Chapter 598 Praying Mantis Catch Cicada...

You know, in the past years, this man named Araya Zongren has tried countless times to open the path to the root, and has tried various methods and means for this.

However, the path he chose failed without exception.

Because whenever he approaches the answer, he will always encounter countless obstacles as a matter of course, and countless "coincidences" that are not coincidences appear, causing him setbacks and difficulties, and always destroying his plans just right.

This is why he regards restraint as his lifelong enemy, but the irony is that his surname "Araiya" has the same pronunciation as the primate's restraint "Alaya" in the language of this country.

This is simply a joke played by fate.

It's just that he firmly believes that this time will be the closest to his goal, and the one that is most likely to succeed and even definitely succeed——

On the way to the central hall, this man in a black coat stood at the entrance of the corridor of the west building, like a silent disaster, a dark shadow like a demon.

The residents in the apartment kept attacking at a speed that was different from ordinary people. Even so, the two rituals solved it without even raising an eyebrow.

It's just that during this process, she not only consumed a lot of energy, but was also forced to move in the corresponding direction unconsciously.

When she found that the corridor was full of corpses, and those puppets stopped rushing out, she also found the shadow of the black stone tablet that was almost mistaken for it.

"...!!"

——I didn't notice the man until I got so close, the distance was only five meters away.

She didn't feel the enemy until this distance, even though she was mentally prepared before entering the apartment, but the moment she realized this fact, even she herself couldn't believe it.

That man was waiting under the dark corridor ahead, as if to guard the narrow and only road leading to the central hall, like a shadow deeper than night.

He looked at the girl in kimono who beheaded the residents of the apartment without feeling anything, his eyes were calm, and he didn't even move his eyebrows.

Perhaps it was precisely because of feeling this gaze that after killing the last resident blocking the way, the two rituals were able to detect his existence in advance before bumping into him.

"Araiya Zonglian?"

Taking a deep breath, he took a step back, leaning himself against the wall as much as possible, and asked very vigilantly while holding up Kanesada.

Aozaki Touko had already told her that Araya Soren had an advantage over anyone else in this building.This building is the spell, an altar to strengthen his consciousness.

A high level of magical power must be added to the power of sacrificing life and the land itself.This man is equivalent to building a temple, intending to use a higher degree of mystery.

The records performed by the body named Ren Araya Soren have been handed over to this building.

——So this is his avatar, and it is also the consciousness of Soren Araya.

If she hadn't leaned against the wall and focused her consciousness forward, the opponent would probably have found a big loophole.Even if the other party will definitely not harm her body in order to achieve his goal... But this is the other party's "domain" after all.

"Exactly."

The magician took a step forward, the distressed expression on his face did not change at all, he was not surprised that the two rituals knew him.

"—Remember me, you. It is indeed two years since we met like this."

The girl in kimono frowned, the other party seemed to know her?But unfortunately, now she can't recall the distant memories, especially the fragments of what happened on the rainy night two years ago.

"...Didn't you remember it yourself? It looks like Aozaki told you." Araya Soren slowly reached out to touch her temples.On the side of his head there was a straight scar running from the forehead to the left.

"...It's really ironic. What was originally supposed to be done after I finished it, but now I have to do it earlier."

"..."

"..."

"I don't understand what you're talking about. What's the point of this apartment?" As for the magician's seemingly full of flaws, the two rituals did not take it lightly.

Not only because of the fact that he saw the figure of the man but could not feel his breath at all, but also because of the "death" of people that he could see without paying attention before, but this man did not.

In her eyes, there are lines on the human body that can kill them just by scratching them.Whether it is the flaw of life, or the weakest part between molecular joints, she doesn't know, she just can see it.

Everyone so far, without exception, has a line that symbolizes "death".

However, on Araya Soren's body, that line seemed to not exist, or it should be said to be extremely weak.Only by concentrating to the maximum can one vaguely see the lines on the chest changing like graffiti.

"This apartment? Doesn't make sense in general. It's all my own will."

Araya Soren's face was still dull, as if he was thinking about a puzzle that would never be solved, he looked around.

"I created a world that ends in one day, but that's just the two rituals where life and death meet next to each other. If you don't have the same people living and dying, it's not enough to worship your existence."

This is just a pure experiment, because he wants to try it out to see if human beings can usher in a death that is different from the end.

It is not that he arranged for the deaths of the residents, but the residents themselves are destined to die. People who die in the fire are just dead in the fire no matter what form they are. Killed by family members.

He just brought the ending forward and made them repeat the last day.

He believes that as long as the fate is repeated repeatedly, unexpected changes may occur in countless reincarnations.If the same knot is repeated thousands of times, the spiral will have errors, right?
"Nevertheless, the result is still the same now. The continuous repetition just made me see the fact that people's fate cannot be changed." As if it was very boring, the magician said without emotion.

"What a wicked guy...and why did you sacrifice me?" The two rituals revealed a disgusted expression from the bottom of their hearts.

"..."

"..."

"I failed once two years ago, and that guy was too much of an opposite."

Araya Soren was silent for a moment, and then his voice rose as if suppressing laughter.It's just that the expression didn't move at all, as always, the appearance of a philosopher full of depression.

"The Void is your chaotic impulse, the origin—look at the darkness, and remember your own name. "

Saying that, Araya Soren stretched out a hand under the cloak, as if trying to grab the head of Ryoichi, who was a certain distance away, and slowly chanted a mantra with a magical rhythm.

"You guy-"

Feeling a burst of rage and a strong killing intent for no reason, Shiki desperately shook his head under the feeling that his heart seemed to be tightly grasped.

"--Prime culprit……!"

The next moment, the white kimono was flowing in the darkness, and the girl's body was accompanied by the speed and killing intent like a beast, as swift as the arrows emitted by the bow that was twisted to the limit.

There is only a distance of less than five meters between each other, and it only takes a moment!She was enough to plunge the dagger into that guy's chest, venting the violent killing intent in her heart.

however--

"Don't be afraid!" The magician's voice sounded faintly, and the tense air was the proof of the consequences of being an enemy of him in this building.

The bodies of the two rituals stopped suddenly.

"King Kong! Snake and scorpion!" The subsequent two barriers were also cast by Ren Ye Zonglian, lines emerged from the floor under his feet, and extended three circular patterns, which resembled depicting planetary trajectories graphics.

Three slender rings overlap each other and float between the ground and the air. Around the magician's body, all the flow is gradually interrupted, and all kinds of phenomena of air flow are sealed.

The power of the body of the two rituals was deprived, like a fragile white butterfly entangled in a spider web.

"I don't know why you came to this place on your own without the interference of my will, but I will not give up this last chance..."

The man's dull voice was like pinching the brain of the person who heard it.

"After all, it's just the physical strength of an ordinary person. The battle just now has consumed most of your strength... Then, I, Araya Zongren, will accept this body."

"do not come……!"

The girl didn't even have time to react to the magician's approach without warning.She clearly saw that man walking towards her, but she couldn't realize that he was standing beside her.

Araya Soren stretched out her left hand, as if she was going to crush the girl's head with an open palm with great force.

The light of the knife flashed, and the beautiful magic eyes burst into light. With a blunt sound, the short knife cut off the magician's left hand.

"Dai Tian." The man's faint voice sounded, the blade pierced through like cutting a carrot, but his hand didn't even hurt at all.

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed the girl's face with one hand, and hung her up in the air with all his strength... This kind of powerful physical quality is simply a monster for ordinary magicians.

"Well--!!"

The throat of the girl in kimono trembled, and her consciousness faded amidst the sound of panting.From the palm of the man's hand, there was only overwhelming desperation.

For the first time in her life, she was sure that she would be killed for this.

"There is a relic buried in this left hand. Even if you use the magic eye of death, you can't see the part that is easy to die." Araya Soren said without emotion, "Besides, my origin is static. For the already How are you going to kill a person who has stopped?"

The two rituals failed to answer, she just struggled desperately, trying her best to find out the flaws in the other party.

It's just that the plan was ruined, and Soren Araya, who could only hastily jump to the last step, didn't intend to give her a chance: "—Is that so, the head is optional."

Accompanied by an emotionless voice, he ruthlessly used his real strength.

The sound of broken bones sounded.

"Well--!!"

The magician grunted, stepped back slightly, and looked at another person who appeared inexplicably on the field in disbelief.

"It's too risky, why do you have to do this to this extent..." The figure that also melted into the darkness of the night said distressedly, as if sighing helplessly and having a headache.

"you--!!"

Soren Araya frowned, seemed a little anxious, was it the original recipe, or the familiar taste, and was it a "coincidence" at such a critical moment?
However, he only had time to utter a short syllable, and the whole person suddenly fell silent, stood still and hung his head, motionless.

Without any signs, and it was not even possible to determine whether he had been attacked or not, he was simply killed.

Mu Xiu tilted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly: "They are also puppets. These magicians are really troublesome... No wonder they are still alive after being obliterated by the restraining force in the past."

I'm afraid it's just to make a reserve of your own body, and exchange it every time it is destroyed.

"Stop! Don't run!"

"Eh?" The voice from behind made Mu Xiu subconsciously turn around.

Falling down from the suspended position, jumping and taking a few steps back, the two rituals of kneeling on the ground on one knee may be due to the pain that almost crushed the face, or the dizziness of the brain caused by the overuse of the magic eye .

But she tried her best to resist the urge to take a good breath, and immediately raised her head, her eyes lit with some kind of hostility.In the next moment, as if only the shadow of the white kimono remained in the darkness of the corridor, her movements were as swift as the undead.

"You guy—are you finally willing to show your face?!"

One hand firmly pressed down on Mu Xiu's shoulder, and he pressed his knee against the opponent's chest, and the two rituals who threw the opponent down condescendingly gritted their teeth.She raised the Kuji Kanesada in the other hand, as if threatening him not to move.

"It should be in time, let's hurry up..."

At this moment, Aozaki Chengzi's voice sounded somewhat hastily along with the chaotic footsteps.
