176. Chapter 176: Going Away is the Best Strategy
Chapter 176: Going away is the best strategy
Gray Moon froze at his question:
“I …… shouldn’t I see it?”
“No, it shows that you have a lot of potential to be a psychic.”
Ashitsuki: “Psychic? What’s that?”
“It’s a higher level necromancer.”
Ashitsuki: “……”
I never should have mentioned this ……
She closes her mouth and stops talking to Heine.
Seeing her fall into silence, Heine was still chattering away.
“Are those points of light you see? Are they dense? Are they sustained for long periods of time or are they faint?”
“……”
“Can you see the sky as black?”
At that Ashitsuki looked up but didn’t answer.
Heine probably knew, she couldn’t see it.
Otherwise she wouldn’t have looked up in surprise.
“Were you born with the pupils of the dead ……”
Looking at the eyes under those gray eyebrows, Heine pondered.
The other party obviously hadn’t learned this spell, yet he could see the “meta material”.
This kind of meta-spirit affinity was probably between second and third level.
Although it was not comparable to his fourth level affinity, it was already the highest among the people he had seen.
Born with a different appearance, there really was something there.
……
Soon enough, the cannibal flower led them to their next victim.
The silver colored Dark Ashen Wolf, Wolch.
Unsurprisingly, it was being dangled by Mr. Shadowshire.
As before, black clouds hung down from the sky as if they were rooted tentacles, connecting to Shadow Natsu-sensei like antennae.
There was absolutely no need to fight this kind of battle, the enemy was completely undefeatable.
“Charge over and take that stupid wolf!” Heine ordered.
Kaena babbled back at the cannibals.
But the flower didn’t exactly follow instructions, although it accelerated upwards.
Perhaps thinking that Mr. Natsu was the only one to bully, its vines swept over in an overwhelming manner.
However–
The Shadow Teacher pulled out two Goodnight pistols in his backhand.
The two guns were fired in quick succession, producing the effect of an assault rifle.
Fuck, you’re reinforced too, right?
Heine was speechless for a while and hurriedly jumped onto Wochi’s back.
“What are you waiting for? Run!”
The silver-colored giant wolf finally came to its senses and turned around.
As just given to Daelin’s science, these guys used metamaterials when remodeling their souls, that’s why they turned silver.
That’s why his meta-spirit affinity became extraordinarily good.
The cannibal flower that was almost broken hurriedly followed suit.
Mr. Shadow Summer wasn’t good at chasing and was soon left far behind.
But it didn’t take long for the crowd to run headlong into Uneke, a silver unicorn fairy who was being tortured by Shadow’s sheep-catching.
Looking at the three meter tall sheep catcher, Heine cried and laughed.
You guys are at least bosses ……
Can you not be so timid ah hey?
Imagine the sheep catcher as a three-meter tall giant, but he himself is the same size as a normal person, this is still a fight ah!
So he did the same trick, letting Wochi headbutt Catching Goat, and the cannibal flower flung its vines to block it.
One more member of the escape team.
“Why don’t we fight? Don’t you even know your skeletons?” Gray Moon couldn’t help but ask.
Heine rolled her eyes.
Fight?
Fighting is gross!
Not to mention what kind of monsters these guys imagined out of fear, even if it was a one-to-one replica of the same strength, they couldn’t be beaten!
Besides, they wouldn’t give anything if they fought!
But he couldn’t answer like that.
He revealed a bitter smile:
“I can’t get down.”
Graymoon was momentarily speechless, then nodded thoughtfully.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked.”
……
Blade Mantis was probably the luckiest one.
When he found her, the black warrior brother Arthur was looking around catatonic for her who had turned into a bug.
He had two penetrating wounds in his chest, baring black blood, and an unusually grim expression on his face.
Since he died so quickly, that was probably all she could imagine of Arthur.
This time, with Woch and Uneke pestering Arthur, Cahuna found Mantis, who was rolling around on the ground, and brought her back.
Then, the run continues.
This time with Heine showing the way.
The sky was already getting lower and lower, and the dark clouds, as if they were powerless to keep themselves afloat, were pressing down.
By the time they saw the ten “dung trucks” that were being bullied by Guardian Kite and Mr. Sa, the clouds were already as close as the ceiling.
The black lines became more and more like roots, connecting the two fear incarnations like the god of war.
The intensity of the two was also a notch higher than before.
Chief Sa’s bow and arrow made like a Gatling that wouldn’t fire, and Guardian Kite’s Shadow Javelin was as outrageous as a million arrows.
Luckily, Heine wasn’t trying to kill them. After slightly attracting the attention of the two men and giving the “dung truck” a chance to become invisible, the escape team had ten more companions.
…
Finally, the way forward was blocked by a black wall.
The lead cloud above their heads connected with this wall, and it was as if they had run from the wilderness into a hole in the ground, and finally stepped into a dead end.
A depressing feeling came over them.
This time, even Darlene in the dagger saw this black wall.
Graymoon looked up with a stony face, then back in the direction from which she had come.
“Is this what you were referring to when you said ‘the sky is black’?”
Heine nodded.
“What exactly is this?” She asked.
Heine asked back, “What do you think? How do you feel right now?”
Graymoon pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with sadness.
“Some sadness, and seemingly some anger.”
“You really do have the potential to become a psychic.”
“You ……”
Ashitsuki clenched her fists.
“Just kidding.”
Heine smiled and turned to look at the silver creatures he had brought all the way here.
His smile faded.
A suppressed anger surfaced in his mind, and then the pitch black crown and robes reappeared.
Currently, there were three modes of his “transformation”.
Armor and shield represent the melee form.
The tuxedo represents the scholarly form of a spell researcher.
And the crown and robes at the moment represent the psychic.
In this state, his mastery of psionics would rise several notches.
Some psionic techniques that would have to be used with the help of a spell formation could also be used directly without assistance, and those that could already be used would be upgraded.
For example, the psionic art used for communication went from a one-to-one to a one-to-many.
He established a bridge of communication with all the souls present.
He wanted to make sure that his meaning was accurately conveyed.
“Behind this wall, or this cage is Quirkus.
“I need your help to get to it, and I need enough soul mass to punch through this wall.
“This may be its salvation, or it may be nothing.
“But I promise I will meet him and convey your thoughts to it.”
With that said, he broke off the psionic spell and waited in silence.
The thick leaden clouds, the blackened walls …… were all the corpses of the genii.
In the past long years, countless dead Yuan Spirits piled up such a dead, hard, and cold cage.
If Heine wanted to know how it all happened, she had to face Quirkus in the cage head on.
Was it a cocoon, or was he being persecuted.
Both require an answer.
With little hesitation, these souls offered up their soul mass.
Soft silver light was released from them, converging in Heine’s palm and condensing into a dazzling ball of light.
Their trust and embrace of Quirkus was unreserved.
“Heine~ Heine~”
Kaena’s last voice was far away, as if she was saying goodbye.
The light dispersed, and Heine had a small, delicate bottle in her hand.
It was exactly the same as the vial that Barry had that collected anger.
But it held silver-colored quicksand inside, glittering.
Heine turned to a dumbfounded Graymoon, and an equally shocked Daelin.
“Are you guys going in with me? Or will you wait here?”
“Going …… where?”
Heine pointed to the wall in front of her.
“Will it be dangerous?” Graymoon asked.
“Maybe there is, I can’t say.”
“Then do you have room to protect me?” She asked seriously.
“Definitely not.”
“Then I’d better not go in.”
Ashitsuki was decisive.
Not bad for a guy who could last this long in the flower disaster area.
Heine admired it from the bottom of his heart.
“Back off a bit then.”
“Good.”
Ashitsuki took a reverse backward jump into the fog.
“That was too decisive, wasn’t it?”
Heine bristled and pressed her hand against the wall.
Quicksand from the bottle floated out and wrapped around his palm, etching a large hole in the pitch-black wall, then spreading to a size that could allow one person to pass through.
Heine stepped into it, and the wall quickly closed behind him.
In the blink of an eye, he was completely engulfed.
