Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

"Of course I know that."

Jiang Li nodded.

After all, he himself is the true embodiment of "God's Smile", one of the seven wonders. Other legends include "awakening oneself", "the universal treasure that can fulfill wishes", "the mysterious woman who appears at night", "the ghost howling in the music classroom", etc. are also well-known.

"Among the seven mysteries, there's a mysterious legend that says 'wandering around the school at night might lead you to a mysterious dimension.'"

Merlin wiggled his fingers left and right, looking relaxed.

"You mean, that so-called mysterious space is Roya's hiding place?"

"Really quick response."

Merlin nodded with a smile.

"Just as your investigation has revealed, Luo Ya is indeed hiding in the school, but he's using that mysterious space as his base. It's independent of time and space, and even clairvoyance can't peek inside. Unless you find the right method, you can't get in."

It turned out to be the case.

This way, everything fits in.

Now it was clear why Scathach couldn't see Roya even though he was hiding in the school.

Sure enough, the incredible events in urban legends are all true!

"You know quite a lot."

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.

Merlin smiled but said nothing.

This guy might have been using his clairvoyance to spy on Kinoko City, so he knows everything they've done so far.

"What is that method?"

Jiang Li asked directly.

"Young people are really impatient."

Merlin laughed, and when he saw Jiang Li's brows raised and his eyes filled with anger, he cleared his throat.

"Just find an unawakened heroic spirit to accompany you."

Looking for an unawakened heroic spirit to accompany you?

What a weird way to open it?

“Why is it designed like this?”

Jiang Li looked puzzled.

“Even I don’t know about this part anymore.”

Merlin spread his hands helplessly.

"I know who created that dimension, but I can't see what's going on inside... Ah, but I do know the phenomenon. Unawakened Heroic Spirits that enter that dimension either awaken successfully or become dregs when they emerge!"

what?

Jiang Li was slightly startled.

"Oh right, a few days ago, when Medea was doing overtime at school, she accidentally entered that dimension and turned into debris when she came out."

Merlin paused and added.

Is that really the case?

"Hearing what you said, could it be that the space is used to catalyze the awakening of heroic spirits?"

Jiang Li pondered for a while.

"If we only consider the purpose, I'm afraid it's probably the case."

Merlin nodded calmly, as he had guessed the same.

"But the purpose of the person who created the mysterious space is still unknown... Okay, here comes the problem. There are a lot of unawakened heroes on the street. Who are you going to take to open the door?"

If you want to open the door to the mysterious space, you must bring an unawakened heroic spirit with you.

Jiang Li fell into deep thought.

Judging from the conversation, that mysterious space is dangerous to the heroic spirits. Once they enter it, they will either awaken or turn into residue.

If Jiang Li wanted to find an unawakened heroic spirit, he would have to bear the consequences of turning the other party into debris.

To put it bluntly, Jiang Li had to take responsibility for an unrelated life.

Do you want to capture a random heroic spirit?

Jiang Li felt a little heavy.

"Unawakened Heroic Spirits... Do you need such people?"

Minamoto no Raikou watched for a long time.

It was not until Jiang Li fell into deep thought that she slowly spoke.

"In that case, let me go."

"Mother?"

Souji's eyes widened.

Although I don’t know what my brother and the others are planning to do, judging from the atmosphere, it must be something very dangerous. Why does Mom want to step out at this time?

"Don't cause trouble."

Jiang Li glared at Minamoto no Raikou with an unhappy look.

"What we are about to do is very dangerous. How could I let you get close to danger?"

In the past, Minamoto no Raikou would most likely have retreated after being glared at by him.

She dotes on her children too much, but she is completely helpless with them.

"Ali, I understand how you feel."

But today she had no intention of backing down and stood in front of Jiang Li with exceptional determination.

"Listen carefully. I've actually been dreaming for a while now. In my dreams, I've been experiencing a life that feels like it's mine, yet it doesn't seem like it's mine... I'm thinking, maybe that's the heroic spirit you're talking about."

Minamoto no Raikou's expression was a little gloomy, and there was a hint of unintentional hesitation in his eyes.

"Oh, so Miss Raikou is awakening?"

Merlin immediately clapped his hands and laughed.

"Isn't this perfect? How about taking this opportunity to awaken Miss Raikou all at once?"

"Miss or something..."

"I reject."

Jiang Li was not shaken at all.

"If he's awakening, then let him awaken naturally. There's no need to get involved in this mess. He's just an unawakened Heroic Spirit. We can find someone else."

"But that would put others in danger, wouldn't it?"

"That's better than letting you go."

No matter what Minamoto no Raikou said, Jiang Li had no intention of giving in.

If Jiang Li had to choose between an unknown stranger and Minamoto no Raikou, he would choose Minamoto no Raikou without hesitation.

"Ali, you are really overprotective!"

Minamoto no Raikou held her face in her hands. Although she was rejected again and again, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and her face was filled with a happy smile.

She really enjoyed this kind of care from her son and felt warm in her heart.

"Can I say something?"

Merlin slurped a sip of hot tea and interrupted when he saw this.

"Whether it's a natural awakening or a catalytic awakening, there's always danger."

He continued talking to himself.

"Personally, I think it would be better to have Miss Raikou go with us. At least if she awakens, we'll be there to look after her."

If she awakens naturally, no one knows when she will awaken. There are many unknown factors. If she takes this opportunity to catalyze her awakening, with Merlin and Jiang Li by her side, it will at least be safer.

Jiang Li frowned and had to admit that this did make sense.

"And, more importantly—when it comes to the final moment, no one can stay out of it."

Merlin's expression grew serious.

"Whether awakened or not, everyone will eventually be dragged into the ritual. Awakening yourself will actually provide more security for your life."

"Brother Jiang Li, you seem to care deeply about your family and value friendship. This is a good thing, but when the time comes, friendship will only become a burden to you."

It is impossible to protect your unawakened family and fight for the position of UO at the same time.

In that case, his family will inevitably slow him down and even become his weakness and burden.

This is what Merlin meant by that.

Chapter 650 What is your purpose?

2023-06-01

"I see."

Jiang Li sighed and rubbed his head irritably.

He was convinced.

"Then let Raikou go with us."

…………

There is not a single star in the night sky tonight, only a full moon as bright as a jade plate, shining its bright moonlight onto the earth. The city is bathed in moonlight, as if covered with a layer of white frost.

"It's a full moon tonight."

Merlin looked up at the sky, admiring the bright moonlight.

"Do you really intend to join us?"

Jiang Li couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the old nightmare demon who looked so relaxed as if he was on a picnic.

At this time, the three were on their way to school.

I don’t know if it’s because the atmosphere tonight is too weird, but there are very few pedestrians on the road.

"Of course."

Merlin nodded calmly.

"But there's no point in being anxious. Roja, who ate Dracula, is already difficult to deal with, not to mention that tonight is a full moon night. If we want to deal with him, we must be well prepared for the battle."

Dracula is the most famous vampire in the world and the source of the concept of vampire. His fame is even as high as some great heroes in history.

As we all know, the strength of Heroic Spirits is mostly linked to their fame. Therefore, although Vlad III himself is not very strong, Dracula is undoubtedly a top servant!

The full moon night is when the power of vampires is at its strongest. Roja is now undoubtedly the peak of the peak, and his strength is far beyond expectations.

It can be seen from the previous fight that in such a hurry, even Jiang Li fell into a disadvantage.

That guy even possesses a power similar to the Mystic Eyes of Death, which is extremely powerful.

"Let me explain in advance, Roya's eyes are not the Mystic Eyes of Death."

As if seeing through his fear, Merlin explained.

"The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are mythical. Even if they appeared in modern times, it would be impossible to reproduce them in their entirety. At most, only a degraded version would appear, and that required special qualifications."

"Luo Ya doesn't have that kind of talent. Although he can see the line, the line he sees is not the line of death, but the line of life. If he cuts along the line, he will only plunder the target's vitality."

Eye of Life.

Merlin called Roya's eyes that.
