Witch, don't be so lazy

He suddenly fell to his knees, and the severe pain from his limbs made his face become distorted.

The white cloak and clothes also tore apart, and then several secret letters and two thin books floated out from inside, slowly unfolding in the air.

"I just turned the Desolate Cult's compound upside down, including your stinking room and secret chamber, but all I found were some gold coins and useless junk. The only thing related to the Calamity Cult was the account book, recording the money and resources you sent them."

"So I thought the important things might have been burned, and I had to torture them. But I didn't expect you to still carry the things with you—"

"The key points of summoning zombies, the experience of transforming negative energy, and these letters."

Anke quickly scanned the contents of the secret letter, frowned, and then looked at Thornes again.

The latter was now kneeling on the snow, but his head was held high.

It wasn't that Thornes wanted to use this to express his indomitable will, but mainly because his hair was being lifted up by his telekinetic arm, forcing him to raise his head.

"By the way, what did you just say you were thinking about?"

Meeting the gaze, Thornes forced an ugly smile on his distorted face.

"I, I want to say, honorable Miss Anke, there are only some minor misunderstandings between us. As long as you are willing to forgive me and give me a chance to reconcile, I swear to serve you for the rest of my life."

"Huh? I blew up your gang, and you're still trying to reconcile? How spineless!"

An Ke blinked, and first controlled her telekinetic hand to throw the remains of the zombies to a farther place. Although the zombie explosion should not reach her at this distance, it was still better to be cautious.

"Look at what you said. I was born with a weak constitution..."

"Don't worry, you won't die for a while."

Thornes was ecstatic, but when he saw the girl patting the suitcase with a smile and heard the following words,

"Otherwise, I've worked so hard all this way and brought so many things. I should at least use them. And what if the secret letter you carry with you is not authentic?"

Thornes' expression froze, and he suddenly felt a foreboding premonition.

……

The "Touch of Corruption" trick includes a four-axis scroll and a bottle of "Ashes Potion".

This is used to add blood.

"Vitality Potion", several "Fire Power" scrolls, and a wizard's hand blessed with flames.

This is for interrogation.

The whole process didn't last too long.

Because Thornes confessed everything at once, and I don’t know if it was because he was too psychologically fragile. It was obvious that Anke was just verifying the information with a truth-seeking and pragmatic attitude, but he just collapsed.

The ability to think seemed to be lost, and besides wailing, all he knew was cursing:

"Dark wizard, you damn dark wizard..."

Pure slander.

An Ke herself is a good citizen holding a magician certificate, and is considered a little cutie in everyone's eyes.

Even the origins of the interrogation techniques were very formal. When Celine Weier was interrogating the monsters in Hongyan Town, she was watching from the side.

How can a genuine member of the Witch Hunting Group be called a dark wizard!

An Ke pursed her lips.

A thought came to my mind.

The Hand of the Mage ended Thornes.

At the same time, [Devil's Gospel].

All of a sudden.

A blue halo lit up from the man's body, and within it one could vaguely see a ghost shrouded in black mist, which was rapidly disappearing.

Not all creatures can become ghosts after death. Generally speaking, if they are not extraordinary beings and have no rank, they are at best a ball of illusory flame.

This is the origin of the so-called soul fire.

Normally, ordinary people cannot see the souls of the dead, evil spirits, resentful spirits and other spirits unless they deliberately use their abilities to reveal themselves.

Otherwise, other means must be used. The most typical one is "Clairvoyance", one of the advanced forms of Insight, and "Soul Perception" of the School of Necromancy. Of course, some potions and props can also vaguely sense spirits.

And with the Eye of Judgment, An could easily see the dead souls.

As her gift activated, Thornes's soul seemed to be drawn irresistibly.

It was like washing away all the dirt and removing all the impurities. Then a large number of white spots of light floated out from the soul and instantly poured into Encore's body.

The remaining soul dregs of those helpless VIII Lingqi arts completely disintegrated and disappeared into nothingness.

warm.

Anke felt as if he had enjoyed a sumptuous meal. After eating and drinking his fill, a sense of satisfaction naturally rose in his heart.

She couldn't help but think that maybe those demons were just greedy for this comfortable enjoyment, so they were willing to use all kinds of tricks to plunder souls.

Of course, it must be emphasized here that Encore is a good kid, not an evil demon.

The changes after swallowing are also very gratifying.

As a first-level mage, Thornes is indeed not on the same level as those ordinary monsters with weak souls and the leaders of the Huangtu Gang.

According to Anke's own judgment, her mental strength has increased by nearly one-eighteenth compared to before.

Don't underestimate this increase. After all, An Ke is a mage of the Chaos School, and her attainments in meditation and telekinesis are not low. At the same time, since touring the spirit world is very difficult, the improvement after a perfect clearance is also relatively large, resulting in her mental power being much stronger than that of a normal first-level mage.

The key point is pollution-free enhancement without any side effects.

however.

The change in mental strength was certainly gratifying, but Anke focused his attention elsewhere.

An unexpected situation appeared on the system panel.

Meditation +103

[Lunar Corona Meditation: 1165/5000/Beginner]

what?

Why did the proficiency of Lunar Corona Meditation increase?

This situation didn't happen when I devoured other souls before, so why is it that the one I'm eating now is a first-level mage?

Anke was stunned.

Recalling the time when I extracted talents from the spirit world, I got the settlement screen of [Devil's Gospel].

Souls, demons, the changing statue of the goddess, and the bright moonlight outside the window.

hiss.

She was wondering at the time whether this talent was related to the deity worshipped by the elven royal family, the Moon Goddess who was in charge of the soul realm, whom Hans had mentioned.

Although this Moon Corona Meditation Method was created by the system, it is obviously inextricably linked to the Moonlight Goddess.

Thinking about it this way, the changes seem quite reasonable.

An Ke pursed her lips.

all in all.

When [Demon's Gospel] acts on a first-level mage, his mental power is significantly improved, and it can also increase the proficiency of the Moon Corona Meditation.

Tsk.

Why is there only one evil wizard in Cedar Town?! Can't the Aleman family have ten or eight more?!

Miss Anke couldn't help but complain.

Forget it.

Clean up the battlefield.

Oh, it seems that’s not necessary, the floor cleaner is here.

……

Several mages from the town arrived one after another.

Because Luya was good at reconnaissance, she noticed the situation at the scene before she even got close.

There were piles of flesh and blood filled with negative energy, the remains of Lake with half his head missing, and Thornes lying breathless in the snow, his magic and negative energy rapidly dissipating.

Oh, the key point is that the cute girl was unharmed, she was waving excitedly and looked like she was in a very good mood.

Normally, Luya should be extremely shocked.

After all, he was just promoted yesterday, and today he killed the veteran wizard, the cunning "Grey Wolf". It is indeed enough to make people drop their jaws.

But here's the thing.

As early as four months ago, Luya was shocked when she saw the tragic death of the White Walker leader.

Now looking at the dead Thornes, although there was a momentary ripple in her heart, she was generally quite calm.

of course.

Luya still expressed her dissatisfaction, and relying on her tall stature, she rubbed Anke's hat and little head with her hands.

"Don't take risks on your own. You should learn how to cooperate and form a team. When you were looking for the White Walker leader, you knew to call me. Why did you learn to be a bad person today?"

Because we have become stronger.

[Devil's Gospel] To avoid being seen by others as much as possible, you naturally have to walk alone.

Furthermore, to be honest, even if the elder sister was present, she could only play the role of applauding, after all, Thornes knelt down in the blink of an eye.

only.

An Ke certainly wouldn't say these words. She just muttered, "Don't press my head. What if I don't grow taller in the future?"

Although Luya was relatively calm, the mages next to her were confused.

Especially tax officials.

He felt that An Ke was only causing more trouble by going to the Huangtu Gang, and after learning that an explosion had occurred there, his annoyance reached its peak.

He even made up his mind on the way that if the girl managed to survive, he would definitely scold her severely.

Of course, it would be even better if we could use this rescue as an opportunity to tie her to the Aleman family as much as possible.

however.

When the tax collector arrived at the headquarters of the Wasteland Gang and saw the tragic deaths of several leaders and some core members, as well as a group of dark green wasteland wolves lying in the sea of ​​fire, he was stunned.

Now that they have arrived at the snowy area, he, along with the school directors and the heads of the chamber of commerce, all took a deep breath and expressed their contribution to global warming.

After all, he is an old wizard with decades of experience.

His eyesight is actually not bad.

The horrifying bloodstains on the snow were from Thornes, whose magic power had not yet completely dissipated, but whose soul had already faded.

The highlight is the smiling Encore. Not to mention being injured, the girl doesn't even show any signs of weakness. Her magic power is abundant and her breathing is steady.

If she hadn't seen the scene around her, someone would have thought she had just gone shopping!

"Is this... a highly skilled mental shock power? It's almost as powerful as a soul shock!"

The director felt as if his soul had been shocked. "He's already at this level after just being promoted? First he shocked me, then used telekinesis and magic scrolls to kill Thornes?"

He could see the wounds on Thornes' body and noticed the magic scrolls in Anchor's suitcase.

I feel like I have figured out the entire battle process.

"Could it be Miss Anke's spiritual talent?"

The supervisor next to him reminded.

Some spiritual talents can significantly improve combat power.

The supervisor looked at Encore.

"...It's mainly thanks to the magic scroll."

Encore avoided talking about his talent and just shook the box in his hand with a smile.

The reason why she wanted to use the "Fire Magic·Power" scroll before, in addition to torturing Thornes, was to push out the fighting force.
