My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 111 Terrifying Beast-Eared Girl
[Ding, congratulations host, you have arrived at the memory sealing point—the ruins of the fur warehouse district...]

The system's sudden notification sound startled Roland for a moment, but only for a moment.

After Cellina repelled the gargoyle, Roland swung the Sword of Silence once more at top speed, shattering the red crystal on the altar.

With a burst of crimson energy, the magic conduits on the ground, which had been shimmering faintly, completely dimmed.

"boom!"

The warehouse collapsed completely at that moment.

The massive barrier formed by the shadows shielded Roland and Cellina from the collapsing ruins.

"Roland, are you alright?"

"It's alright. The communication magic has returned to normal. Mission accomplished, let's go first."

"Humph, want to escape?!"

Cole's voice rang out from the smoke and dust, and then his massive form appeared in the moonlight.

The stone wing that had been severed by Cellina's sword has now been completely restored.

The rising dust and the soil and rocks buried under the snow began to gather towards Cole's body, making it even larger.

Its enormous size, enough to be three or four stories high, and the colossal figures surrounding it, were enough to create a sense of oppression simply by standing there.

Countless earth and stone golems rose from the ground, only to be sliced ​​into pieces by Cherlinina in the next instant.

Several earthen and stone spears rose diagonally from the ground, then turned into stones under Roland's magical intervention.

Cellina reached out to shield Roland: "You take Kalia and go first, I'll hold her off."

"Okay... wait a minute!"

Roland, who was about to agree, glanced at the system notification and quickly grabbed Cellina: "Wait! Don't be impulsive!"

After saying that, Roland used spell interference again to deflect the gargoyle's attack, and then he and Kalia and Cherinina created some distance between themselves.

"What's wrong?" Cherlinina asked, puzzled.

In her memory, Roland was not a hesitant person.

Although they hadn't had much contact, this sixteen-year-old human boy had never disappointed her in his decisiveness.

Roland did not answer.

I was just reflecting on the notification that the system had just displayed.

This quest, called Echoes of the Past, really loves to suddenly drop some scary stories on you.

[Ding, congratulations host, you have arrived at the memory sealing point—the ruins of the fur warehouse district.]

When the witch arrived, all that awaited her was the cold, withered corpse of her friend.

Her once smooth, black hair had become dry and brittle, and her single arm had been roughly ripped off and tossed aside, along with her weapon.

As the cascading waterfall of blood and the impenetrable wall of earth and stone pressed down upon her, the witch finally realized that the true culprit who had murdered her friend was right before her eyes.

As shadows flowed amidst blood and rubble, the witch's silent rage began to spread.

Monsters crawling from the shadows and ominous darkness engulfed the entire warehouse district, and then the entire Blackthorn Territory.

Although we didn't spend much time together, however... however...

[Ding, congratulations host, you have successfully collected a memory.]

[Memories Collection Progress (2/3)]

[The memories of the fur warehouse ruins have been successfully recovered. Please continue searching for the last remaining sealed location.]

"It's nothing... I'm just a little nervous."

"Nervous? You weren't nervous when you faced that bishop of the Chaos Brotherhood," Kalia retorted.

Cellina also asked, "What, you're planning to retreat first? Fine. We were lucky; the communication magic was restored after the blood altar was destroyed."

"No... kill him."

Roland looked at Cellina and said, "I'll cover you, just go all out on the attack."

"Kalia, you're in charge of holding off the others. That shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"Just blocking it is fine... You need to be careful. Let Nina handle the charging and fighting."

Upon hearing Kalia's address, Cellina shuddered violently, her entire body visibly trembling.

"I never said you could call me that."

"Hey, is that not allowed? I thought we were already friends!"

"No, that's not true! Roland, you need to do something about this!"

"Alright, stop fooling around, the enemy is already flying over."

"Oh, right, Kalia, you can hold the silly cat."

After tossing the cat he was holding to Kalia, Roland teleported away with Cherlinina, knocking the gargoyle that had just taken off to the ground.

Silly Cat, after being caught by Kalia, scoffed to himself, "Heh, scumbag, he used her and then threw her aside."

"Kalia, you mustn't let this kind of bad man fool you!"

"He'll definitely be fickle in the future!"

After hearing this, Kalia rubbed her cat head unhappily: "He, he's not like that at all!"

"...Even I have a way!"

……

"boom!"

As dust rose, Cole slowly rose to his feet.

Without Paxson by my side to cover for me, I really don't know how to deal with someone as agile as him.

especially……

Cole looked at Cherlinina: "As a demon, you actually chose to help humans?"

“You are no different,” Cellina replied. “Whether it’s you or that Blood Demon Viscount, you are considered top-notch people by the locals.”

"You and that Blood Demon even use your own money to help the poor in your territory, and even help them get medical treatment." "That's not something a demon would do."

"Heh... quick-witted." Cole chuckled twice, then threw a punch at Cherlinina.

At the same time, to prevent Roland from interfering with him, Cole also summoned two stone golems to attack Roland.

He knew very well that the two stone men posed no threat to Roland; the kid's methods were too bizarre.

No spell could work against him.

After all, he was a gargoyle of the eighth-ring hero rank. Although he was not a race that was good at using spells, his bloodline magic should not be something that could be easily dealt with.

and……

He hasn't used the power of the runestone yet.

But that doesn't matter; he only needs to pause for a moment.

With Roland temporarily distracted, his fist was already in front of Cellina.

But the giant fist formed from earth and stone was cleaved and shattered in the next instant.

Soon, accompanied by a burst of golden light, Cellina's side kick shattered the enormous body that Cole had conjured with bloodline magic into a pile of rubble.

Roland, watching from the side, was somewhat bewildered.

He now understands one thing.

Cellina is the kind of person who says no, but actually enjoys it very much.

With her fighting prowess, Kalia could easily become Upper/Lower Kalia.

That kick just now created a sonic boom!

And that golden light...

Feeling the slight agitation of the two runes within his body, Roland was certain that this was the primordial rune that Cellina possessed.

"Didn't this guy say he couldn't unleash the power of the runestone?"

Cole, who had been kicked back to his original form, coughed and then stood up, clutching his chest.

"There's actually another holder. (Demon language)"

Cellina also looked at the golden light enveloping her body with some surprise.

"It actually worked..."

She was also confused.

She wasn't lying to Roland; she couldn't use the power of the runestone freely.

This is the second time this runestone has worked.

The last time... was when she was ambushed by the royal army just before she was about to escape into the territory of the Northern Federation.

"Never mind, I don't care anymore."

"Take care of the enemy first."

With that thought in mind, Cellina wielded her twin swords and charged at the gargoyle before her.

Although Cellina was only at the seventh-ring transcendental rank, with the blessing of the rune at this moment, her hand-to-hand combat was actually no less than that of the eighth-ring gargoyle Cole.

But at that moment, Cellina's longsword began to falter.

The longsword, which was not a divine weapon to begin with, could not withstand Cole's repeated heavy blows even with the enhancement magic that Cherinina used.

Gargoyles are one of the most powerful races among the demons.

The weapon in Cherlinina's hand was about to be smashed in half.

Seeing Cellina gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, Roland had a sudden idea. He activated the invincibility effect of the World Tree's protection, then teleported to Cellina's side and wrapped thorns around her body.

That's right, this is a replica of the combo used when facing that storm before.

As Roland was sent flying by a punch, another giant hammer formed of lightning reappeared in the sky.

Although this hammer was not nearly as large as the one that blew up the mountain before.

But... that imposing aura still remains.

"boom!"

It was as if the god of wind and thunder himself was wielding a giant hammer, and the thunder was like divine punishment descending.

However, due to some inexplicable force, the thunderstorm did not spread.

After the giant hammer fell, it continued to compress its size, eventually forming a spear made of lightning.

Cole felt like his heart was about to stop beating.

The suffocating pressure made it impossible for him to even move his feet.

Amidst the sky filled with lightning, Cole was instantly stunned and unable to move.

While Cole was unable to move, Cellina seized the opportunity and unleashed a barrage of punches, cracking Cole's body.

At this moment, Roland, who had been sent flying far away by a punch, also used Flash to rush back, and then swung the Silence Sword toward Cole's eye socket.

Roland, having pushed the Curse Enhancement Technique to its limit, now sacrificed all his magic power, aiming to reach the pinnacle of physical strength he could achieve.

Only in this way could he be confident of piercing Cole's body with his sword.

Fortunately, Cole was unable to retaliate due to Cellina's relentless pressure and the stun effect created by Roland's counterattack.

He simply stood there, enduring the attacks from Roland and Cellina.

As Roland soared into the air and plunged his sword into Cole's eye socket, the battle finally came to an end.

The gargoyle's massive body crashed to the ground, lifeless.

Roland stood on Cole's corpse and let out a long breath before releasing the curse enhancement spell.

Perhaps feeling uneasy, Roland then manipulated the Moon Spirit Essence, causing it to explode from a longsword into a spiky ball.

As the longsword transformed, Cole's head exploded into a shower of rubble.

Now he's finally dead, isn't he?
