Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 240: Stormy Despair and Hope

Heian Kyo was destroyed. Anyone who set foot nearby could see this horrific ruins, and the traces left by humans were almost completely covered up.

This news alone is shocking enough, not to mention that the royal family's main line is almost cut off, and all the magicians from all sides who exorcise Yamata no Orochi are almost wiped out.

The only surviving genius young magician, Abe Seimei, was even deliberately let go by the murderer.

Yes, Abe Seimei revealed that earth-shattering truth. The fact that he was going to be hostile to the former 'god' was enough to make these top magicians who were all-powerful in the past tremble.

But after all, that was decades and nearly an 'era' ago. Many magicians today only know that there is such a thing. There are many people who think that it is just a legend. It must be that a powerful magician has been exaggerated. .

You must know that they are all at the top of the current world of magic. Who is not a strong person with amazing talent and hard work after all kinds of hardships? A certain degree of self-confidence and pride is actually something that many magicians have in common.

How could a person who has transformed into a strong man on his own step by step have no confidence in himself and no pride in others, even if they are magicians of the same level?
But when the severely injured Abe Seimei told everything, coupled with the iron-clad facts made of flesh and blood, everyone felt the fatal crisis.

"That barrier, can you destroy them all to remove the 'curse'?"

Hearing this naive idea, Abe Seimei, who looked a little pale, sighed: "Everyone, please stop having such naive ideas. Indeed, doing so can eventually break the existence of the barrier."

"In other words, it is a warning, and it is indeed our last chance. If we don't follow their wishes, the other party will come to kill many people one by one."

Tatsuo Takahashi's gritted teeth and extremely angry appearance revealed the most real fear and even despair. No one present knew enough about the spell, but the more they understood and mastered it, the more they felt about the power. Awesome, incredible.

The gray-faced Tatsuo Takahashi chose to quit the plan to resist the 'gods', but before he could say the next words, a blade penetrated his chest silently, and an invisible spell enveloped him. , making it unable to even make a desperate struggle at this critical moment.

What's even sadder is that they don't even have much confidence that they can stop each other. All they can do is try to gather all their strength for a last ditch effort.

"As Seimei-kun said, we have no retreat. Whether it is for yourself or for the family, everyone, please be prepared to die."

Qingming's eyes swept over the people present, but something wanted to rush out from the calm: "But what do you think of the person who destroyed Heianjing with his own hands, the 'god' who was once worshiped by countless people?
We have only two ways, either to gather the power of all the magicians, I mean all, not only you and me here, but also all the magicians of sufficient weight distributed on this land, in this case maybe there is A glimmer of hope. "

"And escaping... just makes that person have to work harder. Do you want to watch death approaching in panic all day long?"

The person who took action was Fujiwara Issei, the representative of the Fujiwara family. He suddenly killed Tatsuo Takahashi and then swept through the people who were not too panicked. The words he threw out were cold and ruthless.

If this had happened before, Qingming's words might not have been recognized by everyone, but now the destruction of Heianjing is like a sword hanging over everyone's heads, reminding them all the time.

……

But now there is a person who will use his will and power to decide the life and death of countless people and the end of an era. This is not a joke, but a desperate reality.

Especially the chain reaction that cannot be concealed after the destruction of Heianjing, as well as the joint statement made by all the famous forces in the magic world, even the most stubborn people will have a little hesitation in their hearts at this time.

The miracle of spells reaches its extreme in individuals. In the past, it was almost impossible for one person to reverse or control the survival of an entire country or other things. People who could do this often received help from many other aspects.

When the power of the spell showed signs of decline and the truth about the barriers all over the place was revealed, the magicians who were far away naturally felt ridiculous for the first time, but there was also a trace of suspicion aroused in their hearts.

"Haha... How to win? That is the power of time! According to the existing information, the opponent can control time at will, whether it is the time acceleration of killing so many magicians instantly, or the time of playing everything in the palm of his hand. Go back!"

"I give up...I want to leave the last bloodline for my family. What happens next..."

According to the records of the Fujiwara family and the analysis of Seimei, the only person who has witnessed the 'god' cast a spell, it was only when the latter's power was so clearly displayed in front of them for the first time that they truly realized that it had been The weight of the title 'god'.

"We have no retreat! What he wants is to completely destroy the current magic world. Maybe there are still low-level magicians who can survive, but definitely not you. Besides, after losing the power of magic, under the wave of the new era, If you don’t, you will all fall to pieces.”

"It seems, something is really wrong."

"There is no need for a fool who is blinded by fear to stay here and disturb people's hearts. You should know that what he wants is not to destroy everything. His goal is only the entire magic world."

will die.

It is very simple to confirm all this, so of course it is to go to Heianjing for a visit. Therefore, all the spellcasters or curse masters who have good spell skills have started their journey towards Heianjing.

Then, after witnessing all that, everyone fell into sluggishness and fear.

Not everyone has seen the scene of destruction caused by the curse. It has happened before that villages, towns and even the manor of a certain noble were slaughtered.

But what they saw in front of them was still beyond their understanding. Heianjing was not a city as they generally thought. To be precise, it should be a gathering place.

The so-called "city gate" is just a place that must be passed through on the road and is guarded by people.

Its area is actually very wide, almost a small plain, but such an area has now become a completely unfamiliar place. The sight of overturned mountains and rivers makes all the magicians who come here to find out what is going on stop at the outermost edge.

No one came close to that land of death. Some people were afraid of it, and some people had already gotten the answer they wanted. In short, after the truth was confirmed, the Fujiwara family headed by the The "Resistance Alliance" successfully accepted these magicians who could be said to be a little scared.

However, there are naturally exceptions. They simply disdain to join forces with the noble spell forces, because their strength is enough to ignore the so-called groups. Such people are more accustomed to using their personal will to distort everything they radiate. The alliance does not force these people, as long as they can contribute in the decisive battle that will decide everything later, nothing else matters.

At this moment, they were standing on the top of a hill, looking at the place that was once called Heian Kyo but was now just a pile of ruins.

The leader was very tall, but his appearance was extremely terrifying, making it impossible to tell whether he was a human or a curse.

Astonishingly, he had an extra pair of arms protruding from the slits on both sides of the waist of his specially dressed female kimono, and his face also had an inhuman appearance: he had four eyes, and half of his face looked like he was wearing a It shows an alienated appearance like a mask.

Su Nuo on both sides.

The world's name for this conjurer who is almost out of the human category. Not only does his appearance with four eyes and four arms bear a strong resemblance to the legendary ghosts and gods, but more importantly, his inhuman and more... Close to the nature of ghosts and gods.

He has no name, only this name that best suits his essence and appearance, and he doesn't care about it at all. Only people need a so-called surname and first name to prove and commemorate their bloodline and identity.

Su Nuo doesn't need it. He is a ghost, a non-human, a natural disaster, and a curse, but he is not a human being. He has already understood his own nature a long time ago. Unlike that person... He has not yet... Completely let go of trying to "pretend" to be a human being.

"How pathetic."

After hearing the Lord's muttering, the white-haired man wearing Buddhist robes standing behind Su Nuo, who couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, immediately asked respectfully.

"Sir, what should we do next? I have found a place for you to stay. If you allow it, please allow me to prepare a feast for you."

The man with short white hair and straight ears is named Li Mei. He is a simple person and a powerful magician. But these are not important to Su Nuo. Su Nuo can allow a "person" like him to follow him. There is only one reason for being around him, and that is that Li Mei's 'cooking skills' are very good.

However, his cooking skills are not the common sense cooking skills of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but the cooking of food that Su Nuo enjoys, that is, "being a human being", whether it is women and children who are good at cooking and have young, beautiful and tender bodies.

Even for those types with tight muscles and bad taste, Rimei can handle their cooking very well. It is a perfect feast both in terms of taste and sight.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Mei survived from Su Nuo's hands and surrendered wholeheartedly to the ghost-like latter.

"Let's go."

Just as the two were about to leave, a subtle vibration and friction sound suddenly sounded, and then a strange being who was completely black and seemed to be wearing armor with insect-like characteristics flew to the ground.

Then the outer shell shrank and disappeared like a living thing, revealing a barefooted woman wearing only a layer of outer clothing. Her appearance could still be called upright and beautiful.

This is extremely rare in today's era, but for such a woman who will be watched and coveted by many men, in fact, few men dare to covet her or even have too much contact with her.

Because the woman was the five generals who once faced the Fujiwara family and sent them to attack her, and caused the latter to suffer casualties and give up the plan to attack her. Then she was enshrined like Su Nuo later, with some "acceptable" by the nobles. "Price" in exchange for 'peace' in their eyes.

It's just that because Su Nuo killed harder and showed more terrifying strength, his title of Dual-faced Su Nuo was completely confirmed, and he received more and more solemn worship.

The two met at the annual "New Taste Festival", but Wan developed "love" for this being who was the same kind or even higher than herself in her eyes, even though she was almost dead. in the latter's hands.

As Li Mei, who regards Su Nuo as his supreme master and god, of course he does not allow Wan's blasphemous plans, so he has always had a bad attitude towards this madman. If Wan was not also very strong, he would have killed the latter long ago. Frozen into crushed ice.

"You guy... I really should kill you!"

Wan glanced at Li Mei nonchalantly and responded with a bit of provocation: "If you can do it, just do it."

Then she glanced at the destroyed Ping An Jing in the distance, and finally focused on Su Nuo.

In fact, she really came here for business. The more powerful a spellcaster is, the more clearly he can detect the weakening of the once very vague spell. Therefore, when the "truth" is advertised to the world In the end, it was a magician of Wan's level who was the first to believe.

In addition, the speed of the spell power of the magicians who absorb the barrier also varies from person to person. The middle and lower levels are the easiest to extract, but they are the least likely to detect it.

Can you detect exactly how much your strength has weakened? When you realize it, do you think it's because you've become weaker or because some unimaginable force "extracted" your strength?
The strength of magicians will gradually change with their own status and lifespan. It is not static. Moreover, when the curse is weakened simultaneously, it will be more difficult for these magicians to sort out the abnormalities. Even if someone is keenly aware of something wrong, But where could they suspect it?
As long as the power and power are still in their hands, many people have no time to care about it until someone tells them that the storm has evolved, and the next step will be a natural disaster that destroys everything.

These guys will be as frightened as headless flies, showing their most despicable and ridiculous side.

Looking back, Wan Zai set his sights on Su Nuo and asked about the latter's plan: "Su Nuo, what will you do next? The 'god' from decades ago seems to have almost the same goal. All magicians, you and I must not be able to avoid it."

For Wan, who was quite strong and was also somewhat different from humans, Su Nuo still paid her a little attention and listened to the other party's temptation.

An extremely rare smile appeared on Su Nuo's face, and it wasn't the twisted smile of enjoying death and fear. It was a happy smile that came from the heart and made his eyes shine.

"No, I'm different from you guys. I only have one purpose here, and that is to meet the 'god' who once 'saved' me."

"I want to see if there are really gods in this world. I want to try... can I dominate everything by bathing in the blood of gods, or can I die here.

Siha... these are all wonderful endings! "
