Chapter 235 So They Are Still Alive (5K5)
Raoul was indeed puzzled.
In his perception, Hevinia was in poor health.
It wasn't the kind of injury that was serious, but the degree of physical exhaustion. From every aspect, it didn't seem like someone of Hevinia's age. She looked like an old man who wouldn't live for more than a few days.
Raoul even felt that Hevinia's current physical condition might be worse than that of Ulysses, who had to sit in a chair most of the time.
But why is it like this?
Could this be Hevinia's (or Caesar's) original body? Her real age is not much different from the principal's, but she has been changing into the host's appearance through the music score, so that no one has discovered her true identity until now?
No, that's not possible.
This crazy idea did not last long and was quickly dispelled by Raoul.
Because if her body really was like that of the principal, it would not be able to support her in doing so many things.
You have to know that even someone as strong as Ulysses can't do much.
So, there is only one possibility.
"It seems that you have some secrets that we don't know." Raoul said slowly, "That secret gave you strength and allowed you to get here, but it also overdrawn your body at the same time, right?"
Hevinia said nothing, just looked at Raoul quietly.
Raoul slowly raised his staff and pointed it at Hevinia. At the same time, as if he had thought of something, his cloudy pupils narrowed slightly.
"Let me think, let me think... the powerful power brought by overdrawing vitality, I know... there is only one." He seemed to be talking to Hevinia, but also seemed to be muttering to himself, "Visas, yes, Visas... Only his body, only his corpse, can have such power, am I right?"
He didn't wait for Hevinia's response and came to his own conclusion.
"No wonder you've made it this far. If it were just a score, it would be impossible... You actually still have Visas' body parts! You actually still have his body parts! Damn it... There are actually people as lucky as you in this world!"
Raoul was excited at first, and then his eyes gradually burst into greed and excitement that was completely inconsistent with the calmness and wisdom he had always shown.
But this emotion only lasted for a very short moment, and he soon regained his composure.
"I see. Since you have used such a forbidden power, your death is indeed not a pity." The staff in Raoul's hand gradually emitted golden light, making him look solemn and holy. "Tonight, I will personally judge you in front of the great Lord..."
Before Raoul could finish his words, several black magic chains suddenly emerged from behind him and attacked his head.
"Oh, Rhine's spell?"
Raoul was not impatient. He seemed to have eyes on his back. He just turned half his body and gently waved the staff in his hand, producing a vibrating melody.
At that moment, the magic chain was turned into powder by the invisible sound waves.
"What a pity, it's too low-level." Raoul shook his head, "And Rhine's most powerful skill has never been magic, but divine magic..."
Before he could finish his words, Hevinia's magic sickle had already reached Raoul's face.
With a "clang" sound.
Raoul directly blocked with his staff.
This staff was also strengthened by magic, and its hardness was no less than Hevinia's.
"Not listening to the teacher is not the behavior of a good student." Raoul looked at Hevinia, who was already close to him, and his tone was still calm, like a good teacher who was teaching his students seriously, "It is very difficult to make up for the knowledge you have missed."
He looked down at the place where the two staffs intersected, and saw two different kinds of magical flames burning vigorously.
"As I said before, strengthening the staff through musical notes is indeed a very good way for you to fight, because you now have five or six golden notes." Raoul said, "You can easily strengthen a piece of wood that is about to break into a death scythe that can easily reap lives, especially when fighting against players who are not good at close combat. It seems that you have indeed studied it, but..."
Raoul exerted force suddenly, and the staff in his hand immediately burst out with a magical flame that was even more intense than Hevinia's.
Seven golden sounds were reflected in the burning flames!
"How can you possibly be better than me who has received the power of the Eternal Note?!"
He shouted loudly.
The magical flame on Hevinia's staff was immediately suppressed and devoured.
Hevinia, who had never lost in terms of the number and quality of spelling notes, was completely at a disadvantage at this moment.
She had to take several steps back and temporarily retreat to a safe area.
At the same time, with the help of her left eye's [Gaze], she saw streams of magical energy that ordinary people could not see.
These magical currents flowed out from the thousands of eternal notes and then gathered on Raoul's body.
This scene made Hevinia feel that she was not fighting against Raoul, but rather fighting against the entire Temple of Eternity and all the golden players of the Holy Sound throughout history.
"Hmm... you seem to have seen something." Raoul's voice sounded again. He noticed Hevinia's eyes and said thoughtfully, "So, your body part is an eye? No wonder you can move around the academy so freely. Our arrangements for you have no effect. You are always one step ahead of others... So, it's that eye. You see everything with that eye, right?"
Hevinia still didn't speak. She raised her staff once again. New magical flames gushed out of it, transforming the staff into a sickle again.
Then she rushed towards Raoul again.
"Oh? Are you going to attack in the same way?" Raoul smiled and raised his staff. "It seems that you are the kind of person who won't give up until you see the result."
The two strengthened staffs once again clashed with each other like cold weapons.
They were like two wild beasts fighting each other, and the scattered magic flames flew everywhere like flesh and blood.
But Hevinia was indeed the one who suffered more.
Every time they touched, her magic sickle would become dimmer.
After a few back and forths, it was like a candle that could go out at any time.
"Is that all you can do?" Raoul said. "You don't look like a man who has killed so many golden sounds."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hevinia slashed at his neck.
Raoul raised his staff to block again.
With this strike, he could extinguish the last bit of Hevinia's magical flame.
but……
Raoul heard the sound of breaking air mixed in with the music.
Wait, something's wrong with this attack!
Raoul realized something, but it was too late. The two staffs had already intersected at this moment.
With a "click" sound.
Raoul's staff was just like an ordinary wooden stick and was easily cut off by Hevinia's sickle.
The sickle's attack was not frustrated at all, and it continued forward, ready to split Raoul's head in two.
Unfortunately, at the moment before he succeeded, Raoul's body suddenly burst into an extremely sharp whistling sound, as if countless hands were scratching the glass.
[Five tones·Torrent]!
An invisible impact force radiated from Raoul to the surrounding area, directly knocking Hevinia away.
But Hevinia cancelled the staff's transformation while flying backwards and aimed it at Raoul's face.
【Pentatone · Magic Cube】!
Several magic rays began to converge and connect.
But before it could form a magic cube, it was distorted again by the invisible sound waves, and then transformed into countless white threads, attacking Hevinia in the opposite direction.
Hevinia had no choice but to erect the barrier immediately, but unfortunately the barrier still failed to take shape. The magic power used to condense the barrier once again transformed into wind blades, which, along with the white threads, cut and pierced her body.
"Bang"!
Everything happened in a flash. Hevinia was about to succeed in her sneak attack but was blown to the ground. She was also hit by two music spells in a row. Although they were not of a particularly high level, she was still covered in wounds.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have been dead by now.
Because those two low-level spells were also aimed at her vital parts.
But Hevinia stood up quickly and grabbed the staff again, and the wounds on her body were recovering rapidly.
"Sure enough." Raoul's voice sounded again, "That is not the power of the Holy Voice."
He first looked down at the staff that was split into two by Helvinia, and then looked up at the wound on Helvinia's body.
"You didn't defeat magic with magic power, but with pure strength... This power is definitely not possessed by Holy Sound. The players of Holy Sound will never seek such a rough and mindless way of fighting. Judging from the fact that you have strengthened your body and weapons... it seems like Lyra's method." Raoul narrowed his eyes and then said softly, "First it was Rhine, then Lyra, and then Visas' eyes, plus the music score and notes... Helvinia, you really surprised me. I really want to know how many secrets you have."
Hevinia took a deep breath, trying to adjust her state, while thinking about how to break the situation.
Now she has fully realized how powerful Raoul is.
Not only can he use spells as freely as a person who has collected all seven notes of music, but he can also tamper with her music spells at will.
Because among these thousands of eternal notes, it is difficult for her notes to be truly used independently.
Therefore, as long as Raoul was willing, Hevinia could not use any complete music spell in front of him, and it was all at no cost.
This is even more powerful than Bai Wei's middle finger.
This is why Hevinia chose to fight in that way before.
Only close combat and the use of power that does not require musical notes to drive can slightly compete with Raoul.
But it was only a little bit. After all, the powers other than the Holy Sound that Hevinia mastered were only the few that Bai Wei taught her. It was simply a pipe dream to want to defeat Raoul with these.
But she had to win.
And win immediately.
She looked up at the time.
There are less than three hours left until twelve o'clock. Three hours later, the first inner song will be played and the Lord of Holy Sound will awaken.
And she must get rid of Raoul at this time...even, not just Raoul.
There is no time to waste.
Right now her only trump card is the rules. Which of the three rules should she use?
[Terminate] doesn't make much sense, Raoul can use too many spells too quickly, and can rewrite her spells at any time.
[Watch] was too slow, and it was difficult for her to ensure that Raoul was always in her field of vision. Once she lost her field of vision, she had to start over again, which was not suitable for such a life-and-death battle. Especially since Raoul had already noticed her eyes, he must have been more cautious.
Then the only thing left is [Domination].
But [Domination] has always had a characteristic, that is, the stronger the magic power and soul of a person, the more difficult it is to control. And Raoul is at the top of both aspects at this time. Even if Hevinia forcibly uses [Domination] on him, it is difficult to achieve a decisive result in one blow.
So, what should we do?
"Mr. Visas, if it were you, what would you do?"
She asked this in her heart.
Then, she felt her fingers tremble slightly and point to a place.
Hevinia looked over and after a brief moment of stunned silence she understood something.
Raoul, who was not far away, was still watching quietly.
He was not deliberately letting the water go, on the contrary, he was being cautious.
Because Hevinia showed so many things, and the most important one, that is, the rules of the corpse parts, has not been revealed yet.
The more powerful a person is, the more he understands and respects Visas' power.
So he didn't want to take too many risks, because time was on his side, and his power was still growing stronger as the Lord of Holy Sound gradually awakened.
At some point, it will reach its peak.
At that time, no power could harm him unless Visas himself came.
So, Raoul could wait, but Hevinia couldn't.
In Raoul's opinion, it was probably because of excessive use of Visas' power that Hevinia's body had reached its limit, so she was trying so hard to get the Lord's wish, most likely to repair her body.
That's why she is so crazy and so unscrupulous.
Just want to survive.
He thought so.
And at this time, Hevinia moved.
She once again transformed into a sickle.
Raoul narrowed his eyes. "Again? That's really boring."
Helvinia said nothing, but took a stance.
Raoul also smiled and prepared for the situation. He waved his hand and the broken staff was immediately restored: "If you like it, then... hm?"
Before he could finish his words, Raoul saw Hevinia turn around and run straight behind him.
...Are you trying to escape?
But the door is over there.
Before he could react, he saw Hevinia raise her knife and slash it with a "click".
An eternal note that had been sleeping for who knows how many years was split into two.
Raoul's eyes widened.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
Hevinia ignored Raoul and swung the sickle again, cutting off dozens of eternal notes around her like she was cutting wheat.
Raoul's whole body was shaking when he saw this scene.
He was so angry and frightened that he couldn't bear to watch any longer. He shouted "Stop" and rushed over.
Although Hevinia's action will not affect Raoul's strength, the problem is... these eternal notes are the symbol of the holy sound that has been passed down for thousands of years. They are the greatest treasures and symbols.
This is the totem of Holy Sound!
If these things were destroyed in his hands... Raoul didn't even dare to think about it.
Not to mention how the two Taichu families will use this incident to target him afterwards, nor how he will become the undisputed sinner in the "History of Holy Sound".
Just talk about what’s in front of us.
The Lord is coming soon.
These are all the Lord’s collections!
"You bastard!" Raoul roared and raised his staff at Helvinia, "I will kill you!"
Hevinia stopped attacking and continued to shuttle through the eternal notes.
Her movements were so fast that Raoul had difficulty aiming and had no way of using those small but powerful music spells directly.
But once a powerful music spell is used, it will definitely affect other eternal notes.
Damn it! How can there be such a fighting style? !
Who did you learn this from?!
Seeing Hevinia running and continuing to chop the eternal notes like cutting wheat, Raoul realized that he could not wait any longer.
Stop her immediately!
Even if it affects a little, it is better than destroying everything!
Raoul gritted his teeth and played the notes.
"boom"!
After the huge explosion, Hevinia finally stopped and fell into the deep pit splashed by the explosion.
And around her, there were also piles of eternal notes that were affected.
At this moment, she felt like she was back in the morgue in her dream. She was like that at that time until Bai Wei pulled her up.
But now, the person standing in front of her was not Bai Wei, but the extremely furious Raoul.
"How dare you?" Raoul roared. "How dare you?! Do you know what you did?!"
He pointed his staff at Hevinia's nose, his body shaking with anger.
"You are such a cheap dog! You have destroyed the Lord's treasure! You are blaspheming, blaspheming!"
Hevinia said nothing, just looked at Raoul quietly.
The Eternal Note was severely damaged.
The melody that had been lingering for a thousand years paused briefly at this moment, and the only sound in the empty hall was Raoul's beast-like roar.
"Treasures..." She said softly, "Are you talking about these corpses?"
"Corpse?" Raoul was so angry that he almost laughed. "The only one who is going to become a corpse here is you, Helvinia... Oh no, no, no, you will not become a corpse, absolutely not."
He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
"I will also make you into an eternal note."
"Of course, as a sinner, I will make your body kneel forever in front of the Eternal Palace, in front of them."
"You will have to atone for your sins for eternity, and you will never be free from it!"
"The only thing you can do is just watch... forever!"
After hearing what Raoul said, Hevinia was not angry or scared, but smiled instead.
"Sure enough, they are still alive." She said in a very relaxed tone.
And this made Raoul feel uneasy: "What do you mean?"
"Since they are alive..." Hevinia closed her eyes gently, "Then..."
Before she could finish the second half of her sentence, blood suddenly gushed out of Hevinia's mouth, as if her body was trying to stop her from saying anything.
But she still opened her mouth.
"Tear him apart."
A whisper.
But there is no doubt about it.
In the deep pit, Raoul felt a darkness before his eyes.
He raised his head subconsciously, and then saw a scene that he would never forget.
Countless hands reached out to him.
Raoul had sensed the danger, but it was too late. He and Hevinia had already fallen into the pit.
He fell into a deep pit formed by countless "corpses".
The "corpses" reached out from all directions and grabbed Raoul's body.
No, that's not a corpse, that's... the eternal note.
The eternal note that had been sleeping for a thousand years came to life.
"No, no, no!"
Raoul wanted to escape and immediately urged the notes.
Just as the music started, there was another crisp snap of fingers.
Everything comes to an end.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
He let out a horrifying cry.
“Puff.”
With her eyes closed, Hevinia only felt warmth all over her body.
When I opened my eyes again.
Raoul was torn apart.
