Petelgeuse's speech was very abnormal, but he also managed to get some things out of the other party, such as that "Warcraft" was probably created by that lustful person, and that they knew from somewhere that there was a Book of Wisdom here.

Did Diego say that?

His luck was very bad. He had to wait until the door of Roswaal's mansion for the next scheduled arrival. Natsuki Subaru didn't dare to think too much about how Rem, Ram and Meli were doing now, or whether Emilia and the others had really met with an accident.

The time was too short. It was impossible for him to find reinforcements willing to help in the royal capital in just a few hours.

Unlike Lust, Sloth is clearly aware of Lust, and this will be his last chance to stop things from getting worse.

"Hey, Sloth."

Natsuki Subaru held an oil lamp and stared intently at the madman in front of him.

Even without the dragon car, this guy can use his invisible hands to hold himself and float in the air. In the eyes of passers-by who can't see these things, he looks absolutely disgusting.

Perhaps because his emotions were too obvious, Petelgeuse began to look at him differently than before.

Is this the only way to go straight in? Sorry, you killed me twice, it's not too much to let me kill you once!

"Jos."

When Natsuki Subaru was about to rush over, Beatrice, who jumped off the monster aunt's back following Imi's footsteps, noticed this side.

She walked out of the courtyard, her eyes fixed on Petelgeuse: "Is it Jus?"

Chapter 40: Now is the time.

"Bituizi, do you know each other?"

Natsuki Subaru was a little stunned and even forgot to draw his sword.

Beatrice will be here, so Emilia should be fine, right? With Yimi here, Emilia will certainly not be in any danger.

Natsuki Subaru looked at Petelgeuse in confusion.

Petelgeuse, whose head is shaped like a mushroom but whose face looks like a comic strip, and Beatrice, who looks like a cute little loli from any angle, are two people who don't seem to come from the same style of painting.

"Huh? Who's that? What did you say?"

Petelgeuse put his hand to his ear, as if he hadn't heard clearly.

Beatrice's eyes darkened and she bit her lower lip lightly: "Really? You are no longer Qiu Si..."

Qiu Si was originally an earth-attributed elf. Four hundred years ago, Beatrice's mother, the Witch of Greed, asked him to be Beatrice's etiquette teacher.

He was a member of the Witch's Cult a hundred years ago. Although there were many radicals in the Witch's Cult at that time, they were not as crazy as they are now. Qiu Si has always been a sunny, handsome and hardworking person. Many members are proud to be his subordinates.

He even had a rather ambiguous relationship with Emilia's adoptive mother. When she was young, Emilia always hoped that he and Mother Fortuna could eventually be together.

When Emilia was young, Pandora, the Witch of Falsehood, who was different from the Witch of Sin, attacked there with Regulus, hoping that Emilia, who had a special ability, would open a certain door.

As her adoptive mother, Fortuna and Joss tried their best to protect her. Joss even forcibly merged the Sloth Witch Factor, which had almost no compatibility with Regulus, into her in order to stop him.

Eventually, the situation got out of control and Pandora took advantage of him to accidentally kill his beloved Fortuna. He suffered an emotional breakdown and was brainwashed by Pandora, becoming what he is today.

Beatrice was not quite sure of the details. Four hundred years was too long. Her familiar mother, Roswaal, and the child had all left her one after another, and now even Jules had become this horrible appearance.

"Elves? Yes, elves! Elves are good, elves are very hardworking, very diligent!"

Petelgeuse bit his fingers with an almost self-harming intensity, his head and waist tilting to the side.

"That's awful, Joss."

Beatrice lowered her head uncomfortably.

This kind of reunion was even more painful than directly learning of the other person's death. As an old friend, she had the responsibility to relieve the other person from pain at this time -

"Urminia!"

The purple halo surrounding Petelgeuse foreshadowed a devastating blow that would consume a significant amount of mana, but at this juncture, she heard Natsuki Subaru's cry:

"Danger Beatrice!"

The moment she made her move, invisible hands had already surrounded her from all directions. Even though Petelgeuse was extremely crazy, he was still extremely sensitive to the emotions of others.

Even though they were only a few feet away, Natsuki Subaru couldn't push Beatrice away before anything happened. However, Petelus, who had been on guard against him because of his abnormality, was distracted and turned around in a hurry to grab Natsuki Subaru's arm and twisted it off.

So unlucky?

Natsuki Subaru was in great pain and looked at the sprain on his arm in confusion. Just at this moment, his fixation was broken.

But what really made him confused was that the broken bones at the joints actually moved along his arms, all the way to his ribs, and then down to his thighs. Before he even had time to wail at the pain all over his body, the broken bones moved along the ground to the trees beside him, and were still moving towards the distance.

It wasn't just him. Beatrice and Petelgeuse, who had just been attacking each other, were also like this. It was like they were in a rift in a different space, making ineffective attacks on each other.

The source of this incident occurred inside Roswaal's mansion. In order to perform a long-range Noble Phantasm, Imi directly threw the Spear of Longinus, causing the divine power of liberation to overflow from under her feet.

Capella, transformed into a black dragon, fell in the backyard. To a giant dragon, a regular-sized spear was like a toothpick, but Capella was now enduring intense pain.

The spear that pierced her chest directly cut off her dragon blood, making it impossible for her to use her power to change her body. Some energy that she could not understand even invaded her witch factor.

“You piece of meat, are you kidding me? Do you want Lady Capella to die like this?!”

She cursed angrily and opened her dragon mouth to bite off the small but deadly Spear of Longinus, but found that although it was only a tiny wound, it made her body feel like she was nailed to a cross and unable to move.

The most crucial thing was that the spear that was originally in her chest actually moved directly to her neck, leaving that wound. Even if she had the ability to move at this moment, it would be impossible for her to touch that position with the dragon's body structure.

The ability of the Love Train to attract happiness and repel misfortune may move minor injuries that are easily overlooked towards fatal points.

To die to die.

Capella’s throat made a crackling sound as she stared at Yimi, who was in the center of the divinity. She also saw that the culprit who had caused everything to her didn’t even look at her at this last moment.

Just like she said before, 'People who are too ugly don't deserve to be loved. Just looking at them will make you feel physically uncomfortable.'

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In the last moments of her life, she laughed meaninglessly, madly and miserably.

The rain was automatically separated, leaving only the breeze gently blowing the little girl's clothes. The eyes, stripped of emotions by the divinity, seemed to be only concerned with judging the weight of the scales, not intentionally ignoring what they were facing.

At a distance from her, a petite girl, like one covered with a tablecloth, kept a smile on her lips, but her eyelids were also drooping like half-open curtains. This was Pandora, the witch of deception behind the scenes of the Witch Church.

She looked at Yimi for a few seconds without much emotion, and finally chose to leave when she heard the sound of the scale clicking.

"What happened?"

Emilia, who had protected the frog with an ice shield, ran out and saw that the fence of the courtyard had been close to the greenery at some point, and there was no difference between soft and hard parts in the interlocking.

"I don't know, but this is definitely a force that is enough to destroy the world."

Parker raised his front paw towards Yimi seriously, "Niece, if you can answer, please squeak."

Yimi ignored him, grabbed the spear that had been transferred to the dragon's head, stepped on the dragon's head with one foot, and pulled it out with force.

In the short term, it can be somewhat controlled.

The gathered 'happiness' gradually dissipated, causing the Archbishop of Sloth, who had been enveloped by it, to kneel on the ground, staring blankly at his pale and trembling hands.

"What am I...doing?"

Then, Natsuki Subaru finally came to his senses and swooped down from behind Qiu Si at lightning speed, strangling his throat with a perfect chokehold.

"Beicuizi, now is the time!"

41

Chapter 41 I'm sorry.

"Looks like he's back to normal. I was really shocked. I thought he was going to go berserk and attack us."

Capella's power can completely change people. If it is a species with a very low IQ, it will be difficult for it to maintain its self-identity over time.

It was possible to turn a person into multiple creatures, all sharing one consciousness. It was hard to imagine whether Capela herself could survive in this way, but now it didn't matter.

"Don't run, frog."

Yimi used her little claws to catch the jumping frogs, without any fear that a little girl should have towards such creatures, and simply held all the frogs in her arms.

Although they have one consciousness, Mary cannot control the frogs to stop jumping around. If one frog runs away, it cannot be changed back. This incident casts the biggest shadow in Mary's limited life.

Originally, Yimi was a pretty little princess, but with a bunch of not-so-small frogs in her hands, she instantly looked like a naughty child who went to the fields with boys to make a fuss.

"This is the one, the Frog Prince."

"Frog prince?"

Natsuki Subaru explained to her: "There is a story from my hometown. The cursed prince turned into a frog, and in the end he needed the princess's kiss to turn back to his original form..."

As he was speaking, he noticed Beatrice looking at him with disdain, and she slowly moved her feet to block his view of Yimi.

"Don't look at me with such contempt. The Frog Prince is just a children's book. It means 'ugly appearance cannot hide the beauty of the soul, and there will still be people who love you'. That's it, maybe..."

"perhaps?"

The Archbishops of Sin's work style is somewhat related to their corresponding Witch Factors. Capella, who symbolizes lust (river crab), insists that so-called love is based entirely on appearance.

Just as no one would fall in love with a kind-hearted fly, even if they were on good terms, they would still harbor obscene thoughts when they saw a beautiful person of the opposite sex. It was a pity that she would never meet a silly girl from another world who sounded like her, otherwise she could have used a living example to refute her notions.

Countless frogs puffed up their cheeks and stared at the little girl who was willing to hug them with their terrifying eyes that seemed to be only a square, until the light of the train of love poured down on their heads.

The physical misfortune was transferred to Duotu, one of the three magical beasts, and the intact Meili reappeared in Yimi's arms.

"Changed back..."

Mary looked down at her palms, her legs slowly went limp, and she slowly sat down on the ground.

She looked at the black dragon lying in the backyard with lifeless eyes, and forced a smile on her face as if she didn't care about anything, just like usual, like Elsa.

"That's disgusting! Turning someone into a frog is too much to do to a girl."

Mary was still imitating Elsa's tone of voice as she spoke about surviving the disaster, but the tremor in her voice made her imitation not very good. After all, those who are just imitators can never become the original.

Originally she thought she could never change back, because this was the result of disobeying her "mother", becoming an ugly frog jumping around, until one of the frogs disappeared and she could only become a real frog.

Is 'Mother' dead? I don't have to be afraid anymore, right?

"Touch."

Yimi reached out and patted the head of the older child in front of her, gently stroking her hair from front to back.

In the past, when she was chased by a dog, her grandmother used this cat-stroking method to comfort her. At that time, her grandmother would first take a stick to help her drive away the bad dog.

"..."

Now she was comforted by the man who had killed Elsa. During all the playful times she'd had, the little thing probably hadn't realized she wanted to strangle her.

Meili's face was pressed against Yimi's belly, and the unique fragrance of the kitten wafted over her. She raised her hands from behind Yimi and then put them down naturally, without really accepting the kitten's comforting hug.

Of all the Archbishops of Sin, Capella was definitely the worst. She pretended to be Meili only to see Emilia and the others chase away the real Meili who had transformed into a frog for her own sake, or even do something even more extreme.

But the silver lining in this misfortune is that in order to wield her power to torture others, she did not commit any acts of burning or killing, so everything should be salvageable like what happened to the village before.

Beatrice looked at Yimi from afar, and she became more and more confused about the child's origins.

"Jos."

She set her sights on the man who had been strangled unconscious by Natsuki Subaru.

Under the illumination of divinity, although he did not regain his former sunny and handsome appearance, at least he was no longer hysterical and his face was no longer enough to scare ghosts in the middle of the night.

Beatrice squatted down and held the other person's hand sadly: "How long do you want to remain unconscious like this? You remember everything, right?"

This is not like you.

How could it be possible that Natsuki Subaru had knocked the spirit Qiusler unconscious with his exquisite throat-locking technique? He must have been thinking of something bad and was shutting himself off from waking up.

The Archbishop of Sloth, lying on the ground, opened his eyes and did not try to shield his face from the rain. This might have calmed him down a lot.

"It was a very long nightmare."

His consciousness seemed to be still stuck on the day when he forcibly integrated the sloth factor and accidentally killed Fortuna. He just wanted to give up thinking and not think too deeply about anything.

Being killed by the messenger of justice as a mad bishop is actually a better ending for him.

"Every nightmare ends in awakening."

Beatrice comforted.

"Who is this?"

It was not until Emilia, with a puzzled look on her face, came into his sight and used an umbrella made of ice magic to help him and the rain clouds that Jules' eyes regained some color.
