"...Is it called 'Maka McClain'? In short, he is indeed a very powerful human being. It's a pity that there are strong people, and naturally there may be stronger ones. He still failed to win that begging in the end. Disgusting guy. Take his body back! Then... go back and give it to the person among you who can really make the decision - you are definitely not the one. There is no need to lie in front of me. It is meaningless. In short, you go and bring something to tell the person who is in charge. Human beings, I have spent a lot of effort to get this body. Now I give it to you, hoping... you can feel my sincerity."
When the demon said these words through the ice coffin, Ron was still staring blankly at the face in the ice, not knowing whether he listened to the words.
However, the other party didn't seem to mind. After it finished speaking, it shut its mouth and did not speak again immediately. Instead, it was quite "understanding" and gave Ron time to recover.
However, it was not easy for Ron to come back to his senses after seeing that familiar face with slightly closed eyes!
"Maka... Maka? How is this... possible? How is it possible? How..."
At that moment, the first thing that arose in Ron's heart was not even shock, but a blankness.
In fact, since Maka left everyone and gradually disappeared, although all the friends, including Hermione, have always harbored many complex emotions such as uneasiness, confusion, worry, etc., some people even felt that Maka was missing because of her disappearance. There was some hesitation due to some strange behavior in front of the couplet.
However, in fact, from the beginning to the end, none of them really thought that Maka would die alone in this land where endless disasters were brewing.
This confidence naturally comes from every miracle Maka has ever created for everyone.
The more surprised and unexpected you are, the more people will become accustomed to it. As long as this habit of the power and wisdom shown by Maka is not interrupted, sooner or later it will turn into confidence... or even faith.
Just like Albus Dumbledore back then.
But now, when he saw that pale face frozen in ice, Ron felt that his faith had collapsed.
Ron actually heard what the devil said just now, but it was almost as if he didn't hear it, because at this moment he no longer had any room to think about the meaning of every word in the other party's words.
Not long after the other party finished speaking, closed his mouth and became quiet, a wave of emotions finally surged into Ron's suddenly empty head. This emotion is nothing else but "panic".
Suddenly, the stunned Ron rushed towards the ice coffin in front of him, completely ignoring the spreading cold air above, waving his arms like crazy to sweep away the thick frost on the ice. , exposing the entire upper surface of the ice coffin - he wanted to see clearly, he had to see clearly, the whole body of the figure in the ice coffin.
Although Ron does not have the ability to perceive magic, even so, he must at least try his best to find out whether the thing sealed in the ice coffin is really Maka's... body.
However, sometimes, the more you see and the clearer you see, the more desperate you feel - you can see that just on the body in the ice, there is an extremely terrifying wound, extending from the chest down to the lower abdomen. , the deepest point even completely penetrated the body, and the ice below could be vaguely seen!
"Reveal your true form immediately! Reveal your secret form... Reveal your form quickly!"
Ron, who still didn't want to believe what he was seeing, suddenly took out his wand and used all the detection spells he could cast on the ice coffin.
But unfortunately, all the methods he could think of have been exhausted, and the ice coffin is still just an ice coffin without any changes.
Obviously, either he is not capable enough, or... what is before him right now is indeed a bloody reality.
"Crack."
The wand slipped from his hand, bounced on the floor a few times, and then rolled silently to the side. Ron shook his head slightly, his already weak legs getting weaker and weaker, causing him to stagger back two steps, and his whole body seemed to be crumbling for a moment.
Then…
Suddenly, Ron raised his head - his eyes had become bloodshot at some point. At this moment, he was looking directly at the face of the devil opposite, and the initial fear in his chest was completely gone.
"Really... not... you did it?"
"of course not."
Demons never have very specific expressions on their faces, and perhaps, there are no unnecessary emotions in their hearts. The tone of the other party's answer was still very calm, not affected by Ron's determination bursting out of despair.
After clearly giving the answer, it continued calmly:
"And when those of you who can really make the decision are willing to come and have a formal talk with me, you will definitely understand that I don't even have the slightest reason to kill him."
After saying this, the devil seemed to curl his lips slightly again, and I don't know if it was considered a smile. Immediately, Ron waved his hand when he saw it, and finally said:
"Of course, in fact, if you insist on not believing it, you can't seem to do anything to me, right?"
This sentence is another undoubted fact. If the other party is the real culprit who killed Maka, no matter how angry and decisive Ron is, what can he do
It has to be said that Ron actually performed very well today, and even showed some extraordinary performance in terms of mentality and courage - being able to maintain a posture in front of such an extremely dangerous demon who is very different from himself in strength, And after seeing Maka's body in the ice coffin, he did not lose his fighting spirit and instead went to question the devil. Ron's mental growth was already very amazing.
After a moment, Ron took a deep breath, then nodded and said:
"I really can't do anything, so I will accept this 'big gift' you gave me and take everything I said to you back. As for whether what you said is true, what exactly is inside this ice coffin?" Is it... Anyway, someone will figure it all out. And then, I think we will have a formal chat."
As soon as Ron finished expressing his attitude, the demon finally nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said:
"It's clearly a good intention, but it must be thought of as malice. Why do we have to live so tiredly? Believe me, there is really no such irreducible hatred between us."
