Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1192 Christmona

The woman in white robe and black hair had delicate features and perfect matching as Angel remembered, and a holy temperament like Viev whom he had just met, but her crystal blue eyes were cold and lifeless, and her expression was more lifeless than dull, just like the corpse in the tomb next to her.

She, no, He is Crismena, the "disaster" witch who died in Trier during the War of the Four Emperors!
The angel's residual soul appeared silently, and Angel's hearing and spirituality did not notice anything. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the other party had no ill intentions, otherwise the spirituality would have reminded him to some extent.

"Ms. Christine?"

Angel stood there, an arm's length away from the black-haired woman, almost face to face, and spoke tentatively.

In order to prevent this old antique from the Fourth Epoch from not understanding, she deliberately used the ancient Hermetic language.

The black-haired woman's sapphire eyes stared at Angel steadily, and gradually glowed inside, just like when Angel used his eyes as a mirror for divination.

After a moment, He nodded slowly and replied in a vague but infinitely tempting voice:

"it's me."

It really is the ghost of the disaster witch. His holiness becomes more prominent when he becomes like this. Even an ordinary saint would be addicted to this kind of charm. Fortunately, I am also a witch... Angel's thoughts raced as he looked at Christine, whose edges were a little fuzzy and whose body was faintly visible through the fake candlelight. He felt as if he was performing some special "spiritual" ritual.

So she quickly picked out a relatively simple question that would confirm the other person's honesty:
"Are you the son of the 'Original Witch'?"

Christine still maintained her dull expression and nodded slightly.

"I'm."

"What about your father?" Angel asked.

This question caused his expression to change instantly, he looked a little melancholy and nostalgic.

"My father is Alistair Tudor." Christa finally answered with a sigh.

Sure enough, the secrets recorded in the emperor's diary were true... Angel secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked jokingly:

"What is it like to be the daughter of two true gods?"

The ethereal figure shook his head and said in a less dull tone:

"Because of the inheritance of extraordinary characteristics, I was born a complete mythical creature. Later, I gradually gained humanity through contact with other people. I did not go through the kind of 'experience' you mentioned."

Angel, who had learned from Roselle that the other party was born an angel, nodded and asked tentatively:
"Why didn't your fellow brother Judith, who is now also a disaster witch, receive this 'granting'?"

She had always been somewhat curious about why one of the twins or brothers and sisters was born a mythical creature, while the other only inherited the Beyonder characteristics of Sequence 9.

Of course, Angel had many more important questions in her mind, but now she found that Christine was very cooperative, so she naturally chose to communicate step by step rather than interrogating her, so as not to arouse the other party's disgust.

As expected, the light-hearted topic and Angel's natural charm gradually softened the expression of Christine, who was also a "disaster" witch, and she replied in a gentle tone:

"Yuris's Beyonder traits came from his father. When he first became a 'Red Priest', his father used the birth of his offspring to expel many Beyonder traits in order to reduce the madness in his body. By the time he had intercourse with my mother, he didn't have many 'extra' Beyonder traits, so he only gave Yuris the trait of 'Hunter'."

I see... Is Yuris the name of the "Gray Witch" Judith when she was a man? Except for Chike, these witches who turned from men to women like to use the feminine version of their old names... Wait, it's a hunter instead of an assassin?

Angel said "hmm" and asked in confusion:
"Didn't He become a female when He was promoted to a 'witch'?"

Christine shook her head slightly and said:

"At the time of my death, he was still the 'War Bishop'."

In other words, Yuris became Judith when he was promoted to an angel? Considering the time, it is possible that He used his sister's Beyonder characteristics. That would be a hell of a joke... Angel complained in his heart and asked the first important question:
"What happened when you fell? I heard that it was not due to the Four Emperors' War itself, but the betrayal of someone close to you?"

She was worried that saying "you were killed by your own mother" would stimulate the emotionally unstable soul, so she used a more euphemistic statement.

But this still made the originally indifferent face of Christine appear a little bloody, representing anger, and her ethereal, soft voice also carried a hint of depression and pain:
"It's the mother... He hates the confused and miserable female 'witches' who haven't undergone gender change, and he is also on guard against them."

So Chick killed his daughter who was born a female witch? This is too... Angel was stunned. She couldn't understand why the original witch killed her own child just for this reason. After all, in the history she knew, the personality of this god in the Fourth Epoch was still normal. By the way, there should be a period of time between the birth of Crismauna and the Four Emperors War, at least enough for Yuris, who was a Sequence 9, to be promoted to Sequence 3. If Chick wanted to take action against his daughter, why did he wait until then? Was he worried that Tudor, her father, would object?

More questions popped up in Angel's mind, and she said carefully:

"If that was the case, Chick could have solved this problem when you were still an infant, rather than waiting until the war, which would not only result in the loss of an angel, but also the possibility of a quarrel with Alistair Tudor."

"No, it's not like that." Christmena shook her head. The anger and pain on her face disappeared, and she became quiet and gentle again. "At first, my mother was not so extreme. Although she believed that every witch should go through that and become mature, she did not hate me because I was born a female witch. I can feel her love for me and Yuris, or... a strong possessiveness.

"He wants me to take over the management of the family. He wants Yuris to take over the power that slipped through my father's fingers instead of his useless brothers. It is an extra favor from Him that my father's other descendants can stay alive, not to mention that they can inherit anything."

Other offspring refer to those born to Tudor and other women... His daughter's evaluation is very accurate. What kind of horrible possessiveness is this... Angel smacked his lips, but there was a faint expectation in his heart. He asked:
"and then?"

"Until the outbreak of the Four Emperors' War, everything went haywire. The Death God Salinger wanted to attack the seven gods who supported the Night Emperor. The Black Emperor Solomon wanted to avenge the six gods who buried his empire, and he was eyeing his father covetously. The Night Emperor Trunsoest became very ill for some reason, and he turned against the Seven Gods, especially the God of War. It was said that it was because of his wife, the Blood Moon Queen..."

Christine seemed to be lost in her memories, her eyes lowered, and she spoke in a delirious tone.

"After Mr. Men was exiled and Antigonus became half-mad, my father fell into a disadvantage in the confrontation with the gods on the battlefield. He tried to use some method to attract the power of the 'source' to intimidate the gods, but ultimately failed..."

This is consistent with what Bethel Abraham and Antigonus said, but aren't most of the source essences sealed in the Western Continent? How did Tudor "attract" their power? Angel suppressed the many questions in his heart and continued to ask according to Christmena's memories:

"Did you die in the process?"

The witch who passed away more than a thousand years ago nodded first, then shook her head and said:

"When the armies of the Night Emperor and the Underworld Emperor invaded Trier, I died at the hands of the angels of night and death. But as a fellow 'disaster' witch, you should know that this does not mean true death."

He knows that I am also a witch angel? Yes, otherwise he wouldn't have talked to me so much... Angel hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

As the sequel of the "immortal" witch, she can leave a mirror that has severed most of its mystical connections with the main body in a secret place. Even if the main body dies, along with the other people in the mirror, she can still rely on the sleeping people in the mirror to be resurrected, and it will only take a little time at most.

This means that it is meaningless to kill the real body of the Witch of Disaster without solving the secret "Man in the Mirror", unless the real body and all the people in the mirror can be destroyed at the same time with the power of a higher level, such as the method Angel used to wipe out the fortune teller's puppets.

Clearly, this was not the case with Christine.

"But you didn't resurrect in the mirror world?" she continued.

The black-haired witch in front of him shook her head, and that expression of mixed anger and pain appeared on her face again.

"I could have resurrected and continued to fight, but my mother stopped me. She believed that my father had fallen and the situation was no longer favorable to us... She took away the uniqueness of the Red Priest, found the God of Death, sought cooperation, and avenged my father. But...

"But my mother eventually destroyed the mirror that I relied on to be resurrected, and killed me... He said that it was not that He did not love me, but He had no choice but to bury all of my 'people in the mirror' to prevent the 'great terror' in the mirror world from becoming reality.

“This is equivalent to me dying again before I was resurrected. My characteristics were taken away, and my body turned into this black pillar on the battlefield when I died. My soul is wandering here, unable to find peace.

"Moreover, in order to completely cut off the possibility of my resurrection, Mother even used her power to split my soul into two parts, one good and one evil. The one in front of you is only one part. The other part was attracted by some underground power and became a demon similar to me, but more evil."

As she spoke, Christine looked at Angel's feet, causing the latter to lower his head in confusion, only to find that the other person's gaze penetrated him and went deeper into the catacombs.

"It lingered near the river. On the one hand, it wanted to merge with me again, but on the other hand, it was attracted by the power of the river and could not leave..."

The remnant soul said quietly.

"river?"

Angel asked subconsciously.

"It is now called the 'Well of the Samaritan Woman', the 'Well of Forgetfulness', but my father called it...

"The River of Eternal Darkness."
