Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1314 In the form of extraordinary characteristics
"what--"

A scream filled with fear and unwillingness spread throughout the world and entered the ears of every wizard, startling the researchers who were still in the utopia, and the "Ten Pillars" of the Moss Ascetic Order scattered around the world.

Not only that, this information continued to spread along the spiritual world. Saints, angels, and creatures hidden in the spiritual world who had a certain grasp of it all became aware of it and looked in the direction of the North Sea, as if they were thinking about something.

Among them is Zaratul, the "Secret Servant" whose true body is hidden deep in the fog of history and is relying on his own historical projection activities. He already has the authority of the "spiritual world" and can not only draw strength from the derived historical fog, but his spiritual alertness is also far beyond that of extraordinary people of the same sequence.

Therefore, He did not need to deliberately divine, and immediately understood that the scream came from the "Hidden Sage", which meant that the King of Angels had fallen.

This means that an important battle has been decided and it is time to end it here.

Thinking of this, Zaratul continued to hide himself in the mist of history, and his consciousness came to the body of his clone in Yharnam City.

He looked around. The once warm and peaceful town was now in ruins. Thick smoke rose from everywhere, and open flames could be seen everywhere. The buildings around the Administrative Square were collapsed. Even the church, which was completely black and had a towering bell tower, a pupilless eye, and the "Fool" logo composed of twisted straight lines, was destroyed in the explosion.

In the ruins, countless residents of different ages, genders and clothing were attacking each other. They were vaguely divided into two camps. One side used a large number of air shells with invisible trajectories to smash the other side. From time to time, they were blasted into charcoal by the burning flaming spears, or turned into burning paper figures, shuttling back and forth in the flames; the other side used flames as armor, transformed into burning spears and flew in the air, looking for targets that did not belong to them.

They are Zaratul's secret puppet army and Angel Gray's puppet army, with a total of more than a hundred people.

It's not that "Conquest" and "Spirit Line" are unable to control more subordinates, but in the battle of the past few minutes, most of the residents of Yharnam City have become cannon fodder, or burned in the high-temperature flames, or blown to pieces by continuous air shells, and are deader than dead.

If one more batch of puppets is transformed, the puppet town of The Fool will truly be reduced to ashes, and even the corresponding area in the spirit world will no longer exist... Zaratul was thinking in his heart, and was about to control the remaining spiritual lines pointing straight to the sky and deep into the spirit world, when a red light flashed before his eyes.

In an instant, he was hit by the blood-stained flag burning with invisible and colorless flames, and his body turned into an exquisitely cut paper man.

But as the paper figures burned and twisted in the high temperature, the secret puppets belonging to Zaratul on the ground also suffered fatal blows one after another. They were ignited by the black flame curse that came along the line of spirits and exploded into black and red fireworks.

Angel Gray, wearing a long skirt of flames and holding the "Blood Flag of Salinger", emerged from the sky. She swept her eyes across the city of Yharnam below, which could no longer be seen in its original form, looking for the figure of Zaratul. Suddenly, her eyes rolled back, and her mind was filled with countless strange knowledge. Her body became stiff and she could not move at all.

In the clouds in the sky, Russell Gustav, wearing a dark red coat embroidered with gold thread, slowly floated down. His blue eyes were full of chaos, and the information in his mind was turning into a torrent that washed over Gray's consciousness.

Behind him, Suea, who looked like a giant tree watered with oil, waved his bizarre arms, and short but malicious words came out of the countless bloody mouths on his arms, turning Gray, who was stunned in the air, into a big dog with soft, golden hair.

Transfiguration curse!

These two "historical celebrities" are projections that Zaratul pulled out from the mist of history. The former is the "Knowledge Emperor" whom He knew and cooperated with two hundred years ago, and the latter is the "divine evil" with whom He had a brief cooperation in the ascension ceremony of George III not long ago.

I thought that the resurrected "Black Emperor" Roselle would not agree to let me borrow his power, but I didn't expect that He still remembered the old friendship... Could it be that He actually stood on the side of Adam and Amon, and had his own ideas about the ownership of "Source Castle"... These thoughts flashed through Zaratul's mind when he appeared on a newly transformed secret doll. He turned to look at the golden dog in the sky that was accelerating downward but was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge. He did not pull the other party's spirit line immediately.

This might allow Gray, who is under the transformation curse, to wake up and get rid of his current state. When Zaratul really turns him into a secret doll, what he gets is most likely just a mirror substitute.

Seizing these precious few seconds, Zaratul quickly made a wish:

"I hope there won't be any substitutes here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put his palms together and fulfilled his own wish. This not only prohibited the opponent's "mirror substitute", "magic wand substitute" and other means, but also made his paper man substitute ineffective.

But this is not equal for the two. The witch's mirror substitute is an important means of defense and attack, but the fortune teller has the secret doll even though he has lost the paper man, as well as historical projections, and can even be resurrected!

After completing this action, He locked onto the golden retriever Gray again, stretched out His hands, grasped with His fingers, and struggled to take out an object from the mist of history.

It was not an angel who would help Him, nor was it a powerful level 0 seal, but a scene.

It was an extremely luxurious palace, with gold-inlaid pillars surrounding a hall covered with red carpet. Sitting on a high throne was a figure wearing a black crown and armor.

Around Him, two blond men wearing armor forged of light and holding huge flaming swords, and an old man with half of his body turned into purple flames and hair as bright as fire threw the weapons in their hands at the emperor on the throne.

It was a historical reenactment of the White Maple Palace where the then Intis Emperor Roselle Gustav was assassinated 154 years ago.

And now, the big golden retriever Gray fell from the sky and landed on the throne, and his figure merged with Roselle who was attacked by the Eternal Sun Church and the angels of the Sauron family.

The historical scene happened again. Gray's body, which had not yet regained its human form, was instantly pierced by the weapons of the "Weather Warlock" and the "Light Chaser". His thin figure was twisted and deformed, and turned into ashes in the high temperature in an instant.

The spirit thread disappeared, and there were no more mirror fragments... Zaratul watched as the familiar White Maple Palace main hall flashed and disappeared as if it had run out of energy, leaving only a handful of flying ash in the air. He was still a little unsure whether he had killed the "conqueror".

He looked at the two historical projections higher in the sky. The "Knowledge Emperor" Roselle was an image of his prime years. He was not disturbed by the reappearance of the scene of his assassination, but he also looked down and fell into silence. The "Divine Evil" Sua stared at the remaining townspeople on the ground who had not yet been transformed into Zaratul puppets with ill intentions.

Suddenly, the space between the three people twisted and flickered, as if it had turned into a broken mirror. A figure walked out leisurely, stretched out her hand and waved it, and the blood-stained flag that had fallen on the ground appeared in her hand.

That was the resurrected Angel Grey! "Surprised?" She looked down at Zaratul and said, her emotionless eyes seemed to be looking at a pile of garbage, "Even if you can restrict and destroy all my mirror doubles, can you still deal with the other me?"

After a complete reconciliation in the mirror city, she and the "Doomsday" witch Angel Granger have become each other's mirror people. As long as one of them does not die, the other will never die. The latter, as the "master of the mirror world", is the strongest angel king that even the true God cannot deal with.

How could a re-creation of a historical scene possibly kill such a "conqueror"?
No wonder she dared to guard this secret puppet city alone. Even if the two beings who coveted Sefirah Castle appeared, it would be difficult to kill her... A thought flashed through Zaratul's mind. He did not come here to compete with Klein, who was already in Sefirah Castle, for the throne. He was just following the orders of a great being to destroy the secret puppet town where He was promoted and shake His anchor when the other party was not paying attention here.

Now the city has been almost completely destroyed. Most of the puppets have died after he seized control and was conquered by Angel. The death of the "Hidden Sage" made Zaratul smell something wrong. If he stayed any longer, his life would be in danger.

Thinking of this, He immediately dispersed the current historical projection and returned to His original body.

But almost at the same time, Roselle, who had been looking at the direction where the projection of Baifeng Palace disappeared in the sky, suddenly turned his head and looked at Zaratul.

The latter's mind was immediately filled with all kinds of junk knowledge and redundant information, his head became hot and swollen, and he was almost unable to think.

This not only froze Zaratul's projection in place, but also caused his real body in the mist of history to fall into a stagnation.

Because the projection and the projection of the projection are all maintained by the spirituality of the original body, there is naturally a mystical connection between the several people, allowing knowledge to transcend the distance between each other.

The black and white eyes of the "evil god" Suea, who was floating beside Roselle, withdrew their gaze from the prey below and looked at Roselle in shock.

His confused mind could not figure out why this historical projection would betray its controller.

At this moment, the entire city of Yharnam, which was destroyed by war, shook beneath him, and then became dim like a shadow in a mirror and disappeared completely.

A complete city of Yharnam, full of residents, then emerged.

The area where Angel Gray and Zaratul fought just now was the mirror world, and those dead residents were just temporary "mirror people"!
It would be difficult to hide the truth from a "Secret Attendant" with strong spiritual intuition, even if Grey could borrow the authority of the "Mirror World", but what if he also combined it with the ability to "keep secrets"?
Thinking of this, Angel Gray flipped the world in the mirror back to reality and looked at the intact door of the "Church of Fools". A man wearing an ancient robe, with a stern face and void black hair walked out of there.

Mr. "Gate" Bethel Abraham's eyes flickered, and he summoned an old, mottled stone clock. With a "ding" sound, Zaratul's projection completely froze, and then he smiled at Angel Gray, nodded and said:
"He really has 'grafted' his existence onto a large number of prepared paper figures, but I am one step ahead and have already located the position of his original body."

As He spoke, He raised His arm steadily, His fingertips swayed, and He used His recording ability to "graft" the real body of Zaratul that He had found onto the projection in front of Him that was stuck in time.

Gray nodded slightly and raised the "Salinger Blood Flag" in his hand.

"Your miserable life ends here."

She taunted him casually, used her flag as a spear, and stabbed Zaratul's body with the invisible and colorless flame of destruction, piercing his chest.

Countless flames flew out along some invisible connection, entered the spirit world, and burned the paper substitute that Zaratul had arranged in advance to resist this chain attack, and then continued to spread into the mist of history, catching up with Zaratul who had just woken up and fled to an earlier era desperately.

Feeling the high temperature behind him that could devour even spirits, Zaratul rushed forward without looking back, running through patches of light, passing through the misty town with countless secret dolls hanging and the White Maple Palace with many guests, passing through the battlefields of the White Rose War and the Twenty Years' War, and was about to enter the era of the Pale Disaster.

It’s not that He doesn’t want to use the projection and take advantage of the opportunity to leave the mist of history to escape, but if He is a little slower, He will be immediately caught up by the terrifying flames of destruction.

At this moment, out of the gray-white mist, there jumped out a group of Fulgrim's dogs covered with short black hair and with dark red flames burning in their eye sockets.

That was the "Source Castle Guardian" who stopped Zaratul last time and made him lose the best chance to kill Gehrman Sparrow!
As soon as Zaratul became aware of it, he was pounced upon by Fulgrim's dogs with resentment in their eyes. His speed immediately slowed down, and the black flames behind him, like a thorn in his bones, immediately caught up with him. It avoided the Fulgrim's dogs as if it had life, and completely devoured Zaratul.

This is the "destruction" and "conquest" transmitted through the mystical connection, which the fragile body of the mysterious servant cannot bear at all, and all the previous paper figures and clones were burned to ashes in the same flame, even in the mist of history, nothing was spared, so Zaratul could not jump away.

With a bang, the dogs of Fulgrim jumped away one after another, and watched in the mist of history as Zaratul turned into a twisted black shadow. A little bit of Beyonder Characteristics flew out, and they were about to follow the trajectory of history back to the year 1352 of the Fifth Epoch, enter the body that Zaratul had already prepared, and revive him in the form of a "miracle".

when--

In the quiet historical mist, a bell rang out as if coming from an infinite distance, and the extraordinary characteristics that were about to leave immediately stopped where they were.

A thin figure wearing a windbreaker, a top hat and black gloves walked out from a patch of light.

Klein held down his hat and bowed to the dogs of Fulgrim who bowed their heads to him. Then he looked at the "Mysterious Servant" attribute that had been contained by Zaratul and included Sequence 9 to Sequence 1, which was stuck in time and remained in place.

"You will become an eternally devout 'Secret Servant'... in the form of extraordinary characteristics."

He reached out and took the feature, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke softly.
