Chapter 104: It's My Turn
This light does not give the impression of a blazing flame like a raging fire, but like an aurora falling from the depths of the heavenly dome. An ethereal neon shrouded the girl's pale skin, making her look like she was wearing a gorgeous dress;
The light further converged above her head, reminiscent of the ancient legend of the crown worn by the gods who walked between the mountains and rivers for the Chosen King, a crown of holiness and supremacy.
Dense circles of runes loomed and flowed in the long golden hair, and swirled around the girl's closed pupils.
But this red light appeared and went quickly, and disappeared without a trace in an instant. The unconscious Willett eventually fell to the ground, motionless like a doll.
Crowley and Duncan Davy looked at each other.
When the crown of light appeared, they even felt a visceral sense of oppression. The feeling was familiar to both of them: they often had similar experiences when facing their teachers. The fleeting "breath" of Willet's body is even above this.
In other words, this is the case only when there is a "rank" suppression.
But...... How is this possible?
Before they could react, the amazing experience only appeared for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.
"...... this?"
Crowley pushed the monocle that slipped off the bridge of his nose, and his voice was low and questioning.
Duncan Davy didn't respond, and his heart was even more suspicious.
He knew that the woman was a member of the Edward family, an abandoned test subject, to be exact. However, hasn't the teacher already confirmed that there is no secret in her? What's going on now?
……
"Mr. David, you need to make a judgment as soon as possible."
Crowley reminded from the sidelines. Compared to Duncan, although he was curious about what happened to the witch, his attitude was more leisurely.
Because he is now a bystander. Crowley's order from his teacher was to "help the other party and complete the deal between the two of them", and he has now completed the task, and he has not left here out of interest, and as for the consequences of the actions of the two, it has nothing to do with his future self.
"It's worthy of being one of the 'stars that shine on the wizarding world', and there is something very interesting hidden in it......"
He thought of the young man he saw in the dungeon who was suspected of being a "legendary swordsman", and he couldn't help but feel such a feeling.
Duncan Davy squeezed his fingers hard to calm himself down.
...... Now is not the time to think about such a thing.
Even if there were any secrets in Villett, what was the point for him?
In the case that there is no way to make the other party succumb, in order to keep the secret of himself and the Grimm School, he can only kill the killer, and the teacher will agree with his choice.
Not to mention......
His eyes darkened.
If there was some mysterious power in Willett that even legendary wizards hadn't noticed, where would she be if she ever returned to the school one day?
She must not be allowed to live. The young man who made up his mind didn't even have the last regret in his heart.
Duncan Davy gestured to his temporary companion.
"You're really ruthless, obviously a rare beauty......"
Crowley muttered like this, but there was no trace of regret on his face. In this case, he already knew the choice that the other party would make.
He took a glass bottle out of his pocket, carefully dripping the liquid from it towards the girl lying on the ground, and began to observe the changes with interest.
After half a ring, Willett's body began to appear with dark and sickly lines, and the girl's skin became more and more pale against the background of this gloomy color.
Her eyelids vibrated slightly, as if she was struggling to wake up.
"Done?"
Duncan Davy looked at him suspiciously.
Crowley nodded.
"The effect of the plague magic in the past is limited to those who have reached the higher ranks. Even if they do nothing, they are more than capable of resisting the ravages of dark magic. ”
"Ordinary plagues can't affect the wizard's cerebral cortex, and if the other party is a knight, the effect is even weaker, and even the body's circulatory system can't invade."
...... I see. Duncan thought that no wonder they would choose to spread the plague at the bottom of the tower, for the reason that it would not be noticed by the higher-ups, the magic itself had weaknesses.
Although the power of the magic of the two evil realms is treacherous and difficult to prevent, it still follows the most basic rule of strength and weakness in this world: that is, the level of rank.
"But the black magic unleashed on the basis of this new material is different." Crowley shook the glass bottle in his hand, "Its effect is more powerful, even the High Wizard can't resist, it will be transformed into an evil in a short time, and it can still retain a certain amount of wisdom, and even the instinct of the human period will remain in the body." ”
"As for her...... I don't think this girl has reached the higher rank yet, right? If so, her body will collapse in the clash of self-defense mechanisms and dark magic, first a little loss of magic, and then a slow death in a painful coma......"
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief at first, but he soon realized that he had heard something terrible: plague magic that even the High Wizards couldn't resist? And how can you turn a wizard into a sapient demon?
Duncan Davy knew, of course, that some special humanoid demons did possess a considerable degree of intelligence, but he had never heard of magic that could transform people into demons.
In his heart, the danger level of the peer in front of him, and the dark wizard standing behind him, who had the ability to develop this terrifying magic, suddenly rose several notches.
I'll have to report to Mr. Green, he thought.
"Alright, let's say goodbye, Mr. David. If you continue to stay here, chances will you be noticed, so you might as well go back sooner. ”
"What about you?"
"I'm leaving too. But before that, there's something my teacher is interested in that I need to investigate, so I'll stay for a few hours. ”
"Interested in something? You mean at the 'bottom'? ”
Duncan Davy gave a strange look.
"Yes."
Crowley nodded and replied with a smile. His attitude was very honest, and Duncan was embarrassed to say anything for a while. However, he soon noticed that the smile on the other party's face did not last long.
Crowley's face was serious, his eyes closed, and he was muttering words, as if he was communicating with something. Duncan could hear an uneasy commotion coming from the darkness behind him.
"What's going on?"
The young man with monocles was silent for a moment before speaking.
"The demon I arranged near the central area was attacked just a dozen seconds ago...... Then more than two hundred died in an instant. ”
"Who did it?"
Duncan Davy suddenly had a bad feeling.
“...... Someone. Crowley sighed deeply, "Somebody is likely...... Very powerful wizard. ”
His companion's answer was worse than he expected.

Under the gaze of the God of Contract, the psychic contract turned into a pale green screen in his vision, on which the rank and extraordinary abilities of the Spell Lord were clearly marked.
This is the materialization of the contract after the relationship is formally established, that is, the "contract book", which will be transformed into a text display that is easy to read and display according to each person's differences. For the wizards of this world, this kind of contract proof is usually converted into scrolls or books, which is why it is called so.
Richard, on the other hand, is similar to the properties panel in a video game.
In his field of vision, a long list of magic trickles flowed down like a waterfall, displaying the full power of the Legendary Rank Spirits. Looking at the list of spells, there are at least two hundred of them. He deeply felt the power that a truly powerful extraordinary person can have in this world-
Now, the time to use that power.
It's a very pleasant feeling, just like a level 1 trumpet can manipulate a level 100 boss to farm monsters.
Richard couldn't wait.
……
By the time he stepped out of the ground, the abrupt explosion had stopped.
Following the instructions of Miss Real Name, he headed in the direction where the resonance came from. Unsurprisingly, it coincided with the site of the explosion. Not surprisingly, Richard was attacked by a horde of demons on the streets.
"It looks like the entire ground floor has been occupied......"
He thought.
While the survivors are hiding in their houses and underground facilities, the walking dead walk in the sun as if they are the masters of the place.
The bloodthirsty monsters finally saw the living people, and their cloudy eyes immediately emitted red light, shaking their mutilated limbs, grinning their deformed mouths, and rushing towards this side.
The signal of "prey found" was transmitted rapidly through the hungry corpses, and in a few moments, the rotting bodies were rolling in like a tidal wave.
If he had seen this kind of battle before, Richard would definitely not say a word, turn around and run away. In the face of this amount, he can hack one or two to death, but in the end, he will definitely be eaten to the bones.
Now, it's a different story.
The sorcerer, wearing a silver mask and holding a snake staff, stood still unconcerned in the face of the terrifying tide of corpses, as if he were not facing a group of vicious man-eating monsters, but insects that could be wiped out with a wave of his hand.
He snapped his fingers in arrogance.
- "Enchanted Lord, go and clean this place. ”
