Chapter 3: The Witch Contract

The hearts of the other temporary guards were also sprouted by Elijah, and they sympathized with this girl who looked no different from humans, and summoned up the courage to denounce: "Lord Daniel's hot hands destroy flowers, which makes people ...... despicable."

Daniel sneered: "A group of idiots who follow the facial features, let's care about yourself first." ”

With that, he took out a bottle of secret medicine and poured it into his mouth, his eyes flashing red.

The blue aether that was sent to the circle instantly turned bloody red.

Charlotte was hit by the red energy and flew backwards.

Soon, the entire altar's magic circle turned completely red, and Charlotte and the other five temporary workers were instantly entangled in the red ether emitted by the magic circle.

The red aether energy, like vine tentacles, dragged everyone's body, dragging them to the six corners of the hexagram.

Charlotte struggled to get out, only to find that the aetheric tentacles wrapped around her body would increase the force of the restraint.

At this time, Daniel seemed to have completely changed from a knight's solemnity, but his face was full of violence, and his pupils were completely red.

"Do you really think that if it was just to execute the Witch's Cocoon, I would tear all my teammates apart, and instead I would need you six pieces of waste?"

Daniel's throat erupted with a hoarse laugh.

Charlotte's face turned pale, his previous perception was correct, Daniel had other plans.

Daniel's whole body tensed at this time, maintaining the operation of the circle, and sneered:

"You Muggles, you are just a sacrifice to Goddess Mella so that I can forcibly control the power of the witch.

That's right, what we are doing is not the circle that executes the witch, but the blood sacrifice circle. ”

The sudden change shocked the people present.

They never imagined that the members of the Mounted Police Regiment, who claimed to be the most loyal to the goddess Thea, would also betray their faith and willingly degenerate.

The makeshift guard beside Charlotte struggled and said:

"Mistress Daniel...... Have you forgotten the teachings of the Holy Book of "Star Heaven Ya Tour", Lord Thea is the supreme, holy, and immaculate incarnation, and all our beings are born from the World Tree and are under the shadow of Thea, and if you do so, your soul will be judged by angels and eternally cursed, and you will not be able to return to the ...... of the World Tree."

Daniel chuckled twice.

"That's right, the priest of the Holy See of Xiya, this is how you brainwashed you when you were a child."

With that, he pulled out his magic guide from his bosom.

"For a long time, our ancestors prayed to the goddess, but plagues, famines, and monsters continued to plague us until the advent of the Aether technological revolution."

"We can use the Demon Guide Cultivation Sequence to improve our strength and remove the threat of monsters; We used Aether Crystals to power large workshops to escape famine, and we used Steam Airships and Steam Fortresses to expand our territory in the wilderness. ”

"These ...... But it's all the credit of the scholars at the University of Actor, and what can Thea's faith offer me other than the false glory of paying lip service to me? ”

With that, he turned his head to look at Ilya, who was restrained in his hand, and a flash of greed flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, I might as well take a place in the contract of a newborn witch and get a ticket to participate in the witch ranking. At the very least, the Council of Witches is much more generous than the Holy See, and I have seen it myself, "that Lord" has fulfilled his desires with the power of Mira. ”

Charlotte felt that the vitality on her body was slowly fading, and her body was like thousands of ants gnawing at her.

At this time, the weak voice of the witch Ilya sounded in my head again:

“…… Mr. Charlotte, Daniel is preparing to force a contract with me. It stands to reason that the contract cannot be established without the witch's active invitation, but he is breaking this rule with a forbidden sacrificial circle.

However, the sacrificial circle is not yet complete, and if I can preemptively sign a contract with you, there is hope that the situation will be reversed......"

Charlotte was barely conscious, and the sacrificial circle was stripping away his ability to think.

As long as he grabbed the quota of the contract first, he could interrupt Daniel's sacrificial circle and allow him and five other innocent people to escape and ascend to heaven.

Moreover, the moment he saw the paper man's wife become a living person just now, he had already made a decision in his heart.

"I'm going to ...... How is it...... Sign a contract? ”

Seeing Charlotte agree, the other party revealed surprise in his weak tone:

"Get rid of all the distractions in your head...... Let me be the only one left in your eyes...... Then, the right hands of the two of us were folded together. ”

At this time, Charlotte's upper and lower eyelids were almost together.

He bit his lip violently, and red blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, and the person instantly sobered up.

Then, tremblingly, he held out his right hand to Ilya.

On the other side, Ilya also raised her arm slightly and stretched out her hand to the other party.

At this time, Daniel, who was maintaining the sacrificial circle, sensed Charlotte's intentions, and he increased the energy output of the circle.

Charlotte suddenly felt a pain like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, and vomited a mouthful of blood. His clothes were in tatters, and new wounds were appearing on the surface of his skin.

The pain in his heart made him sober up a little more, and he tried to reach out to the other party.

But at this time, Ilya's outstretched arm paused, and it seemed that she was about to be restrained and unconscious.

Charlotte called out to the other in her consciousness:

"I can't sleep yet...... Miss Elijah. ”

“……”

No, she had to think of something that would lift her spirits. Charlotte thought for a moment and said with her consciousness:

"Your zodiac sign is Sagittarius, your favorite animal is a Siamese cat, your favorite sweet tooth is tiramisu, and the thing you hate is to wake up early ......"

"Hey, these are obvious...... It's all a girl's secret, how do you know? ”

"Take my hand...... I'll tell you. ”

Ilya's eyelashes fluttered a few times, and her arms raised slightly again.

At this time, Daniel saw Charlotte's gradually blue face, revealing a slight pity.

"Do you know where you Muggles are sad?

Obviously unable to turn over in this life, but forcibly refusing to accept fate, vainly trying to change his life against the sky through these little tricks, this kind of ant struggle is really ridiculous and sad, like a street rat struggling in the cold winter ice and snow. ”

The other five people trapped in the circle also noticed Charlotte, who was covered in injuries.

They were blown away.

These people had already given up hope of survival and lay down to die, and at this time they felt ashamed in their hearts.

Obviously, they were afraid that Charlotte would be fined for implicating them, but now Charlotte is the only one who has not given up.

The five of them looked at each other with a hint of determination in their eyes.

Let this bastard see, Muggles are bloody too!

They struggled with what little strength they had left, fell to Daniel, and hugged each other's ankles and arms, temporarily attracting each other's attention for a few seconds.

"Quick!" Five people shouted.

Charlotte seized the opportunity and used her last bit of strength to clash her palms with Elijah's palms.

"Did You Know ......"

Charlotte struggled to open her mouth slightly, looking at Daniel with a playful look.

"Rats are the most tenacious species."

Rumble!

A blood-red glow bloomed through the sky.

The qi wave generated by the shock wave blew everyone away from the magic circle, and after a few flashes of the red ether array on the altar, it was completely extinguished, and the sacrificial formation was destroyed.

Charlotte's magic guide received a new message: "Warm reminder from the Anti-Fraud Center of the Kingdom of Sophia...... There are already 100,000 victims ......"

But this message is quickly blocked by the noise of snowflakes produced by the witch's power.

After the contract was completed, Charlotte noticed a noticeable change in her body, and she could feel the flow of aether in her surroundings.

Mountains, the earth, the rivers...... The ubiquitous cycle of aetheric energy.

Magic Guide Reminder: "A contract has been signed with the Witch, the exploration progress has been updated, and the developer interface has now unlocked the [Player Panel - Demon Fallen Class], and some functions have been opened."

The information on the main interface was refreshed, and Charlotte's cultivation sequence column changed from Muggle to "Apprentice of the Demon", and several buttons of "Witch Management", "Lottery" and "Exchange" were added.

It seems that the contact with the witch is also a part of unlocking the progress of the developer's interface. The developer interface in his hand is bound to the profession of the demon devastation.

After breaking away from her Muggle status, Charlotte could clearly feel a leap in her physical functioning, and he tried to wave his arms lightly, and even felt a slight explosion of air piercing through the air.

This is probably the difference between the supernatural abilities of the cultivation sequence and the ordinary people.

Paradoxically, he barely felt any interaction between himself and the aether in the outside world.

Does this have anything to do with the Witch Pact?

After a few moments, Daniel also got up from the ground and looked around, and he quickly realized what was happening.

The deed ceremony that he had been preparing for a long time and at great cost was sabotaged by Charlotte.

Annoyed, he saw Ilya.

She was in a state that had just broken out of her cocoon, and coupled with the impact of the shock wave just now, she was still prostrate on the ground, and her physical ability had not yet recovered.

Daniel rushed towards Ilya without hesitation, and now he could only kill the witch first and remove the threat.
