Enns felt as if he had had a long dream. But when he woke up, he had no memory of what he had dreamed about.
He just felt very uncomfortable.
Oh, no... Or maybe what he was seeing at this moment was still an unpleasant dream? Otherwise, why would he see himself lying on the bed with his eyes wide open, while Maka and Alexander were sitting silently beside the bed
And why, no matter how he called, the two of them didn't respond at all, as if they couldn't hear him
"Mr. MacLean! Mr. MacLean—can you see me?"
Enns felt that he couldn't move as he wanted. He just hung involuntarily above his "other self" on the bed, calling for Maka as loud as he could.
However, he got no response.
"Just now I was still suffering from the torture of Hai Erbo, but when I closed my eyes and opened them, why did I come here again? What happened? Is this... really still a dream?"
Because he didn't get the response he deserved, Enns finally gave up his meaningless shouting and shut his mouth.
So unknowingly, the night gradually deepened.
Probably due to the previous serious injuries and the failure to rest properly, fatigue continued to accumulate in Maka's body. Coupled with the dead of night, the wave of sleepiness made his eyelids become heavy.
On the other side, Alexander was obviously very tired. He had even been sitting there and dozing off just now.
Of course, Maka wouldn't fall asleep here like Alexander did, so he just leaned back on the chair and gently closed his eyes, taking a short rest while ensuring that he wouldn't really fall asleep.
Enns, who was floating in mid-air, naturally saw all this.
But just a moment later, when Maka was closing her eyes to rest, Enns saw that the "other self" lying on the bed with dull eyes suddenly started to move!
I saw the other party smiled strangely at Enns hanging above, then silently took his right hand out of the quilt, slowly reached towards the bedside table next to the pillow and picked up the silver book placed there. Snake staff.
And then, the snake staff that shone under the light slowly drew a semicircle in the air and turned in front of Maka beside the bed.
"What on earth is going on... is it a dream? It must be a dream!"
Watching a person who looked exactly like me do something against his will, but he was completely unable to stop it. This feeling of being separated from reality and control drove Enns almost crazy.
To be honest, Enns doesn't really like some of Maka's actions and decisions, and given Enns's character, he doesn't really want to have too much entanglement with Maka. But even so, his feelings for Maka were more grateful than repulsive.
If it weren't for Maka, his life would have been lost long ago.
"Mr. MacLean... Mr. MacLean! MacLean—"
However, no matter how much he shouted to remind him, Maka and Alexander in front of him still turned a deaf ear, as if he floating in the air did not exist at all.
But just at this moment, the "other him" on the bed seemed to be laughing at his futility, and glanced at him again with that inexplicable smile.
But just in the short moment when the opponent's eyes left Maka, a hand suddenly came out, grabbed the snake staff pointed at Maka and pulled it aside.
That's Maka's hand!
"The previous time it was a false shot, it made me suspicious for a long time but I didn't find anything unusual. So this time I can finally take advantage of the period when my serious injury has not healed and my defensiveness has been reduced to really start to take action. … is that so?"
Maka, who had already opened her eyes, didn't feel sleepy at all, as if the sleepy posture just now was all fake.
However, the other party seemed to have no intention of giving in.
He tried to pull the snake staff hard to take it back, but Maka twisted and slapped it and snatched it away. He suddenly turned over and got out of the bed from the other side, and at the same time, he placed the same thing on the bedside table. The wand was raised again.
The next moment, a spell that was obviously not a modern spell suddenly burst out from the tip of his staff, and a blazing fireball immediately flew in the direction of Maka.
To be honest, the fireball is obviously not very powerful and not very fast, but don't forget that Maka can't cast magic at all yet!
"careful!"
Although Enns' words could not reach Maka's ears, Maka didn't seem to need his reminder.
It must be said that no matter how slow the fireball flies, the distance between the two is only within the blink of an eye. However, Maka calmly and quickly took out a potion bottle, uncorked it, waved her arm, and poured the potion in one go.
The moment the white liquid medicine collided with the fireball, a large amount of water mist immediately exploded, shocking even the real Enns who was standing in mid-air. Because at that moment, he didn't know whether the fireball was extinguished, but the room was already filled with white water vapor.
Yes, almost exactly the same as in the fog in London.
After waiting for a few seconds, the mist dissipated, and Ensden immediately discovered that Maka had occupied the side of his "other self", wrapping her arms around the other person's shoulders like a good friend.
But in Maka's other one, another full potion bottle has been selected on the other side's head, as if as long as the other side dares to act rashly, he will immediately pour the unknown potion on his head.
You don't need to ask to know that the potion in that potion bottle is definitely not the kind filled with good intentions.
Under Maka's restraint, the opponent finally stopped moving, but there was still no sign of cooperation. Because that body is just Enns's body, so what if he dies
However, Maka did not take action immediately.
"Tell me your purpose! Is it really just to attack me? I can tell from your ability that you are not that Haierbo guy... So, who are you?"
Before the words fell, the other party who had been silent finally spoke.
"Me? Huh... Mr. MacLean, I am Enns! Enns Tavon... or more accurately, 'Enns Gaunt'..."
"Zi——"
Before the other party finished speaking, Maka's hand holding the medicine bottle shook slightly, and a drop of medicine instantly fell from the mouth of the bottle and dripped on the other party's arm.
Suddenly, there was a "sizzling" burning sound, followed by a burning smell.
But at the same time, the real Enns suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm!
