2. The Witch
[Try to take a few deep breaths and feel the operation of some 'network' that surrounds your body after the gas enters your body.] You've had experience, so it shouldn't be a problem. 】
[I...... I've had experience? No, how could that be, I'm just a normal ......]
If you don't believe my words, then you can wait for the fire to burn to your body--look, look, look!The firewood and grass pile below have been lit~Can you feel the heat rising? After a while, the tongue of fire will lick your feet~]
The girl was stunned, she didn't dare to look down at the moment, but she could also smell the choking smoky smell that was gradually rising—and as the voice that had mysteriously appeared in her head said, she could already clearly feel the rising temperature from below!
[I do it! I do it! Take a deep breath first......]
"Ahem, ahem, ahem—"
With her eyes closed, the bewildered girl took a deep breath as Angul instructed her...... Then she choked on the smoke and burst into tears.
"Are you stupid? Even if you do, you have to look at the occasion...... Forget it, if you continue like this, you're going to be burned to charcoals, so I'll do it - let go of your body and mind and leave it to me. 】
[How...... How to let go of ......]
[To put it simply, don't think about what to do, don't try to control your body, just like you're sleeping, let go of control over your body. Let's go first, if it's because you're wary of me. As a result, I can't control your body comfortably, and something happens in the end. But you're paying for it?].
After clarifying the stakes, Angul was able to gain temporary control of his body. Although because of her serious injuries now. You can't exert much power at all, but escaping from this annoying burning ground is not a problem...... Probably?
"Such a brutal and cruel punishment...... That's enough. ”
After gaining control of this body, Angul was immediately so smoked that he couldn't open his eyes, and the poisonous smoke in his trachea was already very uncomfortable, and before the fire scorched the body of the prisoner, the gradually rising temperature and smoke were already under the punishment—fear, and this emotion swept over the tortured like a tidal wave. Unlike a neat decapitation, the process of being burned at the stake will not be so short and easy.
The frightened screams, desperate whispers, and hateful curses of the tortured people kept coming from his ears, and Angul's mood became a little agitated.
"What do you want to do!? Give me ...... Mmmm
An executioner, armed with a torch who had just set another burn at the stake in flames, suddenly realized that something was wrong with the situation of the condemned prisoners on this side. Unlike other death row inmates who have fallen into despair, the ...... on the burnt stake here Girlish...... The expression also seems to be too calm, and. From her eyes, a chill could be read.
Just a glance, the slightest chill, let this executioner who had executed hundreds of condemned prisoners. I felt a chill down my spine, as if my bone marrow was frozen by this unknown "cold air"!
But he soon did not have to worry about frostbite - because the flames wrapped around the stake suddenly seemed to be a living thing. It rolled straight towards him closely, before he could react to what was happening. The tongue of fire dragged him into the flames, and he was tied to the burning stake.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa—!!!!"
His screams. The sound of a fryer-like when fat is ignited. Even those death row inmates who were enveloped by the fear of death were silenced. The first person present to actually scorch the flames was not the condemned prisoners, but the hideous-looking executioner?
"Hair ...... What's going on!?"
The sudden change made the entire burning ground "lively". The crowd of onlookers, who were still watching the play, exploded like boiling water, and even though no one had been harmed, they retreated in terror to the periphery like the most seriously injured and painful victims—and soon the wounded, who had been drowned in the crowd because of their missteps, were born one after another.
For these "teammates" who further intensified the scene, Angul is happy to give them a "boost".
So, in front of everyone, under the burn rack where she was, several tongues of fire rolled out again, and several other hideous-looking executioners on the stage were swept into the flames - this time, this process was seen by quite a few people, so the panic was unprecedentedly magnified, and the scene was directly out of control.
"Magic ...... Witch!"
In the sea of fire, Angul, who was smiling, looked extremely evil and charming, and he didn't know who could get up, in short, this shout was like a bombshell, which made the atmosphere boiling again.
"No, it's impossible! This place is obviously covered by the Forbidden Demon Realm, why can you still release magic...... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, !!!whoa,
【Forbidden Demon Domain?】
Angul looked up in some surprise and tried to feel the air...... There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the magic power, why are these people opening their mouths and closing their mouths to be some kind of "forbidden demon realm"?
"Witch, I don't know how you found a way to resist, but that's the end of it!"
“......”
Angul looked coldly at the figures who had been in charge of escorting the prisoners, drew his long sword with an inscription he had never seen before, and rushed towards him. With the act of shining their swords, the armor on the bodies of these people also glowed with a layer of bright light-it looked quite righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Die!"
The blazing sea of fire seemed to have no way to stop these people's footsteps, and under Angul's control, the high-temperature flames that had already burned those executioners to charcoal could not even get close to them. The layer of light attached to the armor served to block the flames. Knights with such a strong visual impact. Immediately gave the surrounding people a shot in the arm - yes, they have a heroic and invincible knight here. Surely you will be able to kill the wicked witch!
But in Angul's eyes, these "knights" are far less brilliant than in the eyes of others.
"I see...... The so-called 'forbidden demon' is actually such an evil technique......"
Angul already felt a rather familiar aura from that burst of light—hadn't she fought a monster with this power before she fell unconscious?
It's just that the destructive power at that time, here, was actually forcibly hidden from the tyrannical aura of destruction. But think about it the other way around, since the strength of the other side. It is of the same origin as the Holy Spirit, so it does not seem to be a very difficult thing to express it in a more righteous way.
It couldn't be easier to suppress with this kind of high-level power, and to hinder ordinary magicians from casting spells, even if these knights who wield this dangerous and evil power are nothing compared to the ancient evil, but with this "weapon", it is easy to bully those magicians who are not up to the mark - there is no need to really isolate all magic power at all. As long as the operation of the mage's magic power is suppressed, so that they cannot successfully perform magic, the so-called "forbidden magic" effect can also be achieved.
However, this means. I'm afraid it's useless for those archmages - I just don't know what happened to those archmages now. Angul didn't know what was going on in the world. But it's clear that something so aimed at magicians has been made. Or is there a guy behind it, presumably the mages are not having a good time.
"Yes...... Those archmages. It's really troublesome. ”
Although in terms of combat effectiveness, there is no difference between the spell-casting system and the warrior system when they reach their peak, but in terms of observing the abnormalities of the world and discovering disasters outside the sky, the sense of smell of the mages is obviously superior. Moreover, compared to the relatively independent and independent warrior powerhouses, mages are more likely to form groups, which is a big threat to those who have conspiracies.
Angul tried to cast a spell in a traditional way, and sure enough, in the process of transforming the magic resonance into substantial magic, it was interfered by external "noise", and Angul wanted to release a fireball, but the process was only halfway through, and the fireball exploded in her hand.
Although relying on the strength of mental power, such interference can be forcefully suppressed, and three times the strength can be used to do what can be done with the original strength, and this kind of consumption is not something that any magician can afford.
"She's an evil magician, a lackey of the old gods!"
"It doesn't matter! under the sword of our righteousness, there is no possibility of these evil techniques being unleashed...... But it's all a useless struggle!"
A knight slashed at a fiery serpent that swept towards him with disdain, in the past, he had seen many desperate evil mages, before dying, he sent out spells that could break through the effect of "forbidden demons", but as long as he cut off the blessed blade in his hand, he could easily break it! This experience he had repeated many times, and this time he could also cut this evil mage under the sword!
"I don't know...... It's scary. ”
Angul has never used magic at all except for rubbing a fireball just now, and her manipulation of those flames is directly controlled by the "superpower" of this body itself - or rather, it is a "spell-like ability"? This ability itself should only be suitable for manipulating souls, but Angul is also a void demon god after all, and it is easy to make a slight change and directly use this ability to control the elemental spirits in the atmosphere.
The fiery serpent was slashed in two by the blade...... Before the smile on the knight's face faded, the fiery snake that had been split into two in an instant, one left and one right, directly wrapped around the knight's body! The scorching heat immediately turned that layer of armor into an oven.
"Ahh
With a heart-rending scream, the stench of burnt meat slowly wafted into everyone's noses.
"It's so weak. ”
Angul made such an assessment unceremoniously.
"Swordsmanship is ordinary, the reaction is slow, and even in battle, he is so careless, and his fighting quality is not up to par at all...... How can you waste firewood take on such a title as 'knight'? Give red envelopes? Go through the back door? It's hard to imagine that the current 'knight' is so worthless......
Really bad.
Not to mention what they did, whether they could be regarded as "knights", just such a sparse and rotten martial arts, Angul really couldn't associate them with the name of "elite" in his memory.
If there is no weird equipment that can hang ordinary mages as sons, Angul is very skeptical, and it is estimated that it is also a question whether he can beat a high-level mage with a team of people. Could it be that those people with superb martial arts in this era have disappeared?
“...... Well, I'm suddenly a little curious - what are the selection criteria for you 'knights'?"
In the eyes of those knights who were shocked by the change in the situation, this dangerous and evil witch suddenly had a chilling smile on her face, and it was not unreasonable to call her a demonic smile. Their legs and stomachs trembled subconsciously, and they instinctively wanted to turn around and run away - but the question was, how could Angul give them this chance?
The "knight" who first showed signs of escaping was the first to be dragged back by Angul - there was no need to use any means at all, using the soul manipulation ability that the owner of this body was good at, Angul directly controlled the two evil spirits and tied the "knight" who escaped the fastest in front of him.
"You...... What are you going to do......
For the other party's such a cowardly performance, Angul couldn't help laughing: "Do you still need to ask? Of course, it's what a 'witch' should do~"
Under the horrified gaze of the others, Angul put one hand on the unfortunate man's forehead, and then his soul was pulled out in front of everyone—in this world, it was not difficult to see the form of a soul, which made Angul's behavior even more frightening.
Isn't the act of sucking out people's souls and acting recklessly is exactly what the legendary "evil mages" often do? It's just that this standard seems to be slightly different from the current "universal definition" -- the act of draining people's souls is obviously much more terrifying than the behavior of the "evil mages" that these knights used to crusade against.
"Lend your soul for a while. (To be continued......)
