Chapter 366 The End of the Shikatori Town Homicide Artist
Mikael looked at the bizarre scenery around him, as if he had poured all the paint into a palette and mixed it into a colorful black.
This space seemed to want to evolve something, but it failed in the end. It could not peek into Mikael's memory, so it could only become this half-baked appearance.
"Interesting power...but just too weak."
Mikael waved his hand and easily shattered the space. What he saw was the corridor leading to the center of the theater, and Aozaki Yuko and Ori beside him were also missing.
After walking forward for a while, he still didn't see the exit. The surrounding walls were still the same. If there were any changes, it should include the fork that appeared in front of him at this time.
"So after breaking through the spiritual space, what we are facing is the inherent barrier of the maze type."
Mikael looked at the three forks in front of him that led to unknown directions, and subconsciously touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression.
Although there are many types of inherent barriers, the labyrinth type of inherent barriers is still quite rare. It can be traced back to the formations used by the East during the Conferred God War, and the famous craftsman Daeda ordered by Minos.
An absolutely inescapable labyrinth built by Rus to imprison Asterios.
But then again, it’s really funny that Minos, the king who dominated Crete, was cuckolded by a bull. That bull couldn’t have been transformed into Zeus. After all, this kind of bull was cuckolded by a bull.
He is already a habitual offender.
His thoughts were a little off track, but facing the maze he was in, he didn't feel nervous. Instead, he was as relaxed as a primary school student going on an outing.
He can sense that this maze also contains the power to peer into people's hearts, and based on the judgment of the person involved, he can quietly change the structure of the maze, which means that this maze is "alive".
However, since he could not peek into Mikael's thoughts, he could not make timely changes to the maze he faced, which greatly reduced the difficulty of the strategy.
But Mikael didn't care about this, but chose a path at will and walked in.
Sure enough, after turning a few corners along the road, he stopped in front of a wall. There was no road ahead, and this road was a dead end.
Mikael raised his eyebrows lightly. It seemed that his luck was not very good today. He actually chose the wrong path when choosing one of the three options.
But it doesn't matter, he never relied on these to defeat the maze.
boom--!
With a violent roar, the wall blocking him was shattered with a punch. There was no way in the maze. As long as the wall blocking him was broken, there would be a way.
Perhaps out of dissatisfaction with his behavior, which could be called cheating, the atmosphere was distorting, and the magic power gradually gathered, forming some images that had never been recorded before.
These abstract people and beasts rushed towards Mikael, trying to expel him for violating the rules.
If you are an ordinary magician, you will indeed feel dizzy and anxious, but Mikael has never been an ordinary magician.
"——Dissipate."
Light words came out of Mikael's mouth, but just like God's declaration, the shadows that came towards him disappeared like bubbles in the sun, even the maze that hindered him.
When all the falsehoods are gone, what remains will naturally be the truth.
What appeared in front of him again was the door of the theater. Mikael opened the door and saw a tall and thin man in rich clothes and a mask standing there on the stage at the end of the seats.
"Welcome to my stage, Lord Animusfia, or [The Fool], I don't know which of these two titles you prefer."
He bowed slightly and put on the greeting etiquette. His hoarse voice contained a bit of magnetism, causing subtle vibrations in the atmosphere, and it sounded ethereal.
"I prefer the name Mikael."
Mikael walked towards the stage, walked in front of him, looked at him up and down with interest, and finally laid his eyes on the mask.
His eyes have seen through the essence of the magician in front of him. There is no doubt that this moving body is not a human body, but a shoddy doll that Aozaki Yuiko used to replace the corpse.
And the reason why he can act like a living person relies more on the mask on his face, which is a magic gift that contains the soul.
It was precisely because of this costume that he did not die immediately after his body was destroyed by the fabric, and transferred his soul into this mask.
Of course, this is not without side effects. If the soul cannot be materialized and sublimated to a higher dimension, the soul without the body will eventually have no choice but to perish.
not to mention……
"You're going to die soon. This time you're going to die for real, and your soul will be scattered. If you hadn't opened this inherent barrier, you might have been able to survive for a few more years."
Mikael unceremoniously pointed out the situation facing the magician who called himself an "artist". Regardless of whether they accepted the invitation or not, the magician in front of them would die due to soul collapse by tomorrow morning.
"So what is your purpose?"
"My purpose..."
The magician who calls himself an artist chuckled, his voice rising a few degrees.
"My mission is a hardcore performance. I used to be obsessed with perfection, but even perfection is not enough. Death...can't stop my art."
"Mikael, you should be honored to watch my performance. The name of this performance is People's Heart."
"It's just that you seem to be incompatible with my performance today. A perfect performance should involve the participation of actors and audience. Unfortunately, this performance cannot be perfect in the end."
"It sounds like a good idea."
Mikael sat in the front row of the auditorium with his leisure time, and discussed with the magician who called himself an artist enthusiastically.
"Showing art by showing people's thoughts, well... it is indeed a good way to get to the root. Similarly, I remember Yin Zeluma's research. Their Golden Princess and Silver Princess were through constant transformation, so that they can be understood.
Go to the source of [beauty].”
"No, Mikael, you are wrong. What I pursue is just [art], not the roots."
The artist spoke up to correct Mikael's mistake,
"The pursuit of [roots] is different from the pursuit of [art]. For me, art is my big wish, and I am willing to give everything for it. Yin Zeluma only uses [beauty] as a tool to get to the roots, not simply
The pursuit of [beauty].”
"For me, magic is just a means to realize art. Even without magic, I will still use other means to pursue people's hearts and pursue art."
