Returning from the abyss

The monster born from the "filthy shadow" is difficult to deal with. Since it is a dead person, it cannot die in a normal form. At the same time, its attack power and defense power are not low. The chaotic magic power is enough to penetrate the body of most magicians. Protective magic, the pollution magic power dripping from the body also has the effect of hindering the magician, and now this solid external blockade effect can only last for a while.

Lista is also in trouble now. No matter how strong the attack power of the Chaos Ether is, it is not the kind of obliteration attack method. Even if she activates the Chaos Factor, she can't eat such a large group of polluted magic.

Gustav and Justina are similar, at most they can only achieve the current seal, and it is impossible to say that they can be eliminated.

The three of them discussed in low voices, and found that the best way now is to leave it alone, and wait until the magic power of pollution is exhausted by itself.

But this idea may not be accepted by everyone.Tsuburuta Sora died tragically in public, no one wanted to die like this, let alone stay on the same island with a monster.

"If you really want to destroy it..." Lista hesitated, "My third-level chaos magic has not been fully constructed yet."

"Semi-finished product... What is the worst effect?" Gustav asked.

"The room here may be torn off." Lista gestured, "The building of the main building may also become a dangerous building... I am not sure that the load-bearing structure here will not be damaged."

"It's okay to move out. After all, there are still eight annexes for people to live in. The problem lies in those in the restaurant." Gustav shook his head, one festering shadow is difficult enough to deal with, if there are eight more. Don't even think about keeping people on this island.

"And even if we do this, we still haven't figured out the most critical question, which is how a living person becomes like this. Dolores is not a magician, and the magic power on her body is the magic power accumulated on the island , but she didn’t blow it up like Tsuburaya Terakura.” Lista said seriously, “If this problem is not resolved, each of us is a hidden danger now!”

"What exactly was the situation?" Justina asked.

Lista described to the two of them what she saw in detail.

After listening to the story, the two were also silent, killing someone because of vengeful anger, and then there was a magic twist?This situation is not very reasonable in any kind of magic, and there should be no causal relationship between these things.

At this time, the monster was already hitting the fence crazily. It didn't seem to understand its own characteristics, but it just frantically used the knives that changed its body and fingers to constantly destroy the fence made of rainwater, which caused it to become like a knife-covered Like a hedgehog, in short, it is getting farther and farther away from the appearance of a human being.

This crazy move has already caused several people to take a few steps back, and the atmosphere is obviously becoming more and more uneasy.The apostle I saw before was a monster from the origin of magic, and it was barely acceptable, but now this is a living person who has changed into this, and it even seems to be contagious.

"Let's destroy it." Justina finally said, "We can't leave it. As for safety, let's try to arrange more protective magic on the outer layer. We need to ask Milia to open some channels for us so that we can Harness the magic of the island."

Gustav reluctantly agreed.

The three of them did what they said, and soon, with Miria's permission, they arranged layer after layer of enchantment spells and position spells outside the room.In fact, in theory, even an apostle can restrain such strong magic for a period of time. The problem is that the things in the room really make the magician feel uncertain.

After Gustav said that the preparations were complete and everyone outside the room had evacuated, Lista began to prepare her own magic.

Compared with the already proficient two-level chaos magic, this unskilled magic requires certain preparations, so it cannot be applied in normal battles at all.With the flicking of her fingers, the magic power of the chaotic ether began to condense into irregular forms, and it even began to "struggle" in front of Lista, looking like it would lose control at any time.

However, Lista still stabilized her magic on this boundary.

"No solution, chaotic transformation."

Saying the name of magic is a key step in injecting magic power into magic. After that, magic power completely takes on the form in the real world. It is a mass of dark matter and also a mass of pitch-black energy. It presents the nature of the unity of opposites. It is one of the evolutions of the chaotic ether, and it is also the most powerful magic that Lista can control at present.

Its function is not the destruction of the explosion type, but the "transformation" as its name suggests. The properties of all substances in the area affected by the magic power explosion will be randomly changed, which may be more dangerous or safer, but no matter how it changes, it The changes are all at the ether level, so everything will become chaotic and unable to form a whole, and everything will collapse, even the distorted magic power is no exception.

When the unstable blob of magic power swelled to the limit of her control, Lista threw it into the one-way passage opened by Gustav, and the monster inside seemed to sense the threat, and instantly threw it All the knives that grew out were shot out, intending to intercept the magic in the air.

This is of course impossible.

Magic exploded in the chamber.

The room that had just been baptized by the explosion suddenly distorted, or in other words, it only distorted within people's field of vision.It seems that countless vortexes are blooming in the room, making people dazzled.Even Lu Ning felt a palpitation at this moment. She realized that this attack seemed to be able to cause damage to the tourists' bodies. Although she didn't know the reason, she could feel Lista's strong will.

As each vortex returned to normal, the room disappeared.

The properties of all the substances in the original room were fundamentally changed, some turned into gas volatilized, some turned into liquid and penetrated into the soil underground, and some turned into irregular stones mixed with various metals , and the monster that stood up to resist has completely disappeared. Under the random transformation, its body has only one arm left, which is still intact, but it is also riddled with holes like a tree trunk eaten by moths.

The bad news is that the protective magic prepared by Gustav also failed to block it.

It's not his fault, because even Lista herself doesn't know how powerful this magic can be. She tried her best to kill that broken shadow, and the result was that the outer defensive barrier also collapsed layer by layer. With this room as the center, a spherical space with obvious uneven surface was dug out of the main building structure by this magic.

The building of the main building was obviously not designed to survive the loss of such a large piece of building, and Lista could already hear the walls start to creak and whine, and the upper floors began to fall downwards. Cracked wood and stones.

"Lista! Come here!" Miria yelled anxiously.

Lista glanced emotionally at the crack formed in the room.Although the main building will not completely collapse, most of the rooms on this side may not be able to keep.

She ran to the hall, and finally there was the sound of the building collapsing behind her. One side of the main building collapsed. Although it did not completely collapse, the entire side was also blocked, and the rooms on this side must have also collapsed. are no longer available.The icy rain seeped in from the cracks in the broken roof, not only did not give people a sense of freshness, but there was a rancid smell.

"Ah... uh..."

Watanabe Fuko suddenly grabbed her chest, her face turned blue, and everyone immediately looked at her warily. She waved her hand and said, "I'm just... a little uncomfortable. Why did things become like this?"

"We just resolved a crisis." Lista said, "But why such a strange thing happened, we haven't got the answer yet."

"Isn't that Dolores crazy?" Jack frowned. "What was she screaming? I didn't hear clearly. It seems to have something to do with the Howard family?"

"Her killing Saotome Arisa has something to do with the Howard family, but this has nothing to do with the changes in her. It doesn't happen if people have a strong desire for revenge, otherwise the world would have been in chaos."

"That……"

"This is the question I want to ask you." Lista interrupted Jack's question forcefully, "Who was with Dolores and Tsuburani Temple in the end? Who let these two people guard there ? What strange movements do they have?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after announcing the time when they last saw the two, it was Pan Shen who raised his hand.

"It looks like... it's me?"

"You?" Lista raised her eyebrows.

"Because everyone is busy, I'll take the meals for you all by myself. After all, it's not regular to have breakfast in this state." Pan Shen rubbed his hands a little cautiously, "Ms. Dolores and Mr. Tsuburani Terasa has not been in a good state these two days, Mrs. Saotome... well, they can't eat anything, so I prepared black tea and desserts for them, hoping to make them a little happier."

"Is there something wrong with the meal?" Lu Ning asked doubtfully.

"We all ate..." Han Xizhe squeezed his throat uncomfortably, "Isn't it?"

Lista recalled that when she entered the room before, her attention was mainly attracted by the corpse and the crazy Dolores, and she didn't notice other things in the room.However, Lu Ning knows that Pan Shen is a certain tourist, and tourists should not engage in such things that can end the scene early. She has much less doubts about Pan Shen, unless Pan Shen also encounters the kind of "not controlled by tourists" Special case.

"Everyone, can we...not be here?" Makalov raised his hand and said in a not-so-loud voice, "I feel short of breath, maybe it's not just Ms. Watanabe, I also feel very uncomfortable. It seems There is a bloody smell that keeps swirling around the nose..."

Yu Guiting, Schlitter and the others also nodded. They also had similar feelings, but it was not as serious as Watanabe Fuko.Gustav frowned, and quickly walked towards the collapsed corridor, using a cup he picked up from the table to catch some rainwater flowing from the gap.

The water was light gray in color, and there were many thin red lines that were barely visible to the naked eye. The bloody smell came from the rainwater.Gustav took the water glass back and put it on the table.

"Lista, did you create this thing?"

"Impossible, there will never be such a large piece of homogeneous and complete substance under that magic." Lista looked at the water glass, she knew that the rain here was not clean, but now it has turned into such a situation ?Can someone like her take the initiative to show her original shape without touching her?
"Is it something to do with the rain?" Escher asked.

"The room has been destroyed, we can't restore the scene." Lista said, "But since everyone feels uncomfortable, let's leave first, we need to purify the magic here... Oh, yes, next, I hope everyone stays together for the time being and not separated, I don't want this to happen again."

"Let's go to the kitchen." Yu Guiting suggested, "Just to rule out the chef's suspicion, let's check the ingredients more, otherwise it won't be good if you don't even feel at ease after eating."

Yu Guiting's proposal was quickly approved by the majority of people, and Lista also allocated half of the servants to help. Soon, only Milia, Subbia, and Esher were left here. There are only a few people in Seoul.

"Everyone, this rain...is unusual."

After everyone had left, Gustav said in a deep voice.

"You know?" Lista asked.

"That was many years ago, at... Elena's funeral." Gustav said.

"Grandma's funeral?"

"I remembered." Justina also recalled.

"Renix personally prepared the funeral. On the day of the funeral, the sky was cloudy. When the coffin was buried and the hymn was played, heavy rain fell from the sky, similar to now. At that time, there was a faint smell of blood in the rain, but because Outside, most people don't notice it."

"But top magicians can still feel it. Elena's funeral was only attended by some of Renix's closest relatives, and there were not many magicians among them." Justina also recalled the situation that day.

"Then what exactly is this rain? A kind of magic?" Miria asked.

"It can't be counted." Gustav glanced at Lista before continuing, "It's related to magic, but it's normal for Lista not to know, because it can't be recorded in writing, it can only be taught in words. This kind of rain symbolizes the breaking of the unfinished contract. Since the origin of magic cannot punish the deceased for breaking the contract, it will be turned into rain. According to the level of the unfinished contract, it contains some harmful etheric attributes, but for ordinary people It is at most the level of a bad cold, and magicians are immune to a lot of harm, after all, this is a remnant of a targeted magic contract."

"Wait, I have a question." Lista raised her hand, "Where did grandma's funeral take place?"

"Don't you know?" Gustav was a little surprised.

Escher answered the question directly: "It's right here, miss, your grandmother, Ms. Elena, is buried on Bachimejima."
