Chapter 729

Both ancient magic and modern magic spells will follow the relevant laws of regular runes. The only difference between the two is that ancient magic is based on a single complete rune, while modern magic spells are a combination of multiple incomplete runes.

As far as the difficulty of understanding is concerned, the former obviously needs very sufficient feeling and research to make it play its due role under the condition of accurately controlling the magic to construct the rune.

It can be said that every stroke and stroke of the regular Rune represents the close relationship between the magic flow and the laws of nature.

However, for the latter, modern wizards can easily cast magic spells with fixed effects only according to the previous research results and with the help of those spell words, actions and imagination that have been refined and simplified over the years.

Therefore, there is no need to sense magic, there is no need to interpret the rules of all things, and even the talent to control the flow of magic has been reduced to the minimum of "not Squibs".

Therefore, Maka actually understands Haier Bo's idea, and he has always believed that the combat strength of wizards is declining with the passage of time.

However, Maka also believes that combat strength does not mean everything.

In fact, compared with the seemingly weak combat effectiveness, wizards' control of magic and rules is actually improving.

Take the "Curse of death", the first of the three Unforgivable Curses, for example. Almost no one in ancient times has really solved the mystery of the "rule of death", let alone applied it in magic.

But let alone the entanglement between good and evil, at least one of the ancestors who invented the Avada curse let the Wizards really hold the death rule Rune in their hands!

When Maka cast the miserable green light beam in the form of a silent spell behind halbo, halbo showed a completely stunned expression. Just at that moment, he turned his back to Maka, so Maka couldn't directly witness Haier Bo's true look.

"Death!"

The launch speed of the curse of life is very fast, and the flight speed is not slow, but Haier Bo dodged away in the form of some instantaneous movement at the first time.

One of the defects of modern magic spells is here. The vast majority of magic spells that have strong effect or can make them play a strong effect are basically only shown in the form of magic beam.

This is caused by the original inventors' failure to fully understand the main rules.

"... the rule of death! It's really the rule of death!"

Haier Bo, who reappeared in another place, looked at the position where the green light beam had just passed, widened his eyes and exclaimed, even if the curse of death had already flashed and disappeared.

Yes, every time he avoided an attack from Maka, he would force Maka back. This time, he finally stopped.

Maka knew that halbo at the moment was obviously surprised by the incomplete death Rune contained in the curse of death.

"Is this the magic of today?"

Halber stared at the track of the curse of death, or some magic wave left on the track. In his induction, the mysterious power was like a miracle.

"I thought that no one could touch the truth of death except Kern..." his thin palm trembled slightly outside his sleeve and silently revealed his inner excitement. "Everyone is constantly struggling to avoid death. How many people can have enough strength to turn their hands back to death?"

As he said this, halber suddenly looked up at Maka standing on a stick.

"Young man, tell me - who invented the magic just now?"

At the moment, Maka also stopped the previous continuous attack and was quietly watching halbo. He knew that there would be no gain if he wanted to sneak into Haier Bo again at the moment, because the other party even keenly avoided the just death curse raid.

He just shook his head casually when he heard halber ask.

"If possible, I'd like to meet you!" he said faintly, "but unfortunately, there is no mention in any information I have consulted, which has long become an unsolved mystery."

"What a disappointing answer."

Halber frowned and stroked the white beard on his chin, as if he were sorting out some thoughts. Maka stood in place, as if waiting for something.

However, it was obviously inappropriate to just stand like this. He just gave a little meal and suddenly continued to speak.

"Halber, who is Kern... You just mentioned?" Maka asked casually. "Did he ever study the rules of death?"

Halber, who was thinking, glanced at him. Somehow, he didn't refuse to answer.

"It's not 'he'," halbo said casually. "It's' she '- Kern was a witch with unprecedented talent. She understood the soul rules much deeper than I did. She was a terrible woman. But at the beginning, everyone didn't expect that after studying the soul rules to a certain extent, she really reached out to the edge of death..."

"After that, she disappeared without warning for a period of time. At that time, many knowledgeable wizards thought that she should go to explore the 'edge of death and the present world'." he slowly said, "no one has seen any trace of her activities in the world in more than ten years."

"Until the day she reappeared in front of everyone more than ten years later -"

At this point, Haier Bo suddenly smiled a few times, and his eyes were a little more complicated.

"Guess what?" he said. "The proud but beautiful witch Kern came back, but with her came the complete decay of half of her body and soul - death is beyond human reach, and even the idea of trying to touch is the biggest taboo!"

"Since then, I swear never to get close to death! Unless one day, I can control it absolutely safely!"

Marca nodded her head suddenly.

"So you invented the Horcrux?"

"Yes," said halber with a rather subtle smile, "why, do you want to learn?"

But Maka just shrugged his shoulders, because the production method of Horcruxes has long been no secret.

"I don't want to change my temperament because of the incomplete soul," he said naturally. "As for grabbing other people's souls to make up for yourself like you, it's a terrible choice."

"Oh?"

Haier Bo narrowed his eyes, and then stroked his hands again, showing his appreciation.

"Unexpectedly, you can surprise me again and again," he nodded. "But that's why, young man... I don't want to miss your strong soul favored by the world so easily!"

Just as he said this, Maka was forced to rush forward. Because in the next second, a large amount of flames spewed out from behind him, rolling and rushing towards him like sea waves.

"Don't think my magic is just that --"

Perhaps the things that need to be considered have come to an end for the time being, and Haier Bo is no longer stagnant. But he saw that after calling out the whole turbulent flame wave, he waved his hand again, and then the sea of flame was surging again!

Maka seemed to feel something and suddenly looked back.

I can only see that in the tsunami like flame waves, animal shapes and human figures are rapidly condensing.

There are different kinds of animal shapes, including species still existing in modern times and types he has never seen before. Even those vague figures have their own features, and even giant giants are among them.

"Is this an enhanced version of the fierce fire curse?"

The magic of Haier wave has many similarities with the fierce fire curse that can turn out a lot of fire beasts. No wonder Marca will make complaints about himself in an emergency.

But he also knew that the magic behind him was more than a little more powerful than the fierce fire spell. Those flames are not only frighteningly hot, but also those animal shapes and human shadows gathered by flames are endowed with real souls!

As Maka jumped forward quickly, she drew the staff behind her, and the cold current caused by the cooling rules was immediately spilled out.

However, the flames that had not yet condensed into form were offset a lot, but most of those that had already formed scattered and dodged.

For the time being, Maka can't judge how much wisdom those large and small flame monsters have, but they are not ordinary deformed things. There's no doubt about it.

"Ancient summoning!"

Such an idea flashed into his mind - now was not the time to think about it.

Maka is running, running fast under the chase of fire monsters, and this obviously is not a long-term plan to protect herself.

Because many of those people and animals can fly, and even those who cannot fly because of the species characteristics of the soul, the body composed of fire is as light as a feather.

Even if those guys are not as fast as Maka, the gap between quantity and endurance alone is enough to make up. Maka will be surrounded by land and air sooner or later.

But Maka was still running wildly, and the cold current loomed around him, but it was futile.

Soon after, his hiding space was significantly reduced - many fast flame figures had begun to surround from other directions!

"Young man, don't struggle..." Haier Bo looked at this side from the outside, and the almost kind smile on his face was particularly eye-catching. "In order to thank you for showing me the application skills of death rules, I'll let you personally feel the mystery of death!"

Before the words fell, a green light appeared from his palm, illuminating his old face.
