Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1162 Rebirth and Death

As early as when various extraordinary creatures rushed towards Bernadette and Anne, Klein felt something was wrong. He carefully observed the flying dragons, giants, and demon wolves with the real vision brought by the prayer light spot, and found that their skin was pale, their limbs were stiff, and some parts were even rotten. They were like zombies controlled by humans, but they did not have the death breath of the undead. Instead, they had a strong vitality.

Those rotten parts do not seem to be caused by microbial erosion after death, but are a phenomenon caused by overgrowth!
Combining the "Great Mother" that Nast believes in, the "Immortal" in the honorific name of the "Fallen Mother Goddess", and the two paths symbolized by the "Mother's Nest" she possesses, the abilities possessed by the "Mother" and the "Moon", he also had some guesses about the problems existing on this island.

Now that he heard Angel's words, Klein no longer hesitated. He pulled out a roughly cut paper figure, shook it casually, and threw it into the circle of light formed by Bernadette's prayer.

With a swish, the paper man expanded in the air, became larger and thicker, and formed the holy angel that he had bestowed blessings on in the past. It shook twelve pairs of illusory wings behind it, and fell into the prayer image with the dancing white feathers.

This paper angel does not have the usual blessing power or the aura of "Source Castle" that can resist divination and prophecy, but instead contains an uncommon ability: historical pore image.

Under the golden beams that kept streaking across the sky, Anne, who was about to rebuild the "balance" of the battlefield, suddenly changed her expression and rushed to Bernadette, who was summoning invisible servants to take the "0" level seal.

At the same time, from the depths of the island came again the kind of heart-pounding "tide" that seemed to be transmitted quickly through the void. The surrounding leaves rustled, and the extraordinary creatures killed by artillery fire were resurrected again and gained a "new life". Even the giant trees that several people could hardly hug came "alive", pulled out their roots, waved their branches, and followed the extraordinary creatures to rush towards the two.

And when the invisible tide passed over the two of them, Bernadette, who was about to take a pale mask with a metallic luster from the servant with a human upper body and a vortex of air flow lower body, froze all over and immediately realized that something was wrong with her body.

Her body became lighter, her vision and hearing were significantly improved, and she seemed a lot younger.

But this did not make her feel secretly happy, instead, an inexplicable fear surged in her heart.

That was the physical change that occurred when she fought Nast last time, due to an accident that she had forgotten.

Snap, Anne's hand suddenly grabbed her wrist. Countless obscure and complex runes had already appeared on the body of this black-haired, golden-eyed "Balancer". At this moment, some of them were transmitted to Bernadette through physical contact, making her feeling of "rebirth" disappear without a trace. Her whole body became heavy, but her heart was relieved a lot.

"Be careful, it's... the pollution from the 'Great Mother'."

Anne reminded.

The evil god whose power even exceeds that of the true God, His pollution seems to come from the "starry sky"... Have I forgotten something important... Countless thoughts flashed through Bernadette's mind, and soon she realized that the best force to fight against "rebirth" was "death". Without hesitation, she snatched the metal mask from the servant's hand, whose expression had changed and seemed to be polluted, and put it on her face.

This is the "Pale Death" with the most difficult negative effects to deal with among the three level 0 seals she owns. It will cause the wearer to quickly lose his or her life, move towards the inevitable death, and eventually become its slave.

By utilizing this power, Bernadette can not only fight against the pollution of the "newborn tide" on herself, but also make all the creatures she sees die together!
Behind the mask with only holes for the eyes, her blue eyes turned dark, and her cold gaze swept over the densely packed trees, red dragons, and magic wolves, instantly slowing down their movements and almost stopping them. The restless roars and rustling of branches stopped immediately, and the whole forest seemed to be returning to its previous grave-like silence.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Anne also stretched out her right hand, palm facing outward, and said in the majestic ancient Hermetic language:
"Resurrection of the dead is forbidden here!"

She wants to put those extraordinary creatures into eternal sleep.

At this moment, the "newborn tide" once again surged out from the depths of the island, sweeping over the creatures that were about to "die" and sweeping over the location where the two were.

Along with it came a force that distorted order and thoughts. It came from a being that had been observing the battlefield. Its status was not high, not even as high as that of the angel Anne, but the timing of its intervention was so clever that it could change the current situation with very little power.

It changes Anne's ban on the "dead" to target creatures that have been dead for more than an hour, and allows Bernadette to bring equal death to all creatures within sight, first targeting invisible microorganisms, and then extraordinary creatures in a macroscopic sense.

Rustle, rustle—the giant tree that had fallen into death and had begun to wither branches resurrected, and the demon wolves and giants that had been lying on the ground in a stiff posture also resurrected, and they once again rushed towards the two of them like crazy.

Bernadette suddenly had a bad premonition. Her "Master of Prophecy" instinct told her not to let those creatures get close to her and Anne, otherwise something terrible would happen.

The thought flashed through her mind, and she no longer cared about the dangers of "Pale Death". She stretched out her hand and ran her finger across the center of the metal mask. The pale mask that shone with metallic luster suddenly became soft, and squirmed rapidly, revealing a face that was completely inconsistent with her, with obvious features of the southern continent.

At this moment, white feathers with golden light suddenly fell from her head, and a holy angel with twelve pairs of wings on its back suddenly descended. All the creatures who saw the figure of the angel, whether it was Anne and Bernadette, or the various monsters that pounced on them, paused for a moment, and their minds became blank, as if they had been fooled, or a little time had been stolen from them.

Amid the falling white feathers, the paper angel quickly grabbed Angel's projection in the mist of history beside her, and the latter was used as a mirror substitute by the original body, exchanging positions with her far away in the southern continent.

Under this magic trick, "the messenger of disaster and eternal night, the queen of the five seas and archipelagos, the judge of disease and dispute" descended into this sea area.

Angel had already figured out the current situation above the gray fog, and without any hesitation, she included Anne and Bernadette, who were very familiar to her, into her team. Then she clenched her left hand, and an iron-black metal flagpole appeared in her palm. A blood-stained flag fluttered above her head, and dangerous blood spots appeared on the flag.

Some of the extraordinary creatures under her feet seemed to be controlled by the "new" power. They were obsessed with the beauty and charm of the witch angel in the sky, and some were inspired by the blood flag she held and joined the enemy's legion. Although those farther away were less affected, they were blocked by the traitors in front. The red dragon collided with the black wolf, the giant was tripped by a tree root and fell to the ground, and the team charging towards Anne and Bernadette was suddenly plunged into chaos.

Hidden deep in the island, the pair of eyes that had been watching the battlefield narrowed tightly, and the distorted force reappeared, trying to restore order to the chaotic battlefield.

Anne, who had been prepared, was about to stop all this with a "ban", but Angel's equally majestic voice came from above her head:

“It is a sin to twist the will of others here.

"The guilty should be punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the force that tried to distort the power of "conquest" and restore the battlefield affected by the "Blood Flag of Salinger" to normal disappeared.

She used the power of "connection" to borrow my ability... As expected, it was Nestor who was hiding in the dark. He seemed to have received some kind of gift, the gray power between the black chaos and the white order... Anne seemed to understand something, and looked up at Angel, who was floating among the white feathers that had not yet dispersed, holding a blood-stained flag in one hand and holding the other hand high, as if she had seen the angel of war and destruction.

Swish, the angel raised his right hand and swung it down. Meteorites whistled down, burning in flames and smashed into the island. On the coast, huge waves more than ten meters high swept in, bypassing the "Dawn" and the "Queen Anne's Revenge" and swallowing up the "Black Emperor". Bottomless cracks appeared on the ground in the vibration, dividing the battlefield and burying the unprepared extraordinary creatures.

In this devastating disaster, the "new tide" deep in the island reappeared, and a cold wind blew over, establishing an invisible connection with the extraordinary creatures that had just died.

This invisible connection points to a black stone pillar in the distance. It is about forty meters high, pointed at the top and wide at the bottom, with many circular protrusions on its surface.

That kind of "new" power spreads regularly with it as its center.

It's now!

In Angel's eyes, pale spots of light representing weaknesses flickered inside the bodies of those dead and resurrected dragons, demon wolves and tree monsters. Destroying them would mean the death of the extraordinary creatures themselves, and their death would mean the demise of the power that spread the "New Tide"!
Soon, these newly resurrected creatures fell in meteorites, earthquakes, died from plague, or turned into hard stone statues.

Grabbing the black stone pillar to release the power of "rebirth", the moment she exposed herself, Angel's plague and petrification power destroyed all the extraordinary creatures she locked onto, and used their mystical connection with the stone pillar to pass on the power of destruction.

With a crisp sound, the deep black color on the surface of the stone pillar faded and turned into a dead gray. Spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly, and the thick base that could hold five or six people together let out a wail under the heavy load and collapsed to one side. The huge stone pillar smashed into the corpses of the creatures kneeling around it, stirring up dust all over the sky.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence. Meteorites no longer fell from the sky, and earthquakes and tsunamis also stopped. The giant trees that had uprooted themselves fell to the ground, crushing the giant dragons and demon wolves that were also motionless.

Their corpses quickly rotted and weathered, and a deep red breath that was imperceptible to the naked eye emerged and drifted towards the depths of the island following the guidance of some force.

There was a huge mountain with all the nearby trees cut down and half of the mountain hollowed out. In the belly of the mountain, stood a black mausoleum that was integrated with the mountain itself.

It was the mausoleum of the "Black Emperor" that was secretly built by Russell Gustav on this island, engraved with his countless inventions, the social customs he founded, and the laws he formulated.
