Chapter 201: Promotion "Despair"
The potion entered her throat, and Angel immediately felt the coldness that spread from her pharynx to her stomach and then to the depths of her soul.
This is completely different from the scorching heat when she is promoted to the "Pain" Witch, and the licking of the external flames, which makes her feel the pain of her soul being frozen.
She could feel the long pale blonde hair behind her head knotted into finger-thick braids, fused into a strange shape with a smooth surface and a single eye at the end, like tentacles that only owned their own life.
With the help of these additional "eyes", Angel saw Klein, who was approaching step by step, with a serious face and a hint of horror in his eyes, and he also regained the appearance of "Gelman", wearing ill-fitting clothes and pants, holding "Grossell's Travels" in his hand, as if he was about to stand in the way at any moment.
She saw the headless messenger Renette Tinicol floating in the sky, who had just used her blonde head to help her block a blow, her eight red eyes looking at her, and her four beautiful but pale faces expressionless.
She saw the front end of the "Queen Anne's Revenge" that had broken away from the stranded state not far away, becoming translucent, gradually devouring the "redhead" whose deck had been destroyed and the mast was broken, and on the side of the ship, the black-haired and golden-eyed Anne looked at this side in a daze, her right hand was raised lightly, and the golden light between her palms continued to emerge.
They all care about me...... Angel felt a little relieved, and she began to look around at herself from this unique perspective, and was surprised to find that similar to the previous promotions, the surface of her skin once again appeared in various patterns like the colors of oil paintings, and her open eyes turned black, covering all pupils and whites of the eyes.
But unlike before, she sensed that this change was not "out of control", but the erosion of some special force, or rather, a blessing?
Angel suddenly discovers that there is an inexplicable connection between this power and the "calamity" that he has used many times.
The moment she realized this connection, she felt that her spirit, spirit, and even her body, which was no longer controllable, were all put into the blender at the same time, and she couldn't help but scream loudly.
“……”
The spirit didn't roar, and the flesh just stood still, keeping its skin covered in lines and its hair knotted into tentacles.
Only then did she notice that her spirit had once again left her body and floated above it.
The soul-tearing pain was fading away, and a whole new thought was reorganizing, and she looked down at the beach below, at the ravines created by the battle, at the sand melted by the magma, at the collapsing rock walls nearby, at the dying demigod Zatwin, at the calamity she had created.
Again...... On the verge of losing control?
Angel recovered slightly from the pain and immediately denied the possibility, realizing that it was a side effect of taking the "Despair" potion, and after several similar experiences, she had come to realize that the spirit remaining in the potion was trying to take possession of her body, squeezing her out of her original body with a cold divinity.
And what she has to do is to take back "herself" and return to her body!
Closing her eyes, Angel began to feel the different lines of sight around her.
Among them, the most eager, the most hateful, and the most desperate gaze came from Zatwin, the demigod of the "Rose School" who had just been shot through the heart by himself and was about to die, he had closed his eyes, and most of his disintegrated body had turned into ashes, but the despair from the depths of his soul still tightly bound Angel, making her spirit rise and leave her body The trend of leaving her body has slowed down significantly.
No, it's not enough......
Only half of the demigod's despair belonged to him, and the other half was given to Crane, Renette, Annie, and even the black giant hand who left in a hurry.
Angel thought of the other enemies who had died at his own hands.
The "King of the North" Yurisian, who died of the "betrayal" of his own head, the resentment and despair, although it was only a false reality in the book, also made Angel feel deeply.
The unsuccessful promotion and uncontrollable mutation of the "Night Watchman" senior deacon, Pierce Turner, he took the initiative to accept the "disaster" and obtained the long-awaited death, and the despair in the relief, although small, but also condensed his life.
The most important thing is the "truth" that "Adam" tells himself through his warm face and cold words, which makes him deny himself and plunge himself into a desperate "fantasy......
Me, is it really "me"?
Angel was puzzled for a moment.
This undeserved emotion immediately made her rise faster, and the sky seemed to appear as if a dim cloud had appeared, and a dark red, viscous blood-like light surged in between, which was speeding up to attract her.
However, there are other sights besides these despairs......
Angel looked down again, and the eight eyes that Renette examined, Anne's concerned golden eyes, and ......
Except for Zatwin, the most restraining and restraining power on her was actually from Klein's concern and worry about brown eyes.
The gaze of substance tightly bound Angel's spirit as it floated upward, gradually pulling her back to her body below.
It was the light that belonged to her alone in the midst of "despair".
……
Holding Groselle's Travels in his hands, Crane walked quickly behind Angel and stood less than five meters away.
If you go any further, I'm afraid you won't be able to guarantee safety...... He squinted his eyes at the thick pale golden tentacles behind Angel's head.
Every time the tentacle with its own life opened its eyes and looked at him with bloodshot eyes, Klein felt a wave of dizziness, his body stiffened, and his skin tightened and hardened.
And the number of eyeballs and tentacles frightened him, and he always felt that these free-moving things would burrow into his mouth, nose and ears in the next second, just like those horror movies he watched in his previous life......
From time to time, he covered his face with a hard book, blocking the line of sight, but he couldn't help but look in.
It wasn't until the tentacles turned back into soft long hair, and the skin on Angel's ears, neck, and wrists returned to whiteness, that Crane finally determined that she had successfully taken the potion, fit the ritual, and was promoted to Sequence 4.
The "Desperate" Witch from Sequence 4......
Even though the relationship between the two was extremely close, Klein couldn't help but look at Angel's back with awe, looking at this lover who joined the night watch with him, went to Beckland together, and came to the sea together, always accompanying him, always one step ahead of him.
Suddenly, the thin woman in front of her shook as if she was about to fall.
Klein immediately threw down "Grossell's Travels", reached forward, and helped Angel.
"I'm fine......"
Before he could help, Angel had come to her senses and stood still on the beach.
She looked around in some surprise, and finally looked at Crane, there seemed to be a trace of black in those purple eyes, which was the spirituality that had not yet converged after the promotion, and was still escaping.
Only then did Klein discover that Angel's appearance without the disguise of the "Faceling" had also changed a lot with the effect of the potion.
The bare skin of her face, neck, and hands was clear and fair, like that of a child who had never experienced any weather, and the neck above her shirt was slender and graceful, like the neck of a swan. The position of the facial features has not changed in the slightest, but at this moment, it seems to have been carefully carved again, and when combined, it exudes an indescribable charm. His eyes were as deep as a sea of purple, and the spiritual darkness slowly dissipated in them, replaced by an enchanting brilliance that drew Klein and made it impossible for him to take his eyes off.
Seemed to be a little embarrassed to be watched by him, Angel turned slightly sideways, and the light of the morning sun sprinkled on her face, making her whole person seem to be coated with a layer of faint golden light, which made her even more delicate and moving.
What surprised him the most was that Angel's height seemed to be a few centimeters shorter, which made her more suitable for herself.
If he hadn't seen her promoted, Crane would have even suspected that there was another witch in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Frowning slightly, Angel asked, "Let's leave quickly, I'm afraid the 'Sea King' will arrive soon." ”
This is the Angel I know well...... Crane chuckled and struggled to look away at the sky.
Renette above slowly floated down, and the four blonde heads spoke in turn:
"......", "Safe ......", "Remember ......", "10,000 ......"
was stunned for a moment, and the first head to open his mouth was the first to react and added:
"Gold ......"
After saying that, she disappeared directly in front of the eyes of the two.
10,000 gold coins......
The joy of the two of them defeating a powerful enemy and successfully advancing was immediately overwhelmed by heavy debts, and they quickly picked up the extraordinary properties that had just been precipitated, a strange scale, and the snatched "Wriggling Hunger" in the "Zat's Ash", which had been reduced to a handful of dust and not even a single bone remained, and then ran together towards the "Queen Anne's Revenge" by the sea.
Thunder roared in the distance, dark clouds rolled, and the "Sea King" was about to descend here.
————
While the "Queen Anne's Revenge" slowly sailed into the spirit world surrounded by green phosphorescence, a tall middle-aged man with dark blue hair fell from the dark clouds, just in time to witness the wood carving on the stern of the jet-black battleship burrow into the spirit world and disappear.
The timing was just right......
Cardinal of the Church of the Storm, Archbishop of the Rorsted Islands, and Senior Deacon of the "Substitute Punisher", "Aquaman" Ian "Aquaman" stands in the wind in mid-air, glaring downward.
But he was careful not to turn his anger on the area that still shimmered with phosphorescence, but only at the withered woods and meadows on the mountain, at the cliffs that had been bombarded by countless cannons, and at the stone wall that had only a small hole, but had collapsed inside, and was almost hollow.
With his eyes flashing with lightning and being able to monitor the area around Byam, he remembered all the participants in the battle.
The black giant hand of the power projected by a powerful being created a dead area in vain, and finally left with the demigod who apparently belonged to the "Rose School". This force was alien to Cottman, but he still quickly locked on a name in his mind:
The "Iniquity" S'ea, the leader of the "Rose School", an evil angel.
When Cottman slashed the black giant hand in the air, the strange spirit creatures that helped him attack the other party were also very powerful, but it seemed that his body and strength were not complete, so he fought with some of the power projected by the angel for a considerable time, and there was no victory.
The last battleship to join the fray...... Could it be the legendary "Ghost Empire"?
As soon as the idea came to Jahn Courtman's mind, he smiled self-deprecatingly and denied the possibility.
That's the size of a "ghost town".
But she, no, He still has angelic power, and full power...... Who is this "arbiter" angel who never appears in the internal materials of the Church of the Storm?
Deliberately slowing down and waiting for him to leave before "rushing" to the scene, Cottman was full of doubts.
He cast his gaze on the sea below the cliff, where a red sailboat had been stranded but now vanished.
Cottman didn't know the boat, but a bunch of sailors hiding in the inner compartment were clearly not qualified to take part in the fight, and the substitutes could be investigated later.
On a nearby beach, two mid-sequence Extraordinaires engage in a brief but deadly battle with another demigod of the Rose School, who dies in a destructive ray of light, and before he can be reduced to ashes, one of them takes a potion in front of him and completes his promotion.
As far as he knew, it was only if he was promoted to a demigod that he might need to utilize a demigod as a component of the ritual.
Even for a moment, he saw the woman who had been promoted to demigod.
The Extraordinary Person who intervened in the Bansey Harbor incident and was wanted by the Storm Church with a reward of 23,000 pounds, even if it was not a high order at the time, her information was eligible to be placed on the desk of "Aquaman".
"Angelica Thatch......"
Slowly, Courtman pronounced her name.
