Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 711 Something is Wrong
Compared to the silent Anne, the surviving pirates on other pirate ships were already in a state of excitement.

They found that the black clouds that seemed to be pressing down on the sea above their heads gradually dissipated, revealing normal gray-white fog and the hazy outline of the sun behind; it was as if endless zombies and ghosts had lost their lives again, or fell to the ground, or turned into nothingness; something that oppressed their spirits and bodies, something that drove people crazy even at a distance of thousands of meters, finally disappeared, and the companions around them were no longer hateful or mouth-watering.

ended?
This thought popped up in everyone's mind.

The cabin they left was not safe, but at least it gave them some psychological comfort. Standing on the deck, looking at the dock that looked like hell, their eyes swept over the dead and grotesque corpses, the ships that were only one in ten left, and the survivors on them who were as confused as themselves, they felt that today's pirate conference was a nightmare that they had not yet woken up from.

As for those companions who did not leave the cabin, no one dared to think about what had become of them.

Compared to the pirates who could only tremble in fear outside the aura of the "divine evil", the situation of several pirate general flagships with a certain self-protection ability was better, but there was only one thing. With the extraordinary people as the backbone, they were enough to resist the zombies, werewolves and ghosts awakened by Sua, but there were still many people who were disfigured by the previous crazy aura and the uncontrollable black rain.

The "Future", surrounded by the "Golden Dream", "News", the new "Black Death" and other ships, was the most intact. The starlight covering the entire hull blocked the black rain and weakened the influence of the "Divine Evil". In addition, it had just picked up several pirate generals and quickly sailed away, so the loss was not great.

But after this battle, many pirate groups were already dead in name only, and even the bounties were not claimed because the bodies could not be identified...

"Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya looked around silently, and finally her eyes stopped at the place where the "divine evil" Sua sank into the sea.

At the end of the battle just now, she saw the scene where Miss "Queen" and the three giant hands died together through the thick-framed glasses that could block some pollution.

In Cattleya's opinion, a demigod who had just been promoted to Sequence 4 would not be able to survive no matter what means were used when being held in the palm of a giant black hand that was clearly an angel or even more powerful.

Instead, it was the sudden appearance of destructive force that made her confused.

“Queen”, just died like that?
"She just died like that?"

Next to Cattleya, Vice Admiral Disease Tracy slowly walked to the side of the ship, stared blankly at the location of the Queen Anne's Revenge, and muttered.

"Shouldn't you be happy? I heard you had a lot of conflicts with her."

After looking at this witch who didn't have a good reputation normally but had assisted each other in the previous escape and even rescued several pirate generals, Cattleya asked back.

It was no secret in the circle that Vice Admiral Disease and Angelica, who was previously just a powerful adventurer and now the "Golden Queen", were competing for the heart of a red-haired lady. There might be some exaggeration in it, but Cattleya felt that at least half of it was true.

The other half of the reason was that the expression on Tracy's face now was not joy, but loneliness.

----

The thick black and a hint of crimson disappeared, and Angel's sight revealed the blue sky, green grass, tall city walls, and people constantly entering and leaving the city gates.

After looking around for a while, she finally confirmed that she had come to the world in "Groselle's Travels", the city that appeared in the "Frost Kingdom" after she and some companions defeated the "King of the North".

It's already summer here... She sighed and began to check her physical condition.

All the limbs were still there, with no missing or extra fingers, and the magical items, except for a "disaster" charm that was rejected here and the tin dolls that were scattered and turned into soldiers, were all in their original places.

The spiritual power loss is very large, which should be caused by the "petrification" spell. The talisman made using the new method almost exhausted the spiritual power with one spell. This is not even a Sequence 3 power. It must be a power that can only be possessed by Sequence 2 and above. It was "given" to me in advance...

After some confirmation, Angel breathed a sigh of relief.

At the end of the battle just now, she was surrounded by three giant hands of the "divine evil" Suea. When she was about to use the mirror substitute again to avoid them, the gray fog that appeared in front of her and the information it contained belonging to Klein made her make the final decision:
Use the "petrification" spell to severely injure Sua and escape in the simplest and safest way.

That’s right. She used the same method she used to escape when she was chased by the demigod of the Rose School after leaving Bayam. Klein smeared her blood on the cover of Groselle’s Travels and used the negative effects of this magical item to bring her into the illusory world in the book.

The last image that remained in her eyes was a gigantic black hand with countless eyes, mouths and skulls on its surface, a sticky black liquid with a hint of crimson in it, and Siana's desperate roar.

Finally, before Angel "left", they had been turned into gray-white stones by the activated "petrification" spell.

If I had been sucked into the world in the book a second later, I would probably have been turned into a stone statue... This talisman is much more powerful than "Disaster", and its killing range is not limited to the objects it touches. It is similar to the mysterious "petrification" power that Klein, the Hanged Man, and I encountered on the nameless island, but the effect is stronger and faster... Fortunately, the plan worked. Even if the "God's Evil" was not seriously injured, it could not defeat Anne, whose strength was intact. It could only enter the spirit world and leave like last time... Thinking of this, Angel's tense mouth finally curled up, and his heartbeat, which had accelerated due to nervousness, slowly returned to normal.

But why do the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the "Rose School" that believes in it set traps to catch me again and again? Judging from Suea's actions, they must capture me alive... I seemed to be able to hear the desperate roar of this "evil god" because of my escape in the world of the book, not to mention the feedback from a large part of the "despair" potion. It seems that making the high-ranking people feel despair, even if only a little, is of great benefit to the role-playing... She muttered, and walked against the flow of people entering the city towards the illusory gate leaving "Groselle's Travels".

Although there was no "substantial" gain from this battle, Angel had digested the potion to a considerable extent, and the role-playing rules he summarized also included "give hope first, then make them despair."

The most important thing is that when Angel activated the "petrification" spell, her body was tightly grasped by three giant hands. This allowed her, under the protection of Annie's contract and after the "Harvester Legion" shared the power, not only did she not suffer too much damage, but she also got a glimpse of some knowledge that escaped from the mythical creature form of the "divine evil".

"Divine Evil" is Sequence 1 of the "Prisoner" pathway, while "Ancient Evil" is Sequence 2...

Their Sequence 0, the True God, is the "Bound One"...

The "Bound God" is also a "divine evil", which means that no true God has appeared on this path yet... Then, the identity of the "Mother Tree of Desire" is very suspicious. Is He a god from another path who controls or replaces the "Bound God" to gain control of the "Rose School"?
According to the description of some abilities of the "Ancient Evil", the headless messenger Renette Tinicole was probably in this sequence during her lifetime. She, no, He was actually an angel...

Finally, this path has mastered the ability of curse and transformation since the high sequence... No wonder my cursed black flame, after being strengthened by the "Reaper Legion", is ineffective against the "divine evil" that only has partial power and is at most Sequence 2...

Of course, compared to the "Abyss" path where even fire is ineffective, Sua has at least some weaknesses...

Reviewing these fragments of knowledge she had gained from witnessing the mythical creatures, which were not organized but made her think deeply, Angel came to the double door that led to leaving the world in the book.

This door could only be seen by her, Klein, Edwina, Danitz, and others who had "passed" the script. Other passers-by walked and stopped, or even passed through the door, but they had no sense of it.

"If we go out now, we should end up in Backlund, next to Klein."

She muttered, pressing her hands on both sides of the double door, her eyes fixed on the drooping icicles on the top of the door frame that did not match the current environment.

The last time she opened the door so solemnly, she was greeted by the death of Siatas and Mobet hugging each other, Groselle's nostalgia for his hometown, Longzel's regret, and Snowman's prayer.

wrong……

Doubts slowly rose in her heart, and her fingertips stopped a few centimeters away from the door.

This time, it was a bit too smooth...

Last time, the "Rose School" set an ambush outside the city of Bayam. Even though Klein and I exchanged identities and used the "betrayal" spell to destroy the "Tree of Flesh and Blood", severely damaging the demigod Zatwin and the "Admiral of Blood", we eventually managed to successfully summon some of the power of the "Evil God" Sua. If it weren't for the unexpected factor of Annie, their plan might have succeeded.

This time, Annie was present, and the sea kings also had some power to fight against the angels. According to the worst speculation, the "Rose School" might even have guessed the effect of "Groselle's Travels". Everything was on the table. The "divine evil" Sua still responded to the bloody sacrificial ceremony, transmitting power through the air, trying to capture me under Annie's protection...

The outstretched hands stayed in the air for a moment and then retracted. Angel frowned and looked down at his body.

If the ritual was just a cover, and the attack was just a cover, the "Mother Tree of Desire" knew that the "Divine Evil" was outnumbered, but still launched the attack...

...Just let me go back to Klein?
Thinking of this, Angel immediately took a few steps back, away from the door that could leave the world in the book, and swept his eyes over the white arms, the secret emblem on the wrist, and the sword and shield scale-shaped mark, and finally made up his mind.

"A fool who does not belong to this era...

"I pray for your attention, for your help..."

As soon as the prayer stopped, a scene appeared in her mind.

He stood beside the noisy street, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and prayed, his long blond hair, which had not been changed by the "Faceless Man", draped behind his back, his purple eyes slightly closed, and his lips tightly pursed, just like usual.

The only difference was that there was a wisp of deep red aura floating around this figure.
