Such a thing as "a huge monument suddenly appeared in Muggle city" seems to be no big deal in today's chaotic situation.
The "strategic retreat" initiated by Maka includes not only many wizards fighting in downtown London, but also Muggles as much as possible.
At Buckingham Palace, Archbishop Davidson and Kingsley have contacted the Muggle prime minister, continued to use the army and began to systematically rescue Muggle residents in downtown London.
So theoretically, as long as Maka buys more time for London, the final or future losses can be reduced.
But now, it is impossible to completely eliminate the loss.
"That is more or less a problem."
While struggling to keep moving at a high speed, Maka thought secretly in her heart. Finally, she couldn't help muttering:
"However... It's always good to hurt fewer people."
Maka, who was running at a high speed, suddenly made a mistake and ran out to the side. Almost at the same time, the black figure suddenly appeared near the position where he changed direction, and his fist with a violent air breaking sound tore the residual shadow that he stayed there for a short time because of a slight deceleration.
"Tut... It's really difficult!"
Although Delphi had described various changes in the future to him earlier, it was impossible for Delphi, who was only a child over one year old at that time, to really understand the details of the beginning of the disaster.
In fact, let alone Delphi, even others who have personally experienced the disaster are obviously difficult to get access to information that belongs to the core of the disaster, such as Haier Bo, demon summoning ceremony and so on.
Because most of the people who really touched died.
Therefore, until now, Maka has personally felt the strength of the "devil" that has hardly been recorded in history.
There is no doubt that except for his speed and reaction ability in a short time, he seems to have no place to compete with each other!
"Therefore, it's no wonder that ancient wizards would completely ban demon summoning... Have demons ever been summoned in the past? Then, how did the Wizards solve it? It was crushed purely by the strength of a strong man?"
Maka's brain was not idle for a moment, but after all, there was so little information that she never figured out why from the beginning to now.
Needless to say, he doesn't know what the "devil" is!
A moment later
"Very good, almost finished." he suddenly looked around and said to himself, "just in time. If it takes a while, I may not be able to maintain my speed... Now!"
……
In fact, in Maka's heart, there is another question that needs to be solved urgently, that is, the "black devil" who is chasing himself at the moment... Is it Haier Bo himself?
Although he tried several times, either explicitly or secretly, he didn't try anything. Even his fighting style was different from that of Haier Boda in the past. But even so, he could not fully determine the identity of the other party.
However, since the so-called "devil" has appeared, there are no more than those possibilities about this problem.
Is Haier Bo taking possession of the devil's body? Or did the devil bite halbo, the summoner? Or else, Haier Bo found that he couldn't control this surprisingly strong guy, so he just ran away?
Maka's three guess directions are obviously possible, and in fact, they are. When Maka is leading the devil around the block and seems to be trying to do something, Haier Bo's spiritual will has quietly "awakened" in chaos
"This is... Where?"
Haier Bo, who had just woken up from his coma, only felt that he was light, as if he were lying in the clouds in the sky.
He couldn't move, but even if he didn't open his eyes, he could "see" the scene around him - it looked like an endless fog like rain.
Yes, there's nothing around. He's the only one.
"What's going on? Am I... Dead?"
After a little pause, he couldn't help but say to himself:
"... no, it's impossible! My Horcrux is still intact. I can't die like that!"
Haier Bo still vaguely remembers that he should have been fighting the black devil before that. When he sensed that the magic wave of the other party suddenly came out from behind, a strong wind blew to the back of his head.
Then... Since he didn't have time to escape at that time, the outcome was naturally obvious - he was blasted in the head by the devil.
"Ah! So, at that time, my soul left the broken body and took the initiative to invade the devil's body... It was only because it was too weak at that time that I couldn't leave a specific memory."
Haier Bo knows his soul state very well. Even now, his soul still has little power.
"Hmm?" thinking of this, halber couldn't help thinking, "that is to say... I'm in a state where only my soul exists now? And I'm forced to live in the devil's body?"
Although he didn't know how he could break into the devil's body when he was quite weak, he couldn't determine where he was in the devil's body. But he just needs to understand that he is not dead and there is no threat for the time being, which is enough.
What he has to do next is to see if he can "move" his consciousness first. After all, it would be a waste of time just to float so powerlessly.
But just as halber was going to examine his soul carefully, a figure suddenly appeared from the hazy distance and came to him bit by bit.
Suddenly, halbo stopped self-examination and cast his "line of sight" in the direction of the figure.
As the figure gradually approached, finally, a face with so many impressions also showed its true face from the hazy.
"Oh... It's her?"
Yes, of course, halber remembers this woman - the core of the demon summoning ceremony he chose, the modern witch called "Muriel".
However, even if this person always occupied a very important position in the whole ceremony, Haier Bo only made a slight impression on him. Because in his opinion, this mediocre woman is not worth remembering at all, and its function is limited to a "consumable".
"Mr. halber, isn't it?"
There was no expression on Muriel's face. She just silently "stood" in front of Haier Bo's soul, looked at the latter and asked.
On the other hand, Haier Bo doesn't have the ability to "speak", so he can only look at Muriel without saying a word.
by the way! Isn't the devil's body born based on the woman's body? In other words, I actually stay in this woman's body now.
But... Why does her soul still exist? Shouldn't it have been swallowed up by the soul of the newly settled devil as early as it was "consumed" as the core?
Muriel seemed to quickly realize that halbo couldn't move, and saw her staring at halbo indifferently, saying faintly:
"Helbo... Remember? You killed Martin and brutally killed him... From that moment on, I knew you would not have good results. From now on, you will be trapped here like me. This is your retribution..."
Muriel's tone was always gentle, as if her words didn't contain any hatred. But in fact, it was this kind of indifferent words that showed her deep hatred.
Muriel, who remembers the past, at least on the surface is always very optimistic. She is a woman who can still laugh no matter how difficult life is. But now, there was only cold in her expression.
Since she was a child, she has been determined to study the resurrection potion. The most remarkable thing is that someone died, and the person in front of her easily took away the only person who was kind to her in front of her.
Why didn't she get angry?
Now, halbo finally came to her "face", and appeared in a state of being completely unable to move or even say a word.
So now Muriel has only the pleasure derived from hatred.
"Do you understand? You can't get out!"
However, Haier's indifference and ridicule to Muriel did not mean to be angry at all. No, not only was he not angry, he wasn't even interested in everything Muriel said.
After silently observing the soul state of the other party, Haier Bo suddenly took back his attention and allocated more energy to a thorough examination of his soul.
He didn't have any idea how much time had passed, but in short, he gradually realized what kind of situation he was in,
Then, he carefully perceived the surrounding situation and made a judgment - perhaps, as Muriel said, generally speaking, he was "unable to get out".
Because Muriel's body has long been forcibly occupied by demons, and this will be the place where their souls will be imprisoned.
At this moment, Haier Bo is silently self checking and self conditioning, accelerating the recovery of the weakness of his soul caused by a "death".
Before long, Haier Bo, who could not move at the beginning, suddenly "coughed".
"Can you make a noise?"
