"boom-"
A rather embarrassed figure flew out of the cave buried in rocks. For a moment, the large and small rocks and soil collapsed a second time, and the rumbling sounds continued.
And it was Maka who flew out of the dragon's lair.
"The devil's body coupled with high-intensity regular magic is really no joke..."
After flying more than a hundred feet (approximately 30 meters), Maka stopped in mid-air. I saw his left arm hanging weakly by his side, his expression looked extremely serious, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
In fact, half of the fact that he flew out of the cave just now was due to his own will, but the main reason was that Haierbo's attack was too powerful, so he had to go to a more open place outside to avoid it.
Even if the cave is used as a dragon's nest and can even accommodate an ancient dragon entrenched in it, it is still not enough for Maka to have enough space to deal with the battle with Haierbo.
In this way, the difficulty of the latter can be seen.
"boom!"
Just as Maka stood out of thin air holding the staff tightly in her right hand, staring closely at the entrance of the dragon's lair, another black shadow finally rushed out with a slightly arrogant look.
"Oh, McClain... why are you still here?" Haierbo also stopped in mid-air, brushed the dust off his body and said, "Isn't your best thing speed? If you can take advantage of me If you don't follow me, run away immediately. Even now, I may not be able to catch up with you quickly."
However, Maka quickly shook her head.
"Although I don't object to 'escape', there is nothing shameful in running away if you can't fight!" He said, "But that must be done under the premise that you can actually run away - to be honest, even if Even if I run with all my strength, I won’t be able to get too far away from you.”
Having said this, he couldn't help but shrug his still mobile right shoulder and said quite calmly:
"A useless waste of time and effort—this is probably the last thing I want to do right now."
"That's why I feel it's a pity!"
After hearing Maka's answer, Haierbo finally stopped lowering his head and dusting himself off. He raised his head slightly, looked at Maka again and said:
"Your consistent calm will and calm mind that can think rationally no matter what the situation are, are the qualities necessary to become an outstanding wizard... In fact, I was particularly lacking in these two things. , so I worked hard to figure out how to make Horcruxes. Because only a long time can make up for these two shortcomings for me."
As he spoke, Haierbo opened his arms and said remotely to Maka:
"And you are born with these two excellent qualities that ordinary people may not be able to achieve in their entire lives... Oh, what a greedy life!"
"'Born with it'?"
When Haierbo said these words that could be called "high praise", Maka showed a slightly strange expression, but he quickly put aside the unnecessary thoughts in his heart at the moment.
"That's all," Maka shook her head slightly and said, "Anyway, aren't you going to continue the attack? If you don't move, then I will go over by myself -"
The power of the cooling rule cannot damage Haierbo's body even a single centimeter. He has tried this several times just now.
Although it cannot be seen from the outside, in fact, the dragon's nest behind Haierbo has completely turned into an ice cave filled with cold air.
As for the soul rule that Maka has been focusing on recently, arrogance, it no longer has the corresponding effect on Haierbo, who has now successfully captured the demon body.
Well, it would be better to say that Maka was completely overwhelmed by the power of "Gluttony" controlled by Haierbo.
Previously in the dragon's lair, he tried to use the soul rules again to bypass the opponent's nearly invincible body and contain the opponent's soul. But he never thought that during the extremely fierce and high-speed fight, Haierbo would pretend to be affected, and in turn trick him.
Even if Maka avoided the fatal blow at the last moment and forced her way out of the dragon's lair, she would lose the use of her left arm as the price of being fooled.
Since it was also the soul that was injured, it was hard to say whether there would be any sequelae even for Maka.
However, Maka also said just now that at this point, "escape" is definitely the stupidest option. With Haierbo's ability and the amazing speed brought by that body, not only could he not escape very far, but he was also equivalent to selling his back to him.
Taking all things into consideration, looking for opportunities while continuing to fight may be the best option he can think of at the moment.
"laugh-"
When Maka disappeared where she originally stood in the air and appeared behind Haierbo in an instant, a magic spell was suddenly cast.
Nothing happened.
Yes, even Haierbo was stunned for a moment, and then he raised his eyebrows and said:
"Oh, interesting idea... but it's a pity! I guess the devil's body doesn't need air."
At that moment, Maka used the disappearing spell in modern magic - a high-intensity disappearing spell that could erase most of the air within the range.
As long as it is combined with the solidification spell, it can even create a vacuum area out of thin air for a certain period of time.
It's a pity that the negative pressure generated by the vacuum has no effect on Haierbo's high-strength body. The guy doesn't seem to even need to breathe anymore.
In this regard, apart from having more questions about the existence of "demon", Maka seemed to have gained nothing else.
"After all...are demons really 'creatures'?"
"The action has stopped!"
Just when Maka frowned and felt deeply troubled, Haierbo suddenly turned around and punched Maka fiercely. The speed was so fast and the force was so strong that it made an explosion out of thin air.
Maka, who was always paying attention to Haierbo's movements, immediately dodged away.
"boom-"
The punch did not hit Maka, but landed in the forbidden forest behind Maka. The compressed air exploded and shattered large leaves, and suddenly flew away with the airflow.
"Didn't you just say you were coming over? Why are you hiding so far away?"
While Haierbo spoke provocative words, he also accelerated instantly, forcing Maka to dodge at high speed.
Suddenly, two figures appeared and disappeared in mid-air. Obviously no one has ever used space movement magic such as the Apparition Spell, but it is so fast that it gives people a similar illusion.
Yes, that's what Minerva McGonagall, who is currently watching from afar, thinks so.
"Even if you have some ideas... But in a battle of this level, you can't get involved at all!"
