"Click."
The front door was slowly opening, but Maka didn't move it - it opened itself. Yes, it's like... The palace is welcoming him.
Maka glanced inside and found that although the fog in the main hall also existed, it was much thinner than outside. It was only because there were no lights in it that it still looked very dark.
After a slight pause, he raised his legs and walked in.
"Dada, dada, dada..."
The footsteps of Marca and Willie overlapped with each other, echoing faintly in the hall, which became more and more empty because almost all the furnishings were removed. In addition, there was no movement here, as if they were the only two of them.
But Maka could clearly feel that there were "people" waiting for him in the darkness ahead.
"Da."
Suddenly, Maka stopped at about half the distance, and Willie behind him stopped silently... They stopped in the middle of the hall.
Almost at the same time, grey white flames "bang bang" lit up from the torches on the wall columns on both sides, illuminating the whole hall with a strange tone.
Marca and Willie are not the first group of guests here, but before that, none of the others had the treatment of lighting for them on their own initiative.
It can be seen from this that they... Or more accurately, Marca is important in someone's mind.
When the light of the flame radiated, Maka raised her head slightly, swept over the high-ranking corpses on both sides of the front, and looked directly at the steps located in the deepest part of the hall, which could not be fully illuminated by the light of the torch.
There, a pair of deep ink like eyes were staring at him.
And then, it was Haier Bo who spoke first——
"McLean, good momentum... As I said earlier, in this barren era, you are the only one worthy of my eyes. Now it seems that you have never disappointed me."
Halber's voice was extremely hoarse, buzzing as if it came directly from his chest, but it was unusually loud.
Seeing that Maka didn't seem to have the intention to speak, he continued:
"By the way, I remember I also said - we actually don't have the most direct contradiction. If you like, we may also be partners... Others don't have this qualification, but you are completely different. I believe that you can bring me the greatest surprise, whether as an enemy or as a partner."
Until halbo said this, Maka frowned a little impatiently and said faintly:
"Are you finished?"
After a moment of silence, Haier Bo, sitting on the throne and holding his head with one hand, shook his head and said:
"This is your... Last choice."
When the voice dropped a little, Maka suddenly walked forward and said:
"At least I think there may be many people in the world who can look down on me, judge me and guide me, but you are by no means any of them. Like me, you are just an 'ordinary person' still struggling with fate."
At the same time, more than ten high-level living corpses standing on both sides suddenly shot as Maka approached the throne. Fists, soul flames, magic light arcs, and even weapons of different shapes... Attacks were constantly greeting Maka.
At the beginning, Willie could also use all kinds of demonized plants accelerated by the power of her soul to prevent demolition, but the closer she was to the depths of the hall, the more powerful and strange the power of the living corpses became.
In particular, the last four individuals even master a first-class rule, which is very difficult to deal with skillfully. Even Maka couldn't help picking her eyebrows when she saw it.
However, surprised, Maka's footsteps were the same as when she was outside the square.
When a shadow without substance flew to the ground in front of him, he stepped down and suddenly shook out the living body of the shadow trap;
When the floor around him twisted and turned into orange high-temperature lava swept towards him, he still stepped forward, the magma cooled back to the rock, and then changed back to the flat ground;
Even when the last two corpses with similar appearance released the soul swallowing power that only Haier Bo could toward him, not only did Maka not care about the fierce suction on the soul, but even Willie behind him was not affected at all.
"Bang -"
With a slight wave of his hand, he swept the living corpse in front of him aside, and Maka stepped up the deepest steps step by step.
Then he stood steadily in front of the throne on the steps.
It can be seen from this time that halbo's demon body is really tall. Even sitting, it is higher than Maka standing.
Of course, up to now, I'm afraid no one will judge the strength by size. In terms of size, the biggest one here is the power corpse firmly entangled by Willie's plants below.
At present, halbo is still sitting on the throne. Maka doesn't speak, and he doesn't speak. But when those high-level corpses below still wanted to rush up and continue to attack Maka, he gently waved his hand and let all his men who could move back to their original positions.
At this time, Willie, who had been keeping alert behind Marca, stood up straight again and continued to pestle behind Marca in silence.
A few seconds later, Maka stared at halbo and frowned slightly:
"Why, don't you do it yourself?"
"Oh, no!" said halber calmly. "I don't think it's necessary."
"Are you still dreaming of making me your companion or subordinate?" Marca said coldly, "or do you think even now I will lose as much as you do?"
"No, no, no!" Haier Bo shook his head again and denied, "did you forget what I just said? I said, I never underestimated you - but it seems impossible for you to really defeat me, isn't it?"
Halber is right!
Because even if Maka has learned two branches of soul rules, plus other means, it may be enough to "kill" halbo who has the body of the devil.
But after that?
After all, this problem must return to its origin - as long as the phagocytic mirror is not broken, Haier Bo cannot really die. This is the most fundamental problem that has always plagued Maka.
"So," said helbo, suddenly sitting up straight and spreading his hands, "you see! All this is meaningless. After all, 'procrastination' is never the way to solve the problem!"
"But it is a necessary means to find a way."
Before the words fell, Maka waved her backhand without warning and pressed it straight on halbo's terrible face.
