Siren Blade

Chapter 47 Charm Strike
What caused the wall to shatter was a huge demon, which slammed into this place brazenly and attacked us.

Judging from its appearance, this demon looks like a human arm, as big as a giant monster that appears in a horror movie, and crawls on the ground like a python, which is creepy.When Joan saw the demon, he yelled in horror: "It's the demon that ate the senior!"

This demon is not only huge in size, but also crawling over at a frighteningly fast speed.It can be seen that among the many demons that appear in this different space, it is considered a powerful individual, but it is impossible to injure the other two under my nose.Before it could close the distance, I rushed in front of it and swung the Siren Blade.

With just one blow, the gigantic demon was split in half by the ax from head to tail.Given the size of the opponent and the size of the weapon, it is unreasonable. The depth of the wound depends on the length of the weapon. To split a huge enemy in half requires a huge weapon.If the weapon is as small as a toothpick relative to the enemy's body, then it stands to reason that it can only cause shallow wounds as toothpick.But spiritually powerful weapons can sometimes do some unreasonable things. As long as the power contained is strong enough, even a small dagger may split a house in half.

However, while I was killing the demon, something new happened.A familiar figure suddenly shot out at high speed from a blind corner of the abandoned game hall, and its target was Joan, who was focusing all his attention on me.

The figure is the man in the middle, he has already lurked nearby at some point, and made a move while I was away from Joan!

Judging from the distance, it was too late to rush over, so I aimed at the middle man without hesitation, and projected the Siren Blade.The man in the middle didn't dare to take it hard, so he had to stop the movement first, turned around to avoid the projection trajectory of the Siren Blade, and reached out to Joan again after dodging.

Then—I projected the Siren Blade again.

The Siren Blade is not a weapon that can only be picked up by me after being projected out. I can call it back to my side anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, perhaps because he is summoning with his own power now, the response speed of the summoning seems to be much faster than that of the devil period.Coupled with the fact that I don't lose all my power now that I drop my weapon, I should be able to repeat this cycle of casting and summoning many times a second.Thinking of this, I seem to have a new long-range attack inspiration.

But now is not the time to experiment with new tricks. Taking advantage of the middleman being forced to retreat again, I finally rushed to him and launched a melee attack on him.He couldn't stand it anymore and backed away again and again.

I noticed that he is still in the same swollen and distorted posture as last time, as if he was burning with life.According to Jade Bird, this is a common trick used by demon warlocks to exchange a lot of life force, or even a lot of lifespan, for power from demons. Even if he still has life to burn, it stands to reason that he cannot reuse it many times in a short period of time That's right.But from yesterday to today, he has used it three times in a row.It's obviously a hole card, but it's used as a normal skill... Could it be that he didn't need to pay so much for using this trick?Or is it that he is using a clone now, so it doesn't matter?I don't feel like that should be the case.

In addition, I can't detect the succubus now, which means he hasn't joined the succubus yet.Having said that, he couldn't help but shoot when he saw me temporarily staying away from Joan, which showed that he had a desire for Joan that exceeded his own rationality.What motive is this based on?Is it a perverted fetish, as I first thought, or a need for a demonic ritual, as I later thought?
"What is your plan with Joan?" I asked.

"It has nothing to do with you." He sneered, "I advise you to obediently return the person to me, otherwise you will never get out of the different space. Or are you waiting for rescue from the outside world? The entrance is completely sealed, and this place has been cut off from the real world. You will either starve to death here, or eat the food here, and become a resident here forever."

"Return it to you?" I asked back, and said, "Joan doesn't belong to you, so stop treating others as your own."

"You have no right to say that to me, Demon Li Duo. Don't you understand such a simple truth?" He said, "No matter who it originally belonged to, as long as it falls to me, it is mine! "

Having said that, he took the initiative to fight back, trying to catch the flaws in my moves.

In fact, no matter whether it is the blue bird or the middleman, the fighting skills are much better than mine.In the past, I relied entirely on my immortality and infinite physical strength to fight randomly. Dodging and blocking were done incidentally, and I never cared about the distribution of physical strength.In the dream, I think that the magic fighting skills are just a rookie's impression. In reality, I am simply Yeluzi.

However, the difference in speed and strength was still enough to smooth out the disadvantages of skills, and the counterattack of the middleman was simply blocked by me.And for some reason, although Jade Bird always said that the middleman has the ability to read and predict the enemy's chances, I can't see that he has any performance in this regard.

"Why can't I read it..." He also seemed very confused, and asked through gritted teeth, "Don't you have any killing intent?"

Why should I be murderous in the matter of handling the meat?I turned the thought away reflexively, and met his gaze at the same time.His face changed drastically, as if he read something from my gaze, and his body also fell into a strange stiffness.I took this opportunity to shatter his weapon and knock him back.

I suddenly came back to my senses and realized the evil thoughts that had just surfaced in me.

Whenever I thought the ghost of my past was gone, I was always reminded by this unconscious thought.Ironically, this time I actually benefited from this kind of thinking.

"You bastard..." He panted deeply, looked at the broken weapon in his hand, and then at the two people behind me, probably trying to sow discord, "You guys should stay with this devil... ..."

While he was talking, he seemed to be doing something else.Without giving him a chance to stall, I pursued without hesitation.However, the moment before his head was cut off, he quickly lost all vitality, and he lost all strength and fell backwards.

I still beheaded his head, but the cause of death was not my beheading, he committed suicide.

His avatar did the same thing yesterday when he was fighting with the blue bird, and it was indeed a avatar.And the reason why I committed suicide like this was probably because I knew that my Siren Blade could kill the main body through the clone through the experience and lessons learned from the last battle, or the information I had acquired a long time ago. Let the avatar die by itself, so as not to implicate the main body.

Even so, this avatar was transformed by his spell, and the attack just now should have dealt a blow to its body, but it could not be expected to cause serious injuries.After falling to the ground, the avatar disappeared like a bubble, probably because the main body used some emergency means to release the avatar's form, making it impossible for me to continue whipping the corpse.

This is a very clever method, but I have already memorized this trick, and I have also discovered the way to crack it.

At the moment when the clone commits suicide, he will be defenseless, so just kill him at this moment.If he distances himself from me, then just throw the Siren Blade.This is the easiest way to crack.

He must also understand that this is a trick that cannot be used a second time, but he spent it in this kind of place.It seems that he really wants Joan very much.

"Get out of here first." I said to the two of them.

After that, we moved on to other places.The two seemed to have something to say to me, but hesitated.I know that they have some doubts after hearing what the middleman said just now.The girl was silent, hesitant to speak, perhaps out of scruples.On the contrary, Qiao An took the initiative to ask, "The man called you a devil just now... Who is he? What does a devil mean?"

I first explained the identity and possible purpose of the intermediary, and then said bluntly: "I used to be a person full of evil, but now it is equivalent to being recruited."

"Is that so..." His voice was complicated.

"It's normal for you to be afraid of me."

"No, although I don't know what you did in the past, but now you are protecting us, as long as you know this is enough." He said very seriously.

"Really." Then I asked, "Do you have any clue as to why the middle man is after you?"

"No, no..." Hearing this, he was really at a loss.

He must have been very scared when he suddenly learned that he was being targeted by that kind of character.However, he looked at the cowering girl beside him, and said to himself, "If I also have power..."

Then, he looked at me again, and asked the same question that he had after the campus ghost talk last time, "Can I also become a...superhuman like you?"

"It's hard."

He asked curiously, "What's the difficulty?"

"First of all, the difficulty is that you call me 'Supernatural'." Although it is difficult to expect Joan to look at himself with that kind of yearning eyes again, I still try to answer all his questions like last time, "Why? Do you think I'm a superhuman?"

"Because you can use supernatural power." He said naturally.

"Then, why do you think the power I use is supernatural power?" I asked back.

"Uh..." His reaction was as if he was asked why one plus one equals two, and he looked confused, "Isn't it obvious at a glance?"

"Maybe you think the question is self-explanatory, but that's the crux of the matter," I said.

There are many basic differences between warlocks and ordinary people, the difference in awareness is only one of them, and there are also differences in worldview.

Ordinary people do not have a spiritual place in the world view formed by modern scientific education, so when they see spiritual phenomena, they think it is "supernatural".But if one receives the education of a warlock, a completely different world view will be formed.In this worldview, spirituality, like kinetic energy, thermal energy, and potential energy, is an energy that is taken for granted in nature.Even more will not define spirituality as "supernatural", but will treat it as a "natural force" on an equal footing with other energies.

And since spirituality is not transcendent, a warlock who masters spirituality will not call himself a "supernatural being".

In order to make the warlock's consciousness more suitable for casting spells, the warlock family will shape the world view of the descendants from an early age; on the other hand, if the world view of the descendants does not even have a place for spirituality, then it will become difficult to even perceive spirituality.The latter is the education method of Joan's parents, deliberately keeping Joan away from the hidden world through this kind of education.It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and it still falls short.

It is not easy for Joan to become a warlock now. He missed the best childhood for shaping the worldview.The reason why Yuchi's family didn't force Qingniao to return to the family was also because of this, but later Qingniao still showed extraordinary talent, and even became a main-level law enforcement warlock within five years, that's another matter.

After listening, Joan fell into a long silence, but he probably wouldn't give up so easily.

After that, the atmosphere of silence was maintained along the way, and everyone was immersed in their own thoughts.And at this moment, we encountered a man-in-the-middle attack.This is the last attack from a middleman we encountered in the different space. I believe he also came here with the determination that this is the last battle.

But strictly speaking, it was not the middleman who launched the attack first, but the succubus who joined him.

She replaced and disguised as the girl next to Joan, and I don't know when she replaced.Maybe it was when I fought the middleman last time, or maybe it was when I temporarily took my eyes off the girl when I changed places.Although my awareness is specialized in combat, it is inevitable that there will be omissions in places other than combat.It wasn't until the succubus suddenly tore through the disguise and launched a charm on me that I finally realized that the enemy sneaked into my side without knowing when.

To be honest, after experiencing the charm last time, I despise the succubus, thinking that her charm is nothing more than that.But it turns out that she is indeed a species that specializes in charming people, and she only failed once, which not only does not explain her incompetence, but also adds weight to her next shot.This time, she really brewed a charm that is effective for me.

And this well-prepared charm turned into a huge dream, capturing me...

When I came back to my senses, I was already standing in the ruins of a building, surrounded by rising smoke and pouring rain.When you look up, you can see the thick lead-colored sky, and the sound of thousands of raindrops falling on the ground even forms a roar.

This is the past, the day when Lie Que led the team to capture me, the day "it" died.

A nightmare visited us that day.

Or maybe my dream is finally over.

Pale and familiar bodies, which I will never be able to embrace now, slowly crawled out from the surrounding ruins.They gradually gathered around me, trying to excite my body and sinking my soul.One of the bodies stood up in front of me, it looked at me, and then slowly opened its arms, trying to welcome me into that slimy and cold body that I miss so much.

I also unconsciously spread my arms, trying to hug it tightly.

Suddenly, I felt hot in my chest.Stretching out his hand, he found a charred and mutilated amulet inside.

It is the anti-charm amulet that Jade Bird gave me.

If I am charmed, this amulet will heat up and release the power to disenchant.

But at this time, the talisman had even been scorched and mutilated in the high temperature, and could no longer release its power.

But the enchanting dream continued unmoved.
