"Heheheheheha ...
The soft laughter gradually turned into maniacal laughter.
"Hey, Chang Yan, what are you laughing at?"
Itsuka Shido was the one who asked the question, and upon hearing it, Tsuneo stopped laughing and tilted his head to look at him.
"What are you laughing at? Of course I'm laughing at you! Hehe ...
After laughing a few more times, Chang Yan suddenly widened his eyes and stared intently at everyone.
Those eyes were filled with fanaticism and bloodlust.
"You worthless sacrificial offerings, your behavior truly makes me laugh! Struggle to your heart's content! Continue to frantically please our Lord!"
Then, Chang Yan's expression changed drastically; in an instant, his face became completely calm.
Calm, suffocating.
"That is, you are not dead yet."
Slowly extending a hand
Corpse Explosion
握紧
Upon hearing the corpse explosion, Yuukawa Naoko, Legre, and Daphne's expressions changed drastically, and they shouted loudly.
"Get out of the way! Frostheart - Icy Guardian"
"Radiant Bracelet - Radiant Barrier"
"Atmospheric barrier"
While shouting to get out of the way, Yuuka Naoko and Legley simultaneously activated their magical items, while Daphne used her innate spell.
The corpses on the ground exploded like bombs in an instant.
鲜血
Viscera
肉块
骸骨
A terrifying impact roared and echoed within the small space.
Smoke and dust rose
"It seems you have survived. Good. In that case, you are qualified to become sacrifices for our lord."
As the smoke cleared, Chang Yan's slightly appreciative tone reached everyone's ears.
Everyone looked extremely disheveled.
Although he looked a bit disheveled, he didn't seem to have suffered too much damage.
"Hey, Chang Yan, are you serious? Seriously, are you going to kill us?"
Shido Itsuka trembled as he asked Tokiko a question.
Without a doubt, the spell just now was truly meant to kill them.
If it weren't for Yuukawa Naoko, Legre, and Daphne using magic to protect everyone in time, probably very few people would have survived the explosion.
"Hey, Changyan! Just say it! Are you really going to kill everyone?! Answer me!"
Faced with Itsuka Shido's roar, Tokito calmly uttered words that filled one with despair.
"Of course. If you can't even handle that much, what right do you have to become sacrifices to our Lord?"
"You, what exactly are you...?"
"Enough, Itsuka-kun! Wake up! This Changyan is no longer the Changyan you know! He's just a crazy cultist now!"
Yuukawa Nako's loud shout interrupted Itsuka Shido's words.
Itsuka Shido gritted his teeth and stopped talking.
Seeing that Itsuka Shido had calmed down, Yuukawa Nako also turned her gaze to Chang Yan.
"So, Changyan, could you answer a few questions for me, the sacrificial offering?"
"Interesting. Since you're so self-aware, I'll show you sacrifices some mercy."
Clearly, Yuukawa Naoko's words caught Chang Yan's attention.
"So, did you or your accomplices set up the barrier around this school building?"
"Well, it is."
"Which deity do you refer to as your 'lord'?"
“Very good, it’s rare to see such a wise monk. But you will know the answer to this question soon, I will keep it a secret for now.”
"So, one last question. Are you really Chang Yan? If your answer is yes, please verify with Itsuka-kun and Hyoudou-kun."
Following Yuukawa Naoko's question, Itsuka Shido and Hyoudou Issei kept a close eye on Chang Yan.
They desperately hoped the answer was "no".
Then, their hopes were shattered by Changyan's answer.
"Of course. Don't forget who guided you step by step to get here. If you really want to prove it, well, Issei, did you see the compilation I sent you last time? Weren't you quite shocked by what you saw?"
"Ah, I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Now that I think about it, I really want to punch you in the face, you bastard! You, wake up!"
“Boost”
The Crimson Emperor's gauntlet reappeared in Hyoudou Issei's hand, gleaming with a green light.
This is genuine.
He really often said
This is what Hyoudou Issei was thinking.
The compilation I gave him last time wasn't anything indescribable at all; it was just a collection of videos.
A video titled "Philosophy♂Wrestling♂"
The content is a story about a large group of muscular men wrestling with each other in a place called Shin-Nichiburi.
Is Hyoudou Issei angry?
Of course I'm angry.
So he wanted to use his fists to bring his friend to his senses.
“Boost”
Chapter Thirty-Six: Desperate Power
"Spider Web Hairpin - Spider Web Technique!"
"Super Magic Technique: Silent Spellcasting - Human Freeze!"
"Wind Blade"
Just as Hyoudou Issei threw a punch, Yuukawa Nako activated the magical item on her body, while Legre and Daphne released the spells they had been preparing.
"Utterly useless! Who gave you the courage to defy me!"
The cultist looked at the crowd with disdain, sneered, and released a spell.
"Mental Blast"
An invisible wave surged towards everyone; they could feel as if a bomb had suddenly exploded in their brains, causing them immense pain.
The brain is trembling.
My mind is in a daze.
The spell failed because the caster lost his spiritual guidance, and Hyoudou Issei, who was rushing forward, also collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.
"My brain hurts so much."
"Ah, my brain, it's a mental attack. Hey, Naoko, what's wrong with you? Damn it, it's a spell backlash. Ah, it hurts."
Legre knelt on the ground, clutching his head. He had originally wanted to check on Yuukawa Naoko's condition, but found her lying face down on the ground, her eyes vacant, her body convulsing.
Spell Backlash
If a spell is interrupted by an external force while being cast, a backlash will occur. The more complex the spell, the greater the damage from the backlash.
Just now, when Yuukawa Naoko asked Chang Yan's question, she had two purposes.
The first purpose is to gather information, and the second is to buy Legrel time to cast his spell.
As a fellow student studying magic at the academy, Legley possessed a super-magical skill: the ability to silently cast spells. That's why she deliberately said those things to buy time without provoking Chang Yan.
As Hyoudou Issei threw his punch, Yuukawa Nako seized the opportunity, activated the magic item on her body, and began chanting a spell.
He was then severely injured by a mental shockwave.
The spell backlash combined with the damage from the mental shockwave rendered the mage incapacitated.
"That's right. Your only salvation is to kneel obediently on the ground and become sacrifices to our Lord. But if you can still struggle, please continue to struggle frantically. After all, the more frantically you struggle, the more you will please our Lord."
"Gap of Light"
The dense darkness completely swallowed all the light in this space, and at the same time, it swallowed all the hope of everyone.
This proverb is incredibly powerful.
Powerful to the point of despair
With just one spell, everyone lost their fighting ability.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, casting this spell seemed completely effortless for him.
In this endless darkness, only the sounds of people breathing and Chang Yan's footsteps echoed.
"Rumble"
An explosion rang out, followed by the sound of the floor collapsing.
"For the sake of our classmates, I'll help you open up this floor. Remember to thank me!"
Chang Yan's voice gradually faded, and the darkness dissipated, revealing the people lying on the ground.
......
Silence
Finally, Legre struggled to his feet and, like a drunkard, staggered to Yuukawa Naoko's side, feeding her two bottles of medicine with trembling hands.
The medicine took effect quickly.
After drinking the medicine, Yuukawa Naoko's body stopped convulsing, and her eyes became clear.
"Hmm~"
A groan escaped from Yuukawa Naoko's lips as she gradually regained her senses.
"I am..."
"You're awake now? That's great. I thought you'd been turned into an idiot, Nako."
Seeing that Yuukawa Naoko had regained consciousness, Legre put aside his worries and started teasing her.
Upon hearing that familiar voice and the familiar address, Yuukawa Naoko reflexively said...
"Call me You Chuan! Fine, I'll let it go for now. What about Chang Yan?"
"He just cast a spell called 'Gap of Light,' but it had the same effect as a dark spell. Then we heard an explosion over there; it seems he punched a hole in the floor. Are you still able to cast spells in your current state?"
After describing what had just happened, Legre asked about Yuukawa Nako's condition.
After closing her eyes and sensing her own spiritual power, Yuukawa Naoko shook her head.
"No, my mental energy is in complete chaos right now, I can't even cast a spell. I'll meditate for a while, you go check on them."
