That was a "Magic Spirit Gear" unique to Aleister Crowley — "Spirit-Bound Restraint," a magic that forcibly injects an image of the caster's meditation into the mind of the viewer.
Simply put, the caster makes a gesture as a guide, and the target will instinctively associate it with a weapon, power, and might represented by the gesture. Then, the magic will make that part of the imagination into reality, imposing it on the target.
It's a magic that makes the victim be killed by their own imagination.
Aleister faced Roy and made a shooting gesture, causing Roy to first imagine a pistol, a weapon he was most familiar with. But then, he saw that the hand Aleister used to make the finger-gun gesture was emitting "50, 21, 35" in sparks.
These mysterious numbers were connected to Roy's brain, guiding his thinking and imagination. In Roy's mind, the little pistol had already become an anti-material sniper rifle.
For Roy now, an anti-material sniper rifle was enough to cut him in half and kill him completely.
As if that wasn't enough, Aleister's empty left hand made a move, and a silver-white staff like a spiral tower appeared in his left palm.
Impact Staff, this Magic Spirit Gear belonged to Aleister's master, Allen Bennett, and after something, it was entrusted to Aleister by the deceased Allen Bennett.
Neither the "Impact Staff" nor "Spirit-Bound Restraint" has any exaggerated performance in their respective abilities, but when these two "Techniques" are combined, they will unleash unimaginable power.
"Impact Staff" as an auxiliary technique will amplify the imagined power of "Spirit-Bound Restraint" by ten times. This is one of Aleister's trump cards to dare to face "Magic Gods" with a mortal body.
The "Magic Gods" who can twist all the rules have an unimaginable amount of knowledge and thus have an immeasurable imagination. Under the guidance of "Spirit-Bound Restraint" on imagination and the tenfold amplification of the "Impact Staff," even the "Magic Gods" would be overwhelmed.
Roy didn't expect Aleister to hold him in such high regard. Perhaps amazed by Roy's "decoding" of the secrets of the "Book of Law," he had almost used his trump card from the start, determined to eliminate him in one blow.
But Roy had absolutely no honor or pride in this. In his perception, the power of the anti-material sniper rifle was almost transformed into an intercontinental ballistic missile under the amplification of the "Impact Staff."
An anti-material sniper rifle was already enough to kill Roy, let alone using such an exaggerated method as an ICBM to kill a mere human.
The fear of death surged from the depths of Roy's consciousness like a volcanic eruption, filling his mind, endless despair almost drove him completely mad. The evil from the endless hell was about to pull him completely into the void world from which he could no longer escape.
He would die, he would definitely die. Even a powerful person with "Mind's Eye" could not find a sliver of a chance to survive in this desperate situation.
Roy was just a normal fifteen-year-old boy. He only knew some basic suggestive magic. He didn't even understand the more powerful, systematic magic.
And the enemy he was facing was the greatest magician of the 20th century, the founder of modern mysticism, who wanted to destroy magic with one person, who dared to confront the whole world, a mythical existence — Aleister Crowley!
Aleister's enmity with the whole world wasn't an exaggeration, but a true fact. All magicians in the world were his enemies, even the Magic Gods who could reverse life and death, tamper with the rules, and twist the world, had already been written on Aleister's enemy list.
This disparity was already desperate. But Aleister, in order to ensure that everything was foolproof, used one of his strongest means to confront the Magic Gods right from the start!
"『BEAST』666!! (Beast of Revelation)"
Only then did Aleister speak his magic name. In the modern magic world, this meant a situation where both sides would fight to the death.
"Boom————"
Roy's mind exploded instantly, all his consciousness completely dissipated, as if the entire ocean had been evaporated.
It was like a normal human being being hit directly by an ICBM, under the fierce flames and shock waves, all he could leave behind were tiny pieces of a body, and even those body fragments couldn't be found.
Countless scenes flashed through Roy's mind, a strange and wonderful scene. There was a picture of his ordinary life for more than twenty years before he crossed over, and there were snippets of his life in London after he crossed over, living a warm but hard life with Lola.
Every picture was so clear, as if Roy had lived his life again in an instant.
He knew that this was what people called the last light of life before death.
Until the last picture, Roy's consciousness came to a book — "The Book of 777," the culmination of Aleister Crowley's thoughts.
The ideas in this book were actually still full of Aleister Crowley's imagination, like a peerless master in a martial arts novel who created a secret manual, but in reality, even the creator himself had not reached the deepest level of this manual.
Aleister was like that. The "Book of 777" records more like his future thoughts about his own path, a realm that even he himself had not yet reached.
And at the moment of Roy's death, his mind seemed to be infinitely sublimated, the contents of "The Book of 777" were fully understood by him, completely transformed into knowledge that belonged to him —
"『BEAST』777, I will cross the evil of humanity!!"
The name of magic is the reason why a magician uses magic, it will be remembered by the magician, it is a beacon that guides the magician forward, it is the absolute root that the magician cannot forget.
At this moment of certain death, Roy finally understood the path he should be determined to take, using the knowledge recorded in "The Book of 777." He would bear the "evil of humanity" in the name of "God," become the beginning of the creation, the end of the apocalypse!
As Roy uttered his "magic name" in this complex phase, his form finally manifested in this phase.
When Aleister saw Roy's true appearance, the expression on his face was extremely interesting.
Surprise, shock, disbelief, realization, calmness, bitterness, until miserable despair.
"Clank —"
The Impact Staff slipped from Aleister's palm and fell on this void land, and he knelt on the ground.
"No——————————"
Hearing Aleister's heart-wrenching, mournful cry, Roy didn't know why, but he just wanted to laugh.
Didn't his life just end inexplicably?
Hearing about the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening. This sentence from "The Analects" became the best description of Roy now.
At this moment, Roy seemed to hear a sigh and a faint whisper —
『What you desire to do, is your law.』
Roy's consciousness completely submerged.
