Even if you become a witch, you have to eat oranges

Four black-glove cadres surrounded the mercenary captain, and neither party acted rashly.

Not long ago, several people who were reminded by the witch found Cotton hiding not far away, and they immediately prepared to surround him.

However, the cultists who thought they were sure of victory did not expect that this Cotton was stronger than they imagined.

In several brief confrontations, several cadres returned without success. Instead of gaining the upper hand, the four people joined forces and suffered some minor injuries.

Sure enough, the woman finally hinted that their use of the blood curse was not unfounded, and this person was indeed not someone they could easily deal with.

"Don't hesitate! Kill him quickly! Don't wait until the Lord God Envoy comes back!"

"Yes!"

Several cadres responded in unison. One of them hesitated, turned around and asked:

"Sir! Can you let 'Butcher' participate in the battle?"

"This is nothing for you to worry about, I make my own decision!"

"Yes!"

Old Cade glanced at the sturdy man behind him. He said nothing, his eyes filled with suppressed violence.The beast was now restless, stimulated by the smell of blood.

The Butcher's intervention would surely resolve the fight quickly, but Old Cade didn't want him to fight.Each time, the Butcher tears the enemy into pieces and then devours their flesh.

Each time it becomes more powerful and ferocious, and also more difficult to control.The terrifying power not only comforted Cade, but also frightened him.

Cotton was anxious now.

He no longer had the energy to think about Ryan and those little girls.Since he was discovered by these people, it means that the divine envoy either already knows, or will know about it soon.

He had no doubt that the witch was capable of wiping out the entire convoy.

He must quickly inform his brothers. They only know that there are suspected cultists in the team and have no idea about the existence of a powerful 'god envoy'.

This escort mission no longer matters. Organizing the entire convoy to disperse should make it more difficult to silence the divine envoy. The church’s men should be on the way...

First, break through the obstacles in front of you.

After testing for a few rounds, Cotton had figured out the level of the people in front of him, and he was no longer conservative.

Huge energy extended from the body, forming thick invisible armor on the body and the blade, and the air became faintly distorted.

boom!

With a huge amount of energy injected into his legs, Cotton kicked off his feet and shot toward the enemy in front of him.

Cotton arrived in front of a cadre almost instantly.

Cotton, who had been on the defensive, suddenly attacked, shocking the cadre. He hastily raised his hands that turned into claws to resist——

Ping!

The sword claws intersected, making a sound like the collision of steel, and a few sparks illuminated the faces of the two people close at hand.

The cadre's face was ferocious and panicked, while Cotton's was brave and fearless.

Bang!

"what!!"

The thick air on the sword detonated, and the violent energy broke the iron claws. The latter howled and retreated quickly.

Cotton still wanted to continue the pursuit, but the attacks from the surrounding enemies had already arrived.Then the long sword in his hand turned around and collided with the sharp claws of three enemies respectively, neutralizing all the attacks.

"Damn it! Use the blood curse to kill him!" An injured cadre's hands were covered with blood. He used the claws with two broken fingers to tear off the black glove on the other hand, revealing a complicated blood-red magic circle.

The other three people also distanced themselves, took off their gloves and began to prepare for the sacrifice of flesh and blood.

"Huh? We're finally going to use our trump card?" Cotton felt something strange under the gloves early, and he continued to attack the injured cadre without hesitation.

"You!" The injured cadre was furious. Many opponents were confused about their 'self-mutilation' behavior and failed to stop it in time. They didn't expect the mercenary in front of them to be so decisive.

The long sword attacked like raindrops, which contained a huge amount of energy and carried explosive power.Unlike the violent power, the swordsmanship itself is dense and subtle.

Cadre moved left and right to dodge, but his strength, speed and even experience were far inferior to his opponent. Previously, he could only resist with the cooperation of four people.

"what!"

Finally, he let out a scream, and the wounded cadre finally showed his flaws, and his throat was slashed by a sword.

He fell down with unwillingness in his eyes, and the increasingly dazzling red light on the magic circle covered with blood on his hands was extinguished.

Only then did Cotton have time to look at the other three cadres.

They can no longer be called human beings. Their bodies have swelled up and are covered with thick and long hair. The claws on their hands have become wide and sharp. Their beast-like eyes are filled with murderous intent, and a tail stretches out from their backs.

Roar!

Three monsters that looked like humanoid wolves roared and rushed towards him.

Volume 23: [-]. First encounter

So fast!

The strength of the monsters attacking from three directions was more than one level higher than before. Cotton only had time to receive the attacks of two of them, and was hit in the waist by another sharp claw surrounded by red and black air currents.

The invisible armor surrounding him rubbed violently against it, and was torn open with a tearing sound.There was also an extra crack in the clothes on his body.

Fortunately, I was wearing close-fitting soft armor underneath. Cotton was glad that he didn't become careless because of the ordinary task, but he still felt very heavy.

It's hard for him to handle such strength alone.

Three monsters attacked again.

They were covered in red and black air currents, especially thick on their claws, and the leaves and branches touched by the air current were quickly corroded.

Cotton's eyes condensed, and a large amount of air flow was transferred to the sword in his hand, and even the protection around him became thin.

Secret skill·Breaking Steel Slash!

The violent energy condensed and compressed on the sword, and even caused a small air vortex around the body, with countless fallen leaves flying along with it.

This sword no longer relies on staggered steps and sword skills to block, but instead collides with three monsters at the same time.

Bang!

A harsh sound sounded.On one side was a middle-aged human man, and on the other side were three wolf-like monsters. After a brief struggle between the two sides, the three monsters were forced to retreat!

Cotton didn't retreat even an inch and forcefully absorbed the recoil.After leaving a deep footprint on the spot, he stepped forward, his sword moving with him.

tear-

Before the three monsters could adjust their postures, they were struck by a sword without being able to use their strength effectively, and their six claws were broken in response!There was even a blood mark on his chest.

"Huh...huh..."

Cotton could no longer pursue him. The two explosions in just a few breaths consumed a lot of energy and energy. He gasped twice on the spot, and beads of sweat broke out all over his body.

"It seems that you are just showing off! Go scare the children!"

Cotton looked at the three wailing monsters and felt a little relaxed.After suffering such an injury, he would have to defeat these monsters one by one.

However, the three monsters did not escape as expected.A large amount of red and black air flow wrapped around the broken arm, and the bones and flesh intertwined and grew. In almost a few seconds, new claws grew out.

"Hey, no!"

This time, cold sweat flowed from his head.

The three monsters charged forward again, and this time Cotton no longer dared to use secret techniques to challenge them, and returned to the original way of relying on skills to deal with them.

However, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. The scars made by Cotton's sword on the monster healed almost instantly. On the contrary, every time he was hit, the air armor was damaged and consumed a huge amount.

After a few rounds, Cotton's energy was severely depleted. On the other hand, the three monsters seemed to have consumed little. The black and red air flow was as dense as before, and the offensive did not slow down.

Moreover, there was that strong man who felt extremely dangerous and never joined the battle.

Cotton grew desperate and began to consider the possibility of dying here.

No matter what, if at least one is taken away, I don’t believe they can recover endlessly!

The energy in his body was once again concentrated, and it was thickly wrapped around the sword. He stared at one of the monsters and launched a fierce attack on it.

There was a ruthless look in the eyes of this old mercenary. He felt as if he had returned to his youth, taking risks and squandering as if his life was worthless.

Secret skill·Breaking Steel Slash!

Secret skill: Flying Swallow Strike!

Secret skill·Bronze Cross!

The secret skills were continuously released, and the results were equally astonishing. The monster in the main attack direction was unable to fight back. All its limbs were broken, and its torso had a huge cross-shaped wound with visible bones.

The monster fell to the ground, unable to recover for a while, and could only wail repeatedly.

Cotton himself was also seriously injured. Most of the attacks from the other two monsters were forcefully eaten. The thinned air armor and soft armor were penetrated, leaving serious scars all over his body.

Before he could catch his breath, Cotton concentrated his energy on the sword again, and the armor around him became so thin that it almost disappeared.He wanted to take the initiative to attack again and completely cut off the severely injured monster.

There was fear in the eyes of the monster lying on the ground. He waved his broken limbs desperately, trying to stay away from the madman in front of him.

The other two monsters hurriedly surrounded him to prevent Cotton from continuing to hunt his companions.

"That's enough! Let him go! Let's leave quickly!"

There were anxious shouts in the distance.

Cotton and even the three cadres were in disbelief, and they looked over at the same time.

The one who shouted was undoubtedly Old Cade. He was the only one present who could order these cultists.

"I said - get out of here!"

"He...must die!" One of the cadres glared at the old man. He pointed one finger at the dead cadre on the ground not far away and the other at Cotton.

Unlike those defective products, these cadres did not completely lose their rationality while gaining strength, otherwise they would not be able to carry out coordinated attacks.

"This is the order of the God Envoy!" Cade pointed at the crow that was hovering in the air at some point. He was not afraid to look directly at the beast-like gaze:

“Are you going to go against God’s will?”

"Butcher……"

"That's enough!" Old Cade's expression changed and he roared:

"I said, don't question my decision! The Butcher will not take action today! He will kill whoever I want him to kill!"

The cadre looked at Old Cade and then at Cotton. His fangs creaked and his claws rubbed sparks.

Finally, he grabbed the cadre lying on the ground and turned towards the old man.

Another cadre followed and left. He blocked the back of the cadre in front and roared silently at Cotton.

Of course Cotton would not launch another sneak attack at this time. He stood there blankly, looking at the wounds all over his body, and murmured:

"Another life saved."

"I knew that the task of taking care of a rookie would be bad. I have to find a reason to train him later."

……

"Ah!"

Ryan sneezed loudly, waved his hands awkwardly, and said:

"I don't want these things anymore. I didn't kill that witch anyway!"

"How can that be done! There is no doubt that you have put in a lot of effort, and the thing that emits the holy light must be very precious, and it must be compensated for your losses."

There were a lot of the witch's belongings on the ground, divided into several piles.

"My father said that the amulet was blessed by the church, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful." Ryan said:

"Anyway, I didn't buy it myself. The worst I can do is go back and ask for another one."

Elena was sure that the young-looking young man in front of her had a rich background, but she didn't ask any more questions and just said again:

"Your mercenary group should also have regulations. There must be rewards for participating in battles... I won't dare to take them if you don't take them."

"Hmm... Okay! It just so happens that my sword is gone, so I'll use these to make a new one!" Ryan finally picked up the metals in those items, and he could see several of the precious metals at a glance.

Just as Elena and Kalei were putting away the witch's 'drops' and Ryan was holding a pile of metal and fantasizing about his new sword, a voice came from the side.

"Excuse me - um, have you seen a woman wearing a cloak, with a good figure, who looks very evil?"

A beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes looked at them.
