The demon summoning technique is not a "summoning" technique - Maka has known this problem a long time ago. The so-called "devil" is actually just a nickname created by a powerful wizard who specialized in the rules of the soul a long time ago in ancient times, nothing more.
Yes, that was "a long time ago"... even earlier than the end of the ancient Greek era when Kern, the goddess of death, and Herbo the despicable were born.
"I may indeed be the first wizard to study those evil props, but... I only conduct in-depth research based on their essence. Since you have also studied it, you must know what the source of evil is - To study the rules of the soul, you don’t have to start with those few things.”
"… And obviously, the senior who created the demon summoning technique was the first to set foot on this path."
A calm, soft... and somewhat cold female voice was echoing faintly in the auditorium of Hogwarts, speaking these words in an ancient language without any emotion.
To be honest, although most people can't understand these words, the voice alone even makes people feel particularly charming. Just listening to it seems like I can picture the outline of a slim, pretty, and graceful young woman in my mind.
However, it is this voice that makes people unable to help but be fascinated and even obsessed with it, but it has a vague coldness that can repel people thousands of miles away. Listening too much often makes people involuntarily have a cold war.
Warmth and cold, two completely opposite temperaments, seem to be integrated into one at this moment, making people seem not to notice any contradiction between the two.
The sense of dissonance born from this strange harmony is really impressive.
But not long after, another voice suddenly came from the auditorium. The tone seemed a little tired, but it was neither humble nor arrogant, smooth and peaceful.
"The source of evil... Well, actually this problem has troubled me for a long time, and I didn't understand it until recently. Ms. Kern, I am not as talented as you - I am just an ordinary person who is a little luckier than ordinary people. . It’s just... If I’m not mistaken, ‘sin’ is only half of the rules of the soul, right? Since there is ‘devil’, there should be—”
"No."
Before the young man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a female voice.
"I've already looked for it, spent a lot of time, and almost couldn't come back. Behind that 'door', all I saw was a flawless mass of pure energy, and something like this … Endless ‘sin’.”
When he said "like this", a large amount of indescribable "black light" was suddenly released from the windows of the auditorium, as deep as a gap in the space. And in that "gap", the silent mourning and wailing made people's souls start to tremble involuntarily.
"Evil can be materialized, but its corresponding energy cannot. So the former can be used by our wizards, but the latter...can't even touch it. In the final analysis, complete control of the rules of the soul It’s just impossible.”
"Therefore, if we cannot dominate the soul, we cannot become the master of death - the third-level rule is just an elusive existence for us, who are insignificant."
Fortunately, those dark brilliance were only fleeting and did not stay for long. Before he finished speaking, the endless black light suddenly disappeared and everything returned to its original appearance.
"call-"
He only heard the male voice let out a long breath, which showed how much pressure the situation just now put on him.
And at this moment, the female voice suddenly turned around and said:
"Well... when I came back, I seemed to see someone... Do you know that person? He was an old man wearing a silver robe, with a pair of transparent half-moon quartz pieces on the bridge of his nose, and a white beard and white hair. .”
"Huh... Huh..." The male voice was still panting softly. When she asked, he immediately said, "An old man with white beard and white hair? It's not strange for an old man to have gray hair, right? I don't know."
"Then forget it." The female voice paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Okay, I've said enough, what about you? McClain... You are planning to give me the seven props that represent evil. , or do you want me to pick it up in person?”
After saying this, the Hogwarts auditorium fell into dead silence again. Both parties seemed to be patient, and no one was in a hurry for this moment.
During this period, in the hiding place in the Weymouth camp, Delphi's narrative gradually came to an end.
…
"...In that pure white space shrouded in mist, the origin of all the 'spirits' in the world is condensed. And at the end of that space, stands a huge 'door'."
"Sorry, I can't explain it more clearly, because I have only scratched the surface of it. I just want to say that a certain energy that exists on the other side of that 'door' is what is coming here now. The essence of all 'demons' on this earth - sin."
Having said this, Delphi finally paused slightly, giving everyone present some room to digest this complicated information.
After a while, she finally said:
"Evil can be roughly divided into seven branches, arrogance, jealousy, anger, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust. Seven magic items that existed in ancient times correspond to them one by one. And similarly, the so-called 'demons' that have descended now , the main ones should be seven in total.”
"Miss Granger, based on what you described before, what you encountered... should be 'Gluttony'."
It is not easy to explain these things clearly, and Delphi racked his brains before he could describe them briefly. Even there are inevitably many confusions and errors.
After all, even she herself can no longer remember the "memories" in her head.
And when she finished speaking, Harry beside him couldn't help but said:
"Then... my Gryffindor sword should be 'wrath', right? Besides this? What ancient magic items do the other six branches correspond to?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Potter, I can't tell you this completely accurately. Because... I don't know about some of the props, and I don't even know whether they have been discovered by anyone."
Almost all the people who know the complete answer to Harry's question have concentrated on Hogwarts, because this may be one of the most critical pieces of information in the entire incident.
This is the key to "evil".
