Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

In an instant, Luther's smiling face became stiff. He looked steadily at Wall under his feet, stretched out his shoe with disgust, and rubbed it hard on the other side of Wall's cloth which was still clean.

"What a troublesome boss. Even if he dies, he still makes me, his subordinate, unhappy."

Luther muttered, then kicked the corpse hard. A black mist emerged from in front of him, blocking the splattering blood and making a crackling sound.

The tattered corpse fell to the ground in the distance with a plop, just like a torn sack. It was so insignificant. A city lord had become like this without anyone knowing, just like a piece of garbage.

"Alas, all humans who have colluded with evil spirits have never had a good ending since ancient times..."

Luther sighed and shook his head, his fair face turned to the black crystal in his hand again, and his sarcastic gaze turned into covetousness.

"It's a pity that humans never understand this. Ah, even if they do, they will repeat history again and again. It's really sad."

Luther carefully stroked the crystal ball in front of him, as if he was stroking his most beloved woman, gently, his eyes full of love.

As he stroked it, the energy of his own power slowly poured into the black crystal ball.

With the injection of energy, the black crystal seemed to be re-oiled, becoming even darker and deeper. Countless blood-colored threads began to spread all over the black crystal, carrying a fishy smell and arranged in a regular pattern, like some kind of contract or mark, tightly wrapping the entire crystal ball.

As the instigator, Luther's smile grew wider, his eyes filled with impatience.

The red threads that spread across the entire black crystal like a spider web became brighter and brighter, and more and more red, while the entire black crystal became darker and deeper.

Looking at his almost successful masterpiece, the corners of Lu De's mouth opened wide, his smile grew wider, and even some dry skin fell from his face, but it healed quickly.

However... However, things did not develop as he wished, for some reason, the lit red lines seemed to have encountered some obstacles, just like a filament with no power, it suddenly went out, and the pure black of the crystal ball suddenly turned into a dull light black.

"what happened?"

Luther frowned slightly and input his own strength again. As he injected it, red lines gradually appeared and the crystal ball slowly returned to its previous pure black color. But soon, the crystal ball in front of him seemed to emit a silent wail, and both the red thread and the almost obscure pure black came to an abrupt stop.

"It shouldn't be like that. I found this method after searching through countless relics and ancient artifacts. How could it be ineffective? Could it be that this soul demon is very powerful?"

Luther frowned, his sharp eyes staring at the black crystal in his hand.

The last time his godhood was taken away, it could only be said that he was not on guard enough. He did not expect someone to sneak in and take away the results. But this time he was very careful not to be discovered. In order to feed his prey, he even concentrated on attracting the culprit from last time, drawing his attention and consuming his strength. It shouldn't have been like this. What caused the contract to become invalid?

His frown was filled with confusion and a determination to win. He would not allow himself to fail again. It was enough that his carefully planned thing was taken away once. He would not allow it to happen a second time.

Thinking of this, Luther's eyes gradually became deep, and the power in his hands invaded the interior of the space more unscrupulously, with a bloodthirsty cruelty.

There was a slight sound, like something breaking, and Luther paused.

His mind was focused on the black crystal in front of him. The sound came from inside. What was going on? Could it be that the soul demon inside had made some move?

click-

There was another slight sound, and a slight crack suddenly appeared on the black crystal in his hand. Luther's face changed, but before he could react

Click, click, click——

The sounds became more and more frequent, and the frequency of vibrations became higher and higher. In just a moment, countless cracks burst out one after another, and were distributed irregularly and densely from a central point to the outside world.

Is this going to break apart?

How is this possible? You know, as long as the soul demon is not dead, this crystal ball will never break. What is going on?

Could it be caused by my own actions? That was impossible. This thing couldn't be that fragile. It was a powerful seal after all. Even if it loosened a little, allowing the things inside to communicate with the outside, the core inside would not change. As long as the things inside were not dead, the energy provided to the seal would not disappear.

Luther was very sure of this, otherwise the guy inside would not want a body and find another way to break through the seal and escape.

This is something he values, so naturally he has to make some plans for it. That's why the saint was attracted by the news he spread, and in order to get this guy to come out and help herself, she found a better body for him.

But what is happening now?

A flash of inspiration came to Luther's face, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be! ?

But before he could react.

With a bang, the black crystal in his hand suddenly exploded. Before Luther could react, a violent force suddenly came from his abdomen, like a monster weighing several tons smashing towards him.

With a plop——

Luther flew backwards and hit the stone wall hard, turning it into a deep pit full of cracks.

"Ahem, what, what's going on..."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 216 Chapter The Real Mastermind

“Ah? It seems like Kei hit something. It’s soft…”

The powdered masonry dust exploded in the air, obscuring Luther's vision, but it did not affect his hearing.

That strange voice, that familiar figure, and that unique scent.

"It's you! You're not dead!?"

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a petite and unique figure emerged from the scattered dust.

"Ok?"

Kato Megumi tilted her head and waved her hand to control a light breeze, gathering the dust and dispersing the smoke.

Without the obstruction of dust, her vision became clearer. Kato Hui looked around and subconsciously scanned a few times. As expected, even though the light in the basement was not so bright, she still saw the blood all over the place, the tattered body of the city lord, and the victim she accidentally knocked away when breaking the space, the subordinate of the city lord Wall.

"Eh? Things don't look good. Did I accidentally walk into a murder scene?"

With her slender index finger gently placed on her cheek, Kato Megumi tilted her head and suddenly spoke.

"I remember that when he was unconscious before, the city lord was still fine. Although I guess he might be the culprit who caused his coma, Hui also planned to come out and take revenge to a certain extent, but this has nothing to do with the current life situation of the city lord? After all, Hui has not taken any action yet, and now the body of the city lord is lying naked in the corner."

As she spoke, Kato Hui looked at Luther who was leaning against the hole in the corner of the wall. Her gaze became deep and her tone became solemn.

"From the current strong earth element around me and the situation at the scene... things seem to be very simple."

"Well, there is no doubt that you are the murderer. I wonder if I can still pretend that I can't see it..."

Kato Hui said firmly, looking at Luther's expression, but he still did not look panicked or angry. Instead, because of his calm voice and expressionless face, people could feel a hint of the reaction a normal person should have from his words, so much so that people thought the person in front of them was openly mocking him and expressing his disdain for him.

"Haha. I didn't expect that Her Majesty the Saint is still alive. Aren't you afraid of the scene in front of you?"

Luther supported himself on the wall with his hands, then broke away from the wall, smiling somewhat absentmindedly.

He pointed at the rotten flesh in the corner and gave a reminder.

"Your Highness the Saint wanted to take revenge on this person, didn't you? But now I have killed this person in advance. Don't you feel angry? After all, it is more refreshing to take revenge with your own hands... isn't it?"

He laughed and touched the skin on his face that was peeling like dry earth. He pulled it hard, revealing a strange cheek.

Faced with the actions and words of the person in front of her, Kato Megumi paused slightly, wrapping her fingers around the ends of her hair, and did not answer directly, but instead guessed.

"Why are you surprised that I'm alive? Normally, wouldn't a normal person be surprised and shocked that I'm here? But you are different. I can feel from your words that you seem to think it's normal for me to die."

Kato Megumi said as she looked at the person in front of her. Luther still smiled and didn't react much.

"Oh? What makes you think so?"

Kato Megumi ignored Luther's casual rebuttal and continued to guess.

"You thought I was dead from the beginning, which means you knew that I was unconscious, and you even knew exactly what happened next. Logically, the person who caused this was only the city lord, and you shouldn't know about it. And in the current situation, the other party has been killed by you, so it is impossible for him to tell you this."

Having said this, Kato Megumi paused and looked at Luther with burning eyes.

"Then the question is, how did you know? Or...you are actually involved in this matter, and you are the mastermind behind it?"

"You are joking. How could it be possible? This is just your guess."

"It seems like it's really you..."

Kato Kei said with certainty.

"Ah, let me guess, what exactly do you want to do... You are responsible for my coma, but who will benefit from my death? Hmm... So, your target is the soul demon? Oh, it turns out to be that guy!"

As Kato Megumi expressed her guess, Luther's face changed, and then returned to normal. He smiled with his eyes narrowed, but his pupils were full of gloom.

"Your Highness is indeed perceptive. I didn't want to be your enemy. After all, I can't beat the one next to you... But... after such a long delay, I don't seem to have noticed the existence of 'that' next to you. It seems that the other party is not by your side!"

"It seems that it wasn't that guy who helped you escape, but you escaped on your own. Then things will be much easier..."

Luther's tone became fierce and bloodthirsty.

"Call out that soul demon. If you do that, I can spare your life. At the very least, I will give you an intact corpse and make it into a beautiful specimen."

"Eh!?" Kato Megumi widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands. "Are you so confident? Don't you know that villains always talk like this? And in the end, they will all get slapped in the face without exception."

"Hehe, I don't know whether you will be slapped in the face or not, but what I know is that if you don't hand it over, you will end up in a miserable situation, like the pile in the corner..."

Luther smiled grimly, then glanced at the pile of rotten meat in the corner. It was covered with dust and so dirty that its original appearance could no longer be seen.

In response, Kato Megumi just glanced and then looked away.

"Hmm... maybe Hui can't meet your request?"

"What? Just because I call you a saint, do you really think you can kill me? I guess you have recognized who I am... Last time you took my things, I was not as skilled as you, but now that the woman beside you is gone, do you really think you can escape by yourself? Haha."

Luther gave Kato Megumi a mocking look.

"Ah! That's not it..." Kato Hui was a little embarrassed, "The soul demon you are talking about is the dark fog that has no human form! I'm sorry, I can't give you that thing."

"What do you mean……"

Luther looked at Kato Megumi with displeasure. This saint really didn't know what was good for her. Did she really think that he dared not touch her?

"Ah, that's it... that's it... I've already eaten that thing, I can't possibly give it to you."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Luther scratched his ears and said in disbelief.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 217 Chapter You, the Saint, have no moral principles

"You heard it right. That thing was eaten by Hui, so I can't give it to you."

Kato Megumi said innocently. Actually, she didn't want to have a conflict with the other party, but there was no way. The little guy had already been digested and absorbed by her, so how could she spit it out?

"Haha, it seems that the Saint's sincerity is not enough... Do you think I will believe you?"

"Yeah, it's true! What I said is true. I really ate that guy."

Kato Megumi nodded seriously, but unfortunately the other party didn't believe it at all. It's no wonder. No one would believe that a saint could eat a demon, let alone Luther. After all, the powers of the two are in conflict with each other. What's more, that was a soul demon that had been sealed for a long time. How could it be eaten so easily?

So this is obviously a way to make fun of people... It seems that this saint really doesn't take me seriously. I need to tell her that even if I am injured, I am not that easy to deal with.

"Okay, stop talking. It seems that the Saint is really confident. I know you are stalling, but unfortunately, there is a barrier set up around here, and the person you want to call can't get through at all."

Hearing what the other party said, Kato Megumi's expression became serious. She was indeed delaying, but she was not contacting the outside world, but contacting Miss Witch.

Unfortunately, it seems that her contact did not work. She didn't know if the other party had something wrong, or if this barrier was really powerful. Up to now, Kato Megumi had not received a response from the witch lady.

"Looks like I have to do it myself. No matter whether what you said is true or not, even if it is true, I can still take it out after I dissect your body."

Luther uttered the harsh words, but before he could finish, a sharp icicle flew towards him with a whizzing sound, piercing his calf without warning, splashing out some black liquid. Soon the ice began to evaporate and destroyed the internal structure of his calf again, causing secondary damage.

And all this happened suddenly, completely unexpectedly.

"Huh? I didn't expect it to be successful..."

This was the surprised voice from Kato Megumi. Although it was a bit unethical to do so, it was better to strike first, so she used an ice magic neatly.

Because she has entered the fourth stage of extraordinary magic, "Change", she can freely shape the changing posture of magic, so she can use the same magic to cause secondary damage.

Because she was afraid that aiming at the vital parts would cause the opponent to sense it keenly and take defensive measures, Kato Megumi cast the magic quietly and silently, and aimed at the opponent's limbs instead of the vital parts. Unexpectedly, it was successful.

But why didn’t the other party react?

"Interesting. I've never seen magic like this before. Whether it's silent casting or being able to modify the spell model during actual magic combat to make it change twice and deal multiple damages, all of this makes me look at it with new eyes..."

"I remember that a saint can't use magic, right? That's really interesting. I thought I was wrong last time, but I didn't expect your ability to improve even more."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came to her ears. Kato Hui's scalp tightened. She subconsciously cast a fireball spell, and then immediately dodged the spot.

There was a sizzling sound, as if water jumped into boiling hot oil. Kato Megumi looked back and saw a human figure made of black liquid blocking the direction of the fireball, and the sizzling sound came from it. There was a fierce collision between the two.

In just a moment, the scorching fireball ran out of power and gradually dissipated, and the human figure made of black liquid also lost half of its body.

"how come……"

Kato Megumi cried out in surprise, and saw that the liquid humanoid that had been consumed by the fireball quickly returned to its original form as if it had an endless supply, as if there was no damage at all.

"What the hell is this..."
