vicious demonic nature, and if you are not careful, you will be dragged down the path of destruction.
Any power is a double-edged sword, there is no doubt about it, but this double-edged sword called "magic" has been sharpened too sharp, both on the enemy's side and on one's own.
Hancock glanced at Einstein with a heavy heart, and in his opinion, this young man who exercised the power of destruction but still smiled as usual was a manifestation of the loss of humanity under the demonic temptation of power
If you are young, you have the power that others cannot obtain in your lifetime, and it is inevitable that you will make mistakes, but as long as human nature is not extinguished, there is still salvation.
"Ahhh
Along with the screams in the depths of the woods, there is also an explosion of flames, an explosion that is too strange in time and place for only one explanation, and that is magic.
None of the other contestants who came to the final were magicians, so it was obvious that the person who screamed was what Einstein called a 'bug'.
The scream made Einstein curl the corners of his mouth with pleasure.
"I can't cope with such a little change, and it seems that these bugs are not as tenacious as I thought. ”
Einstein is not the type of Ai Xuan who kills chickens with a knife, and the reason why he uses superposition magic at the beginning is very simple, that is, to guard against the possibility that the other party is related to demons, but now it seems that Einstein is thinking too much, and it is impossible to send such a layman by means of one person.
"It's Albert Einstein, it's a beautiful job. ”
The screams and explosions proved Einstein right, much to Lucia's pride.
"But I'm glad you found out, I think I'm about as capable as you, but I didn't notice it at all. ”
Receiving praise from his owner made Einstein happier than any treasure in the world, and Einstein even wanted to thank the bugs who offered him the opportunity.
"Of course, I have carried out all kinds of training in order to deal with the situation in the middle, and my duty is to solve problems for my lord, if I can't do this kind of small thing well, how can I have the face to accompany my lord. ”
During the time of the conversation between the master and servant, screams and explosions sounded one after another, and they were getting closer and closer, as if the insects were preparing to fight back to the death.
Every scream may be the loss of a human life, which made Hancock's face sink. Indeed, Hancock has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to taking the lives of others, and he is also used to losing the lives of people in front of him, but those people are all going to the end of their lives with dignity, rather than being exterminated like pests like this, this attitude of disregard for life makes Hancock sad and angry, which is not the attitude that human beings should have.
"Enough, Einstein. ”
Not at all surprised that Hancock would stop him, Einstein just smiled as usual at the old man with sadness and anger in his eyes.
"Don't worry, these bugs can't get even half a step close to us, I promise. ”
This attitude of not even bothering to do anything perfunctory made Hancock point the tip of his sword at Einstein again.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about. ”
Hancock's muscles tensed, and the light of the magic pattern lit up through his clothes, and this gesture of preparation for war silently showed his determination to use force at any cost.
"It's time to stop, there's no need to kill them all when you don't even know if the other party is hostile. ”
It seemed that Hancock's threat had worked, and Einstein frowned, and the smile on his face became reluctant.
Although Einstein did not directly agree, Hancock was relieved, at least if Einstein had seriously considered himself, it would prove that the other party had not reached the point of hopelessness.
Einstein looked at Hancock with this expression, and it was a short time, maybe half a minute, maybe a minute. For human beings, this is really a short time, but such a short time, some people can't afford it.
At some point, the sound of the explosion and the screams died down.
Hancock, who realized what was going on, turned pale, and Einstein's gentle smile was contrasted.
"Well, I thought maybe I could let these bugs go. ”
As he said this, Einstein leaned his palm against his ear and made an exaggerated 'listen' gesture.
"It's a pity that our bug guests seem to have gone somewhere else first. ”
Hancock's anger erupted along with the glow of the magic pattern on his body. He was tricked, and this bastard young man had no intention of sparing anyone from the beginning.
This time Hancock guessed correctly, Einstein did not intend to let go of any bugs from the beginning, since these bugs dared to go around the owner, it was necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and would rather kill the wrong 10,000, Einstein would not allow that possible threat.
"Bastard! Let me teach you how to be a man today!!"
In the face of Hancock's roar, Einstein still maintained a gentle smile on his face, and humans who didn't even know magic had no value in making Einstein serious.
Einstein cared more about another thing than this kind of anger that only made the ear suffer.
Judging from the feeling of the magic feedback, it is not that all bugs have been annihilated, and one bug has somehow escaped from the attack of Einstein's supernatural magic, although it is hard to believe, but it is true.
But it doesn't matter, even if you can escape from the 'grass and trees', it is only to be able to survive for a while, Einstein's heterochromatic eyes quickly swept through all directions, and soon found the fish that slipped through the net.
"Is it there? ”
There is an area in the air where the light is not noticeably deflected, which means that something is there that is invisible to the naked eye.
"I see, flying is a good way to avoid attacks from the ground, but if this simple method can work, it's too disappointing for over-position magic. ”
With that, Einstein stretched out his left hand and waved from the bottom up.
With Einstein's movements, the weed monsters that were originally raging on the ground began to entangle and entangle each other, and in less than a second, they gathered into a hundred-meter-long black python, and the next moment, the black python roared silently towards a corner of the sky.
The hundred-meter-long behemoth suddenly moved, like a physical storm, and lifted the nearby surface as well.
Hancock in the tree was in a position that was inconvenient to stand on, and he bore the brunt of the aftermath of the python's movement, thanks to Hancock's immediate grasp of the trunk of the tree, he was swept away by the air current.
Lucia's treatment is very different from Hancock's, and at the moment when the giant python was formed, the weeds and monsters around it formed a barrier to protect Lucia.
The black python bit the fish in the air with a momentum as if it was about to bite the sky, and at the moment when the two came into contact, an old but powerful voice came out clearly.
"Empty Wall Mirror Shield!!"
This was followed by a deafening sound, which alone would make one think that it was a mountain collapse.
The black python seemed to have been hit by an invisible kind, and could no longer maintain its shape, and began to disintegrate as it bounced off, disintegrating back into a black weed monster before it could fully fall back to the ground, and then dissipated into the air.
"At least the cascading damage caused by caving was avoided, wasn't it?"
His own attack was sabotaged by a counterattack, but Einstein was not surprised or flustered at all, just smiling and joking with the embarrassed Hancock.
