Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 195 An old friend’s murderous intention

Night falls.

Out of curiosity, Shenyuan Yi did not rest, but looked at the night outside with a thoughtful expression.

Hiding in the corner, Mr. and Mrs. Mizuno Yoshihiko said nothing. They were used to being silent sculptures at night.

Mizuno Shiina, who was still young, silently opened her clear eyes and looked at the divine source standing there. Soon her eyes widened because the divine source in her field of vision suddenly disappeared there.

Mizuno Yoshihiko held his granddaughter's finger pointing there, then pressed her back, signaling her to be silent and go to sleep.

Of course, the disappeared Shenyuanyi went outside the village, because he found traces of curses in the night, and there were quite a lot of them.

"Gu~gu~"

It was a toad that was slightly larger than a millstone, but its limbs were not those of a webbed amphibian, but the limbs of a beast covered with hair.

Moreover, its mouth was also full of sharp teeth, which was extremely strange. Seeing the curse spirit opening its mouth after discovering itself, Shenyuan Yi first tested its strength.

And what Shenyuan saw was just a little shadow cast by the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Parade' in this area. He looked up at the wilderness without high-rise buildings and steel jungles. They were now out of the realm of the human world.

In Shenyuan Yi's hand, he held an ancient cursed knife. In that slash that was too fast to be caught, its slightly curved blade did not leave even a trace of stain after killing the cursed spirit. Down.

As a line of blood shot out that split it in two, the body of the cursed spirit split into two halves in the air and fell to the ground.

But now it seems more appropriate to regard it as a curse.

There are not that many curse spirits wandering in the night at this moment, but their number is definitely not small, but the most important thing is: they are not controlled by any existence, which means that these curse spirits with different auras are all autonomous. Wandering around in the night.

It's just that the curse spirit seems to have become a 'dead' state, and has lost the possibility of transforming again and restoring its original body.

After noticing the undisguised trace of Shenyuan Yi, it rushed over at a pace of several meters.

"This is the age of spells and the age of curses..."

But this thing only looks a bit bluffing, and even if compared to the curse spirit, it is actually just like that. The curse attack from the divine source is easily absorbed into its body.

Yes, as Shenyuan traveled through time and space and came to the Heian Era, everything on his body actually remained intact. Even the earrings made by the curse spirit and some of the things placed in them were safe and sound.

A quasi-special-grade curse tool - Doji Kiriyanzuna.

After the curse spirit screamed in pain, it realized that its roar attack was ineffective and flew over. However, its body suddenly froze when it approached Shenyuan Yi.

The first person to arrive was a tall, thin, somewhat human-shaped cursed spirit, but a human body would not be more than three meters tall, with arms that could hang down to his calves.

The appropriate amount of spell power was condensed and formed, and then hit the spell spirit like a bullet. Then after the opponent noticed Shenyuan Yi's attack, he opened his mouth and let out a roar that was just like a frog's cry.

This is the real Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

After killing this curse spirit, there was a rustling sound in the night, which was other curses attracted by the fluctuation of the curse power just now.

Shenyuan murmured, comparing the chaos caused by Xia Youjie with the situation in his eyes now, the former's so-called "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade" was already far inferior.

This cursed spirit looks like a scary, tall, thin figure with only one eye and a wide mouth on its face.

The concept of modern spells made Shenyuanyi feel a little heavy. Although this era did not seem to have no protection for ordinary people, the tragic situation of these people had made him realize how unsatisfactory this protection was.

It's not measured by the number of curses. After all, the gathering of thousands of curse spirits is still quite astonishing.

"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade..."

Shenyuan Yi, who wanted to see the "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade" again, had not left. After killing the curse spirit again, he even took the initiative to face a large number of curses approaching here.

A human-faced owl, a head the size of a small house floating in the air, a curse with a pointed beak that resembles a "kappa"...

After killing dozens of cursed spirits one after another, it seemed that the strange movement here was too obvious, and all the cursed spirits in this large area seemed to be attracted.

There would have been fights among them originally, but at this moment, when the source of the gods is unscrupulously distributing the fluctuations of its own spell power, they have only one goal: to tear into pieces the existence that makes them salivate, and then devour all its flesh and blood. !

As a result, these gathered curse spirits formed a wave of curses, roaring towards the source of the gods, threatening to drown him in it.

"That's enough, let's end it..."

The wheel of time turns

Entering this realm that seems to transcend the world, Shenyuan transforms into a ghost in time, and the cursed knife in his hand ruthlessly harvests the defenseless cursed spirits.

When the flow of time returned to normal, less than a breath of time had passed in reality. The incoming curse spirits all froze, and in the next moment, blood of various colors different from humans turned into a heavy rain and rose into the sky.

"If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid it will attract more curse spirits. That doesn't make much sense. It's time to withdraw."

Shenyuan first cleared away the traces at the scene, of course, mainly the traces of spells, and then he collected the breath from his body before going back.

It was still some distance away from the village, but he couldn't help but guard against the possibility of being cursed and finding his breath, even though the dilapidated village also had some protection against this.

That protective measure is a Buddha statue in the center of the village. It is said that it is a Buddha statue, but Shenyuan Yi only inferred it through its posture.

The face and image of the statue, which is as tall as a person, have been worn away by wind, rain and the passage of time. Only the damaged arms are still hanging in the air holding handprints.

And this thing is the barrier here, and it is also a big reason why those who live in this place can still survive to this day.

However, the effectiveness of this barrier has been very bad. According to Shenyuanyi's inference, it has become a candle in the wind. Barriers like this need to be repaired regularly by magicians.

But how could such a thing be done here? How could anyone be willing to stay here and do such a drop in the bucket just for the sake of those deformed children who don't know how long they can live?

What Shenyuanyi can do is to reinforce it when he leaves in the future.

Returning to the dilapidated house, Shenyuan Yi spent the night meditating in the corner. Like these people, he turned a deaf ear to the weird noises in the night and became a part of this dead village in the night.

The next day.

What woke up Shenyuan Yi was the noise in the village. After opening his eyes, Mizuno Yoshihiko and his father also woke up, and the three of them went out to see what was going on. Although the voice was a little noisy, there was no sign of distress or panic. Therefore, Mizuno Yoshihiko did not look panicked because he knew that most of the people outside were not similar to those who would take their lives before.

After the three people went out, they saw a group of misfits. Although they looked like slaves, their clothes and mental appearance were much better than the group of people staying in the village.

Behind them stood several men with swords hanging on their waists and sharp eyes. Although there were no spellcasters, these men also kept those who peeked out of curiosity at a distance.

At a glance, these people knew that they were retainers and slaves of a certain noble family. As for the purpose of their coming here, many people could actually guess it. After all, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but it is relatively rare for nobles. That’s all.

"They are here to throw away their taboos."

Shenyuan looked at Mizuno Yoshihiko, and then seemed to understand something. He pointed to the better-hidden deformed children in this village.

"Are they just like them? Didn't they say that nobles would support spellcasters to protect them? Will they also be corroded by the curse?"

Mizuno Yoshihiko considered the words for a while and then explained: "Sir, you are the kindest magician I have ever seen or heard. Those magicians basically don't regard people like us as human beings. "

"Even nobles and weaker ones are not qualified to support those powerful magicians, and the magicians recruited by them may not be able to subdue some demons when they face them."

"So although it's rare, it's not uncommon for this kind of thing to happen among nobles."

Once the source of God is clear, we only need to put the curse master of this era into a situation close to the curse master to understand. With this power that ordinary people cannot resist at all, the mentality of treating oneself as a higher existence is not can not imagine.

Aren't all those curse masters basically like this? As for abandoning children affected by curses, this kind of thing still happens in the relatively more orderly modern times, not to mention abandoning some cursed deformed children in this era.

After this group of servants arrived, they just stood at the entrance of the village, saying nothing and not reacting to the people in the village.

It wasn't until the two carriages arrived that they greeted them respectfully and helped a man in gorgeous clothes who looked pampered to get out of the carriage in front.

The middle-aged man glanced at the dilapidated village with disgust, then waved his hand to signal his servants to take out the 'thing'.

An old slave and two strong young men took out a large ball of cloth from the carriage behind.

The layers of thick cloth covered it like an angular object, but looking at the expressions of the two men carrying it, it seemed that there was some kind of monster inside that people could not avoid.

The nobleman still said nothing and stood far away from here. He just instructed his men to complete all these matters.

After placing the 'cloth balls' on the ground, those people moved some things that looked like food from behind. In modern times, I'm afraid not many people would eat these things, but now you can tell by looking at the impatient expressions of the refugees. This thing is still attractive in this era.

At least for these ordinary people, Shenyuanyi seemed to have guessed something, and then turned to Mizuno Yoshihiko to confirm his guess: "Are these foods for the purpose of giving final blessings to the cursed children when they are abandoned? ?”

Of course, this kind of thing is impossible among ordinary people nowadays. They don't have enough food to eat, but it doesn't seem surprising if it is placed among such nobles.

But unexpectedly, Mizuno Yoshihiko's words overturned Shen Yuanyi's guess. The former was almost used to some of his incompatible ideas, so he explained carefully at the moment.

"No, sir, this is to completely clear the relationship with those taboo children. They are afraid that the curse on those children will find them again, so they use these things to give to these people who stay in the 'ghost village'. It can be regarded as... a Plant tribute."

"Ha ha……"

Shenyuan Yi finally saw it again, but he just changed his mind and actually didn't have any expectations for them.

The food was put aside, and then the two servants uncovered the cloth, revealing an iron cage.

And inside was indeed a child who was also wrapped in cloth. The shadowy crowd blocked him and Shenyuan Yi could not see the child clearly at the first time.

Then those people carried it to the "Ghost Village" as if facing a formidable enemy, and only then did Shenyuan Yi see its true appearance.

However, just such a glance made Shenyuan feel as if he had been struck by thunder, and his originally calm eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade.

In a flash, he disappeared next to Mizuno Yoshihiko, and when he reappeared, he was blocking the front of the group of people.

Facing such an uninvited guest, the noble's men naturally felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. After all, the way he showed up could not be that of an ordinary person.

"He...is your child?"

This sentence popped out between his teeth, but Shen Yuanyi's eyes were locked on the deformed child in the cage.

The noble suddenly encountered this change. He only panicked for a moment and immediately called his men to stand in front of him.

The thugs with knives drew out their blades and surrounded him with cruel eyes, but what they were facing now was Shenyuan Yi who was in an abnormal mood.

Judging from their appearance, they don't look like kind people. Shenyuan Yi will naturally not hold anything back. He urgently wants to know the answer in front of him, and killing the chicken to scare the monkeys has become the most direct method.

He launched the technique without hesitation, and while walking past these thugs, he used the blades in their hands to kill them. Then Shenyuan came to the noble, kicked and untied them at the same time. Got the technique.

Time resumes its flow.

The noble's eyes were blurred, and he couldn't help but kneel to the ground while feeling severe pain in his body. After he saw the instantaneous death of several of his best thugs from the corner of his eye, he realized that the strange person in front of him was not one of those trash fishes.

"I ask, you answer!"

Holding the Spider Kiri, whose blade was thin and whose danger and foreboding could be seen at a glance, Kangenichi put the blade against the noble's throat.

"This child... what is his name?"

After getting the answer that he didn't have a name, Shen Yuanyi's mood still hadn't calmed down yet.

He looked at the child in the cage who was as cold and quiet as a dead thing, and for the first time he felt a strong desire to kill such a child who might not even learn to walk.

And all this is just because of the deformed appearance of this child, with four arms and four eyes... How could Shen Yuanyi forget such a familiar look?

"Su Nuo..."
