"It's him!"

Whether it's because Maka came too quickly, or because Smith's assistant minister's nephew came too slowly... we should wait until we find a way to get out of this matter before we think about it!

After Asa saw the appearance of the person clearly, he immediately stood in front of Miriam, and the wand in his hand had already emitted a burst of bright light.

Almost at the same time, Miriam, who had just let go of an Imperius Curse, hid behind Asaph without hesitation, using the cover to prepare to apparate.

Among all the members sent this time, Miriam's mission is the most important.

Regarding this point, both the action team headed by Asaph and Miriam herself are very clear in their hearts.

What they want is to resolutely complete the mission, and for this goal everyone can be sacrificed.

However, in the next second, Miriam tightly grasped the back of Asaph's coat.

"Can't Disapparate, an anti-Apparition spell has been set here!"

These words, which were spoken in an extremely low voice, made Asa's scalp tingle. Whenever things would develop in the worst direction, he would always have this kind of bad premonition, and this was often due to the situation.

Apparently out of his control.

"I'll stop him, you run away from the back door immediately!"

While whispering the instructions, Asaph never stopped waving the magic wand in his hand, but the powerful spells produced only a shower of brilliant light particles and sparks.

This undoubtedly means that all of his spells have been resisted, not even one was missed!

Fortunately, because he was still exerting his magic power unremittingly, the figure that originally rushed straight towards this direction had to slow down.

In other words, at least it seems that the blocking effect is still there after all.

And even more fortunately, he also has a good teammate who is full of action and knows what to do when. In the rational concept of completing the task first, Miriam did not need Asa to remind her. She had already discovered the phantom.

At the moment when his transformation was limited, he chose to retreat alone.

But the moment Miriam took the first step back, the figure on the opposite side, which was almost submerged in the light of many spells, actually started to move laterally!

In Asaph's eyes, it seemed as if the other party could detect any movement of the two of them in all directions, and his overall judgment of this encounter was simply extraordinary.

In order to continue to help Miriam block the opponent's sight, Asa had to move along with the opponent's angle.

But while paying attention to the companions behind him, he must also maintain the firepower of the spell. This is also a huge challenge for Asaph, who has been tempered for a long time.

But judging from the previous meeting, all he can do now is to maintain high frequency and high accuracy of casting spells. As long as the opponent still needs defense, his combat plan will be effective!

However, the shortening of the distance between the two sides was still ruthlessly accelerated.

"What should I do... If this continues, it will be a matter of time before I get caught..."

Behind Asaph, Miriam had no way to leave first at this moment.

Since the opponent was moving back and forth laterally, if she left Asaph's cover, there would be a risk of being exposed to the opponent's field of vision.

"I'm with you too-" "No!"

Seeing that the situation had become urgent, Miriam couldn't help but hesitate, and seemed to decide to help Asaph cast a spell to put pressure on the other party.

But Asaph, who was standing in front of her, decisively rejected her. Asaph's behavior even forced him to interrupt a spell, causing the other party to launch a counterattack.

"boom!"

A light that seemed to be a stun spell hit Asaph directly, but in order to regain the initiative, he had to resist it.

I don’t know why he was able to withstand the stun curse with his body alone. In short, he did block it - although this also forced him to take several steps back.

For a moment, a red light flashed on Asaph's chest, and a dazzling brilliance suddenly exploded.

"correct!"

Miriam was knocked back two steps by Asaph, but then she seemed to have thought of something, and her heart suddenly became enlightened.

"Asaph, listen to me -" she leaned behind him and said in a very small voice, "when he goes to the right, we will run to the left at the same time! I will make sure to always stay in a straight line with you.

.”

Her meaning is actually very clear. She and Asa are currently in a corner of the hall, which is definitely not conducive to evacuation.

But not far away, there is a corner leading to the side corridor. As long as she can move there, the possibility of her escaping alone will greatly increase!

"...How is it?" Miriam finally asked.

This time, Asaph did not deny it after hearing this. While trying to maintain the stormy spell attack, he nodded slightly.

And just a few seconds later, Miriam quickly patted Asaph on the back.

"Walk!"

…

"The magic item used to 'self-destruct' should be on the man's body. There is a vague magic wave in the inner pocket of the coat..."

Before following his "other self" into the foyer, Maka had swallowed another bottle of Immortal Invisibility Potion. Coupled with the invisibility effect of the Illusion Curse, he was now almost as if he did not exist.

In this way, he could take the time to observe the two people while their attention was focused elsewhere.

Of course, the things he needs to do won't actually be reduced. After all, sunflowers don't know how to play wizard duels... Oh, okay! Although it's not really a sunflower.

Suddenly, Maka looked at the two people moving quickly and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Well," he nodded and said silently, "Do you want to run away from there..."

To be honest, at this moment, Maka did hesitate - he didn't know whether to stop the other party.

Because he was worried that if the other party was forced into a dead end, the previous bad results would happen again in front of him.

"Well, compared to these two people thinking together, it is the best choice to keep one person." In just the blink of an eye, Maka made a decision, "What's more, it seems that the man will stay.

Just come down and take cover... If that's not the case, then try using the soul rule once!"

Yes, he decided not to stop the other party's cover and escape plan, but just watched the woman leave first.

In fact, Maka does not want to use the soul rules to peel off the opponent's soul, because even if it can prevent the previous results from happening again, he currently has no way to directly read the memory content from the soul.

In other words, this should only be used as a last resort.

Just as Maka expected, when the two men successfully ran to the corner of the corridor, Miriam, who was hiding behind Asa, immediately retreated into the corridor.

Asaph in front immediately increased the intensity of his attack. This may be the last contribution he can make.

The real Maka was actually standing next to the corridor. While he was freeing his fake self from Asaph's spell, he silently walked behind Asaph.

That was Miriam's hiding place just now, but now, it suddenly became Maka's sneak attack.

"Rumble--"

Maka, who was behind the enemy, waved her backhand, and a wall made of rock suddenly rose from the floor, sealing off the corridor where Miriam escaped.

"damn it!"

Of course Asaph noticed it - it was so loud that it was hard for him not to hear it!

But just as he glanced back from the corner of his eye, Maka took a small step to the other side of his head and gently shook her palm on the outside of his coat.

"So, is this some kind of curse that binds vitality and brain together?" This thought immediately flashed through Maka's mind.

Just like an unbreakable curse that will lead to tragic death on the spot if the oath is broken, the existence that guides the effectiveness of the curse is the "oath" itself, not the two people who made the oath.

Therefore, no problem can be found in a wizard who is an Oathkeeper.

"...and it should be able to be triggered by willpower alone," he thought quickly, "What is it? Is it betrayal? Or some other 'idea'?"

After seizing the time to think about it, Maka suddenly stretched out her hand and tapped the spot on the opponent's coat twice. This time, he had activated his agility ability, and his speed was astonishingly fast.

"who!"

At this time, Asaph was naturally on high alert at all times.

It would be okay if Maka didn't touch him, but if she stretched out her finger like this, no matter how fast Maka was and how accurate her control was, she would definitely touch his clothes.

Asaph's awareness was not beyond Maka's expectation.

So, when the other party jumped aside quickly and looked over, Maka stared at the other party's eyes as quickly as possible.

This is a good time for Legilimency.

Unfortunately, just when Maka had almost touched the other party's spirit, the other party seemed to feel something keenly and looked away in a hurry.

"oh?"

Facts have proved that no magic spell is invincible.

After realizing that the other party was alert, Maka finally removed the phantom spell from his body, revealing his figure. As for the remaining invisibility effect of the Immortal Hidden Potion, it had automatically expired.

"Well..." He sighed first, and then said, "Excellent awareness of the enemy - you are a team with rich combat experience! Regarding the organization behind you..."

Maka looked at the expressionless look on the other party's face and finally shook her head.

"Okay! I guess I don't have to ask such a stupid question, because you won't give me the answer."
