Chapter 43: The End of the Madman
Seeing Jotaro get into the car, Rem also went to drive quite consciously Betty also stood up and gave way to Jotaro, and after Jotaro sat down, he sat on Jotaro's lap as he should.
"Jotaro, what's going on now?" Emilia asked casually.
Although she asked such a question, she did not have a little worry between the lines, after all, the tall man in front of her was quite reliable.
Jotaro pressed the brim of his hat: "Moby Dick has been solved, now you only need to ambush the next witch cult in the village." Now go back to the mansion to pack your things, and take the villagers to the sanctuary first, and I will follow you in soon." β
"That's ......" Although Emilia actually wants to help, she is not really good at fighting, and she doesn't seem to have her own use......
"There's no way around it, who made Jotaro too reliable." Emilia couldn't help but think.
[Betty, I ask you a few things.] After signing the contract with Betty, Jotaro and Betty were naturally able to communicate spiritually.
[What's the matter, Jotaro, what are you going to ask?] The young girl sitting on the man's lap tilted her head back and looked at the man with beautiful eyes as beautiful as flowers.
[Do you know Jus?] Hearing Jotaro's words, the young girl's flower-like pupils instantly contracted violently, and her eyes were filled with consternation, obviously not expecting that the man in front of her would ask this question.
But Betty quickly came to her senses, this man had frightened her many times, and she had gradually gotten used to it, whether it was the man who often surprised her, or the days after signing the contract with this man.
"He used to be Betty's etiquette teacher and one of the founders of the Witch Cult. I know my mother, although the relationship is not very familiar. Jotaro, why are you asking this? β
"Because we will soon meet him, only now he is no longer the same person he used to be, but Peticius Romaniconti."
Betty thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Could it be that you are talking about the Witch Sect's Neglect Sect of Sins." β
"It's him, the reason why he became what he is now is because he used the slacking witch factor that he has not mastered more than a hundred years ago, and under the influence of the power of the "false witch" Pandora, he accidentally killed his sweetheart Fortuna, that is, Emilia's adoptive mother, and was taken away by Pandora to brainwash after a mental breakdown, which created today's sin of neglect."
"That's ......," Betty muttered in dismay, unaware that her delicate lips had been bitten by herself.
"You also probably know the rest of the matter, the young Emilia went on a rampage, froze the entire Elliole Great Forest, and was rescued by Parker more than a hundred years later, but at this time, her memory has been tampered with by the woman Pandora, and she must not remember what happened when she was a child at all."
"Betty, how much do you know about Pandora and Hector the Melancholy Witch?"
After taking a few deep breaths, Betty adjusted her mood, and there was a trace of hatred and anger in her beautiful pupils: "The two of them were expelled from the Nine Deadly Sins by the Seven Great Witches, including Betty's mother, for some reason more than four hundred years ago, and Betty doesn't know much about the details, but what can be determined is that Hector is the real murderer who killed his mother." β
"Although Betty has never seen that woman in Pandora, she has heard her mentioned by her mother, this woman is not a good thing, otherwise her mother would not have expelled her with other witches."
"Come to think of it, as far as I know, Pandora and Hector are still alive now, and they have secretly designed this world for four hundred years, and the subhuman war in the Kingdom of Lugnica more than forty years ago, and the death of the previous generation of Sword Saints are all directly related to this woman."
Listening to Jotaro's words, Betty was silent, as if it had been silent for a century.
Finally, the young girl raised her head, her flower-like eyes were covered with a layer of mist, as if she was about to cry out in the next second, and looked at Jotaro with pleading, and her tone was pitiful and heartbreaking:
Jotaro ...... Help Betty...... Would you like to help Betty kill the two of them and avenge Betty's mother? Please......"
Jotaro interrupted Betty with a smile, and said with reason: "I promise you, this is not only for Betty, but also for the people who have been hurt by them in the past four hundred years, the two of them are the greatest evil in the world, and I, Jotaro, will not let them go if I am reasonable." β
"Jotaro, you're the best!" Betty burst into tears and laughed, and suddenly hugged Jotaro fiercely, and some hot little faces were tightly pressed against Jotaro's chest, and she didn't want to let go for a long time.
"Okay, okay......" Jotaro was not unhappy about Betty's reaction and behavior, but just caressed the back of Betty's head lovingly.
I originally thought that I could get some information from Betty, but unfortunately, Betty didn't know much about the abilities of these two people, and Jotaro was not annoyed, which was also expected by him, and he didn't feel surprised.
Instead of thinking about the enemies that are yet to come, think about how to deal with the enemies of the present.
The convoy soon reached the vicinity of the village, and under Jotaro's arrangement, one group set up camp in place to hide from the people, while the other group dispersed and carried out a wave of counter-ambushes based on information gleaned from the captured rats and the enemy's hiding place.
Presumably, this group of witch cultists in their minds had no idea that their information had been leaked, and they didn't even think that hunters, who were often hunting prey, would also become the prey of others.
Despite Betty's reluctance, Jotaro left her where she was, with Emilia and the others, choosing to deal with the slack on her own.
Although Betty has repeatedly emphasized that she and Hughes do not have a good relationship, not to mention that Slack is no longer the Hughes she remembers, but a complete psychopathic madman Peticius Romaniconti.
But Jotaro still didn't choose to let Betty follow, not only for concealment, but also because of slackness Anyway, he was also Betty's teacher and Betty's old acquaintance, and an elf like Betty with an endless lifespan must be uncomfortable to see his centuries-old acquaintance die.
With the precision of the powerful power brought about by the possession of the platinum star, Jotaro stepped on the branches in the canopy and flew forward, and the power of the platinum star allowed Jotaro to constantly jump back and forth in the forest with the help of the branches, and the precision allowed Jotaro to make a sound without stepping on the branches.
Soon, Jotaro arrived at the hiding place of the tortured lazy, a clearing in the forest, and found the goal of his trip at a glance.
It was a man with an unusually thin figure, bloodless complexion, pale and neat dark green hair, and at this time he was excitedly directing a few black-robed people who did not show any skin to carry something.
Roughly estimating the time, it is still a while before Wilhelm and Ricardo and the two of them lead the team to clean up the nearby witch cultists.
Jotaro thought, took out a cigarette from his coat pocket, put it to his lips, lit a small flame between his fingers, lit the cigarette, took a puff unhurriedly, enjoying the intoxication brought by the high-quality tobacco, and then spit out a large cloud of burnt and sweet smoke, and his thoughts became clearer and smoother.
After a while, the magic guide in his pocket reacted, and Jotaro slowly pulled out something that looked like a small mirror and unfolded it.
"Oooh! It's lit up! Can you see Filly's face? The lenses flickered with a flash of color, and Felix's lovely face was immediately reflected.
"I saw it, I saw it very clearly." Jotaro smiled and continued to ask, "How's things going?" β
"Will Ye and Ricardo have cleaned up all the witches in the vicinity, but according to the information from the torture, there should be a group of witches lurking nearby, the target should be the village, and we have already ambushed in the village."
"I don't think you should need to go out, no matter how stupid those witch cultists are, they should also find that the situation has changed, the villagers' evacuation team is moving so much, presumably their next target will be shifted to the evacuation team, but with Emilia and Ram, don't worry."
"Na Na Na, I said, Jotaro couldn't help but think too thoughtfully, we basically didn't lose anything when we won the Witch Sect." Felix blinked, grumbling in distress.
"Personally, I think it's the best thing to do," Jotaro raised the corners of his mouth, and then his expression became solemn: "That's the joke here, it's time to send this bastard to hell." β
Jotaro's body ignited with golden arrogance, a sharp strange sound and the click of clockwork sounded, the world was stripped of color, turned into dead black and white, even though the long river of time was immense, it was also cut off by the power of the powerful stand-in, so that everything in the world stopped, waiting for the man's gorgeous performance.
Several throwing knives were taken out of thin air by Jotaro and thrown mercilessly at the black-robed men, their sharp edges hovering in the air just a stone's throw in front of them, waiting for the river of time to resume its flow and send itself into the heads of sinners to end their sins.
"Bang!" Jotaro jumped high, jumped up in the air out of thin air, as if he had trampled the air, and fell straight to a place only a dozen meters in front of the slack.
"Time is starting to flow." As Jotaro's voice fell, the world returned to its colours, the river of time flowed again, and the eager spikes finally got their wish and rushed into their destination, shattering the brains of sinners along with the crimes they had committed.
Today's sluggishness was very happy, because he would soon be able to start the trial he wanted, and it made him feel like his brain was trembling.
But suddenly, the "fingers" who were working diligently for the trial, suddenly, without warning, bloomed on their necks, red and white intertwined flowers. They bloomed like a flash in the pan for the final performance, falling to the ground one by one like inspired dominoes, as if they were in a grand curtain call.
The lazy froze in place, like a person who had been dead for a long time, but his lifeless eyes were wide, and Jotaro, who was as plain as water, looked at each other like this.
After a long time, the eyes that had sunken deep into the slack finally covered with a layer of mist, and large tears flowed down like a faucet.
"Ahh A low, bewildered howl welled up deep in his throat, like a broken blower.
"How dare you?! Doing such a thing to my cute 'fingers'?! His mad words containing anger were like scraping a dry tree bark.
"Brain, brain is trembling!" His body leaned back at an extremely strange amplitude, and the fingers of both hands were stretched into his mouth and biting wildly, as if he couldn't feel pain, even the flesh and blood of his fingers had been bitten by himself, and he didn't care that the blood was overflowing from his mouth and dripping on the ground, which looked extraordinarily oozing.
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Suddenly, in Jotaro's perception, several invisible strips stretched out from his sluggish body, and he pounced on Jotaro with his teeth and claws.
Jotaro was expressionless, just stood in place, stretched out his arms flatly, as if he was swatting a worthless mosquito to death, and scattered all the invisible hands that pounced: "Poor and weak, poor and weak!" To this extent, are you embarrassed to say that you serve a witch? β
Although the arms were invisible, Jotaro seemed to him to be almost as fast as a snail crawling, and it wasn't completely invisibleβthe undisguised malice made it hard not to notice.
"How is that possible? Can you see it? Slack straightened up in shock, his bloodshot eyes widened in disbelief.
"Nope! How can you see that? I'm a witch who has been pampered by witches, and I'm a witch who teaches the great sin of peticius Romanicondi! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable! β
Slack frantically tore at his hair, and in Jotaro's perception, more and more condensed arms emerged from Slack Love, rushing towards him faster than just now.
Jotaro moved, and the afterimage of his fist in the air turned into a white wall, like a meat grinder, and without hesitation, he scattered all the outstretched arms: "It's useless, it's useless, it's useless!" Is that all there is to it? β
Gasping for breath, looking at Jotaro who had no waves, when he found that his attack had no effect on the inexplicable man who suddenly appeared in front of him, he finally calmed down and looked at Jotaro vigilantly: "Who are you guys?" What the hell are you doing here? β
"I probably know what kind of valuable thing you are, so let's stop here." "What?" Hearing the man's unreasonable words, he was a little puzzled.
In the next moment, the tall man in front of him, as if he had suddenly appeared, suddenly disappeared without warning, and he was stunned in place, at a loss.
Is all this an illusion of oneself? I can't help but think so.
No! Not an illusion! My 'fingers' were shot out of their heads, and they fell to the ground pitifully, and all this is not an illusion!
"What happened? Where did he go? He looked around and screamed, as if he was hiding something.
Suddenly, the sound of steady breathing came from behind the slack, and the revenant turned his head in horror to find that Jotaro had come to the place close behind him without knowing when.
"When?" I want to say something, I want to move something, but at this moment, he is like a little rabbit pressed by a lion, and his body is overwhelmed by extreme fear and Jotaro's momentum of choosing people, and he can't even turn back.
"As a practice, let you see. Now that it's time for your curtain call, I'll tell you! My power is the power to rule the world in the true sense of the word! β
"I can stop time, and only I can move during this time of being stopped, and this is the ability of my 'Platinum Star'!"
"Poof!" With the sound of flesh tearing, the shriveled face became hideous, and the shriveled facial features twisted together, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Jotaro, who was expressionless, approached Slack's ear and said coldly: "Although I am very grateful to Hughes for taking care of Emilia when she was a child, but now you are the Priest of the Great Sin of Slackness." I won't let you hurt anyone I care about anymore, whoever it is, I will never allow anyone to threaten the people I hold dear, never! Give me a sure disappearance! β
"Poof!" "Click!" With a tooth-aching sound of bones shattering, Jotaro's fist slammed through Lazy's chest, bringing out a large stream of blood with a few fragments of internal organs.
"Petyrchius Romaniconti, your mission as the Witch Sect's Neglect Priest of the Great Sin has come to an end here!" "Ahh
The arm that penetrated the chest of the slack was raised high, lifting the whole person of the slack, and the half of the arm that passed through the chest ignited the flames, instantly igniting the slack, as if he was holding a humanoid fireball.
The blazing flames instantly scorched the internal organs of Slacking Love, and even the blood that spilled from Jotaro's arm was evaporated, and he couldn't even scream a few times.
Neglect the teachings of the great sin, completely die, and can't get up again.
