Chapter 0284: The Unpredictable Witch
"Drop, an unknown force field intrusion was detected...... The subject's mental perception is rapidly weakening. ”
"Drop, sensing the approach of high-energy magical creatures, the breath is dangerous...... Please move away from the subject quickly. ”
"Dripping, perceiving external spiritual coercion, causing an intimidating effect on the subject...... Could the subject please indicate whether to fight back?"
"Drop, discover ......"
“……”
The old witch's death threats echoed in his ears, and the chips in Grim's mind kept ringing, and one danger alarm after another almost drove him crazy.
However, the more critical the moment, the more Grim's mental power was concentrated and sharp.
Grim was surprised to find that through the elemental vision fed back by the hostile perception, the entire mushroom hut was red, and all the red dots representing the enemy were almost connected, but only the old witch's low and rickety figure projected on his retina turned out to be ...... It turned out to be a big yellow dot!
Red represents hostility, and darker the color, the stronger the hostility. Green represents friendliness, while yellow represents neutrality, indicating that the target has no preconceptions about themselves.
How is this possible!
How could the old witch be so determined to persecute herself, and look like she was going to die in the next moment, how could she remain neutral?
Just when Grim was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do, the yellow dot representing the old witch turned from yellow to red, showing signs of turning red.
It seems that Grim's hesitation angered her, and the old witch gradually showed hostility!
No, no, this old witch's purpose doesn't seem to be pure. When she found out that Alice had signed a servile contract with her, she didn't seem to have much murderous intent and remained neutral. And when she was persecuted, she hesitated slightly, but she became murderous......
Grim's mind raced, and some of the traditions and secrets of the Desperate Witch faction were rushing through his mind.
Grim tentatively shouted, "If I give up this contract, will the adults let me go?"
Although the old witch has strange abilities and can force the witchcraft contract to manifest, she cannot change the content of the contract in the slightest.
After all, the sorcery contract is a basic rule protected by the laws of the plane, and it is possible to annul a contract that has already been in force unless the two parties to the contract willingly renounce the contract. Otherwise, even a great wizard would not be able to break or change the content of the contract beyond the laws of the plane.
And Grim had just revealed his intention to renounce the contract, and in his hostile perception, the old witch had completely turned into a big celebrity.
"Very good, very good!" the old witch's sharp voice softened suddenly, "You can give up this contract now." As long as this contract disappears and I stay, you can leave with the Lost Soul Water!"
If there is no hostile perception that the chip has scrutinized, perhaps Grim has really been deceived by the other party's superficial illusion at this moment. Although the old witch said well, and even squeezed out an ugly smile on her face, Grim felt a chill in his heart, and instantly understood the other party's true position.
Now that he understood the other party's intentions, Grim immediately made a move without hesitation.
"Uelr Ar!" With a loud shout, Grim grabbed the void in his left hand, and the voodoo scroll had appeared in his hand silently. The thick book of witchcraft snapped open, and the tough vellum began to flip rapidly, and soon settled on a page.
The red glow burst out on the sorcery book, and the runes, marks, lines, and images on the pages began to light up little by little, and quickly outlined a phantom of a tumbling fireball over the page. As the sky was rapidly filled with red rays, the fireball phantom turned from virtual to solid, and soon turned into a terrifying fireball with a diameter of one meter.
And with the guidance of Grim's spiritual power, the bursting fireball immediately locked onto the sneering old witch, and bombarded it with a snort.
The distance between the two sides was less than 5 meters, and the speed of the fireball was extremely fast, and it flew in front of the ugly witch almost as soon as it was activated.
At the same time, with a wave of his right hand, Grim pushed Alice towards the door of the mushroom hut, and whispered covertly and quickly, "You go first, and I'll arrive later." Hurry up ......"
Alice, on the other hand, was obviously confused by the scene in front of her, and turned around in a daze and ran out the door.
This series of actions seems to be extremely complicated, but in fact, it only falls in the eyes of everyone in the field, and it is only a short moment of two or three fingers.
Wizards have always been known for their mental power, and their mental activity and speed far exceed that of ordinary people. Coupled with the nuanced spiritual perception, they have already converted seven or eight thoughts and put them into practice one by one.
Grim watched the old witch's reaction with all his might through chip perception.
There was a strong force field disturbance outside the other party's body, making it impossible for the chip to spy on the slightest intelligence in her body. However, when the other party's spiritual mind comprehensively oppresses Grim's spiritual perception, the chip can quickly analyze the other party's basic intention through every subtle change in the spirit and elements in the surrounding environment.
This ability to scrutinize in detail may not be very useful in a full-fledged battle.
With the terrifying ability of the opponent's second-order witch, I'm afraid that any second-order witchcraft is not something that Grim can withstand. Even if he analyzed the other party's intentions in advance, what if he couldn't block the attack that should be blocked, and the attack that he wanted to dodge still couldn't dodge.
The gap in strength is there!
Combat skills and experience are only available to opponents of the same level. As for the cross-level battle, it is purely a suicide act that seeks its own death and brings about its own destruction!
Therefore, Grim used the chip to monitor and observe the changes in the old witch's hostility with all his might, not to fight the other party at all, but to verify whether his conjecture was correct!
Sure enough, when Grim "heroically" attacked him, the hostility on the old witch Liana inexplicably subsided a lot. And when Grim struggles to "protect" Alice away, the old witch's hostility completely subsides, and even the position is shifted from the previous neutrality to the friendliness of light green.
Bingo, bet right!
Grim perked up and immediately turned around and ran without hesitation.
The stage has been set up, and now it's up to the old witch to see how it ends!
Moments later, Grim and Alice were tied back by the terrifying black python.
To Grim's surprise, that terrifying black python turned out to be a second-order monster, and it was also the pet of the old witch Liana. Therefore, when its long tail flicked, the black and scaly snake tail stretched out more than ten meters long, and easily wrapped Grim and Alice, who had lost their ability to cast spells, back.
And the bursting fireball that Grim inspired with the voodoo scroll was inhaled into the abdomen by the black python's mouth, and then the fireball exploded, and a faint black smoke erupted from the black python's nostrils.
Devouring and digesting a burst fireball, and the black python was unscathed, which couldn't help but make Grim tremble. The strong self-confidence that had been built up after the battle against the 2nd Order Radiant Knight in the Alien Plane was instantly shattered, and it was hard to clean up.
Damn, how can the 2nd order of the Alien Plane be so different from the 2nd order of the wizarding world!
"You're very good!" the old witch had a rare look on her face, ...... a terrible smile appeared: "For the sake of this little girl, you dare to take the initiative to attack a second-order wizard." No wonder this little girl is so willing to be your slave......!
Both Grim and Alice had confused expressions on their faces, as if confused by the scene in front of them.
It's just that one is pretending, and the other is really confused!
Seeing that the eyes of the two people, one big and one small, looked at her in confusion, the old witch Liana jumped off the high wooden bench with difficulty and turned to the wooden table. She held the long staff in one hand and the corner of the black robe dragged on the ground in the other, squinted her eyes and looked at the two of them again before nodding with satisfaction.
"I know your hearts are full of doubts. But the old woman doesn't have that much time to explain anything to you. Hey, boy, your little maid needs to stay with me for ten days. In ten days, you can come and take her away! Before I can do that, I first need to teach her how to be a real witch......! It's okay to leave. ”
With the scepter in Witch Liana's hand, Grim only felt the light and shadow flicker in front of him.
In the next second, he was already alone at the entrance of the dark swamp.
And a black clay pot is being held in his arms!
Grim looked up and looked at the dark swamp where the fog was getting wetter and heavier, and it was difficult to discern the scenery inside, and his eyes reflected complex emotions.
After a few moments, he finally shook his head and left.
…………
Seven days later.
Gulit Arena.
As a dedicated Upanishads arena, Guliyat is famous throughout the Outer Ring area. Many Upanishads have encountered disputes and like to come here to resolve conflicts with each other in a competitive way.
Today, the Byron family from the scattered Tallinndagon region and the Gretto family from the northern part of the Silver Alliance will battle each other's residency through a puppet battle.
If the Gretto family wins, it means that the Byron family will lose their last foothold in Sky City, and will never be able to participate in the internal resource purchase rights of the Silver Alliance again. If the Byron family wins, the Greto family will have to lose a large amount of resources as the challenger.
It is said that the amount of resources is huge, enough to empty the treasure trove of resources of a small family!
As a result, this puppet battle has also attracted the attention of many shop owners and resident wizards.
They either want to see for themselves how the Byron family has fallen, or they simply want to collect some basic data about the battle puppets. Before the battle even began, the seats for the spectators in the arena were sold out, and tickets became hard to find.
