Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 378 Secret Puppet Master?

After the movement in the warehouse completely disappeared, Adele came out of the hiding place cautiously.

There is a huge difference in combat effectiveness between a prepared witch and an unprepared witch.

After all, this path is called "Witch", and the iconic ability should naturally be black magic.However, compared to the two abilities frequently used by witches, black fire and frost, black magic takes longer to prepare, and some spells require specific casting materials, which are not very useful in encounters.

Even for Tracy, the pirate general who is powerful in the five seas, her main means in encounters are black fire, frost, and silk thread, which are the oldest three witches, plus at most the new plague halo of Sequence Five.

In the civil wars of the same sequence, black magic was even less used.There is no other reason, the witch's black fire is too powerful, so powerful that the witch can basically throw a ball of black fire over without thinking when encountering mysterious events.

Black fire will only burn spiritual objects, and will not ignite combustible objects in the environment, so it is difficult for people to use it in reverse. For spirituality, just rub a ball of black fire and throw it over.

Therefore, according to Ge Gelan's description, most witches will specialize in the black fire skill, which can be used offensively and defensively, and is convenient and quick to use.

Why bother to prepare a black magic when I can solve it with a ball of black fire?Every witch who is asked why she doesn't use black magic can answer so confidently.

The black fire can easily burn the magic used to maintain the ritual circle, or directly act on itself, burning away the negative effects such as curses and diseases that have not yet fully acted on itself.

This is also the reason why Adele and a few other low-level witches were able to stalemate Tracy when the "Queen Honeysuckle" first rushed out of the sea. The strength leap of Sequence is not as obvious as Seer's Sequence Five.

However, as long as the witches are given time, their black magic is definitely one of the most mysterious and terrifying abilities, because the type of black magic that each witch will use is not fixed. In this regard, different witch families have different inheritances. It also makes it difficult for enemies to target this ability in general.

And Adele's black magic is inherited from the witch Gagran who has survived for hundreds of years, and those witches who became monks halfway can't compare with her.So far, the abilities she has mastered not only include basic curses such as deceleration, corrosion, and poisoning, but also more advanced types, such as the mirror image curse she just attached to the gate.

This curse of the mirror image was realized by combining the witch's control over the mirror magic. Adele had frozen a rough mirror inside the gate in advance, allowing Esdeth's figure to be reflected in the mirror, and then let him Destroying a mirror does similar damage to shadows in the mirror.

This ability was also used by Adele when dealing with the weird suture monster that crawled out of the Nebuchadnezzar, but this time the mirror was bigger, directly reflecting the entire Estes into it.

In fact, if Cassian beside Esdeth reacted in time and used the purification ability of the sun priest to cover Esdesh's body before the mirror shattered, then the curse would not be able to affect Esdesh's body.In addition, the ability of the sacred system and the ability of the rules can effectively limit this kind of black magic.

But the problem is that Cassian didn't know that the witch possessed this kind of spell. He had no experience in dealing with it before, and he didn't take precautions in advance. When he saw the cracks in Esdeth's body, it was too late.

Holding the black fire, Adele walked cautiously into the warehouse.

She didn't turn on her spirit vision, because she knew that the air was almost full of spores left by Frank's mushrooms, and when she turned on her spirit vision, she could only see those tiny powders that shone with a strange luster.

It might be more convenient to set fire to the whole warehouse...

Adele endured the psychological discomfort and walked into the room. The black flames formed two screens around her.

In the warehouse, she saw the herbs in the boxes, marked with obvious poisonous signs.But now, these things have been mixed with Frank's mushrooms, and they must be handled by professionals.

Adele walked to Santana's body, and he was the first person to fall just now, which surprised Adele very much.

She deliberately avoided Santana's direction when manipulating the blood mist. Logically speaking, Santana shouldn't be the first person to be infected with the fungus, but just now he became the first victim.Adele always felt that there were other reasons behind this.

"I remember, Frank and I talking about the growing conditions for these mushrooms..."

Adele frowned and began to think hard.

Although Frank had only talked to her for less than three months, during this time her memory had been severely damaged by the veil of night and the bracelet of summoning spirits. When she suddenly thought about it, she still couldn't react.

Frank seems to have told her at the time that these mushrooms have very low requirements for growth conditions, almost equal to none, and can grow wantonly in the temperature range of minus [-] degrees to minus [-] degrees, and can also be controlled by the Mother Earth system. The spell and the ability of the "Harvest Priest" to speed up the growth of these mushrooms.

In addition, there are some characteristics shared by mushrooms, such as liking dark and humid environments, growing on dead trees or dead animals and plants...

Wait, dead plant and animal carcasses?

Adele's eyelids twitched slightly uneasily, this addition reminded her of what Gagaran had said to her before leaving:
"...Moreover, this kind of manipulation is fatal. Once the complete manipulation is completed, even if the secret puppet master later releases the thread of the spirit body, the manipulated person is already dead. To a certain extent, this is a demigod. One of the strongest abilities below."

In other words, there is a "Secret Puppet Master" hidden among these people, who made Santana his own secret puppet?
In Adele's mind, the middle-aged gentleman called "Mr. Sotos" suddenly appeared in the crowd.

In the chaos just now, this Sotos never left the place ten meters away from Santana, and was always inseparable from the secret puppet Santana until Santana died completely!
