Shadow of the Beautiful World

There is a saying in the wizarding world that no seasoned thief can compare to an unlocking spell.

The translated meaning is probably the wizard is the most powerful and only magic can deal with magic.

Although there is some ridicule in it, this sentence is obviously very reasonable. When encountering troubles blocking the way, it is more useful to seek professional help than to do it yourself.

Now that Merlin wanted to rescue a child from a guy who could jump freely through space, the best way was to find another helper who could jump regardless of space.

People with such abilities are rare, but fortunately, Merlin just happened to know one.

swish

Three seconds after hanging up the phone, with the flash of blue light, Gordon the Inhuman appeared in the basement where Merlin was.

He is still dressed in the same way for thousands of years, brown jacket, black shirt, khaki pants and a pair of clean shoes.

He walked out of the light with his hands behind his back. Although there was no expression on his eyeless face, Merlin could feel that this guy should be in a good mood. Probably because the cooperation between Afterlife and s.d.o.l.d. has been going well recently. In a few months, the two organizations have joined forces and have rescued more than 100 aliens.

This efficiency is much better than the previous afterlife organization fighting alone.

What do you want me for?

Gordon asked coldly.

Merlin knew that this cold tone represented Gordon's dissatisfaction with him, because Merlin turned his beloved adoptive mother into an ordinary woman who took care of her husband and raised her children without his permission.

Looking for your help.

Merlin didn't have too many pleasantries. He played with this delicate demon sculpture in his hand and said to Gordon:

A mutant who can travel through space at will like you has kidnapped an innocent little girl. I'm tracking it, but the guy's speed is too fast for me to catch up with it.

Merlin looked at Gordon:

What do you recommend?

suggestion?

Gordon snorted:

You could set a trap, but I suspect it might not be so stupid to step in. The only way to chase a space hopper is to go faster than it. Maybe I could try, but the question is, why should I help? What about you, Merlin?

Because we are friends?

Merlin deliberately said in an uncertain tone:

Because I helped you before? Because you are a person who knows how to repay you?

Gordon frowned suddenly, he knew that Merlin was trying to squeeze him with words, but he couldn't refute.

Okay, I'll help you.

Gordon said with some displeasure:

But you have to tell me where that guy is first? I can track its space jump point, but when I first contact, I must have enough time to 'remember' the energy frequency of its jump space.

how long it takes?

Merlin asked.

3-5 seconds.

Gordon said:

It is not so simple to identify the energy frequency of a specific space jump.

I will create opportunities for you!

Merlin stood up straight, moved his wrist, looked at the address information quickly refreshed on the parchment, and said to Gordon:

Follow me closely.

swish

The transfer spell was activated at the next moment, and according to the address information given in the dark book, Merlin came to a farm outside of Toronto from the basement on the streets of Detroit in an instant.

The moment he emerged from the twisted light, the red devil in front of him grabbed the screaming Lorna and jumped out of the hiding place again.

Before the bastard left, he turned his head to look at Merlin. There was an undisguised sarcasm on that devil-like ugly face, which was provoking Merlin.

Snapped

The Shadow Throwing Knife thrown by Merlin hit the wall of the farm with a slight miss.

Well, almost.

Gordon next to Merlin said:

Its speed is indeed very fast. You have to help me limit it, or just chase him like this. After about 2-3 times, I can remember the frequency of his breaking through the space.

You'd better hurry up.

Merlin picked up the parchment again and glanced at the updated address on it, which was on the coast of California.

This spanned more than half of the distance in North America, which was not a small burden for Merlin. The longer the distance to be crossed, the greater the magic power Merlin would consume and the pressure on his spirit. Computer side::/

He took a deep breath and cast the Transition Charm again.

Between the light changes, Merlin saw the red devil Asazor waiting for him leisurely by the coast.

The moment Merlin jumped out of the space, he raised his hand and threw the shadow throwing knife, trying to hit the red devil, but Asazo faced the attacking shadow throwing knife, the devil mutant sneered, and held Lorna's hand , once again jumped out of place amidst the flashing red light.

the bastard

It was playing with Merlin in this way.

Fu

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He rubbed his forehead to ease the tingling between his brows. The bad consequences of using the Displacement Curse many times in a short period of time were emerging.

continue!

Gordon appeared behind him, and the alien's tone was very serious. He said:

It will be resolved soon.

Let me breathe a sigh of relief.

Merlin said something, then picked up the parchment, and the address marked on it was updated to the hinterland of the Brazilian Plain in South America, which was a farther distance than this jump.

Can't you go after it yourself?

Merlin says:

Your jumping speed is comparable to it?

If it realizes that another space jumper is chasing it, then it will definitely break through the space more carefully, and the speed of analyzing the jump frequency will be slower.

Gordon explained:

During the blind pursuit, I might lose it. I don't have the weird thing in your hand that can predict where the red devil will land.

All right.

Merlin drew out his wand. The pressure brought by casting without a wand was too great, and he needed a wand to help him jump such a long distance.

swish

Merlin's figure disappeared again, this time when he appeared in a strange place, he was stabbed by a strange dagger head-on.

Merlin saw the viciousness and cunning shining on the Red Devil's face. Obviously, this guy realized that Merlin could track him, so he set a trap and tried to sneak attack him!

But isn't it better?

Merlin let the dagger stab into his chest without dodging or dodging. The light feeling of the blade entering his body made the red devil's face change drastically. It immediately tried to jump away from Merlin's body, but the rising black mist enveloped it at this moment .

swish

Asazo's figure quickly jumped out of the mist-wrapped range, and returned to the bound Lorna. It reached out and grabbed Lorna's arm, and was about to jump away again.

But behind it, Merlin stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly.

Snapped

Asazo's jumping movements became stiff at this moment.

Relying on the burst of mist just now, and the mist clinging to the Red Devil's wrists and legs, Merlin completed the preparations for puppetry. During the movement of his fingers, Asazo was forcibly held in place like a marionette.

swish

Three shadow throwing knives shot out from Merlin's hand, trying to pierce the Red Devil's body.

But the latter immediately sensed the problem, and the strong smell of sulfur burst out, and it knocked off the mist on its body with the gushing magic power.

puff

A shadow flying knife pierced its abdomen. The moment the sharp blade entered its body, the solid energy flying knife quickly spread into black mist, like a dancing chain, trying to restrain Asazo again.

But the speed of the Red Devil was even faster this time, even the entangled black mist couldn't keep up with its speed. As the red light jumped, Asazo and Lorna disappeared before Merlin's eyes.

Catch it!

Almost at the same time, Gordon's voice sounded, and a blue light shone behind Merlin.

This time, just a few seconds of fighting finally gave Gordon enough time to analyze the frequency of Asazo's jump, and he remembered that frequency.

On the remote and cold ice field of Antarctica, the figure of the red devil Azazzo appeared around a group of penguins. It stretched out its hand to cover the wound on its waist, and the power of the devil was beating, trying to heal the wound.

The little girl Lorna who was held by him was struggling. The coldness of Antarctica made the girl extremely uncomfortable.

Don't make trouble!

The Red Devil scolded in a harsh tone, and just as it raised its head, a clenched fist slammed on the head amidst the flashes of blue light.

Before the Red Devil could react, he was knocked to the ground by Gordon's head-on punch.

Gordon the Eyeless Man had no intention of fighting the Red Devil. After overthrowing this guy, he grabbed the bewildered little Lorna and returned to the hinterland of Brazil amidst the blue light.

Take her away.

The moment Gordon jumped back to Merlin, he threw the little Lorna in his arms to Merlin, and then the figure flashed and disappeared again, followed by a red light.

Merlin's reaction was also quick. The moment he caught Lorna, the Displacement Curse was activated, and he himself left the plain at the moment Asazo appeared.

ah!

The red devil who had snatched the child let out an irritable scream. Its figure quickly disappeared between the jumps of the red light, and followed the blue light and began to jump back and forth across the entire world.

The two space jumpers chased after each other. One second they fought in the Arctic Circle, and the next second they moved to the center of the Sahara Desert. Between several fights, they jumped to the distant Dongying crater.

In the wielding of their abilities, the entire world has no boundaries for them.

They can come and go as they please, and no one can catch them, and no one can stop them.

Snapped

Merlin, who carried Lorna back to his home, used an unlocking spell to release the special handcuffs on Lorna's wrists. The little girl who got her freedom opened her arms and jumped into Merlin's embrace.

She was terrified.

She clings to Merlin's chest, unwilling to let go like a koala.

Hey, listen to me.

Merlin stroked the girl's green hair, he took out the key to the mysterious house, and said to Lorna:

follow me.

Snapped

The key was inserted into the room, and the moment Merlin pushed open the door, little Lorna who was following him widened her eyes. What appeared in front of her was a huge and magnificent hall, no matter how you looked at it, it could not be Merlin's old room. Buildings as they should be in the house.

Master, welcome back.

Standing in the hall was the butler Xuan Lan, who was wearing a black and white tuxedo and with a golden monocle over her eyes. She snapped her fingers, and the dim mysterious room was lit up by the beating light.

Get the kid something to eat.

Merlin led Lorna into the mysterious room, and he closed the door behind him.

The moment the door closed, a red light shone in Merlin's living room, and the red devil Asazo saw Merlin's movement to close the door, and also saw the undisguised sarcasm on Merlin's face.

Run, run quickly.

The game is reversed, next, it's time for us to chase you!

Merlin made a sarcastic voice, causing the demon to scream, and it rushed towards the door in front of it.

boom

The door of the room was completely smashed, but what appeared in front of Asazzo was a small house full of girly atmosphere, pink curtains, sheets printed with black stars and moons, and dolls placed on the shelves .

This is not the place for Merlin and Lorna to go at all!

Damn it!

The Red Devil cursed. As a demon mutant, it also knows about magic and wonders. It knows that Merlin must have hidden the child in a plane of magic and wonders that is hard to find.

But there was not much time left for the Red Devil to hesitate. At the next moment, a blue light appeared behind it, and Gordon, holding a dagger in his hand, stabbed the weapon at the Red Devil's body silently.

Go away!

Azazzo roared and dodged the dagger stabbing, and the demonic aura around it summoned a group of little ghouls, trying to block Gordon's movements.

But the problem is, these little demons can't move in space, they can't stop Gordon.

The moment the Red Devil turned around and disappeared, Gordon also jumped into the endlessly shining blue light, and the space jumper surrounded by red light and blue light started a long, almost endless chase again.

In the depths of the Andes, a group of forest fairies were celebrating the spring festival, when a red light fell into their sacred pool, the fairies screamed and picked up their bows and arrows, and then saw a blue light follow As the red light appeared, the two human beings fought back and forth a few times, and then disappeared as strangely as they appeared.

Only a group of goblins with big eyes and small eyes were left looking around blankly.

Nick Fury, who was enjoying his hard-won vacation in a sand house on a certain beach, had just picked up a drink when he saw two people appearing on the beach under the dark night in front of him. It stayed for a second and then disappeared.

Fury rubbed his eyes, he wondered if he was hallucinating because of too much work pressure.

Maine, Port Grace, Arthur, who was fishing with Tom on the reef, yawned boredly. He doesn't really like fishing as a leisure entertainment. He likes fish and sea water.

boom

A loud bang sounded behind little Arthur, and the grown-up child turned around and was surprised to see an eyeless man being smashed against the wall of the lighthouse, and another devil-like guy trying to pierce him with a dagger heart.

Snapped

In desperation, Arthur grabbed the stone and threw it over.

The excellent bloodline from Atlantis gave Arthur a power that did not match his age. When the stone was shot, it was close to the speed of sound, and it hit the devil's dagger with precision, and the eyeless man took advantage of this opportunity , disappeared at the lighthouse in a flash.

In Gotham City, Batman had just knocked a madman who robbed a bank to the ground when he heard the sound of breaking wind from behind him. He rolled forward vigilantly, dodging the dagger that struck him from behind, and looked back. Go and see two men fighting in the bank's half-open vault.

The sudden appearance made Bruce a little dazed, but he subconsciously pulled out the bat knife, but the next moment, he saw a red light jumping up, and the devil-like guy seemed to be about to leave, but with a weird door opening With a sound, Bruce looked up, and saw a door open above the bank vault strangely.

Merlin, who jumped out of the door, swung his kick and kicked it precisely on the head of the Red Devil who was about to leave. He was holding the angry halberd in his hand. The strength given by this long-planned kick obviously surpassed that of the human body. acceptable limit.

Snapped

The small black horn on the Red Devil's head was kicked off, and he rolled and smashed into the wall of the bank vault in a state of embarrassment, and passed out on the spot.

Merlin, who completed the final lore, turned around, bound the red devil with black mist, and dragged it back to the mysterious room. The moment the door was closed, Merlin waved to Bruce:

I'll leave you at work, dear Batman. See you next time.
