At the same time as she sensed further abnormalities in the flow of magic power, Maka directly and roughly broke the trap spell arranged in the corridor and flew towards the depths of the corridor.

When he quickly reached the deepest part of the corridor, he immediately saw the stone door at the end. The magic in the air was constantly flowing into that door.

Just as he was getting closer and closer to the door, the sound coming from the door made him speed up again.

"...Hmph hum...hahaha...I understand! I finally understand how to create the most powerful Obscurial! Grindelwald! Facts have proved that I am not an 'ordinary wizard that can be seen everywhere'

! Even without your help, I will still become a successful wizard! Hahahaha..."

Listening to the faint words coming from the door, the old wizard was obviously close to madness. Even though all the spells outside were forcibly broken, he did not distract him from his chanting.

"boom!"

As Maka approached the stone door, he raised the staff in his hand decisively, blowing it into pieces. Then, he rushed in without hesitation just like before.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw an old wizard with bloodshot eyes looking at him fiercely. And right in front of the old wizard, a shirtless young man was kneeling there with his back straight.

, the half-long brown hair is windless and automatic.

The magic power floating in the air seemed to be drawn by some inexplicable force, constantly rushing into the young man's body.

And on the ground next to the boy, there were several boys and girls of similar age lying staggered on the ground, seemingly no longer breathing.

"...Who are you?" asked the old wizard Lenny.

But Maka ignored him, and instead focused on the young man - he could feel that the natural magic power that could not be directly used by the wizard was now being sucked into his body all the time.

And transformed into the strange energy of the Obscurial One.

Maka knew that this was indeed one of the abilities of the Obscurans, and it was also the reason why they were stronger than ordinary wizards. But this kind of high-sustained, high-efficiency absorption and transformation seemed a bit incredible.

"Who are you! Answer me——"

Seeing that his question was ignored by Maka, Old Lenny was immediately filled with resentment. He hated this feeling of being ignored, especially after being abandoned by Greenwald, this unhappiness seemed to make him even more crazy.

"Answer me!" he roared in his old, hoarse voice, "Avada Kedavra!"

A dazzling green beam shot out from the tip of his wand, twisted slightly in the air, and struck towards Maka like a green lightning bolt.

But Maka didn't even look at it. She just waved her staff casually and guided the life-killing curse aside with the guidance of magic power. The green light passed him by, seemingly thrilling but it hit him neatly.

On the stone wall behind him.

"Originally, I thought you were just an incompetent researcher who went astray," Maka said casually as she walked towards the young man, "but at least you have worked tirelessly."

"...but I have to admit that I was wrong."

As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and looked at old Lennie, his eyes full of contempt and indifference.

"Unexpectedly, you didn't go the wrong way at all, but you just used escape to deceive yourself. You may be able to deceive yourself, but can you also deceive others?"

"What do you know!" Old Lennie pointed at Maka angrily, holding the wand tightly with his wrinkled fingers, the tip of the wand trembling violently, "Who are you? Who are you!"

"In order to avoid me, you gave up the monastery and moved here. Now I'm standing in front of you, but you don't know who I am?" Maka looked him up and down and said, "For these boring studies, for yourself

Have you lied to yourself to the point where you are losing your mind?"

After saying that, he shook his head and returned his gaze to the young man kneeling on the ground.

The old man's words were ridiculous, because although the energy in the young man's body was constantly solidifying, it gradually became stagnant.

It is said that he is powerful, indeed, if it breaks out, it will be really amazing - but it must be able to be exerted. However, the alienated magic power condensed to such intensity has long been beyond the control of humans.

Not to mention controlling this energy for normal use, even if it is allowed to run wild on its own, it will only turn into a mass of ownerless energy after killing the host.

But the old wizard Lenny seemed to have heard some huge insult, and he waved his arms violently, showing his madness.

"You said this was 'boring research'?" he hissed loudly, "Do you know what kind of research I am doing? And you said I was 'avoiding' you? If it weren't for Greenwald's order, you would be like this

Little kid, I don’t even care at all!"

Greenwald's denial almost made his decades of hard struggle meaningless; and Maca's contempt ruthlessly smashed his dignity as a wizard scholar.

Most of the space in Lenny's heart has been occupied by anger. Just as Maka said, his mind has become abnormal.

It was clear that the life-killing curse just now was easily broken by Maka, but he was unaware of certain situations that could not be ignored.

"...Do you understand what you are talking about?" Lennie said loudly, "How can a boy of your age understand my great research!"

"It's nothing more than using some extreme means to stimulate his fragile spirit..." Maka said disapprovingly, "Someone did this as early as the dark ages a few centuries ago."

Seeing the shocked look on the old man's face, he couldn't help but shook his head again.

"Don't you know this?" Maka seemed to be a little uninterested, "There are records about the Obscurus in the literature. Although it is not stated explicitly, it is not difficult to understand with a little speculation. And the method used

, it’s nothing more than Legilimency or the Imperius Curse, right?”

He kept saying words that implied a squeeze, turning his speculations into fuel to anger the other party, trying to make the old man completely lose his mind in anger and frustration.

After all, this guy is Grindelwald's old subordinate, and he must know a lot of information. But if Legilimency or Veritaserum is used, Grindelwald may not have no backup plan.

If you want to get the information you want out of his mouth smoothly, it's best to let him say it himself.

Having said this, Maka suddenly turned around and strode towards Lenny.

"You're going to-"

When the old wizard saw him suddenly taking action, he immediately waved his wand. However, he had been immersed in research for many years and was already unfamiliar with wizard duels. Before his spell could be formed, Maka swung a magic rope and strangled his neck.

.

"As for the specific spell used, all you need is-" Maka pointed the staff at the tip of the wand in the old wizard's hand and cast a less commonly used spell.

"Pre-Flashback Curse."

When Maka recited that incantation, a stream of magic energy swirled out of the head of his wand, turning into strands of invisible threads and connecting with Lenny's wand.

Immediately afterwards, a piece of gray smoke spurted out from between the two staffs and spread quietly.

A slightly blurry picture soon appeared in the smoke:

A young child was being bullied by a group of other children. Countless shoe soles stepped hard on him, leaving a large number of footprints on his old clothes that did not fit well.

But after the bullied child returned home, he was scolded by his parents who did not allow him to talk back.

Obviously, this was the shadow of the childhood of the boy kneeling on the ground. For him, perhaps the most terrifying thing in the world was the bullying of his peers and the injustice of his parents and relatives.

"Well, is it really the Legilimency spell?" Maka nodded immediately as she looked at the scene that was repeated over and over again.

When you cast Legilimency on another person to forcefully read a certain memory of the other person, that memory will also be replayed in the mind of the person being cast. If you read that memory repeatedly, you can make the other person

Also perform compulsory recall over and over again.

This method of letting people experience the most painful past time and time again will indeed fill the hearts of some people with fragile hearts with despair.

The so-called Obscurials are originally a group of children who have magical potential but have no guidance and are depressed. It is not difficult to imagine that this method can cause them to go berserk.

But what exactly caused the old wizard who originally wanted to control the power of the Obscurial to suddenly want to detonate these "bombs"... This is a question.

"It's better to say that you only thought of doing this now, which surprises me even more!"

Maka said, and was about to lift the replay spell and disperse the gray smoke screen. But before he could take action, the strange vision that appeared next made him stop moving again.

However, he saw that the recurring images suddenly dissipated, and then a ball of light silver mist suddenly poured out from between the sticks and condensed in the gray smoke screen.

It was a human figure composed of light mist. Although the details may not be clear, the person's appearance could be roughly distinguished.

Maka turned her head subconsciously and looked at the young man's side - among the young men lying on the ground who were no longer breathing, there was one who looked very similar to that figure.

The replay spell plays back the spells released by the opponent's wand in reverse order. If there is any spell that can cause the replay spell to behave in this way, it is undoubtedly the death curse.

People who die under that magic wand will briefly appear in some form. Of course, it is not a soul or anything, it is just a phenomenon.

While Maka was comparing back and forth, more figures emerged one after another between the two staffs, hanging lightly in front of Maka.

Suddenly, Maka spotted a familiar figure that he had only seen a while ago.
