Chapter 425: The Violent Mist Tengu
If you find that the witch is a big problem after you go there, then let the ghost hide in the seal. Jiang Xia will then disperse the puppets, return to his real body, and slip away with one click.
If the problem is not serious, then take away the witch's magic in a friendly manner and arrange a time to meet next time...
Of course, if the first situation unfortunately occurs, it means that you have to return in seconds, and then you may not have time to pick up the energy core.
So Jiang Xia didn't go to find Koizumi Hongzi immediately, but first took the magic power that was delivered to him along the black line one by one - these were energy cores that he could definitely get. When the boss's situation was unclear, he had to at least get a guarantee first.
...And just like that, several waves of sharp magical attacks came.
After that, after waiting for a while, a magical power several times stronger than before surged along the ethereal black line.
The magic this time is obviously different from before. It is no longer so sharp and aggressive, but gives people a lingering sense of gentleness.
They flowed along the ethereal black line to Jiang Xia's wrist, then spread out and gradually wrapped around his entire body, trying to lift him up, make him float, and drag him away.
…It was supposed to be like this.
But in fact, the demons came over expectantly just as the magic power spread over his forearm...
And then nothing happened.
Before the last bit of energy was devoured, Jiang Xia tried hard to stop the ghosts and felt it carefully.
Then he discovered that the remaining energy, which was only enough to wrap around his forearm, seemed to be struggling to pull him in a certain direction.
However, since the large army of magic power that had rushed over before had been destroyed, the little that was left was not enough to pull the Mist Tengu puppet driven by Jiang Xia, and was only enough to barely lift his hand.
Next to him, Kidd, who was unable to help, noticed this change and tightened his magic gun in his hand alertly: "What's wrong?"
Mist Tengu stared at the sky with burning eyes: "The person on the other side wants me to pass."
"...The person opposite?" Kidd followed his gaze and saw only the dark night before him.
Before I could take a closer look, a strong wind suddenly blew up nearby.
Kidd held down his top hat that was about to be blown away, turned his head in surprise, and found that Mist Tengu had already flown into the sky. The monster's dark clothes and wings were not conspicuous at night, and it blended into the night in a flash.
Jiang Xia felt the direction of the remaining magic power and did not stop. He planned to fly to where Koizumi Hongzi was.
Although if he waited a little longer, Koizumi Hongzi might infuse more energy into him if she found that she couldn't pull anyone. But at the same time, Jiang Xia was also worried that she would find something wrong from the consumption of magic power, so he withdrew cautiously.
Anyway, now that the guaranteed energy core has been obtained, why not go meet the witch and try to squeeze out her remaining magic power - repairing the puppet requires murderous energy, and just now Koizumi Hongzi tore the puppet apart, causing Jiang Xia to waste a lot of murderous energy. It shouldn't be too much for him to take some magic power as compensation...
Just as we took off, we could faintly hear an anxious “Wait!” from below.
Jiang Xia looked down and saw Kidd, who was dressed in white and very conspicuous at night.
Kidd no longer has any energy cores...
This thought flashed through his mind, and the next second, Jiang Xia decisively pretended not to hear it and continued to concentrate on flying to where Koizumi Hongzi was.
…
Kidd looked up at the sky, unable to determine whether Mist Tengu flew away on his own initiative to settle accounts with the magician, or was passively dragged away by the unscrupulous magician.
He originally wanted to chase after him to help, but he was currently standing on a flat street and the glider on his back was of no use at all.
In the end, Kidd only had time to take out his magic gun and shoot a locator at Mist Tengu before he flew away.
He then ran out of the alley, planning to get a car to give chase.
Before he could attack any innocent vehicles, another car came speeding and screeched to a halt next to him.
In the car, Kidd's elderly assistant rolled down the window.
Terai Huang Zhisuke glanced outside and saw Kidd's brows were furrowed, and there was a wing mark on his face for some reason. His heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Master, what happened?"
...Could it be that after being robbed several times, the young master finally couldn't bear it anymore and tried to escape from the clutches of Mist Tengu, but ended up being beaten up instead?
Alas, I have already told you that he can neither outfly nor outrun Mist Tengu. After all, he has natural wings that are flexible and swift, unlike artificial hang gliders...
Kidd didn't notice Terai's hesitation.
He closed the car door and called up the rapidly moving red dot: "Catch up with him!"
Then he threw the positioning device to Terai, and went to the back seat and started rummaging through the prop boxes in the car to see which one might be effective against the magician.
Terai saw Kidd's actions in the rearview mirror, and then remembered the marks on his face from being hit by the wings, and whispered: "Master, forget it, we don't have weapons that can reach that distance, and that monster is very agile in the sky..."
"?" Kidd felt that Terai had strayed from his thoughts, but he didn't have time to explain to the old man at this moment. "Grandpa Terai, you told me about magic before, and you seemed to know a lot about it... Is there any way to deal with magicians?"
Terai drove around a sharp corner, chasing the signal point, and asked in confusion: "Magicians? Have you met them?"
"Yes." Kidd nodded solemnly, "Just now, I was attacked by an unknown curse, and then..."
He recalled the action of Mist Tengu grabbing something in the air just now, and said uncertainly: "Then Mist Tengu seemed to have transferred the curse to himself in some way, and now he is approaching the magician."
Terai was startled, remembering the scattered bloodstains on Kidd's white suit.
At first, he thought it was caused by the beating of Mist Tengu. But now it seems that the magician has targeted it...
He hesitated and said, "Although magicians hate magic, they won't suddenly attack you... Master, have you made enemies with anyone recently?"
"..." Kidd fell into deep thought.
Speaking of enemies...all those who have been stolen from by him should be considered enemies.
However, speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the beautiful transfer student in his class - Koizumi Akako.
This afternoon, she was able to pin a person to the wall from a distance, which seemed to have gone beyond the realm of magic...
But Kid thought again, at that time he just said to Koizumi Hongzi "I don't want your chocolate", so he wouldn't be cursed for it...
Kidd temporarily ruled out Koizumi Hongzi: "Could it be that those bosses hired magicians as bodyguards?"
"No." Terai shook his head. "The magic families that have survived until now would not have fallen to the point of being bodyguards or revenge agents for others..."
