No one is more familiar with the "soul" than a living corpse. The Viseu family, which Maka said was "proficient in the study of soul magic", can't be compared; the Witte family, which has the inheritance of summoning magic and has kept the devil summoning scrolls for many years, can't be compared; The despicable Haierbo who runs rampant in the world cannot compare.
This is a talent that is born with, a derivative ability derived from the essence, and at the same time... it is probably the meaning of the birth and existence of the living zombies in this world.
Just like humans use their eyes to identify who is standing in front of them, the primary way a living corpse uses to distinguish the surrounding life is to perceive the soul.
And through this innate sense, Rebes confirmed Maka's identity almost the moment he noticed his presence!
Yes.
Even though their appearance is completely different, their voices are different, and even the fluctuations of magic power escaping from their bodies are completely different. But Rebes knew that it was the man who had shown favor to their living zombie clan, gained respect from all of them, and even made them sincerely loyal for a time, but in the end he killed his sister in front of them... He Rebes's biggest enemy!
Yes, that's how it should be, but...
"Are you 'him' after all?"
Looking at the human young man who reappeared in front of him, Rebes stared at him with a sharp but unconcealed doubt in his eyes and asked.
For no other reason than because after he calmed down just now, he spent more time carefully distinguishing the soul power, and finally discovered... The more he carefully sensed the other party's soul, the more he felt something... Specious.
There is no doubt that this is the first time that Rebes, as a living corpse with the ability to perceive souls, has discovered that his "eyes" have become unreliable.
The human being called "Maka" in front of him was undoubtedly very similar at the soul level to the black figure and the object of hatred in his memory. They even deceived him when they first met. But after careful identification, I discovered that the two are actually just "similar" and not exactly the same after all.
But just when Rebes tried to figure it out in a straightforward manner, Maka patted his shoulder lightly and said:
"Can't you figure it out? In fact, even I haven't figured it out yet! But it doesn't matter. I think 'him' and I are somewhat related after all. So, when you figure it out completely, you can decide whether to continue killing Let me avenge your sister!"
After saying this, Maka took Willy, Sarah, and the rainforest witch Ms. Viseu and walked straight towards the other end of the courtyard.
However, after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and said towards Rebes's back:
"Aren't you leaving? What are you still standing there for? If you don't follow me, what if you can't find my people when you want to kill me?"
In fact, this living corpse boy had already regained his ability to move when Maka sat down to talk with the big housekeeper and others. When he heard Maka say this, he hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and silently followed Maka's pace.
…
"You said... you're not sure whether 'he' is 'you'?"
When Maka reunited with her former friends, Hermione, who learned about the interaction between Rebes and Maka, said this was the first thing she said.
However, it has to be said that now is not a good time to ask such a question.
The Czech wizard branch where Hermione is located is being attacked by a swarm of living zombies... No, rather than an "attack", it would be more accurate to say a "mopping up".
This is a city that is very close to the German-Czech border. The wizards who stubbornly stayed here have long been forced to abandon the hastily set up defensive fortifications on the ground and were killed by countless groups of living corpses. Forced into the underground space.
Even so, the resistance at the entrance was still very difficult. It seemed that if one were not careful, the terrifying wave of zombies outside would completely break through this last line of defense.
Such an embarrassing and severe situation was barely relieved until the arrival of the wizard rescue team from Hermione and the Rossi family.
But in fact, because Maka, Weili and others quickly captured Haierbo at the front line, the living corpse side was no longer as crazy and neat as it was originally.
Even though the enemy's offensive has been greatly reduced, the situation of these Czech wizards who insist on staying behind is still so difficult that they almost collapse at the first touch. This shows how huge the gap between the two sides is!
"At least I can be sure that I am still 'me'. For now, this is enough for you and me." Maka turned to Hermione and smiled, "Don't think too much, our task now is to first Solve the current crisis. As for other things, let’s wait until we can take action!”
Before she finished speaking, Maka waved her wand again, and the flowing silver mist of the Patronus Charm did not condense into a Patronus, but directly blew out of the entrance in its most primitive form like a sparkling wind. . Wherever the silver wind passed, swarms of low-level living corpses twitched and fell like wheat. The power was quite astonishing.
And just behind Maka, dozens of Rossi family's choir wizards were glowing, silently providing strength to Maka.
Since Maka led the group of wizards from the ground all the way here to join Hermione, the offense and defense began to switch.
"Weili and Sarah have gone to support the other branches. Together with Harry and the others, we can more or less save the lives of some people who should not be killed... Oh, and there is also the living corpse boy, he also brought it with him His people are coming.”
"He is actually willing to listen to you?" Hermione was a little surprised when she heard the news.
But Maka shook her head.
"It's not me," he said, "it's his sister... It is said that his sister once told him something before she died. I only heard Sarah mention this, but you should know it too. Bar?"
Hermione, who was maintaining the magic text formation beside her, couldn't help but pause when she heard this. However, after she turned her head and glanced at Maka, she nodded slightly and said in a low voice:
"Ok, I know."
After responding to this, Hermione didn't speak again, and she didn't know what her mood was at the moment.
But soon, a cheer was heard from the wizards at the entrance. It seemed that the group of living corpses in the ground position that had been abandoned by them had finally been cleared away.
"Go up!"
Maka didn't say anything more, just greeted Hermione and others, and walked forward.
