Monster Hunting High School

Peel off the skin?

Just listening to this terrible word, Zheng Qing felt suffocated.

"——So, you skinned Senior Korma?"

The originally rough and sharp voice of Edge Type 1 became even sharper at this moment. Under the refraction of the surrounding altar walls and the dome above, it seemed a little distorted: "You killed her?!"

"Skin?"

The voice that echoed over the cave square repeated the word in surprise, and then corrected it very strictly: "No, no, it's not skinning... To be precise, it's peeling off the skin and flesh together, but only keeping her bones and internal organs... …”

Zheng Qing, who was hanging in the air, struggled violently.

He is not afraid of death.

He wasn't particularly afraid of being captured for experiments - if it was just like Thomas, who was very friendly and borrowed some flesh and blood, he could barely accept it.

But being stripped of flesh and blood?

Just thinking about that scene made him tremble with fear.

"...Well, you don't have to be so nervous."

The 'Witch' in the center of the altar glanced at him again, but did not speak. She still let the mechanical voice echoing in the sky comfort the frightened young wizard: "First of all, now that you are driving the Edge Type 1, you have no flesh and blood for me. Go peel it.”

There was a bit of regret in its voice!

Zheng Qing thought in panic.

At the same time, he stopped struggling.

It's not that he really listened to Professor Monteria, but just because he heard the words "borderline type 1", Zheng Qing realized later that he was not here in his true form - he had just been exposed to a series of messages The shock made him dizzy, and he almost forgot his identity today. When he came back to his senses, he was overjoyed and immediately started to execute the emergency escape procedure. However, after his thoughts ran wildly in the Edge-1 body, he finally He was shocked to find that the blood-colored vines outside, which looked like activated nerves, not only tightly bound the edge-shaped body, but also formed an extremely thin layer of light red light film on the surface of his body, which also absorbed his spiritual thoughts. Locked in this body.

Without any hesitation, Zheng Qing immediately began to visualize his rune gun in his consciousness.

This was a little trick taught to him by his husband in order to improve his ability to control the power of the rune gun and the forbidden spell when his rune gun was destroyed along with Sathoggua in the small world "a long time ago". This technique had not been used for a long time following his adventures in the Dreamland and the Dark Prison, as well as the rune gun losing control over and over again.

At this moment, as Zheng Qing's mind turned, the light blue box slowly appeared in his consciousness again.

Professor Monteria didn't seem to notice the boy's secret struggle.

The mechanical voice that echoed over the grotto still said those words of comfort without any sincerity: "...Secondly, for a wizard of the level of a great wizard, just peeling off a layer of flesh and blood will not be fatal. . Especially what I peeled off was only her 'relics' left in the outside world, not her true flesh and blood."

After a registered wizard advances to a great wizard, he will condense his true body - whether starting from an eyeball, a bone, a trace of flesh, or a tail, etc. - it is all based on the wizard's affection for a certain person. The concept of magic is deeply understood, taken into shape, and then condensed from scratch.

After becoming a great wizard, the true body is where the most fundamental and essence of the wizard is condensed.

On the contrary, the original body becomes less important.

Of course, at the beginning of the advancement, before the real body has taken shape, the original body is still their very necessary way of existence in this world. It's just that the true bodies of the great wizards are extremely large and it is extremely inconvenient to reveal them. Therefore, most of the time, they walk around the world using the original bodies that they shed before they advanced, while their true bodies are hidden by them. In their own little world.

This also means that the original body is the anchor between the great wizard and reality.

After losing this anchor point, they need to refine suitable prosthetic bodies as soon as possible to maintain their existence in the real world. If they stay away from the real world for a long time and just hide in their own small world to pursue the truth, as time goes by, the wizard will become very confused. It’s easy to get lost. Most wizards who have lost their way will eventually forget what they looked like when they were small, and slowly walk on the road to the stars along the direction of their true bodies becoming larger and larger. This is a result that wizards who follow the orthodox path cannot accept.

"...In the end, Miss Kolma is not dead. I am just a great wizard. It is very difficult to kill an existence of the same level in a short time." echoed over the altar. The mechanical sound seems very modest.

Zheng Qing felt a little funny.

difficulty?

Is it more difficult to kill someone in a short period of time, or is it more difficult to subdue a great wizard of the same level in a short period of time, then peel off her flesh and skin, and then get in and impersonate her?

"Where is Senior Sister Kolma?" The young wizard finally suppressed the panic in his heart, hoarsely, and spoke again, first confirming the whereabouts of the witch.

"I guess she is in her own little world, trying to get in touch with the outside world." The mechanical voice seemed very patient: "——With her status and reputation in the North District, this process will take about a month. "

One month's time.

This moment flashed through Zheng Qing's mind, which meant that Professor Monteria's goal was the 'Yuanshi' and he had no long-term plans to impersonate Colma's identity.

He didn't even bother to hide it.

"...Then how did you subdue Senior Colma in such a short period of time?"

Zheng Qing asked, ever since he guessed the time of the "Civet Cat Substitute Prince" drama, he still couldn't understand how Professor Monteria did it all by relying on the "Eclipse" to briefly divert the school's attention: "--She is also a great wizard! And she advanced earlier than you!"

"That's beyond doubt."

The voice echoing above the altar seemed to have a little more emotion, but then the topic changed: "She did advance a year earlier than me. But for a great wizard, a year is too short... When two people's "great wizard qualifications" are equal, "registered wizard qualifications" become very important. Unfortunately, Miss Korma has been a registered wizard for a short time... She is too young, lacking a lot of necessary magical knowledge accumulation, and lacks understanding of the malice of this world... Of course, more importantly, she also lacks the ability to resist legendary power."

Legendary power?

Are there other legends involved in this matter?

Who is it? The legend of the school, or the legend outside the school? Was it other wizards from the alliance, or dark wizards, or... those corrupted wizards?

Zheng Qing suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart, and tried his best to speed up his visualization.

The light blue box slowly opened a gap, revealing a silver-white phantom gun barrel.
