Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 572: Part of the Ritual

After two rounds of shelling, the "Queen Anne's Revenge" seemed to fall into a brief fire vacuum. At this time, its hull outlined in ghostly green completely sailed out of the spiritual world, and stranded itself on the beach with the angle of the ship's side facing the enemy. beside.

But judging from the sediment accumulated on its bow, it is not difficult to get out of this state with its power. It only takes the initiative to rush to the beach to have a better shooting angle.

The smoke and golden afterglow in the air dispersed, revealing the remaining parts of the black giant hand that had been continuously bombarded by artillery.

Countless bone-deep holes were blasted out on its surface, and some of the attacks even directly penetrated the arm, which was more than ten meters long. The black granules in the penetrated wounds continued to squirm, but it was difficult to reconnect them for a while. The skulls and protruding eyeballs on the surface of the arm were wiped away by the explosion, leaving only the devastated skin that was still dripping with mucus.

After being severely injured, it still stood firmly in the air, its fingers clenched tightly, as if its complete body hidden in the spiritual world was still strong enough to fight.

But above it, the two-headed messenger Reinette had already identified the enemy and friend based on the attack just now, and continued to fly downwards. The other two heads in her hands opened their mouths wide and rushed towards the giant black hand.

At this time, another angel arrived, and her strategy of holding back the enemy was no longer applicable. Next, it was time for her to counterattack!
Thinking of this, the eight blood-red eyes of this mysterious messenger couldn't help but reveal a strange emotion.

Under one person and one hand, the huge black battleship was fully formed, leaving the spiritual world and entering reality. The cannons on the deck were raised to the sky one by one, loading on their own without anyone controlling them. Aiming at the giant black hand, they were about to launch the next move. A bombardment like a golden rain.

Suddenly, the five fingers of the giant black hand that was staying in the air spread open, and the skin of the palm split into a gap as wide as the palm. In it, an eye containing endless evil thoughts opened and looked downward.

From beginning to end, it never glanced at Zatvin on the beach.

She looked at the girl in the white dress on the dark deck, and seemed to recognize the angel, but the eight blood-red eyes only stayed for a moment, and then they all focused on Zatwin on the beach.

Its eyes rested for a moment on Klein, who held up "Grossell's Travels", and Angel, who subconsciously looked away even if he was protected by an angel. Finally, it looked at the "Queen Anne's Revenge" that had ruined his good deeds.

In the sky, the four heads returned to her hands, and her body returned to normal size. Reinette Tinichole had similar thoughts and did not enter the spiritual world to track the black giant hand that took away the "Rose School" demigod. .

He suddenly discovered that the situation on the battlefield seemed to have reversed in an instant.

Whoa, the huge eyes closed, and the giant black hand with its five fingers closed again turned around without any hesitation and flew towards the top of the cliff.

She could feel that the giant hand had the strength of no less than an angel, and might even surpass Sequence 2. However, because the main body did not have time to cross the extremely long distance to come here, it could only use some method to transfer part of the power, so it showed His strength is not as good as his own.

Behind Angel, Klein snapped his fingers, and a ball of bright yellow flames shot up beside Zatwin. The next moment, the flames surged, and Angel sprang out, condensing a huge sword composed of flames and lava with his hands, and stabbed him head-on. Twin chops.

His light brown eyes flashed with determination, and he raised his hands.

"Apostle of Desire", "Sword of Magma"!
Zatwin's pupils shrank. He tried his best to guard against the attacks of the "Queen Anne's Revenge" and the Headless Courier. He was looking for opportunities to escape or even surrender. However, he did not expect that the first person to attack would be a man who was running around under his own command just now. , Sequence 5 who is powerless to fight back!

Especially Angel, a thought suddenly popped into her mind that she had never thought about before and did not dare to think about:

Angel and Klein also made this discovery. Their eyes no longer looked at the demigods of the "Rose School" who had been chasing them, but instead looked at them with apprehension and evaluation.

Even if he enters the spirit world to track the opponent, he may not be able to win the next battle...

The other party retreated only because the purpose of the trip could not be achieved, not because he was afraid of her entanglement.

Can this demigod, who has digested the "Pain" potion and gathered the ingredients for the "Despair" potion, be used for his promotion ceremony?
This is a "complete" demigod, different from the out-of-control Nighthawks deep in the mines on Pala Island, and different from the "King of the North" who has some demigod abilities in "Grossell's Travels". He is a real Yes, a high-sequence Extraordinary person who is alive and kicking!
Her eyes gradually took on murderous intent.

Surrounded by all kinds of sights, this ragged demigod who was not having much luck today swallowed involuntarily.

It withstood the roaring and biting of Reinette's two heads, flew back to the top of the cliff, grabbed the unconscious "Rose School" demigod Jacks who was lying on the ground, and then took it back like an invisible giant. Like his own arm, he floated upside down into the sky, gradually disappearing into the slightly dim clouds.

On the black deck, Anne, wearing a simple white dress with flowing black hair, raised her head high and stared back with her golden eyes without fear.

At this moment, time and space seemed to stand still.

"Snapped."

Anne Gustave retracted her gaze towards the sky, and the artillery on the deck also lowered its muzzle, no longer showing the nervous look of being ready to go.

Then he quickly "mirror flashed" to a puddle in the distance on the beach.

If Zatwin still had any luck when the terrifying black battleship had just appeared and had not yet launched an attack, he was now extremely sure that the angel surrounded by a majestic aura that made people afraid to look directly was the angel. The "arbiter" who previously granted blessings remotely and "forbids possession" is an extraordinary person.

With the help of an angel, let alone Sequence 5, even if Sequence 7 raised the butcher's knife in front of him, he would have no choice but to run for his life!

"Lord Si'a...why didn't he take me with him!"

At this moment, in addition to the thought of escaping, Zatwin also had a trace of despair and resentment towards the leader of the "Rose School of Thought".

He aimed his eyes towards the puddle further away and was about to activate "Mirror Flash" again to escape from here.

A demigod wants to escape, but not many people can stay...

His spirituality surged, and his figure flashed, but stayed in place and did not change his position.

My..."Mirror Flash" can't be used?

Zatwin realized something. He first looked at his left palm wearing the "Parasite" glove and found that the black glove had disappeared, revealing the light brown skin underneath. Then he looked back and was not surprised. He saw the glove appearing on the right hand of "Gehrman Sparrow" who was chasing him. He had just lowered his raised right hand, and the dim light of the glove had not completely faded away.

His "Mirror Flash" was stolen.

……

Putting down his gloved right hand, Angel was pleasantly surprised to find that he had successfully stolen the opponent's important ability to escape, "Mirror Flash".

Although she didn't know the specific potion sequence represented by this glove, before Klein used the "Fire" glove to steal the pollution in the "Puppet Master" characteristics, she also understood the usage and limitations of such items, and even more It was during the battle with the "King of the North" that he saw the use of "Dream Stealer" Mobet's abilities. So after putting on the magical item she picked up from the beach and leaving the opponent's hand on its own, she immediately used "Steal" on Zatvin in the distance, and with the help of her understanding of the enemy and some luck, she selected Find out what you need most.

In the next 2 hours, she can jump between any "mirrors" around her that can reflect her figure, just like using her own abilities. This ability is not as life-saving as the "mirror substitute", but it can be used at shorter intervals and longer distances, making it more helpful in combat.

As the "Sufferer", Zatwin will lose this ability within a maximum of 12 hours. Of course, the sequence level will affect the length of this time, but in any case, he has no chance to use "Mirror Flash" in this battle. .

Previously, the "Betrayal" Sealed Artifact Glove had taken away his ability to "Ghost Transformation", and now that he had lost the only way to escape through the mirror flash, Zatwin had no way to leave the beach quickly.

As if he had recognized his destiny, the demigod of the "Rose School" slowly turned around, with a serious expression on his thin cheeks and a firm gaze in his sunken eye sockets.

Since you can't escape, let this guy who overestimates his abilities pay the price...

What's more, he had already discovered that Reinette Tinichole floating in the sky and the "arbitrator" angel standing on the boat seemed to have no intention of stepping forward to help.

If I just deal with her alone, maybe I still have a chance of survival?
He found a glimmer of hope in despair.

In front of Zatwin, Angel returned to his original appearance, wearing less fitting clothes, holding a "good luck" pistol in one hand and a magma sword in the other. His figure disappeared instantly, and then he came to the opponent through "mirror jump" Behind him, he slashed with a sword.

Zatwin, who was well prepared, had muscles in his limbs soaring and his skin hardened. He used the power of a living corpse to block Angel's right hand holding the magma sword with one hand, letting the giant sword fly into the sky. He concentrated the power of corrosion with his other hand and punched At the same time, the strong cold air under the feet surged in all directions, immediately freezing the large and small puddles on the beach into hard ice.

Angel's body stagnated in the cold air, and she was immediately hit in the abdomen by Zatwin. The dark green poison immediately spread throughout her body, corroding her whole body into a black wooden stick less than 20 centimeters long.

Angel, who used his stand-in to avoid the blow, appeared from behind Zatwin, raised the "Good Luck" pistol with his left hand, aimed at the opponent's waist and abdomen at random, and was about to pull the trigger.

There is only one last bullet left in the revolver, the "disintegration ray". As long as it hits the opponent's body, the power of "disaster" can kill him instantly without aiming at the vital part.

In order to ensure the power, she even opened the hammer in advance to use the "lucky shot" to amplify the power of the bullet!
Aimed at by the black hole of the gun, Zatwin's spiritual sense reminded him like crazy. This "living zombie" demigod blocked Angel's left hand holding the revolver at a speed that even surprised him. At the same time, , he made an action that surprised Angel——

He took off the black glove on her right hand!
This is his real purpose, his real escape route!

After getting the black "Parasite" gloves, Zatwin did not hesitate at all. He stood and put the gloves back on his hands. This glove, which was designed to be used by both left and right hands, seemed to have lost the thought of "betrayal" at this moment. , it fits tightly against your own skin, and feels warm and moist, like another layer of human skin, completely different from the usual coldness.

completely different?

Zatwin's heart tightened, and he immediately used his own "Mirror Flash" stored in the "Parasite" glove, but found that nothing happened.

On the contrary, there are countless extraordinary abilities in his mind that can be used skillfully.

"Psychic piercing", "dirty words", "lava fireball", "distortion", "bribery"...

All kinds of strange and practical abilities flashed through his mind, except for the "mirror flash" he needed most.

The last thing that stayed in Zatwin's mind was a magical item that he remembered when he read the enemy's information before the battle.

"Creeping hunger..."

This Gehrman... no, Angelica Sage, she deliberately used her right hand to steal my abilities. In fact, she wore the "parasite" on her left hand and the "creeping hunger" that can disguise her appearance on her right hand. ?
Did she guess that I was going to steal the gloves and escape from here?

Thoughts passed through his mind one by one. Facing Angel's raised pistol, Zatwin, who had no ability to escape, opened his mouth and let out a desperate roar:

"..."

His last scream, which could pierce the eardrums and hurt the spirit body, was completely eliminated by the silent shouts from the blond head with red eyes that suddenly appeared next to him.

A ray of gray mixed with dark red light penetrated his chest at the same time, shot hundreds of meters away, and sank into the cliff wall like a slender sharp blade.

……

Looking at the demigod kneeling on the ground in front of him, his robe hanging on his body like a strip of cloth, and the only intact item on his body was the "Creeping Hunger" he had just snatched away, Angel breathed a sigh of relief. While feeling fortunate, he also felt a little sorry for him.

He suffered "betrayal" from the sealed objects one after another, kept holding on to himself and Klein because he needed to capture him alive, and missed the opportunity to escape due to various misfortunes. In the end, he was killed by himself under the watchful eyes of an angel and a demigod. Abandoned by his boss, he racked his brains to think of a way to escape but was deceived by himself...

Due to various unfavorable factors, this demigod fell under the damage of the "disintegration ray" without even exerting half of his strength.

Of course, I also paid a heavy price...

Looking at the "Good Luck" revolver on the ground that was already in a semi-melted state and slowly extracting extraordinary properties, Angel could not bear to feel sorry for his 3300 pounds and quickly took out containers containing various extraordinary materials from his pocket. , pulling them with invisible threads, wrapping them with spreading spirituality, floating and merging beside themselves, and finally being put into a glass vial.

There was no earth-shattering movement or dazzling light. These materials worth tens of thousands of pounds were fused together between Angel and Zatwin, forming a small bottle of liquid as red as blood.

This is the "Despair" potion.

Zatwin, who barely opened his eyes, stared blankly at this scene, feeling that his thoughts were getting stiffer and slower. The spot on his chest hit by the "disintegration ray" began to disintegrate into wisps of gray dust from the inside to the outside. , like a thousand-year-old corpse, being carried away by the breeze blowing from the sea to the beach.

"She...is taking magic potion?
"The angel and his giant ship didn't take action directly, and the traitor Reinette only provided necessary help. Was it because he had to fulfill a certain ritual, a ritual to be promoted to Sequence 4?
"I, no, the whole attack was just part of her ritual?"

As if he had guessed something, Zatwin's eyes became more desperate, but the disintegration state had spread to his chest and abdomen. Without any strength in his limbs, he could only watch Angel take the prepared potion and bring it to his mouth. , raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

No, I'm not desperate at all...

Trying his best to convince himself, Zatwin closed his eyes in cold despair.
