So I became a witch

The previously injured part began to ache, and the inside of the body seemed to be on strike, making a creepy sound.But more serious than these is the attack from the black mist.

Cruel, indifferent, like an executioner who simply obeyed orders, mechanically repeating the work of beheading the head in front of him, it was that kind of thing.

Although I have received this part of the training in the Knight Academy, the reality is really different from the training, especially here near the deep sea near the restricted area. As for making yourself spit it out.For her now, there is a good news and a bad news. The good news is that at the moment the ship sank, she preserved herself well, and she would not lose consciousness directly; the bad news is that even with her body, in such a It can't last long under the erosion of high-density black mist, at least 1 minute, as long as 5 minutes, or it will be completely obliterated by the curse, or it will become the same thing as those monsters.

Leila exhaled deeply the gas deposited in her lungs, managed to pull up a bit of strength, and made an ice floating board for herself. Grabbing the floating board, she finally stopped her sinking body and resurfaced. water surface.The moment she first surfaced, she didn't even have time to breathe in, and desperately shouted the name in her heart: "His Royal Highness! Xilia!"

No one answered.The sound of the storm drowned out her cries, and there was no one in sight but herself.

Leila's heart sank to the bottom, but she still continued to call out: "Xilia! Princess! Where are you!"

All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck beside her, causing waves several meters high to push Leila far away.Leila realized in an instant, it was Hydera!Even after sinking the ship, it didn't give up. As the overlord of the sea, it didn't allow any creature that dared to provoke it to survive.

Leila let out a miserable smile. There was no way to save her. Even if the one-in-a-billion possibility happened, what would it do for her who had lost the most important person?

He had clearly made up his mind, had decided to absolutely protect that person, but the result was... again and again, he let that shelter slip through his fingers.

Human beings are simply too small.

So small that he can't even control his own destiny, no one can escape the end of death.If I knew this, I shouldn't have agreed to bring the princess here.

If it wasn't for my own arrogance, obviously, there should be other different results.

If there is a god in this world, it must be a very evil existence.Put hope before you, and destroy it with your own hands.

No, it was not the gods who destroyed that hope, but herself.

All of this is because of her, who is too weak.

everything is over.

Facing the huge meteorite that fell from the sky and almost occupied her entire field of vision, Leila slowly closed her eyes.

After all, I am just a loser.

"……do not give up."

A dreamy voice that seemed to come from outside the world suddenly sounded in her heart.

"Open your eyes, now is not the time to give up."

The body reacted automatically, and Leila slowly opened her eyes, and then she saw the girl's figure floating in midair, made of light spots.

Leila's body trembled violently, tears flowed unconsciously, and her brain began to ache faintly.

After all, when and where?

I have seen such brilliance before.

Hydera let out a sharp cry, and the nine heads retreated in unison, as if they were afraid of the figure of light.This is a completely inconceivable thing, compared to its huge body with a height of a thousand meters, that human figure is so small that it is like a dust.However, Leila accepted the fact calmly.Because the radiance emitted from that human figure was too pure, the darkness that was impenetrable even with the latest lighting device of the empire, faded away by itself around the light of that human figure.

"Go back, this is not where you came from." The voice said softly.

The snake pupils of Hydera's nine heads were all erected, staring fiercely at the human figure, and did not back away.

"Really? Then, please bury yourself here. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, a life like yours shouldn't exist in this world. So..."

"Wither."

At the same time that the sound fell, the sea froze.

Yes, not hundreds or thousands of square meters, but the entire deep sea of ​​the restricted area, all frozen.

This is, what kind of terrifying power?Leila was stunned. Such a huge magical power was hidden in that thin and small body. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the gods were reborn.

The blue ice thorns emitted a faint blue light, binding Hydera's nine heads to the sea.Leila's body was also frozen, but, unbelievably, the ice was not cold at all, and was even slowly driving away the darkness and injuries from her body.

However, on the contrary, Hydera let out a shrill scream, and black fog continued to emanate from its body, as if what was freezing it was not ice, but something highly poisonous.

"You dare to go against that lord's wishes..." To Leila's surprise, the giant snake suddenly spit out human words, and it twisted its body crazily, trying to get out of the ice. Break free from the bondage, but the ice layer locked it tightly, and it didn't even appear to be broken.

"Isn't it enough just to this extent? Sure enough, there is still a long way to go from the judge." The figure said lightly, without any waves in his words.

"Damn it, it's unforgivable... I understand, I don't hesitate to show up here. Sure enough, it's for 'that'?! In that case, I will destroy this place, everything!!" Hydera suddenly stopped struggling, and it suddenly straightened up. The body was lifted, and the nine pupils aimed at the girl's figure in unison, and countless geometric figures naturally emerged in the space.

"That's...!" Layla cried out, no wonder she was so restless, the formation principle of magic is very complicated, and it requires proficiency in the application of rules and magic power.The levels of magicians are generally divided into five levels. Level 0, or point level, is the lowest existence. Almost all newborn babies exist at this level; when the "points" gather to a certain extent, they will become "Line" level, and this step is the difference between ordinary people and real magicians. Only those who can skillfully manipulate the "line" with their own magic power can be called real magicians; If it is condensed, it will become a "surface" level. Most elites in the empire are almost at this level. They draw their magic power on the "surface" to form a magic circle, and then release magic under the blessing of the rules; In terms of the upper level, it is the "body" level that even Leila has never seen. It is said that in the huge empire, there are only a few who can reach this level. This type of strong is no longer limited to the "face" Existence, can manipulate the magic power as one likes.

However, the magic controlled by the giant snake in front of her was far beyond her comprehension. Level 5?Or level 6?Or even a higher level?Completely, can not understand.A breakthrough at each level is almost equivalent to a change in dimension. Regardless of the complexity or magic power, it will increase geometrically, just like the structure of a pyramid, which is why the number of high-level magicians is so rare.But the existence of Hydera completely subverted her common sense.Thinking about it now, it was just playing with the mentality of playing with its prey just now. Otherwise, with the power it is showing now, it would only take an instant to destroy the protective cover on the ship.

However, under the threat of the girl's human form, it finally showed its full strength, that is, a terrifying power beyond the dimension, a huge magic power filled this area, and even time and space were distorted, powerful gravitational field.

Facing such a terrifying attack, the girl didn't move at all, just, just raised a finger.

"Go to hell," she said softly.

As if joking, the flow of magic power stopped.No, it disappeared completely.The magic power, which was huge enough to distort the dimension, turned into nothingness under the girl's words.

"Impossible! The power of that adult, why do you..." Hydera's words stopped abruptly, because before that, the girl's finger had touched its forehead.

"Please stay here and dissipate."

Ice cubes, broken.

At the same time, the nine giant heads of Hydera were also broken. At some point, the ice blocks that had condensed on the sea had completely climbed up to its head. At this time, under the girl's words, its heads and those ice blocks Together, like a bean curd dregs project experiencing an earthquake, pieces of land were stripped from the main trunk, and finally fell and sank to the bottom of the sea.

Leila, who lost the support of the ice layer, sank into the water again, but this time, there was no disgusting and disgusting black mist before, and what was there was just as gently wrapped in the warm sea water as if returning to her mother's body. .

"Please, please come here quickly." That voice came to her heart again.

You, what are you... Leila asked silently.

"Be sure to come here before everything disappears...before 'I' kills everything."

Leila still wanted to ask something, but the hazy sleepiness surged like a tide, and her consciousness gradually sank to the bottom.

what are you...

Who?

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

Leila woke up suddenly from her sleep, subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab something, and then froze.

What appeared in front of her eyes was a wooden roof lit by candles, and a solid sense of solidity came from behind, reminding her that this place was no longer the deep sea.

Her mind was in a state of confusion, and she had just woken up before she could figure out the current situation, when suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

"Who?" Layla subconsciously stretched her hand towards the position of the sword at her waist, but found nothing.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." The girl who appeared at the door of the wooden house was a girl Leila knew well.At this time, she had already taken off the windbreaker covering her whole body, revealing her long black hair, only the mask that seemed to be crying and smiling was still on her face.

"Really...you're fine." Leila breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously glanced away.She has an unspeakable emotion for the girl in front of her. As Claire said, what she does is no different from him.

"If you're looking for the princess, she's fine. Look, it's there." Following where her finger pointed, Leila looked over and found another bed directly opposite her, fainting The sleeping Xilia, because the candles in the room were a little dim, and because she was still a little dizzy after waking up, Leila didn't notice her at the first time.

"Great..." Layla took a long breath, as if trying to get all the worries out of her body.Tears of joy leaked from the corners of his eyes, blurring his vision, "...It's really great."

"It seems that she is very important to you."

"...Yeah, she is me, the most important person." Leila nodded emphatically, wiping the tears from her eyes with her sleeves.

"Really? Then from now on, please continue to move forward like this. It is absolutely unjust to protect someone even at the expense of killing someone, and it will never be forgiven. However, if you don't bear this sin It is impossible for everyone to be rescued. Rest well, your wounds should not fully heal, if there is anything else, please talk about it at that time." After finishing speaking, Steller turned around and was about to close the wooden house the door.

"Wait a minute! Well, and... where are the others?" Lila resisted the severe pain in her body and struggled to lift her upper body from the bed, "My... companions."

"...Thank you for thinking of them so much."

"I know that they have done unforgivable things! But, that is also... helpless. Every one of them became a knight and chose to embark on this journey with one or another kind of consciousness. As their captain, I can't just leave them alone," Leila said.

Because she was wearing a mask, Steller's expression could not be seen, and she said in her usual calm voice: "I don't know. In that case, you don't think you can make everyone so easy They were all rescued, right? However, they may not necessarily be dead, and if they are lucky, they may drift to some unknown place to survive like us.”

"... I see, thank you."

"Then, good night." Steller cut off the wick and closed the door gently.The world inside the house fell into darkness again, followed by a sense of reassuring sleepiness.

Steller's previous words echoed in Leila's heart for a long time.In the darkness, Xilia's peaceful sleeping face faced Leila's head-on. While she was delighted, she couldn't help feeling a little more worried.Can I really protect her?Although he escaped by chance this time, what if the same situation happens again next time?Leila shuddered at the thought that she might lose Celia forever as a result.She didn't dare to imagine how she would become in the face of that kind of ending. It was impossible to be as lucky as this time every time. Could she make up her mind next time?

do not know.

There were too many things she couldn't understand, so she simply gave up thinking.

However, there was one thing she had to figure out.

The light I saw when I fell to the bottom of the sea.

The appearance seems to be just the appearance of a girl, but it easily obliterates the god-like Hydera.

I have seen her before.

Not now, but earlier, at a certain point in a certain place, the past that does not belong to this world line.There is no gap in her memory, and she has no feeling about it, but she has an inexplicable sense of familiarity with that girl.

Whether it's the beam of light piercing the sky, or the terrifying power that freezes the entire sea, she has never seen it before.However, there is still an impression.

So what is it?

Although she didn't understand it very well, Leila vaguely felt some kind of wonderful causal line between that girl, herself, and other people.

Maybe, we can meet again.

Holding such fantasies, Leila fell into a deep sleep again.

……

Leila who came out of the wooden house did not go far, but sat down on the small wooden chair at the door.There is an open space near the wooden house, on which is placed firewood for daily needs, and beside the firewood is a simple kitchen table, where the owner of the house probably cooks and eats on weekdays.The wooden house happened to be built next to the river bank. If you go up a little bit, you can see a waterfall that reaches the sky, and you can see it a few feet away.The rest of it is completely surrounded by trees. It is hard to imagine that the power of "death" has spread so far, and there is such a dense forest in a certain corner of the world.

What Steller didn't explain was that she, like Leila and the others, woke up in that hut, but it took a few minutes in the morning, and the second princess of the empire, Xilia, happened to be asleep next to her.Considering that she has to rely on the power of that female knight so far, she just got out of bed silently, and even pretended to know the situation well when the other party woke up. In fact, she knew nothing more than the other party. How many.However, when I was still young, the woman who almost forgot her name once told me that I should never let others see through my details, even if it was a bluff, so that I could survive in this cannibalistic world .

Although I don't know what happened, but I still survived for the time being. Congratulations, congratulations, but if this is the case, this thing is useless.

Steller slowly took out a necklace from his collar, and it was the one delivered to Claire before.

No, to be precise, that is a "counterfeit", but what I hold in my hand is the genuine one.

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

With her personality, how could she give away what she got so easily.Even Claire never thought that Steller would so naturally take out the "fake product" at that time. What's even more unbelievable is that even as a user, he didn't notice the existence of the fake product at all, and It was simply determined that there was something wrong with the necklace itself.

But Steller didn't feel surprised at all, even if the craftsman who made this thing could tell the difference, it might be difficult to tell the truth from the fake, the ability she possessed was that kind of thing.

At that time, when she was even younger than she is now, from a certain day onwards, she began to be able to see a special existence.Points and lines, time and space, everything in the world is replaced by "data", the brain crashed completely the moment she understood it, and she even had a high fever for several days because of this, most of the previous memories were in the It was blurry then.

"The Imaginary Eye", this is the name she gave to her awakened right eye.Although it sounds like there is some secondary meaning, but in fact, this eye can indeed see the world of fictional information that ordinary people cannot see.

After a long period of torture and pain, she finally gradually learned how to control the eye and how to use its power.For example, before this, she was able to ignore the obstacles of darkness and thick fog with the help of this right eye, discerning dangerous information and bypassing it, and thus approached the forbidden sea unscathed.

Of course, this is just one of the ways to use the right eye. Even Steller, who owns it, cannot understand its full picture.However, the only thing that is certain is that this is not a power that humans can possess. Even now, after using its power many times, Steller still feels a splitting headache. Just die.

On the basis of "seeing", Steller also developed a special ability, which she named "copying".As the name suggests, it is to copy the "properties" of a certain object into another object.

If everything in this world is composed of fictitious information, and the existence of objects is just the carrier of information, then what will happen if the information of a certain object is written into a different carrier? Woolen cloth?

The answer is that there will be two identical objects.

The previous necklace was made by Steller using this ability, and its prototype is just a small stone that can be seen everywhere.In theory, if conditions permit, Steller can create countless similar items, but in fact, the more powerful the existence, the more complex the information level, and it will take a lot of time to read, such as this necklace , I don’t know what it was made of. At the beginning, she almost burned her brain when she read it. In the end, she just chose a part of the outer layer to create a fake, but it was to deceive those who didn’t match Guys with eyes like her that can see the essence are enough.

The reason for doing this is because she doesn't trust those guys.To be precise, she doesn't believe in anyone other than herself, even the children in the same church are just people gathered for a common purpose, and she never had a partner or something from the beginning .Fortunately, just in case the counterfeit product finally came in handy, the fake necklace was deliberately used to attract everyone's attention, and then the magic power was quietly injected into the necklace.Although not as huge as Layla and the others, Steller does have a magical aptitude that only a small number of nobles have, and she doesn't know the reason and doesn't bother to know.The necklace emitted a bright but calm light, and what appeared after that was the human form of the shining girl.

Steller doesn't know who that girl is, why she has such a huge power, and why she is attached to a small necklace, but it is estimated that she is saved by dragging her luck, although even without it, Steller Le can also have the confidence to save himself and survive alone.In the original plan, there was still a special lifeboat on that ship that only she knew about. It would be fine if those guys would stay there honestly. Once there was any big news, Steller would be able to disengage yourself.Anyway, being able to see Hydera is already an unexpected situation, and the next journey, even if she is the only one, can go on.

However, for some reason, when she saw that the second princess of the empire threw her away and she was seriously injured, Steller's heart was slightly touched, and she acted completely out of her usual personality. This cumbersome and error-prone plan was made.

After the ship sank, Steller immediately grabbed the hand of Celia, who was still in a coma, and carried her tightly on his body, and found Lei, who was also unconscious due to excessive blood loss. La, she finally finished all this before the space teleportation of the necklace was activated, and then she also lost consciousness, and when she woke up, she found that the three of them appeared together in this wooden house.

Originally, in her initial estimate, the function of this necklace should be to send someone back to the royal city when they are threatened. As for the girl of light who appeared later, and the inexplicable place , were beyond Steller's expectations.Could it be that the BUG was caused because she temporarily used the ability of copying to forcibly increase the number of people transferred?Steller was also a little confused.Although she seems to be well-versed in everything, she is unexpectedly a very careless person, and most of the work in the church is handed over to Shariste and the others. She only needs to maintain the image of "the indifferent leader" Will suffice.

"Well, no matter how much magic power is injected into this thing from just now, it's useless. It's really broken, right? Why don't you just sell it? Gems like this purity and size, even if you don't consider the magic circle contained in it Meaning, it’s worth at least 500 gold carats, right?” Steller said to herself, but her mind was completely on another matter.

The words left by the incredible girl who was made of light spots after she wiped out Hydera with a wave of her hand.It sounded like she was waiting for someone.But from Steller's ears, the girl seemed to be talking to herself from the very beginning...

It was as if they were long-standing friends.

(After going out for a day, I originally wanted to take advantage of today to add a few more chapters, but it was too late, so I wrote a chapter 233 and wrote more tomorrow)

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

But how is this possible?If I really know that kind of powerful guy, why hide like a mouse on the street corner of the city?Just moved into the palace. Well, even the mythical Hydera was easily wiped out. She didn't think there was anyone in the palace who could stop him.

Hey, it's all fruitless things anyway, and it's useless to think about it.Anyway, if they came here because of that girl, then there must be a day when they will meet.

After sitting for a while, Steller lay down on the bench again.It has been a long time since her body has been so relaxed. For a person like her who was born at the bottom of the society, she has to do her best just to survive every day. It is like the entertainment and rest of the nobles. Pass.Stretching your body so easily now, it was already a very young thing in your memory, and in that woman's arms, everything seemed to fade away.

By the way, now it is the same as then, the starlight is like a veil, covering her body, gentle and beautiful... Starlight?
