"It's really embarrassing!"
After resting for a while and waiting for the potion to gradually take effect, Maka was finally able to move a little. So while laughing at himself, he stood up and leaned against a half-collapsed wall next to him.
At this moment, the gray fog was still frighteningly thick, giving the impression that the whole person was immersed in a huge pool filled with milk. If it weren't for the fact that she could still see the ground beneath her and the brick wall behind her, Maka would have doubted whether her eyes were damaged.
And also because of this rich mist, Maka's magic perception ability was also reduced by most of it. This is obviously a rather unfavorable state for his current situation.
Because judging from the several confrontations with Haierbo during this period, the opponent seemed to be completely unaffected by the negative effects of the gray fog. Not only that, maybe the diffuse fog will bring some benefits to Haierbo.
It is conceivable that if Haierbo is gradually approaching here, I am afraid that Maka will not be able to detect it until it is very close.
But having said that, the thing that puzzles Maka the most now is why Haierbo hasn't appeared yet
"Could it be that the close-range explosion just now also caused some damage to himself?"
As soon as this idea emerged in his mind, Maka immediately shook his head and threw it aside - it was impossible, even he himself could barely survive under the protection of the temporary magic barrier and have the body of a devil. How could Haierbo be injured
But in this case, what on earth was Haierbo doing during the period after the explosion
Just when Maka was secretly hesitating, suddenly, a fierce attraction that made Maka feel very familiar suddenly appeared from a certain direction, like a whale swallowing the thick gray fog in the center of the explosion. .
Maka, who was in the flowing mist, had to spend a lot of spiritual power to activate the "Pride" rune to stabilize his soul.
Yes, this strange suction is exactly the same as the effect of the Devouring Mirror. At most, the power of the swallowing is slightly inferior.
"Herbo."
Maka is almost certain that the source of this attraction is Haierbo himself. At the same time, he finally understood why Haierbo didn't chase him immediately.
It seems that Haierbo wants to use the large amount of mist released after killing the living corpse to repair his damaged body.
However, even if Maka could deduce this, there was nothing he could do about it. In his current state, just resisting this suction force is already quite difficult.
However, I don’t know whether to call it Maka’s “lucky” or “unlucky”, because Halbot sucked in the mist quite quickly. After a while, he felt that his vision became clearer and clearer, and it was obvious that the densest part of the fog was almost exhausted by the opponent.
Not only that, according to the current situation, the scope of the fog that originally enveloped even the outer suburbs of London will probably shrink...
But correspondingly, Haierbo's body is also recovering rapidly. The weaknesses that were exposed due to his resistance to meteorites are now mostly gone.
Under the circumstances, Maka's next fate is obviously self-evident.
After a while, the suction force tearing at Maka's soul finally disappeared. It seems that Haierbo must have swallowed enough mist.
As for whether it will take some time for him to "digest and absorb", that is not something Maka can guess.
But no matter what, the moment the suction stopped, Maka immediately dispersed the arrogance rune, then took out a broomstick and turned it over with all her strength.
At this point, it is definitely unwise to stay any longer. If possible, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
Yes, if possible—
"boom!"
Not long after he flew out, Maka's vision suddenly went dark, and then he felt himself hit something extremely hard.
You know, the buildings nearby were all flattened by the previous explosion, so what else could he hit while flying in the air
Perhaps because she had consumed a lot of mental energy just now to resist the suction, Maka's reaction ability had become much slower. It wasn't until he fell to the ground with his broom that he realized that Haierbo had come over after all.
"Bang!"
When approaching the ground, Maka finally released a surge of momentum in time to offset the speed of her fall. Then, he fell to the ground with a "snap".
After the fall, another wave of pain swept through the whole body, making Maka gasp.
But he quickly turned over and sat up.
But by this time, Haierbo had also fallen back to the ground from the air, and stood not far in front of him, looking at him quietly.
"back to normal?"
Maka sat cross-legged in the middle of the ruins, looking at the other person's right arm that had grown back, and asked knowingly.
On the other side, Haierbo also cooperated and said casually:
"Yeah, but you were hurt."
There was a lot of teasing in the other party's words, but they were incredibly bland and not as sarcastic as Maka expected. After all, Haierbo is not a person like Malfoy. He disdains... or in other words, he will never be satisfied with the victory of words.
"Yes!" Makawei frowned and said slowly, "This world is like this, no one knows what will happen in the next second - do it! But I said it first, I won't sit down Waiting to die."
Even though she was sitting in a very embarrassed posture, Maka's expression remained unchanged. She was calm and slightly indifferent, as if she had already expected that such a day would come to her.
"Oh, of course... of course!" Haierbo nodded, "I didn't expect you to compromise with me - just like just now, you never thought I would give up from the beginning to the end."
Saying this, he suddenly raised his hand, and a ball of flame as black as his body suddenly appeared in his palm, lingering in it as if it would shoot towards Maka at any time.
Maka didn't move, he just sat on the ground, tilting his head feebly and squinting at Helbo's every move. Judging from his inability to hold down his troops, he probably knew that he had no ability to attack in his current state, so he planned to try a defensive counterattack strategy.
For a moment, it seemed that even the surrounding air had solidified, and the whole scene was on the verge of breaking out.
