Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

"You have to face not only me, but also the 50 million people of the Rhine Federation."

Socrates drew on the magic power of 50 million people in the Rhine Federation to maintain the barrier, and also to provide magic power to Socrates. 50 million people is the number of people in the Rhine Federation who can use magic, most of whom can only use low-sequence magic of Sequence 9, but the huge number is enough to maintain the barrier.

It is like deducting only one cent from each person's account. The total amount of money obtained is enough to live a comfortable life. If it is distributed among each person, the consumption of magic power will not affect themselves, and the total amount withdrawn is also considerable.

Magic secret societies usually act in secret, but Socrates chose to become the public chief magician of the Rhine Federation. The core reason is that this inherent magic needs to be deployed within the Rhine Federation. If he sets up anchor points as an unknown magician, they will inevitably be destroyed by other magicians. However, in the name of the chief magician of the court, no one dares to destroy the anchor points set up by Socrates.

【Witch TIPS】

Socrates was the most public of the extraordinary men, and much of his public activity was related to relief.

It seems that for this reason, very few people actively pursue him, just like no one wants to fall in love with the savior or the son of God. But this doesn't matter to Socrates. On the road of pursuing the truth he firmly believes in, he will never feel lonely.

382 Demon Acharya Raptor

With the help of the Rhine Federation's correction, Socrates' magic power expanded to an unprecedented height. A magician who received such a huge amount of magic power would probably have his body shattered and could only squander it in the form of a spirit. But Socrates was an extraordinary person, and his body was strong enough to withstand it.

Angelica remembered that Socrates' immortality and immortality were due to the distortion and confusion of time. In a day, his body would only age for one minute, and the injuries he suffered would be cut off.

To be precise, they accumulated together until the end of Socrates' life. Every time Socrates suffered a fatal injury, he would be intact. The injuries he suffered would accumulate to the end. For example, if this person experienced a knife wound, a car accident, a crushing injury, etc. in his life, he would be intact every time until his natural death, when the knife wound, car accident, and crushing injuries would occur together.

Having said that, he was a dying person anyway. No matter how serious the injuries were, it would only be a life. It's no different from unlimited loan sharking.

"Is this your trump card? Purple."

"Hmph... I don't mind the burden on my body, but it's not enough to be safe. Come out——"

As Socrates called out, a dark ghost appeared behind Socrates.

"Demon Acharya Raptor?"

Angelica was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, the demon that Sister Alice was looking for was released by Socrates.

"It is the demon Acharya Raptor. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I am placing my hopes on the demon. Acharya Raptor has the power to distort the established existence. If it can be used properly, it will be a help to me."

“You should have known how dangerous it was… but since you are also a Beyonder, the magician’s logic does not apply to you. You completely tamed it and it became your familiar.”

Acharia Raptor has a twisted way of fulfilling wishes, just like the Black Holy Grail. Ordinary people have unrealistic expectations of it, magicians avoid it, and only extraordinary people can turn the devil into their own use.

Although she was not quite sure how Socrates did it, Angelica did not delve too deeply into it. She knew that Socrates had this ability.

Socrates is a Beyonder, the magic power supplier of 50 million people in the Rhine Federation, and the devil Acharia Raptor. The above is Socrates's foolproof plan.

"So without further ado, let's..."

An incredible voice suddenly sounded behind Angelica.

"Please please please please wait a moment—"

"Eh?"

A blue figure stumbled into the stalemate between Angelica and Socrates. Her hair was disheveled and she looked like she was about to die at any moment after not exercising for a long time and suddenly went out to run a marathon.

To be precise, she is indeed a type that has not been used for a long time: the "Blue" witch Trasil.

"Trasir? Why are you here?"

“Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…Hoo…”

"This is the first time I've seen a magician so exhausted from using levitation."

Now it was Angelica's turn to be speechless. The altitude they were at was not high enough to make the oxygen thin. This could only be understood as the aftereffect of Trahil not using magic for a long time.

"It's the Green Witch? I expected you to have reinforcements, but I thought it would be the White Witch who swore to me your sovereignty."

It was Angelica's personal habit to greet every Beyonder, so Socrates had not met every senior. However, he had met the "White" Witch Socrates once, not long after he first met Angelica.

Socrates was shocked when he saw a girl who looked exactly like Angelica. Coppelia had no interest in Socrates and only came to tell Socrates about Angelica's ownership.

"Honestly, I'm also surprised that Traciel would give up staying home... Wait, Coppelia is talking nonsense again. She and I... Well, maybe now we are... No, if we have to count, Coppelia should be mine!"

"..."

The relationships between women are so complicated.

Socrates sighed sincerely, fortunately I am single.

Trahil finally came to his senses and regained his normal speech ability.

"I...I'm here to support..."

"So why did you come here?"

"Eh...? Didn't you ask me to come...?"

"It's true that I was right...but I didn't expect you to really come."

Could it be that Anna has special verbal communication skills? And by the way, why didn't Anna come with me?

Angelica was puzzled. Her original intention was to let Anna find a safe place. It was completely unexpected for Angelica to abandon her home and come to help. Although Angelica felt that she was very popular, she didn't think she had such a good relationship with Tracier.

And it is true that Trahil is indeed an extraordinary person, but her situation is somewhat special.

"It may be rude to ask this, but Trahill, can you fight?"

"No, no problem! ...Probably!"

Trahil's panicked eyes had already betrayed her.

Even among the ranks of geniuses, Trahil is considered an exception. Practice makes perfect is the dumbest and most commonly used technique in magic. Although there is no necessary condition to reach a certain level of proficiency to be promoted, it has long been unwritten common sense among magicians to use magic more often when encountering bottlenecks.

The higher the sequence of magic, the more it requires competition with magicians. However, Trahil has hardly ever competed with other magicians. She does not like to communicate with others and devotes herself to the study of magic. She has rarely fought with magicians. Her ability to become an extraordinary person has nothing to do with practice makes perfect, but is purely due to the full utilization of her own talents.

A giant in theory may not be able to apply it in practice. There are often people who know a lot in theory but are dumbfounded when it comes to practice. In Angelica's opinion, Trahill is one of the best.

To give a simple example, when Trahil was chanting, he would even bite his tongue due to excessive nervousness.

The problem is not that Trahil bites her tongue. It is really surprising that she, as a Beyonder, cannot chant at high speed.

"Well... let me take the lead."

Angelica probably had an idea in mind. At least she was very grateful that Traciel was willing to help, but in all aspects it was better not to pin her hopes on Traciel.

"Let us fight it out, Socrates."

Angelica regained her composure, while Socrates gave a meaningful smile.

"Unfortunately, our fight ended right from the start."

383 The Witch Without Magic Power

What is clear is that Socrates is a powerful magician with few rivals in the world, so he is sure that there are only a handful of people who can hinder him.

Even the powerful dragons were powerless to stop Socrates, he had this level of confidence.

However, in the field that Socrates is most proud of: magic, there are people in the world who are better than him. They are the predecessors who became extraordinary people before Socrates. Even if both sides are supermen who have reached the realm of immortality, if they are to fight to the death, Socrates believes that defeat is only a matter of time.

After all, they are more proficient in magic than Socrates, and it is unwise to challenge the witch's magic, just like no one would compete with a football player in kicking, or with a shooter in shooting.

"Reverse the laws of this world, Acharya Raptor."

The dark shadow behind Socrates was in a trance. He was squandering his magic power wantonly, but at the same time, all of his magic power was absorbed by the demon Acharia Raptor.

A ball of red light condensed in the black shadow, like the fragment of a giant creature lurking in the abyss. It emitted a certain kind of matter that Angelica had never seen before, which quickly filled every corner of Angelica's sight and then disappeared, as if it had never existed from the beginning.

"..."

No injuries, no discomfort.

Angelica suddenly fell uncontrollably, and Trahil hurriedly caught Angelica.

"Wow! Good, good..."

"Although I appreciate it, I hope you won't accuse me of being overweight. Please, I'm not overweight at all. I've been controlling my weight and I can't gain weight."

“Wow… This is so troublesome…”

Trahil wanted to cry but had no tears. In fact, Angelica was indeed not heavy, but Trahil's arms, which had never been trained, did not have much muscle at all. It would be more accurate to say that they were just excess fat caused by lack of exercise.

"Symbiosis, neutralization, and contradiction. Black Witch, you know the three principles that magic in this world follows."

"Yeah. Now I can't use magic... To be precise, you completely neutralized the magic power, right?"

Angelica understood a little bit why Socrates said that the battle was over from the beginning.

The best strategy is not to fight. No matter how powerful the Beyonder is, magic is the foundation. In common sense, all magic has three phenomena: symbiosis, neutralization, and contradiction, but that is only for magic itself.

"You infused magic into Acharia Rept, causing it to repel magic, and thus created a substance out of nothing that could neutralize magic itself... Not only the magic that existed in itself, but also the magic in my body was completely wiped out in an instant. You didn't intend to fight from the beginning, Socrates."

"I think this is the only way to win. Your victory condition is to defeat me and then stop the emperor, and I just need to delay time until the emperor completes the promotion. As long as we understand each other's demands, direct battle is no longer the only option."

Or in other words, Socrates' trump card is his fighting and magic weapon for victory. No matter who comes to stop him, he needs to use magic. If he erases the concept of magic, he will be invincible.

Magic power is the basis of a magician's fighting power, but now magic power no longer exists.

What is the difference between a witch who has lost her magic power and an ordinary girl?

"I know you can reset it by committing suicide. Your immortality has nothing to do with the presence or absence of magic power. You can be resurrected even when your magic power is exhausted. But it's useless. As long as Acharia Raptor exists, you can't get magic power from anywhere."

"But Traciel doesn't seem to be affected?"

"Eh? Me, me, me?"

Traciel was startled, but it was true. Angelica fell because her magic power disappeared and she could not maintain the levitation spell. Traciel was unlikely to be immune to it. Socrates simply did not target Traciel.

"The conflict between Qing and I is not irreconcilable. Do you have any reason to risk your life with me?"

"No...no..."

"What on earth are you doing here..."

"I'm here to help... Wait, wait a minute, are you going to ask me to fight next?!"

Trahildren started to speak incoherently. Her original plan was just to help Angelica and give her some buffs. If she had to fight by herself, her legs would go weak even when fighting a goblin alone.

Probably because he thought that Tracyel had no fighting ability, Socrates did not use the demon Acharia Raptor to interfere with Tracyel. He simply wiped out the magic of Angelica and the current area. Acharia Raptor neutralized the magic itself, forming an area where the concept of magic did not exist, just like the world before Angelica crossed over.

However, Socrates was also watching Traciel. If Angelica wanted to make a comeback, Traciel might be the only hope. However, Socrates was always suspicious about the appearance of Traciel. He did not think that the relationship between Traciel and Angelica was good enough that they would work for each other. Without establishing completely opposing positions, Socrates chose to be conservative.

Once Tracyel's position is established, Acharya Raptor can easily deprive Tracyel of his magic.

"No need to do that. Let me confirm again. Can you still use magic? Can you also use the separation sequence one peeling world?"

"Is it possible? ... Do you want to use this trick?"

Socrates was full of doubts. What were they doing? Was Angelica going to use words to command Traciel to fight? That was a bit too abstract.

"Use your full strength to use the magic of stripping the world to keep it from collapsing. Thanks to you, many lives would have been in vain."

"I don't quite understand...Separation Sequence 1: Peeling off the World."

Trahil released magic to layer the world they lived in, but of course Angelica still hadn't recovered her magic power.

After confirming that there was no need to worry, Angelica raised her right hand.

Is this... calling a waiter...? No, how could it be such a ridiculous reason? It was more like calling someone far away to come to her side.

But obviously the target would not be Socrates, and Socrates would not easily approach Angelica, even though she was theoretically just an ordinary girl now.

Socrates raised his head and looked towards the higher sky.

For a moment he wondered if he was seeing a hallucination.

The sun is setting.

In his direction.

384 The Emperor and the Doll

Inside Chartrand Island.

Promotion is a top priority for many magicians, especially promotion to the higher levels. In order to grab the few spots available, many magicians would rush into things. But is this really the case? In Heinrich's opinion, it was all just a waste of time.

The advancement of magic comes from the purest desire. Only by discarding the unnecessary impurities in your heart can you step onto a higher level.

From this perspective, what is the difference between achieving promotion in combat and achieving promotion with full preparation?
