Chapter 277: The Bell
Witchcraft and magic are fundamentally related.
But the essence is very different.
And it takes special study and talent to be able to perform witchcraft through the "carrier".
Witch apprentices who live in swamps are not able to perform witchcraft at the beginning, and often require a long period of basic learning, and there is a possibility that witchcraft will be repulsed at any time during the learning period.
However, Demps, who is a student of the Outer Court, is able to cast a witchcraft - [Black Mud Shield] at will.
Even though Mia's face was calm, her heart was shocked.
If seen by others, Temples may be considered for a minor in a second career.
But...... Han Dong could roughly guess the mystery of this.
Nine times out of ten, it has something to do with Temple's "sixth finger".
Hearing that the witch was not there today, Han Dong called Demps for an 'unconventional' discussion.
In a way.
Han Dong, Mia and Demps...... Belong to one category of people.
"How?"
Listening to Demps's questioning, it seemed that he couldn't wait.
In the months since returning from the training camp, Demps has also made a lot of progress, and plans to take advantage of the current unmanned environment to have a good 'actual combat' exercise.
And when facing Han Dong, who 'knows the roots', Demps can use some skills that he can't see on weekdays.
"I'll do a 'melee sparring' with Mia first, and then I'll have a 'ranged sparring' with you."
"Oh...... Yes. ”
Temples built an earthen chair on the sidelines and watched the first game carefully.
…………
Mia also seemed a little impatient.
Since Han Dong had said this beforehand, as long as he was satisfied, he would spend the night with him tonight.
Mia doesn't do any bells and whistles at all, and she sacrifices her real strength from the beginning...... I want to end the exchange quickly and make more time for the two of them.
Phew!
With a purple-black curse wrapped around his body, four spider legs suddenly grew out of his back.
Temples, who was watching the game on the sidelines, was not surprised to see Mia's spider form.
After a closer look, Demps quietly reached out his sixth finger and rolled back a cursed silk thread, placing it on the tip of his tongue to savor it.
"Worm-possessed?"
…………
Mia's changes aren't over yet.
"Nicholas...... Do you know? The "bell" we got from the Cursed Farm last time revealed a secret after my interpretation of the inner curse.
The bell itself seems to have originated from a 'high-ranking demon', and is well-versed in curses!
The main reason why he placed the bell in the underground area of the farm was probably to secretly cultivate cursed individuals and gradually invade the Stuart estate and seize ownership.
It's a pity that the Knights took the lead. ”
"Oh!?"
Han Dong couldn't help but recall the situation that day.
While leaving the basement of the farm, Han Dong unexpectedly turned around and vaguely glimpsed a mysterious being, but then disappeared...... It should be the [High Demon] mentioned in Mia's mouth
"The quality of the bell itself is even better than I expected...... In the past few months, in addition to learning the basics, I have been trying to penetrate and control this bell.
Nicholas, do you need my ability to wield the bell? ”
"Why not? I've said that I'll only consider the issue of 'overnight' if I'm satisfied. ”
"Then you have to be careful......
The bell was taken out of Mia's waist and untangled in layers of spider silk.
Instead of rattling the bell, the four members of the "House of the Damned" are summoned to help...... Instead, the bell was hung from Mia's earlobes as 'earrings'.
Time.
Wisps of curse breath completely different from the spider's curse overflowed from between the bells.
covered Mia's body, and then condensed '18' iron nails, piercing Mia's flesh together.
"This is!? The Iron Nail Curse that once applied to the farmer. ”
Mia gritted her teeth to endure the pain and nodded slightly: "That's right...... The bell contains a variety of unique "Possession Curses", among which the Iron Nail Curse is the best.
It maximizes the body's potential, provides defense, and ......"
The voice did not fall.
I saw that Mia's mouth showed slight signs of movement.
Burst!
An iron nail wrapped around the curse popped out from the tip of his tongue and pointed straight at Han Dong.
This is also one of the abilities conferred by the bell.
Driven by the power of the curse, the nails can fly at incredible speeds...... Once pierced into the target, the curse will erode the target's entire body.
Sou!
An iron nail brushed his cheek.
Han Dong just tilted his head slightly, not panicking at all because of the 'sneak attack'.
Han Dong can see all the details clearly.
Mia covered her mask with a helpless expression, "Oops...... Forget about your nasty eye abilities! It's no use doing these little things...... Let's just face it.
In the past few days, I have practiced with Mia's little sister, and my combat skills have become a lot more proficient. ”
"Spider Field"
A dark purple spider web glow radiated at Mia's feet, about three meters in radius.
Small spiders will be constantly generated in the field, which can bite outsiders who set foot in the field, or restrain the target by quickly spinning silk.
When Mia was about to rush forward, she suddenly asked, "By the way...... There's a question for you! It's just just the two of us, right? Your 'buddy' won't suddenly appear, will you? ”
Mia is still very jealous of Miss Chen Li and Togu.
"No, I'm alone."
"So...... They're coming! Ask for a hug! ”
Mia's four spider legs move quickly, and thanks to the reinforcement of the Iron Spike Curse, she is faster than during the training camp.
Rush forward and jump.
The four spider legs that were constantly oozing venom from the tips were fully open, ready to give Han Dong a loving hug.
"Zerg Perception"
"Compound Eye Observation"
"Field Restrictions"
When Mia locked Han Dong, she took all the circumstances into account and never gave Han Dong any chance to escape.
Even if the plague broke out, the "insect shell" on Mia's body could reach for a while, which was enough to suppress Han Dong.
"Nicholas...... Today people are going to condemn you. Without the help of summons, your personal strength is just as high as the same level.
People haven't been idle for a moment in the past few months. ”
Staring at the motionless Han Dong, Mia thought that she had the chance to win.
But just when the two of them were close and their long legs were about to hug Han Dong.
The "little magic eye" on Han Dong's forehead suddenly opened.
Mia naturally thought about it, and immediately turned off the visual nervous system when she observed signs of squirming on Han Dong's forehead in advance, but ......
Airplanes!
When the vision system is turned off.
Mia still saw an eye in the darkness.
An eye with a strange pattern......
Rumble!
There was a loud bang.
Mia is grabbed by a 'twisted, transgender, and giant eye' right arm and pressed to the ground.
Any struggle will result in sharp claws poking into Mia's body, injecting a deadly plague.
The little spiders in the surrounding field seemed to be very afraid of Han Dong, and they didn't dare to climb on his body at all, so they hid one after another.
"Alright...... Demps Boy! It's your turn. ”
