Chapter 519: Sudden Death
When Clarus returned to the room where the witch had been, he was taken aback by the sight of a warrior like him, who was accustomed to all sorts of unexpected situations. The original excuse used by the Raven to get him to turn back was to spy on Kouira to see if she would fulfill the deal. But the Demon Spawn has now clearly realized that this is just a wizard's words, and the real purpose of the gray robe to make him turn back is to...
"Are you watching over there, or are you here to help?" said Kiri riding on Coula's back, her hands wrapped around the spider silk and using it as a noose to strangle the latter's neck. It was clear to Clarus that the cold iron necklace that was supposed to be hanging around Kiri's neck was attached to Kouira's chest.
The power of Cold Iron is very strong, and although the necklace is no longer on her body, it will take some time for Qili to recover her magic. She didn't want to bet on whether Kuyla would be able to control her pets if she lost her mana, so after a successful sneak attack, the witch chose to solve the problem between her and the elder in the most primitive way. But Kiri still miscalculated one thing, that is, compared to Kouira, her muscle strength was obviously insufficient, and after the initial surprise dissipated, the older witch gradually regained control of the situation, and if Clarus had been a few dozen seconds late, I am afraid that the situation between the two would have been reversed.
The Demon Spawn surveyed the room, where two of Kuira's most loyal pets, the Black Scorpion and the White Spider, roamed safely. Apparently they don't realize that their master is in the middle of life and death. If he had seen this scene rashly, it would have been possible for Krus to take it as a trap to lure him, and it was likely that Kiri and Kuira were just acting, and as soon as he got close to them, the two of them would have teamed up with the two giant insects to surround them. But the Raven's inappropriate words flashed through his mind at this moment, and the sneer on the wizard's face when he mentioned his concerns about the trade proved that he had probably designed the scene in front of him.
"Hurry up! I want it, I can't hold it back!" Qili's voice urged, and the Kouira's cape beneath her was so distracted that it was hard to see. But the old witch's hands holding the noose had become dry and ugly, and the protruding veins and dense age spots on them made people wonder how many years the owner of the hands had lived this year.
Krus shook his head, and the dagger in his left hand was handed to his right. His whole body was bowed, his legs were spread back and forth, and with the explosion of muscle power, the speed of the demon's sprint was so fast that people suspected that he was looking at a streamer!
"Poof!" dark red blood spurted far down the wound on his neck, but the seasoned killer wouldn't stand still waiting to be splattered with blood, and Karus had already turned behind Kouira, taking the place of Kiri, who had fallen from the broken silk. At the same time, the long sword that glowed red because of the high temperature had already appeared in his hand.
There were no prayers, no chance to say the last words, and the death brought by the killer was always so fast, swift, and precise. The long sword, piercing through the gap between the ribs and reaching the heart, the magic that could have protected the witch's life was completely ineffective under the influence of the cold iron, allowing the blade of destruction to penetrate the center of life without hindrance, and then pierced through the chest, completely ending the possibility of Kuira's survival.
"Squeak!" Davy and Jones, who were on the sidelines, realized the pain of their master, but the witch's death also affected the creatures who were connected to her spirit. A large amount of pus dripped down the mouthparts of the two giant insects, their sturdy carapaces turned dull at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their strong legs lost the strength to support their bodies, and they fell to the ground in a daze.
"Smack. Kouira's body fell face to the ground in the dirt. The Demon Spawn stepped on her back and drew his sword, bringing out half a cracked heart. This invincible witch had just been trading with the Grey Robe, but now she had turned into a corpse. And Qili, who was supposed to be a corpse, sat on the ground and laughed at the death of her elder.
Karus was in no mood to care about Kiri's mental state, and he turned Kuira's body over with his foot, looking at the cold iron amulet on it. "You planned all of this, and you planned to deal with her in this way from the moment the crow attacked you?"
"Haha, hahaha..."The living witch wiped tears from the corners of her eyes as she struggled to stop laughing. She stood up, walked over to Kuira's body, raised her foot and tried to kick, but didn't. "There is no one in the world who knows witches better than witches, and no one can say how many means of saving her life there are on Kuira. But no matter how many means she has, she can't help this little piece of iron. Qili said, bending down and taking the cold iron talisman in her hand, "This is simply the poison of all witches, as long as I have this, no matter who is in the witch group, I can replace it, ah!"
The witch without magic didn't see Clarus's movements at all, and the amulet in her hand had already been taken. "Accept what the wizard has given you indiscriminately, and your lesson is at your feet, don't you understand?" the Demon Descendant pointed to the corpse with his chin and shoved the cold iron into his pocket.
Kiri's gaze followed the amulet, and she became intrigued by the object used to plot against her kind, but considering the gap between herself and the demon, she wisely didn't say anything more. "Forget it, my purpose has been achieved anyway. Then I'll be completely free!" the witch cheered and jumped out of the room.
"Freedom. If only it really turned out to be what you imagined. The killer whispered. It's not that he can't understand the feeling of breaking free from the chains. But he also knew that sudden freedom could lead people down a path that was contrary to their hearts. The Demon Spawn looked down at the old witch's corpse, having lost the blessing of her magic, and Kuyla was completely withered like a dried corpse, as if a little spark could make her burn. "As long as you don't live like this. ”
With that, Krus bowed his head and pulled the dagger from the witch's neck, intending to tell the news to the raven first. But just after he removed the dagger, Kuira, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly grabbed the killer's arm. There was an uncomfortable sound coming from the throat with a large hole.
"You guys, think he's only counting me? no, he's counting all of you, everyone..."
Dark red flames rose from the old witch's wounds, and by the time the Demonborn pulled her arm out of the witch's fingernails, Kuira's head and body had been burned to ashes. Soon, the flames consumed her remaining limbs, erasing all traces of the witch's existence.
Fighting his discomfort, Clarus used his dagger to pick open the ashes, and found a brooch under a fragment of clothing. The brooch had been blackened, but the Demon Descendant recognized its pattern at a glance, the white lion, the emblem of the royal family.
