Chapter 242: The End of the Third Week
"How can I say it......"
Annan said to Elle subtly: "This kind of irascible brother of the school of destruction is quite easy to understand in a sense. ”
Once you have an understanding...... That's really just a pouting of the ass and you know what shit is.
The fundamental idea of destroying wizards is the theory of deterrence.
They are particular about a momentum - so the more good they are, or the more they think they are good, the less they will actively destroy.
Their spells are incredibly powerful, and they can easily smash walls, shatter mountains, and burn cities, but they usually choose the type with the least movement and destruction as long as they can accomplish their purpose.
This is to maintain one's own "calmness". In order to facilitate the maintenance of "deterrence".
…… This is because the Wizard of Destruction does not possess the defensive capabilities to match their destructive power.
Without terrain tools such as fortresses, airships, and towers that are convenient for casting spells, they will usually be in an awkward situation of "a kill radius of 10 kilometers and a cast radius of 1 kilometer".
Because of this, the Sorcerer of Destruction has developed another sub-school of spells.
Just like the idol school has a distinction between the "law of similarity" and the "law of touch".
A subset of Wizards of Destruction, specializing in instantaneous spells. It is also known as "silent destruction".
Annan had used Arthur's body and experienced his fighting style in his prey nightmares—Arthur's fighting method back then was obviously to release his floating cannon first, and then to infinitely cover high-altitude bombardment.
And now, naturally, Arthur can't forget that way of fighting.
However, because Arthur was the one who was left by Celicia to watch over the house in "Silver", he had never seen Elle turn into an angel at all. He was inhaled into a nightmare without warning and without knowing anything at all.
In his opinion, Elle is an ordinary ritual master...... Because she doesn't even have a carrying load.
This means that she is not cursed. Naturally, it can't be transcendent.
There really is nothing wrong with Arthur's reasoning.
It's just that he subconsciously ignored another possibility: there is no curse, except for ordinary people...... There are also gods and saints.
They had switched to the Holy Covenant, and the power of the covenant was so strong that they no longer needed a carrier to bear the spell.
So in the face of such a cute girl who is not even a transcendent person, Arthur is still a very gentleman, and chooses to use instant death spells to instantly erase the other party. Instead of burning her alive.
The first spell to use was an instant spell called "Death Contact". Whether it's a handshake or direct contact with someone's exposed skin, it can trigger ...... It only takes ten seconds to maintain contact to make it die instantly and painlessly.
The specific cause of death was that the brain was instantly melted into pulp.
And the spell he would use later, the instant death spell called "cardiac arrest", was all too common.
Because it was a silver-level destruction wizard, the most powerful killing spell that could be used - it only needed to consume a pure red ordinary glove to crush a person's heart in the air.
It's a powerful spell that's almost impossible to resist.
Even a gold-level transcendent must be immune to the elemental power protector. If you are unguarded and are attacked like this, you will be killed instantly.
It also has a lot of restrictions...... For example, it can only be used once every thirteen days, the other party must be within the range of perception, there can be no third person in the middle to block it, and the two are looking at each other at the moment of the curse.
But that doesn't change the fact that it's the most powerful spell the School of Destruction can master. The materials are easy to obtain, the consumption is low, and there is no need for any chanting.
This is only an order spell, and it will not increase its erosion when used - and if it hits, the opponent's strong person who can survive even without a heart will be hit by it in an instant.
It has only one flaw.
That's a kind of "instant death" effect...... There are rituals dedicated to resisting death, and there are also low-end spells that can do this. For example, the hunter brother whom Annan had seen in Roseburg, who had been beaten by Arthur...... He specially prepared a spell against the spell of instant death.
This was clearly a preparation for Arthur as an imaginary enemy.
And Elle, as an angel in the dual realms of "bones" and "betrayal", has the special ability of reflection and death.
Insert a sentence,[ Source Change Artifact APP] is really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many book sources, all books, and fast updates!
If it weren't for Annan's desire to fool a little more information from him, after shaking hands at the beginning, you could see that Arthur died violently on the spot.
- Yes.
Annan kept retreating before, not to protect "himself"...... It's to try to keep Arthur alive a while longer and not be shot to death by himself.
And after Arthur also died, Elle asked in a low voice in her heart.
【…… Aren't you afraid, Annan? 】
"Afraid of what?"
Annan said with some surprise.
He has no grudge against you, no hatred for you, just wants to kill you. And in his opinion, his actions are even just......]
"What's there to be afraid of?"
Annan sighed, "It's you who are too kind, Elle. You're not kind anymore, you're almost weak. ”
[But ......]
"It's just an ordinary interaction."
Annan used Elle's body to show a merciful smile like a virgin: "It's just ...... Strangers kill each other for victory.
"He wants to dominate this nightmare, and I want to. And there is only one person who can dominate everything...... So I ask you, Elle - who do you trust more? Or, who do you think will be left to do this so that more people can survive? ”
【…… It can only be you, Annan. He only seems to care about Miss Celicia and Lucia, so ......]
“…… Forget it, it's too much of a bully to ask you like this. ”
Annan smiled and didn't ask any further.
The emerald eyes of "Elle" also became dark and deep under the night sky, which was already completely dull.
- After Arthur's death, the sky grew darker.
The surrounding street lamps crackled and glowed,
It's only nine o'clock in the evening, but it's supposed to be the finals. Except for Longjing Tea, the rest of the people should have almost died.
Just then, the sound of rushing runs came from outside the alley.
Longjing Cha's figure flashed from outside.
"—here!"
"Elle" said.
Soon, Longjing tea followed the sound and poured back.
He saw the white-robed Elle standing alone in the depths of the alley, while Arthur fell to the ground in a position with his left hand outstretched forward, as if to say, "Don't stop."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"I saw you disappear for so long, I thought you were attacked or crazy......"
Long Jingcha complained: "I was so scared that I hurriedly chased after me. ”
"It's not a big problem, it's all expected."
"Elle" lowered her head, glanced at Arthur's corpse, and then looked at Longjing Tea, showing a gentle and innocent smile: "Now it's only you...... Do you do it yourself? ”
“…… If you come, won't it hurt a little? ”
"I don't think there's much difference."
"Then I'd better do it myself."
Long Jingcha said simply: "I'll leave the rest to you, boss!" ”
With that, he raised his gun, opened the safety and aimed it at his forehead.
The next moment, the spell was activated - it directly shattered Longjing Cha's head.
Such a crisp and neat death deeply shocked Elle.
Why did he ...... Can you face death with such courage? 】
"That's the difference between me and Arthur, Elle."
Annan said leisurely: "Arthur, all he asks for is to be alone. Although he behaved elegantly and calmly, this was to hide his true nature as a loser - back then, he vowed to become a gold-level big man. But now he doesn't even mention it.
"His message has already been struck. He's just convincing himself.
"And Longjing tea they are different. It is because they know ...... By any means, I must win; What I want is a perfect victory for the most benevolent and the best. Therefore, even under any circumstances, I will never run away-"
That's why they still choose to believe in me between life and death.
They will give me hope of escaping this nightmare.
Before Annan could finish speaking, the darkening night had already opened its fangs.
From the top down, it engulfs everything in the world.
When Annan opened his eyes again, he woke up in a room with a great sense of déjà vu.
This is what he has seen in gallery nightmares......
— Elle's bedroom.
