Witch Kern is invincible - from the first moment Maka saw her, he knew how big the gap was.
So to be honest, even at the beginning, he did not compromise easily, but he never had any thoughts of competing with the other party.
Again, Witch Kern is invincible... At least no matter what, you should try your best to avoid a head-on conflict with it. That is not an idea that a rational person should have.
"despair."
Suddenly, a black dot suddenly enlarged from mid-air and fell with astonishing momentum towards the empty vestibule of Hogwarts Castle. But at the moment when it was about to touch the ground, it suddenly changed from movement to stillness. The strong and powerful devil's claws stepped firmly on the ground, making only a very slight sound.
After landing, Maka subconsciously glanced left and right, a slight trace of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
The reconstruction of Hogwarts Castle was completed by himself, based on the magical campus in his memory. But now, the sun was still shining brightly, the flowers and plants were still fragrant, and it seemed as if nothing had changed... except for the door that had been removed, and the dark evil mist that was pouring out of the castle in front of him at the moment.
Choosing to come back here today, even Maka is under great pressure.
He didn't need to think about it carefully. He still clearly remembered what Helbo said when he and he separated in the front square that day when he decided to take everything on his back and leave...
"In front of the teacher, I am just a child who can only play with my soul ignorantly."
At dusk that day, it was the first time that Haierbo was willing to have a down-to-earth conversation with Maka without any tricks. After all, for him at that time, Maka was already one of his own - no one else could. Hide your head and tail in front of the teacher! But even so, Haierbo still felt that he should be warned again, so that's why they had that conversation.
And that day, Maca learned some things about the mysterious ancient Greek witch from Haierbo.
According to Haierbo, in the glorious early days when the runes of natural rules were initially understood and mastered by some top wizards, the witch Kern was already one of the researchers. It was she who was the first to carve the prototype of the runes of the rules of death on the stone slab. It was also she who resolutely embarked on the journey to find the truth of life and death as she gradually specialized in the rules of the soul and the rules of death and became more and more famous. the way.
Afterwards, Maka thought about it and discovered that an unsolved mystery in the magical world had actually been solved - this witch was the original creator of Avada's Kedavra, even if the wizard who finally formed the curse was not her. , but she is still the "culprit" who directly led to the birth of the Killing Curse.
However, compared to Avada Kedavra, which is theoretically only derived from the fragments of the Death Rule runes, the witch Kern who truly controls the power of the Death Rule is undoubtedly a thousand times more terrifying! Therefore, before the demonic greed was successfully replaced, Maka was completely unable to feel any resistance to the seemingly stunningly beautiful Greek woman who seemed to have no hostility towards anyone.
No, even now, he is still unwilling to confront the opponent head-on... That is not an opponent of the same level.
Haierbo is right to always call the other person "teacher", because both he and Maka, either by coincidence or necessity, started from the rules of the soul and embarked on the same pursuit that the witch Kern once walked. The path of life and death. Since the other party was the original pioneer on this road, to a certain extent, even Maka should call the other party "teacher".
Unfortunately, even Haierbo, who had received some guidance from the other party by chance, calling him "teacher" was just wishful thinking. The witch Kern doesn't need any apprentices, and Maka doesn't want to have such a cold and self-centered teacher, so it's natural not to call her "teacher".
On the contrary, the person Maka doesn't want to see the most right now is her!
Looking up, I saw the thick black mist pouring out from all the windows and doors of the castle, hanging straight down along the outer wall like a waterfall of smoke, rolling on the steps, on the slopes, and among the grass, extending to the front, but yet again The boundaries are clearly drawn back. He stopped and stood upright, motionless in place, seeming to be thinking about something.
In fact, Maka felt that the witch Kern should be a very understanding person - she also seemed to like sunshine and flowers, so although the power she possessed made it seem like the end of the world was coming wherever she went, the place was filled with smoke and smoke. Grass does not grow and is lifeless. But she still restrained the black mist that was absolutely fatal to ordinary creatures, so that most of the potted plants in the front yard were still green.
Don't characterize her as "evil" just because she is a wizard who specializes in the rules of death. After all, in the era when she was born, although huge wars continued, the countless powerful groups of non-human magical creatures at that time were the enemies of mankind. .
Any wizard who takes great risks to study magic is the guardian of the human race and a real hero and savior.
In contrast, Haierbo, who only thinks about how to avoid death and obtain eternal and powerful life for himself, is the so-called "dark wizard" among ancient wizards. People like him are the ones who continue to seek for the survival of the ethnic group. The era of reproduction is a rare existence.
only…
"The more this happens, the more troublesome it becomes!"
Although Kern is not the incarnation of "evil", she can even be called a saint who is "willing to challenge death alone for all mankind", but later on, she was still crowned "evil" by the wizards of her time. She is known as the "Goddess of Death" and is regarded as a great enemy by many people. If not for anything else, just because at that time, her ideas had irreconcilable differences with most wizards.
Probably because of this, Haierbo has always admired her, not only because of her power, but also because of her ideas that are also unacceptable to most people.
Of course, from Maka's point of view, this is still just Haierbo's wishful thinking, just like how he always calls the other person "teacher".
"call-"
Taking a deep breath and pouring it out for a long time, Maka closed her eyes again to sort out her thoughts, and then finally opened her legs and stepped steadily into the endless black mist ahead.
The vibrant feeling in the vestibule disappeared in an instant and was resolutely left behind, and the smell of death was everywhere from this moment on.
Maka no longer thought about it, and quickly walked to the wide open but still dark door, and stepped in without hesitation, submerged in the darkness.
