Witch Monastery

The bodies of these evil spirits in the material world are just projections of their real bodies in the Abyss or the Nine Hells. Their real bodies have never moved. Therefore, what people kill in the material world is just an illusion.

Only by going deep into their lairs and killing their real bodies can their existence be permanently wiped out - but obviously, this process is very dangerous. Even legendary adventurers often dare not go deep into the bottomless abyss and hunt down a target among endless demons.

Therefore, sealing demons away is often a cheaper and more effective option than killing them.

However, even if they were killed, it wouldn't be a big problem. For these evil spirits, the material world is not a place where they can come and go as they please.

After being shattered this time, it was unknown how long it would take for them to come to the material world again. For the time being, they were no longer a threat.

This time, the demons lost one person, and the situation changed from eight against five to seven against five. Because the demons were highly resistant to fire and poison, Cuibisi and Ekta still did not take action.

The weakest Andreni did not take action either, as her strength was of little help. From the looks of the situation, the demons still seemed to have the advantage in numbers.

But it has an absolute disadvantage in strength.

According to the information collected in the early years of the Monster Manual, Heidi's challenge level before being purified was six, while Jutta and Cuibis were both seven, and Die was five. After recovering her memory, it can reach ten.

——Although this is not very accurate, for example, Cuibisi cannot defeat any witch in the monastery, but roughly speaking, some differences can be seen from here.

And now, after experiencing the Witch Night and the monastery upgrade, and after the new power bestowed by the goddess statue, the strength of the witches, especially Heidi, has increased by leaps and bounds, and it is no problem to deal with these guys!

What's more, these guys fight without any order and can't even cooperate. It's only a matter of time before they are defeated!

In the back, Ines, who was watching the battle, saw all this and almost broke her teeth.

How can this be? !

Rainbow Light Jet, this is a seventh-level spell that can only be mastered by a powerful wizard of level thirteen!

How could this nun be able to master it?! Isn't this a small monastery on the verge of bankruptcy?!

Before invading here, Inès had conducted what she thought was a comprehensive and rigorous investigation of the monastery, and discovered that this was just a small monastery of the goddess of life, which was already crumbling due to property problems.

In order to solve the problem of money, they have had to develop many other businesses recently, such as selling groceries and clothing. Ines even maliciously speculated that if these businesses continued to lose money, these nuns would start selling themselves secretly, turning the holy monastery into a de facto brothel...

In short, she looked down on these incompetent and overly nice nuns. In her opinion, the biggest threat here was obviously the Amazons who bought the houses here at a low price, and since they didn't take action now, her plan should go smoothly.

Why, why did things turn out like this!

She was confused, puzzled, and angry, with a fire burning in her heart. When her anger reached its limit, she suddenly raised her head, and her pair of pale yellow vertical pupils, filled with hatred, stared straight at Hawthorne who was guarding the door of Marlena's room.

There's no other way, I have to do it myself!

Anyway, even if those demons die, they can be resurrected in the bottomless abyss. I just need to summon them again.

As for those mortals? Humans are only fit to be cannon fodder, and the sacrifice of cannon fodder is nothing!

Therefore, as long as we deal with this man and capture the people inside, tonight's mission can still be considered successfully completed, and our plan can continue to move forward!

It’s decided, let’s get rid of him!

As soon as she thought of this, she spread the weak wings behind her waist, and with a light flap, a strong wind was raised, carrying her light body into the sky.

At this time, the effect of Celine's rainbow light spray had ended, and the sky had returned to safety, so she looked down at Hawthorne below, with a smile on her lips: "Handsome guy over there, can you let me in the house?"

Chapter 202: This is... squeezed out by Malena? !

Along with Inès's voice, there was also an invisible magic. Succubi did not only rely on their physical charm to seduce humans, but magic was also an indispensable auxiliary tool for them.

But unfortunately, below, Hawthorne was unmoved, holding his shield and sword, still looking at her as if he were facing a powerful enemy.

Are you kidding? He has cultivated the magic will and is now at level six. His spellcasting attribute is still full and he can be easily charmed. That's really hilarious.

"I don't know how to praise!"

Inès cursed inwardly. Tonight, she had suffered one blow after another: her intelligence was wrong, she couldn't win in a head-on fight, and now even her most proud charm had failed...

The frustration in her heart turned into anger, her face became stern again, she raised her hand, and shot a flaming arrow at him.

This guy looks like a paladin or an arcane knight. He is definitely not good at long-range attacks. I can easily kill him by shooting from the sky!

There can’t be any more accidents this time, right?

As she thought this, Hawthorne below her quickly blocked it with her shield: "Absorb Elements!"

hum-

The magic light lit up, and most of the fire element was absorbed. However, feeling the high temperature coming from the shield, which was similar to boiling water, Hawthorne couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

it hurts!

The caster level of this succubus is not low!

but……

Does this guy want to engage in a long-range duel with me?

Looking at the succubus flying in the sky, with flames appearing in its hands and a smug smile on its face, Hawthorne put down his shield and laughed secretly in his heart: You may not know that long-range ability is my strongest means of output at present.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and threw the sword in his hand into starlight, which disappeared into the air.

Then he made a hand gesture with his right hand, and the effect of the curse sword was first hung on her body through the air, and then chanted the spell: "Eldritch Blast!"

Then, four basin-sized magic circles appeared right above his body. Four thick but invisible energy beams shot towards the succubus in the sky.

The smile on Ines' face froze. She frantically flapped her wings, trying to dodge. However, the four explosions of magic energy almost blocked all her retreat routes. She would be hit by at least two of them!

Bang bang——!

"Well--!"

Two energy beams hit her body, triggering the curse in her body. She groaned in pain, and her body

The severe pain inside and outside her body almost made her lose the ability to move!

Damn, this guy actually has another trick up his sleeve!

No, I can’t defeat him with this body!

Must run!

With this thought in mind, the succubus turned around and wanted to fly away. But Hawthorne would never give her this opportunity. The range of the magic energy explosion was far, and she was not able to fly out of the range of this spell.

Without any thought of showing any mercy, he raised his hand again, chanted a spell, and four more energy beams shot out -

bang bang bang-

"what--!"

This time his aim was very good, and all four energy beams hit the target. The powerful energy instantly tore the succubus into pieces. In the dark night sky, only a shrill scream was still echoing.

At this point, the battle is over.

Hawthorne breathed a sigh of relief, but then he frowned.

No vitality returned to me?

The ability of "Curse of the Cursed Sword", in addition to increasing single-time damage, also has another effect: if the cursed creature dies, the power of the curse will return part of the deceased's vitality to the caster, thereby healing the caster's injuries.

Huo Sang was not uninjured now. The flaming arrow had slightly burned his body. He had intended to rely on the vitality returned by the curse sword to heal these minor injuries, but he did not expect...

That succubus faked her death and went into hiding?

When he thought of this, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

This guy must have other purposes!

With this guess in mind, he looked up into the distance. Over there, Celine and the others' battle had also ended. Although the process was somewhat bumpy, with their abilities, it was still easy for them to deal with a few young demons.

Hawthorne then said to the mosquito beside his ear: "The succubus ran away. I thought I had killed her, but it turned out that I hadn't. She faked her death!"

"Think of a way to search the surrounding area. She probably can't get far. We must not let her return to the Abyss Lord!"

Moments later, Mosquito sent him a response from the witches. The witches even captured a few demon descendants and kidnappers as captives, and now Cuibisi took them to the dungeon to be interrogated later, while Heidi and the other four main combat forces went to look for the missing succubus.

After arranging these things, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he looked around, seeing the bodies of seven or eight kidnappers lying all over the ground, and then looked at the house where the Amazon women lived, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, during the previous house-buying process, some Amazon women who were unaware of his strength and did not understand whether the monastery was easy to offend had tried to lower the price in various ways and with an unreasonable attitude.

In this regard, Hawthorne couldn't ask Porter for help every time, nor did he want to conflict with the biggest local boss in Nangang District. Therefore, he felt it was very troublesome and it has always been a worry for him.

But after tonight...

Haha, these guys will probably realize how powerful they are in the future.

However, the Amazon's troubles were only minor issues. He was more worried about something else.

That Abyss Lord has already found his place...

Their target was Little Lisa, and perhaps Celine, who had betrayed them. But they had already found the location of his lair, and he was afraid that there would be endless troubles in the future.

It is said that a thief will steal for a thousand days, but it is not true that you can guard against thieves for a thousand days. In addition, Nidalee's tribe is also deeply troubled by this lord of the abyss, so next...

Hawthorne pursed his lips, looked up to the northwest, and had made up his mind.

The Black Rod Tower must have discovered the trace of the Abyss Lord. Why not go there myself and solve this trouble once and for all before winter comes!

Putting these thoughts aside, he turned around and walked back to Malena's room to see how they were doing.

Fortunately, the mother and daughter were no longer panicking. Seeing him coming over with blood on his body, Marlena secretly swallowed her saliva, then supported his arm with concern, and at the same time pulled a stool over and asked him to sit down: "Are you okay? Are you injured? Let me check you?"

Hawthorne shook his head: "I'm fine, it's nothing, it's someone else's blood. Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Marlena shook her head: "We've checked, we're fine, please sit down and rest for a while."

Hawthorne wanted to be polite again, but he couldn't resist Malena's enthusiasm and fatigue, so he had to sit on the stool and let out a long sigh.

"I'll get you something to drink."

Little Lisa was very sensible. After saying this, she turned around and ran to the dining table, looking around.

After she found that there was still half a cup of milk in a large wooden cup, she was overjoyed. She stretched out her two white hands, picked up the large wooden cup, and then turned and ran towards Hawthorne: "Father, please drink the milk!"

"Okay, thank you." Hawthorne said, reaching out to take the cup without any precautions.

At the side, Marlena looked at the cup held by little Lisa, and her expression suddenly changed. She had realized what it was, but it was inconvenient to say it directly at this moment. For a moment, she felt extremely anxious, as if a little animal was tickling her heart.

Here, Hawthorne put the cup to his lips and was about to drink when he suddenly smelled a

A faint fishy smell.

Immediately, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Strange, what is this smell?

Is this milk spoiled?

He was thinking this in his heart, but little Lisa was standing beside him, looking at him with big eyes and a smile, as if she was expecting him to drink it.

Unable to bear to disappoint her, Hawthorne gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort, and drank the already cold milk.

Ok?

Why does it have a slightly sweet taste?

Is this sweetened milk?

No, milk doesn’t taste like this... Could it be goat’s milk?

It seems not...

Wait, could it be that...

Chapter 203: Do you think this milk tastes good?

Wait, could it be that...

Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in Hawthorne's mind. And the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was close to the truth!

With this thought in mind, he turned his head slightly in disbelief, and secretly glanced at Malena's expression. He saw that the latter's face was flushed, she was at a loss, and she looked extremely embarrassed, as if she had something to suffer but couldn't say it!

Immediately, he confirmed his guess. For a moment, his heart began to beat wildly and his face began to feel hot.

The milk in here is really squeezed out by Malena!

Realizing this, he suddenly became flustered and his expression was a little difficult to control. Coincidentally, Malena suddenly looked over here at this time, and the two of them inevitably stared at each other.

Noticing the embarrassment on each other's faces, at this moment, both of them knew that the other not only knew what was in the cup, but also knew that the other knew what was in their minds at the moment...

There was a silence in the air, and awkwardness was spreading. Only young Lisa was still unaware, after all, her mother had never squeezed her breast milk into a cup before, so she thought it was leftover milk from the night before.

Proud of her mother's skill in boiling milk, she innocently asked Hawthorne, "Father, is it delicious?"

Hawthorne gritted his teeth and nodded awkwardly: "Yeah, it tastes very good."

"As long as you like it, the milk that mom cooks tastes the best." Hearing this, little Lisa was immediately happier. "You can come often in the future. Mom will prepare plenty of milk for you to drink every day."

"Mom always says, 'You have helped us so much, we don't know how to repay you!'"
