Chapter 471: 79 So they are still alive (5K5)
Raul was indeed very puzzled.
In his perception, Herwenia's physical condition was very poor.
It wasn't the kind of poor from being seriously injured, but rather the degree of bodily depletion. From all aspects, it didn't seem like something someone Herwenia's age would exhibit, more like an old man who couldn't live for more days.
Raul even felt that the physical condition Herwenia was currently displaying might be worse than Ulysses, who, most of the time, could only nestle in a chair.
But why would it be like this?
Could this actually be Herwenia's (or should I say Cesar's?) original body? Is her true age not too different from the principal's, it's just that she's always been altering her host's appearance through the music score, until now no one has discovered her true identity?
No, that's impossible.
This crazy idea didn't last long before Raul quickly dismissed it.
Because if it really was like the principal's body, she wouldn't be able to support doing so many things.
One should know that as strong as Ulysses, he also can't do much anymore.
So, there's only one possibility.
"It seems like there are some secrets on you that we don't know." Raul slowly opened his mouth, "That secret gave you strength, allowing you to get here, but it's also overdrafting your body, right?"
Herwenia did not speak, she just quietly looked at Raul.
And Raul also slowly raised his magic wand aiming at Herwenia, at the same time, as if thinking of something, his cloudy pupils slightly narrowed.
"Let's think, let's think... The powerful force brought by the overdraft of life force, the only thing I know of... is just one." He seemed to be speaking to Herwenia, yet also muttering to himself, "Visas, yes, Visas... Only his body, only his corpse pieces, would have such power, am I right?"
He didn't wait for Herwenia's response, making his own conclusion.
"No wonder you could get here, if it were just a score, it would be impossible... you actually have Visas's corpse pieces! You actually have his corpse pieces! Damn... there are still people as lucky as you in this world!"
Raul was excited at first, but then the eyes gradually burst forth greed and excitement that completely contradicted the calm and wisdom he always exhibited.
But this emotion only lasted for a very brief moment, he quickly regained his composure.
"I see, since you're using such a taboo power, you indeed deserve to die without regret." The magic wand in Raul's hand gradually burst out with a golden glow, making him appear with a kind of solemn holiness, "Tonight, I will personally judge you, in the presence of the great Lord..."
Raul had not finished speaking when several black magic chains suddenly shot out behind him, rushing toward his head.
"Oh, Rhein's spell, is it?"
Raul was not flustered, it was as if he had eyes growing at the back of his head, he merely turned half his body, gently swinging the magic wand in his hand, emitting resonating notes.
In that instant, the magic chains turned to dust in the invisible sound waves.
"Too bad, it's too low-level." Raul shook his head, "And Rhein's greatest strength has always been divine arts, not spells..."
The words were still unfinished when Herwenia's magic scythe had already arrived at Raul's face.
With a "clang" sound.
Raul directly used his magic wand to block it.
The magic wand, also reinforced with magic power, was not less durable than Herwenia's.
"Not listening to when the teacher is giving a lecture is not the behavior of a good student." Raul, looking at Herwenia, who was already face-to-face with him, spoke with a still calm tone, just like a good teacher earnestly guiding a student, "Missed knowledge will be very hard to make up for."
He looked down at where the two magic wands collided, two kinds of magical flames were fiercely burning.
"As I said before, strengthening the magic wand through the notes is indeed a very good combat method for you, because you now have five or six golden notes." Raul said, "You can easily reinforce a stick about to break into a deadly scythe of death, especially when facing a player who is not good at close combat, you have an absolute advantage. It seems you really studied this, but..."
Raul suddenly exerted force, and the magic wand in his hand immediately burst out with magic flames more intense than Herwenia's.
The burning flames shockingly reflected seven golden notes!
"How could you possibly compare to someone like me who has accepted the power of eternal notes?!"
He shouted loudly.
The magic flames on Herwenia's wand were immediately suppressed and devoured.
Herwenia, who had never lost in terms of the number and quality of notes, fell completely at a disadvantage at this moment.
She had to retreat a few steps, temporarily retreating to a safe area.
Meanwhile, with the help of the [gaze] in her left eye, she saw streams of magic flows invisible to ordinary people.
These magic flows poured from the thousands of eternal notes, then gathered on Raul's body.
This scene made Herwenia feel like she wasn't fighting Raul, but like she was battling the entire Eternal Hall, all the Golden Sound Players in the history of the Holy Sound.
"Hm... you seem to have seen something." Raul's voice rang out again, he noticed Herwenia's gaze, then pondered and spoke, "So, your piece is an eye, is it? No wonder, as you can move freely within the academy, none of our setups can affect you, you're always a step ahead... So that's it, you saw everything with that eye, didn't you?"
