Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1087 God’s Container?

On the ground, the entire "City of Exile" Morola has fallen into absolute chaos. All law enforcement teams have shrunk to the city center to protect the entrance to the underground mausoleum and the library-like knowledge church. After smashing, looting and burning in the streets and venting their long-accumulated anger, almost all the exiles who participated in the riots began to gather in the church square.

"It's already more than 20,000 people... maybe close to 30,000. The square is almost full..."

William looked down from the top of the church with a monocular telescope, quickly calculated the approximate number of the mob, and said to Tia beside him.

The latter stroked a crystal-like talisman, sensing that the specially marked mirrors she had originally arranged near the square had lost contact one by one in the riot, and her expression became more and more anxious.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop," she said to Heraberg, who was also standing by the window with a calm expression, "If this riot continues to develop, it may destroy the entire city."

The old man, who was holding the book in one hand and had the other hand behind his back, did not say anything. He just smiled slightly and shook his head, as if to say "this is absolutely impossible."

But in the square below, the limited number of law enforcement officers had been surrounded by a mob that was dozens of times their number. The situation was precarious, and William and Tia did not believe that the Church of Knowledge could hold out for too long, until the moment Elaine returned to the ground.

At this moment, some subtle changes occurred on the battlefield below.

Originally, most of the exiles did not want to lose their lives in the riots. They just instigated their companions to attack the law enforcers so that they could take the opportunity to gain some benefits. It would be best if they could drive the Church of Knowledge out of the city and no longer be bound by rules and regulations.

But suddenly, a strong desire to fight surged in the hearts of these exiles with ulterior motives. Their timid steps became firm, and they rushed fearlessly towards the black-robed law enforcers who were fully armed and had combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The law enforcers who had been relatively restrained and focused on defense before no longer held back. A considerable number of them were already Extraordinary People, and there were even mid-Sequence Hunters, Prisoners, and Warriors. Flames, frost, and morning light exploded in the crowd, and the smell of burning and blood gradually filled the square.

In the highest room of the church, William and Tia looked at the sudden changes on the battlefield below in surprise, and then looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

But the next second, the doubt in Tia's dark gray eyes turned into horror, her moist lips opened wide, pointing at William's neck and exclaimed:

"Your neck is bleeding!"

At the same time, William also felt a sharp pain in his neck. His head seemed to be pulled upward by an invisible hand. Even his cervical vertebrae made cracking sounds and were almost torn apart.

He pressed one hand on his head to protect it and covered his neck with the other hand. He felt the sticky blood oozing out from between his fingers. His breathing became gradually difficult and his vision became dim as if he was losing blood.

At this time, Heraberg reached out his hand to touch the top of his head and pressed lightly. With a click, William's head, which was about to tear muscles and break cervical vertebrae and leave the body, returned to its original position, and the pulling force disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that you have read a lot of books with your captain. This is a good habit. Knowledge is useful at any time."

He said in a relieved tone, coming to the window and looking at the square below.

Among the mob, whose number has exceeded 30,000, many have shown similar situations to William. Most of them are "old residents" who have stayed in Morola for many years and have gradually been polluted.

The same situation is also spreading rapidly among the law enforcement team composed of "experimental personnel".

Swah——

The first head that left the body appeared. It flew up with a white spine that was slightly bloodshot, rising into the sky on its own. Its headless body chased the head below, knocking away one exile after another who were covering their necks and pressing their heads.

Swish, swish, more heads flew into the sky.

Watching this scene, the corners of Heraberg's mouth were still slightly upturned, as if he was smiling, but his amber eyes were cold.

Suddenly, his eyes turned as dark as the night, and a breath of tranquility emanated from him, passed through the window, and sprinkled on the square below, darkening the entire sky, including the clouds that were gradually gathering and appearing to be on fire.

In the church square, whether it was the headless body chasing the head, or the increasingly brutal mob that disregarded life and death, or even the law enforcers who were under unified command and had a tendency to turn defense into offense, their movements became slow, as if they were about to fall asleep in the quiet atmosphere.

----

In the underground mausoleum, inside a special mirror world.

The moment she opened her eyes and locked onto the positions of the other two enemies, Elaine distanced herself from them, used the witch's "Invisibility" to disappear from their sight, and at the same time spread high-temperature resistant pathogens. The "Rose Necklace" also quietly switched to the soul of the "Law Mage".

Not knowing whether the two would prioritize dealing with her, she could only prepare to fight one against two.

Compared to the "reaper" Gu Xin, who is somehow able to control the underground mausoleum soldiers but is alone at this time, he pulls everyone into the mirror world. Lisa, who has a calm expression and wears a strange ring, is more worthy of her vigilance.

Perhaps, she is the strongest among the three... Elaine thought about it and quietly stepped back a few steps, wanting Gu Xin to "taste" the power of the witch of pain first.

But Gu Xin's attention was not on Elaine at all. He just glanced at Lisa standing among the corpses and showed horror on his face. He shouted at the place where Elaine disappeared:

"That ring! She is the divine vessel of the 'Original Witch'!"

God descends...what the hell?
Elaine's brain froze for a moment before she understood the meaning of the word Gu Xin said.

This means that Lisa may have the power of the true God at the top of the "Witch" path!
Even if it was only one percent or one thousandth, that was still the status of a true God, and it was definitely not something that she and Gu Xin, two mid-sequence extraordinary beings who were not even demigods, could deal with.

But a question immediately popped up in her mind:
If Lisa really possessed such power, would she have been beaten and fled last time?

Either there was a limit on the number of uses, or the side effects were so severe that she was reluctant to use it even if her life was in danger, until she entered the underground mausoleum and came to the core of the seal... Elaine seemed to have realized something, and her eyes fell on the sapphire ring on Lisa's finger, guessing that this item was the key to "God's Descent".

Before she could make any further move, the sapphire drew an elegant arc. Lisa raised her left hand high, smiling, with a bright and generous look between her eyebrows, which made Elaine, who was invisible, unable to take his eyes off Gu Xin, who had just blurted out the last word of the shout.

Immediately, a huge meteorite with a tail of flame appeared above the three people's heads, and it was in a red-hot state. It smashed towards the wilderness full of corpses and puppets at a very fast speed, and smashed towards the position of Elaine and Gu Xin. In this special mirror world, the witch's invisibility has no effect on Lisa at all!
Elaine, who understood this in an instant, no longer hid her figure. Instead, she raised her right hand and pointed at the meteorite falling rapidly in the sky, and announced in ancient Hermes:
"Meteorites are prohibited from falling here!"

This kind of clearly targeted ban usually has an immediate effect, but the unstoppable meteorite showed no reaction at all and continued to accelerate towards the ground.

The "Lawmaster" is Sequence 4... Could it be that this witch has surpassed this level and even reached the status of an angel just by using the sapphire ring? The "Original Witch" should not have descended yet... Elaine's expression froze. Seeing that the meteorite was unstoppable, she immediately turned her target to Lisa herself. A spear that combined the black and white flames of the witch and the hunter took shape in an instant and was thrown at her.

But the next second, the burning meteorite fell to the ground, and flames, dust and shock waves instantly swept across the entire wilderness, drowning the figures of Elaine and Gu Xin.

Lisa was still standing there. The impact and high temperature passed by her, only lifting her skirt and making her long black hair dance like a poisonous snake. The pitch-black flaming spear lost control and failed to hit the witch.

In her sight, the flames gradually died down, and a molten crater appeared on the dusty wasteland.

Farther away, pieces of crimson scales as red as moonlight turned into human form, and Elaine's pale figure appeared; at the other end of the crater, Gu Xin was burning with flames all over his body, his limbs were still intact, but a small metal doll in his arms had broken into several sections and fell to the ground.

At the moment the meteorite fell, Elaine switched the necklace to the soul of the "Crimson Scholar" and used "moonlight" instead of a mirror substitute to avoid the explosion.

This was the right choice based on her spiritual intuition, because at the moment of the explosion, she found that all the mirrors she carried with her and secretly threw at other places were locked by Lisa. Even the magic mirrors that were stained with her blood and had mystical connections could not be used. If she relied on these mirrors as a substitute, she would have been killed by the explosion just now!
This is the witch's high-level suppression. Under that ring, the dual channels that I thought were powerful enough are simply a joke... Her thoughts raced in her mind, and her eyes swept to Gu Xin who had also avoided the meteorite explosion.

The "reaper" who escaped the disaster by using a disposable substitute doll did not wait for the flames on his body to go out. He half-closed his eyes and recited in ancient Hermetic language at a very fast speed:
"The great god of war, the symbol of iron and blood, the master of turmoil and strife..."

As he pronounced the three-part honorific name, the entire special mirror world seemed to become dim, and even the flames caused by the meteorite explosion shook, as if some great existence was about to descend here.

Lisa raised her left hand again, ready to summon the second meteorite. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Xin curiously. Her eyes were as innocent as a child's, as if she was expecting something.

……

In Elaine's expectant eyes and Lisa's deliberate waiting, nothing happened.

The most surprised one was Gu Xin, who raised his arms as if to welcome the arrival of some being. He had a dull expression and looked around, not knowing whether he should put down his raised hands.

"How about I give you some time to read it again?"

Lisa's voice became increasingly sweet and playful, causing Gu Xin's face to turn completely pale, losing all its color.

Only then did he realize that he was just an abandoned pawn of that great being, a tool like the countless exiles he had sent out to explore the mausoleum.

The power to control the puppets and avoid contamination is just the money he pays for his life.

No wonder Iris Medici looked at me for the last time as if she was saying goodbye... His mouth was dry and there was no light in his eyes anymore.

"Ha ha……"

Amid Lisa's low, heart-wrenching and desperate laughter, the second meteorite appeared again in the sky above the mirror world, smashing towards the ground with the same tail of flame.

Then the third, the fourth...

Five meteorites fell one after another. This time, even if Elaine turned herself into moonlight, she could not avoid the explosion that would completely cover the entire space.

Looking at the flames that almost filled the sky, the ruby ​​on Elaine's chest kept flashing, sometimes revealing deep blue, sometimes containing lava. Various abilities flashed quickly in her mind, but none of them could solve these meteorites that were most likely brought by the witch with angel status and save her life.

Unless I can escape from this mirror world... That's right!
Elaine's eyes lit up, then turned dark gold, and the "rose necklace" around her neck also emitted the same light.

"Lawmaster", "Deprivation"!
She pointed forward, her eyes fixed on Lisa's charming and seductive body, and shouted in ancient Hermetic language.

It's useless. The power of "Disaster" comes from the original gift, from this ring which is equivalent to a "0" level seal. It cannot be affected by you and that necklace... Lisa squinted at Elaine who was struggling in vain. Hatred rose in her heart again. She had already imagined what the other party would look like after being burned into a charred corpse by the successive high temperatures and shock waves. A sense of sadistic pleasure arose spontaneously.

But then, she discovered that the special mirror world that was originally dark and illuminated by the fire of the meteorite suddenly became bright, as if the outside was being burned, and invisible flames poured into this space from all directions, almost breaking it.

Impossible... Is this special mirror world about to collapse?

Lisa's eyes widened slightly, and then she immediately understood the problem.

Her ability to control the "mirror world" was taken away by Elaine!

This was not a gift from the original witch, nor did it involve her angelic status. It was just that with the enhancement of the sapphire ring, she, who was originally only a witch of "pain", could possess the ability of "despair" in advance.

When the "Blood Flag of Salinger" on the outside was touched by the fire set by Elaine before and began to spontaneously try to conquer this mirror world, Lisa lost this ability, which was equivalent to giving up control of it.

The invisible flames that gradually poured in from everywhere destroyed the barrier between the real world and the mirror world, completely destroying this space.

There was a creaking sound of glass being crushed, and the mountains of corpses, burning meteorites and vast wilderness in front of Elaine, Gu Xin and Lisa appeared like a broken mirror with countless cracks, shattered quickly, and then replaced by another scene.

It was a platform at the top of a mountain covered with fog that blocked off the spirit and vision, and was built with countless corpses. Invisible flames emerged and extinguished from the corpses. In the center of the crowd, a two or three meter high iron-black metal pole stood upright in the middle, with a burnt flag hanging on the top. There were a lot of dark red and black blood spots on the flag, and traces of blood.

That is the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" path, the level 01 seal numbered "0", the "Blood Flag of Salinger" that controls Morola and is sealed by Morola.
