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

Chapter 167 Jackpot!

Two hours later, when the monster named Roland Lancelot plunged the black holy sword into his own heart, Cassius would still recall the confident self he had been three hours earlier.

……

"Reporting to Lord Cassius, the boy has left the docks and headed towards the old town."

"The elf, along with the Papacy's squad and the Hatter, headed towards the Governor's Mansion."

The young man who had been disguised as Colonel Odemeyer was respectfully reporting to Cassius.

Cassius, who had already put his dragon scale armor back on and was now sitting in a chair carefully wiping his sword, simply nodded silently.

The doctor standing nearby also said, "Lord Cassius, isn't there something fishy going on? This kid's movements are unusual."

"Heh... Of course there's something fishy going on. Otherwise, how would we have found an opportunity?"

Cassius sneered, "This kid is obviously trying to lure us out."

"Looks like this little thing at the hospital has really angered him."

"Heh, but that's fine too. If he hadn't led us out, I really wouldn't have had a chance to kill this kid."

"If he had stayed in the governor's mansion, with that damned elf, the city guards, and the hatter, and now with a squad of judges, and considering the kid's own strength, he really wouldn't have gotten into any trouble."

"But since he wants to lure the snake out of its hole, we'll just play along."

"Take it slow, but it must be done quickly."

doctor:"???"

The nurse-uniformed girl, who had been silent all along, spoke up at this moment: "Lord Cassius means that preparations should be meticulous and actions should be swift."

"Ah...I see. I will keep that in mind."

The doctor nodded respectfully and said, "Then I'll go and apply the eyeliner."

"No need... Let's go."

"Take action directly?" The young man was surprised.

"Yes. Let's take action directly."

After Cassius finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the doctor and the young man: "If I'm not mistaken, this kid should have already discovered you and the spies he planted."

“You are old people of Sloan, you should know how he died.”

"He should also know how many times this good-for-nothing has attempted to assassinate this kid named Roland."

The young man countered, "But that doesn't guarantee he definitely discovered it, does it?"

“We should prepare for the worst,” Cassius continued. “Assuming he finds out, reinforcements are already on their way.”

"They might even have laid an ambush beforehand, ready for us to storm in and wipe them all out."

"We must act as soon as possible."

"If he hasn't noticed, then we should act quickly; the chances of success will be higher that way."

"Your insight is brilliant!" the doctor reluctantly agreed, but in his mind he had already begun to plan his escape.

Seeing that the doctor agreed so quickly, the young man didn't say much and simply echoed, "Your insight is brilliant."

Just as Cassius was gathering his men to prepare to take action against Roland.

Roland then led Cellina to the rooftop of an abandoned house to observe their surroundings.

There were already three or four corpses lying around them.

These were originally Chaos cultists who followed behind them or were responsible for keeping watch.

Cellina tossed the body into a corner, then looked at Roland, who was leaning against the edge of the roof, his pistol loaded with bullets, and asked, "Are you planning to use this to finish off the enemy?"

"Solve it? Maybe, but I did prepare a little surprise for the enemy."

Roland laughed, then picked up an engraved bullet and laughed again: "Cellina, do you know? Mashu's ideas and her senior brother's skills are a perfect match."

"Bullets made with this type of circuit, if engraved carefully enough, can accommodate almost any spell."

"Guess what spells I've prepared in these two magazines?"

Looking at Roland smiling at her, Cellina asked curiously, "You weren't like this when you were with Kalia and that princess."

"Really? What's different?" Roland asked curiously, then loaded the second magazine.

"If they were in front of you, you should have told them directly what was inside and what spells were engraved on it, instead of making them guess."

Cellina, taking advantage of the still-dripping rain, began to wipe her twin swords clean. Then, while staring at her swords, she continued to explain, "In front of the two of them, do you prefer to play the role of... educator?"

"This might not be the best way to put it, but you get the gist of what I mean."

Roland smiled and said, "Who can understand your explanation? In your opinion, how am I different from you?"

"...Easier and more frivolous, not much different from the mercenaries I know."

"Is that so? Well, there's nothing we can do about it, isn't there? The jobs of adventurers and mercenaries aren't that different, are they?"

Roland inserted the compressed magazine into the pistol, then put the spare magazine into his storage ring.

Roland, completely shrouded in a black cloak, smiled: "After all, ever since I learned my first spell, I've been taking on quests with my father."

Cellina looked up at Roland: "Let me summarize my opinion. You seem a bit excited, Roland."

"What kind of magic did you inscribe on these engraved bullets?"

"Judging from your expression, you probably have more than just those methods to counter magicians, right?"

Roland smiled without saying a word, covering his entire body with the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, which served as his armor. He gripped his twin pistols tightly, and before the dark liquid covered his head, he smiled at Cellina.

"Stay tuned..." "By the way, if you see me shooting with a black gun, remember to stay far away."

Celinina: “…”

So you did stuff it with stuff, didn't you!

Cellina took Roland's reminder to heart.

After all, this guy seems to have an endless supply of trump cards.

But Roland's preparations were not yet complete. The gauntlets floated up from Roland's waist and then were put on his hands.

Although Cellina had seen this scene many times before, and Roland did seem to have a strange trust relationship with the Demon King.

After all, she had heard from Nash about Roland teaming up with the Demon King to scare her.

Surprisingly, these two guys got along quite well.

If our ancestors from three hundred years ago knew this, I wonder what their expressions would be.

But I imagine the expression on her face won't be very pleasant.

The Demon King didn't say much this time, perhaps because he had discussed the plan with Roland before coming.

It simply and silently put the gauntlets on Roland's body.

The next moment... well, what she saw almost made Cellina consider cutting off Roland's right hand, which was covered in gauntlets.

After Roland put on the gauntlets, thick black mist began to swirl around him, enveloping him within it.

This is a darkness deeper than the night.

It's as if it wants to absorb all the light into itself.

Beneath the black mist, the sounds of metal clashing rang out continuously. When the black mist dissipated a few seconds later, a Demon King's Hand armor, missing its helmet and only half its original size, was already on Roland's body.

Knowing that Cherlinina would be worried, the Demon King spoke directly: "Don't be nervous."

"These armors are merely illusions formed from condensed magic; they possess no real protective power. Except for the gauntlet I'm currently inhabiting."

"Besides, the magic power was provided by that kid Roland. If I had such a sufficient supply of magic power, I wouldn't need to hide in this gauntlet."

"Finally, the armor was materialized using magic because some of its components can function without a physical form."

"For example, spells that automatically draw upon the Great Source of Magic to repair themselves and enhance the wearer's attributes are still effective."

"Although the effect will definitely be much worse, it's not unusable."

"Alright, I can already sense the enemy approaching."

"Be careful."

With the Demon King's helpful reminder, Roland immediately raised his white gun and repeatedly pulled the trigger at a street lamp on the street ahead.

As the spell interference mounted on the bullet and the spell countermeasure modified took effect, a disguised Chaos Cultist who was about to fire a crossbow bolt at Roland was suddenly revealed from the disguise spell.

Even his strength wasn't enough to avoid the damage from a bullet to the head; Roland's bullet literally blew his head off on the spot.

"careful!"

Cellina stepped in front of Roland, shielding him from a greatsword strike with her twin swords.

Cellina was bathed in golden light, shining as brightly as the only light bulb in the hallway.

The sudden surge of power forced her to repel the enemy.

Cassius, having missed his target, took two steps back in surprise.

His full-force attack... although he didn't use magic, was a slash delivered with his physical strength that no seventh-ring transcendent could withstand.

What was that golden light that was flashing around that woman just now?
Did this thing instantly increase her strength?

but……

Strength alone is not enough.

Cassius vanished in an instant, unleashing an incredible speed completely out of character for his size and equipment.

This is what makes high-level warriors so difficult to deal with.

It has immense strength, high health, is durable, and runs fast.

Golden light burst forth from Cellina's eyes as the primordial runes within her body unleashed their true power.

Extreme speed against extreme speed, immense force against immense force.

Cellina blocked two of Cassius's attacks in an instant.

It was only then that Roland snapped out of his daze, recovering from Cellina's warning and the shockwave from their collision.

Without the slightest hesitation, Roland pointed his black gun at Cassius.

At the moment he pulled the trigger, Roland used Flash repeatedly.

He approached Cellina for the first time and placed his hand on her shoulder.

He created distance a second time, and before Cassius could react, he pulled the trigger at face-to-face.

After confirming that the bullet had left the chamber, Roland's next ten actions involved creating distance and running away.

The next moment, annihilation occurred.

A spear appeared out of thin air, and the moment it was born, everything around it was annihilated in the storm of shattered space.
