Witch Monastery

"You...you actually fooled me!"

Realizing that she had been deceived, Madam Casalant was initially shocked, then flew into a rage: "You...you despicable liar!"

Hawthorne frowned, but didn't bother to look at the woman. He looked directly at Murphy: "Can you please tell your dog to be quiet? I want to have a quiet conversation."

Murphy shook his head: "No."

Hawthorne sighed: "Well, then, can you tell me what was detected in my blood? As the person involved, I think I still have a right to know."

Murphy thought for a moment, "I can tell you this. Uh, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

At the side, Mistress Casalant saw the two chatting as if they were alone and not taking her seriously at all. She was so angry that her asthma came back. Her chest heaved violently, making a sound like a bellows.

However, at this moment, because Murphy was talking to Hawthorne, she really didn't dare to interrupt, so even though she was extremely angry, she could only stare at Hawthorne with more and more hatred, and didn't dare to really do anything.

After hearing his words, Hawthorne's eyes lit up: "Listen to the good news first."

Murphy nodded: "The good news is that your blood contains the power inherited from countless ancient, noble and powerful people, from the great magicians, legendary generals, ancient silver dragons of the ancient Sayin Empire, to the chosen warriors of the South China Sea Islands, the magic saints, etc., all of whom have left their power in your blood."

Huo Sang nodded. He was not surprised by this result. The Sein Empire had conquered countless places during its expansion over the years.

Relying on its huge size, it takes all the weak ones as its own part.

Therefore, it is normal that the relics of many powerful people are mixed in his blood.

Then, he listened to Murphy's continued introduction: "But the bad news is that no matter which bloodline, the power left behind is extremely thin and can hardly meet the minimum requirements for awakening that we often see."

He said this with a sad look on his face: "That is to say, if there is no special opportunity, I am afraid you will never be able to gain any power from your bloodline in your entire life."

Hearing this, Hawthorne's expression was a little regretful: "Is that so? What a pity, I thought I could become stronger through this."

As he said this, Murphy's face also showed curiosity: "If you say so, I am also very curious, where does your power come from?"

"How come you, whose bloodline is so mediocre and who according to investigations has never attended a magic university, have acquired such powerful magical powers?"

Hawthorne restrained his emotions and then smiled: "Do you want to know?"

Murphy also smiled: "Think, will you tell me?"

Hawthorne nodded. "Why would you think not?"

He continued, "Well, actually, the main reason is that I study magic and exercise for at least four hours every day, and then purify evil spirits like you, such as demons and undead creatures, so that I can gain more powerful strength."

He said, spreading his hands: "This is the core reason why I have changed from an ordinary person to what I am now."

The demon on the other side didn't understand what he was talking about. He lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, that is to say, you signed a contract with a, uh, powerful entity that came from nowhere."

"If you complete the mission he issued to destroy the evil demons, he will give you stronger power as a reward?"

Beside him, Madam Casalant was stunned: "So, you are a sorcerer? Wait, so your master is a celestial being who hates evil demons?"

Hawthorne pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, if you think so, there's nothing I can do."

After hearing what the other party said, a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind: It seems that the relationship between him and the system is indeed quite similar to an alternative relationship between a sorcerer and a sect leader?

Hiss, so, in this fantasy world, is the system really a powerful entity without self-awareness, which only remembers to eliminate evil spirits and reward those who eliminate evil spirits?

For example, some super engines in the mechanical world?

No, even those super powerful engines seem unable to perform the many tasks that the system does so finely and directly erase the demon's soul.

that……

What is the essence of the system, and how powerful is it?

Chapter 514: The Troublesome Demon

Huo Sang was not sure, and countless thoughts and ideas emerged in his mind. Upon hearing this, the demon on the other side sighed, his expression was visibly disappointed: "So that's how it is, I thought your bloodline was very special, which led to this result..."

However, the demon quickly calmed down and his expression still looked elegant: "But I still have a question, dear Mr. Hawthorne, that is, how did you directly erase Regolas' soul that day?"

Hawthorne spread his hands: "I don't know either. Uh, it's the 'powerful being' you mentioned that gave me the power. Whether it's a demon or an undead creature, their souls will be wiped out directly: yes, it's that cruel."

As he said this, he looked at the demon in front of him and said with a smile: "You are included. Well, the next one is you."

The demon in front of him was thoughtful: "You are confident enough. Ah, I originally wanted to solve the problem through negotiation, but I am afraid that the powerful being who can do such a thing can't provide you with anything I can compare to."

As he spoke, he flexed his wrist, as if preparing to take action: "But it doesn't matter. As long as I capture you and dissect your soul, and study it carefully, all problems can be solved!"

Madam Casalant was stunned and turned to look at the devil: "Wait, you want to kill him? This is different from what we agreed. We..."

The demon glared at her and continued, "Idiot, when did I say I wanted to kill him? Hurry up and find a way to subdue him and brainwash him into a fool!"

"Don't think about those little things. He is the hero who destroyed the Lord of the Abyss! If he really escapes and tells others about what happened here, neither you nor I will be in trouble!"

He shouted angrily, awakening the fear in Madam Casalant's heart. She gritted her teeth, then turned her head to look at Hawthorne, her eyebrows raised: "Turn into an ice sculpture!"

call--

She didn't even recite a spell, she just raised her hand and endless cold wind appeared out of nowhere and enveloped Hawthorne.

However, at this moment, Hawthorne's expression changed and he chanted, "Absorb Elements!"

hum-

A large amount of freezing air was absorbed by him, and naturally, Madam Casalant's attempt to freeze him to death was in vain. Looking at the doubtful woman in front of him, Hawthorne showed a mocking smile: "You may be a noble and have many ways to trick others, but in the way of magic, you may not even be as good as those ordinary students in the magic university!"

He says

Then, he raised his left hand with the Illusionist's arm guard and made a set of mysterious and complicated gestures: "But I am much more skilled than you, Eldritch Blast!"

Four huge magic energy explosions opened in the air, and thick energy beams shot straight at the body of Madam Casalant. The fat woman suddenly felt her hair stand on end, and the pride and complacency that had grown from obtaining magic disappeared, replaced by an indescribable fear!

She couldn't even cast a protective spell. She just stood there in a daze, looking like she was ready to die!

In the end, the demon next to her raised his hand and quickly completed a spell: "Vortex Warp!"

Just as he finished the spell, the space around Madam Casalant's body twisted and formed a huge vortex. Her fat body was unable to block it, and she was sucked into it in the blink of an eye, and then sent to an unknown place.

And Hawthorne's four magic energy explosions all missed and hit the wall behind her!

Boom boom boom boom——!

The soil and rocks on the wall were twisted and broken down, forming several terrible pits in the blink of an eye. Countless stones were scattered everywhere and smashed everywhere in the blink of an eye.

Hawthorne was surprised and looked at the enemy in front of him: "Your move is not bad, right?"

He recognized the spell just now. It was a second-level spell called "Vortex Warp" that could send people to different locations: but the casting time of this spell could not be so short. He must have cast the metamagic specialty "Instant Spell" at the same time!

In response, the demon still kept smiling: "It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

As he spoke, his eyes gradually became sharper: "But, it is enough to deal with you."

A hint of murderous intent permeated his pupils, and a huge pressure suddenly came, causing Hawthorne to tremble!

"Absorb Elements!"

He subconsciously shouted out the spell of "absorb elements". Almost at the same second, a tremendous amount of icy air enveloped his body, almost freezing him!

This demon has a very powerful spellcasting ability!

He thought to himself, then gritted his teeth, stepped forward under the pressure, drew out his staff, and quickly recited the hexblade's curse: "Hexblade's curse!"

The power of the curse hung on this demon, and then four huge circular magic circles appeared behind him. This time, he also used his super magic "instant spell", and then four, eight circular magic circles appeared behind him!

He felt the pressure, so he decided to use the same fighting style he used to kill Mompot to forcibly seize the rhythm of the battle!

However, even though he was firing at full power, the demon still looked calm and composed. He took a step forward, summoned a shield, and the aura of magic appeared. Most of Hawthorne's magic energy flew past the edge of his body, and the few that hit him failed to break through the defense of his shield!

However, at this time, Huo Sang did not expect the magic energy explosion to achieve any results. He strode like the wind and rushed to the demon. A flash of light passed by, and the double-headed sword was already in his hand.

Then, he chopped down the man in front of him: "Purification!"

During the chat just now, he had already taken the time to inject magic power into the magic book he carried with him, so the magic buffs such as long stride and false life were silently added to himself. Naturally, he ran very fast at this time, and in this narrow space, it was more conducive to his performance in close combat!

"Misty Step!"

The demon chanted the spell of Phantom Steps, and his body instantly turned into a ball of smoke, rushing to five meters behind Hawthorne and reorganizing itself.

He stared at the white light on Hawthorne's sword, his face showing obvious surprise: "This, this is... wrong, this shouldn't be the case, this is not in line with the law of order..."

He muttered to himself, as if he had discovered something incredible. Hawthorne turned around and looked at the enemy who was still at ease, and felt the pressure in his heart increase a little!

Hiss, this guy is a bit difficult to deal with.

Is he Regolas's superior, rather than a colleague?

Is that woman, Madam Casalant, so valuable that the Nine Hells would send such a powerful person to stay in her house?

No, no matter how he arranged it, anyway, since the opponent is so difficult...

"Celine!" he suddenly shouted, "Kill him!"

Knowing that his spellcasting ability is inferior to his opponent's, he still insisted on fighting. This was not his style. Since the opponent was obviously stronger than him, he should call for help immediately!

Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly lit up from mid-air, and Celine Celine, who was jumping through space with the "Flash Technique", appeared in this small room.

She was still wearing the luxurious white nun's clothes, and her beautiful face was full of seriousness. She also came with him tonight, but she didn't like this kind of occasion of feasting and drinking, so she hid in the dark. If Hawthorne was fine, she wouldn't have to show up; and if there were enemies that he couldn't solve, she would do it herself.

At this moment, she obviously realized the difficulty of this enemy, so she raised her hand and the seven-ring spell Prismatic Spray flew out of her hand: "Prismatic Spray!"

hum-

The dazzling colorful light instantly filled the small room and completely engulfed the demon's body.

"call……"

At the back, Hawthorne took a few steps back and looked up at Celine's tall figure in front of him, his heart pounding. Even though the powerful witch was right beside him, he didn't feel safe at all at this moment, but felt more and more in danger!

Gradually, the colorful rainbow light went out. Hawthorne looked forward and saw that the demon was standing there almost unharmed, as if the seven-ring spell had no effect on him.

And in front of him, an invisible wall seemed to divide the entire world into two halves.

In an instant, Hawthorne also recognized what kind of ability it was.

Force field wall!

It can block all forces, whether it is divine power, magic, psionic power, natural force or chaotic energy, this thing can block them all and achieve almost invincible defense!

Hawthorne's face looked a little ugly. The demon in front of him was indeed a powerful wizard who was extremely proficient in magic. The relaxed attitude he displayed made him even more unsure!

But fortunately, the force field wall is not omnipotent...

"Shilin, tear this place down!" he growled, "Expand the battlefield and fight him in a bigger place!"

The force field wall is very effective, but it also has some disadvantages: first, it cannot be moved; second, its area is very small!

Therefore, in some narrow terrains - such as in an underground dark room like this one - the power of this spell will become extremely powerful.

However, if the battlefield is expanded, the space it can enclose will be small enough to be negligible!

Although he only knew a relatively small number of spells - especially high-level spells - and could rarely intervene in a fight of this level, his understanding of the game and experience in fighting were enough to help Celine gain a greater advantage!

Chapter 515 The True Form of the Devil Duke

Celine naturally would not object to Hawthorne's judgment. She then raised her hand and fired a huge tracer bullet. In an instant, with a bang, the ceiling of the basement was pierced.

Countless pieces of debris fell, and Hawthorne had to retreat quickly, while activating the shield technique to protect himself so as to avoid a bloody head.

While he was dodging in a panic, Celine had already leaped up into the air, looking down at the demons below. She took a deep breath and cast another spell: "Sunburst!"

Eighth-ring spell, Yangyan Explosion!

This was a spell that Celine finally mastered after the monastery was upgraded to level three and Celine's power was also upgraded. Combined with her nearly infinite magic power as a witch, she almost summoned a real sun!

In the basement, the demon's face changed for a moment, and then, an absolutely smooth ice wall suddenly stood in front of him, hoping to reflect the sunlight created by Celine.

Om-!

The dazzling light shot straight to the ground, and then was reflected by the ice crystals and shot up into the sky, piercing through several floors of the Casalant family's ceiling and projecting directly into the endless sky!

Bathed in the reflected light, Celine's expression was fearless. As a witch, she was immune to damage from the light she created.

She maintained the power of the spell, and part of the light passed through the ice crystals and burned onto the body of the demon, finally beginning to cause effective damage to him!

"Ahem...ah..."

The demon seemed unable to bear it, and coughed lightly, then sighed: "Actually, I didn't want to start a war."

"But I have to say, Lord Hawthorne, you have brought me another surprise. The strength of your subordinates is really beyond my expectations."

A strong bad premonition emerged in Hawthorne's heart. Then, he saw the demon took a step forward, and his body continued to grow larger. Two pairs of upward curved horns grew above his eyebrows, and a pair of huge bat wings opened behind him. "You should feel honored to be able to handle this matter in your original form, Earl Hawthorne!"

When he saw his true face, Hawthorne couldn't help but open his eyes wide, unable to believe what he saw.

Mephistopheles!

How could he not remember the face of this BOSS? He had defeated this guy countless times in the game!
