Chapter 545: The best state ever
In the endless darkness, Mike was hanging on a high cross with his head down.
Under him, a mysterious liquid like mercury was flowing silently, and the poisonous gas spreading from it filled the entire Dead Sea Prison, constantly depriving Mike of all the energy in his body.
But unlike before, Mike did not go crazy at this moment, but closed his eyes without saying a word, and even his breathing became very stable.
This is the way Mike found to kill time - meditation.
As long as he entered the state of meditation, the thunderous heartbeat and the fatal hallucination would stay away from him, but because this was in the Dead Sea Prison, Mike's mental strength was constantly being eroded, so Mike's meditation state did not last too long.
Therefore, Mike thought of another way - random thoughts.
This is also a good way to divert attention, but unlike meditation, the former requires him to concentrate, but the latter requires him to fully diverge his thoughts.
In this state, Mike also thought of many things.
Among these associations, a name always lingered in his mind, that is Dumbledore.
After all, the reason why he ended up like this was entirely due to the other party. Mike was not a saint. No matter how much kindness Dumbledore had shown him in the past, what remained in Mike's heart was only endless hatred for Dumbledore!
Mike began to imagine himself beating him up in various ways.
To put it bluntly, this was a self-comfort method called YY, which was a shameful thing, but very useful. Now Mike felt much better.
At the same time, in the process of YY, Mike also recalled many things about Dumbledore, including a letter Dumbledore had once given him, which only had one line of words written on it - the key to the legend lies in the heart and emotions. Mike
once studied this information for many years but found nothing. Now, driven by the hatred in his heart, Mike couldn't help but maliciously speculate that this was just a trick Dumbledore used to play with him!
Thinking of this, Mike's anger, which had been slightly calmed down, surged up again, and his heartbeat gradually became rapid.
At this moment, a huge noise of "creaking" suddenly came from the darkness in front of Mike.
Then, a dim yellow beam of light cut through the darkness and shone on Mike's face.
Mike stared at the source of the beam with red and swollen eyes. He thought that the only person who could enter the Dead Sea Prison at this time was Chris. As for the Masonic companions, they probably didn't have the ability.
But Mike's guess was wrong, because after Mike's eyes adjusted to the light, he saw a group of deformed and weird figures crawling on the ground, crawling towards him with slow and twisted movements.
As the figure crawled, the Dead Sea Prison was echoing with a crisp sound of metal hitting the ground and crackling electric sparks.
Slowly, the figure crawled into the Dead Sea Prison, but he didn't float over on the pure white stone platform like Chris did at the beginning. Instead, he burst out with blue cones of flames like the tail flames of jet planes from all parts of his body, and flew over with a roaring noise.
The other party seemed to be injured, and seemed to be unfamiliar with this way of flying, so he did not fly fast, and was crooked. Several times he almost fell into the Dead Sea below.
But in the end, he came to Mike.
It was not until then that Mike finally saw his true face.
It was a strange humanoid creature with a charred body.
The reason why it is called a humanoid creature instead of a human is that at this moment, he not only lost his entire left arm and right leg, but also had half of his head blown up. The most exaggerated thing is that what is exposed in his wound is not flesh and blood, but wires and circuit boards that are constantly flashing sparks.
This is obviously not a feature that a human can have.
"You are..."
Mike squinted his eyes and looked at the monster in front of him with suspicion.
Mike felt that he might have hallucinations again, because the monster in front of him looked familiar to him!
But the burning smell and high temperature that kept coming from the other party made Mike have to admit that the other party was indeed real.
You know, hallucinations are not so real!
At this moment, a blue light suddenly flashed in the remaining right eye of the strange figure. After shining it on Mike's face, he said:
"Mike... We are here to save you!"
"Victor!"
Mike exclaimed.
Although the voice just now had a distinct sense of stuttering and a strong electronic sound, Mike still recognized it. It was Victor's voice!
But then he became confused.
Under him was the legendary existence that no life could fly over. Even legendary wizards like Greengro were helpless against the Dead Sea when they were trapped, but Victor did it so easily!
Looking at the other party's head that was missing more than half and the electronic components inside, Mike had a bad guess.
"Victor, could it be that you have completely turned yourself into a robot?"
Mike asked uneasily.
After all, this is almost the only way. The poisonous gas of the Dead Sea only targets active forces, such as wizards and magical creatures themselves or the spells they release, but it has no effect on electricity and alchemical magic.
Mike remembered that he had told Victor that he should not take the last step towards human mechanization under any circumstances, and now it seemed that Victor finally did that in order to save himself.
Mike's eyes looking at Victor became complicated, but Victor ignored Mike's questions and gazes, and just stretched out his metal right hand that had turned into a diamond scissors, and began to try to cut the chains that bound Mike.
At the same time, he kept repeating the words he said at the beginning.
"Mike, we are here to save you."
He looked like he had lost consciousness and only remembered his mission goal.
This moved Mike even more.
Finally, with Victor's unremitting efforts, Mike was freed from his restraints, but due to the long-term erosion of the Dead Sea's poisonous gas, his body was now empty and he had no strength at all.
Victor held Mike up and slowly flew towards the bright exit.
Mike's body was very strong, which meant that he was also very heavy, which made Victor, who was originally too stable in flying, become strenuous.
Fortunately, the flight system developed by Victor not only relied on fuel propulsion, but also had some anti-gravity formations to provide power, and finally sent Mike to the stone platform at the exit.
"Mission... completed!"
Victor lay on the ground, his lips moved slightly, and the blue light in his eyes flashed a few times before he lost his movement.
Looking at the mess of Victor's wreckage, Mike's chest was also heaving violently.
A complex mixture of emotions such as touching, guilt, joy, hatred, etc. filled Mike's heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
At the same time, under the influence of this complex emotion, Mike felt as if a seed in his body was slowly breaking out of its shell and sprouting. As the seed grew, his total magic power, which had not increased for a long time, was also growing rapidly!
If Mike encountered this situation in the past, he would definitely be overjoyed.
But now Mike completely ignored it. He gritted his teeth and said to Victor's inhuman corpse:
"Victor, I will definitely make those scum pay the price!"
After that, Mike leaned over and carried Victor on his shoulders, and walked out of the Dead Sea prison that had been imprisoned for many years step by step!
...
In the gloomy corridor, Arthur and others continued to fight.
However, after escorting Victor to break through, their battle gradually became tragic.
Under the siege of countless Aurors, Arthur and Moody were still in good condition, but Franklin and Zhou Hong were not in good condition.
The reckless Franklin had his entire left arm shattered in a mistake.
In order to ensure his combat effectiveness, he decisively used the magic potion he carried with him to heal the bloody wound on his broken arm, but doing so also meant that he lost the opportunity to reattach his arm.
Zhou Hong had already started his transformation, but his strange appearance and huge size after the transformation made him the first choice for the Aurors to focus their fire. Although
he was not directly disabled like Franklin at this moment, the pair of strange butterfly-scale wings behind him were also covered with large and small holes, which made him look extremely embarrassed.
Arthur looked at his companions who were struggling to support him and the seemingly endless enemies beside him, and his heart was extremely anxious.
Their strength was almost exhausted, but the enemy's Aurors did not decrease at all, but increased a little. If they were besieged like this, they would be wiped out!
Gritting his teeth, Arthur looked in the direction where Victor left.
At the same time, he made a decision.
Immediately break out in the direction of the Dead Sea Prison!
You know, they came here this time to rescue Mike. Even if he died, he wanted to see Mike!
But just as Arthur raised his silver sword and prepared to break through, he saw a figure suddenly appear in the dim corridor in the distance, carrying something and walking slowly.
Arthur froze the moment he saw the figure.
The next moment, the figure's free left hand gently swung, and a sharp air explosion suddenly sounded in the air!
Countless transparent blades accurately bypassed Arthur and others, whizzed into the group of Aurors, and cut everything that blocked them into pieces!
For a moment, blood and flesh splattered! Those Aurors who were chopped into several pieces but not dead yet lay in a pool of blood and kept wailing. Some even tried to pick up the limbs that fell from someone beside them and spliced them on their own bodies, but it was all in vain.
Franklin and others were also splashed by the plasma sprayed nearby, but at this moment they had no intention of wiping it off, just staring blankly at the hell on earth that suddenly appeared in front of them.
Until this moment, a cold voice echoed from behind them.
"God of strikes without shadows!"
Franklin and Zhou Hong turned their heads in surprise, and saw Mike, wearing a tattered combat uniform, walking slowly with the broken Victor on his shoulder.
"Mike!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and Mike's cold face finally showed a smile.
But before this smile could fully bloom, it disappeared again.
Because Mike saw Franklin's empty left arm and Zhou Hong's broken wings.
The muscles on Mike's face twisted, and the horrible expression made the smiles on Franklin and others' faces stagnate.
But in the end, Mike calmed down. He stared with a pair of bloodshot eyes, patted Arthur and Franklin's shoulders expressionlessly and said:
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard! It's not hard! Hehehe! As long as you can get out safely, it's not a big deal!"
Franklin smiled innocently, and the muscles at the broken end of his left arm were still wriggling while he spoke, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
But Mike didn't care at all. He even reached out his hand to touch the healed wound. He gritted his teeth and said to Franklin:
"Don't worry, I will make you recover!"
"It's okay. My injury is nothing compared to Victor's." Franklin looked at Victor on Mike's shoulder and said sadly, "He... has he already..."
Mike didn't say anything, but just nodded gently.
Seeing this, the people who were originally in joy became silent. Everyone lowered their heads slightly, as if they were mourning for Victor, even Moody was no exception.
After a while, Moody raised his head first and said to Mike seriously:
"It's enough to show your appreciation. The most urgent thing now is to send Mike out. You all follow me later, I will help you bypass the hall and leave the Ministry of Magic!" After
these words came out, everyone woke up and was extremely nervous to escort Mike out.
But Mike, who was the target of the escort, sneered and said:
"Run? Why should we run?"
Arthur's body froze, and he looked up at Mike in disbelief.
Franklin on the side seemed to suddenly remember something and advised:
"Mike, let's retreat first. I don't know what kind of medicine Chris took, but now he is a legendary wizard. We can't beat him. Besides...besides, even if we have to fight, we should fight in the best condition, right? Your current condition is useless!"
"Who said I'm not in good condition?"
Feeling the magic realm in his body that was still rapidly improving and the magic power and mental strength that were constantly recovering, the sneer on Mike's face gradually became more and more unbridled.
He had a hunch that he might be about to break through the legendary realm!
He slowly leaned over and picked up a wand soaked in blood plasma from the ground, then looked around and said:
"My current condition is better than ever!"
