Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 71·I am just a revenge witch
"what happened?"

In the camp outside Erezia, all the refugees stared blankly at the city not far away. Black flames were burning in the center of the ruined city. Even the houses they rebuilt began to spontaneously combust under the scorching heat.

"Look, what is that?"

At this time, a girl pointed to the sky, her eyes full of fear and panic. She saw a half-human, half-dragon monster fighting with a girl wielding a giant flaming sword. The black flames were easily torn apart by its sharp claws, and it was ferocious. A flash of ice-blue light lit up in his huge mouth.

"Roar!"

Amidst the high-pitched roar of the dragon, ice-blue breath swept across the entire sky. Everything in the path of the breath was frozen. In the end, the breath cut through the sky, penetrated the magic barrier, and directly hit a mountain.

In an instant, the entire mountain peak turned into an icy blue, and the mountains, trees, and rivers all froze into a whole.

Click!

Immediately afterwards, a sound like breaking glass rang in everyone's ears, and they saw cracks appearing on the barrier covering the city, and finally exploded directly, and the flames trapped inside instantly destroyed the entire city like a giant wave. Cities flooded.

"Our home is gone."

The girl watched the cities disappearing and dissolving little by little in the flames, and the houses they worked so hard to build collapsed and turned into ashes in the flames.

"Run away!"

At this time, the voice of an old man woke up the stunned people. After they reacted, they quickly turned around and fled away. However, some old people just stood there and silently looked at the people leaving, with a smile on their lips. Watching the flames approaching.

They no longer have the desire to continue fleeing. They had fled their hometowns due to war, famine, and natural disasters, and had already lost all their relatives, and now their last hope has disappeared.

"Grandpa Lake, what are you doing!?"

Suddenly, a large number of people rushed out from the city. Among them, a middle-aged man running at the front looked at the many elderly people who were staying in the same place, and quickly ran over and asked anxiously.

"It's Little Caesar. I didn't expect you to be alive, so run away quickly and don't worry about us old guys."

The old man named Lake looked at the anxious Caesar in front of him and smiled softly. He originally thought that Caesar and the others who were rebuilding the city had died in the previous flames. Unexpectedly, they survived, which was considered good news. Bar.

At least, with these young and strong men, everyone has a greater hope of survival.

"Stop talking about this, Grandpa Lake, please come with us."

As he said that, a middle-aged man named Caesar squatted in front of him and motioned for him to climb up and carry them on his back to escape. The other teenagers on the side also ran over and wanted to take these old people away.

"Caesar, listen to me, you guys, leave quickly. We old guys have decided to die here. At least this can be regarded as our home."

The old man named Lake looked at the many teenagers in front of him who wanted to take them away. He turned back and looked at the many old guys beside him. They all rejected the option of escaping. They no longer had the power to escape. If they were allowed to Taking these young people with them will only become a burden.

Maybe in the end, everyone has to die here and they are already tired of this feeling of fleeing everywhere. At the last moment of their lives, at least they prefer to choose to die in this place that they regard as their home.

"Grandpa Lake."

Caesar raised his head, and tears couldn't help streaming down his originally strong face. He looked at the kind old man in front of him with blurred eyes. Finally, Caesar raised his hand to wipe away his tears, stood up, and solemnly said goodbye to the old people in front of him. People left. "What a good group of kids."

"Yes."

A group of old people looked at Caesar and the others with kind smiles as they left. At the last moment of their lives, they chose to send their most sincere blessings to their new family members and live well.

A few minutes later, the wave of flames spread to the front of the camp, and the sounds of fighting in the city gradually disappeared. The entire city had completely turned into a sea of ​​black flames.

Whoa!
Suddenly, under the surprised gazes of the old people, the flames that were about to touch them stopped, and then began to twist continuously. Finally, a tall figure walked out of the flames. The black battle skirt was covered with blood stains and dense scars. Covered in that white and tender skin, the pale and delicate face is like an iceberg that has not faded for thousands of years.

"Aren't you running away?"

Nina slightly raised her head and looked at the group of old people in front of her. It was Nina's intention to successfully escape the refugees from the city during the previous battle, but she didn't expect to kill Erizia, Theros and the city guards. After everyone, there are still people staying here.

"Where else can I escape to?"

Lake looked at the girl in front of him with a smile on his face. He was not afraid at all because of Nina's appearance at this time. He just spoke his thoughts calmly.

"."

Nina looked at the old man in front of her silently, and didn't say anything more. She just turned around and looked at the burning city behind her. She knew that her revenge had destroyed the last hope of these people, but Nina had no regrets in her heart.

She will not explain to these people that even if they successfully build the city, they will only face a more desperate hell in the end, and she will not think that she has saved them, nor will she use this kind of thing as an excuse.

Because, Nina clearly knew that if she had not come, at least after the city was rebuilt, these people would have a home and live happily for at least several decades.

But, so what?
She is a witch who only lives for revenge. Her anger, her despair, her hatred, her soul and body have all turned into the flames of revenge. For revenge, she has abandoned everything. She does not mind the destruction blocking the road of revenge. everything ahead.

"What a pathetic child."

Lake looked at Nina standing in the center of the flames. The aura of loneliness, hatred, and anger made him unable to help but feel sad, because Lake had seen this scene too many times, including the middle-aged man who had knelt down next to the corpse during his escape. A man, a crying child holding his mother's body, an old man committing suicide in despair
Everyone is so similar to the current Nina at the moment of death. That is the back view that only exists after losing everything.

"I'm just a witch of revenge."

In the flames, Nina slowly turned her head and looked at the old people. The black flames turned into waves and drowned them instantly. Lake did not feel any pain in the flames, but was filled with warmth. The flames in front of him began to twist, as if watching When he arrived, his dead family members were looking at him with a smile.

"Thank you."

"."

After it completely disappeared, only the dark and desolate land was left. After Nina took a slight look at the location of the old people before, it was even more cruel for them to live in this world called the human world, which was actually hell.

Afterwards, Nina turned around and left here. The battle just now had pushed her body to its limit, and now she had to find a place to recuperate.
