Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 76 Human or Monster
"Be careful."

After reacting, Akamatsu Reimei quickly reminded the existence of the monster, but when she turned around, she found that the monster was still standing there, and then its huge body broke through all obstacles and rushed over.

Just when Ishizaka Kazuo subconsciously prepared to use magic to block the enemy beyond his own capabilities, a surprising scene appeared in front of them: the monster ran for two steps and suddenly it was as if the delayed screen had resumed its progress. Instantly switched to the previous location.

You can see that the monster, Akamatsu Lingmei and the others were stunned for a moment, and then rushed over again driven by instinct. Then Akamatsu Lingmei and the others saw an animation that kept repeating.

The monster keeps repeating a scene like a damaged image, and even the things around it that were destroyed by him will be restored to their original state with the 'replay'.

"Is this a special grade?"

Akamatsu Remi, who breathed a sigh of relief, was still a little unbelievable. The monster that was chasing them all the way and about to destroy them all had just turned into a harmless toy?

As soon as Shenyuan walked up to them, only very few traces of the human form could be seen on the monster in front of them. There were several torn pieces of clothing on its body, and most of the rest were wrapped in scales.

There are thorn blades piercing the body surface on the claws, elbows, spine and other places, and there is a reptile tail behind it. It can easily crack the concrete floor with its twitches, and the surrounding buildings are as brittle as tofu. It was torn off.

This is only its physical strength. I don't know if it is due to mental confusion. I have not seen any spells used by this monster, but even the power it currently displays is very dangerous for its size.

"Tell me about him."

This monster comes from the same origin as Tengu and Nekomata. The feeling of this fusion is very familiar, but it is a little different from Nekomata. This monster seems to have a more 'human' feel, and is more similar to the original Tengu. .

Akamatsu Reimei looked at Shen Yuanyi's side face, and after hearing this, she calmed down and sorted out her memory. Because of the technique, her memory was very good, and she had been training, so she quickly remembered the incident. The beginning and end of it are described accurately.

After learning that this monster had changed a lot compared to when they first met, looking at the monster trapped in place by his spell, Shenyuan had a suspicion in his mind.

The surgery is lifted.

This time, the monster that rushed straight at him did not return to its original place. As the three of them were nervous again, Shenyuan rushed to meet the monster first. He seemed to be only more than half the monster's height and ran into the former's arms. middle.

The monster's body bent like a fully stretched bow. After a short pause, it smashed most of a stone pillar with a muffled sound, and then there was another sharp friction sound. The three handles didn't know when. The blade that appeared penetrated his shoulder and chest, pinning him to the ground.

"The Wheel of Time Turns"

In the hand seal of Shenyuan, the index finger and thumb are raised together, and the other fingers are interlaced inward, carefully controlling the spell to act on the monster, so as not to accidentally accelerate it in the direction of destruction.

Under his control, the monster on the ground lost its resistance in the next moment, and its body magically shrunk in the process of jumping. Then, he who originally just roared made other sounds.

"Hey where is this?"

Looking at the 'monster' in front of them who was a little confused but obviously sane, Akamatsu Reimei and the others looked extremely shocked, and Shenyuan stopped his technique after verifying his conjecture.

He just accelerated the transformation process of this monster, and in the end he finally regained his consciousness. Although he still looked like a monster, his condition was very close to that of a normal magician created by the director's department using that technology.

No. I am afraid that the technology of this unknown existence will be more advanced, because what he fused is not an ordinary person who has not awakened the spell, but a conjurer who has awakened the spell.

The being on the ground who didn't know whether it could still be regarded as a human being gradually regained some normal consciousness, and naturally found that he was nailed to the ground by three blades, and the culprit seemed to be standing over there.

"who are you?"

Hansen's memory still lingers on the moment when he tried to leave the station and suddenly felt uncomfortable. Although the scene around him was greatly damaged, it was still possible to recognize that he was still inside the station.

The changes in his body frightened him for the first time, but then he remembered the strange man and the words he said, and felt the power of his body. This pleasure instantly overshadowed the discomfort. .

With the pain piercing his body, Hansen forcefully pulled the body and the blade out of the ground. He roared in pain and then took the blade out of the body again, and the bloody holes visible to the naked eye began to appear. Creeping, healing.

The speed is not fast. This is not the effect of the reversal technique, but simply relies on the strength of his body to heal. When Shenyuan looked at the monster opposite him and stood up, his eyes were no longer chaotic, but with a look of confusion. Complex ingredients of cruelty and malice.

Then the chest and abdomen of the monster, which was now only two meters tall, swelled, and soon a large amount of purple smoke was ejected from its mouth. The rubble and rubble had a hazy and dangerous beauty under the cover of the purple smoke.

After releasing the smoke, the monster actually chose to turn around and run away. What stood out was his decisiveness. Although he had no memory of when he lost control, he was nailed to the ground at that time. The enemy must not be simple, and he didn't have it at this time either. Completely familiar with his own strength, Hansen chose a tactical retreat after just a brief thought.

Shenyuan Yi was not that surprised. The out-of-control monster only knew how to fight and had no idea of ​​escaping. But with human thinking and sane 'monsters', there were many choices.

Therefore, among the curse spirits with the same strength, the wise ones are often more difficult to deal with than those who are stupider. As for this purple smoke, it is not a good thing when you think about it. I just don’t know that it is his original one. The spell is still the spell of the curse spirit fused with him.

It was because of this that Shenyuan Yi thought of this, so he did not directly deal with him, but instead promoted the other party to complete the change. The reason why the director's department's technology requires ordinary people who have no spells but have the ability to do magic is also related to this aspect.

Everyone's awakening spell is innately engraved in the body, and the technology to integrate the cursed object into the body of ordinary people is to integrate the cursed spell and the target into an acquired spell. Naturally, There can only be and can only be one type of spell used.

And if this monster can possess two spells, even if it is very likely that he cannot use them at the same time, it is not a trivial matter. The director of the department calls this situation what the fusion of spells and spellcasters is. It seems to be called 'perfect adaptation'. Matcher'.

Shenyuan Yi didn't think that even the General Director's Department didn't have a so-called perfect adapter, but this person unexpectedly became a perfect adapter, which meant that the other party's technology had surpassed that of the General Director's Department.Seeing that the monster's figure had disappeared on the very broken stairs at the corner, Shenyuan said "Be careful with these gases" and then disappeared.

The ceiling above the head was shattered again, and a figure that fell from it and howled in pain fell to the ground. The smoke and dust raised shook for three times, and neat cracks spread out from the sunken pit.

Looking towards it, it was the monster that was trying to escape lying. At this time, his chest and abdomen were almost completely separated by a terrifying slash mark, and half of his face collapsed, as if he was hit by something with great force. Collapsed.

Then Shenyuan jumped down from the gap with Dojiqi in his hands. This monster's vitality is very strong, and it is not inferior to those magic spirits who use magic power to repair their bodies, but the speed may be slower.

From this perspective, even if the existence in front of us has human thinking, it seems that it can no longer be regarded as a human being.

Thinking of this, Shenyuan Yi's thoughts were a little wandering. Can a conjurer who has mastered the reversal technique and some very powerful techniques still be considered a human being?

Can human beings ignore ordinary severe injuries such as severed limbs and easily repair them? Can humans lift a car and easily crush cement rocks? Can humans control conceptual things such as time and space?

If you judge by appearance, then the real person is just a strange person from the appearance alone. But if you judge by heart, thinking, and stance, can the monster in front of you be regarded as a human being?

Hansen, whose chest and abdomen had been healed to some extent, got up. The marks on his face had not yet healed. He did not expect that after releasing poisonous mist to block his escape direction, this kid could quickly catch up with him, and the other party The spell power far exceeded his own and the fatal sword light seriously injured him almost the moment he met him.

And Hansen also understood one thing: that is, the chance of escaping is very small, but he is also a veteran who has been on the 'Shadow Network' for a long time, so he certainly does not lack the necessary determination and desperate courage. Amidst the explosion of bones, the curse power on Hansen surged, and an afterimage passed through the air before rushing to the front of Shenyuan Yi.

Shenyuan, who raised his eyes, stretched out his hand to catch the incoming strong wind. The Doji Kiri in his other hand was inserted into the opponent's body, but then he was stunned by the feeling of a blow on his back.

Hansen on the opposite side ignored the pierced body and waved the sharp five claws of his left hand with a grin. Judging from the momentum, he might be able to cut open Shenyuan Yi's head directly.

He let go of Doji Kiri, quickly took out Onikiri from the hanging black air, and cut off its claws with a backhand knife, but then as if he thought of something, Shenyuan Yi kicked the monster almost at the same time. Opening, the falling Onikiri then slashed towards the empty left side.

There was a harsh friction sound, and something in the air collided with the blade in Shenyuan Yi's hand. Unlike Shenyuan Yi who was thoughtful, Hansen's face was already a little ugly when he pulled the blade out of his body.

"Has it been seen through so quickly?"

As soon as Shenyuan recalled the feeling of being hit hard on his right back shoulder, as well as the invisible attack that he had just blocked, he then spoke with half certainty and half doubt: "Your technique is to attack at the corresponding position again. Attack once?”

Hansen had no luck left in his mind. Part of his technique had indeed been noticed. In this case.
With a half-human, half-monster face, he then chose to make the technique public: "'Ghost in the Mirror', this is the name of my technique. As you can imagine, when I attacked you, a non-existent The mirror will launch the same attack."

As soon as Shenyuan heard the opponent's announcement of the spell, as for the information about the enemy's spell, he only heard a rough outline. This could only be used as a reference. For specific situations, he would always only believe in the judgments and conclusions drawn in actual combat.

Although the premise of the 'disclosure of spells' is true and valid information, in addition to many factors in the battle between magicians, there is another very important factor, and that is 'deception'.

Incomplete disclosure is allowed. Even if it does not maximize the enhancement of the spell, it is a common choice for most magicians. For example, if Shenyuan discloses his spell and says it can speed up his own time, then the enemy's Woolen cloth?Non-creatures, types with or without spells, or whether certain concepts can be accelerated are still unknown to the enemy.

You can't expect the enemy to tell you all the information about his spells during the battle. Concealment and deception are the norm, because this is a battle of life and death.

After announcing his technique, Hansen suddenly grabbed a cement block with exposed steel bars that was as tall as a person next to him, and threw it towards the source of the gods with a whistling sound in the air.

Then, when the distance between the two sides was more than ten meters, Hansen's view of both sides was blocked by the cement block in the middle. With his only remaining right hand, he held the Dojigiri that was left on his side and stabbed forward.

"My spell is not in the corresponding designated position, and more importantly, it does not actually hit the enemy. Even with this meaningless 'long-range attack', the 'Mirror Ghost' can do whatever it wants within the range of the spell. The occupied space launches the same attack."

"Under my confusion just now, and now that I've blocked your vision, you might still think that my spell will only be activated if it hits you, right? Hehe, I'm going to use your weapon to chop off your head now. !”

Hansen completed the attack and the activation of the technique in the blink of an eye. He was so proud that he was about to complete the follow-up action, but suddenly found that the target locked by the technique was gone!
"Oh? Your technique is quite loose in terms of distance. It can also launch attacks from a distance, which is not bad."

The sound of words so close to him made Hansen's heart freeze. Is this the opponent's technique?Is it speed or some kind of spatial change?
"One second, only one second!"

Hansen, who was shouting in his heart, was still trying to lock onto the enemy next to him and activate the technique, but then he lost his sense of balance, and when he fell to the ground, he saw several limbs slightly away from him.

Putting away the still smooth and clean Onikiri and the Dojiri on the ground, Kangenichi used 'amber' to seal him. This can be said to be a protection or confinement move, which can be used to control him at this time.

Hansen, who had healed a part of his body, returned to the state of broken limbs in an instant. The spell power he used and the attacks he attempted to launch all disappeared without a trace in an instant. In despair, he could only look at the source of God. I asked Akamatsu Reimei and the others to come over.

"I have restrained him for the time being. You can watch him until the relevant personnel come over. It won't be long. This man is still alive and useful. I have things to deal with and I have to leave first."

Then Shenyuan put his hands on their shoulders one by one and used reversal techniques to heal their accumulated injuries, and then they disappeared from sight.

"He is so strong and handsome!" The speaker was Hiromi Tachikawa. He felt his intact body, then looked at the originally extremely troublesome monster lying on the ground, and then sighed.

Akamatsu Lingmei gave him a white look, and couldn't help but agree with his words: "Then just watch the target here and wait for someone to deal with it."
