Chapter 17: The Gluttonous Witch
Through the thin mist, the two ran to a slope.
The slope leads to the sky, and at the end of the slope, a huge steel gate towers. There are round holes inside the iron door, and the crimson streamer rotates counterclockwise.
Charlotte judged that it should be the exit of the Phantom Glass Realm.
Seeing that the cheese was about to catch up from behind, the two ran wildly towards the top of the slope.
A moment later, he noticed a loud rumbling noise in the sky above him, and subconsciously looked up.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
A number of large white ceramic bottles appeared in the sky, falling in the direction of Charlotte like meteors.
Charlotte frowned slightly, the operation of this small world in the Phantom Glass Realm was really illogical.
Bang! Smack!
The giant bottle smashed into a lot of craters, and he had to carry Ilya while running out of the serpentine position.
There are huge objects that keep falling overhead, and fierce dogs chasing behind him, and he feels that if it is accompanied by a song "Khaki Detachment", it will be more appropriate.
Finally, the two broke away from the giant bottle of rain and came to the iron gate.
The cheese that had been following him suddenly stopped, rolled in place a few times, his eyes were full of fear, and began to run back in joy......
“???”
Charlotte thought the cheese looked a little strange, and he turned his head to look at the iron door behind him.
It was only when he realized that this was not an arch, but a huge aether furnace with a rusty exterior and red sparks flying around it.
In the center of the furnace, there is a glowing egg-shaped object.
At the top of the egg-shaped, a dazzling point of light appears, and like a laser, it casts light outward.
The light is projected onto the door frame in front of it, creating a light curtain on which images begin to be reflected.
The picture is a picture of the life of Jenny and Tori's mother and daughter, but looking at their faces, the time of the image is not now, but a few years ago.
At this time, Torrie in the picture looks much thinner than she is now, and she looks very cute, which is very much in line with Charlotte's impression of her when she was a teenager.
In the picture, Jenny is educating her daughter: "If you want to survive in this cruel world, you have to abandon everything." In the face of poverty and hunger, dignity and face are worthless. ”
Later, there is a scene of Jenny secretly hooking up with the nobles of Yerba Buena and the Mounted Police.
Jenny would periodically send them money that was scavenged from the neighborhood to facilitate Jenny's work as a neighborhood officer.
This is the real reason why Jenny has been able to stand in the position of affairs officer over the years.
Seeing this, Charlotte finally understood why Paul was in favor of Jenny in such a hasty situation and was in a hurry to convict Venia.
Of course, giving wealth is not Jenny's only means of protecting her interests.
As Tori grew up, Jenny began to take advantage of her daughter's looks and trap those she wanted to take advantage of.
"It's just a meal with that gentleman, and you have to put on a cute smile as much as possible~"
"That chief is just holding hands with you, don't be nervous."
"Why did you run away from home, if you don't obey again, our mother and daughter will be bullied all the time."
……
Eventually, Tori gets tired of all of this, and she begins to eat and drink desperately to keep others from coming near her.
In the early morning, in the middle of the night, in every corner where her mother was not discovered, she was picking up greasy food and nibbling wildly.
If that's the case, everyone will hate her, and no one will ever approach her again, right?
Eventually, her mother discovered her stealing food, but she hid under the bed and continued to eat on the ground.
Jenny finally let out a hysterical outburst:
"Never, never put on this pose in front of me!"
……
Day after day, she ate herself into the image she is today.
Tori later began to enjoy the process of "eating" itself, and even for her, it was the only thing in the world that brought her solace.
The image flickered a few times, and then disappeared completely.
After reading Tory's memories, Charlotte fell silent, no wonder she has changed so dramatically over the years.
At this moment, the witch's cocoon in the ether furnace began to vibrate violently.
"Eat...... Eat ......"
Tori's voice came from inside the witch's cocoon, and a black hole appeared at the top of the cocoon, like a giant mouth of the abyss, and began to devour everything around it.
Soon, the witch's cocoon expanded rapidly, and then a light flashed from its surface, completely cracking.
A gigantic, bloated monster, covered in wet slime, crawled out of its cocoon.
Charlotte could barely tell from the look on her face that it was Torrey, but she was already three times her usual size, and her whole body looked fatter, and she could even see bulging blood vessels bubbling on the surface of her swollen skin.
Her body also took on an eerie blue-yellow color, and her mouth took on the shape of a locust's mouthparts.
Seeing that someone had broken into the territory, the witch looked up to the sky and roared, her mouth grinning:
"Tss
Charlotte's magic guide prompts:
"The Witch Council reminds you that a new witch has been born - Sequence 9: Gluttony Witch Torrey, this witch is a fallen species, please be careful."
"Fallen seeds?" Charlotte thought she had heard the term somewhere.
"Not all witches can retain reason and wisdom after birth, and this part of the witches who are no different from the walking dead are the degenerate species. The Fallen Seeds have little chance of regaining their rationality, and can only completely destroy their bodies and let their souls rest completely. ”
Ilya opened her mouth to explain, and seeing Tori like this, her expression was equally complicated.
Charlotte pulled out the Primordial Sword and began to cooperate with Ily to face Tori.
He rushed forward first, drawing Tori's attention with small sword strikes.
As one of the game developers, he practiced a lot of sword weapons during his internal testing.
In the previous route of the Phantom Realm, he walked through five forks in the road, and chose five buffs of attack speed, attack, dodge, movement speed, and hit, which made his melee wandering attack seem more comfortable.
Soon, a small range of wandering attacks caught Tori's attention, holding her hatred at bay.
If you want to truly defeat the enemies of Sequence 9, you need to use Elijah's special mystery "Judgment of Judgment", and the mystery only has one chance to use it, and after using it, it will immediately empty the mana gauge.
So he had to find the right moment.
"Eat...... I want more ......"
Torrey's eyes glazed off, her huge arms scratching around, pounding against the ground.
The surrounding ground stone slabs were overturned, and all kinds of food floating in mid-air also began to cooperate with Tori's emotions, spinning wildly, and the entire Phantom Glass Realm collapsed and began to become unstable.
When Charlotte felt Torily's large, vein-riddled hand grab her, he swooped down decisively.
As the giant hand passed overhead, the light of his cloak burst into light, causing him to dodge like a loach.
He looked down in amazement at the properties of the cloak:
"Prototyping Cloak of the Fallen Demon"
Quality: 2 stars
Attributes: Stamina 8, Spirit 8
Special Effect: Has a chance to reduce your presence during combat. The lower the opponent's sequence level, the higher the chance of "Non-Human Enemy Special Attack".
Reduce the sense of presence, in other words, reduce your hatred in the eyes of the enemy, and it's very useful to deal with some wild bosses like monsters and witches, and if you use it well, you can play a set of top pulls.
Tori kept flapping the ground, and Charlotte swam beside her like a loach and flying a kite, her eyes bloodshot purple and anger about to overflow.
At this time, Charlotte was glad that he had chosen the right buff all the way, even if one of the five options was wrong, he couldn't play this set of extreme pulls.
"Miss Elijah, are you alright?"
Charlotte turned her head to look at Elijah.
Ilya was now holding her scythe, intently searching for the right moment, her delicate body bowing slightly like a cat.
A rare serious look appeared in a pair of red eyes.
"Not yet, hold on a little longer, I need to find the best moment to attack."
Charlotte had no choice but to continue wrestling with Torrey.
The stalemate continued for a moment, and Charlotte gradually felt a little exhausted.
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, couldn't he directly share his vision with the witch?!
He realized that his previous battle had been misunderstood.
He has been fighting according to the ordinary Chosen Idea, but the profession of Demon Fallen, and the cooperation and linkage between the witch is the core way of playing.
So, he closed his eyes, concentrated his consciousness, and sure enough, he switched his mind to Elijah's vision, and his vision was easy to fight, and there were no more secrets in front of or behind the other party.
Finally, he guided Tori to a very advantageous position.
"It's now!"
Charlotte said loudly, and Ilya understood and released the mystery.
The scythe glowed crimson, and she lunged at Tori with a lunge, and the scythe began to dance in dizzying arcs.
The light of the judgment soon enveloped Tori.
