Negi was breathing heavily, his eyes constantly flicking back and forth between the two people in front of him.
As he was used to having dinner at Neil's house on weekends, Negi left an hour after dinner tonight and walked home alone. He didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but he met two people when he was alone. An interception by a mysterious man.
Judging from their actions, they should be the instigators of the recent series of attacks on magicians.
"You two, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me and our local magicians will try their best to help you."
Negi feels that they are not bad people. At least, the magicians who were attacked before did not suffer much physical damage. They just had their magic power drained out and fell into a state of fatigue.
Presumably, they have their own secrets.
But the answers given by Xignom and Vita were silence and attack. Obviously, they had no intention of talking at all.
Negi gritted his teeth and flew at high speed with his wand.
"Can we just go up?"
Looking at the two men chasing behind him, Negi felt that it was really difficult to ask them to help him. In addition, there was a barrier around the area, so he could not send out a distress signal. It seemed that he had to defeat them to have a chance. Escape.
"Rath Tyr Mar Sgiel Magister! The battle song!"
The magic power flowed back into the body, and the magic power overflowing from the surface of the body beat slightly. Negi landed on the ground, exerted force on his feet, and lifted his body in all directions. He flashed behind Xignom, who had also just landed, and struck each other with palms and fists. Tuo, hitting Xignom in the back with an elbow.
"ah¡ª¡ª!!"
The ferocious hammer blow was accompanied by a loud shout. Negi's eyelids jumped, and the barrier in his hand was fully opened, but the huge force coming through the barrier still knocked him away.
"The wind spirit summons, comrades holding swords! Attack!!"
Negi flew away, summoning several wind elves to intercept the pursuing Vita. He took advantage of this gap to wipe the bloodshot eyes around his mouth, and saw Xignom flying from the side, pointing his fingers towards the void. Opening it, the wand was immediately in hand.
With one sword and one staff, different magic powers collide violently, refusing to give in to each other.
"Wind Flower¡ª¡ª"
Negi held the magic wand with one hand, and the powerful wind was spinning in the other hand. He held it tightly and threw the wind ball towards Xignom.
¡°Disarm!!¡±
The strong wind pushed the distance between the two of them. Without thinking, Negi once again stood on the wand and retreated. The next moment, there was a cracking sound from the ground.
Vita stood in front of Xignom with a giant hammer and spoke to her in a low voice.
¡¾Xignom, are you okay? ¡¿
"It's okay, it's just that the mask was taken off. ¡¿
"But this guy is quite powerful, although not as good as his younger brother. Xignom, wait a minute and I'll go first, and you'll see the opportunity. ¡¿
¡¾Understand, you must not be careless. ¡¿
¡¾Do not worry. ¡¿
As soon as the call ended, Vita had several steel balls in her hand. She threw them into the sky and swung the giant hammer. The propeller on the giant hammer suddenly spurted out scorching flames. The steel balls seemed to be burned by the high temperature and were smashed with all their strength. out.
"Feiyan soaring!!"
"Magic Archer¡¤Continuous Bullets¡¤99 Arrows of Wind!"
The emerald-green wind was like silk, turning into countless arrows that nimbly collided with Vita's magic bullets. A violent explosion disrupted everyone's vision. Negi did not retreat but advanced, chanting incantations urgently in his mouth. .
"Come on, the thunder of the void, pierce the sky, the ax of thunder!!"
White thunder suddenly fell, and a subtle groan came from the mist. Negi felt happy, the raid just now must have worked.
"I'm sorry, boy."
The sudden sound swept away the joy that had lasted for a long time in Negi's heart, and was replaced by a coldness that made his body stiff.
¡°Ahhhhh!!!¡±
As if being bound by something, the magic power in the body continues to flow away, and the tingling feeling of being withdrawn spreads all over the body.
Xignom looked at the pages of the Book of Darkness that were constantly being filled. He couldn't help but be amazed by Negi's magical power and quality. At the same time, his heart was filled with a sense of guilt.
His eyelids could no longer hold up and fell uncontrollably. Negi reluctantly turned his head, trying to see the person behind him clearly.
"It's a pity that I can only see a familiar pink color.
The door was opened with force, and there was a deafening sound in the quiet room.
The girls who were guarding the bed turned their heads together and saw Neil holding on to the door. There was a hint of uneasiness in his expression that was not seen at ordinary times.
"Neil"
Asuna turned sideways and made way for Neil to walk to the window.
Neil walked over expressionlessly. He looked at Negian sleeping on the bed, breathing evenly. Except for his face being a little pale, everything else was normal.
¡ª¡ªHe¡¯s fine.
In an instant, the big stone weighing on my heart collapsed, and what followed was another kind of urgency.
"Neil-chan, Neji is fine. He's just tired because his magic power has been drained. Don't worry."
Konoka put her hands on Neil's shoulders and comforted her softly.
"Did it happen last night?"
Neil¡¯s tone was very calm, making it difficult to understand his mood at this time.
But with the understanding of the girls, they can imagine how the boy is feeling at this time.
The calmer the surface, the more suffocating anger.
The three of them looked at each other, sighed slightly, stood up in an instant, looked at the young man on the bed, and said as calmly as possible, "The magicians who were out on patrol last night met the unconscious Teacher Negi on the road. From him, From the situation at that time, it seems that we encountered the group of people who stole the magic power. Because we saw that Mr. Negi was fine, we are only informing you now, sorry, Mr. Neal."
In response to Setsuna's apology, Neil shook his head. He gently folded his hands on Negi's hand on the side of the bed, holding it with slight force without causing pain.
"Is this what happened when Negi left my house last night?"
Although he clearly knew that nights were very dangerous recently, he carelessly let Negi leave alone.
What on earth is he thinking about?
Asuna's pupils shrank suddenly. She knew what Neil was thinking at the moment. Like Negi, he would take all the blame on himself. She grabbed Neil's arm and said in a higher voice unconsciously.
"Neal, don't think about it. This has nothing to do with you. No one would think of such a thing! If you insist on saying it was your fault, then the friends who were not with Negi at the time were also at fault. So, don't Blame yourself, okay?¡±
At the end of the sentence, Asuna patted Neil's head comfortingly, just like a sister.
"That's right, Neal-chan, if you think so, Neji will be unhappy, and so will we"
"Teacher Neal, please rest assured that with us here, nothing will happen to Teacher Negi."
Konoka and Setsuna spoke out one after another. Neil looked back at their sincere expressions and couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
"I see."
Turning around to look at Negi, who frowned slightly.
"Neji, don't let anything happen to you, otherwise"
Neil held Negi¡¯s somewhat cold palms with both hands and vaguely felt the pulse in his palms.
Seeing Neil like this, Asuna and the three of them stayed behind quietly without saying a word.
¡°Tell me your bank card password first.¡±
"Do you think he is dead!?"
? What was a heart-touching scene followed by such an unscrupulous statement? ?
Asuna was so angry that she took out a paper fan and slapped Neil hard on the head. Fortunately, she was so worried about this kid just now. She thought he was a heartless bastard.
Seeing this, Konoka and Setsuna could only laugh silently.
"Oh, Negi, isn't there nothing wrong with him~~~"
Neil touched the place where he was slapped and smiled, returning to his usual carefree appearance. The original sad atmosphere disappeared because of this, but they felt relieved in their hearts.
After all, this is the kind of Neil they are familiar with.
Negi on the bed seemed to have dreamed of something terrible, and his brows furrowed a little deeper.
Neil turned back and looked at Negi again, as if a mark was left on his violet retinas, he held the back of his head in his hands and walked out the door.
"If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first, and so will you. You have to go to class later."
"I got it, you little bastard."
¡°See you later Neil-chan~~¡±
But they didn¡¯t see that at the moment he turned around, Neil¡¯s expression suddenly changed. The smile that was originally on his face was gloomy, and murderous intent overflowed in his eyes.
¡¾It¡¯s them againAndles, help me contact Crono. ¡¿
¡¾clear. ¡¿
In an instant, she turned to look at the young man's leaving figure, frowning with some concern. At that moment, she felt a personal chill.
Xignom walked into Hayate's room, looked at the sleeping Hayate, with some anxiety on his eyebrows, and asked Shamar who was guarding the bedside.
Shamar gently covered Hayate, then stood up and motioned for Xignom to come outside to talk.
"I had an attack just now, but it calmed down quickly. It seems that the magic power collected from the young man named Negi last night was very effective."
After closing the door, Shamal said with a sigh of relief as if he was relieved.
"But such repeated attacks are not a solution. It will have a great impact on the master's body." Xignom did not relax at all. He was still tense and clenched his fingers. "There are not many pages left in the Book of Darkness. Just hurry up"
"Xignom!"
Shamal raised her voice slightly to stop Xignom. She held Xignom's hand worriedly, "You are already working very hard. If you keep tensing up like this, you will be exhausted sooner or later."
Feeling Shamaer¡¯s care, Xignom smiled from the bottom of her heart. She patted Shamaer on the shoulder to express that she was fine.
¡°Aren¡¯t Vita and Zafira back yet?¡±
Seeing Xignom¡¯s insistence, Shamael couldn¡¯t say anything. She looked around and found that the other two people had not returned yet.
"It's probably going to be soon"
"But Vita can't stand it. He just went out last night, and now he and Zafira are hunting monsters in another dimension."
"Well, I know, I'll let her stay well and don't go anywhere later."
At this time, a dazzling green light lit up in the hall. The two looked at each other and immediately walked towards the hall. When they saw Vita and Zafira coming out of the magic circle, Vita looked very embarrassed. His whole body was covered in dust, even his magic suit was in tatters, and his face was full of exhaustion.
"We're back."
When Zafira saw the two people who had just arrived, she greeted them angrily and sat aside to rest.
"Welcome back" Shamar walked to Vita's side and looked at her with some distress, "Vita, let me treat you first, and then go to rest."
"It's okay, I'll go after the treatment"
"Vita!"
Vita was stunned for a moment, looking at Xignom who was holding her down, and pursed her lips stubbornly, "I'm okay."
"Vita, go rest." Xignom walked up to her, looked directly at her heart-wrenching smile, and sighed silently, "Don't let the master worry."
""
Hearing this, Vita silently moved his gaze towards Hayate's room, and finally nodded.
Shamar used the power of the holy breeze to treat Vita's injuries. She seemed to suddenly remember something, turned to the other people and said, "By the way, we took action against that boy last night. If we deal with Ni at this time, If you meet Mr. Er, you may be in big trouble."
"Well, I have asked Zafira and Vita to set their sights on other worlds for the time being. They will first hunt Warcraft, distract the attention of the local magician, and try to avoid the possibility of conflict with him."
"But there are magisters from the Space-Time Administration in many dimensional worlds. It seems they are targeting us. We can only choose a more remote place."
Zafira, who was resting with her eyes closed, said loudly that now the situation has fallen into a serious situation, and I am afraid that the work ahead will be very difficult.
"But it can only be done."
"Tch, if you really meet that guy, you will definitely make him look good"
Although Vita¡¯s tone was still so tough, the others understood the compromise in his words.
"We are now far from our goal"
The ominous magic book floated in the palm of Xignom's hand, and the 666 pages began to turn quickly.
"It's not far away."
The remaining pages of the Book of Darkness are 180 pages.
