Chapter five hundred and forty-eight: the third method
The bumpy running gradually awakened Watson from his confusion. Because he was carried on his shoulder, he could clearly see the scene of the people he saved being massacred by the nearly three meters of the Medalik tribe.
Before his brain could react, he felt that he was being replaced by the person carrying him on the shoulder of another person. The person who had been carrying him just now gradually fell to the end of the team because of his physical exhaustion and was killed by the armored man.
A sharp blade pierced his broad chest, and blood bloomed in front of Watson's eyes. Before his death, the man looked at Watson.
Looking at Watson, who was gradually moving away, a smile appeared on the man's face. It seemed that he had done something meaningful before he died. His white teeth were stained with blood and looked a little hideous, but Watson felt that it was a smile that was even brighter than the sun.
He saved his life, and Watson knew this clearly.
But I don't even know his name.
The magician's mental power is far stronger than that of ordinary people. During the period when he fainted, he could still vaguely detect the situation in the outside world and naturally could hear the conversation between these people.
After a brief brain processing, how could Watson not know the current situation?
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his throat was blocked by a mouthful of blood, and then sprayed it on the floor. The original hair color began to turn white at an astonishing speed, which was a sign of the rapid consumption of vitality.
Feeling the magic source that dried up even in the depths of his soul, Watson was powerless and desperate. This time he was hurt so much.
For magicians, overdrawing their vitality is definitely a very serious matter. Unless it is a tree of life, ordinary magic cannot supplement this kind of physical damage to magicians.
But obviously, at this moment, Watson could not even release the magic that he asked for help from other magicians. He was weaker than ordinary people and could not perform any effective treatment on himself.
The killing continued, and the hundreds of people rescued by Watson were reduced by half in a short period of time. All humans who resisted the Medalek clan would be ruthlessly killed by him.
Watson's eyes were red, and his injury was a little heavier.
He took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, and raised his hand tremblingly. The dry magic source was forcibly awakened and overdrawn.
Countless precise reaction techniques are gradually spliced and formed under the operation of mental power, and then...
A space door suddenly opened in front of the Medalek man and instantly swallowed it.
The Medalek people also reacted quickly and pulled away at that moment, but the next second, the space gate disappeared-----
No matter can resist the cutting of space, even the Atruman alloys cannot be used.
Blood bloomed, and the man was instantly divided into two.
But at the same time, the feeling of life passing through the body is unprecedentedly clear in Watson's perception. Wrinkles appear on his tender face, and old-fashioned spots grow, and various functional indicators of the body are also aging rapidly.
At this moment, Watson is growing older at a rate of thousands of times a normal person. If nothing unexpected happens, death will be his only destination.
He could have opened the space door in front of him and teleported himself to Sherlock. He might have a chance to survive, but these people must not be able to survive.
Kindness is a kind of sacrifice. Rescue or not is just a choice.
The man carrying Watson on his shoulder was shouting hysterically and running forward. He felt that his burden was obviously much lighter.
Because Watson has already lost his life at this moment...
The soul escaped from his body and slowly floated in the air. There was no underworld in this world. The dead soul should have returned to the place where the soul belonged, but because Watson's soul was very powerful, it was not sucked in.
Instead, he can look at everything around him from the perspective of a bystander, but the present world is not a place where the soul can stay for a long time. If Watson does not return to the Blue Star and enter the Underworld, very serious consequences will occur.
From his perspective, the Medaleks in the distance, wearing exoskeleton armor seemed to have noticed the situation here.
The captain led a group of elites from the Medalik tribe to start chasing the group of people quickly. The distance is more than a thousand meters. Although it is influenced by various high-rise buildings, it is actually a matter of time to catch up.
"Or, is there no way..."
Watson murmured in a low voice, not saddened by his death, but saddened by his inability to save them.
He also tried whether he could use magic in this state. The answer was no. Although the soul was also a place where magic power was stored, it was just exhausted by Watson.
The source of magic is the transformation of vitality, so how can Watson, who has lost his body, transform vitality?
"I thought that with your power, there should be no problem, but I didn't expect that you would be even stupider than I thought."
At this time, the sound from his side attracted Watson's attention. He turned his head and saw an existence who was also a spiritual body appear beside him.
She was wearing a black robe, greasy hair, and a dark expression, like an old bat.
How could Watson, who occupied most of his life, not recognize this existence?
"Teacher Snape!" Watson said happily, "Are you dead too?"
Then Watson felt a chill covering his heart. Watson suddenly shuddered and then replied awkwardly.
"Sorry, I'm so excited."
Snape snorted.
"Can you save these people save people all over the world? In this world, people are dying at every moment. If you save someone here, another person will die in a corner of the world.
Life and death of life are cycles!
But you are different. You are a magician, a noble soul who pursues the truth, and a pioneer of human civilization!
Your existence is more important than any one. As long as you live, in the future, more people will live in this world.
It's definitely better than wasting your precious life on these few hundred people!
I should have taught you this very early, why do you still make such a stupid choice!”
Snape's tone was a little angry. Obviously, he was so embarrassed that he was so stupid that he had made such a foolish choice for the student whom he regarded as his assistant professor.
Watson's smile was calm and he was silent for a moment, saying.
“I really can’t save people all over the world, nor do I have that great ideal to save people all over the world.
I'm just an ordinary person who can magic, but for me..."
Watson raised his head.
“But at least, I will do what I can! And implement it to the end!
Indeed, if I save one person, another person will die in this world.
But at least, there will not be two who die at this moment.
This is human beings, teachers. A wall is made of countless bricks, not a whole brick. Human civilization is also formed.
There are always some things in this world that are more important than life, and some things must be done by some people, not heroes or gods, but someone must do them.
And, teacher, according to the alchemy formula, I am equivalent to these hundreds of lives, isn’t it?”
Snape stared at him and let out a breath of hump.
"You were just a stupid fat man who didn't know anything eight years ago. What exactly made you understand these silly stupid truths!"
"What Professor Dumbledore taught us is to learn to observe the world carefully, learn to think, and learn to make decisions with independent opinions," Watson said. "I am no longer the stupid fat man who knows nothing, teacher."
"You do have a point of view."
Snape waved his hand, and the magic power condensed in his hands, portraying something on Watson's spiritual body. Huge magic power was injected into Watson's body, and the magic circuit appeared on him.
Over the past eight years, the combat effectiveness of magic apprentices has been soaring, and professors and teachers have not grown up in nothing.
Watson opened his eyes wide, feeling the changes in himself in a bit incredible way, feeling the endless magic power.
But before he could be happy, Snape's voice came from one side, causing his face to froze.
"John H. Watson, in view of your wanton waste of educational resources, I will exempt you from your teaching assistant position on behalf of Hogwarts."
After saying that, he disappeared in front of Watson.
What Snape just did was to materialize Watson's soul.
In the magic view of the shaped moon world, humans are also divided into matter, spirit and soul.
In this, the physical existence of humans (i.e. the body) will gradually corrode with time, while the magic circuit is part of the soul, and the soul will be affected by matter. This impact is generally irreversible and will become more and more serious over time.
This is why Old Man Maki has not become a master even though he has lived for hundreds of years.
But the soul itself will not decay, but will be affected only by the decline of the body.
Materializing the soul means using the nature that the soul will not decay naturally to transform the soul into the body, and replacing the material body that will continue to age.
In this way, the soul will not deteriorate and die due to physical limitations, and thus achieve true immortality.
In addition, because the magic circuit is part of the soul, after materializing the soul, it is equivalent to the whole person being composed of a magic circuit, and the magic power will be infinitely close to infinity.
Conversely, if the material is transformed into a soul, it may be possible to eliminate the inherent automatic decay characteristics of matter.
To reach another level of immortality and omnipotence, it is similar to the information and thoughts of Haruhiri Suzumiya, but it may also bring the shortcomings of the body to the soul.
But with the addition of the rules of death, the souls of this world have become an aging existence.
On the surface, the third method was blocked from the rules, but although the soul will age, the total number of spiritual sons will not decrease.
The aging and change of the soul, whether it is to become virtual or the god of death, is just a change in form.
It also essentially represents "eternity".
The third method of this world also uses this characteristic of the soul and manipulates it, which is no different from the third method.
The materialization of the soul, in other words, is the magic of realizing complete immortality.
On the day of completion, you will get endless magical sources due to the perpetual movement of the soul.
This magic was passed down by Einzberen's family, and the Holy Grail War system was built to realize it.
The existence of heroic spirits is the use of the materialized magic of souls.
According to the settings in Magic Night, the third method has a far more than that.
Those who have mastered the third magic can copy their souls, transfer their souls, and materialize their own and others' souls.
The life after the materialization of the soul can be regarded as a high-dimensional life body, with infinite energy, immortality, and even transforming itself into any form and possessing its power.
Some are similar to the power of the horse-faced water monster, but he can only change into ordinary animals or magical animals, but the materialization of the soul has the possibility of transforming into a fantasy species.
Even the seventy-two transformations in mythology can be accomplished.
If Sun Wukong appears in the subsequent world of the Moon, he might be the accomplished soul materialization.
