Learning has never been easy.
Even if he was personally taught by the most powerful Mages in the world, it wouldn't be as interesting as studying in middle school. In fact, learning magic was a very boring thing. Seiber had a headache when he saw the 183 twisted Soul Runes. It took him a total of 14 days to memorize all of them.
He stumbled into the next stage. His soul is different from other people. It is completely integrated with his body. The advantage is that his soul is not easily damaged. Even in the face of the Ghost Rider's Eyes of Repentance, his soul will not be burned. The disadvantage is that he will die if his head is cut off, unlike ordinary people who can still be saved as long as their soul is intact.
Like most things in the world, the advantages and disadvantages are half and half.
Compared with Saber's difficult situation, Strange is not much better. To be able to become the best Surgeon in the world, Strange's learning ability is definitely not weak. In fact, it only took him 3 days to memorize the Soul Runes. This speed shocked Ancient One, but for the next 11 days, he couldn't make any progress.
It was as if someone had hit him on the head with a stick and knocked him silly. Strange was also very frustrated. He studied almost crazily every day, but there was no progress. This kind of pressure made the Surgeon very uncomfortable and painful.
At night on the 15th day, Saber leaned against his bed with nothing to do, lighting a cigarette in his hand, looking at the bright moon outside the window, no one knew what he was thinking.
Kamar-Taj's Mage Tower is said to have been built 1,200 years ago, so naturally, you don't expect it to be very comfortable to live in. It has antique furniture, and even the bed exudes the smell of time, but this damn place is also quite up-to-date with the times. There is Wi-Fi, a special computer room, and electric lights.
Smoking is not allowed in this place, but after Saber beat up four Mage Apprentices who came to stop him in a row, no one cared about him anymore. Ancient One is a reclusive person, and she doesn't care about these small fights at all. Modu, who is in charge of the daily management of the Mage Tower, knows how difficult it is to deal with Saber, so he simply turns a blind eye.
Anyway, it was just smoking. It wasn't a big problem.
Strange, the bookworm, should still be working hard in the meditation room. He was Saber's roommate. This guy's personality was not bad. He had probably gone through a lot of setbacks and had matured a lot. He did not cause any trouble for Saber. He took out his phone from under his pillow and started to play with his friends and family in Gotham.
But the moment Selena sent the three seductive photos, Saber's nose suddenly twitched. He quickly put down the phone and walked to the corner of the room. He opened the wooden box and pulled out the alloy knife. Then, he flashed out of the room.
He smelled blood.
A strong smell of blood … This was the first time he had encountered it in Kamar-Taj's Mage Tower. If it wasn't for those Mage Apprentices who were out of their minds planning to kill a pig for barbecue, then something must have happened.
On the other side, in Kamar-Taj's library, Wang clutched his chest and retreated in a panic among hundreds of thousands of books. Under his palm, there was a hideous wound. It was a wound that was pierced by an invisible sharp blade. It looked like he was attacked from behind.
Amidst the crazily spreading dark mist, terrifying roars sounded as if they were coming from right behind the king. There were also the cries of people on the brink of death. Coupled with the increasingly cold and sinister air, this place was just like a chaotic hell. Fresh blood and the stench of rotting flesh filled the air. There was also the sound of sticky breathing behind the king, as well as the rolling of liquid. It was utterly disgusting.
Wang, who had a fierce face and a serious but kind guy, was pale to the extreme at this time. He could feel that a dark force was gushing out of the wound, like a living blood-sucking bug, frantically absorbing his vitality.
Bang!
He knelt on the ground. His lips were already blue. He struggled to move his body forward, and a trail of blood spread on the ground. All his mana was used to stop the dark force from continuing to invade. A dozen meters in front of him, there was a well-maintained beast head staff. It was a magic artifact unique to Kamar-Taj. It was said that there was an ancient power entrenched in it that could resist all sinister curses.
But just as he was about to touch the staff, from the spreading darkness behind him, a foot stretched out and kicked Wang's waist fiercely. His round body flew out and slammed into the door of the library.
Puff!
Wang spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked back in despair and saw seven figures walking out of the gloomy darkness.
"Mage Casillas!"
Wang clutched his chest with difficulty. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Why?"
"Why? Hmm? Are you crazy? "
The figure standing at the front seemed to have heard a funny joke. "You don't know why? Wang … my poor junior brother, you really don't know why I did this? "
He walked to Wang's side from the darkness, reached out and took off his hood, revealing the typical European face in it. He had gray hair, hazy eyes, a hooked nose, and a shadow under his eyeshadow that could not be wiped away. In the flickering light of the library, he looked like the most old-school villain.
He reached out and stroked Wang's face, his tone was gentle and hoarse, just like the disciples of Ancient One who used to discuss the subtleties of magic.
"You see, you are already 170 years old … I am also 223 years old. Time and life have passed in our meaningless discussions in the past. Our mentor, the Great Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One once told us that dying on the path of truth is a glorious thing. I thought so too. I thought I could face the coming death calmly …"
A gentle smile appeared on his wrinkled face, but in the next moment, it turned into a crazy ferociousness. His fingers clasped tightly into Wang's wound, causing the guardian of the library to wail in pain.
"However, I suddenly discovered that … when I was facing death, I suddenly discovered that I was unable to calmly look at myself. Everything that I had, everything that I had invested in, everything that I had pursued, had disappeared just like that. Everything that I had sacrificed, everything that I had pursued, had disappeared just like that. I was unable to do that … King, my junior brother, you know that I am a coward.
Wizard Casillas stood up and waved his bloodied finger in the air. A female follower behind him respectfully placed a thick book in his hand. The old wizard picked it up and looked at it. He chuckled and shook the book in his hand at the king who was about to lose his breath. On the surface of the book was an amber emblem of chaos.
Mage Casillas' voice became more and more cheerful, like a child who was about to get a delicious candy.
"Look, the Book of Kalliostro. It's an extraterrestrial knowledge that studies time. It's said that the mystery of eternal life is hidden in it. Oh, don't look at me like that. I know that eternal life is just an illusion. Even someone as strong as Lord Ancient One will also fade away in time. But I also know … our knowledge, the things in our minds …"
He pointed to his forehead.
"It is priceless. It can be used to exchange for many things … As long as the value is high enough, I can always find a suitable buyer. Fortunately, I found one …"
He turned around, and the darkness behind him suddenly disappeared, revealing more than a dozen mutilated corpses, as if they were eaten by some kind of wild beast. He led his followers to the other side of the storage room, and waved his hand without looking back.
"Goodbye, King. My dear junior brother, I will get what I have been waiting for. You will also sacrifice yourself for the endless' truth '… This is an honor for both of us. This is simply the most beautiful ending."
"Ancient One … Ancient One will punish you!"
Wang shouted with difficulty. Casillas chose to laugh in the face of this substantial threat. "That will have to wait until she returns from the Nine Worlds … Do you really think that she can continue to seal this world? Hahahaha, you are too naive. Our great teacher … is already weak. "
"Hey, fatty. Seeing that you gave me an extra drumstick at noon, perhaps I should help you, right?"
A voice abruptly entered the library. Mage Casillas who was about to reach the layer of light curtain surging with dark light suddenly stopped. Wang also raised his head and looked behind him. There, Saber who was wearing a silver-white helmet and carrying a battle sword on his back was leaning against the door. With one hand on his waist, he stared at everything in the library.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look, look … What have you all done? These children are a little old-fashioned and annoying, but you don't have to treat them so miserably. Hey, guys, you all look like a group of ruthless characters, a group of big bad guys. Tell me, who are you?"
Saber's low voice that was suppressed by the voice changer sounded in this place shrouded in darkness. Casillas didn't feel the slightest bit of mana from Saber's body. He sneered.
"Pretending to be mysterious! Kill him! "
As soon as he gave the order, the 6 followers in black hoods charged towards Seiber with all kinds of weapons in their hands. Their fighting style was completely different from Mordu's. It was ruthless, efficient, and deadly. When they charged over, the 4 people in front vaguely formed a three-part attack pattern. Invisible blades were summoned by them with spells. Those blades were harder and sharper than normal steel and steel.
The last two people waved their hands. Crimson chains of light flew out from their hands and easily wrapped around Saber's limbs. They swung the chains in an attempt to fix Saber in place and create an opportunity for the four close combat mages to kill him in one blow.
They were definitely well-trained ambushers. It was no wonder that the veteran Mage King would be injured by such an attack.
However, to Saber, such an attack was a little too childish.
"Bang, bang!"
The heat in his body was awakened at this moment. Then, there were two crisp sounds. The chains that bound his limbs broke in an instant. Crimson spots of light were still scattered in the air. Saber's body disappeared from the spot with a speed that exceeded human limits. The stones on the ground shattered and a black shadow flashed into the poetry library.
The two mages at the front subconsciously stabbed the invisible sharp blades in their hands. Four invisible blades pierced Saber's body. In an instant, all his bones and muscles were pierced. Warm blood splattered everywhere, but it couldn't stop Saber's advance.
"Bang!"
It was as if they were hit by the fastest siege hammer. Their limp bodies flew out from the spot. Saber's two punches with all his strength shattered their sternum. From the deformed chest, their chances of survival were not that optimistic.
When the strength reached an extreme, the crazy superposition of destructive power could not be stopped by magic. And those who were familiar with Saber knew that once the massacre started, he would not stop easily before he killed everyone. Just like a big cat hunting for food, hunting was not for food most of the time.
At the moment when the two attackers were sent flying, Saber forcibly stopped his body. A red light flashed in his eyes under the mask. His left hand grabbed the hilt of the sword on his back. Using the accumulated momentum, he slashed down from the top with a 180 ° angle. The sharp silver light swept through the dark library. As the blade flashed, the shadow of a crimson flame flashed and disappeared. The invisible blades of the two mages in front of him made a sound like glass breaking.
In the face of the magic flame, the sharpest weapon in the modern world, their magic could not protect them. Their weapons, along with their bodies, were cut diagonally into four pieces and smashed on the floor that was already full of death.
In an instant, the pungent smell of blood, the cold smell of death, and the crazed laughter of the Grim Reaper occupied the floor of the library. Saber stood on the spot and moved his shoulders. The sharp blade in his hand was still stained with blood. The hellfire on the surface of the blade slowly licked the body of the blade, causing the temperature in the air to rise.
Seiber's eyes had completely turned dark red as he looked forward. Mage Casillas and his two remaining followers were still in shock. Behind Seiber, King, who had witnessed Seiber's full power for the first time, also widened his eyes in shock.
He had probably never seen such a horrifying massacre in his life. Even in the face of the mysterious mages, he was still … cutting melons and vegetables. Saber's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile. He exerted strength in his legs and rushed forward again. Along with the sound of the ground breaking, his cold voice sounded.
"To be honest, I've been in a bad mood recently. Staying here is just like staying in a cage. I really want to chop something to vent my anger. So, let's make a long story short. Who wants to die next?"
