Chapter 57 The Spell
The viewing angle limit of human eyes is 150 degrees up and down and 230 degrees left and right.This is the result of evolution to accommodate information distributed laterally in real space.

But the eyes of that thing grow upright, does it imply that it originally lived in a space where information is distributed vertically?
But then again, what is the definition of horizontal and vertical?Vertical to the direction of gravity is "horizontal"?Could it be that in the world it is in, things are distributed parallel to gravity...

Colin couldn't imagine what kind of space environment made it evolve such a pair of eyes.

Like two longitudinal cracks, arranged up and down on the face plate.

He smiled blankly, and used his experience in the material world to speculate on them, knowing that this is a stupid approach.

The appearance of these "eyes" is nothing but a metaphor to visualize a certain quality.It lives in the virtual world, and it doesn't need this kind of optical receptor at all.

Fortunately, I can't see its whole face clearly at this time, because just looking at this pair of eyes, I can vaguely guess what kind of crazy and grotesque appearance it really is.

"With these, is it enough to guess what it is? Arecio."

Colin closed his eyes and said with difficulty that his spirit had reached its limit at this time.

……

As if completing the last piece of the puzzle, Arecio closed the "Devil's Hierarchy" in his hand.

"The feature of vertical eyes, the use of the Qingxing channel to enter reality, used for self-protection, the roar, the human form..."

It is not necessary to see the complete image, only this information is enough to infer the other party's category.

—— Shuttle Demon.

A kind of devil that has the ability to take the initiative to communicate vertically among the various layers of the world. Although it is still an existence at the bottom, it also has the strength equivalent to the wizard of Chixing Ertian, which is far from what they can fight against at present.

But luckily, it is not only a documented devil, but also a sinner who has been "tamed" in ancient times.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the monarchs of the demon-born Urju dynasty tried to conquer chaos with ancient magic.

They are born with magical organs, and their talents far exceed human beings.They live in reality and fiction at the same time, and finally make agreements with countless devils and demons who have been conquered in the past.

Those monsters were organized under the command of 36 regional masters, and became what later generations call "the 36 districts of hell".

In addition to obeying the command of the "Ring of Fallen", the criminals among them were forced to truthfully confess their names, abilities, and spells needed to command it, so as to ensure that no subject of the dynasty would be harmed by it. .

Although that dynasty has long since collapsed, the ancient structure of the 36 districts of hell is still in operation today.

And the words confessed by those devils and demons were all recorded in "Demon Hierarchy", which has become the most famous magic book in the world.

Although there are countless fake books imitating it, the ancient lighted library in Sincily obviously contains the authentic text of this book that was widely circulated during the Demon Dynasty.

At this time, the "shuttle demon" that Ke Lin was facing belonged to the No.30 second district of hell in the records of "Demon Hierarchy".

If you want to order it, you need to write the name of the monarch of the No.30 second district on seven dried laurel leaves: "Ikexion, the punishment of the fire wheel", and set it on fire.

Controlling the power of elves through ancient agreements is the prototype of so-called elf magic.In the past, it was said that ghosts and gods ruled the world with power, and wizards commanded ghosts and gods with mantras.

But now it was obviously too late to find seven laurel leaves, so he had to settle for the next best thing and choose the string of spells to stop it.

"Repeat what I'm going to say next, don't miss a single verse," Alessio said.

He clearly and quietly told Colin the beginning of the spell.It begins with an extremely short five syllables.

The original spell was not written in a human language.After restoring the original pronunciation, the human throat cannot fully pronounce it.After a long period of improvement, a version close to the original text was produced.

But its original meaning is completely lost because of this, and now it is just a small series of syllables of unknown meaning.

"..."

The effect appears instantly.

When Colin read out the first syllable combination, the figure began to distort and deform, like a broken reflection in boiling water.

An indefinite howl seemed to come from the depths of his soul, and the wizard's body began to convulse.

After confirming that it was effective, Aresio continued to tell Colin the rest of the spell.Every time you recite a verse, wait for Colin to repeat it before continuing to recite the next verse.

The string of syllables in the incantation also made Colin feel uncomfortable for no reason.

He found that the frequency of his consciousness was getting closer and closer to that shuttle demon, and the imaging that had stopped originally started to continue on its own.

Messy memories flowed everywhere, and even those memories that were affected by the seal and had no clear meaning began to appear.Colin, who was concentrating on chanting the mantra, could no longer control his associations.

The fragmented and messy limbs of the Shuttle Demon are speeding up and appearing little by little.Ke Lin suddenly realized that it was because the other party was deliberately establishing a connection with him.

The devil himself knows how to appear to humans, and he is deliberately guiding Colin's runaway associations to outline certain characteristics of himself.

"boom!"

Giovanni's last bullet was no longer blocked by the Shuttle Demon's roar.

The bullet pierced the wizard's head with precision.His body fell back neatly and fell heavily to the ground.

But Giovanni couldn't help but curse secretly.

He made a mistake, and the moment he pulled the trigger, he suddenly realized that he should shoot the heart at this time.

Because of the self-discipline of the heart, it will continue to beat for a period of time after brain death, and continue to supply blood to the whole body, so the cells in the corpse remain active for a little longer.

Consciousness dissipates instantly when dying, but the human ether will slow down the speed of death due to the survival of cells, so the shuttle demon may be able to stay in the material world for a few more minutes.

Giovanni did not choose to continue to reload the pistol, because even if he ran to shoot the wizard in the heart now, it seemed too slow.

He sprinted directly in the direction of the wizard, because the potential in the blood was stimulated by the trigger, and the power was so great that it even left half-broken footprints on the masonry ground.

In the blink of an eye, he had reached the entrance of the rooftop, bent slightly and picked up the corpse on the ground with only one hand.

He was going to directly throw the wizard's body into the sea of ​​flames downstairs, dissipate this piece of ether as quickly as possible, and return the shuttle magic flow to the imaginary world.

At this time, in the mental frequency of the Shuttle Demon, Colin saw that most of its body had already appeared.

It was indeed a human-like body, but the proportions of its limbs and torso were completely different.

A kind of slenderness that can't be called slender and human-like but inhuman, like the result of completely alienating the human body, so it looks weirder than other alien shapes.

Colin closed his eyes while reciting the spell, but it was in vain.

Because he is actually seeing with the eyes of his heart right now.Even though the field of vision was already dark, that weird and unbalanced image directly appeared in his mind.

It was just a little bit closer, and it would be forever associated with Colin.
