Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 8 Black Flash
"Is this the mission location?"

Kangen looked at the strangely empty hospital in front of him. He and Maki were each standing in front of the hospital carrying long bags on their backs.

Maki adjusted her glasses: "The window has confirmed that the one in the hospital is a second-level curse spirit. It was discovered a little late and some low-level curse spirits were spawned."

(ps: Window is a professional non-magician who can observe cursed spirits, and is responsible for monitoring in different areas.)
"After clearing out the people in the hospital, we reported it to the police. Speaking of which, the bandage fool really thinks highly of us. He asked us to deal with the second-level curse spirit from the beginning."

The levels of spell spirits and spellcasters are roughly divided into the lowest level four to level one, as well as special levels beyond level one.

Under normal circumstances, no spell spirit of the same level or below is a match for a spell master of the same level. That's why Maki said this. Although she is quite confident in herself, isn't it normal to do it step by step?

"I'll pay the bills."

"Born from the dark, from the dark to the dark. The filth and filth will be wiped out."

As soon as Shenyuan spoke, he formed a seal and recited a spell, and the gray-black "curtain" fell from the sky above the hospital, blocking ordinary people's access and sight.

This can cover up the abnormal phenomena that may be caused by the battle and prevent ordinary people from having unnecessary negative emotions after witnessing it, thus giving rise to a curse.

Not long after Kangenichi and Maki walked in, they saw several cursed spirits with limbs like knives and needles. Looking at the several miscellaneous fish cursed spirits that found this place and rushed over, Maki opened the cloth bag to reveal the naginata inside, and while He held a knife and flower in his arm and sneered at it behind his back, making a disdainful comment: "Ha! These curses, the weaker they are, the more they like to get together!"

Maki stepped on the ground and rushed towards the curse spirits who were unconsciously shouting repetitive words such as pain and not wanting to die, like an arrow from a string.

When they were about to collide, she exerted all her strength, and her waist burst out with powerful force that caused her whole body to twist. She stepped on the ground with both feet and passed by the cursed spirits in an instant.

The naginata she held behind her back was already dancing with her body when she turned around, drawing circular slashes in the air.

When Maki stopped, the curse spirits that suddenly froze stopped shouting and let out a low roar of "ho ho", and then purple-black blood suddenly burst out from the neck, waist, abdomen, limbs and other places. , and then the whole body was scattered on the ground and could not be put together.

When Maki just stood still, she heard a crisp sound of applause coming from Shenyuan Yi, which almost made her feet stagger.

Maki, who had a dark look on her face, turned around and saw Shenyuan Yi holding Zhu Mie under her ribs, applauding with a serious expression on her face. When she was done, she looked over and praised: "Wow! Maki This knife is really powerful, clean and sharp, and hits all the vital points..."

"Shut up! Find the curse spirit quickly."

Maki, who thought that she had just killed a few miscellaneous fish spirits, felt a little embarrassed when Shen Genyi praised her. And because the latter seemed to praise from the bottom of his heart, this feeling became even stronger!
What a pity!Shenyuanyi really thought that sword was very handsome. He used his body to turn around and use the blade to cut off all the vital points of the cursed spirits in one sudden move. He was very skilled, but the key was... it was so handsome!

Maki, who didn't know what expression to put on, walked ahead with a cold face and a naginata. When Shenyuan saw this, she waved her hand: "I'm going to search from the top of the building. Call me if you need anything!"

After receiving Maki's response without looking back, Shenyuan climbed up the outer wall of the hospital to the five-story rooftop with ease. His field of vision suddenly broadened. He looked at Maki on the ground and rushed into the dark building with a knife. In the middle, Shenyuan Yi also turned around and walked into the door of the rooftop.

These curse spirits are very weak. Shenyuan has been killing them all the time without even trying hard. The miscellaneous fish they encountered have basically never been able to carry an arrow. Shenyuan even has the energy to control the power so as not to explode the corridors and walls. Big holes.

Another arrow shot a cursed spirit covered in white sheets into flying ash. Don't tell me that this cursed spirit at least doesn't have that weird appearance. It looks a bit like a dark version of Sunny Day Doll. It's quite cute after looking at it for a long time. of.

Shenyuan, who was thinking wildly, suddenly looked out the window. The annex building next to the main building had just experienced strong fluctuations in spell power, and vaguely noisy noises could be heard in that direction.

It seemed that there was a situation on Maki's side. Shenyuan Yi did not dare to waste any time and pulled out an afterimage in the corridor. However, faster than him was a blue afterimage, which instantly covered the half-man tall man at the end of the corridor. The windows were completely damaged.

Then Shenyuanyi jumped out from it, and the surging mantra flowed throughout his body. In an instant, he spanned a distance of nearly ten meters. Shenyuanyi, who was still in the air, once again condensed arrows, and hit his target on the opposite annex building. Windows broken.

After landing safely, Shenyuan adjusted his posture. After carefully sensing, he found that the fluctuations and vibrations came from below. He was now on the fourth floor. Based on the sound, he initially judged that the battlefield should be on the second floor.

It was too slow to walk up the stairs. Shenyuan Yi silently said sorry in his heart, and then put his right hand on the bowstring of Zhu Mie. A dark blue arrow pointed at the floor in the distance, passing through the heavy stone buildings and locking the perception. Strong fluctuations in spell power.

Maki's spell power is lower than the level of an ordinary spell caster, roughly the level of an ordinary person, so the big ball of spell power underneath is the curse spirit!However, one had to be careful that the aftermath would affect Maki. After focusing on the target for a while, Shenyuan Yi finally seized a fleeting opportunity.

As he loosened his fingers, a large hole appeared on the ground in an instant, penetrating forward slightly at a slight angle, and the floor could no longer support it and began to crack.After Maki entered the gate, she looked like she was running rampant, but in fact she observed the surroundings very carefully. She could not directly observe the cursed spirit by herself, so she usually relied on the aid of the cursed equipment, that is, the glasses she wore to see the cursed spirit. The figure of the spirit.

Maki doesn't have any magic spells, and her spell power is not enough to exorcise the cursed spirits, so she exchanges this for powerful physical abilities, so she can use spells to exorcise the cursed spirits.

The so-called bondage in the magic world is to exchange certain prices for other "things". If these are executed and concluded based on people's will, then there is a rare bond that is born, regardless of whether the person involved is willing or not. , this kind of natural bondage will forcefully take away something from you and give you another talent, so it is called "the bondage of heaven and curse".

It's hard to say whether this "heaven and curse" brings pain or blessing to people, but I think it is more of the former. After all, it is also a "curse".
After easily dealing with several curse spirits she encountered, Maki went up to the second floor and encountered a group of curse spirits again. Most of these curse spirits' bodies were composed of gray-black rag strips, and they were either tall, narrow, or in shape. After Kuan Pang poured out of the wards on both sides of the corridor, he rushed towards Maki with meaningless roars.

Thinking that it was another group of miscellaneous fish gathering together, Maki rushed forward again. In this small corridor, Maki also used the combination of body skills and naginata to swing the sword like a wind and cloud in the corridor. Light.

Scattered and broken curse spirits were scattered where Maki walked. Just as she was about to catch up and kill the last two rag spirit spirits, she suddenly became alert and faced the left with her knife. She only had time to defend herself. Actions.

Then the wall on the left suddenly shattered, and several black shadows broke through the smoke and shot out. Maki only saw a few tentacle-like black objects hitting the naginata in front of her, and then the naginata was struck by this The butt Peiran pressed hard on himself, and the whole person flew backwards into the air.

"cough"

Maki broke through the wall behind her and fell into a ward. She got up. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she was not seriously injured.Before she could take a breath, she quickly turned over to avoid the coming attack. Maki ran out of the ward by stepping on the ground and walls, and then she saw the appearance of the cursed spirit clearly.

It is a bit similar to the previous rags of cloth. Most of its body is made of grey-black, dirty and shabby cloth. Underneath is something like black mist. There is a vague body of flesh and blood squirming in it. Its body shape is also relatively large. It's big, with no limbs or facial features, or maybe the gap between the cloth strips is its "mouth"?
This curse spirit almost filled the corridor, and the flying strips of cloth hit the walls and the ground like tentacles, leaving holes one after another.Maki held the naginata, with a smile on her face full of fighting spirit: "It seems that he is a somewhat intelligent curse spirit, and he also knows how to hide and wait for sneak attacks, but this is a bit challenging!"

Maki, who suddenly rushed forward with the knife, leaned down to avoid the flying attack, then raised her hand from the ground and swung the knife to cut off the rolled cloth strips. The cloth strips fell to the ground as if they were being burned. Usually gradually dissipates into ash.

Under the violent attack of the curse spirit, Maki shuttled through the intersecting attacks like a fish swimming in the turbulent water, and then forced herself in front of it and slashed the body of the curse spirit with the naginata in her hand.

The blade cut through the cursed spirit's body without any hindrance. Several large wounds also oozed out unknown black liquid and black smoke escaped. However, Maki, who was forced to retreat again, frowned: "Why do you feel like this?" The cursed spirit was not affected at all, did it miss its vital point?"

The black cloth crawled like a living snake and wrapped around the wounds on the curse spirit's body. In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if nothing had happened. A cold light flashed across Maki's glasses, and all the previous details quickly passed through her mind.

"Weaknesses! This curse spirit does not seem to have the common flesh-and-blood body and various weaknesses in its limbs, heart, and head, but it must have weaknesses. Continue to test and attack, find its weaknesses, and kill it with one blow!"

Maki then used the terrain of the corridor and surrounding wards to fight with the cursed spirit. At this time, the not-so-wide terrain was still an advantage in a sense. The single attack of this cursed spirit was actually not very powerful. Except for a few attacks with obviously thick strips of cloth, most of them can be cut off by Maki with just one knife.

The trouble is that its body is wrapped in layers of cloth strips. It will be quickly repaired after being chopped. Moreover, its attack method should be to trap the enemy, and then pull it back with the black smoke under the cloth strips. Devouring the enemy, that's where the danger lies.

After dodging a concentrated attack from the curse spirit, Maki suddenly noticed a roaring sound, the direction was overhead!Then in her astonishingly dynamic sight, the ceiling near the head of the curse spirit suddenly shattered, and a blue, condensed curse arrow flew out from it.

The curse spirit seemed to have noticed something abnormal, and the cloth strips waving around it were ready to defend. However, the arrow lost its trace in the next moment, and at the same time, a big hole was opened in the curse spirit's body.

When the roar of the curse spirit first sounded, its body trembled and then strangely opened two large regular circular holes. Maki could only vaguely see some traces that still remained in her memory. The only thing that could be truly captured was There is only the remnant of the spell.

However, after the cursed spirit was injured, its body started to repair quickly again. Perhaps it was because the effect of these arrows was not outstanding, and no more cursed arrows were seen after that. Then a figure suddenly broke open. The ceiling above hit the curse spirit.

"Wuhu~"

A black wave of curse power bloomed with light between the twists. The punch falling from the sky hit the body of the curse spirit hard. The surging curse power that fell with it felt like it paused for a moment in a trance. The terrifying power that followed exploded and blew away the surrounding dust and gravel.

Half of the body of the cursed spirit was turned into ashes, revealing a disgusting sight under the cloth. The real body of the cursed spirit under the cloth was a twisted and tangled ball of tentacled meat with a It has several weird eyes, large and small.

"weakness!"

Maki, who was about to rush forward to fight, saw the fallen Shenyuan showing a smile, making a fist with his left hand and blasting at the cursed spirit. The black light flashed again, and the howling of pain was dispersed before the cursed spirit came. With this movement, the squirming meat ball flying in mid-air was shattered inch by inch in this twisted black light.

"Ah? Why did you fall down before I even exerted any force?"
