Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 574 Demigod and Half Man (End of this volume)

In the spiritual world, a huge black warship was floating in a colorful and twisted scene.

There were no common creatures in the spirit world around it. Perhaps they were disturbed by the previous battle, or perhaps the momentum of the battleship prevented them from approaching. Angel looked around through the portholes and felt that the spirit world was as quiet as a cemetery.

After closing the cover on the circular porthole, Angel looked back at the interior of the cabin. Klein, who had changed back into his own clothes, was watching her quietly.

"How does it feel after being promoted?"

Seeing her turn around, Klein asked, his tone not expressing a search for a new "demigod", but a deep concern for his lover.

"Everything went smoothly, at least I didn't lose control, didn't turn into a monster, and didn't forget who I was..."

Angel joked, trying to lighten the mood, and was stunned for a moment when he said the last sentence.

Worried that the keen Klein would notice something, she immediately changed the subject and talked about her gains after being promoted.

After being promoted from "pain" to "despair", Angel not only received several times of spiritual improvement, but also made great progress in various previous abilities.

She thought of creatures she had seen in mythical stories from her previous life.

"They all guessed that I was preparing for promotion. So, where is the 'Sea King' who arrived last?"

Just like what she discovered when she faced "Lady Despair" Panatia, she also has the ability to use her eyes as her own magic mirror and use a "mirror stand-in". In addition, some simple divination can also be completed directly through her eyes. A mirror needs to be whipped out and a full divination ritual performed.

Compared with all previous sequences, the most important improvement of Sequence 4 is the acquisition of "divinity".

Whether it is "Frost Control", "Cursed Black Flame" or "Invisible Thread", the range of influence can spread to a distance of about 500 meters. Compared with Sequence 5, it cannot be said to be several times higher. It is a complete "plus zero" improvement. .

Of course, the world in the mirror is no different from the spiritual world that Angel is already familiar with. It is a unique space opened up in the spiritual world similar to the underworld. This reminds her of Mr. Fool’s reminder a long time ago:

By mastering the "mirror world", she can travel between different mirrors and travel to distant places faster and safer than in the real world, just like traveling in the spirit world.

And with the help of the world in the mirror, her black flames and various curses and diseases can be directly cast on the target whose body is reflected. This does not even matter the distance. As long as there is enough preparation time, Angel can even be in Backlund. Curse the target in Trier directly, or make them seriously ill.

Although compared to angels and beings above the sequence, Sequence 4 has only gained a trace of her own divinity, but this is enough for her to take a big step forward. In terms of the form of existence and the source of power, she is the same as before. There is a fundamental difference.

"Fortunately, Zatwin did not try to 'die together' in this way until the end... This is why Anne and Reinette did not participate in the battle. They did not want to push the enemy too close and force him to do what he did in desperation. Make similar moves?

What surprised Angel was that the Witch of Despair used mirrors for much more than that.

This means she has an almost infinite number of "mirror doubles".

Angel suddenly felt that his "worth" might skyrocket again.

Fortunately, by becoming a demigod, I can be worthy of that "status"... She smiled self-deprecatingly and continued to introduce her new abilities to Klein.

"Medusa?"

Of course, having just fought against a "Rose School" demigod, she knew that many of the twenty-two extraordinary paths could restrain her abilities, and the quantitative changes alone were not enough to call her a demigod.

As for the "god" part, Angel already knows that all witches should be the same, and will get closer and closer to that essence on the way to promotion...

Based on this ray of divinity in their bodies, demigods can reveal incomplete "mythical creature forms" while approaching madness on their own and risk losing control at any time, causing devastating damage to everything they come into contact with. Divine creatures who look directly at this form will be harmed to varying degrees, including physical collapse, mental madness, and even spiritual pollution.

This is the origin of the title "demigod". At this point, extraordinary people are no longer purely "human", but "demigods".

Of course, here, it must have another name, and it no longer even exists in the world, but the appearance of "Gorgon" is still quite recognizable.

The same is true on the other hand, if a demigod cannot restrain his madness and is on the verge of losing control, it is usually difficult to maintain his normal form and will inevitably approach the incomplete form of a mythical creature. This process is usually difficult to reverse, and the outcome is nothing more than madness or madness. die.

"Be careful of the world through the looking glass."

She decided to try exploring there once she was fully prepared.

As for other changes in abilities that work with the mirror, she still needs to continue to explore and combine different abilities to cooperate and strengthen each other.

In addition to the extraordinary ability of "Despair" itself, Angel's biggest improvement after her promotion is still her exclusive "Disaster" attack.

The increase in spiritual power means that the number of "Disaster" and "Betrayal" spells that can be used has also increased accordingly. Now, she can use five spells in a battle without her spiritual power being exhausted. For an attack that can kill a demigod as long as it hits, this is already a terrifying increase.

Of course, after feeling the connection between the lines on his body and the "disaster" during the promotion process, Angel became more scrupulous about using this power. He was worried that the price of this extra power had already been secretly marked, but it was just It’s not time to repay yet.

"Using the various ability combinations of the mirror, other abilities that have been strengthened again, and that ray of divinity, is this the 'Despair' witch of Sequence 4..."

After listening to Angel's explanation, Klein felt a little emotional. On the one hand, he felt that "there seems to be no fundamental change", but rationally told himself that after such an improvement, the battle between Sequence 4 and Sequence 5 would be completely one-sided. .

Unless fighting with the blessing of angels and the help of demigods like today, Sequence 5 has absolutely no chance of defeating Sequence 4.

"Of course it's more than that. You didn't notice me..."

Angel smiled happily and moved closer to Klein, fully displaying his appearance and charm that were once again enhanced by the magic potion, and successfully captured the long-lost surprise and dodge in the other person's eyes.

"...Did you secretly hide something else?"

She paused and took out the right hand she had hidden behind her back.

There are two cards between his fingers that have become more delicate.

"At the moment of promotion, I once again entered the ruined city in the apocalypse. Because I had stronger spirituality, I successfully got the two 'blasphemous cards'..." She held one in each hand and put the two The card with Russell Gustav's picture on it was shown to Klein.

"Witch", and "Red Priest".

----

Under the shining sun, the "Blue Avenger" returned to the Blue Mountain Island where Bayam was located.

After completing another investigation mission assigned by the church, "The Hanged Man" Alger Wilson stopped by Bansi to see the current situation at the port. This made his return to Bayam a full day late to report on his duties.

Of course, this all makes sense, to avoid the wind and waves, to take a slight detour, as long as the excuse is reasonable and does not delay the church's mission, no one will be held responsible for this day's delay.

What's more, the sailors of the "Blue Avenger" are also curious about what happened to the port that was completely destroyed by the Church of Storms, and what it has become now.

"It's a pity that there are nothing but ruins there. There are no adventures I expected, not even a living person... I remember that there used to be thousands of permanent residents there, and there was also a Church of Storms..."

Alger stood at the bow of the boat, muttering to himself.

"Blue Avenger" adjusted its sails on its own and rounded a headland. Bayam's port was within easy reach.

But he suddenly discovered that there was a low dark cloud on the mountain near the city. It clung to the cliff, almost covering it, with electric light surging inside and thunder rolling.

Under the thunderclouds, the originally lush woods had completely dried up, and heavily armed punishers spread out to clean the grass.

Almost half of the cliff near the sea collapsed. The cliff seemed to have been bombarded by hundreds of large-caliber artillery. Craters were formed one after another, and gravel fell from time to time into the sea.

On the beach below, heavily armed soldiers were conducting a blanket search. In the sea area that was barely stranded, there was a huge ship with a shiny metallic luster docked. It had no sails, only a tall iron chimney and a huge ship. turret.

That was the only ironclad ship in service in the Kingdom of Loen, the "Plitz".

Alger squinted his eyes and scanned the cliff where various forces gathered, and finally his eyes rested on the dark clouds high above.

He suspected that it was made by the Archbishop of the Rhostead Islands, "Sea King" Yan Coatman.

Even if that person is not present, he must be paying attention to this place at all times...

With his eyes twitching, Alger decisively ordered the Blue Avenger to turn around and dock at another private port.

Although I don't know what happened, I can't get into trouble with Mr. Yan Cotman... He thought, and ordered the sailors to disband after docking at the port, and he immediately took a small road and rushed back to Baia. In the city of Mu, I changed into a priest's uniform and came to the "Waves Church", where I met the hurried-looking Bishop Chogori.

The gray-haired old man was not as energetic as he was the last time he saw him. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were much deeper, his complexion was also a lot yellower, and his face was full of exhaustion.

"Alger, you came just in time," he quickly ordered without even bothering to say hello, "Where is your ship? Leave the port immediately and go to the sea area north of the city to assist His Excellency 'Sea King'."

I just docked, and the sailors didn't even have time to have lunch... Alger suppressed his dissatisfaction, hammered his left chest with his right fist and agreed, and then asked in a low voice:
"Your Excellency K2, may I ask what happened there?"

"Just this morning, a large-scale battle involving the 'Rose School' took place on the outskirts of Bayam City. It is said that high-sequence Beyonders were involved. His Excellency 'Sea King' gave a strong counterattack, protected Bayam City, and repulsed We killed them without causing any civilian casualties. However, the area was still devastated. Your mission is to help search for any useful clues and report them to His Excellency, Sea King, and me."

"...Yes, Lord K2!"

Alger did not hide his surprise and astonishment, but he also did not forget basic etiquette.

Seeing his correct attitude, Bishop Chogori nodded with satisfaction, and the tired look on his face was replaced by a smile. He paused as if remembering something, and added:
"By the way, there are two wanted criminals. Please pay attention. According to the information sent back by the punisher present, Mr. Cotterman has confirmed that they are all involved in this battle." He took out two obvious pictures from the desk behind him. It was a document that was circulated internally and had not yet been formally wanted. He handed it to Alger, "That woman is suspected to be a high-sequence extraordinary person and is very dangerous. Once you find her, stay away immediately and report as soon as possible!"

High sequence, demigod... Alger raised his eyebrows, took the file, and looked down.

The portrait on the first wanted poster was very familiar to him.

Gehrman Sparrow... isn't he "The World"? Although this guy is ruthless and doesn't talk much, he pays great attention to his image and only kills pirates on wanted posters... Why is he also wanted this time, and the price is as high as 45000 pounds? This is completely the level of a pirate general, the highest level...

He is somewhat different from other members of the Tarot Society. Mr. Fool often asks him to complete special tasks. Could it be that... the sabotage operation of the "Rose School" alarmed Mr. Fool?
He thought as he turned to the next page.

Angelica Sage, Miss "Queen", due to various strange misunderstandings and coincidences, her reward has reached 23000 pounds. This time...

Alger suddenly froze, his eyes resting on the last paragraph of the document where the ink was still wet.

"...It is suspected that he killed a high-sequence Extraordinary in the battle with the 'Rose School' and the 'Blood Admiral'. His strength is estimated to have reached the pirate king level, and he is related to a powerful ghost ship. It is recommended to increase The threat level and wanted amount are tentatively set at..."

"Fifty thousand pounds?"

He couldn't help but asked aloud.

"The 10 pounds is because her threat is at the same level as the 'Immortal King' Agaritu," Chogori replied. "In addition, you have to remember that she is also suspected of murdering the church's bishop and robbing important items belonging to the church. thing."

The important item is the characteristic of the "Wind Blessed One"?
Alger suddenly felt that the "Ocean Singer" trait he bought from Miss "Queen" was a bit hot.

You won’t be involved with the bounty anytime, right?

Not noticing the other party's hesitation, Bishop Chogori chuckled and said with emotion:
"The first time I saw her wanted poster was only four months ago. I didn't expect that she would become a high-sequence Beyonder in such a short period of time...

"If she were not a wanted criminal, her experience would surely become a legend."

No, whether she is a wanted criminal or not, she is already a legend. At least before July last year, Miss "Queen" was just a low-sequence Beyonder... Alger's eyes stayed on the document in his hand for a long time, and his heart was filled with turmoil. .

The first demigod of the "Tarot Club" has appeared!
