Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 63 Artificial Magician Tengu
"Genichi-kun, this matter is secret information that only a few people in the upper echelons of the entire magic world know the details of. Please don't tell others casually, as it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Suzuki Kazuya, who was walking in front, explained to Kangenichi. After hearing this, the latter remembered the few words recorded on the burned piece of paper, and then smiled with an unclear meaning: "That's right, after all, that's the case. An unheard of technology, the so-called 'artificial magician'."

Suzuki Kazuya showed a gentle smile for the first time: "It's not as powerful as you think, and there are many side effects. For example, one of our former companions is out of control. He has completely lost his self-awareness and has become a mere A monster following the instinct to kill."

This Suzuki Kazuya is obviously much older than Shenyuan. He can be regarded as a senior both in terms of age and position. However, he has always used the honorific title for Shenyuan, and there is no awkward feeling at all.

Although he said it easily, the information they confided to Shenyuan shocked him to the extreme immediately. By combining spell tools or objects with people with incomplete spell caster talents, a person can be born. A man-made magician who transforms the power of spells into his own spells!

Such technology is unheard of!Although they may not have finished the specific information in detail, there must be some restrictions, side effects, etc., and the technology involved is probably very rare. Otherwise, wouldn't all those spells and tools be able to create a magician?

But why was such information suddenly disclosed, and the target was still the Gojo teacher who was against them?As for why it is impossible to deal with the target, just listen to it. Shenyuanyi doesn't think that the senior officials who have mastered this technology have not created some magicians early to act as their strength.

Even if the target is particularly difficult, as long as it has not reached a certain level, for them it is just a matter of how much it will cost, so...is this a show of strength?No, it's too stupid. Some powerful people cannot be touched and controlled by such cunning tricks.

Is it a sign of goodwill?Their previous attempt to harm Japanese knotweed failed, so they adopted a conciliatory plan?Do those old guys have such good intentions?
Suzuki Kazuya pointed at the unusual scene in front of him: "That's the barrier there. Its function is to trap the out-of-control person inside. All the people inside have been evacuated. Once the barrier is opened, its effect will increase over time." It disappears quickly, and the mission target is completely irresistible. Please exorcise it on the spot."

It is a very magical scene. Only when you get closer can you see its abnormality. There is an illusory mirror-like cover around the village. From a distance, there is nothing unusual about the scene here. The trees, houses, and sky are all the same. , but look closer and you'll notice a clear line between these mundane sights.

Divided into two sides by this boundary, the scenes on both sides seem to be forcibly pieced together, and the connection is very awkward. You can easily find it if you stand in front and observe carefully.

Suzuki Kazuya immediately introduced the mission target information to Shenyuan at the beginning: "The source of the spell used by the out-of-control person is the legendary Tengu. The currently known abilities are extremely strong close combat and learning abilities. The target's intuition and ability in battle are Progress is extremely terrifying, and it can be said that human skills are just small skills that can be imitated, learned and surpassed at will."

"Zenyuan Naoya has fought against the opponent before, and his spells only achieved good results in the first round. But in the second fight, his spells were seen through, and he was easily defeated. The magician we sent No one can fight with it in close combat for more than ten rounds."

Shenyuan Yi also understood that there was a being that could not compete with him in close combat skills, and his combat intuition also allowed him to quickly discover the weaknesses of the enemy's spells. He was simply a perfect machine for close combat.

It is very simple to deal with this kind of guy, just use the technique to crush him directly. For example, if Teacher Gojo comes, even if he uses all his skills, he will be wiped out.

There were also some spells that could not be broken or compensated with skills. Shenyuan Yi also thought about why they came to find him.

"Finally, I don't know whether it is the effect of a spell or a spell. The target can control wind to a certain extent, and mixed with its spell, it has good lethality, but it won't be a problem for you."

After Suzuki Kazuya finished speaking, he took out a piece of talisman paper, and after getting close to the barrier, it burned out of thin air. Soon the scenery over there began to fluctuate, and a hole as high as a person appeared where the talisman paper fell.

As we slowly walked deeper into the village, the surrounding destroyed scenes also attracted Shenyuan Yi's attention. Those mud-brick houses that were not particularly strong were already torn apart, as if something was running rampant and dismembering them. Average.

"The body is not big, but the attack range of the spell or magic effect is not small, and it has a strong cutting ability. It is exactly what he said, and the target's body is also very strong, and it can fly."

After observing the traces, Shenyuan Yi came to this conclusion. He could imagine the mission target quickly passing by these houses, and the wind current surrounding it easily crushing the masonry and rubble.

Following the chaotic traces of spell power around him, Shenyuan came to a position close to the coast, and then saw a standing figure in an open space. It was estimated to be more than two meters tall, with a pair of black wings folded behind his back. It is also very huge together. It holds a sword in its right hand, and its hanging left hand seems to hold a black feather fan.

Sensing the undisguised arrival of Shenyuan Yi, the being turned around, and the wings behind his back suddenly spread out. Then a strong wind suddenly rose, and the flying weeds and sand were cut straight away by a sharp blade, and the sharp edge pierced in an instant. Arriving in front of Shenyuan Yi.

But this tall figure then flew back faster than when it came, creating a huge sand pit on the ground, and the flying sand fell down like rain.

"It looks quite like the image of the Tengu in the legend."

Shenyuan looked at the embarrassed figure on the ground. Its face had been completely changed by some kind of sudden bone material mixed with flesh and blood. Under the messy hair was a twisted face, which could be considered to be an extension of the nose. Very long, red-black eyes filled with pure desire to kill.

The left hand holding the feather fan is not actually held with five fingers, but the fan made of feathers is pierced into its metacarpal bones from the handle. It is not known whether it is pierced in or connected with its hand bones. .

There is also this aura that feels like a curse but at the same time it also has a human aura, very much like a transformed person after being transformed by a real person, or the half-human, half-cursed feeling that Hishito Hibiscus feels after his body is taken over by Su Nuo.

In this case, it is estimated that ordinary people can also see its existence. As expected, it was transformed by humans.
Shenyuanyi did not choose to kill the target immediately. Although the reward for his mission was the feather fan in the target's hand, which was the cursed object that was fused with it, but although the one in front of him was an out-of-control failure, it was still a success. It’s hard to kill the sample immediately.

Let's call it Tengu for the time being. Shenyuan Yi's simple test attack just now did not seriously injure it. He quickly jumped up from the ground and floated in the air under the wings behind his back.

It stands to reason that the wind generated by the opponent's size would not be small if he were to fly, and the frequency of flapping his wings would not be so low, so after Shen Yuan carefully inspected it, he noticed something unusual.The wind currents surrounding Tengu seemed to be mixed with unknown spells, and it was these strange wind currents that lifted it into the air. The flying Tengu raised the sword in his hand again, and the wind currents around him suddenly became louder and louder. A roaring sound.

"Can you still hear and understand?"

Shenyuanyi, who just asked casually, didn't expect the other party to have any answer. In addition, he also tried to test whether the other party had any thoughts of curse after losing his human consciousness. At present, it was basically confirmed that although the other party was not weak, , but is not high in intelligent thinking, and may only have the instinct to fight.

"Try to cut off that fan. What will happen if you lose this charm?"

The Tengu's figure was almost completely obscured by the turbulent wind, so what hit the divine source was a large "meat grinder" composed of blade-like wind blades.

After taking out the annihilation, the divine source condensed the bow strings and arrows, without using any spells, but simply outputting the spell power to increase its intensity.

The arrows that roared and bit away like a wild dragon, after hitting the Tengu's attack head-on, were dispersed by the strong wind, revealing the situation inside. The arrow shot by the divine source had been captured in his hand. The sword cuts him off in the middle.

The Tengu's left hand had already made a gesture of raising and swinging down. The feather fan suddenly fell down, and the whistling spell power circled and intertwined in the air, evoking a terrifying wind pillar.

After falling to the ground, another layer of the ground was cut off, forming an obvious concave terrain, but Shenyuan Yi was no longer there. The Tengu in the sky showed no hesitation. On the way to turn around, it raised its head. He grabbed the blade in his hand, but still took a step slower.

Messy feathers mixed with blood fell like rain, and there were many big holes in the body of the Tengu that fell to the ground. The more serious ones were the shattered wings on that side and the left half of its shoulder.

Even so, Tengu quickly adjusted his body shape in the air, landed on the ground with a lightness that was not commensurate with his body shape, and cut off the half of the wings that had been broken and became an obstruction with a backhand knife, and then left the blasted wings in place. A large area of ​​sand was raised.

Five rays of sword light suddenly appeared in front of Shenyuan Yi. The real edge was definitely not an illusion, but Shenyuan Yi still looked as calm as a bystander.

This so-called "Tengu" has a powerful body, magical power like a wind blade, high-speed cutting properties, and extremely strong fighting skills and learning abilities.
If most spellcasters who are close to fighting to exorcise cursed spirits encounter it, I am afraid that the latter will be a real nightmare. Unfortunately, it is still a bit unsatisfactory, and it seems to have no domain, otherwise it would have been used. .

As soon as Shenyuan appeared behind Tengu, the annihilation in his hand had been replaced by a Doji Kiri, and he held a black feather fan in his left hand. There was a severed hand attached to the handle of the fan, and the first part of the broken hand fell. Drops of blood.

After the Tengu lost his left hand and the feather fan that grew with it, he turned around almost as soon as the source of the magic lifted the spell. The Tengu's astonishing and abnormal fighting skills and intuition faced this undefendable force. The attack is also very weak, and the two sides are not in the same dimension at all.

But at this time, apart from the instinct to fight, the Tengu didn't even have the option to escape. Of course, whether he could escape was another matter. After cutting off his left hand with the feather fan, Shenyuan stepped back a little, ready to watch. See what will happen after it loses this charm.

After losing half of its wings, the Tengu did not remain in this unbalanced state for too long. After a short period of time, it adapted to the situation and did not see any abnormalities while running. The remaining half of its wings was even used as a weapon. On the offensive.

After blocking the frenzied wind blades set off by Tengu several times, Shenyuanyi could feel that its attacks were much weaker. Although it could still use this ability, the loss of the feather fan still weakened it.

The Tengu has indeed broken away from the category of cursed spirits. The injuries on its body were all treated with reversal techniques, because after being seriously injured by Shenyuan Yi in the air, it could not understand the wave of attacks and gave up flying. In combat, it no longer wastes mana on repairing its wings, and instead focuses all its energy on close combat, which it is better at.

This kind of fighting intuition and talent are quite good, and all moves are futile in front of it. Shenyuan Yi also relies on the effect of the spell to avoid its sharp and deadly attacks from time to time.

However, speed within the ordinary range has little effect on Tengu. According to Shenyuan Yi, it seems to be able to lock the direction and timing of the attack based on intuition, murderous aura, and even the placement of your gaze.

Therefore, Tengu can often achieve the goal of "being first, first". At present, the problem is probably all figured out. This Tengu is probably above the level of a first-level magician, and if the opponent is a melee type, it can even form a crushing force. situation.

I just don’t know if it was so strong as a human before it lost control. And even after this curse leaves it, there is a certain connection between the two. Shenyuan Yi cannot use this curse, and the destruction is impossible. It's difficult to do, and I don't know exactly how to transfer its power to people.

"That's almost it. No matter how specific it is, only the people who implement this project know about it. Unfortunately, most of the time they won't let me take the body away."

After all, strictly speaking, this is his companion. You said you wanted to take the body back to 'study and study', but you didn't completely break your heart. It was still inappropriate to do so.

But the main reason is that this Tengu is not an isolated case. It is just an out-of-control existence. Since the top management chose to disclose this secret news, it means that there will be follow-up. The Kamo family and the Zenyuan family are really involved. Less.

Blood splashed on the sand and turned red. Tengu's body maintained the posture of drawing the sword, and then suddenly his body left his legs and fell forward. At the same time, the ordinary cursed sword in his hand suddenly broke into pieces.

As if this was a signal, the Tengu's arms, body, and wings began to "dislocate", and blood flowed out from the intersecting places. The weird face and the bones on it were also torn apart, and his eyes also followed. Lost its luster.
