Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Pah---

Under Laura's gaze, her slender and beautiful arm made such a sound while twisting.

Because the arm began to crack from the elbow, the knuckles at the end also drooped unnaturally like a wilted flower.

But like Aleister, the girl didn't pay any attention to her arm at all.

From the moment it broke, the broken magic power and shining hair had already penetrated into the body, and merged with the white bones and flesh without any hindrance.

In just a moment, the horrifying injury was restored to its original state.

But even so, Aleister's arm, which was about to be broken by the hair that was tightening in circles, did not have any intention of relaxing.

"It's fine to show the possibility of women..." Laura, who thought she was finally going to see the light, had a dark face. "When you know that you can't save yourself, you still cling to your life. Why are people like you so petty!"

The girl's tone was very gloomy.

She was not flustered by Aleister's words.

It would be fine if there were unexpected helpers, but it was a one-on-one duel, and no matter how Aleister resisted, it was useless.

The orange flame held in her hand showed no sign of running out of steam.

The meteor-like tail flame was like a comet dragging smoke, advancing slowly but firmly in Aleister's tough body like a spear and a drill.

With the remaining strength, his heart was hit hard again, but Aleister, whose brain was not yet damaged, seemed to insist on maintaining a stalemate.

But from a realistic point of view, his efforts were meaningless.

The flaming sword road symbolized the twists and turns on the road to the goal, and even the essence of the demon god had to stop in it. Aleister, who had not yet refined his cultivation, naturally could not resist. Although he tried his best, he could only barely maintain the upper half of his body.

It won't be long before the existence called Aleister will fall completely.

But this matter cannot comfort Laura's heart.

Although everything about Aleister didn't go as planned, he still stubbornly challenged the demon Coronzon, exchanging a million failures for this one miracle.

Just to grab her hand at this moment when she was in danger.

This fact made Laura feel dignified.

The magician named Laura was so powerful because she was essentially Coronzon's GM account.

This beautiful female container in the surface world allowed Laura to go from a virtual server administrator to a cheater who surpassed all players.

But when she changed from an administrator who manipulated data in the background to a game character, she was also restricted by the game system.

The more she wanted to open permissions to increase the power of magic, the more her body was bound by the surface world.

This meant that in order to control the recoil and prevent the spirit and the flesh from losing balance, she would be like an ordinary magician at this moment, with flaws and no defense.

More importantly, her own domain had been unfolded. In this golden wave, Aleister, who was hit by the flaming sword, had absolutely no possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Both sides knew this from the beginning.

In this case, what chance would Aleister, who was destined to fail in winning, still want to exchange for at the cost of his life?

Victory and failure are both symbols of results. As a great demon in the same abyss as the particle of knowledge, there is nothing more frightening to Laura than the ‘unknown’.

“Don’t worry so much, Coronzon. Although I’m the one in charge, in my current state, I can only let you be a temporary travel companion at most,”

Aleister moved his eyes, staring at the distorted demon face on Laura’s hair, and said calmly.

“Travel companion… what do you mean?”

Laura frowned, calmly tightened the face on her hair, and asked in confusion.

“It means literally,”

Aleister looked relaxed, as if he had unloaded his life and the solemnity in his heart with the coming of death.

“If you travel, where do you want to go?”

This inexplicable question stunned Laura.

But before she could react, Aleister, the mastermind, had already started to act.

Three clear voices rang out.

As if emerging from the void, three fingernail-sized rubies rolled to the two people who were in a stalemate, forming an equilateral triangle with them as the center.

"Three drops of pigeon blood will summon a demon. She is a transcendent existence necessary to cross the abyss and gain transcendent knowledge."

Aleister chanted the heavy spell in a light voice.

"But my goal is only to cross the abyss, not to meet the pure angel himself, so I will provide my goal with the body of the trial, the energy to climb the great tree, the door to cross the coordinates, and - the tool to lead me"

"The angel on the tree of life... no, the great demon Coronzon!"

"...?!"

Laura was dumbfounded.

When she was doing her best, there should be no spell in this world that she could call a threat.

The title of the great demon is not false.

As the guardian of knowledge, she would never succumb to human magic.

Even for Aleister, who had repeatedly jumped on the path of the Demon God, the knowledge he possessed was just like this in her eyes.

This is exactly why Laura believes that she is superior to the demon god - even a powerful demon god like Othinus can be seriously hurt by the magic created by humans in the strategy.

But if the target is changed to her, except for the shock stick, which can magnify the Big Bang of the universe to ten times and overwhelm others with quantity, other magic will have little effect.

However, the spell used by Aleister at this moment made her powerless to resist.

The reason is simple.

"Aleister!"

Laura screamed at the top of her lungs, with such force that her skin was almost torn open and blood oozed out.

"How dare you use my magic against me!"

That's right.

The spell used by Aleister at this moment is exclusive to him and Laura.

In the past, the other party relied on this spell to cross the abyss and summoned the demon Coronzon, establishing a metaphysical spiritual connection with it.

Therefore, after taking the risk of almost having his body taken away, this connection also helped Aleister perfect this spell for both parties so that he could challenge the wisdom of the abyss again.

But even Laura didn't expect that Aleister would use it against her.

Did the other party plan it from the beginning?

Laura's fair face was uncertain, and there was finally a little panic in her sky-blue pupils.

This bastard has a curse that will lead him to failure no matter what he does. This is the legacy of him rejecting the position of the demon god and retaining his human identity.

Because she knew the power of this curse very well, Laura always laughed at Aleister, but she didn't expect that she would be fooled one day.

After all, even the concept of failure, when mixed with absolute, is not a good word to deal with.

Although he can't use the failure of failure to point to eternal success like Othinus, it is still within Aleister's ability to call for a specific miracle.

After realizing the existence of Coronzon, Aleister guessed that she had a spell like the Path of the Flame Sword, so he deliberately used the immortal body to wear out her patience.

Thus, he waited for this critical moment to catch Laura's back swing, and obtained the two final winning elements: the tool man who led the abyss and the energy that allowed the abyss to summon in reverse.

"This is not your territory, but I won't let you leave! - As you said, my fate is always linked to failure and defeat. In this case, let me use them together!"

"This is an exorcism ritual that is doomed to fail, Coronzon, you will be an almighty digital existence in the abyss again!"

As Aleister chanted like vomiting blood, the surrounding red light was strong.

The power that spanned the deep space began to operate, surpassing Laura and Aleister.

The soaked ruby ​​mixed with dust flew up, swallowing up the area bound by golden hair with a vast glimmer.

The flaming sword connecting Laura's hand and Aleister's heart also melted abruptly, like a stream of lava, spreading rapidly in the rhythmic sound of the atmosphere.

In a flash, the bodies of the two were like melted armor, covered with hideous and cracked scarlet burn marks.

The sparks burned and scattered, but did not go out in the wind, but merged into the light of the ruby, like a universe with stars hanging.

In the reverse spell that was doomed to fail, the invisible door burst open.

Suddenly, even the shadows behind the two could not escape this attraction, and were torn into pieces, like a black vortex, with light and darkness embellishing the shape of the door.

Even the shadows were like this, not to mention their bodies.

Starting from the end of the spine, the flesh of Aleister and Laura was like dough entering a noodle machine, stretched into long and thin strips.

Like the tail behind a scorpion.

"Don't think you can stump me like this!"

Laura said gritting her teeth.

"You once divided the magic system into three eras: Isis, Osiris and Horus, based on the beginning and end of Christianity. But my existence transcends all eras. Do you really think you can defeat me like this?"

"I am the only demon who has gained flesh and blood. Even Satan and angels cannot do this. This body is a cage I created myself, not a container taken from others."

"It is the most compatible with me. Even such a reverse summoning will only have a limited impact on me! The person who is pulled into the abyss first is definitely you. At that time, this technique will only collapse by itself!"

Lola is Lola, not a continuous magic phenomenon, but a strange existence that reaches the final result-a material body, just like the dust left after burning paper.

At the atomic level, they may be the same thing, but in concept, they must not be confused so easily.

The girl's strong anger caused the surrounding light to surge violently.

But Aleister's response was the same as always.

"Yeah, I know."

"That's good to know, you monkey who can only twist your waist... Hey, you know?"

"Of course, after all, this is a technique that requires my life as a coin machine to activate. Although I didn't know you would have such a trump card, it's always good to make a plan for the worst outcome in advance."

Aleister sneered.

Even Roland once used the word "cautionary to the point of being a little disgusting" to describe his style of doing things.

Things other than intelligence would be fine, but since Roland hinted at the action and was in his own territory, he had made full preparations from the beginning.

"As a former ally of Academy City, you should be very familiar with the information of this city, so you should have heard such rumors."

Aleister showed a pitiful smile and looked at Laura in front of him.

"It is said that the headquarters of Blue Dream Company is a proportional replica of a building without doors and windows. Moreover, these two buildings are skyscrapers on the surface, but they actually have other purposes."

"For example, it is a spaceship that has not yet started, or a cage that cannot be detected by any satellite."

"As the former chairman of Academy City, I can tell you responsibly... they are all true."

As Aleister's voice fell, something happened.

A low voice sounded, like a huge heart beating.

The whole building seemed to start vibrating. Even if you hit a drum taller than a person, the air would not be shaken to this extent.

Even Laura's hair wrapped around Aleister's wrist was scattered in the vibration.

But compared to her curly blonde hair clinging to the edge of the building like a vine, wriggling like a living carpet, this was nothing.

Boom——

With a shocking roar, the huge building that had been standing upright suddenly floated into the air.

There was no time to react.

Floating, leaving the ground, flying.

After turning around, the whole building turned into a big ship.

The water vapor used for cooling suddenly collided in all directions like a white wall that turned into cumulus clouds.

The step-by-step magnetic field machinery carried at the bottom ejected high-energy flames and flew straight to the other side of the twilight.

It completely ignored the problems of airtightness and radiation shielding, and it passed through the thick atmosphere in a straight line.

The high temperature of 3,000 degrees and the shocking strong wind poured in from the gaps in the building, but before it could touch the two people who were entangled, it was decomposed from matter into pure energy in the call of the abyss.

Although she would not take such gravity seriously at ordinary times, the state that she didn't even need defense at this moment made Laura more worried.

Because it means that she can't control her body either, and can only watch it all.

Simply flying into the universe is nothing to her. With the speed of the reverse spell, she can regain the initiative before flying out of the solar system.

But obviously, Aleister couldn't have failed to calculate this.

Sure enough, after flying over the moon like a meteor, the magnetic field machinery on the outer layer of the building began to collapse.

This is not because they can't resist the radiation of the universe, but a sign of exhaustion of power.

In return, a dark vortex appeared at the tip of the building.

"Is that... black hole power?"

Laura had heard about this trick that had forced Orelus into a desperate situation.

But at this moment, what frightened the girl more than the effect of this power itself was the meaning behind it.

The closer the speed is to the speed of light, the slower time flows.

In a super-high-speed journey with a predetermined orbit, the sudden insertion of a black hole may, in some cases, deviate from the original origin that was the benchmark.

- This does not refer to the deviation in coordinates, but the overlap in the time axis.

Although the probability of such a thing happening is usually as low as a miracle, it can be seen from the reverse spell that is still running that Aleister must be blessed by a miracle in this matter alone.

Aleister wants to exile himself to the new world that was suddenly created and attached to the outer layer of the world?

No... If it is just like this, it is enough to use the spaceship combined with the power of the black hole. Although it is very difficult to get out of that closed time sequence, there are not many restrictions on just sending it in.

In the case that he has been trapped, there is no need to let the abyss on the tree of life reversely summon.

Although the great tree is thinner than the demon god in thickness, it is much higher than them and even the world in level. Combined with the offset of the time axis, even the great demon cannot estimate the end of this journey.

What exactly is the other party thinking to exile himself here?

Laura's body trembled in panic.

"Aleister, what do you want to do?"

This is just a fierce question from the great demon to cover up his guilty conscience.

She did not intend to get an answer.

After all, Aleister didn't even want to die, so how could he reveal such information to the enemy?

But to her surprise, Aleister didn't hesitate at all on this issue.

"——To return to the Golden Throne."

As Aleister whispered, the surrounding deep space also seemed to have received some instructions and indeed changed.

The scarlet light from the abyss slowly faded.

What was revealed was the boundless temple.

At the highest point of the temple was a huge throne that was golden in color.

The beauty with chocolate-colored skin and bandages was half lying on the ground, leaning against the throne like a docile cat, so that the boy sitting on it could more easily touch her gorgeous silver hair.

As if noticing their arrival, the owner on the throne also blinked and waved in a friendly manner.

"..."

Laura was stunned and her expression was stiff.

"You, you... Roland?" (End of this chapter)
