Witch Monastery

Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief, and sweat beads appeared on his forehead again. But in fact, even though the hammer of this guy just now was powerful, he was actually not injured at all due to the multiple protections.

He then added Blade Guard, False Life, and Armor of Agathys to himself, and his mana instantly ran out. But he was not panicked at all, as long as he confronted the one-eyed dragon for a while and waited for a few minutes, his mana would naturally return to full.

In front, the one-eyed dragon stood up again, holding the heavy hammer tightly. Even though his arms were frozen blue and he was hit by a thunder wave and fell so hard, as a warrior two levels higher than Huo Sang, he stood up like nothing happened, full of energy, and grinned at Huo Sang, mocking: "Your magic power, you can't hold on for too long, right?"

Hawthorne also sneered: "It's more than enough to deal with you!"

As he spoke, he became more cautious and alert, estimating the time and how much magic power he had recovered.

“Oh, then give it a try!” The one-eyed dragon lowered his center of gravity, looking like a tiger, and continued to use words to put mental pressure on Hawthorne, “Don’t think that being a wizard is great. I have killed at least eight guys like you, if not ten. I will smash all your bones one by one and squeeze out all the marrow inside…”

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from a distance: "Get out of the way, the monster is coming towards you!"

Instantly, the one-eyed dragon turned his head, his expression changed drastically: "What?!"

Then he saw a huge monster with a painful human face all over its body, running towards him like a nightmare!

Suddenly, he almost lost his soul!

How could this happen? Wasn't this guy led to the Amazons? Why did he suddenly run so far and rush towards me again? !

Chapter 42: The Dawn of Counterattack

At the edge of the harbor, Ben was still worried that the monster's attention would fall back on him again. Kentez, the guild commander of the Shannasa guild, was always carefully guarding against the other party's actions.

However, what he never expected was that the monster suddenly gave up all its goals here, and turned around and ran in another direction.

What's going on here?

He gazed into the distance and could only see his most capable general, the one-eyed man, who seemed to have been run over by the witch and his life or death was unknown.

And further away, there was a white-haired and thin figure - compared to himself - running for his life.

The monster is chasing the white-haired man?

Who is he?

He didn't know, but at this moment, the biggest threat was far away. He then restrained these weird thoughts, retreated with his men, distanced himself from the Amazon women, and cautiously

Confrontation.

Then, when he looked down and saw headless corpses all over the ground, he suddenly felt his heart bleeding.

What a heavy loss!

Not only were the goods lost, but so many of his subordinates also died. If this continues, he will not be able to explain to his superiors!

He wanted to break through the blockade of the Amazon women, rush into the port, and check whether there was any of his goods in those cargo boxes.

however……

Glancing at the thugs behind him and seeing the expressions of relief on their faces, Kentz knew that the morale of these guys had collapsed and it was impossible for them to follow him and launch a new attack.

People's hearts cannot be violated. If the goods are lost this time, at most I will have to pay some money. But if my subordinates lose everything or become disheartened, how long will it take for my power to recover?

It is true that he is a strong warrior, but as a mere strong fighter for the guild, the treatment he receives is naturally far inferior to that of a commander.

Therefore, in the end, he could only look up at the sky with hatred, then turned his head and shouted angrily: "Retreat!"

On the other side, Amazon female executive Porter also noticed that the huge monster's attention was attracted by a white-haired young man, and she was greatly surprised for a moment.

She continued to be alert to the movements of Kentez, but then she discovered that the other party was actually planning to retreat?

Well, this is fine. Although I failed to kill Kentez, I also severely injured that guy. And tonight's loss is still within an acceptable range. It's time to stop the loss in time!

The Amazon Fisheries Company is a legitimate company, so they cannot kill people as wantonly as the Shannasa Guild. At least they have to have a plausible excuse.

And now, with this monster, whether it is the death of so many people or the loss of so many female warriors, they can all be blamed on her, and no one will be held accountable anymore.

Thinking of this, she raised her left hand and shouted, "We will retreat too!"

The female soldiers then evacuated one after another, and the bodies of their comrades were handled by the company's corpse collectors. Soon, there was no living person left in the area, only hundreds of human heads, coagulated and dried blood, and more corpses on the ground.

However, no matter how horrific these scenes were, no one was appreciating them now, because the only living person at the scene, Hawthorne, was being chased by Uta in a state of panic!

Shit, wasn't he quite far away just now? How did he suddenly notice me?!

He didn't know, but now, his mana had not been fully restored, so he could only run!

But he also knew that running like this was not a solution. He was not physically fit enough, and dragging it out would only lead to death, so...

Must fight back!

Calm down, Hawthorne, didn't you already have a plan for the whole journey?

Don't panic, hold on a little longer. Once your mana is full, you can find an opportunity to purify her!

With this thought in mind, he ran and turned, trying to use the curves to increase the distance between him and Uta and buy himself more time, while casting defensive spells all over himself.

Soon, spells filled his whole body, his mana slowly recovered, but his physical strength was rapidly consumed, and his lungs became painful as if they were about to explode.

Whether it will work or not depends on this one move!

After turning another corner, Hawthorne leaned against the blood-covered wall, listening to the growl and metal collision sound coming from behind. He took a deep breath, forced himself to muster up his courage, silently said "Shield", and then turned around suddenly with the shield!

Then he suddenly became dazed and saw what seemed to be a guillotine in front of him, with a huge sharp blade hanging high above it, and his neck was right below it!

This is Yuta's attack mode, she wants to cut off her own head!

It's now!

Even though he was blinded by hallucinations, he was still conscious. He reached out and pressed the bottom of the guillotine, growling, "Purification!"

hum-

The milky white light lit up again, and instantly enveloped Uta's body. The surging power flowed into his body along with the white light, and in an instant, Hawthorne felt that all the fatigue in his body was swept away!

what……

What a wonderful feeling, just like when I first purified Heidi.

"what--!"

Jutta let out a shrill scream, and then the guillotine blade fell down suddenly!

clang--!

boom--!

In an instant, the layers of protection formed by his shield, blade protection, false life and Agathy's Armor were all shattered, and the blade fell on the back of his neck, causing him an instant pain!

"Well--!"

He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as he watched the purifying milky white light envelop Uta, but he didn't know how long it would take to complete. The guillotine was raised high again, and was about to fall for the second time!

I can’t wait. If I stay here any longer, I’ll lose my head!

As soon as he thought of this, he quickly let go, turned around and continued running.

He feels in very good condition now. He doesn't feel anxious, his lungs don't hurt, and all the muscle aches all over his body have disappeared. He feels that running another five kilometers is not a difficult task at all!

On the other hand, although Uta was still as fierce as before, his speed was obviously slower than before!

As expected, this so-called purification is actually robbing her of her power, right?

Thinking of this, he then took out another magic book.

He ran and cast a healing spell on himself. The severe pain in the back of his neck disappeared, the wound healed, and in an instant, he was back to his best condition.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Very good, the effect is very significant. If I keep up this pace and purify her a few more times, I can conquer Yuta firmly!

Fortunately, tonight's Witch Night lasts for thirteen hours, which is a long time, and the slums are big enough for me to slowly deal with her and delay her.

Even though I look like I’m in a mess now, I actually have the advantage!

He continued to run, pulling with Utta, trying to use time to wear down her strength.

Chapter 43: Reversal of the Situation

Hawthorne fled frantically through the alleys and corridors.

However, in the area above where he had just escaped, two tall and thin men in black windbreakers were floating in the air above the roof. They were each holding a book, muttering to themselves, and then writing something on it: "It can be confirmed that the people under the Casalante family have a huge conflict with the Amazons. It is expected that their actions in the South Port area will be greatly hindered in the future..."

"The Casarant family was incompetent. The Illusionist's Armguard was confirmed lost before arriving at the port."

"We need to reconsider the capabilities of the Casarant family and the benefits they can bring to us in the future..."

The two of them quickly recorded a series of contents. Although the wording and sentence structure were different, the meaning was basically the same.

After writing down these, they considered their work completed. After that, they turned their attention back to the battlefield below, that is, to Uta and Hawthorne.

After seeing him fight to the death and purify Uta with the milky white light, the two were extremely surprised. One of them even exclaimed: "What kind of power is that?"

"I don't know. Let me see." Another person said, then raised his hand, made a few simple gestures, and recited a few short spells. Then, a striking blue light suddenly radiated from his eyes.

In fact, if he was willing to spend a little more time, make a more complicated set of hand seals, and recite the spell more lengthily, he could effectively save mana consumption.

However, just as Hawthorne can get a steady supply of mana replenishment on this night, now these two people do not need to worry about their own consumption at all.

Then, the blue light in his eyes fell on Huo Sang, and after a moment, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It seems... some very unique energy... I don't understand, it should be the innate power in his blood!"

The other person was immediately very surprised: "Even you can't understand it? It seems that this human really has some special bloodline..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think: "Should we help him? Judging from his condition, his mana should be running low?"

This is a reasonable guess. They have been observing below, but until now, Hawthorne has not cast a second-level spell.

This means that his caster level should be very low, and he has just experienced so many fierce battles, so his mana should have reached the bottom.

After a pause, the man continued, "I think that based on his talent and bloodline, he is very suitable to be our partner in the material world. What do you think?"

They are messengers from the eighth layer of the Nine Hells, two demon descendants with noble blood. They came to the material world this time to examine the true working ability of their old partners and to look for a new spokesperson.

When they accidentally passed each other in the slums that day, they were already attracted by Hawthorne's extraordinary charm. They felt that this human had decent talent and if he was trained well, he might become a good ally of theirs.

It was just that they were busy examining the capabilities of their old allies that day, so they didn't pay much attention. Unexpectedly, they would meet here today.

"I think that's great." The other man grinned, "By the way, we can also capture such a powerful monster. Lord Mephistopheles will definitely be very satisfied."

"He can't hold on any longer, let's go!"

"The old way?"

"Well, the old method! Move quickly. If you delay any longer, the people from the Black Staff will probably be here soon!"

After reaching an agreement, they immediately began to act. One of them began to make a set of complicated gestures and chanted a long and obscure spell.

The other person, standing right above Hawthorne, chanted a short spell:

On the ground, Hawthorne estimated the time and chanted a spell. Just as he put the "fake life" back on himself, he felt his feet suddenly tripped and his whole body fell forward uncontrollably!

boom!

His body fell heavily to the ground, but fortunately the dirt road was not hard and he didn't feel any pain.

But the consequences of this fall were very serious, as Uta was already close behind!

Damn it, why was I so careless at this time and let something like this go wrong!

Immediately, his heart was filled with regret, but it was too late to regret now. Yuta was already in front of him, and illusions began to appear in front of him again. A huge guillotine fell from the sky!

Hawthorne's heart was in his throat. He stepped back and chanted the spell: "Shield!"

hum-

boom--!

In an instant, a protective shield was formed, and the guillotine fell at the same time.

All the protective magic on his body was shattered, and a sharp pain came from his thigh, causing him to groan: "Ugh——!"

Fortunately, he had delayed long enough, otherwise if the shield spell had not been released, the two legs would have flown out directly!

But even so, the severe pain from his legs made Hawthorne clearly realize one thing: he couldn't run anymore!

The original plan completely failed because of this fall, and now he no longer has the qualifications to drag it on!

Is it possible that I am going to die at Yuta's hands?

No, no, I will never allow this outcome!

Fight her!

"Purify!"

He roared angrily, then touched the guillotine that appeared in disguise. Suddenly, a strong milky white glow instantly enveloped Yuta's body!
