Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1089: Killing
The Church of Knowledge is located on top of the church in the center of Moroula City.

The square below, which was filled with exiles and law enforcers, presented a strange scene. The mob, numbering more than 30,000, leaned against the walls and tree roots, and even fell asleep while crowded together, making the battlefield filled with blood and black smoke become extremely harmonious, which stunned William and Tia who were looking out of the window.

They could guess that all this was caused by Archbishop Heraberg, but they had no idea what power he used and why he did not stop the riot at the beginning.

As if sensing the doubts in the two people's hearts, Heraberg smiled and said in a warm tone that seemed to never change:

"This can only temporarily restrict them and the seal underground. The final outcome of the entire city depends on the outcome of the battle in the underground mausoleum."

I feel like you alone can handle all the people in the "City of Exile"... William was thinking, and just as he was about to speak, the archbishop in front of him asked again:
"I'm curious, if your captain is in danger underground, and your help might increase her chances of survival, would you risk saving her?"

What does this mean? Some kind of test? Regardless of whether or not you would be willing to do this if you really encountered such a thing, there is only one verbal answer... Tia's thoughts raced, and just as she was about to nod, William, with a serious expression, had already answered:

"It will depend on my success rate after joining. If I can provide great help, then it will be worth risking my life. If dying together will hardly change the outcome, then I will be more rational and choose to give up and keep my strength to avenge her."

This idiot is too honest. The archbishop was just asking. Shouldn’t he agree readily and show his determination? Tia opened her eyes wide and looked at William, wondering what medicine her good friend had taken wrong today.

But when she turned her gaze back to Heraberg, she found a satisfied smile on his face.

"You are honest and wise. Have you ever considered joining the Church of Knowledge?"

Seeing William shaking his head without hesitation, he smiled and stopped persuading him. He turned his gaze back to the window, looking at the Morola exiles who had fallen into a deep sleep and were influencing the activity of the underground "0-01".

Suddenly, the suppressed aura from underground that made people want to surrender and kneel down surged to the ground again, waking up more than 30,000 sleeping people like a stimulant, and the square fell into chaos again.

Not only that, in the cemetery behind the church, skeletons that were buried deep underground crawled out, with dark red or pale light flashing in their eye sockets, and they were running or crawling and wriggling, gathering towards the church square.

The revival of the "Blood Flag of Salinger" has deepened again!
----

The top of the mountain of corpses in the underground mausoleum.

The same "resurrection of the dead" as in the church cemetery also occurred on this mountain made up of countless corpses and bones. With "0-01" as the center, the corpses that had long lost their lives and had been lying here for who knows how many years shook their heads, stretched their limbs and slowly climbed up, with their eyes burning with flames of different colors looking towards the three people present.

These puppets, which had long belonged to the Blood Flag of Salinger, spontaneously prepared to eliminate the three "intruders".

At this moment, Lisa had just merged into the sapphire ring, and her captivating eyes looked at Elaine and Gu Xin. The colorless flames burning around them kept extinguishing and reappearing, causing the iron-black flagpole to sway more and more, as if it would break away from the base made of corpses and gain true freedom in the next moment.

This chaotic scene was covered by an ever-expanding gray-white color. The puppets rushing towards Lisa, the corpses crawling from the ground, and even the originally invisible and colorless transparent fire were all stained with a gray-white color like the rough surface of stone.

It’s… “petrification”!
Elaine, who had seen Miss Angelica fight, immediately recognized the power represented by this terrifying color. Without any hope of luck, she switched the rose necklace to the "Crimson Scholar" soul, allowing herself to begin to turn into pieces of moonlight-like red scales. The magic mirror in her arms also began to connect to the mirror world. She was prepared to use multiple plans at the same time to avoid this gray and white area and run as far as she could.

But before the outline of her body disappeared, her entire body froze completely. Her body, clothes, and even her flaming red hair turned into stone and lost their color.

Before this, Gu Xin, who was closer to Lisa, had already turned into a gray-white stone statue burning with gray-white flames. His soldier puppets also became stone statues holding weapons and maintaining a forward posture among the countless dancing corpse stone statues.

Except for the charred and bloody flag of "Salinger Blood Flag", the entire hall of corpses became part of the stone sculpture made by the "Original Witch".

A trace of regret flashed through her black pupilless eyes. "Lisa"'s gaze left the petrified Elaine, without even glancing at Gu Xin, and turned back to look at the still fluttering flag.

It seemed to be struggling against the power of the "Original Witch" and was unwilling to surrender.

"Still hate me? I had no choice at that time..."

"Lisa" suddenly spoke in a tone that did not belong to her at all, with a tone that contained a charm and ambiguity that made the stone statues on the mountain turn around, and the sadness in her eyes almost took shape.

As if in response to her, the shaking amplitude of "0-01" suddenly intensified, and the mountain, which had completely turned into a gray-white stone statue, shook violently. The mottled stones on the surface shattered one after another, revealing transparent flames underneath and more corpses with burning eye sockets.

They desperately climbed over their petrified companions and pounced on "Lisa". At the same time, the stone statue of "Count" Guxin also exploded, and the armor-like stones peeled off, revealing the body burning with blue flames underneath.

There was a flag-like blood-red symbol on his forehead, his eyes were spewing flames, and he opened his bottomless mouth and let out a roar that was not like a human voice. He broke free from the shackles of "petrification" and crashed into "Lisa".

In order to stop the witch in front of him, "0-01", who had partially escaped from the seal, chose Gu Xin, who had a familiar breath in his body, and made him his agent.

As long as this position is not vacant, no one else can expect to gain its real recognition!
"Lisa", who understood this, felt her body rapidly collapsing under the enormous divine power. She fixed her eyes again on Gu Xin, who had come back to life and had long lost his self. She was about to bring real disaster and destruction to him and get rid of this useless agent.

But at this moment, the space between the two of them shattered like a mirror, and a figure quickly emerged. She had flying red hair, and was more graceful than before. Her face, which seemed to express different ages and different beauty at the same time, turned to Lisa and smiled.

She is Elaine Soren, who also came back from the dead.

At this moment, even Lisa, who was already in a state of divine descent and possessed part of the consciousness of the "Original Witch", showed some surprise.

But she immediately determined that the person in front of her had merely obtained the power of the Immortal Witch as a "gift" and was resurrected from the mirror.

This state of gaining Sequence 5 power with a Sequence 3 body is extremely unstable and can be easily destroyed by a "disaster", so Lisa's eyes moved from the flaming Gu Xin to Elaine, immediately triggering all the conflicting and unfused powers in her body, putting her in danger of losing control.

But before this "disaster" broke out completely, the dressing mirror that Elaine placed on her chest, which was completely exposed, emitted an orange-red light and a breath that could kill all living things.

The former shot straight at Lisa, causing the gray and white around her and the "disaster" in her eyes to slow down and almost stop; the latter blocked in front of more crawling corpses and Gu Xin who had resurrected from the dead and became an agent, causing them to stop in their steps, lower their heads, and lose control.

At this second, Elaine's magic mirror connected to another mirror in an underground memorial hall of a certain city, allowing the power of "The Glory" and "Archon of Death" to briefly appear in the underground mausoleum.

Affected by these two different yet similar and interconnected forces, the fog near the ceiling dispersed again, and the deep "darkness" that had been seeping into the mausoleum from the ground reappeared and fell towards the constantly shaking blood flag of Salinger.

Blocked for a moment by the power of "Dusk", Lisa's sight that brought destruction and disaster failed to capture Elaine who quickly flashed to the side, but instead fell on Gu Xin who was shrouded in "death" and unable to move for a while.

The hunter, who was full of contradictions both physically and mentally and was temporarily used as an agent by "0-01", had his blue flame extinguished in an instant. His corpse, covered in smoke, fell to the ground and returned to the arms of death again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Elaine rushed to Lisa at an extremely fast speed, reached out and grabbed the magic mirror on her chest, and pressed the mirror with black edges and alternating orange and black inside against her chest.

Sharp silver-white light immediately burst out from all parts of Lisa's body, tearing the body into countless small pieces.

They lost their support and collapsed to the ground, quickly turning into a pool of pus that could not be identified, and then seeped into the mountain formed by corpses.

Before being killed by the "Silver Rapier", her physical and spiritual bodies as a vessel for God's descent had already collapsed, and the power of the "Original Witch" also left her body.

"Ha ha……"

A soft laugh sounded in the ears of Elaine and Angel on the other side of the mirror, full of temptation and making people imagine endlessly.

----

Ground floor, Church Square.

The corpses that kept crawling out of the cemetery and pouring into the square, crowded together with the crazy exiles, attacking everyone indiscriminately, lost their second life one by one and fell to the ground. The strength to pull the necks of the more contaminated exiles also disappeared unknowingly.

The exiles, who were originally filled with violence and vowed to overthrow the rule of the Church of Knowledge, came to their senses. Most of them were now full of confusion, not knowing how they had participated in this riot and why they had all gathered in the square.

In the room at the top of the church, Archbishop Heraberg's amber eyes swept through the crowd below and landed on the entrance to the underground mausoleum in the cemetery.

A figure slowly walked out from underground. The flag-like symbol on her forehead was slowly merging into her skin. In one hand she held a lantern, and in the other she held an extraordinary characteristic that looked like a withered heart.
