On this night of the storm, the red light of the magic bag is particularly eye-catching.

"Come on, come with me and create an age of witchcraft and black magic."

Marianne Sesia stretched out her hand and threw an olive branch to Gu Yun with a smile.

"You want revenge on Green Winchester, you want to achieve your ambitions, I can understand that."

Under Marianne's surprised gaze, Gu Yun took out the magic bag that had been put into the inner pocket of his clothes at some point, and handed it back to the other party.

Burdened with eternal notoriety, he was killed by a villain who sold his fame, and the latter became a hero sung by everyone...... After witnessing Marianne's memories with his own eyes, Gu Yun was able to understand the other party's mood.

"But it's your war, not mine."

Everyone has their own story, and he has experienced countless dangers, and survived in the process of nine deaths to gain his current strength. The Witch of Dusk was not the most tragic legend Gu Yun had ever heard, he was born in the war years, he had long been accustomed to seeing life and death and hatred, and most of the people in the war had a sympathetic past.

However, whether or not you can succeed depends not on the sympathy of others, but on your own strength, which is Gu Yun's creed all along.

Marianne said a lot to him and gave him a glimpse of his past, but it only changed her from an "enemy" to a "sympathetic enemy."

"What you're going to do is not to win me over, but for me to step over you."

Looking at each other, the chaotic sound of rain seemed to disappear for a while.

What supported Gu Yun to leave the village at the beginning was just the simple idea of "becoming stronger", the so-called becoming stronger is to change himself after all, as for the grand wish of changing other people's lives or even helping the world, he has never considered it, but any ambition will attract resistance equivalent to it.

"Now that you've encountered the first obstacle on the path of ambition, if you can't even pass my level, go back and cultivate again."

“…… You're right. ”

Although Marianne had long been mentally prepared for the magic bag to be unable to control Gu Yun, she didn't expect Gu Yun to say that, the real enemy should pretend to be controlled by her and give her a fatal backstab at the right time - that's what Green Winchester did at the beginning.

"So ......"

Black flames engulfed the magic bag in her palm, and the glow in Marianne's eyes became brighter than ever.

Witches are not a group that is good at fighting people head-on, and as soon as the plan fails, she should evacuate City X and lie dormant again, as she did a hundred years ago, waiting for the next opportune moment to come.

However, the magic that has been dormant for many years involuntarily stirs.

"That's what you want."

The next moment, a column of water rose into the sky in the artificial lake, and under the staggered lightning, a giant beast formed by the condensation of the water column hovered over the park. At the same time, the ground under Gu Yun's feet began to crack and collapse, and the invisible magic dragged Marianne Sescia's body, causing her to float in mid-air.

Unlike the cursed spells in the Apprentice's Handbook, the Grimoire records countless forbidden spells.

Anthropomorphism, calling for wind and rain!

"That's right."

Shadows that obscure the sky, torrential downpours, and staggered lightning are the power to match the legends!

He landed on his right foot and leaped high before the last of the ground collapsed, straight up to the behemoth of the current.

"Bang ——!"

The loud sound of the impact was soon swallowed up by the roar of thunder and lightning, and the scattered bodies were like floods flooding the park, and at the same time, a thunderclap slashed the figures in the sky into the lake, and everything happened in an instant, but Marianne did not slack off, and with a pinch of her right hand, the water formed a cage.

On her left hand side are thousands of arrows made of dirt and sharp stones, and between the raised hands, thousands of arrows are fired in unison.

However, in the next second, the figure had already broken through the water prison, but there was no intention of retreating in the face of the rain of arrows, and in the blink of an eye, the figure had broken through the heavy arrow array and came to her.

"Sure enough, you're not human at all."

Marianne had a rare frenzied smile on her face, and centuries ago, people had removed her from the human category and called her a witch.

It wasn't until today, centuries later, that she finally met the "kind".

Every inch of Gu Yun's body was covered with mottled wounds, but through the torn skin, what Marianne saw was not bones and flesh, but a black substance that she had never seen before.

“……”

Gu Yun didn't respond, and in the blink of an eye, it had already turned into a black streamer.

Marianne raised her right hand, and in an instant a huge circle appeared on the ground, like an ancient clock, and the rotating second hand stopped at a certain node.

She had never been in such a situation.

Instead of facing a demon hunter who tries to weaken her magic in every way, sneak attacks and poison to the extreme, and resorts to group fighting tactics even when she is at her weakest, she is an opponent who still has the strength to fight in an equal state.

So—

The sound of a clock slumping broke through the air.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder, torrential rain, and water all stopped.

The whole world tends to stand still, and everything around it is silent.

"It's a spell I failed to complete centuries ago...... It's a pity that I haven't mastered the spell that can hurt you yet. ”

Marianne bent down, her lips almost touching Gu Yun's ear, "So this time, let's count it as a tie...... Someday, I'll retrieve the Grimoire. ”

She leaned forward slightly, and finally handed over the magic bag to Gu Yun, but this time the magic bag turned into a little fluorescent the moment it touched Gu Yun, as if it had been integrated into Gu Yun's body.

"Until then, let it be the link between us."

With a flick of her right index finger, Marianne's floating skull floated in front of her.

"Then the skull, I'll take it first."

………………

I don't know how long it took for time to flow again.

The lightning and thunder stopped, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and Gu Yun fell to the ground, and Marianne Sesia was gone, leaving only a mess.

Because of their battles, the park was unrecognizable, and it is conservatively estimated that the old man and the old lady will not be able to come here to dance the sword for at least a month.

Gu Yun heard what Marianne said to him before leaving, but he didn't agree with Marianne's opinion.

He was still far from using all his abilities, even if the other party stopped time for a while, Gu Yun was confident that if this battle continued, the victorious person would be him.

However, it is not impossible to count it as a tie.

After all, it was the first time that Gu Yun had seen a spell that was enough to stop time, and even when he was fighting with the black-robed great wizard of the Protoss, the other party had never used a similar spell.

He moved his muscles and bones, and the dense wounds on his body were healing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and after a fierce battle, Gu Yun only felt refreshed.

Witches, witches, and witches.

It seems that the world is far more exciting than he imagined.
