Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1140 I was almost tricked by you
The Patriarch of the Church of the God of War? His god's spirit has fallen, but he dared to appear in Loen instead of considering whether to join the Church of Evernight or become a Sealed Item?
Angel was confused at first, and then quickly set up his own "mirror maze" in the spiritual world, making the space, which already had no distinction between up and down, left and right and had its own unique set of operating rules, even more chaotic. Then he waited in place for the "Glory One" to approach.

At this time, she relied on "Death Wings" to enter the spirit world and did not have the ability to move at high speeds, so she could only use this method to cover up her weaknesses.

Of course, Angel was not afraid of this Sequence 2 angel. The two had fought at the border between the two countries where the Amanda Mountains and the Minminsk Mountains met. At that time, the other party was carrying a "0" level seal of the Path of Death, which was quite effective in restraining Angel's plague. The Glory One, who possessed the form of the mythical creature Dusk Giant, was difficult to be killed by the curse, which put Angel in a tough battle for a time.

Fortunately, the killer weapon "Silver Rapier" was of little use to Angel, who had many stand-ins. The two ended up in a draw and never met again.

Now, Larion had lost the god he believed in, while Angel had obtained the "Blood Flag of Salinger", and the combat power of the two was no longer at the same level. This made her even expect the other party to take the initiative so that she could "defend herself".

"If Larion is just passing by, it would be inconvenient for me to take action. Loen is negotiating with Feysac and Intis, and there is hope that the war will end soon. If I beat up the Patriarch of the Church of the God of War who has no God of War, will it cause disputes between the two countries again..."

Angel muttered, his eyes following the tall "Gloria" until the other party entered the range of the "Mirror Maze", wandered around a few times in the spiritual world that suddenly became more chaotic, and flew straight towards him.

Then, an orange-red light emerged from the hand of this angel with white stubble, light blue eyes and a temperament of looking down on everything. A heavy sword over two meters long appeared and slashed towards Angel.

At this time, there were still hundreds of meters between the two of them, but Angel's expression was very solemn, and his figure became illusory as if reflected by the water surface.

The next second, a storm of sword blades that could tear everything apart flew to Angel's original position at an extremely fast speed and destroyed the phantom.

Is this guy crazy? He attacked me, who is considered to be half of the angels of the Goddess Church, in the territory of Loen Kingdom?
Although he was given the opportunity for "self-defense", Angel did not fight back immediately, his mind full of confusion.

She was a little suspicious that this was a trap and that Larion's purpose was just to hold her back and wait for more attackers to arrive.

In the other direction of the "mirror maze", Angel's figure appeared. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the other party had not locked onto him again, he observed carefully and finally found something wrong.

Although Larion's expression was grim, it was filled with an inexplicable madness. His eyes were glaring, his muscles were knotted, and part of his skin had turned into the bluish-gray color of the mythical giants, rather than the healthy white color of the Feysac people.

This guy is really crazy and in a semi-out-of-control state... Is it because the fall of the "God of War" caused great mental trauma to the Beyonders who believed in him on the same path, and after Feysac's defeat, the anchors of these angels inevitably decreased?

Angel thought about it and didn't dare to attack the other party.

This was different from the battle in Trier of the Fourth Epoch that they had entered with the tacit approval of the Eternal Sun and the God of Steam to resolve the out-of-control Fomonda and take away the Sequence 1 characteristics. After all, the other party was the Patriarch of the Church of the God of War, and the Goddess of Night had not yet declared him illegal. It was obvious that she wanted to slowly absorb and digest a large number of believers and accept the surrender of the extraordinary people of the Church of the God of War. As a follower of the goddess, she should always consider the goddess.

If this angel, who looks strong but is actually about to lose control, falls down if touched and dies in his hands, wouldn't that be called "scam"?

The Chinese words that Klein taught her echoed in her mind repeatedly, and Angel asked:
"You don't look well. Do you want to pray to the goddess and get her blessing?"

Although it sounds a bit sarcastic, Angel is indeed thinking about the other party. Chanting the name of the Goddess at this time means changing one's faith and devoting oneself to the Church of Evernight, but it also means being able to alleviate the out-of-control behavior and stabilize one's own state. There may even be hope of survival.

"Do you think I'm like those mythical creatures who don't have a devout faith?"

This persuasion obviously angered the Patriarch, who was looking at this side with the help of the afterimage between Angel's real body and the mirror substitute. The latter roared and was about to swing the heavy sword made of dusk light in his hand again, but stopped at the last moment.

He did not continue to attack, but took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued:

"You won't attack me?"

I said He was here to "scam"... Angel was almost amused by the other party's behavior of crying thief, and he suppressed his mouth and said coldly:

"If this is your wish, I can grant you that."

Larion glanced at Angel with his light blue eyes that were a little frantic, the orange-red blade in his hand dissipated, and he relaxed as if all his strength had been drained away.

"I just came out of Beldan. A very high-level abnormality has occurred in that city. All citizens and passers-by can only enter but not leave, otherwise they will be severely punished."

He pointed in the direction he came from and said.

Beldan? The scene that Sefirah Castle showed me was this city... Could it be that Klein passed by here, but was trapped in this abnormal state, and couldn't return to the gray fog to answer my prayers? Larion's appearance of being on the verge of losing control and obviously consuming a lot of spiritual energy was also caused by forcibly breaking through that blockade? Angel's mind was full of thoughts, and he asked:

"Is it some kind of contamination from a higher level, or is the seal activated?"

"It's probably a Sealed Artifact, but it's of a very high rank, and even angels can't fight it." Larion seemed to be in a much better mental state after he stopped attacking out of stress, and replied calmly, "Many ordinary people and extraordinary people have died under the harsh laws. If you want to save that city, do it as soon as possible."

Strict laws... Why do they sound a bit like the state before the "Dream City"? Angel had a preliminary guess about Beldan's situation and asked:
"What about you? Don't you consider my suggestion just now?"

"Hmph, no need. My faith is unshakable."

Larion replied solemnly.

Angel nodded, stopped trying to persuade him, and turned to the shadow in the spirit world that represented the city of Beldan, wondering whether to leave the spirit world and enter the city from reality, or enter through the spirit world like Larion.

But just as the Patriarch began to move again and the two figures passed each other, Angel saw from the corner of his eye that the other's expression changed slightly.

It was a mocking smile.

No... He is lying! Maybe something is wrong with Beldan, and Klein did not respond to my prayers, but it was not the leakage of the power of the seal as Larion said, but He took the initiative to cause it... He fled Beldan and attacked me when he saw me because he was captured by the Church of Evernight and thought I was a reinforcement!

Angel's brain, which had been working at high speed because of the battle, instantly burst into countless thoughts. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the projection of the "Sword of Glory", turned around and swung out a sword blade mixed with petrifying power, silver-white with a little gray.

This silver-white rapier, which can be instantly "teleported" into the target's body in reality, appears to be in a state of rapid gliding in the spiritual world, and collides with another sword blade cast by the dusk light that reappears in Larion's hand, exploding with a loud bang. Gray-white stone chips and orange-red light fly everywhere, causing the surrounding rich color blocks to shake.

As expected, what He said just now was half true and half false, and the purpose was just to confuse me and make me lose my vigilance... Angel confirmed his guess in his heart, and with his other hand he pulled out an iron-black flagpole taller than himself, letting the blood-stained flag flutter in the spirit world. A majestic aura that made people want to bow down and worship enveloped the two of them, and even spread to the spirit world in the distance.

This caused Larion, who was about to swing another sword, to pause, and his figure was immediately taken in by Angel's eyes. The surging flames of destruction burst out from all parts of his body and burned into a huge torch.

But the body struggling in the flames aged and rotted in an instant, and then completely evaporated.

Angel had seen Larion's ability before. He could actively let his body "decay" and escape various curses and diseases. His true body was wrapped in dusk light that solidified everything and appeared in the spiritual world.

And this is the spirit world!
Swish—behind Angel, two long swords made of orange-red light suddenly slashed down, going in and out of her body countless times, almost submerging her entire figure in the dusk light.

Then the figure became illusory, dragging a shadow and moving quickly nearby, from where Angel's real body reappeared.

In the spiritual world, the mirror double does not move instantly, but changes its position in such a tangible way that people have the opportunity to track its landing point.

Patriarch Larion, holding two swords, followed Angel closely with his eyes, slashing horizontally with one hand and vertically with the other. The fierce sword storm once again surrounded the witch who had just used the mirror substitute.

Swish, swish - a series of dull sounds were heard, and the invisible sword blade was petrified, turning into crescent-shaped stone sculptures that scattered into the depths of the spiritual world. Angel's purple eyes lit up in the stone chips, and the light golden hair behind his head became thick, like poisonous snakes.

Since the battle in the spiritual world is so disadvantageous to her, then "destroy" it!

Of course, Angel didn't have the ability to destroy the entire spirit world. Even the true gods couldn't do that. She just wanted to bring an inevitable "disaster" to the small spirit world where the two of them lived.

As Angel's eyes flickered, the colorful and chaotic scenes of the spiritual world around him became dim, as if they had lost their colors. What followed was a turbulence of time and space that made the spirits tremble.

In just a moment, deep darkness enveloped the spirit world. Larion heard a sharp sound like a mixture of shattering glass, tearing paper, and the howling of evil spirits. Then, everything went black before his eyes, and he left the spirit world and returned to reality, falling into the forest near Beldan.

The next second, the "Salinger Blood Flag" with invisible and colorless flames burning and dangerous blood spots on the flag becoming bright and vivid came smashing towards him.
