Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"But, I think it would be better for Kei if you died..."

Kato Megumi smiled gently, then squeezed her fingers hard, and the power of the golden elixir in her hand exploded fiercely in her palm. In just a moment, the soul demon in front of her was completely chewed up and turned into food, which was swallowed by her own power.

Meanwhile, within the spiritual sea, the rotating nebula and the golden elixir expanded visibly, and the light on it increased a little bit invisibly.

He stretched out his hand, but found that his palm was empty. The original soul demon had disappeared without a trace, and had turned into his own nourishment. While he was still smugly thinking that he would one day turn things around, he didn't expect that Kato Megumi, who had been on guard against it, would believe his lies.

It is true that the soul demon has lived for a long time, and the treasures it talked about may exist, but once Kato Hui agrees, she will definitely be controlled by the other party in the future. Based on her own judgment, the other party will definitely not give them to her all at once, but will hold them and take them out in batches again and again. Not only that, there will definitely be some tricks in the process, and then Kato Hui will fall into the trap dug by the other party. Thinking of this, Kato Hui feels that it is better to get rid of the other party cleanly.

Some people may say, isn’t there a contract? We can sign a soul contract or something like that. As long as we hold the other party’s life in our hands, we don’t have to worry about the other party having any bad intentions.

Kato Megumi disagrees with this. As for an evil demon, the validity of the contract is not the issue, but Kato Megumi will not let a venomous snake with ulterior motives who constantly wants her life stay by her side, because you don't know when the other party will turn against you and give you a fatal blow from behind, and you also don't know what means the other party has to terminate the contract and take your life at the critical moment.

So to be safe, Kato Megumi will not leave any trouble for herself.

As for the magic that the other party mentioned, it might have made her feel moved before, but it is no longer attractive to her now. Although she is a saint, her main occupation is magic... huh? Of course, she also practices magic and physical training part-time.

After the transformation of the divine nature, the system was half scrapped, the divine arts were integrated with the magic system, and she also learned how to use the power of faith to cast magic, so the opponent's secrets were useless to her. Her faith power was even purer after being filtered and squeezed by the nebula. She also figured out how to use the power of faith to cast spells under the teachings of the witch lady, so Kato Megumi was not worried about the hidden dangers and side effects.

So everything the soul demon said was useless to Kato Megumi. It might be useful as a bargaining chip for others, but for Kato Megumi, she would not let something that wanted to harm her live.

"Eh... it's a pity to kill him like this, it's too quick and easy."

Kato Megumi tilted her head, looking quite distressed and feeling a little regretful.

In fact, killing multiple parties so quickly and neatly was not in line with her style. Normally, the enemy's death should be meaningful, rather than dying without any resistance and value like this.

If your mental power is high enough, relying on the memory spell taught by Miss Witch, you may be able to obtain information about the treasure before killing the opponent, and squeeze the opponent's surplus value.

Unfortunately, even after being baptized by the divinity and having the bonus of faith, her own mental strength is still not up to standard. You know, if you want to cast a spell on a powerful intelligent life, you must have a mental strength that is at least several times greater than the other party's in order to do it with ease.

However, Kato Megumi has not met this condition yet, so the matter can only be left unresolved.

Even though the soul demon was easily controlled by her and seemed vulnerable, it was only because the power in her spiritual sea happened to be the opponent's nemesis. Otherwise, how could it be so easy?

No matter how you look at it, he is also an evil demon who can create an illusion and confuse himself silently. Not to mention other things, just the ability of the other party to trap the consciousness is already very powerful. If the other party did not seem to need his body, it is not certain whether Kato Megumi is still alive now.

If I were to face such an enemy head-on, I would be killed by him before Kato Megumi could get rid of the illusion. Fortunately, he had something to ask for and didn't attack me casually, otherwise, I would be a lonely ghost now.

I don’t know if I can survive in this world without a body.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi smiled helplessly, but these were all assumptions. The fact that she was the one who survived had already explained the result. She didn't need to think about those assumptions and leave herself in the conjecture of lingering fear and panic.

Now I should think about how to get out. Leaving here is the priority.

Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Kato Megumi opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

"Ah... I thought I could get out after killing the culprit, but I didn't expect this space to still be maintained."

Kato Hui frowned slightly. Could it be that the guy he was talking about was not the guy? Was he the only one who could open the exit of this space?

Should I have pretended to compromise at the beginning, and then killed the other party when the time came?

The thought flashed through her mind, and Kato Hui changed her mind and shook her head to dismiss the idea.

It is better not to keep the trouble. Who knows what kind of unexpected events may happen. I do not regret my previous decisiveness. Besides, I can break the opponent's illusion and kill him. Even my power is the opponent's nemesis. So the space with the same origin should also be able to solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi was not discouraged. She began to look for boundaries in the space and try to find a way out.

……

……

Outside the space, because of the death of the soul demon, the black crystal ball in the city lord's hand, Wall, became slightly dimmer, but all this did not attract Wall's attention at all.

At this moment, he was full of excitement, imagining that the wish crystal ball would be charged and how big a wish could be fulfilled next time.

Yes, in Wall's mind, the crystal ball in front of him was not the residence of some evil demon, but a prop that could fulfill wishes. However, the wish needed to be charged, and the charging method of this wish crystal was different. It required a large number of young girls to charge it, and the quality could not be determined yet.

That's why Wall secretly abducted countless orphans and fulfilled many of his wishes.

Of course, this is what he thought he had achieved, but in reality it was just the soul demon secretly controlling his consciousness and weaving a "real" dream for him.

After all, Wall was just a puppet of the Soul Demon. Did he really need to fulfill his wish with his own puppet? That was too much of a wish. He could be dismissed with an illusory dream. It would be enough to modify his consciousness and make him think that he had already fulfilled his wish.

This way, he can continue to "willingly" manipulate him to work for him, and can also easily realize Wall's increasingly powerful greed.

Isn’t that how people are? When the desires they want are satisfied, after a while they will want to pursue more and bigger desires.

However, this was nothing to the soul demon. He controlled his consciousness, gave him the satisfaction of fulfilling his wish, and then erased his memory, making Wall think that he had fulfilled his previous wish. After all, that kind of satisfaction was not fake. Now he was just preparing to fulfill his current wish.

However, the soul demon who is the mastermind behind all this knows that no matter how many times he realizes a wish, he is actually realizing the same wish. It is interesting to think about having his memory erased and being manipulated over and over again for the same wish.

However, now, this kind of fun has nothing to do with the soul demon. After all, he is dead, and it was his prey who killed him.

The soul demon was killed silently, but Wall was still dreaming that his wish would come true. At this moment, he was holding a black crystal ball and heading towards a secret dark room, preparing a quiet environment to express his wish.

He has already sacrificed the saint to the crystal ball, so the energy will probably be very sufficient this time...

Wall thought with joy, and there was an indescribable lightness in his steps as he walked. Even the fake smile that seemed a little inappropriate in the past became vivid and real at this moment.

However, this smile only lasted for a moment. When he opened the secret door of the study and entered his own secret space, the expression on his face suddenly changed.

"Luther! Why are you here!?"

Wall's pupils shrank, and his tone was surprised and a little panicked. In front of him, a figure wearing familiar clothes appeared. Under the lights, he looked so independent and his presence was very obvious.

As Wall questioned, the figure turned around quickly, and the familiar face showed a smile that was unfamiliar to Wall.

"Oh? My dear Lord Mayor? You are finally here..."

Luther narrowed his eyes, and there was some covetousness and smile in his sight that made Wall unhappy.

"It seems that my guess was right. The saint's pure and flawless body is indeed very much favored by it! Only at this moment will it personally let you use the crystal ball in your hand. It really didn't disappoint me."

Seeing Luther's eyes on the crystal ball he was holding, Wall subconsciously retracted his hand and hid it inside his clothes.

"What do you mean! What do you want!?"

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 214 Chapter Who is the Devil?

Hearing his most valued subordinate say this, Wall felt a sense of uneasiness and his mind was startled.

"I don't understand what you are saying. Is this the tone you use to treat this city lord? And who let you in? How do you know this place, Luther? You should know that this is my private space."

Wall narrowed his eyes, looking dissatisfied, but his body secretly tensed up.

"Haha, my dear Lord Mayor, you are still pretending to know nothing. It's really cute, but it's cute in a funny way."

Wall felt a chill in his heart, and finally realized that the man in front of him was indeed not the loyal subordinate he used to be. Did the other party have a conspiracy, or... the man in front of him was no longer his loyal subordinate? Instead, he was replaced by something evil without his knowledge. Regardless of which guess he made, Wall felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and his heart was even colder.

The person who could pretend for so long without knowing anything about him and who could see through him must be extraordinary. And the other party mentioned "it". Could it be his treasure? Could it be that this person was after "it"? Thinking of this, Wall's eyes were obscure.

I have been very careful. Except for a few special sacrifices that I had to trap myself, I basically did not take action at other times. Moreover, every time I took action, I went through several steps and cleaned up the mess. So, I didn't know when I was discovered.

"Luther, you are too presumptuous!"

Wall's face was full of rage and reproach, but he calmly rubbed the ring in his hand with his thumb. Unexpectedly, Luther's eyes suddenly looked at him and said with interest.

"Are you trying to call your guards?" Luther said softly, then raised his eyebrows slightly, "But I'm sorry, my dear boss, I think your guards may not come back today."

"What do you mean……"

Faced with Wald's doubts, Luther just shrugged helplessly.

"I greeted them before I came. Now they have boarded the vehicle to hell. I think they may be lonely and need your company, Lord Mayor, so I came to pick you up."

Luther spoke these chilling words in a casual tone, seemingly not caring at all that the person in front of him was gradually becoming horrified.

"Of course, I will also take the things stored here with you. But I also want to thank you for taking so much effort to maintain it for so many days. You have done a lot of hard work, so I will be gentle this time and let you go in peace."

"You, you killed them, who the hell are you, you, you devil!"

Wall took a few steps back, holding the crystal ball in his other hand.

"Ah? That's not right. Although I did kill them, it's unfair to say that I'm a demon because of these things."

Luther looked innocent, as if he had suffered some injustice.

"I can't compare to you. You have to know that in order to fulfill your wish, you captured many human women, and those women were sacrificed alive by you, the city lord. Compared with your behavior, what I have done is nothing. If that's the case, shouldn't you be called a devil?"

Luther curled his lips and looked at Wall sarcastically.

"I wonder if you have achieved any wish with so many sacrifices. As far as I know, it has been a long time since I came here, and it seems that nothing has changed since you, the city lord, were arrested until now..."

"If that's the case, could it be that you were deceived? After all, what I felt from that crystal ball was a strong and pure power of resentment..."

As Luther asked in a teasing tone, Wall's fingers holding the crystal ball suddenly tightened. With the death of the soul demon, his mind was no longer restrained. As the other party asked this question, his thoughts could not help but spread.

Yes, I have done so much, but what have I achieved?

The memories came back involuntarily, and those vague feelings of disobedience echoed in her mind.

Then Luther saw that the face of the man in front of him became increasingly dark and ferocious, and his wide open, turbid eyes were filled with unbelievable madness.

"How is this possible! How could this be! I clearly achieved it, achieved it so...!"

The words came to an abrupt end, because as his thoughts continued, Wall increasingly found himself in touch with reality.

He was deceived, the so-called wish was completely false! Not only that, his memory of dressing during this period disappeared silently, and those spontaneous actions were not his way at all.

Wall's eyes became clear and he broke free from the soul demon's suggestion, but the fact that he was deceived and blinded would not disappear.

"Hahaha, interesting, so interesting. The hysterical reaction of humans is so interesting. I have to say that they are worthy of being soul demons. This kind of power is really pitiful."

Luther smiled happily, with a determined look in his eyes.

Wall didn't notice any of this at all. It was more like his mind was completely filled with anger.

The flushed cheeks bulged out the wrinkled and withered skin, and the exposed dark blue veins bulged out from the face like a spider web. The pair of angry eyes bulged out like inflated frog eyes, which was extremely hideous and terrifying.

"Damn it! Damn it! How dare you lie to me!"

The blood in his body seemed to be burning, and Wall was blinded by anger.

He took out the crystal ball from his arms. What was once a precious thing had become so disgusting and repulsive in his clear-sighted eyes.

"Damn it, damn it! Die, you evil creature."

Wall's fighting spirit burst out, and violent power surged throughout his body. He clenched his palms tightly, and endless power poured out from his palms. He wanted to chew up the crystal ball in front of him.

However, the black crystal in front of him was so hard that Wall's behavior was like that of a clown, completely useless in the face of its absolute hardness.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! All of you go to hell!"

As if realizing that he could not destroy the crystal ball, Wall suddenly ignited the vitality in his body and wantonly released all the strength in his body, as if the thing in front of him was his mortal enemy, and he was determined to crush the black crystal in front of him completely.

However, in just a moment, a black shadow flashed by, Wall was dazzled, and the crystal ball in his hand suddenly disappeared.

"Ah, you can't just destroy this. There's something I want inside..."

As the faint voice reached his ears, Wall subconsciously looked up and saw that the crystal in his hand had been taken by Luther.

"Damn it! You deserve to die too!"

Wall rushed towards Luther like an angry beast.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 215 Chapter Accidents are always so unexpected

"It seems that the guy's back-up plan has been activated. Poor human, you are my superior after all, so I will give you a decent death..."

puff-

There was clearly no movement, but Wall, who was rushing towards him, suddenly paused and stopped, and a burst of blood splattered in the air.

Wall was stunned, then slowly looked at his abdomen.

A huge hole appeared on his body, fresh intestines were shaking outside his body, and blood was flowing out continuously.

"what……"

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. He wanted to look up at Luther in front of him. However, as his vision became dim, he eventually lost consciousness.

Before dying, I could still vaguely hear the natural voice of the person in front of me.

"Look! Isn't it decent! Isn't it gorgeous! The blood moon blooms like an explosion. What a beautiful scene it is. It really makes people happy. But you don't have to thank me for all this. All of this is free. It can be regarded as a gift from me to your boss as I have been your subordinate for a while."

As Luther spoke, a hint of sarcasm slipped out of the corner of his mouth.

He walked forward and kicked Wall's body casually with his foot. As he moved, the body, whose muscles were not yet dead, twitched suddenly, and a few strands of bright red liquid spurted out and fell on the clean leather boots.
