To Lockwood's endless questions, Hecate, who had long since run out of patience, gave the most concise answer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's so long-winded!!"

Black claw strikes bloomed in the middle of the complex.

Boom Boom.

There was a loud bang, and even the ground shook like an earthquake.

The claw strikes of the black light came and went quickly, but in a moment, everything within fifty meters of the surrounding area was shattered, and even if they were much stronger than ordinary building materials, these buildings could not survive the unstoppable violence.

It can't be said that it can't be at all, because right in front of Hekate, at the edge of the claw strike range, a huge black stone ball is still lingering there.

The stone ball, which radiated a luster stronger than steel, was like a ball of mud that had accidentally fallen to the ground, and the thick outer wall was shattered, revealing the center.

Lockwood's body was protected in the center of the stone ball, and the power of the artifact burst out at the moment of life and death saved his life, but even so, his situation was far from being good, and it was a little reluctant to even say that he was fine.

The heart beats more often in the chest cavity as if it were trembling, the weakness but very fast, the pores of the whole body are swollen, the sweat flows outward like the water of an open floodgate, the pupils are dilated, and the vision is blurred, these are the after-effects of Lockwood's physical strength and magic being overdrawn.

It was a terrible blow, the shell of the orb generated by the artifact was peeled open countless times in just a few seconds, and if it wasn't regenerated fast enough, even if it was far harder than steel, it would not have been able to keep Lockwood unharmed.

But even so, the consumption of these few seconds was still beyond the limit of the artifact's endurance, and as a last resort, Lockwood desperately injected his magic into the artifact with a decisive mentality, and barely survived the catastrophe by luck.

However, it was the psychological damage that made Lockwood shudder the most than the physical burden, and no one knew better than him what had just happened.

Although the artifact in his hand is not defensive or offensive, it is also an artifact, and it is a realm of divine power that cannot be reached by manpower, but it is such a treasure, but it almost collapsed under the young girl in front of him, just like Hekate said before, that fragile posture is like a toy.

Hekate still had that nonchalant look, but Lockwood could now understand that it was simply the arrogance of being in a position of absolute invincibility.

"It seems that this toy really has a little bit of the qualifications to be sought after, and the power is not enough to be called a god, but it is also an interesting thing beyond the mortal class. ”

Lockwood used to think of this as childish and imprudent, but Lockwood can now understand that it is only due to the slackness of being in a position of absolute infall.

It doesn't get much more ironic than that.

Lockwood's eyes were blurred from the steady, and he couldn't figure out what it was as the monster in front of him who had reigned on the earth as a young girl.

Dragons, or elves? No, no, monsters are purer and larger than the two supposedly oldest races.

Demon.

In that moment, it was the name that came to Lockwood's mind. He took a deep breath, the pain in his lungs as if they were about to burst made him a little more sober, and now it was not a matter of guessing but to avoid further disastrous.

"Turn tangible things into walls and protect those illusory and fragile beautiful things, "Heavenly Iwado". ”

The newly restored magic from the artifact flowed out again, and the surrounding land began to move, squeezing, accumulating, squeezing, accumulating, and in a few moments, the pitch-black orb shell enveloped the area destroyed by Hecate.

The ninth-order magic - "Heavenly Iwato", the bulky posture of giving up flexibility and attack power is the greatest embodiment of this magic, the whole is like a clumsy giant turtle shell, but this turtle shell has enough defense power to protect a city in war, it is a defense that matches the appearance, whether from the outside or from the inside, it is enough to make the strong city wall have no place to be proud of itself.

In particular, Lockwood's abandonment of range and focus on strengthening defense has raised the defense of this magic to a notch

However, after all, this is only the magic of the ninth order, and it is still unknown how much effect this class can have on Hekate that ordinary people and ordinary magicians cannot touch in their lifetime, and it is a rather pessimistic unknown.

Therefore, Lockwood's purpose is not to use this to drag Hekate, but to use this magic to prevent people from outside from coming in and sending him to death.

The movement just now is too big, someone will come to check the situation soon, right?But this magic academy is full of some mid-to-upper level magicians, and the only one who is stronger than Lockwood is the branch dean Ejis, but Lockwood is holding an artifact This is a miserable situation, even if Aegis comes, it will only add to the loss.

Hekat looked amusedly at the spherical black wall that completely enveloped the surroundings, and she felt that Lockwood was so stupid that the trumpet one couldn't block him, so how sure was the big one?

Thinking of this, Hekate looked at Lockwood with sympathetic eyes and asked kindly.

"Why don't you remove this spell first, and then you can do it again when I get out?"

This can be regarded as Hekate's special care for stupid people, or rather a sense of superiority for stupid people.

Hearing Hekate's words, Lockwood grinned, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, this monster with the appearance of a young girl was indeed planning to further expand the disaster, no wonder he chose to use that conspicuous move in such a public spot, it seems that he intended to attract other magicians to annihilate him in one fell swoop, right?

Confirming this conjecture, Lockwood was even more glad that he had seen through the monster's tricks earlier, otherwise the magicians of the entire academy would be in danger.

However, there is another question that Lockwood cannot figure out, that is, why does Hekat not break the defense himself, but persuade himself to give up the defense, which can be solved far faster with that shuddering violence than by persuading himself.

- Looks like there's something else in there that I couldn't guess. In the end, Lockwood could only think so. (To be continued.) )
