Annan said to Ailei subtly: "This kind of irritable old man who destroys the school is quite easy to understand in a sense."
Once you understand... you really know what shit to do as soon as you stick your butt out.
The fundamental idea behind destroying wizards is the theory of deterrence.
They pay attention to the idea of being ready to act - so the more excellent a destructive wizard is, or the more he thinks he is excellent, the less he will actively do damage.
Their spells are extremely powerful and can easily smash city walls, shatter mountains, and burn down cities. However, they usually choose the type with the least movement and least destructive power on the premise that they can accomplish their goals.
This is to maintain one's own "comfort" and to maintain "deterrence".
...This is because the Destruction Wizard does not have the defense capabilities to match his destructive power.
Without fortresses, airships, towers and other terrain tools that are convenient for casting spells, they would usually be in the embarrassing situation of "a killing radius of ten kilometers and a casting radius of one kilometer".
It is for this reason that the Wizard of Destruction developed another sub-school of spells.
Just like the idol school has a distinction between the "law of similarity" and the "law of contact".
Some destructive wizards specialize in instant death spells. This is also known as "silent destruction".
Annan had used Arthur's body in the prey nightmare and experienced his fighting method - Arthur's fighting method back then was obviously to first release his floating cannon, and then launch unlimited covering high-altitude bombing.
And now, it is naturally impossible for Arthur to forget that kind of fighting method.
However, because Arthur was the one who was left by Selicia to look after the family in Silver, he never saw the scene when Elle turned into an angel. He did so without warning and without knowing it at all.
Without any intelligence, the nightmare was sucked into it.
In his opinion, Ai Lei is an ordinary ritualist...because she doesn't even have a carrying object on her body.
This means that she is not bound by a curse. Naturally, she cannot be an extraordinary person.
There is indeed nothing wrong with Arthur's deduction.
It's just that he subconsciously ignored another possibility: besides ordinary people, there are also gods and saints who are not bound by curses.
They have switched to the holy contract, and the power of the contract is extremely stable, so naturally they no longer need a carrier to bear the curse.
So facing such a lovely girl who is not even a transcendent, Arthur is still very gentlemanly and chooses to use instant death spell to kill her instantly instead of burning her alive.
The first spell to use is an instant spell called "Death Contact". It can be triggered whether it is shaking hands or directly touching the exposed skin of others with your hands... You only need to maintain the contact for ten seconds to cause it to die.
Death occurred instantly and completely painlessly.
The specific cause of death was that the brain was instantly melted into pulp.
And the spell he will use later, which is an instant death spell called "Cardiac Arrest", is even more common.
Because it is the most powerful killing spell that a silver-level destructive wizard can use - it only requires a pure red ordinary glove to crush a person's heart from a distance.
This is a powerful curse that is almost irresistible.
Even a gold-level transcendent must be protected by the power of elements in order to be immune. If he is attacked like this without warning, he will be killed instantly.
It also has many restrictions... For example, it can only be used once every thirteen days, the opponent must be within the sensing range, there cannot be a third person blocking it, and the two people are looking at each other at the moment of the curse.
But this does not change the fact that it is the most powerful anti-person spell that the school of destruction can master. The materials are simple and easy to obtain, the consumption is very low, and it does not require any chanting.
This is just an order spell, and it will not increase erosion when used - and as long as it hits, even a strong person who can survive without a heart will be severely injured instantly.
It has only one flaw.
That is to say, this is an "instant death" effect... There are rituals specifically used to resist instant death, and there are also some low-end spells that can have this effect. For example, Annan had seen it in Fort Ross, and he had been beaten by Ya
The hunter brother who was blinded by Ser... He specially prepared the curse to resist the instant death spell.
This is obviously preparation with Arthur as the imaginary enemy.
As an angel in the dual realms of "skeleton" and "betrayal", Airei has the special ability to die by reflection.
By the way, [ Source Changing Artifact APP ] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
If Annan hadn't wanted to get more information out of him, Arthur would have died suddenly on the spot after shaking hands.
--Yes.
Annan kept retreating before, not to keep "himself" safe... but to try to keep Arthur alive for a while without being shot to death by him.
After Arthur also died, Ailei asked quietly in her heart.
【...Aren't you afraid, Annan?】
"What are you afraid of?"
Annan said with some surprise.
[He has no grudge against you, nor does he have any hatred for you. He just wants to kill you. And in his opinion, his actions are even just...]
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
Annan sighed: "You are too kind, Ai Lei. You are no longer kind, but almost weak."
【But……】
"It was just a mundane interaction."
Annan used Airei's body and showed a smile as compassionate as a Virgin: "It's just...strangers killing each other for the sake of victory.
"He wants to dominate this nightmare, and so do I. But there is only one person who can dominate everything... So let me ask you, Ai Lei - who do you believe more? In other words, who do you think should be left to do this?
, can more people survive?”
[...It can only be you, Annan. He seems to only care about Celicia and Miss Lucia, so...]
"...Forget it, it would be too much of a bully to ask you like this."
Annan smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
"Ai Lei's" emerald green eyes became dark and deep under the already completely lightless night sky.
——After Arthur died, the sky became darker and darker.
The surrounding street lights crackled with electric light,
It's only nine o'clock in the evening, but this should be considered the finals. Except for Longjing Tea, the rest of the people should be almost dead.
At this moment, the sound of hurried running came from outside the alley.
The figure of Longjing Tea flashed past outside.
"--here!"
"Ai Lei" raised her voice.
Soon, the Longjing tea was poured back following the sound.
He saw Elle in white robes standing alone in the depths of the alley, while Arthur fell to the ground with his left hand stretched out forward, as if saying "Don't stop."
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I saw you disappearing for so long that I thought you were attacked or crazy..."
Longjing Cha complained: "I was so scared that I quickly chased after him."
"It's not a big problem, it's all expected."
"Ai Lei" lowered her head, glanced at Arthur's body, then looked at Longjing Tea, showing a gentle and pure smile: "You are the only one left now... Do you want to do it yourself?"
"...If you come, will it not hurt?"
"I think the difference shouldn't be big."
"Then I'd better do it myself."
Longjing Cha said simply: "I'll leave the rest to you, boss!"
After he said that, he raised his gun, turned on the safety and pointed it at his forehead.
The next moment, the cursed bullet was activated - it directly shattered Longjing Cha's head.
Such a clean and tidy death deeply shocked Ai Lei.
【Why...can he face death with such courage?】
"This is the difference between me and Arthur, Ellie."
Annan said leisurely: "All Arthur wants is to be alone. Although he behaves elegantly and calmly, this is to cover up his loser nature - back then, he vowed to become a golden-level big shot.
.But now he doesn't mention it at all.
"His message has already been hammered down. He's just convincing himself.
"But Longjing Tea and others are different. It is precisely because they know that... no matter what means I use, I must win; what I want is a perfect victory for the most benevolent and kind. Therefore, even under any circumstances, I will never
get away--"
——That’s why they still choose to believe in me between life and death.
Only then will they give me the hope of escaping this nightmare.
Before Annan could finish speaking, the increasingly dark night had already opened its fangs.
From top to bottom, it swallows up everything in the world.
When Annan opened his eyes again, he woke up in a room with a strong sense of déjà vu.
This was something he'd seen in his gallery nightmare...
