The guy came over after all, getting closer and closer step by step... It seemed like he didn't notice their presence, but as he continued to wander, he got closer and closer to here.
The rock youth had already stood up from the ground - not only himself, he also forcibly dragged the unresponsive girl beside him up.
"Fei, if I tell you to run away in a moment, you should immediately run through the hole in the wall at the back. Do you hear me?"
Because he had to keep his eyes on the front at all times, he could only give the instruction without looking back. But when he found that he still couldn't get a response from the girl, he couldn't help but turn around.
"Phi!"
The rock youth grabbed the girl's thin shoulders and shook her hard a few times.
"I said, if I tell you to run away later, just run away! Do you hear what I say?"
The vigorous shaking finally brought the girl back to her senses, and then she was seen nodding her head blankly. The young man received a response, but couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Just now he was talking about leaving the girl as bait! But the fact is that, like the middle-aged gentleman who is always prude, he chose to face the desperate situation of death first.
There was no way, just as Maka had thought before, with the devil under his nose, he would definitely not be able to escape simply by running. Precisely because he also knew this, the rock young man didn't even think about escaping before he was discovered.
And now that we are so close... obviously we can't run away.
"boom-"
Suddenly, the demon who had arrived not far away waved his arm inexplicably, and the huge force pushed the old container beside him by more than ten feet, and the box was beaten out of shape on the spot.
"Sin...the taste of sin..."
The dark bald head turned left and right, as if looking for something, but could not find the exact location. It can be seen that the hidden magic of the rock youth's "family tradition" does have a good effect, at least he did not brag excessively.
However, what the devil senses is obviously different from that of the wizard - although it can also sense the existence of others through the fluctuations of magic power, it mostly senses the so-called "breath of sin".
No one knows what that specifically refers to, including Maka and perhaps Helpo himself, because it may be something only the devil knows.
Obviously, the hidden magic of rock youth cannot isolate what the devil calls "sin".
"crime!"
"boom-"
Another punch hit the scrap metal pile on the other side. With a "crash" sound, a large number of rusty and twisted iron bars were instantly knocked out and scattered everywhere.
The rock youth was still standing within the range of the barrier... In fact, the opponent's blow just now was very close to his position, and even a loose screw almost bounced back and hit his head.
But he didn't move, because he understood that with the other party's terrifying strength, he and the girl behind him might only have a moment's chance. Whether he can let the girl escape as far as possible depends on whether he can buy more time for the girl.
"... Damn it, I'm not married yet!"
Just when the young man muttered this in his heart, he saw the devil's black eyes finally turning towards the direction where he and the girl were. Even though it was still at a slight angle, if the guy waved his arm again, they would definitely be hit.
"Fei, let's go! Change to another place and activate the magic ring I gave you—"
Before he finished speaking, the rock young man pushed hard with his backhand and forced the girl out of the gap in the iron wall behind her. At the same time, the wand in his hand was already shining with dazzling light.
…
"Boom—"
When Maca followed the cracked footprints on the ground all the way to the construction site by the Thames River, he happened to see the collapse of a tower crane on the other side of the yard.
Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, the dust was stirred up and flew everywhere. It was blown everywhere by the wind blowing from the river.
But just when Maka was about to fly over to take a look at the situation, a small figure suddenly ran out from behind a pile of debris and ran towards the block on the other side.
At that moment, Maka immediately sensed a familiar magic wave from the other party.
"Is it that... girl who took the initiative to reveal her position through the curse in the necklace?"
With the battle taking place on one side and the real owner who led him here on the other, Maka hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the storage yard to take a look first.
After all, if the person over there who is fighting the demon dies, then he may not be able to safely contact the girl just now.
So, after just a slight pause, Maka accelerated and rushed towards the place where the crane fell...
"boom!"
Under the splash of cement fragments, the rock youth fled in a very embarrassed manner.
He was wearing a shrunken version of the previous hidden magic, which could barely interfere with the devil's judgment to a certain extent.
Just like the collapse of the tower crane just now, it was because the other party made an error in judging his position, and then kicked the support column of the tower crane.
However, even if there are some small means to prevent himself from dying too quickly, he is actually just trying his luck. It can be said that he has the possibility of being killed by the demon almost every time, but in the end he still struggled until now.
Unfortunately, luck does not always favor the same person. Since he doesn't have enough speed to escape from the demon's pursuit, if he continues like this, he will lose his life sooner or later.
"This time... finally... I know what kind of battle that prude is facing."
The rock young man was running away desperately, and his mind was no longer racking his brains to think about how to survive, because he knew very well that he would probably be responsible for this today.
And all he has to do now is to delay time for a little longer, and a little longer, until he is abandoned by the goddess of luck who may exist.
"Bang!"
The stone chips hit his cheek, leaving streaks of blood and burning pain.
His left arm had been broken by an iron pipe that accidentally flew towards him. If he hadn't cast a spell on himself in time to numb the entire arm, he probably wouldn't be able to run for a while now.
But just when the moment came when he had already fallen into despair, a figure flashed across the corner of his eyes, which ignited life in his heart again.
"M-McLean!"
"boom-"
