So I became a witch

stab down.

"Hey!!!!" Helia's mournful cry came from beside her ear.

The darkness surrounding her receded like a tide, and Leila's consciousness suddenly became clear.After a short period of distortion, Leila finally came back to her senses, but after noticing the scene in front of her, she froze again.

Steller, who was originally controlling the ship, knelt half-kneeling at the end of the deck in silence at this time, covering the other arm with his right hand, blood seeping from between his fingers unstoppably.And not far from her, Xilia lay unconscious on the ground, and her clothes had traces of being burned by magic.Right in front of the two, three knights who were supposed to be in charge of defense came to the front at some point, walking towards Steller step by step in a double-team posture.

"Emer, Shudes, Claire, what do you want to do!" After a brief pause, Leila finally understood what happened before that, and sternly shouted at the three.

The knights who had originally obeyed her orders ignored her words at this time, and stared at the wounded and fallen Steller, their eyes were ferocious like a wild beast, and their bodies were tense and ready. Once Steller made any move, the magic power of the three would be released in an instant.

"Oh, oh, I don't think there is any reason for the three of us to take action with a weak little girl like us. Could it be that she wants to rob sex?" Facing the murderous intent of the three, Steller seemed like Unconsciously, he smiled and said, "Well, it's just a joke, don't be so nervous. Since it's not for sex, it's for money, that's... this."

She slowly took out the necklace she got from Xilia from her collar. At this moment, everyone's eyes narrowed.

"Give that to me, and I can spare you." Claire's eyes were bloodshot, her eyes fixed on the necklace, and she said hoarsely.

Chapter 100 Negotiation

"Hey, hey, are you serious about saying this at this time?" Steller sighed, and slowly glanced at the other knights present. Except for these three, everyone's eyes were on Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at the necklace in Steller's hand, his eyes flashed with desire for life, "Well, it seems that everyone present has had such thoughts. Then, why don't you just take advantage of my inattention? How about killing me and taking the necklace away? Wouldn’t it be easier? Or, have you already done that?”

"Ah, if it wasn't for that brat, you would be dead now." Claire said unceremoniously.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'''s huh?" Staller slightly turned his gaze to the unconscious Xielia, if she hadn't pushed himself away just now." If it is not the case, although it is not likely to die, at least the injuries will be much more serious than now.However, as a price, Celia herself was seriously injured by the fireball shot by Claire.

"Shut up! That kind of woman who is just like a vase should just stay in the palace obediently like a puppet, but she asked for it!" Claire's expression became visibly anxious, and she spoke at a rapid pace. Also accelerated a lot.

"Claire...do you know what I'm talking about!" Leila was shocked, it was hard to imagine that the gentle and handsome guy who was widely praised among girls would reveal his demonic side at this moment.

"Shut up for me too! It's just a bitch of a low-class nobleman who dared to climb on my head and even became the captain. You must have used your dirty body to curry favor with many fat pigs! "Claire's expression twisted.

"You bastard...!"

"Don't stop! Continue to support the barrier for me! Otherwise, I'll kill that brat!" Claire drew out his weapon, which was a Western-style rapier sword, and the tip of the sword was almost completely pressed against it. The throat of the unconscious Princess Helia.

"Oh! Princess!" Leila clenched her teeth, but she didn't dare to move her body at all, she could only continue to inject strength into the barrier.

"Hurry up! Give that thing to me!" Claire said hastily, while a man and a woman knight beside him held their weapons silently, guarding against attacks from others.

In stark contrast to his urgency, Steller showed an unhurried look, and continued to say slowly: "Well, from your appearance, it seems that you didn't just do it on a whim? Probably, it was during the You have planned all this a long time ago, right? Since you learned that Her Highness the Princess will also join this operation, you have calculated that as a noble princess, it is impossible to take such a dangerous journey unprepared. I am afraid , is to regard her as your own 'safety lock'. If there is an accident, you will definitely attack her without hesitation, just like you wanted to kill me just now."

"..."

"Oh, oh, since you keep silent, that means you admit it?"

"Claire, you bastard, are you really..."

"That's right, so what?" Claire's expression suddenly calmed down, "I am the eldest son of the Duke, a new star of the Imperial Knights, and someone who is destined to inherit the name of Hoffman in the future. A worthless woman, am I more worthy of living? Well, but it’s a pity. Although she is an idiot who will believe it, at least she has a pretty face, and more importantly, her princess Title. In fact, I didn’t plan to do this at first. As long as I can successfully find that legendary ‘witch’, I can become a hero like Rockefeller, and then I can train this white lady into a pair. After I obey my word, the whole country will be brought into my hands. No, I don’t know if it’s this country, or even the whole world, the whole universe, I will become the king of everything!”

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he completely exposed his desire on his face, as if he had really realized his dream now.However, no one dared to say anything about it. When a person who has been pretending to be very good suddenly reveals his true nature, it means that he has made preparations to never reveal his true nature.

And the easiest way is to kill all those who know.

"Crack, crack, crack." Just as everyone was silent, Steller clapped his hands lightly and sighed, "It's amazing, it's really amazing. That extreme solipsism makes everything stand out. The attitude of using it as one's own pedal to achieve one person, honestly, is very admirable."

"Are you mocking me?"

"No, no, no, I really think it's great. As long as you can live, whether it's relatives, friends, lovers, or friends, personality, or emotions, you can give up all of them. Isn't that great? If it weren't for this situation, I would have fallen in love with you, hahahahahaha!"

Claire was taken aback by Steller's morbid laughter, and took a step back involuntarily, then, realizing his gaffe, he became ferocious again: "Stop talking nonsense! Give me that quickly! "

"Don't worry, after all, even if I hold this, I don't know how to use it? Maybe it is injected with magic power, or it is automatically triggered when dying? It is because you can't confirm that you dare not continue to do it. You chose to use it. The method of negotiation, right? Although I don’t think it’s a negotiation at all. I can give it to you, because I appreciate you very much. However, there is one thing I don’t understand. In case before that, I used this What would you do if the thing escaped, or if I was killed and taken away by someone else?"

"It's very simple, because I told my father before I set off that if I don't go back alive during this operation, you, and all your relatives, will be buried with me." Claire showed a distorted look Said with a smile.

The knights who were eager to try just now, after hearing his words, all of a sudden turned pale.They knew that Claire was not lying. As the eldest son of the Hoffman family who controlled the Imperial Academy of Economics and Science and Technology, he did have this right and power in this world where power is paramount.

"Now do you understand? If there is only one person on this ship who can survive, that person can only be me from the beginning. As long as I go back alive, they will all be awarded honorary titles, and your family members will also be awarded honorary titles." I can get the guarantee of survival; but if I die, their whole family will be sentenced to death for treason, after knowing this, there is no idiot who wants to attack me from the beginning."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"You...crazy." Leila gritted her teeth.

"Oh? Does our captain still have the strength to say such things now? I saw it. Didn't you just want to attack that pariah? Now that things have happened, do you still have the right to accuse me?" Claire issued Disdainful voice.

Leila's eyes widened, and her words became a little flustered: "No! It's for Her Royal Highness..." Her voice gradually sank, and she lowered her head in fear of meeting Steller's gaze.Whatever the reason, as Claire said, what she committed was the same sin as him.

"That's right, that's it! Just like you are now, work hard to keep me alive!" Claire laughed mockingly.

The ship fell into a deeper silence than before.Hydera's attack is still going on, they may die at any time, maybe the next second, or 1 minute later, everyone is desperately injecting power into the barrier, but their eyes become as if they are dead.

Now they are just puppets who have lost hope.

"Absolutely... you won't be allowed to do whatever you want." Leila took a deep breath and repositioned herself.

However, in the face of her hostility, Claire just raised the corners of her mouth contemptuously, and shook her head, with the meaning of "unfortunately, anger is indisputable": "If it is normal, I am indeed a little more afraid of you, But now, after you have fought against the giant snake and desperately propped up the barrier for a long time, how much strength do you have left? I’m afraid you don’t even have one-tenth of it?”

"Ah, it's just like what you said. Even if it's intact, the gap between you and me is probably only about equal. With the current me, I probably can't beat you. But, because of this , I will execute you, the traitor, with my own hands!" Once again, blue frost formed on Leila's sword.

Claire took a step back vigilantly, and soon smiled again: "I'm sorry, I won't waste my energy with a stubborn idiot like you. Your opponents are them." After speaking, he turned his back and walked step by step He walked towards Steller who was sitting on the sidelines and watching with cold eyes.

"You coward! Do you really want to..." Leila just wanted to rush up, but a flash of lightning blocked her way forward, and two familiar figures appeared in front of her, blocking her.

Leila looked at the two familiar figures in front of her in disbelief: "Fariye, Velen, have you even betrayed?"

"I'm sorry, Captain." Velen's voice was very low. This big boy who was usually as warm as the sun in winter, now exudes a cold aura, "I can't let you shoot him."

"You..." Leila raised her sword and stabbed at his throat.

"My daughter was just born this year." Wei Lun didn't do anything, but said in a voice that seemed to be dead.

Leila's sword stopped in mid-air, her hand trembled slightly, but she couldn't stab it no matter what.

"It's a very cute child. She looks like an angel in a deep sleep. If it's for her, it doesn't matter what you do. I'm not the same as the captain. I'm just a commoner. The one you love has to give everything if you can live in this fucking world. So, I tried my best to enter the Knight Academy, entered the Imperial Knights, and was finally selected to join this mission ...It’s only one step away, and I’m only one step away from making them happy, so I won’t let anyone stop me, even you, the captain.” Wei Lun raised his head, his eyes full of determination .

"...If it's for Her Royal Highness, I won't give in." She gritted her teeth and said, but her swaying body revealed the wavering in her heart.

"Really, it's the captain after all... Then, what if they are added?"

At some point, the rest of the knights were all ready to fight, and the place they were aiming at... was Layla's vital point.

As long as she dared to act rashly, magic would shoot at her from all directions. Even with her original strength, it would be difficult to deal with it, let alone now after being injured.

Powerlessness, hatred, despair, all kinds of dark thoughts flooded Leila's mind.Why, why is everyone trying to stop me?Obviously, I just want to save Her Highness the Princess.

"Really... from today, you are my knight. From now on, I will leave it to you." The face in memory said with a friendly smile.

How beautiful and lovable!Leila's heart was sunk at that moment.If there is a goddess in this world, it must be what she looks like.

In the eyes of everyone, that powerful Leila who was shining like a star was actually always confused.Born as the daughter of an inferior nobleman, she was doomed to only be a tool for her parents to cling to the powerful. She was not loved by her relatives, and she was in stark contrast to her younger brother who was loved by thousands of people.

Therefore, longing to be recognized, Leila chose to join the Knight Academy. She was burdened with envy, incomprehension, indifference and ridicule from everyone, step by step, and climbed firmly, in order to be like her younger brother. A small compliment.For her parents, however, her actions are only reducing her value as a reproductive tool.Obviously, it is enough to learn how to please men and marry a rich nobleman.Being insulted and denied like that, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and escaped from that house.

There is nothing left.My past, value, and meaning of existence have all disappeared.

Where can such a self exist?

Just when she was in deep despair, the gods never abandoned her.

"Well, what are you doing here?" the voice said softly.

"I already have no place to go back." He replied in such a hoarse voice that he couldn't tell it was his own.

"In that case, would you like to come to my house?"

...Ah, this must be God's will.

"Really, Your Highness, you picked up some strange things and came back." The maid who sighed like that seemed to be very happy on her face, and quickly helped Leila take off the soiled clothes.

"Please, please, don't tell your sister and brother." The girl said nervously.

"Even if I don't tell you, Lord Edward and Gravell will probably know about it sooner or later?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"...why?" Layla whispered.

"What?" the girl turned her head and said to Leila in surprise.

"Why, you want to save me?"

"What, why... You can't ignore people who need help, right?" The girl said without hesitation, as if she had been taught this way all along.

"Obviously, I have nothing left. Whether it is the meaning of existence or the value of existence, there is nothing left."

"Hmm... Although I don't know what you encountered, but you have to find that kind of thing by yourself? The expectations and responsibilities you have been given are not what you want after all, right?"

"What do I want...?"

"Well. If you don't know, then go look for it. If you can't find it, keep looking. As long as you don't give up, you will find it one day."

"In that case... can, allow me to stay here?"

"Of course, you can stay as long as you want." The girl said with a smile, like a blooming flower.

From then on, Leila made up her mind that her sword would only be wielded by that one person from now on.

Why, would you forget such an important thing?

Think carefully about what the teacher said in the Knight Academy.

"The power of magic depends on your heart. The stronger your heart is, the stronger your power will be."

At that time, she only knew a little about it, but now, maybe she can understand a thing or two.

Heart power?if that is the case……

Like a spring gushing out of a dry well, Leila's scarred body once again burst out with blue energy.

But that is not without cost, if used many times, it will probably be exhausted along with the soul.

However, for Leila at this time, there was only one thought left in her mind.

They must not be allowed to hurt Xilia.

Even if it is the immortal gods who resist in front of her, it must be...

Kill it!

"That's it." Just as the confrontation between Layla and Claire was on the verge of breaking out, Steller's words suddenly broke in, "It's yours, so stop here."

After finishing speaking, Steller threw the necklace over casually.

Claire froze for a moment, dropped the sword in her hand almost subconsciously, and excitedly caught the necklace with both hands, as if it was some priceless treasure, and of course it was true.

"You...!" Layla's momentum was interrupted in an instant. She wanted to rush forward urgently, but was blocked by the two people in front of her. She could only watch as Claire got necklace.Things were developing too fast, and no one expected that Steller would give up the only talisman under the current situation so simply, which was almost equivalent to sending himself to death.

"That's fine, right? The things are already given to you, so no matter what happens next, it's not my fault?" Steller said lightly.

The ship's barrier has become so shallow that there is only the slightest thing left. In about ten seconds, the people on this ship will sink to the bottom of the sea together with the ship.And in this area far away from human habitation and close to the border of the black membrane, once the means of transportation is lost, it is almost equivalent to death.Claire obviously noticed this too, he didn't even have time to check the authenticity of the necklace, so he poured all his strength into it.

With the influx of energy, the gemstones on the necklace began to glow gradually.He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was still betting right.This is indeed a magic item, and it is ingeniously made, almost surpassing everything he has ever seen. Even Clare, who claims to be the elite of the elite, has to use all his strength to control it, and only the legendary Only the royal family who are favored by the gods can hold such a treasure, and now, such a treasure is in their own hands.

He didn't care about the consequences of running away like this. For Clare, only he was the most important, and other people, even the whole world, were just his stepping stones.As for the reasons, as many as possible, compared to him, the son of the duke who has an infinite bright future, and the second princess who is not taken seriously, it is nothing at all.

As long as he can survive, with his ability, he can have everything he wants.

"That's right...Only I am worthy to be the god of this world!"

The light completely engulfed him, and that moment of brightness made everyone close their eyes.

Then, after they regained their vision, they found that Claire was still standing there, holding the necklace that had completely lost its strength and was just a useless stone.

"Why, why! I clearly felt that moment, why... why nothing happened!" He yelled hysterically, his expression distorted and completely inhuman.

"Oh, did it get damaged accidentally somewhere? I'm so sorry." Completely different from Claire, Steller's voice sounded as cheerful as ever.

"Don't be kidding! Don't be kidding! How could I die in this kind of place! That's right, I'm the one chosen by God! It should be like this all along! It's the same this time, everyone is fine , come and save me!"

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha!" Steller laughed loudly, as if his emotions had completely exploded after he had endured for a long time, "This is really... What a pleasing sight! The more self-proclaimed noble existence, The appearance before death will be even more humble. Every time I see it, I can't help but laugh."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Claire trembled.This girl who has always been loathed by him, even disdainful to talk to her, in his eyes gradually turned into a devil-like image, "Yes, that's right! It's you! It's you from the beginning, It was you who brought us here! You are the real devil!"

"Ah, ah, didn't I say it earlier? The restricted area of ​​the black membrane is not a good place to go. Only with the determination to die can you survive. And you don't seem to have such a determination! So ...please bury it here."

"Don't be kidding! Who wants to die in this kind of place! I won't die, I absolutely..." His voice stopped abruptly, and the protective effect of the barrier was under Hydera's indiscriminate bombardment. It was finally broken, and a fireball happened to hit Claire's position, and at the same time completely tore the fragile wooden boat apart.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The first thing I felt was the biting cold.
