Maka never liked implementing plans that were not fully prepared.
Just like in this plan, while he agreed to spread false news to attract Haierbo's attention, he also added another preparation to ensure that everything was foolproof.
In fact, not so long ago. When Maka came to Azkaban with a large number of carved stone slabs for laying and splicing, an uncertain factor was suddenly raised for Ewan Ravenclaw at that time.
At that time, the two of them had already agreed to spread false information, so Maka naturally began to imagine what kind of obstruction they might encounter when implementing the plan.
And because when they actually started to implement the steps of "reaching for the stars", Maka and Lao Yun would not even inform the third person besides them...
Therefore, it seems that the loopholes can only be found within themselves.
Following this line of thinking, Maka has always speculated that old Eun may actually have his body taken away by Helpo, and there is even the extreme possibility that "from the beginning, Eun Ravenclaw was Helpo himself." Sexual existence.
I still remember that afternoon, in order to dispel Maka's doubts, Old Eun allowed Maka to examine his soul.
After that, Maka set a soul rule rune in advance for Old Yoon who might have problems due to bloodline transformation - in this way, at least the opponent would be able to use it in case Haierbo takes away his body. There is some room for resistance.
It can be seen that Maka not only imagined many possibilities, but also tried her best to prepare in advance.
But the only pity is that the "safety lock" he set for Lao Youn is still unable to withstand Hai Erbo's high degree of mastery of the rules of the soul.
Perhaps with this preliminary soul rule rune, Maka herself can prevent Haierbo from directly snatching the body.
But as for Old Youn's body, which had already been deeply modified, Haierbo, who was proficient in biological modification, was able to find many "loopholes" that could be exploited directly.
So, when Haierbo quickly suppressed the somewhat "restless" old Youn again, Maka knew that this time he had indeed missed a move in terms of fundamental strength.
"...Isn't the preparation 'insufficient'...?" Maka looked at the muscular man who was forced to move by the ultra-low temperature, and couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said calmly, "It looks like this."
He couldn't compare to an old monster like Haierbo in terms of hard power, so he didn't feel like there was anything to be ashamed of. Therefore, he did not find it difficult to accept, but readily admitted his shortcomings.
However, after he nodded calmly, the sting in his next sentence became sharper.
"So, Mr. Haierbo," Maka asked coldly, "Next, do you plan to give this body to me again? Or do you want me to go and get it myself?"
After crawling out from under the Bewitched Monument, Haierbo had already "gifted" two bodies to Maka. And Maka's words at this time are actually not much different from "If you don't die quickly, I will come over and kill you."
Of course, Haierbo would not be angered by this level of provocation.
"If you really want this body, there's nothing wrong with giving it to you."
The old monster touched his recovered belly and a few ribs. The ferocious smile he had just now suddenly changed back to his original calm smile.
"Then you still won't leave?"
Maka curled her lips, but Haierbo was naturally unmoved.
"How can I leave before I get what I want?"
The latter spread out his veined hands and looked at them back and forth, as if to kill time. But soon, he suddenly put his hand on his chest and pulled it out casually.
His shirt and robe had been torn off by him a long time ago, so naturally it couldn't be clothes that he was tearing off now. And when Maka watched him pull out Old Yoon's soul from his body, her eyes suddenly narrowed.
This is a scene that Maka can imagine, and when Haierbo made such a move, his purpose was most likely to obtain the summoning part of "Abatail" from old Youn.
At the moment, Helbo, who has captured Ewan Ravenclaw's body, is already very difficult to deal with. If he gets the complete Demon Summoning Technique again...
Maka dared to conclude that even if he succeeded in destroying the Devouring Mirror, the remaining "other half" Haierbo would become an almost unsolvable problem.
As the saying goes, "The most terrifying enemy is the unknown" - without knowing what the "demon" is, he doesn't want to gamble with his life on the future.
Not to mention, Old Yoon also hides many other secrets!
Therefore, at the moment when Haierbo pulled out the soul of old Youn, Maka almost without hesitation cast three blue and white regular beams with different angles with one hand.
Even if he couldn't kill Haierbo in an instant, he could still do the next best thing and freeze two more of the opponent's arms first!
At that moment, the attacks distributed in an inverted triangle blocked Haierbo's movement.
If he simply wanted to dodge by moving left and right, he would inevitably suffer at least two of the attacks; and if he simply stayed where he was, he would be hit by three attacks at once.
Unless he chooses to jump up directly, if he is faster, he may be able to avoid losing some of his flesh and blood from being frozen.
Of course, the physical regeneration ability of the male Dream Demon bloodline is not unlimited. The magical ability of exchanging physical activity for growth usually comes at the cost of a lot of lifespan. As for Old Youn's body that was transformed from his bloodline, it has already passed a thousand years. Who knows how much longer can Haierbo be allowed to squander it
But if Haierbo really dares to leave the ground... The wizard's flying method is far less than the speed he can run with his strong legs.
Therefore, Maka is completely forcing Haierbo to choose a space movement that cannot carry the soul to dodge.
However, Haierbo just chose not to move!
When the guy noticed that three dazzling beams of light suddenly lit up and were heading towards him, he turned away decisively.
Regarding this, Maka could only lament that he was also a "cruel person" and at the same time waved his hand.
The light beam formed by the power of rules cannot only go straight.
If he shot it directly, he might be able to freeze most of Haierbo's body, but there is still a high possibility that Haierbo could use the soul rules to extract the memory of old Yoon.
Therefore, he only has one option left - to destroy Old Yoon's soul first.
It wasn't until the moment this decision flashed through her mind that Maka suddenly understood:
It turns out that this is the idea of 'sacrifice others' that he has never been able to understand before? It turns out that when you want to protect more than just yourself, will some seemingly contradictory practices be given another meaning
For a normal person, taking away a fresh life will always make people feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, a sound that sounded almost like a dying struggle made him stop the movement of his left hand.
"Don't...leave me alone, complete...the last step!"
Such a concise sentence has become the last trace left in this world by Ewan Ravenclaw, who has been away for thousands of years.
Even the cry from the soul cannot be heard with ears.
Quietly, the soul in Haierbo's hand suddenly exploded and turned into nothingness again in his sight.
"'Where did the dead things go', 'turn into nothingness'..."
Maka still remembers that this was the first question asked by the Bronze Little Eagle back then, and this was exactly the way he answered it. But it wasn't until today that he discovered that the answer was much more profound than he imagined...
Also, much heavier.
To be honest, as she watched Old Eun choose destruction without hesitation, Maka became even more curious about "Rowner Ravenclaw", a witch from thousands of years ago.
What kind of woman is she who can make a man wait for a thousand years for her decision, only to give up at the last moment
At this moment, Maka didn't feel sorry for Old Youn, because he knew that there was no sadness or pain in the other person's heart from beginning to end.
Such people are worthy of envy.
After witnessing an unremarkable scene of suicide, Maka suddenly nodded in her heart. At the same time, his right hand, which had not moved since the beginning, suddenly tightened his grip on the staff, and a burst of light burst out from the body of the staff.
He had been waiting for the perfect opportunity - at this time, Haierbo was almost completely frozen in the ice, and his back was turned to him.
If Haierbo hadn't wanted to read the memories in old Youn's soul just now, Maka wouldn't have been able to get such a good opportunity.
It can be said that this is what Old Youn paid for with his own life.
Waiting for the burst of light to disappear in an instant, a large amount of magic power quickly transitioned along the body of the staff into the rune pattern that was still running in the faint blue light.
Immediately, the formation diagram, which was only partially activated each time at first, was finally fully lit up!
Next, the entire rune array began to operate, and it used all its strength to accurately pull a certain "boulder" that was peeled off from the comet due to the collision.
In this regard, all Maka has to do is to supply sufficient magic power, and all other calculations have already been engraved on the curved stone slabs.
But Maka still failed to expect that in the face of real accidents, those situations just now were actually insignificant.
At the moment when the formation was activated, his eyes suddenly blurred, and then he felt an extremely smooth spatial vibration.
And when his vision returned to normal, the extremely familiar sight not far away made his scalp tingle.
"How is it? Young man... do you feel 'surprised'?"
