Arad's Sword

Chapter 34 The Witch and the Queen

"How could this happen!" Even Midi was caught off guard.

If Fina's attack is overwhelming fire suppression, then Alice's attack is as complicated and profound as a maze.However, the maze can only trap the enemy, but cannot directly destroy the enemy. Therefore, under the intricate attack constructed by Alice with countless weird summoned beasts, there must be a deadly killing move hidden.

"After the perfect layout is the fatal blow." This is another famous saying of Alice.

During this battle, Midi certainly kept this sentence in mind all the time, and was always ready to deal with it.

However, according to the Witch of the Mist's usual character of being afraid of trouble, she will definitely attack the weak point first to seek a breakthrough. In other words, even if she is captured, it should be Sigmund or Lilian.

But now, this was obviously a trap set for Fina.

The heart of a woman, the needle of the sea, even if she has the rebirth memory of the previous life, Midi still failed to predict.No, if you don't predict and don't fall into a fixed mindset, you might be able to see the real situation clearly.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

"Miss Fina is gone, she's gone! What should we do? What should we do?" Sigmund, who was usually calm, also panicked, and Lilian showed even more panic.

As Fina's loyal followers, they have already regarded the red-haired girl's victorious victories as a habit, something that is taken for granted. Now they suddenly found that Fina had been tricked, and she didn't even resist for a moment. Being looted, the psychological gap is naturally even greater.

It's like the sun rises every day, but one morning, when you open your eyes and find that there is no sunrise, what kind of mood will it be?
It is by no means a simple concept of "losing", but the feeling that the most basic cognition and world view have been subverted.

In fact, people with average psychological qualities might have fallen into hysteria by now.But at least, the two are still trying their best to deal with the swarming summoned beasts.

"Steady!" Midi's calm voice sounded on the battlefield at a critical moment.

The black-haired boy exploded with huge power in an instant regardless of consumption. The lightsaber in his right hand swept back and forth, bringing up sharp winds, and the ghosts and magic power in his left hand gushed out, raising one after another burning ghost formations, and finally filled the space. Caught the gap created by Fina's disappearance.

And after this onslaught, Midi finally breathed a sigh of relief—as a commander with a keen sense, he has already discovered that the summoned beasts are retreating intentionally, and the behavior of the group of cat monsters coming from a distance also seems a bit strange. Disorderly, it was obvious that the Witch of the Mist had left without a sound.

Although Alice didn't show up in this fierce and abrupt battle from the beginning to the end, at this moment, Midi really clearly felt the difference between her presence and absence.

Probably Alice has figured it out too. If they really want to launch a frontal offensive, the troops in front of them can't take down Midi, who has dual professions in Sword Soul and Devil May Cry, and has a left-handed ghost and a right-handed lightsaber. retreat.

After achieving the goal of catching Fina, he retreated.

There are about [-] remaining cat demons, although the number is not small, but if they want to break through, it will not be difficult for Midi and his party.

"What should I do next?" Sigmund's voice came from the side.

"It's still the same sentence, stabilize first, then try to break out, find a hidden place to rest first, and then follow the traces of magic power, and continue to chase." Midi replied without thinking, "You will always find the witch's mansion. , Fina must be there too."

"How will we attack when we get there?" Lilian asked, the weakening of the summoned beast's offensive made the freckled girl gradually calm down.

"We'll talk when we get there." Midi replied with a deep sigh.

That's the only way I can answer.

As for Fina's safety, Midi was of course also worried, but not particularly worried.

If the Witch of the Mist wanted to kill, the scuffle just now was the best time. Since Alice didn't do that, it meant that she didn't want to kill Fina.

But what kind of treatment Fina will receive, Midi can't say for sure.

In the previous life, during the nearly 15 years that the three of them spent together, although Fina and Alice were lifelong friends, there were definitely many frictions, quarrels, fights, and even wars between them, and sometimes even Even Midi can't get in. Of course, Midi himself is the fuse in many cases.

As for this life, what kind of sparks will be created after Fina and Alice meet under such circumstances, Midi no longer wants to speculate, and has no ability to speculate.

The only way is to take advantage of Alice's suppression of Fina and find the Witch's Mansion as soon as possible.

"Speed ​​up!" Midi snorted, and shuttled through the forest at a very high speed, and the other two hurriedly followed, and returned to the silent night. The three people walking forward seemed like three gray lines. shadow.

Endless and deep darkness enveloped the girl, like a warm ocean.

It seems like a good choice to keep sleeping like this, right?However, from the mind, the fragments of memories kept emerging - fierce battles, strange enemies, companions who fought hard, and... that black-haired black eyes, hidden many secrets, but the eyes are so gentle that people can't feel it Guy who can't get angry.

Involuntarily, a blush appeared on the fair face of the red-haired girl, and a sweet smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.

That's right, it's not okay to stop in such a place, thinking so, Fina stood up.

However, this is not for the brunette, but for himself.

Fina has always been free and unrestrained, neither will she depend on nor look forward to, but she wants to move forward without hesitation just because she wants to embrace this colorful world again.

In the endless and deep darkness, Fina took a step, so the darkness disappeared, and the light reappeared.

The girl woke up from her dream.

The soft bedding, the expensive crystal lamp, the bluish-white moonlight that sifted through the half-open French windows, and the little bits of stardust made Fina blink her eyes involuntarily.And the next moment, Fina couldn't help but gasped with staring eyes.

The reason why Fina was surprised was because there was actually a person sitting beside her bed.

A girl with black hair and black clothes.

There was silence in the room, and Fina peeked at the girl beside her while maintaining a lying position.Although I really want to prop up my upper body, but if they are facing each other head-on, I'm afraid they won't be able to observe each other like this.

The girl has a head of pure black long hair like the night sky, slender limbs, and fair skin like porcelain. Even Fina, who has a very high vision, has to admit that she is as beautiful as a scroll of poetry.If she didn't make a sound, she might be mistaken for a beautiful work of art doll.

In fact, the black-haired girl did not speak. She closed her eyes and sat on the chair like that, as if she had fallen asleep.

However, Fina clearly felt the huge magical power contained in that petite and fragile body.

Not only that, but the breath of magic was exactly the same as what she felt at the moment when she finally lost consciousness.

In other words, if, as Midi deduced during the battle, it was the Witch of the Mist who made the move herself, then it was the one in front of her.

The owner of a forest the size of an earldom, the master of the demon veins, the object of the elves' obedience, is such a girl who is about the same age as him?
Fina felt a little curious for a moment, and couldn't help but want to take a closer look at the girl. Although she knew that the situation was not very good now, and it would be rude to peek at the other person's side face, but curiosity overcame everything.

But at this moment, the black-clothed, black-haired girl opened her eyes, and those icy pupils met Fina's eyes.

"Huh?" Fina's heart skipped a beat.

The black-haired girl didn't fall asleep at all, but stared blankly at the prisoner on the bed. Fina, who was lying on the bed, had no time to turn her head back, and couldn't think of a line to say, so she could only talk to the girl wordlessly. The four eyes are facing each other.

On the other hand, the black-haired girl didn't seem to care about this silent staring at all.

However, the stalemate cannot last forever after all, and her reluctance to admit defeat and her proactive character made Fina determined to take the first step.

"You are Alice? Otropos, the one known as the Witch of the Mist." Fina cleared her throat and sat up from the bed, "I am Fina..."

"I just want to know why you at level 24 can show a combat power above level 30, so I brought you back." Alice interrupted Fina's self-introduction in a nonchalant tone, and then added He said, "As for your name, I'm not interested in knowing it because you are too weak."

Fina was stunned for a moment.

too weak?
too weak.

too weak!
The red-haired girl thought for a moment that she was hallucinating.

In the 17 years since she was born, she has been crowned with various titles - Iron Maiden, Princess of Destruction, Queen of Storms, and so on.There will probably be more titles in the future.All those who have confronted her, no matter whether they are enemies or friends, whether they are admiration, respect, hatred, jealousy, or peeping at her beauty, none of them can ignore her.

In fact, gathering so many eyes is the best proof of Fina's strength.

But now, in this small room, this girl who looks about the same age as him, actually said that he was "too weak"?
Can this be tolerated?
Of course this cannot be tolerated.

This is absolutely unbearable!

After the initial shock, when Fina finally realized clearly that "weak" refers to herself, the red-haired girl's body received an order—anger.So she lifted the quilt and stood in front of Alice in a majestic manner. At the same time, she stretched out the fingers of her right hand in a shooting gesture.

But in the next moment, Fina's empty and tired body, as well as her unresponsive will, made Fina instantly recognize her situation.

She was sealed, unable to mobilize even a little magic power.

"Hehe..." Alice covered her mouth and chuckled, and didn't say anything more, but that playful look had already explained everything.

"Wow, this little hottie, you're going to lose your face when you come up? What's the point of making trouble with your little ability? Be obedient and sell your beauty, maybe you can escape a small life. Now you are still playing provocation, this IQ , It’s hopeless, it’s really hopeless!” A charcoal-like crow sneaked in from the gap in the floor-to-ceiling window at some point, and then taunted Fina, who was still in a stiff shooting posture after the misfiring. .

Fina was about to go mad with anger for a moment.

But at the same time, she completely calmed down.

The future Queen of Magic Bullets is proud and confident, and will not admit defeat.However, she is by no means a person who refuses to admit defeat or face reality.

Stand up from failure, and then move on, this is the attitude that the strong should have.

Therefore, after the initial curiosity, surprise, and impulsiveness, she immediately discovered the disparity in strength.

There's no way, Fina doesn't even know how she was defeated. During a face-to-face meeting, the most proud and smoothest magic bullet was bounced back, and then her magic power was sealed by the way, and then she fell into a coma and lay down. bed.This result can only be called a complete failure.

Just like Midi said, the Witch of the Mist is really tricky.

"Okay, what do you want me to do?" After recognizing the current situation, Fina put down her hand and asked straightforwardly.

"It's nothing, just stop struggling in vain." Alice stood up, turned and walked towards the door of the room, "I'm going to deal with your companions first, they are chasing quite fast. During this time, you'd better be quiet and stay in this room. It is very dangerous to walk around in the mansion without magic power, this is my advice."

"Master is kind-hearted, spare your life, remember to be grateful and in awe, young man." The crow followed Alice, and also walked out of the door in a pitiful manner. Before going out, there was such a long wait Meaningful words, with deep pity and sympathy in his eyes.

Fina, who had just calmed down, almost lost control. The red-haired girl stared angrily at the half-closed door, and finally suppressed the urge to throw the chair over, and sat down on the bed angrily.

When you recover, you must peel that crow alive and set it on fire to roast!
Fina gritted her teeth as she thought, and quickly entered a state of meditation.

The anger disappeared, the irritability calmed down, the red-haired girl no longer paid attention to the outcome, and began to call out the imprisoned magic power in her body wholeheartedly, time and time again, tirelessly, never stopping.

She knew that Midi would definitely come.

But she will never wait for the arrival of the prince like Sleeping Beauty or Snow White, even if the black-haired prince is someone she cares about and agrees with very much.

Because, in the face of difficulties, the only thing the Queen of Magic Bullet can do is to face the difficulties and never stop.
