Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 245: Abyss of Despair
"Oh? Are you preparing for a fight to the death? I thought you would continue to try to consume me like this."

The silhouette of the magician who appeared on the edge of the battlefield and approached him was completely more than any previous fight. Among them, the first one to appear was a person who was very familiar to Shenyuan Yi, who was let go by him before as his final declaration. 'Abe Seimei.

The people who are pioneers with him, Shen Yuanyi, are all unfamiliar, but judging from their unabashed aura of spell power at this moment, these people are definitely the top existences among magicians, and they are the top in the world of magic in this era. That part.

Then Shenyuanyi, who had a thought, figured out how many magicians had died in his hands in this war that was about to go through from sunrise to sunset.

The answer is close to a thousand, and there are countless shikigami with little value. However, to deal with the latter, Shenyuan Yi does not need to care about maximizing utilization, and can just kill them instantly.

What is the concept of a thousand people?
It depends on what angle, identity, and situation you use to look at it. In the eyes of an ordinary person in modern times, when they were students, there were less than dozens of people in a class and hundreds of people in a grade.

In ancient times, a thousand soldiers were already a fighting force that should not be underestimated. But if the perspective is further broadened, the population of a prosperous city in modern times can easily be counted in the millions or tens of millions.

This number of people is like a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning. In ancient times, these thousand people were not a number worth mentioning in real wars.

But is a thousand lives really too few? No, their blood is enough to dye the ground under their feet red, and their deaths are enough to make those who live there understand what Shura Purgatory is!

But when these thousand people are all magicians and the lowest is ghost level, the situation is different. The loss of these one thousand people at this moment is an irreparable collapse in the magic world.

After Qingming joined the battlefield, they did not take action immediately, and Shenyuanyi also maintained this strange calm. He wanted to hear what the other party would say.

How many magicians are there in modern times? Take Tokyo Magic High School as an example. The number of magicians who serve as teachers does not need to reach double digits, and there are not many students. Most of the time, they are out performing various curse tasks. The school suddenly seems It's emptier.

His targets are only the magicians. Even if they lose, for them, they will use their middle and high-level magic powers in exchange for the survival of other ordinary people.

In fact, when Kamogenichi released a spell war through Abe Seimei that would determine the survival of the spell world, he did not personally come to each house and destroy some of the spell power before they could react.

There was a strange crack on Qingming's famously handsome face, but he didn't seem to notice it and just continued talking in a trance.

"But I still don't understand something. You decided on this decisive battle to prevent the casualties and destruction from spreading further. Even though you were enshrined as a god, you still have the last bit of human heart left."

Abe Seimei smiled miserably. He had never thought about how powerful a magician who could be worshiped as a 'living god' would be, but to this day, so many magicians died one by one.

Shenyuan Yi glanced at this guy strangely. He was not surprised that the other party could understand the other meaning behind this decisive battle. At this moment, he was just looking at the words hidden in Qingming's mouth about the world, or those things. Ordinary people who can only struggle to survive seem to have different views from ordinary magicians.

Those people already knew the unspoken meaning behind this: that everything would end in this unequal war, and Shenyuan would not and would not have the leisure to try to destroy the regime and world of ordinary people again.

What about the Spell family? For example, the Zen Yuan Family of Yu San Family, this top-level magic family has more magicians than the school, but only a few more. Their elite troops only have dozens of people, plus scattered There are other magicians who have their own functions. It would be good to have more than a hundred people.

If I guess correctly, things seem to have taken a slightly interesting but still expected change.

Nowadays, magicians of this level, including many disaster level and even disaster level magicians, are all dying on this battlefield at this moment. Regardless of their strength, whether you or I are noble or low, they are equal at this moment.

"But now the upper and middle levels of the magic world are all dead. What if the curse spreads and destroys everything in the future? Is this also in your calculations?"

……

No matter what technique or combination, under its power to manipulate time, it all vanished into thin air, and it was all their wishful thinking.

"We were wrong...the records of the Fujiwara family were also wrong. Those past records are just the tip of the iceberg. It turns out that spells can actually do this..."

"We thought there was still hope of victory in this war...at least it wouldn't be such a complete defeat..."

And you must know that in the modern world of magic, second-level magicians, also known as ghosts, are the backbone of the curse-repelling force. First-level magicians are countless, and they can be remembered in your mind just by meeting them once. Recognize each other from the information.

Although the nobles and ministers all know about the existence of spells, and there are magicians in their subordinates and families, but in terms of numbers, ordinary people account for more of this society.

Then on this cold and ruthless scale, the weight of the weights on both sides is obvious. If the lives of ordinary people are compared with their own, the magicians will never hesitate.

If it were a family member, they would be in pain and unable to make a choice, but except for some special cases, whether their final choice is to try to save their family or give up in pain, the result will still not be much different. But... now there are deaths on both sides, and they are treated equally. Either they die and struggle for the last time and maybe there is still a slim hope, or they are crushed to death together with their own family blood.

When death is inevitable, fear, despair, and madness follow, reality forces them to choose the best option, and at the same time, it also forces them to put everything on the line in this decisive battle with the 'gods'.

The reason is very simple. If they can win, it will be good. If they are destined to lose, then no matter whether they agree to this decisive battle or not, their outcome will be death. But if they agree, at least their family will not be able to survive after losing most of their spell power. As for that simple falling apart.

Then the choice will naturally be clear, that is, there is no choice.

"No, our world is different."

Shenyuan lowered his eyes and looked at himself reflected in the Tian Yu Yu Zhan Sword lying horizontally in his hand. At this moment, the self inside seemed a little strange, but everything burning in those eyes was what he felt most from his heart. Real 'persistence'.

Then he raised his head again, his eyes calm again: "Life and death are important, but they have different meanings to you and me. Just look..."

As soon as Shenyuan raised his hand and pointed, the one closest to Qingming among the countless corpses on the ground suddenly changed. His remains, which had been affected by the constant battles, were instantly restored to almost intact state. the point.

Qingming could even detect the impossible residual warmth and residual activity on the corpse. Perception and reality told him that the corpse had only been dead for a very short time, and might even have been killed just now.

But reason told him that this was not the case. This person must have been dead for a long time, because all these changes happened under his eyes!
Qingming also knew what was going on behind this. He was too dry to speak out the answer, but Shen Yuanyi who went on to speak spoke for him.

"If I move the time back a little further, his death will be overwritten and cease to exist. If I go back all of this to a further past, such as...yesterday..."

As soon as Shenyuan looked at the horrified expressions of everyone across the way, he said words that completely shattered some of these people's perceptions.

"Is life worth respecting? Of course! It is undeniable that everything I do is basically for my own selfishness, but do you know... I discovered an interesting fact. Your death will actually bring a different kind of peace."

When the speculation about the curse, the balance between the two sides of the magician, and the rise and fall of the so-called era of magic as a whole was narrated by Shenyuan, not only Qingming, but also the magicians who heard this guess fell into varying degrees of confusion. Shock, and the simplest outward expression is masked anger.

"Impossible! Are you saying that the increase and strength of spellcasters will lead to a simultaneous increase in the curse? So you want to kill most of the spellcasters to weaken the curse? No... you are simply crazy..."

This is a common feeling among most magicians. They now feel like they are facing an extremely powerful madman. According to the other party, their death is still a good thing for countless ordinary people?
"No, one thing still needs to be corrected, that is, the balance of this correspondence and entanglement is dynamic and macroscopic. To answer your other question, if you don't die, those curses weakened by the barrier will be like two connected If the water on the other side of the pool is not reduced, it will flow over and regain a turbulent balance. "

"Only when the curse has been weakened by the barrier, and then the problem of the overpowered curser is solved, the long-standing 'curse' is consumed, and the era of curses and curses is restored to a state of accumulating strength and ebbing. will disappear before dawn comes."

"But this is just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The wave of spells will eventually rise again, and so on..."

"Clap clap~"

A burst of applause separated the magicians outside, and three figures walked through it and approached here. The ghost-like existence with four arms and four eyes at the head was unexpectedly harmonious in this mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, and his expression seemed very... Enjoy this environment.

Su Nuo.

That strange and ferocious face suddenly grinned: "Is this the thinking of a 'god'? Tsk tsk... It's really another extreme, but there is one thing we have in common."

"That is 'selfishness' without any hypocrisy. You don't have to explain anything to these guys who call themselves human. You use your power to dominate everything and dominate them. It's just like killing ants. It's ridiculous that they slaughtered each other in the war. The number is countless times this..."

Su Nuo was different from the serious and nervous expressions of Li Mei and Wan beside him. At this moment, he unexpectedly looked excited, and his four arms were stretched out as if to embrace everything.

"Kill if you want, eat if you want... If there must be killing and destruction, it can only be held in our hands at the top!"

Two Buddhist-style charm tools appeared in two of Su Nuo's four hands. A bloody mouth suddenly opened on his abdomen, and scarlet flames ignited from his feet, as if held up by a red lotus. Got him.

"And now, I just want to meet the power of the so-called 'gods'!"
