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

Chapter 75: Rune and Horn

Orion never thought that today's assassination would be so exciting and eventful.

I originally thought that as a magician of the seventh ring extraordinary level, specializing in puppetry, it would be a piece of cake for me to fight a kid who had just been promoted from the third ring to the fourth ring one-on-one, not to mention being able to defeat him easily.

But he never expected that this kid would be so outrageous.

What exactly is that black magical device that looks like flowing liquid metal?
Why can't my spells break through the defense at all?
Why could the weapon formed by that thing ignore my defensive spells and attack me? Why did I completely lose my sense of magic after being pierced by that metal?
Why does this guy even know advanced spells like spell interference? Area interference at that!
Not to mention that annoying teleportation spell, there is no chanting, no hand gestures, and not even any magical fluctuations when it is activated!

And what he couldn't understand the most was what the hell was that spell Roland unleashed at the end?!
That was a life-saving trick given to him by the Bishop, a one-time energy storage spell condensed by a ninth-order legend!
How could he, a fourth-ring magician, do that?
And just after Roland activated the protection of the World Tree, Fram also appeared.

Obviously she had recognized whose technique the mudslide had just occurred to.

Humus soil, this is the work of that lustful bishop!
This saves some investigation effort.

Bishop Slo, the Desire Bishop, must have participated in the Chaos Brotherhood's action against the royal capital.

Orion, who had not yet recovered from Roland's performance, was now completely controlled by Fram.

Seal the magic, knock the person unconscious, and throw him into the magic big sack you brought with you, and you're done.

"The fish has taken the bait. The spell I just used was the Humus Soil of the Frenzy Archbishop Slo."

"Your behavior just now should have scared him."

"Although it feels good for a while, it might make him more wary of you."

Roland didn't care. It was a good thing to be more vigilant about himself.

When the fight breaks out, I can just stand in front of Slo and let Fram hit me head-on, right?

This is called strategic deterrence!
And after the battle just now, he had a basic understanding of his own strength.

Fighting warriors is not very good.

At least it is impossible to fight against opponents of higher levels.

It's okay to bully fighters of the same or lower rank.

Apart from anything else, I can slowly kill them with the Sword of Silence and Flash.

If it really doesn't work, use some props or poison.

If I fight against magicians, then I can really be called a magician killer.

Surgical intervention in the left hand, the sword of silence in the right hand.

Flash under your feet, and the protection of the World Tree above your head.

He even has a flash spell.

All that's missing is the stealth skill.

He couldn't even imagine how powerful he would be if he had the stealth skills of his mysterious bodyguard, and how insidious he would be in the eyes of other magicians.

"Ms. Fram, can you teach me your invisibility spell? I want to learn sneaking!" Roland looked at Fram sincerely.

Are you still trying to learn stealth? And you even know how to address me as "you" at a time like this?
But do you really intend to die on the road of being targeted?

Isn't it said that boys like to confront each other head-on? Why are you so dark?

He usually looks like a sunny and upright guy, but why does he have this style when fighting?
But I like it.

"I really can't help you. I'll give you the manuscript of this technique someday."

"This is the invisibility technique I improved myself! I didn't even teach it to Leah!"

Roland then looked around and said, "Ms. Fram, with all the commotion going on, why haven't the city defense troops come yet?"

"It's no small matter to have an entire block destroyed."

Fram tilted her head: "Haven't you realized yet? You are not in the real space."

"This is just a mezzanine space created by the Chaos Brotherhood using some means."

"I don't know how they managed this kind of sophisticated operation, but let's get out first."

……

"Ms. Fram, it seems something has happened that we don't know about."

After being taken away from the space layer by Fram, Roland stared at the neatly cut body parts on the ground in front of him and complained.

This was a battle without much suspense.

The deceased was sliced ​​evenly into thick slices, and the artistry of his death was quite high.

Fram seemed to have noticed something and looked around the corner. "Is that why Tolan isn't afraid of Roland getting hurt, but isn't willing to say it out loud?"

"Tsk, where did this guy find the demon bodyguards?"

"Ms. Fram, what did you say?" Roland asked Fram who was whispering beside him.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about the body. The city defense forces will take care of it."

"Okay, I'll take the spoils back and search the soul."

"It's a pity I didn't catch a bigger fish. It's a pity I didn't take action right away."

"Go and finish your errands."

"If nothing unexpected happens, no one will dare to attack you on your subsequent route."

"Even the Chaos Brotherhood went to great lengths to lure you out of the academy, but they only dared to attack you in the interlayer space they created."

"This is all because I'm afraid of provoking that little golden-haired devil."

Fram left with the captives, and it seemed that the real big move might be about to come.

I don’t know whether the system will release subsequent tasks.

It's clearly a series of tasks.

But so far there are only two tasks: finding corpses and killing BOSS.

And it is visibly that there is no follow-up after killing the BOSS.

At least Roland couldn't think of any follow-up.

It's impossible that there is a force hidden in the royal capital, waiting to take advantage of the situation?

Can't you?
Roland looked around. The neighborhood in the real world was still peaceful and tranquil. The other citizens seemed completely unaware of what had just happened.

However, Roland thought that if they acted directly in the real world without considering the consequences, Fram would definitely stop them directly and would not hide aside and watch him perform.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I was just worrying too much.

If the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up... Although I am not tall, I am capable enough.

……

In the alley at the corner of the block, the bodyguard who had hurriedly left leaned against the wall and took off the hood that she had always worn on her head.

A pair of furry pointed ears popped up suddenly after losing the suppression of the hood.

She let her long black hair fall down on her shoulders, feeling the cold wind of early winter, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"We were almost discovered."

"I was too careless. If I hadn't sensed a different aura around that guy, I wouldn't have noticed his presence."

"but……"

"There seems to be a familiar aura about that boy."

The bodyguard raised her hand, and as her mind moved, an ancient and round stone appeared in her palm.

"A scent similar to this thing..."

She stared at the meaningless runes on the stone and fell into deep thought.

What does this thing mean?

Roland, will the person she is protecting know about this?
Does he also own such a stone?

What is the origin of this thing that is enough to arouse the wrath of the royal court and lead to the destruction of his own family?
Why are the Lords of the Royal Court so obsessed with this thing?

What secrets does the golden horn enshrined in the center of the Covenant Temple, in front of the statue of the Demon King, hold?
Why did this strange stone suddenly become hot when he passed by the horn while escaping?
She wandered and fled with these questions for several years.

She wanted to find an answer.

But it was impossible to even ask the question.

Until today, until the unexpected discovery just now.

She felt that she might have stood at the door to the truth.

She put her hood back on, went into stealth mode, and followed Roland as he walked towards the city hall.
