"Pah...pah pah pah..."
In the dilapidated church, the sound of rubble rolling down from all corners turned into echoes that lingered in the space for a long time.
Luo Zhen, Gu Cheng, Agulola and Atila were all looking at Sendu Mu Yuma who was slumped on the ruins.
"Yuma..."
Looking at Yuma Senduki, whose face was full of dejection, Kojou stepped forward.
The aura on his body had disappeared at some point, allowing Gu Cheng to return to the useless ordinary person he was.
Senduki Yuma smiled sadly at such an ancient city.
"I failed."
This sentence is full of Senduki Yuma's confusion about the future.
no way.
"My failure means that I cannot pay the price required for the contract."
Senduki Yuma turned his head and looked at the guardian behind him.
The guardian, who was covered in tatters, seemed to have no intention of doing anything to Senduki Yuma.
"It seems that does not intend to behead me."
Senduki Yuma said this in a tone that was not lucky at all.
As the embodiment of the contract with the devil, it is common sense that the guardian will kill the user when the owner cannot fulfill the price required to pay for the contract.
And Senduki Yuma's guardian didn't seem to intend to kill her.
"Does this mean that I can't be free yet and I have to continue to fight for this goal?"
Senduki Yuma's tone was bleak.
Failure this time does not mean failure in the future.
As long as the price required to fulfill the contract can be fulfilled, no matter how long it takes, there will be no problem. Unless the guardian judges that the user can no longer fulfill the contract, he will kill the user.
Now, Senduki Yuma's guardian has not taken action against her, proving that there are other ways and opportunities to liberate the prison barrier.
At least, that's what the Guardians judged.
Senduki Yuma had to fight for such a method and opportunity, bound by the invisible curse again.
"As a result, I still haven't been able to gain freedom."
There was no hope in Senduki Yuma's voice.
But...
"Isn't this great?" Gu Cheng said to Xiandumu Yuma: "Since it is not going to kill you, then you can stop caring about this matter and live the life you want! "
Gu Cheng's words are a bit too naive.
Admittedly, based on current judgment, the Guardian has no idea of taking Yuma Senduki's life, but as long as Yuma Senduki doesn't act in accordance with the goal of liberating the prison barrier, it should attack immediately, right
Besides...
"Paying the price required for the contract is an internal command in the heart. As long as the contract is not terminated, you will be tortured by endless anxiety."
Sendu Mu Yuma shook her head and spoke like this.
"It was fine when I was with you before. Perhaps it was because my magic power had not fully grown yet, and the space manipulation technology that could achieve my goals was not yet mature, and I was unable to fulfill the contract, so I could play leisurely. But since you left, When I arrived at Genkami Island, my magic power and skills gradually matured, and the anxiety in my heart began to surface, making me unable to even dream with peace of mind."
For this reason, Senduki Yuma must take advantage of the Hatouin Festival to attack the prison barrier with the witches of LCO.
I'm afraid, that month was also like this, right
When she couldn't use the great magic called Prison Barrier, she could still go to school and live with Luo Zhen. But after graduation, Na Yue's power had fully grown and she could use Prison Barrier, and her heart would emerge. Such a sense of anxiety prompted her to fulfill the contract.
Otherwise, as long as there is a possibility of fulfilling the contract, the guardian will not take action against the user. Then no matter who it is, they can keep delaying the payment and use the power obtained from the devil as they please. It is not realistic at all.
The real reason that forces witches to pay the price, besides the possibility of killing their guardians at any time, is the fact that they have internalized the price of the contract in their hearts.
Now...
"Even has become like this. The contract should have judged that I failed completely this time and can only leave it until next time. Therefore, the endless anxiety that tortured me has disappeared, but it will definitely appear again in the future. I what can we do about it?"
Senduki Yuma seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to have lost the meaning of life. Her whole person exuded a sense of decline like an old man.
This made Gu Cheng sigh.
"Yao." Gu Cheng could only look at Luo Zhen and said, "Do you have any idea?"
Luo Zhen has only one answer to this question.
"have."
Luo Zhenyan gave a concise and concise answer.
"well?"
Senduki Yuma was stunned for a moment.
"Is there anything surprising?" Luo Zhen said calmly: "Although it is a contract with a witch, as long as the contract is broken, the price will naturally not be paid, and this is not impossible, right?"
If nothing else, let’s just say that the I just acquired is good. As long as I use its power, it is not impossible to cut off the witch’s contract.
And Luo Zhen has an astonishing level of magical knowledge in his mind, and there are many ways to deal with a contract.
only...
"I can only break the contract."
Luo Zhen glanced at Xiandumu Yuma and spoke like this.
"And once the contract is broken, you will lose the power of the witch and become an ordinary person. This can be regarded as your punishment."
After all, Senduki Yuma made Nagisa cry and assisted No. 6 in kidnapping Agurola. No matter what the starting point was, Luo Zhen himself could not convince himself not to be angry about it.
Long before the prison barrier appeared, Luo Zhen's anger had been aroused. Now even No. 6 has sacrificed his existence and surrendered forever as the price. Senduki Yuma has just turned back into an ordinary person and can no longer use it. It's just the witch's power, so this punishment is already considered light.
certainly...
"You caused such a big commotion on Genkami Island, and the Artificial Island Management Commune won't let you go, right?"
Luo Zhen spoke without any mercy.
"Just wish yourself well."
Luo Zhen made such a statement.
But this made Senduki Yuma's eyes gradually regain their luster.
"Ancient city."
Senduki Yuma spoke helplessly.
"You've made some great friends."
This is Senduki Yuma's only feeling.
"yes."
The ancient city also responded with a simple sentence, but the weight carried by the words was definitely not light.
The ancient city will never forget how many things Luo Zhen has done for the Xiao family.
Nowadays, Gu Cheng just hides it in his heart. He can't say more, so he simply responds like this.
"Then I'll just assume you accepted it."
Luo Zhen made a decisive decision.
"Yes." Senduki Yuma did not resist and replied directly: "I accept."
Originally, becoming a witch was not what Senduki Yuma wanted.
If he could turn back into an ordinary person, then maybe it would still be what Senduki Yuma dreams of, maybe.
Unfortunately...
"——"No, I can't accept it"——"
When such a voice sounds like it comes from the depths of hell and reaches everyone's ears...
"Uh...ahhh!"
Senduki Yuma, who was paralyzed on the ground, suddenly screamed and stood up.
All over his body, strange magic power surged.
