Shadow of the Beautiful World

After Strange became a contestant, he stayed in the mystery room to learn magic knowledge.

He was only allowed to leave the mystery room some time ago, so he is not very clear about the cooperation among the current contestants. In fact, there are quite a lot of exchanges between the current seven contestants.

Just like Dum's investigation.

With the exception of Strange, almost every contestant has been harassed by Doom.

His Majesty the King, who acted rather eccentrically, had his own set of logic and ideas. He didn't agree that the weak had the right to compete with him. Fortunately, the contestants selected by Merlin before had their own means.

Even Hermione, who looks inconspicuous, has a powerful hero like Artoria.

When Doom visited her estate in Yorkshire one day, Arturia proved Hermione's qualifications with a powerful light cannon.

He hasn't come to see you yet, but I guess he will soon.

Hermione and Strange sat opposite each other by a burning fireplace in their mountain estate outside Bucharest.

The witch stirred the coffee in her hand very gracefully, and the light of the fire shone on her face, giving off a unique halo.

She said to the silent wild mage:

It's not that I underestimate you, but Stephen, once Doom appears in front of you, relying on your current strength and combat experience, there is a great possibility that you will become the first person to be eliminated before the competition begins.

You need help, I think, my brother didn't just ask you to find Vatum's wand when he asked you to come to Europe, he most likely hinted at you looking for a helper.

Strange looked at the burning flames in front of him, and he was thinking.

In fact, he himself really didn't have much thought about the throne of the Supreme Mage.

His family knew his own affairs, he was incapable of competing with those powerful opponents, and even Merlin himself said that he did not expect Strange to win.

As long as he can survive to the end in the battle, it is enough to prove his potential.

But now, there is a competitor who will most likely be removed from the ranks of competitors before the game starts.

This is too outrageous.

And once it is really eliminated, it would be too shameful.

Is this kind of thing in line with the rules?

Strange looked at Hermione, and he asked:

Is there no 'player protection' mechanism?

Dom has harassed every contestant except you.

Hermione, with her head crossed, took a sip of her coffee and said softly:

But neither the elder brother nor the supreme mage came forward to stop it, which means that they think Doom's behavior is harmless...Of course, I know you are still hesitating about another thing. You must be curious about whether the 'alliance' is also the same thing. Conform to the rules.

I can tell you frankly that alliances are allowed.

The witch put down the coffee cup, stretched out her hand, and used her magic power to outline a Kama Taj three-eyed mystic rune in front of their eyes. She said:

Among the 7 contestants, Modu and Wang from Karma Taj are natural allies. They all represent Karma Taj in the battle. They are already in an alliance relationship, which means that other contestants can also form and They're similar systems.

But Dum is too powerful, Shazam is too... simple, and Wanda is too withdrawn. They don't need or want the trouble of forming an alliance.

Hermione gave a long sigh and said:

I also thought that I had to fight alone, but after hearing that you joined, I had the idea of ​​forming an alliance.

I have another question.

Strange leaned back on the chair, he was rather relaxed. Although his EQ might be a little low, but to become a top neurosurgeon, Strange's IQ is absolutely nothing to say.

He looked at Hermione, and he asked seriously:

Why do you think I can help you? The gap in strength between me and you is too great, and I myself feel like a drag.

Because of my brother.

Hermione was honest too.

She didn't tell those lies to comfort Strange, she said very bluntly:

If you are really a person with no potential and no hope, then my brother will not allow you to join the competition. Since he gave you the qualification to participate in the competition, it means that you must have the characteristics that attract him. Let him I think you are qualified.

Although I haven't seen what your characteristics are yet, I believe in my brother's observation ability, you will not be a fool.

Moreover.

Hermione rested her fingers on the mechanical sword at her waist, and she said:

The concept of being weak is relative. Compared to other people, I am also weak. My chances are slim, but I have already got this opportunity to lead to the Supreme. I am really unwilling not to give it a try.

If the weak want to win, they must unite and absorb every bit of power that can be used.

She looked at Strange, who lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.

The witch didn't bother the wild mage either, the whole hall was silent, only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning in the fireplace, and after a few minutes, Hermione reached out and picked up a document from the nearby table.

She handed the document to Strange, and she said:

In Romania, it is too difficult for you to find a hidden dark wizard by yourself. This is their home field. In the past hundreds of years, this place has been mixed with fish and dragons, and a unique system has been formed.

But fortunately, although the Romanian Ministry of Magic has been unable to clear up those shadows, they are still considered a big force in this place.

The information about the black wizard who stole the other half of Vatum's scepter is here. There are not many, but it is enough for you to recognize who your opponent is.

This, even if it is the first gift I give you, whether you are willing to accept my invitation or not, I am happy to see you become stronger.

The wild mage glanced at Hermione, then at the document she handed over.

He hesitated, then reached out and took it.

In the light of the burning fireplace, Strange opened the file. He looked at the information about the thief. This guy had formed a secret small group in the local area.

He was well aware of Hermione's purpose in giving him the document.

Obviously, relying on Strange alone, it is not impossible to get back the wand, but it will definitely take a lot of precious time. The more time he wastes here, the less time is left for him to continue growing.

As the battle for the Supreme Mage is about to begin, every day is very important to Strange.

Okay, I'm allied with you.

The wild mage finally made up his mind.

Just like what Hermione said, it has reached this point. Although the hope is slim, it is really not reconciled not to fight, and there is also a direct threat from the harasser Doom.

He does need help.

very good!

A smile finally appeared on Hermione's indifferent face. She stood up, picked up a cloak from the table, and threw it to Strange.

she says:

Then let's go.

Um?

The Wild Mage looked at Hermione in surprise. He looked at the cloak made of special material in his hand, and then at the dark night outside the window. He asked:

At this time? Where are you going?

Of course to help you get back your wand!

Hermione held the hilt of the mechanical longsword buckled on her belt, and she said to Strange:

Skathach has locked the hiding place of the dark wizard. You and I will go there together, as well as Arturia and Brynhilde. The 5 of us together are enough to get back the other half of Vatum's wand. gone.

etc!

Strange stood up, feeling that his mind was a little confused, he looked at Hermione with a strange expression, and said:

Skathach, Brunhilde...are these your heroic spirits?

Yes, heroic spirits have special class classifications, and different classes represent different ways of converting magic power.

Hermione explained to the wild mage indifferently:

With my current magic control ability, although I can guarantee to summon multiple heroic spirits at the same time, there can only be one heroic spirit in each class. If I am lucky enough to break through the shackles of mortals and enter a higher level, I may also be able to break through this Kind of a restriction.

Then you're going to tell me all this?

Strange put on a hood that could conceal his breath, he glanced at the raven pattern on the corner of the hood, and said:

Shouldn't this be your hole card, the secret of pressing the bottom of the box?

Allies must exchange information with each other.

The witch opened the door and got into the classic car driven by Artoria. She said to Strange beside her:

What's more, what I told you is not a trump card. Do you know how many heroic spirits I have?

Hermione smiled and said:

Heroic Spirit Legion, this is not a joke.

A few minutes later, when the car was driving towards the city, Artoria, who was in charge of driving, suddenly turned around and said to Hermione:

Hermione, there's news from Scathach. While monitoring the dark wizard, she discovered a strange thing.

Huh? What's the matter?

Hermione frowned.

Like Merlin, she doesn't like this kind of unplanned accident very much.

She saw Lord Merlin's younger sister, Laura, who was being chased by a group of people in the city, and she seemed to have been intercepted.

?

Hermione narrowed her eyes, she glanced at Strange beside her, and after a few seconds, she said:

Abandon the mission.

Let Scathach track Laura, report the location, and let's help!

———————————

Little wolf girl Laura runs in the dark city.

She swiftly avoided the street lights below, and within a few jumps, she rushed to a higher roof.

The black combat uniform on Little Wolf Girl's body was already stained with blood, but because the wound could heal, it only looked bad on the surface, but there was a hideous wound on the abdomen, but it couldn't heal no matter what.

It was as if there was some kind of special power preventing self-healing from taking effect.

Laura's face was also stained with blood. She was holding the demon sword Muramasa in her left hand, and a silver-white claw blade popped out of her right hand. She ran with her head sullen, without looking back.

There is no need to look.

There must be many pursuers behind her, and they are all mutants with self-healing factors like her.

After Matt's birthday party, this girl was sent to Europe to study and hunt with Wolverine Logan. Everything was normal.

But a few hours ago, insomniac Laura accidentally broke a terrible secret...

This brought her a fatal disaster.

The message for help was blocked, and any door leading to the mysterious house could not be opened. She was trapped to death in this gloomy city. Unless she escaped outside the city, the pursuit would never stop.

boom

While Little Wolf Girl was running as fast as a ninja, a muffled gunshot sounded in the night, and the sound of a large-caliber sniper rifle was like thunder.

The keen sense of the beast made the little wolf girl stop abruptly, her short body rolled forward, and narrowly dodged the bullet that hit her head, but the next moment, in front of her line of sight, a familiar figure also appeared. Climb up to the roof.

A look of desperation flashed in Laura's eyes.

She stopped her running away, holding the demon knife in her hand that burst into a red halo in the night with both hands.

There is no escape.

Only fight to the death.

Bang, bang, bang

The pursuers behind Laura also fell on the roof behind Laura, and a circle of encirclement had formed.

Amidst the strange sound of sharp blades breaking through their bodies, bone spurs of various shapes appeared on those guys' fists, which meant that their blood all came from the same source.

Laura, my daughter, why did you run away?

Before Laura's eyes, Logan, wearing the iconic Wolverine uniform, wears the yellow bat-like eye patch.

He walked forward very relaxedly, and in the movement of the six steel claws protruding from the flesh, he said in a hoarse voice:

The ancestor wolf is calling, don't you feel the awakened wildness in your blood? Come on, join us.

Laura grabbed the sharp blade, and when Logan was 5 meters away from her, the little wolf girl uttered a stern war cry, like a spinning knife wheel, slashing the sharp blade of the demon knife in her hand, as well as the claws on her arms and feet. , slashing at Logan frantically.

The latter did not dodge or dodge, allowing the sharp claws to pierce through the body, but punched out with staggered fists, knocking on Laura's finger holding the knife, cutting off the little wolf girl's five fingers.

While the blood was dispersing, the dark red demon knife hummed, spun a few times in the air, and stuck at Logan's feet.

boom

Wolverine, bloodied all over his body, raised his foot and kicked Laura away.

The latter stretched her body in the air, and landed firmly on the roof like a predatory she-wolf. When she raised her head, she saw Logan grabbing the demon knife in her hand and waving it in the air a few times.

He moved his neck, raised his fingers together, and brushed lightly on the blade. He looked at the little wolf girl, and said:

If you're ignorant, the next step is not just 'a little pain'. This knife can kill me, and it can kill you... You should be very clear.

Laura's reaction to this threat was simple.

She lowered her body, with her hands on her sides, her fingers that had healed themselves moving, and the steel claws on her hands and feet shone coldly under the moonlight.

She is a Riley child.

Brother never taught her to surrender...

Okay, I don't know how to flatter you!

Logan bared his teeth violently. Wolverine held the knife in both hands, just like a real warrior. He looked at Laura in front of him, and then at the shadowy pursuers around him.

He yelled:

Don't stand still! Let's go together!

Kill her!
