A loud rumbling sound echoed throughout the empty square.

The wide house collapsed in an instant, the stone pillars that supported the beams were broken, the rubble flew in the sky, and the rising smoke and dust were like a hazy curtain that obscured the scene in front of them.

But all this did not stop with the collapse of the dome, the explosions that "surged" from the ground, like fountains, bloomed everywhere, and the continuous impact shook the foundation like a giant hand, and the bluestone pavement continued to collapse downward, revealing the dark hole underneath.

The demons that were originally hiding in the corner didn't even have a chance to struggle, and fell into it like dumplings in a pot, as if they were swallowed by the huge mouth of the abyss that opened open.

"Damn ......!"

The moment the mutation happened, Duncan David had already reacted, he was shocked and angry, and at the same time, there was a trace of fear rising from the bottom of his heart-

The fear of Willett Edward, who thought he had lost his ability to resist and was like meat on a chopping block.

The moment the rock above his head fell, he was greeted by a girl who had fallen to the ground.

Although the witch's figure was about to be swallowed by darkness, a smile appeared on her face.

It was a fearless smile like a flower blooming on a cliff.

Recalling that shocking scene, Duncan Davy understood: not only now, but he had always feared this witch who had always looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

The flip side of contempt is jealousy, just as people who are timid by nature tend to unconsciously show arrogance in front of others.

Duncan should have realized this: he was afraid of the perseverance and faith of the other party, and he was able to get this far despite his lack of talent as a wizard - without the acquiescence of his teacher, it was very likely that Willett would have been eliminated in the cruel competition, which is indeed true; However, if the person standing in that position was not her, if it was anyone else, even herself, I am afraid that she would have been abandoned long ago.

How could I forget...... Duncan couldn't help but start to regret it. Welllit is a woman who can risk her life to win a duel!

Willett was different from other wizards, but her past self only saw her shortcomings, but ignored the terrible things that this personality can bring.

In Duncan David's view, it is obvious that the other party has given up on himself and fallen into madness after losing all hope, and will do anything to get revenge on him. Even if you sacrifice your life, you will drag yourself to hell.

It was impossible for the seriously injured party to avoid this, but she deliberately chose this place as a hiding place, and planted explosives that could be detonated everywhere, waiting for her to step into it.

This kind of alchemy item that can only be used in siege warfare is a "forbidden circulation" on the magic tower, which is difficult to obtain, and the advantage is that there is no need to cast spells, so the opponent can detonate them with a little magic power.

Willett used herself as bait and chose to use it as a trap, betting that she wouldn't kill her in the first place, and that she would enter a place that could be blown up at any moment to convince her. In other words, this woman had the intention of killing herself from the beginning!

This female lunatic ......

Duncan Davy cursed as he quickly retreated.

The ground beneath his feet was dented and shattered, the beams above his head broke, and countless rubbles fell like a torrential rain.

When this place is in ruins, if he can't escape in time, he will also be buried under the rubble, right?

Duncan Davy didn't have time to unleash the barrier magic, so he had to use the defensive effect of the alchemical items on his body to fight it.

But the problem is that this explosion was carefully calculated, and it shattered the ground in the first place, so that now he has lost his foothold at the beginning, and can only use flying skills to keep not falling, but it is very dangerous in this state, and there is no way to dodge it in time, so he can only carry it hard.

Fortunately, the distance from inside the house to the outside of the house was not too far for a high-ranking wizard, and even if he became a target, he retreated to the periphery in the blink of an eye and was not harmed.

However, it was only at this time that Duncan David noticed to his horror that the explosion was not only affecting the house, but also the street outside the house and the entire square.

Welllet......!

Duncan Davy gritted his teeth, knowing that he had underestimated the other man's mind and determination.

In fact, when the witch was first attacked by herself, she had already thought of the decision to risk her own life and die with the enemy, and set a trap in advance.

With a large number of steam pipes laid at the bottom of the tower, this place is not even too far from the power furnace in the core area, and the explosion is likely to cause an even greater disaster, and now he needs to find a stable place to settle down and make sure that the witch who fell underground is really dead.

The young wizard looked at the large black shadows falling overhead, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Wellett can get, and can also carry contraband, he naturally has the same backhand, and it was also given to him by Teacher Green himself, and he can use alchemy weapons that surpass the power of the higher ranks.

It's just that it's too loud to use in case it gets noticed......

But if he continues like this, when this area is completely destroyed, he will have no place to stand. And more importantly, Duncan Davy thinks that in this situation, it is impossible to find the other party in a short time.

Although he felt that in the current situation, the chances of Violet already dying were better...... But Duncan didn't dare to gamble the risk of being a traitor exposed on the odds.

At this moment, a huge black shadow rose high from Duncan's back, and the speed of approaching was so fast that people couldn't react for a while. Duncan David didn't choose to turn around, but he had already subconsciously raised his hand-

"Mr. David, don't be impatient. It's me. ”

A man's gentle voice came from his ears.

Duncan's face was gloomy. This type of magic, which speaks in a human ear, is known as "secret communication" and is a spell that creates a communication effect between a specific group of people and only works within a certain distance. So he naturally knew the person who spoke, but maybe Duncan didn't have the idea of putting his mind at ease at all.

“...... What do you want to do? ”

The young man quietly grasped the "weapon" given to him by Mariengrin and whispered in the magical communication.

"Don't worry, just take it easy."

There was a rustling sound from Duncan's side, like a snake crawling on the uneven sand—and only then did he see the true body of the "black shadow", which turned out to be a huge blue-black wrist and foot, which belonged to the body of a living creature from the countless "small mouths" that were constantly opening and closing.

He thought for a moment, gave up for a moment, and let the dark shadow wrap around his body, pulling him back from mid-air to solid ground, which was on top of a building in the distance.

Sure enough, a young man wearing monocles and a tuxedo was looking at him with a smile, and when he saw him fall to the ground, he politely saluted him slightly.

"Is there something wrong?"

Duncan Davy frowned, looking at him with some displeasure.

"Didn't I say I'll take care of this matter and keep your distance?"

As he spoke, he glanced silently at the wrist and foot that had fallen off his body, and watched it creep back into the darkness behind the young man.

Duncan Davy couldn't see what was hidden in the darkness, but a single touch alone had such an amazing power, and you can imagine the sheer size of the body.

A demon that can possess this size is by no means a generic thing, but at least a high-risk species, or even a super-dangerous species......

This guy came here with confidence, and sure enough, he didn't rely on a group of walking corpses who only eat people.

"But now, Mr. David, you're obviously in a little trouble."

The young man was not angry at his unkindness, but explained with a smile.

"And we're running out of time."

“...... What do you want to do? ”

"I've already relayed everything I had to say to you, and all that's left is to escort you back to Master Green and deal with the witnesses. Mr. David, are you worried that the woman will leak secrets? Rest assured, I'll take care of it, and I won't show my feet. ”

He didn't wait for Duncan's response before snapping his fingers. The giant monster's blue-black tentacles shot out like arrows from the string towards the smoke-shrouded place.

"By the way, for the sake of the latest magic experiment, let's let her end up with an ending that matches this place. For example, what if you are infected with a monster that has lost your mind? Deep into the plague zone, a good witch who bravely tries to solve the source of the plague and save people becomes one of the dead in this disaster. It's so reasonable that no one will doubt it. ”

……

A few minutes later, the wristfoot dragged a blonde girl covered in dust and blood back from the shattered underground—Duncan guessed that the demon's wrists and feet might be full of some kind of extremely sensitive sensory organs, so he could easily get his hands on it—the witch's face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she was obviously in a coma from her injuries.

However, the moment he saw Villeret, Duncan David did not have the slightest idea of "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now".

“...... What is that? ”

Mr. Crowley, who had been smiling all the time, had a serious expression this time.

Because the girl's body is flashing with an unusual red light-
