For every time the windbreaker wizard spoke, Maka always listened carefully. Because Maka knows that maybe anyone's words can be ignored, but her suggestions must be carefully considered.
Therefore, when the other party said "wait a minute", even if he had already decided to kill the snake monster, he subconsciously stopped the action on his hand.
The magic wand flashing with cooling runes suddenly stopped on the way.
"What's the matter?"
Maka looked back at the windbreaker wizard behind her, with a trace of doubt and Reflection on her face.
Of course, the magic perception is not even able to sense other people's expressions. In the darkness, the windbreaker wizard with her eyes slightly closed opened her mouth, but she never said what she wanted to say.
In her strange silence, the basilisk, wiped by the beam of Maka's regular power, struggled and twisted because of the pain of frozen skin and flesh.
There is no doubt that Maka's blow just now was extremely powerful - just like the damage caused to it by the flame flying dragon strengthened by Willie's father with a fierce fire bottle.
After all, the injury seemed to be only frost white on the surface, but in fact it froze part of the flesh and blood below.
"Hiss -"
Unable to wait for the windbreaker wizard's next word, Maka was attracted by the snake monster's low hiss. When he noticed the snake monster's state at this time, he frowned a little.
"Huh?"
As far as Maka knows, the IQ of the Basilisk is not high. Because of this, in addition to their special magic power, their behavior is actually closer to ordinary beasts.
Until just now, the confrontation between the snake monster and the eight eyed giant spider, the confrontation with him, and so on, this series of actions basically did not deviate from his expectations.
But now, he can't understand it.
Generally speaking, when wild animals encounter an opponent who is completely powerless, they often choose to run away. Therefore, when Maka stopped because of the windbreaker wizard's words, the snake monster should take the opportunity to break into the encirclement of the eight eyed giant spider.
As a snake monster, even the alienated eight eyed giant spider is difficult to cause damage to it. The previous siege of spiders just proves this.
However, although the snake monster opposite Maka shrank back, it abnormally showed no intention to escape.
Yes, just looking at the timid vigilance, it doesn't even have the idea to fight.
"Did... It judge the gap and know that it could not escape, so it simply lost its will to fight?"
In the thinking of wild animals, such ideas rarely appear. Because for them, every battle will be about life and death. In addition to desperately running away, there are few cases of waiting to die.
So... To be honest, this snake monster is really a little strange!
After being aware of this doubt, Maka turned his head again, and his consciousness stopped at the magic source belonging to the windbreaker wizard behind him.
"Did she just notice this, so she stopped me?"
First, he was asked to wait, but then there was no later words, which inevitably made people feel a little puzzled.
Suddenly, Maka gently shook the still half held staff, and the ice blue Rune on the top of the staff instantly turned into a wisp of fine ice crystals and dissipated. After that, he held his staff flat in front of him again, and a magic wave spread quickly.
Suddenly, another translucent Rune suddenly appeared and hidden, which is undoubtedly the soul rule Rune mastered by Maka.
The next moment, almost all the creatures swept by the magic wave left a slightly blurred image in his mind one by one.
Needless to say, those eight eyed giant spiders, including snakes, insects, rats and ants in other nearby sewers, appeared in his perception one by one.
Obviously, it is one soul after another.
However, the windbreaker wizard closest to Maka, her soul is the least clear. The reason for this is that the other party may also master a branch of the soul rule.
Yes, this must be a key point for Maka, but that's not what he wants to focus on now.
At this moment, what he wants to see is actually the snake monster!
When Maka "saw" the spirit of the basilisk, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
It's like buying potato chips at half price in the supermarket and finding that they are about to exceed the shelf life - although I'm a little surprised, in the end, I'm expected.
"Human? Woman?" Marca frowned and whispered, "hum, is it really Haier Bo? Although he knew he was good at transforming creatures, so far, he has transformed humans into magical creatures several times... It's really incredible to turn a person into a real snake monster."
Maka himself has done a lot of research on biological transformation and blood transformation. Not only the alienated eight eyed giant spiders around, but also the extraction of Willie's blood curse is also one of his research achievements.
But now Marca has to admit that he can't transform people into snake monsters.
Well, even Eun Ravenclaw, the husband of roener, who had died in halber's hands, was only after long-term study of Merlin's notes that he could barely turn a wizard into a magical creature temporarily.
But now in front of Maka is a real snake monster. If he did not explore his soul with the help of the soul rules, he would not even find that he had been a living woman!
Thinking of this, Maka couldn't help taking a few steps forward and came to the middle of the waterway closer to the snake monster.
"Since you were once human, then... You should be able to understand what I said?" Maka could sense that the snake monster moved back again when he approached, "tell me, where is halbo?"
As the voice fell, the darkness fell back into silence.
The Basilisk didn't speak and didn't make any humanized actions... No, maybe the silence of "she" at present can also be regarded as a human expression.
"Hiss -"
Suddenly, a hiss sounded from the front of Maka, which contained some unknown meaning.
Unfortunately, Maka is not a snake man. I don't know what she wants to express. All he knew was that when he found out that it was supposed to be human, things became more complicated.
"Take the mind."
However, Maka suddenly lifted the staff, and the power of the spell was further improved under his understanding of the soul rules, which may help him break through the strong anti magic ability of the basilisk.
But soon, he put down his staff again and shook his head gently.
The strength of the spell seems to be enough, but the spell needs to touch the other party's eyes to play normally. He closed his eyes to cast the mind taking technique, which might be effective for people, but he was more or less reluctant to deal with the basilisk.
"In that case... Forget it, take her away first! When Harry comes out, he may get some valuable information from her memory."
If it's really just a snake monster, it's not meaningful to look at its memory, but if it's a human, it obviously can't be disposed of casually.
However, when Maka thought so, a spatial fluctuation of extremely hedgehog meat suddenly came from behind the snake monster, followed by a fire light illuminating the space.
At the same time, Maka completed a high-speed movement in an instant and withdrew dozens of feet from her original position.
The distance was not far, but it was enough for him to avoid the magic flame that broke through the air quickly.
Was the snake monster's low hissing actually calling people? Maka can't tell whether this conjecture is correct, but at present, it's no longer important.
"... Haier Bo."
With a slight pause, Maka couldn't help but curl her mouth and said in a positive tone.
"McLean, it seems that we haven't seen each other for some time? You know what? I met a successor of spirit summoning in France, which really surprised me... Unfortunately, I was a little busy at that time and couldn't try how much of the essence of summoning he inherited... Hum, what a pity..."
The familiar voice sounded behind the Basilisk and echoed leisurely in the huge sewer. Marca could hear that the tone of the other party was full of ease, as if he had never been regarded as an enemy by the other party.
Is this halber's reserve as an ancient wizard? Or did he already feel that Maka's strength was no longer enough to pose a threat to him?
At this point, Maka is not sure yet.
"Indeed, I haven't seen you for a while." Maka suddenly put away her expression and said faintly, "but I really don't want to see you again. Halbo, what are you planning this time?"
While he was talking, the figure behind the Basilisk slowly paced out from the side, bypassed the Basilisk's huge body and came to a position not far from Maka.
"Oh," said halber with a smile, "yes, I have some 'small' plans, but now is not the time to say them. Don't you think... If you say your ideas in advance, things will change a lot more boring?"
"Really?"
With regard to halbona's interesting nonsense, Maka can only choose to perfunctory, and then ignore it directly. As for helbo's appearance at this time point, Maka can only say that his grasp of the opportunity is really accurate enough!
If it were later, Maka would have taken the snake monster away.
But now he understood that although there was no possibility of bringing the Basilisk back, the difficulty increased a lot with the arrival of Haier Bo.
"Still don't want to say anything... Haier Bo, it's not good for you to hold it so much!"
Maka's staff was shining again.
