49. An old acquaintance in hell(1/3)
"Bang"
Shazan, who flew around like lightning in the temple, was hit by a blue ray.
He felt his body become very heavy, and he danced and fell to the ground like a stone.
"Clang"
He hit the floor and instinctively got up, but the cold blade hit Shazan's neck the next second.
The sword blade exuding cold air made Shazan shudder.
He shrugged and raised his hands with regret.
He looked at Merlin hovering beside him and said:
"Okay, I lost, mentor, you are so awesome."
"Stop talking wise words."
Merlin put away his sword and said:
"for how long?"
“shazam!”
Shazan shouted out the word of transformation, and under the thunder bombardment, he regained the appearance of Billy Batson.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, looked at his watch, and he said:
"27 seconds"
"hehe."
Merlin let out an unidentified laugh.
The sharp sword in his hand turned into magic and dissipated. He floated back to the place where the old wizard Shazan had sat before. He sat on the stone chair, raised his legs and placed his hands on the armrests.
He said to Billy:
"I found one of your problems, Billy."
"When you transform into Shazam Superman, you become very reckless and lack calm."
"I seriously suspect that the divine power that Lao Shazan gave you made you fill your brain with muscles after growing up, as if you were imposed with a spell of mental retardation and recklessness."
"I don't know why."
Billy walked to Merlin, grabbed his hair and said to Merlin:
"After transforming, I feel very strong."
"That feeling of power made me a little lost. I tried to calm down, but I couldn't do it. I felt that the power in my body could break a mountain, and it didn't seem to require defense, just rushed out."
"Lack of ability to control power."
Meilin's fingers were intertwined, and he narrowed his eyes and said to his disciples:
"You can't blame you. After all, you are just a child. When your mind is immature, your huge power will replace your own thinking."
"Then what should I do?"
Billy asked:
"You must have a solution, right, mentor?"
"practise."
Merlin shook his head and said:
"Continuous practice, adapt to the power behind the transformation, and try to control it, rather than being controlled by it, you must seize the time to master it, Billy."
"Don't forget, there is a wandering evil ghost looking for you in the city outside."
Billy pursed his lips and said:
"I heard that a few days ago, a high-tech company in the city was invaded by a thug, and everyone inside died. Mentor, do you think that's it?"
"Don't be lucky."
Merlin said:
"You have to be prepared, I can't help you with this, and I don't think you need help."
"Shazan is very powerful, and if you reach your best, I believe you can solve this problem yourself."
He looked at Billy's expression, he looked into the child's eyes, and after a moment, Merlin chuckled, he reached out and patted Billy's head, he said:
"What? Are you scared?"
"Um."
Billy said honestly:
"He can kill people, and he killed so many people. I am just a 15-year-old child. I can't even hold on to you for 30 seconds. If I encounter it now, I think I have a very small chance of winning."
"If you're scared for this reason, you don't have to."
Merlin whispered:
"Although I have lost my strength, my vision and combat experience as a Heavenly Father are still there. There are only so many people in this world who can last for 30 seconds in front of me."
"And it definitely does not include a guy who is possessed by an evil ghost and cannot resist."
"Let's do this. In the next few days, you will maintain your transformation state as much as possible, so that your will and your power can be integrated more deeply. In addition, you need to prepare something."
Merlin said to his disciples:
"Shazan's power may be very useful, but it has a fatal drawback."
"What?"
Billy asked in surprise.
“Stand there!”
Merlin pointed to the stone platform in front of him, and Billy walked over quickly.
"Transform now!"
Merlin raised her finger and said to Billy:
"Call out its name!"
Billy didn't know what the tutor was going to do, but he still did.
“sha”
When he had just read the first syllable.
Merlin swung his fingers lightly, and a silent spell was applied to Billy.
He could no longer make a sound, and Shazam's transformation process was forcibly interrupted, and the surging magic that had already jumped was calmed down quickly like a tide.
Billy's expression became horrified at this moment.
He knew what the fatal flaw was mentioned by the mentor.
"When Old Shazan gave you power, I said that this kind of fighting style is stupid and shameful."
Merlin untied the silence curse, leaned against the stone chair and said to his disciples:
"Now you see that any keen and silent wizard can eat you tightly. Billy even has a roll of tape or a basin of water on hand to make you die of corpses."
"Then what should I do?"
Billy asked in a panic.
“Take it as a trump card.”
Merlin said:
"Don't expose Shazam's superman's power when it's unnecessary."
"Treat yourself as a real spellcaster and fight with the mind of a wizard, only when you are on the verge of despair, you are activate your power."
"At any time, a child, you must keep a card in your hand at any time. As long as you have a trump card, you will never lose. This is also the purpose of letting you learn magic."
"Of course, to avoid a situation like the one just now, you need to prepare yourself a magic thing."
Merlin said to Billy:
"A thing called the external tongue requires some alchemy attainments to be made. It can make you shout the word "transformation" in any loss of voice."
"After you leave today, call Zatanna."
Merlin said to Billy:
"Just say it was what I said, she will prepare that thing for you in the shortest time."
"But the validity period of external tongue is only 1-2 years. Zatanna can help you make the first one. The next ones need to collect the materials yourself to do."
"Um."
Billy nodded.
