Witch Monastery

Chapter 739 Ekta's True Body

"Uh……"

Aside, Ekta was roaring in a low voice, with a hint of pain in her voice. For some reason, her tone seemed to become deeper and thicker, as if a raging fire was burning in her throat, interfering with the normal sound of her vocal cords.

She was indeed burning with fire, and it was almost out of control. Her nun's clothes, which had been well protected, were now gradually ignited, making the fire on her body burn even more vigorously!

Hawthorne took a look at her current state, and then looked at the Balrog that had turned into ashes on the ground, and immediately understood what was going on: Ekta used his power to devour all the magic power in the Balrog's body, leaving it without even the strength to self-destruct. Under the erosion of the power of purification, it could only despair and turn into ashes!

I see... But that's right, attacking Ekta with fire is like attacking the sea with heavy rain. Instead of being hurt, the latter will absorb the falling rain and make itself stronger!

Hawthorne thought so, but looking at her posture at the moment, he couldn't help but feel worried.

But at this moment, Ekta didn't have time to sigh. She took a step forward and continued to shout, "Master, there are two more, let's go!"

She seemed to be in a state of extreme fanaticism at the moment, completely disregarding her own physical and mental state. Her mind was filled with the desire to destroy the two terrifying Balrog demons as soon as possible and turn them all into ashes!

"Know!"

Hawthorne suppressed the many worries in his mind, responded in a deep voice, then drew out his double-headed sword, spread Tasha's extraordinary wings behind him, and rushed straight towards the Balrog in front.

Normally, he should have kept his distance and stayed in a safe position.

Start attacking.

But now, since Ekta can suppress or even absorb the flames of these Balrogs, he doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore. He can take up his own artifact and fight him to the death in close combat!

"Weird human!"

In front, the powerful Balor Flame Demon was speaking the blasphemous Abyss Language, but unfortunately few people present could understand it, so they all treated it as a meaningless strange roar.

Ekta didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, she stretched out her legs and charged straight forward. The Balrog had also seen the fate of his own people just now, and didn't dare to fight her head-on, but actually took a half step back, then raised the lightning sword in his right hand high, and chopped down heavily towards Ekta's head -

However, at this moment, a stream of blue light appeared, accompanied by a short spell: "Absorb Elements!"

It's Hawthorne!

He held up the double-headed sword and used the protection of the spell "Absorb Elements" to steadily block the three-meter-long sword of the Balrog. Even though his body was numbed by the electric shock, he was not afraid at all, and instead a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, the power of Balor's weapon, the Lightning Sword, is very great. However, this sword is a weapon made of pure elements after all, and it is still restrained by "Absorbing Elements"!

Therefore, Hawthorne was not afraid of this sword at all. No matter how powerful it was, after most of it was absorbed by the "Absorbing Elements", there would not be much killing power left; and when it was blocked by the "false life" of the Five Rings, it could not cause much damage to him in the end!

He had been dodging here and there before only because he was afraid of being tied up by the flame whip, losing his flexibility, and being put in a completely passive position to be beaten; but now that Ekta has the ability to abolish all of this, he no longer needs to dodge or avoid fighting!

What's more, now that he felt that the tingling sensation from the lightning was not as great as he had expected, he felt even more confident.

After all, the most powerful force of the Balrog is still his fire!

"You, target!"

The Balrog roared, swung his left hand, and instantly swung out a long flaming whip, wrapping around Hawthorne's body.

But this time, Hawthorne did not dodge, allowing the scorching flame whip to completely wrap around him. Then he flapped his wings behind him vigorously, and before the Balrog could pull him back, he threw himself directly into Ekta's arms!

The latter hugged Hawthorne and suddenly felt that Ekta seemed to be much taller than before.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Ekta stretched out her jade hand and grasped the flaming whip. In an instant, it was the Balor Flame Demon who was unable to move. He lost control of the flaming whip and even the flaming power in his body!

"No!" It roared, and raised the lightning sword in its right hand again. But at this time, Hawthorne had easily broken free from the restraints, cast the "Absorb Elements" spell again, and held up the double-headed sword to fight with the Balrog again -

The blinding electric light almost illuminated the night, and the red flames on the body of the blazing fire demon quickly dimmed, revealing his flesh that looked like black basalt.

On the contrary, Ekta's body became brighter and brighter. Her body seemed to be expanding and growing bigger. Because she absorbed too much fire power, she became radiant uncontrollably!

"Well--!"

She growled in her throat, realizing that she could not control so much energy. After all, the strength of each Balrog was even greater than that of Celine, and she was just one of the weakest witches in the monastery. The gap between the two was like a chasm!

But at this moment, she knew that only she could do this, and only in this way could she help her master. She no longer considered whether she had reached her limit, and now all she wanted was to end it all as soon as possible!

Her consciousness gradually became groggy, as if she had come into contact with an unknown chaos. Her power continued to expand. In front of her, Hawthorne's double-headed sword pierced into the chest of the Balrog, cleansing the evil power in its body with purifying light, turning it into ashes. Ekta finally reached her limit!

hum-

Her body began to swell uncontrollably, turning into a giant ball of light three meters high. It continued to grow larger, becoming four meters, five meters, six meters and even higher, like an expanding white balloon that was about to explode in the next moment!

Terrifying heat was released from her body, creating a shocking heat wave around her. The powerful magic power was surging around her, setting the surrounding houses on fire and making the place even more chaotic!

On this night with two moons hanging high in the sky, Ekta is like a sun on the earth!

"What is that?" In front, Kassadin, who was fighting with the blind Balrog, turned back and asked with confusion but worry.

Eric and Tierrastron also watched all this intently. After a long time, the latter uttered a word: "It's... a witch."

Ethan and the others' faces were filled with shock. At this moment, they finally understood why Ekta's talent for fire was so good, why her magic power was almost inexhaustible, and at the same time why, apart from fire-related spells, she couldn't cast even a single other type of spell!

The reason is simple, yet outrageous, because she is not a human being at all, but a witch!

Ekta is a girl who disguises herself as a human and hides in human society.

, an indescribable terrifying existence!

As for the terrifying fireball, that was Ekta's true form. Her true appearance as a witch, a twisted creature made purely of chaotic energy!

Powerful, fiery, and brilliant, it's terrifying, yet fascinating!

The terrifying heat, almost exceeding that of the Balrog, emanated from her body. In addition, as her body deformed, there was also a tremendous and terrifying magic power, as well as countless spiritual energies, which made everyone who looked at her feel not only burning eyes, but also a slight tingling in the brain!

Chapter 740: The Witch Who Devoured the Flame Demon

Everyone present was shocked by this scene. It was not only their eyes that were impacted, but also their spirits and emotions.

They could never have imagined that Ekta, who had been lively and cheerful all along and who would take the initiative to shoulder heavy responsibilities in battle, would actually be a witch!

Many people stood there in a daze for a moment, staring blankly at everything, and even forgot that this was a harsh battlefield and there was a terrifying Balrog waiting for them to destroy!

Later, Hawthorne couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of the series of troubles that followed, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

However, after all, there was a powerful enemy in front of him, so he had to suppress all these complicated thoughts and took a step forward, roaring: "Cooperate with Ekta to destroy the last Balrog!"

As he spoke, he took the lead, holding up his double-headed sword and rushed forward. The rest of the people woke up as if from a dream, and shouted loudly, casting spells again to fight the enemy.

"Roar--!"

The last Balrog was still waving his weapon recklessly, fighting with Anor and Kasa. His eyes were blinded by Celine and Fatima, and although he heard the fierce fighting, he had no idea what was happening around him.

It just instinctively launched an attack, trying to destroy everything around it. As the most powerful demon in the Abyss, possessing the most powerful heat and flames, it has always been so confident and so reckless.

Until a fire more terrible than itself swept over it, enveloping it completely.

Hawthorne swooped down from the air, and seeing that the flames on this guy were almost extinguished, he rushed to him and thrust his weapon into him without waiting for them to completely extinguish. "Purification!"

laugh--

The sharp edge of the double-headed sword pierced into the chest of the last Balrog like a knife cutting tofu. Then a milky white light lit up and swept across its entire body!

"Roar--!"

The Balrog roared, trying to continue resisting. However, Ekta's body suddenly expanded further, completely enveloping it: "Aiya——!"

She was burning, and a strange sound came from the center of the light ball. She absorbed the flames from the body of the Balrog and continued to assimilate its power into a part of herself!

Is she eating this fire demon?

Watching Ekta's actions, Hawthorne couldn't help but come up with such a bold guess in his mind.

And as if to confirm his thoughts, unlike the previous purifications, the body of this Balor Flame Demon quickly lost temperature, dimmed in a moment, and then began to dissipate, like a pile of burnt wood, leaving only ashes on the ground.

At this point, all the Balrog demons that attacked them have been eliminated, and the battle can be temporarily declared over.

"Roar……"

A low roar came from Ekta's body, as if after consuming the surging flames in the body of the Balrog, her mind showed signs of losing control again.

After all, that was the most powerful demon in the Abyss, and the Abyss itself was the most chaotic and crazy place in the multiverse. If you were to have any connection with the power of that place, you would not end up well!

Huo Sang was quick-witted and before she could do anything, he suddenly reached out and reached into her illusory body made of pure energy, and silently chanted again: "Purification!"

hum-

A warm white light lit up and immediately enveloped her body. The restless and out-of-control energy was soon forced to stabilize and become docile and controllable.

Then, her huge, shining body continued to shrink, and in a moment, her size became smaller than Hawthorne, and then gradually took shape and became the slim appearance of a girl.

Finally, the shining fire on her body gradually disappeared and went out, turning back into the delicate skin of a human being and her long fiery red hair.

Her appearance has returned to what it was when she was disguised as a human, but the embarrassing thing is that her nun uniform had been burned up in the previous explosion, and now she is naked, with her entire body exposed.

Hawthorne was quick-witted and took a step forward, holding her whole body in his arms to cover her exposed spring scenery.

Then, he took a deep breath. Even if he didn't turn his head, he knew that at this moment, everyone's eyes were on him, waiting for his reaction.

It's troublesome...

He sighed in his heart, but he also knew that the more it was a time like this, the more he couldn't panic.

He suppressed his anxiety and pretended to be calm and composed. Then he turned around and said to the person behind him, "Celine, bring a nun's uniform. Ekta's clothes have been burned."

His voice was still calm, with an unbearable

The men in the field seemed to have just woken up from their dreams. Although all the lights were extinguished and the light of the two moons was slightly dim, they could not see anything at this distance, but they turned around consciously and faced their backs to the two of them.

Celine stepped forward, reached into her dimensional bag, and took out a dark nun's uniform. Others, such as Kassadin and Tierras, were still standing there, speechless, still finding it hard to accept this, and feeling somewhat uncertain.

Fatima's chest was rising and falling slightly, even though she no longer needed to breathe. She suddenly understood why Hawthorne, as a clergyman, was willing to keep her by his side and help her fulfill her wish.

Are you kidding? He can even keep witches by his side, so I am still a creature from the material world, why can’t I stay?

In her mind, a mess of thoughts were swirling around.

Suddenly, An Nuo was the first to react. She stepped forward and quickly caught up with Celine. Together with her, they walked to Hawthorne's side and said, "Haothorne, you should go back. It's not convenient for you as a man to be here. Celine and I will take care of her."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to reach out, took Ekta and held her in her arms: "Oh, it's so hot."

She seemed to be disgusted and deliberately spoke in a tone. Hawthorne was a little surprised. He looked at the girl and couldn't organize his words for a while: "You..."

An Nuo lowered his head and didn't look at him, as if he hadn't figured out what to say.

Her thoughts were in a mess, with countless questions and conjectures in her mind. But her intuition told her that now was not a good time to dig into the root of the problem and investigate Hawthorne's many problems, so she suppressed all her thoughts.

However, she also felt a little uneasy when she felt Hawthorne's complicated gaze. She took a deep breath, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She turned her head and shouted to the back: "Ms. Fatima, come over and help."

As she said this, she exhaled and spoke instinctively, "Undead creatures should have more experience in taking care of witches, right? Ah, I'm not sure..."

She spoke almost gibberish, then forced a smile at Hawthorne, as if to reassure him.

In an instant, Hawthorne understood.

Anno deliberately called Fatima over to express a point instinctively: even if an undead creature like Fatima joined our team, she could accept it, let alone Ekta?

After all, the former was a strange enemy before, while the latter was a trustworthy comrade who had fought side by side countless times.

So she actually didn't mind it. She just wanted to take good care of her comrades and help this girl recover as soon as possible.

Realizing her current state of mind, Hawthorne was immediately moved. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work, dear."

These were words that he had been used to saying, but at this moment, Hawthorne felt more relaxed than ever before. His words, spoken from the bottom of his heart, also made An Nuo's heart tremble for some reason, and then his face turned slightly red: "What are you talking about? You are still here, still looking!"

As she spoke, she held Ekta completely in her arms, so that his eyes could not see even a trace of her beauty.

Fatima also walked over to them, and Hawthorne made way for her. He walked to the back with a relaxed mood, and found that everyone's expressions were extremely complicated and their movements were quite awkward.

"Ah, ha, no wonder Miss Ekta is so talented." After a moment, Ethan spoke first. His dragon face was visibly embarrassed, and he laughed and made small talk: "This, I have to admit, haha, no matter how hard we try, we can't catch up with her..."

She said this, trying to lighten the atmosphere, but it didn't seem to ease it much. Tierrasz stared at Hawthorne, and then asked directly: "Father Hawthorne, Miss Ekta, who is she?"

Hawthorne took a deep breath and did not answer the question directly. Instead, he said, "She is a nun in my monastery. She is a kind and reliable spellcaster."

Chapter 741 Hanni’s Breaking News

Hawthorne's answer made everyone look at each other in bewilderment. But then, recalling their interactions along the way, Ekta's behavior, and how he desperately tried to save them tonight, he had no choice but to reveal his true nature...

Tirastri raised his head, looked at the two moons in the sky, closed his eyes, and recalled a lot of information.

The night of the double moon is also called the Witch Night. On such a night, the witches will lose control and go crazy.

However, Ekta did not lose control and go crazy. This may mean...

She pondered for a long time before she opened her eyes again, lowered her head, and said no more: "Okay, I understand, thank you for your answer."

After a pause, she changed the subject and said, "Are you okay now? Let me treat your wound."

Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Well, thank you."

Tierrastri then began to chant a spell, and beside him, Eric played his violin and began to pray for healing. Gentle magical power filled the air around them, and the burns on their bodies were slowly recovering.

In front, Anno and the others had helped Ekta put on her nun uniform again, and were now supporting her as she walked towards this side. Although the battlefield was still in chaos, the six Balrog Flame Demons had been destroyed.
