Chapter 1278 The Death of the Victim
The time of nearly three hours is neither long nor short. If the action is more efficient, a lot of things can actually be accomplished.
For example, rationally using the power of the Bewitching Monument to lead an unknown passer-by out of life-and-death crisis, and accomplish some feats that he might not be able to accomplish by himself in this life.
Right now, not far behind Thomas, Maca, who was standing there while maintaining his invisibility, was secretly calculating.
"Although both of them should be married, this can be regarded as a hero saving the beauty... But, can this be called a 'feat'?"
He muttered something in his heart while looking at the mad wizard who had his wand stolen and ran towards Thomas like a beast. After that, he glanced at the top of the staff in his hand seemingly casually.
Ever since Maca used the "arrogance" rule obtained from the Bewitching Monument to affect the opponent's soul in the alley where he first met Thomas, the rune stone ball on the staff would react slightly from time to time.
Until just now, when Thomas used a powerful disarming spell to knock out the mad wizard who attacked Muggles, the red light on the surface of the stone ball also trembled slightly.
Obviously, Maca wants to carry out the "upper limit test" on the stone ball step by step, in order to find out as many and as complete as possible the specific conditions that will lead to the active closure of the time rule.
However, just such a small fight just now is still a bit insignificant.
"This gentleman..." Maca watched Thomas swing his staff again, cast a disarming spell to knock him into the air again, and then said silently, "For this crucial test of mine, in the next... um, still Is there two hours left? Then in these two hours, please work harder!"
Even if he didn't say it aloud at all, the other party would definitely not hear it, but he still murmured a few words in his heart, just to dispel his slightly solemn mood.
After all, Maca needs to use the soul rule to guide Thomas very carefully.
Due to the strict time rules and the seriousness of the problem once it occurs, he must not make any mistakes, so the pressure on his side is actually very high.
...
On the other side, Thomas, who had repelled the enemy again, saw that the lunatic seemed to have finally realized that he could no longer pose any threat to Thomas.
no way,
These mad wizards turned from the original congregation are not like the later soul collectors. Without the magic wand, they are just a group of ordinary lunatics who are not afraid of pain.
But even so, when Thomas saw that the other party only paused for a while, then got up from the ground again, and ran towards him with perseverance, he still couldn't help feeling sick in his heart.
What is going on with these guys?
But at this moment, the woman who had hit the other party with a stone before suddenly picked up the stone and rushed towards it again.
"Hey, wait!"
Even though the guy had lost his wand, he was still a man... and a man who was mad as hell. Even if she is also crazy about her dying husband and child who is probably dead, she probably won't be able to beat him.
Sure enough, before Thomas raised his staff again to cast a spell, he saw the mad wizard dodge the stone thrown by the woman, and then knocked it down with his fist.
"Uh--"
Thomas wanted to cast another spell, but just a disarming spell, no matter how powerful it was, was not enough to solve the problem in front of him.
But to talk about other spells... He has been working as his owl breeder since graduation, and the spells he usually uses are just some daily life spells.
He had almost forgotten the dueling spells he had learned in school over the years.
"Anyway, stay away from her first!" Thomas shook his head slightly, and Thomas didn't have time to think about it, and even shouted at the mad wizard, "Disarm you!"
The impact effect of the Disarming Curse is just a by-product, but now, it is used by Thomas as a blowing spell similar to "Flying Sand and Rock".
However, it still had some effect, at least that guy was sent flying again, unable to cause more damage to the young woman.
Immediately afterwards, after Thomas subconsciously glanced at the fallen stone, he finally pointed the tip of his staff there as if he had thought of something.
"Floating into the sky!"
He didn't know if he could exert miraculous power only when he cast the Disarming Curse, so this Levitating Curse could be regarded as full strength.
Afterwards, I saw Thomas controlling the stone the size of a human head, and suddenly threw it at the crazy wizard who was getting up.
"what!"
When he cast the Levitation Charm on the stone, Thomas felt unusually light for the first time, and it even reminded him of how he felt when he practiced the charm with feathers in class.
That's right, it's not just a disarming spell... I don't know what kind of changes happened to me, but even the floating spell has made great progress.
This level of casting intensity made him wonder if he was dreaming!
However, the intensity belongs to the intensity, if the accuracy is not good, it is still useless. Just when he was controlling the stone to smash towards the opponent quickly, he watched helplessly as the stone wiped past the opponent's head in one fell swoop.
"...It's way off!"
Seeing that the mad wizard was about to raise his legs and rush towards the fallen woman, Thomas could only grit his teeth and pull back his wand, trying to forcefully control the stone to fly back.
"Boom!"
After all, he still couldn't hit the head, but hit the opponent's neck obliquely, but the guy was still knocked down all at once.
Seeing this, Thomas hurriedly raised his wand and swung it down again. With another muffled sound, the stone finally landed on the back of the opponent's head accurately.
Not far away, Maca watched him use a levitating spell like this, and shook his head helplessly—it is obviously difficult to guide such a wizard to do something bigger in the remaining time , which gave him a headache.
Not to mention Maca who was watching in the dark, he saw Thomas in the front clumsily knocking the enemy out with a stone before rushing towards the injured woman.
"Ma'am, may I ask... uh, are you all right?"
It was undoubtedly a stupid question, and fortunately he thought it over before asking, God knows what he would have said if he had spoken without thinking.
But before the words fell, the woman who had been punched fiercely on the cheek by the mad wizard just now opened her eyes slightly, and reluctantly turned her head to look at Thomas.
It can be seen that a bruise has appeared on her face, and even her consciousness seems to have become a little blurred. It can be seen that the blow just now was really heavy.
But even so, she still held on to her spirit and said weakly:
"Kill...kill him, he killed my husband and child...kill him...I will repay you."
"You, you don't move, you are injured—your brain has suffered a strong concussion, and you can't determine the extent of the injury," Thomas said a little at a loss, "Stop talking about this, I will send you to St. Mungo."
Although with his ability, he is definitely far from meeting the requirements of becoming a therapist, but at least he has some common sense about injuries. After all, he's pretty good at protecting magical creatures—well, at least people are creatures, aren't they?
However, the woman didn't seem to hear what he was saying at all, and kept chanting words like "kill him", as if that was the only thought left in her head.
"Ok……"
It's not that Thomas can't understand the mood and thoughts of the other party. If something happened to his wife and children, his own reaction might be similar to that of this Muggle lady.
It's just that it's not a problem for him to stun that lunatic, but if he wants to kill...
Yes, this is a dark wizard who wantonly plunders other people's lives. Killing him is the most correct choice--that is to say, it is really time to do it. How many people in this world can go without saying a word? What did you do?
He turned his head and waved his wand at the mad wizard lying on the ground, not even knowing what spell to use.
"Ugh."
Maca, who was watching quietly, sighed silently, then shook his finger at Thomas, and quickly outlined a rune in the air.
"Feel sorry."
The next moment, I saw Thomas, who was still hesitating just now, his eyes suddenly froze. Then, there was a touch of coldness in his eyes.
"Floating into the air."
It can be found that his ability to control the floating spell has not changed much, but his movements have become extraordinarily decisive.
"Bang... bang... click."
After a few consecutive blows, it easily resulted in a life full of sins—not to mention Thomas, even Maca didn't feel happy at all.
Do these lunatics really deserve to die? No, they are also just a group of victims.
After finishing all this, Maca suddenly waved away the soul rule rune, and the indifference that appeared in Thomas's heart suddenly faded away.
He looked at the dead mad wizard, and then at his hands, and suddenly his stomach churned.
"Is this...is this what killing people feels like?"
At this moment, a red stream of light flashed again at the top of the staff in Maca's hand. The light trembled slightly, causing Maka's heart to move slightly.
There is a reaction again, and it is stronger than the previous few times, which means that there may be greater changes in the future due to his actions.
Maca wants to know now, where is the limit of this kind of change?
