Oops, I became the witch's substitute

"It's a pure spiritual body now, but..." Feilin looked back in the direction he came from and was horrified to find that Feili was still there.

To be precise, Fili bumped her head against the hard scales, then stepped back, covering her head.

It feels like hitting a wall.

The usual feeling of multitasking, manipulating the false clone and the real body, returned.

There was no time to think about it, as a hurricane was hitting overhead. Filin was devastated to find a brand new Bahamut, emitting golden light, descending from the sky.

"This is a fantasy space, a spiritual world, and also the world we know, Bahamut." The next moment, Filin understood the current situation. "You and I have the same power in this realm, and you are a product of my fiction. You want to kill me to break free from the shackles of hypocrisy and become a real existence in the eyes of people."

"Proof of the existence of..."

"Are you conscious?"

Filin took a deep breath, and the flame of life rolled around him.

"I've had enough of red tape. I don't have time to waste with you. Let's duel in the most direct way, Bahamut!"

"Roar!"

Filin and Bahamut charged at each other, forming two distinct colors.

Then, Filin pierced through Bahamut's chest, shattering the illusion he had created.

Only I know that you are fake, and your weakness is me!

In reality, Fili was stunned for three seconds, and her two identities were completely synchronized with one thought. All of Fili's magic power was concentrated in her right hand, which also penetrated Bahamut's chest in one go.

"what?"

"Ala?"

"???"

The living people were all shocked, and after the dead souls crawled up, they all lamented that they had died too early.

Bahamut roared in pain, all the magic power leaked out from the cracks in his chest, the gold on his body slowly faded, and even the appearance of the black dragon was slowly melting, like a clown whose lies were exposed.

It was also at this moment that a huge amount of magic power was released, Hecate's super gravity magic was dispelled, Bahamut stood up, glared at Fili, and sprayed huge magic bullets at Fili one after another.

At first, Fili resisted two rounds, but her magic power was soon exhausted, her barrier was broken, and her head was bleeding. When she could no longer resist, Carol appeared in front of Fili, and the strings were intertwined into a new barrier, which was also melted by three ultimate breaths.

"No way? What did you do? Why is the effect so exaggerated?" Carol was hammered to her knees, and the sudden pressure caught her off guard.

But Fili understood that this was the star beast's last struggle. The rumor was dispelled by the person who spread it, leaving only its shaky cognitive ability to support it. Bahamut's only sanity was disappearing, leaving only endless rage.

Another ultimate magic bullet fell, and Fili and Carol held hands and resisted together.

At this time, someone passed by them. It was Serena. She raised her shield and smashed it on the ground. White magic power formed wings that extended backwards, and then built a wall, blocking two attacks in succession, and the wall turned into ruins.

"How should I put it? It's an amazing one-hit kill. Even I didn't know there was such a 'secret'." Hecate appeared in time, dragged Serena behind her, and then the magic of teleportation unfolded under everyone's feet, and they left the place instantly.

Afterwards, Bahamut gradually turned into a dragon-shaped silhouette, the magic power on his body continued to evaporate and disappear, and it was on the verge of collapsing.

Faced with this situation, the surrounding moles began to stir, but both the church army and Fili were unable to continue fighting and were taken away from the battlefield by Hecate.

This is not a normal war against star beasts.

Chapter 93: Sect and Witch

The battle surrounding Bahamut is not over yet, and the sacrifices of the church's front-line legions are indeed heroic, but the situation soon changed.

The star beasts have strong malice towards all life. It is the common responsibility of all creatures on earth to suppress the star beasts. This is how it should be...

Bahamut did not die immediately after suffering a fatal attack. Even after losing his true self, he was still struggling to fight back. However, this time he no longer had the power he had before, not even one thousandth of his strength. As a result, a brief melee ensued around the star beast.

People were shocked at Fili's power, but not many people knew Fili, nor did they know that the witch defeated Bahamut. Moreover, given the current situation, many people did not admit that the star beast was defeated.

The surviving predators in the surrounding area began to appear. They had suffered a lot just by watching the battle before, so of course they had to make back their money with a profit. They entered the battlefield regardless of the church's opposition and began to frantically plunder the bodies of the star beasts.

Of course, Orufa and Enil were also involved. The elite of the Morgana family preserved their strength and were relatively intact among the many forces. They only consumed a lot of magic power when defending. Their target was not only the star beasts, but also the attacks on the Arian sect.

However, the Arian sect's front-line legions had almost completely collapsed and gradually evacuated the battlefield. The brave Alex and the expeditionary knights were both seriously injured, and the sect's forces temporarily withdrew.

The current god Arius was even less interested in the current situation. He was not trying to stop Bahamut for the sake of the sect. After briefly greeting and thanking the elves, Arius prepared to visit Hecate and Fili.

At present, the desperate battle around Bahamut has lasted for nearly three days and has temporarily ended, and the wasteland melee around the star beast has just begun the first round. After all, even if it is mining, the star beast's huge body cannot be emptied overnight.

The surviving civilian groups, large organizations, mercenaries, and various speculators were all arriving at a leisurely pace.

At the same time, Fili and others who escaped to a safe place began to recuperate.

"What a loss!" Carol covered her head with her hands. "We are at a huge loss. We finally defeated the star beast, but we can't get the spoils right away. If we wait another two days, the most valuable things might be gone!"

"I'm satisfied to be alive." Fili sat down on the ground. Her magic power was exhausted and her voice was weak. After she finished speaking, she hurriedly supported Serena and asked, "How are your injuries?"

Serena covered her arm that was almost swaying in the wind: "Maybe, I need treatment?"

Carol saw it, raised her hand and called for the strings to wrap around Serena's hand, wrapping it into a cocoon. The healing power continued to be output, and Serena's face soon became much rosier.

Seeing this, Fili suddenly took out a crystal from her bosom and handed it to Carol: "Thank you very much, and this is for you, as we agreed before."

Carol was suddenly excited, and her face flushed: "This is!!!"

Fili showed a thieving expression like a little fox: "The moment I penetrated Bahamut, I seemed to have touched something and stole it. It might be Bahamut's star core."

The core of the star radiates a deep blue glow and is crystal clear all over.

Serena was the only one present who did not understand the value of the star core. She looked past the star core and stared at Fili's chest. Where did she get such a large star core from?

Carol immediately rushed over and hugged Fili, rubbing her face against hers, extremely happy: "That's too much, how can we use up such a big star core? You actually keep your word! Are you going to give all of these to me? That's amazing, from now on you will be my best friend, no, mother!"

The speech was incoherent and the content left Fili speechless. Just as she was about to take the star core, it was attracted by gravity magic and fell into Hecate's hands.

Carol made a noise of dissatisfaction.

"Don't make a noise. I'm not trying to steal yours. Wait a minute."

A glowing magic book appeared in Hecate's hand. She opened a page and muttered to herself.

"It's too weird and irrational. This so-called Bahamut has changed a lot from the previous one. Judging from the traces of soil and venation lines, there must have been a star beast buried deep underground..."

Carol immediately said seriously: "It must be said that the power of this star beast is unusually strong, far beyond the strength recorded in historical documents. It is impossible for ancient people to have the technology to create such a sealing device. The magic technology thousands of years ago was generally backward."

Hecate did not hide it: "You are right about this. The technology of the ancients was still lacking. The one who sealed the star beast at that time was the current god Arius... Oh, let me explain it myself."

Hecate threw the star core to Carol. After Carol caught it, her face was full of happiness, as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But Fili turned her gaze and looked towards an empty place.

The lights around gathered like fireflies, and Arius walked out of the light.

"Huh?"×4

Arius just appeared and showed a dissatisfied expression when he saw the surprised looks of the four people: "Witch, human, what are you surprised about? And, Hecate, you should know what I really look like, why are you pretending to be surprised?"

Fili quickly put away her surprised expression, and like Carol and Serena, the thought that suddenly occurred to her mind was - "Why not the goddess?"

The gods recorded in Arian records, statues, and religious paintings are all images of goddesses, so holy and beautiful.

Hecate shrugged. "Do you know why I don't like you? You can clearly control this sect but you never do anything, which leads to so many tragedies."

Arius firmly refused: "God should not be bound by humans, and I don't ask anyone to believe in me. I only care about my own cradle. So don't put the sins of those humans on my head. Their troubles have nothing to do with me! Forget it, that's not what I'm talking about."

Arius looked at Fili and couldn't help but admire: "I have to say, I am very surprised by this battle. Another god has been born among the witches... No, what's wrong with you?"

Fili was stunned and felt guilty: "What's the problem?"

Even though the existence of the star beast has been confirmed, the fact that it turned into Bahamut is indeed related to her. The reason is unknown and needs to be investigated, but the casualties caused make Fili feel guilty.

However, this kind of uneasiness was short-lived. After staying in this world for a long time, the values ​​​​became somewhat selfish. Moreover, after bringing in the witch forces, they were naturally opposed to the Arian Church.

Arius hesitated at first, then looked Fili up and down: "Are you real now? Or an illusion?"

Fili snapped her fingers and said, "Don't try to find out my secrets. They are the basis of my livelihood."

Arius nodded. "Anyway, another great witch worthy of the name has been born. I express my gratitude to you for defeating Bahamut."

Fili laughed and said, "It's very subtle to be praised by the living god. I just want to express my gratitude."

Arius held up a ball of light, which formed an hourglass and fell into Fili's hand: "I give you my friendship, and also the power of divine authority. If you encounter a crisis in the future, this hourglass can rewind your life."

Fili's eyes lit up: "You are so polite."

Hecate coughed and said, "Well, it's time for you to explain."

Arius had nothing to say: "There is nothing to say. This star beast fell near my cradle. I helped the humans at that time to seal it."

Serena couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you just get rid of this dangerous thing instead of sealing it up? Now it has brought such a disaster..."

Arius shook his head: "To be honest, I am not good at fighting. I couldn't kill it at that time. Sealing it was the best way. Later, this land was nourished by the extracted magic power of star beasts. It seems that it is fine, so I just leave it alone."

Hecate immediately mocked: "Are you really a god? You can't even control such a thing."

Arius was also very surprised: "I buried it deep under the earth's crust, so it is very strange that the seal was unsealed. I appeared here to ask the hero who defeated Bahamut, Miss Fili, can you please go underground to investigate again?"

Fili felt guilty again and sweat broke out on her forehead: "Yes... yes."

Arius did not suspect Fili: "If I am not mistaken, someone should be summoning the star beast, and then by chance, it was unsealed in advance. Maybe we can still find the spell used by the other party underground."

Fili felt a headache: "The mine has collapsed."

Arius also thought about it: "You can ask the spirit of the earth for help. With her help, you should be able to go underground."

Hecate put her hands on her hips, "Why don't you go yourself?"

Arius waved his hands hastily, frowned and smiled bitterly: "My whole body hurts now."

Arius was actually seriously injured and his divine power was greatly depleted. Now he just wanted to go back to the cradle and lie down to rest.

Then the few of them discussed the commission again. During this time, Hecate kept mocking Arius, and Arius could only accept it with a wry smile without refutation. After the discussion, they left.

Carol said that she had no place to rest recently. Fili thought about it and decisively invited her to stay in the hotel as the nearest base for activities.

After this, the fight over the star beasts continued.

In the first two days, various forces attacked each other, taking advantage of the chaos to get something from the Star Beast. In the next few days, the Arian sect regrouped, a new legion arrived, and a large number of regular troops expelled everyone in the name of protection and investigation, even the civilians who had helped them were asked to leave, and the Star Beast was surrounded again.

This act of eating alone naturally attracted resistance, especially from Orfa, who took the lead in a bloody conflict with the sect. But the sect was no pushover, and two new brave men and five expedition knights began to isolate and blockade the star beasts, and led the legion to capture and kill troublemakers. New miners also arrived one after another to decompose the remains of the star beasts.

In order to warn outside forces, the Arian Church began to execute captured prisoners, hanging and burning them at the stake in the name of justice. Later, when they found that they could not curb the covetousness from outside, they impaled the bodies of the executed people on the roadside as a warning to others.

The severe punishment adopted in the chaotic situation achieved certain results and deterred the weak, but it soon caused a backlash, especially from people like Orfa who did not aim to compete for the star beast materials, they simply attacked the church and destroyed the bodies of the star beasts.

With Orufa's diversionary tactics, other groups also began to attack the sect, and the conflict escalated as the two sides fought for supremacy.

After this situation continued for a week, the number of casualties gradually reached the level of thousands, while the speed of handling the remains of the star beast was less than one-tenth, and there were signs that the conflict continued to escalate.

Fili still wanted to find an opportunity to investigate the mine, but this situation really amazed her. She even felt that if the situation continued to develop, the number of casualties might exceed that of the casualties during the expedition against Bahamut.

Such a conflict naturally made it to Miriam's newspaper. The border did not return to peace after Bahamut was conquered. Instead, it fell into a new round of tension because of the hounds from all over the world who came here to smell the blood.

The surrounding small countries were also eager to take action after seeing the corpse of the star beast. They gathered a joint army and slowly approached, and brought out various explanations to try to prove that the corpse of the star beast was in a neutral area and that everyone who saw it should have a share.

Seeing the current developments, Fili's slight guilt towards the Arian sect gradually faded. The most news she saw in the past few days was how many heretics the Arian Church had executed.

Hecate's mentality was purely to watch the fun and not mind the big deal: "Fight, fight, fight until your heads are broken and bloody. Even though the Arian Church implements justice and protects the people, they are really cruel and ruthless when dealing with foreigners."

Fili put down the newspaper: "Everything has its own unique two sides, and our position with the Arian Church is even more dangerous. But are we just going to watch the remains of the star beast?"

Hecate blinked her eyes and said, "You've already got the star core, but you're still not satisfied? Carol also said that she wants the star core more for research, and she will give you the results of the research when the time comes."

Fili was not interested: "Such a big star beast should have better things, right? For example, I want a set of star beast equipment."

Hecate reached out and tapped Fili's forehead. "If you want, I'll give you some. The characteristics of that star beast are not good. It also has the characteristics of pollution curse, which is different from the star core you took... It's really strange. What's more, what you really need is not equipment, but to improve your magic power. The news about you has spread these two days and it has become a hot topic."

Fili was puzzled: "Me? What's wrong?"

Hecate was speechless for a few seconds: "You really don't know what you have done? You penetrated the body of the star beast with one strike, which brought a huge turning point to the crusade. People outside are also praising your name. The Great Witch Fili has already deserved the title."

Fili sighed, looking confused: "Big Witch? Me?"

Arius had only mentioned it before, but Fili didn't take it seriously at all. Anyone with a discerning eye would naturally know her level, and she was not qualified to be compared with someone like Hecate.

Hecate chuckled and said, "The title of Great Witch is not based on your strength, but on your reputation. How did you get your reputation? After all, defeating the star beasts is to keep disasters out of the country. People will naturally be grateful to you, but you still need to strike while the iron is hot and keep your reputation going for decades or even hundreds of years. When that time comes, people will naturally respectfully call you the Great Witch."

Just as Fili was about to refuse, she heard footsteps outside. Several demon women ran into the room in panic, gasping for breath.

"Lady Hecate, Miss Fili, it's bad! Lucia and Bella were captured by the Arian sect! They, they just wanted to sneak in to collect some materials..."
