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

Chapter 74: Going to the Underworld

On the streets of the royal capital, Roland, wearing his school uniform, walked carefree on the road.

Looks completely unguarded.

But at this moment, he was also using the secret communication frequency given to him by Fram to communicate with Fram who was following him invisibly.

"So, Ms. Fram, the teacher is probably just a bit stupid, but not a real spy, right?"

Fram's voice quickly reached Roland's ears: "Don't worry, I've read the letter. It's indeed Hearn's handwriting. He has a habit of leaving a magical mark on the envelope to prove his identity."

"Since it was Hearn who asked you to go, and Tolan said it's okay, then it should really be okay."

"Besides, I'm following you anyway, what are you afraid of?"

"By the way, from now on, just pretend I don't exist. Don't talk to me easily. I'll find the right time to come out."

"Even on secret communication frequencies, there's a chance of being discovered."

After leaving this message, Fram stopped communicating on her own initiative.

Roland didn't ask any more questions and just walked towards the city hall.

But it had been a while since he entered the city, and everything so far had been very natural.

There was nothing noteworthy about the streets and the pedestrians.

I didn't see anyone staring at me with any strange expression.

It was as if this time there was really just a mistake on the part of the city hall.

"Aren't you going to take action yet?"

Roland muttered to himself, calculating the time. It would only take him an hour's walk to reach the City Hall.

If you walk faster and take bigger steps, maybe forty minutes will be enough.

At this moment, Roland, looking at the surrounding street scenes, suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

He stopped.

He had passed this intersection at least twice.

Moreover, the number of pedestrians around this intersection has been decreasing, and the noise has been getting quieter and quieter...

There was a silence as if no human had ever existed here.

It looks like the fish has taken the bait.

"Pah, pah, pah, did you notice something was wrong? You reacted really quickly."

A middle-aged man clapped his hands and exclaimed in admiration as he walked out from a corner behind Roland.

Roland frowned and observed the visitor. It was a very familiar face.

He is tall and thin, with a sinister face, and doesn't look like a good person.

I seem to have seen it somewhere...

After a while, Roland reacted: "You are not dead?"

Orion. Roland recognized the guy who had been killed by his mines.

This guy, who should have been destroyed by him, actually appeared in front of him again.

"You destroyed only a puppet." Orion chuckled. "Surprised?"

"I'm surprised." Roland looked at Orion and laughed: "How dare you get so close to me?"

When the second half of the sentence sounded behind Orion, the Silent Sword transformed from the Moon Spirit Marrow had already chopped off Orion's head.

The enemy was easily defeated, but Roland was not very happy.

Because compared to the last time when he hastily destroyed the body, this time he looked more carefully.

This body does have flesh and blood, but it is just a flesh and blood puppet.

"Boom boom boom boom!!!!"

The next moment, five huge fireballs that covered the sky and the sun flew towards Roland from five different directions.

Roland dodged three of the fireballs' direct attacks with his flash, but it was too late for him to dodge the remaining two. He could only use the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to form a black spherical barrier to block them.

Soon, two fireballs exploded simultaneously on the black barrier formed by the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, and the other three fireballs that were avoided also smashed into the buildings and road surface nearby.

A piercing roar, intense light, and terrifyingly high temperatures instantly swept across the neighborhood where Orion and Roland were.

The originally spacious streets and even the buildings along the streets were now all turned into melted soil and collapsed ruins.

An entire city block vanished in an instant.

Amidst the smoke and fog, the enemy's magical attacks continued unabated: frost and fire, wind blades and earth and stone.

The elements were constantly surging at this moment, bombarding the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid's defense.

Soon, the only piece of land in the entire block that remained safe and unharmed was the land where Roland stood.

Roland did not remove the protection of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. The extremely high magic resistance inherited from the Sword of Silence allowed the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to almost ignore attacks of this level.

Orion's spell bombardment could only leave a few imperceptible ripples on the spherical barrier of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

"Are there at least five more puppets?"

"To be able to control so many puppets to fight at once, and to be able to continuously launch attacks at such a high frequency... this must be the strength of a seventh-ring transcendent rank."

"Otherwise, simply using small source magic to consume so much magic power is simply seeking death."

After confirming that his tortoise shell defense was as solid as an old dog, Roland began to think about countermeasures with peace of mind.

"If I remember correctly, puppetry should also fall under the category of techniques, right? If it's a technique..."

"System, add points. All points are on spell interference."

Don’t worry about whether it works or not, just guess the answer first.

If it really doesn't work, use invincibility to rush in.

Roland used all of the six unused skill points awarded by the system on the Modified Spell Interference, which had never been used in actual combat.

【Allocation completed】

[Spell Interference·Modified: Lv3/Lv10]

Charge up, then cast.

As the magic power in the body decreased, an interference field was successfully released.

Those puppets of Orion who were planning to continue casting spells suddenly collapsed.

Roland also took this opportunity to use Flash to destroy the five puppets one by one.

Orion, who was hiding in the corner and controlling the puppet to attack, was dumbfounded.

what's the situation?
What happened? Why was the connection between me and the puppet severed?

"Got you."

"Flash Technique!"

A blinding light and cold words appeared before Orion at the same time.

In a panic, Orion quickly cast a shield spell to try to block the possible attack.

But the dark and strange weapon, like flowing liquid, directly penetrated his shield and pierced into his body.

It passes through directly, rather than the shield spell being penetrated.

It was as if he had never released the shield.

Something even more terrifying happened soon. Orion found that he could not sense any magic power.

He could not sense any of the magic power, whether it was the small source in his body or the big source outside!

"Damn it!"

Orion got angry and crushed the black clod of earth he had been holding in his hand.

The next moment, a torrent of mud and rocks emitting a faint green light rushed towards Roland.

Caught off guard, Roland had no choice but to withdraw the sword from Orion's body and turn it into a barrier to block the sudden attack.

Sure enough, after all, he is a seventh-ring magician of the extraordinary level, how could he not have some backup plan.

This technique required no magic power, was stored in advance, and only relied on physical means to activate. Roland could not prevent it from being activated.

Furthermore, this green light reminded Roland of the poisoned dagger and the crossbow bolt. The color matched the unpleasant feeling he felt.

Considering the ripples that were beginning to form in the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and the increasingly powerful mudslide, Roland knew that if this continued, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid's defenses would be breached.

He sighed softly and raised his right hand: "There's nothing I can do."

"EIWAZ!"

Roland's little hand flashed green light, and then the mud and rock torrent that had risen to a height of ten meters and seemed to be about to submerge the entire capital suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

It's like it never happened.
