Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 353 The Birth of the Disaster Witch

Just like that, solved it?
Adele, who was hiding inside the subspace, had a feeling of unreality, and once again experienced the overwhelming gap between demigods and Beyonders below Sequence 5.

After patting Tracy, who was deliberately not looking at the mirror, to indicate that the matter was resolved, Adele returned to the real world.

The body of the lion-headed snake-bodied beast collapsed on the ground. The slippery scales on its body had been scorched by lightning, and the patterns on them could no longer be seen clearly.

Under the scales were sections of bones covered with pale yellowish yellow color. It had clearly just died, but judging by the color it looked as if it had been dead for many years.

The tubular bones were connected by keratin, and the muscles at the joints were still on fire, which Adele easily put out.

"I didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. It seems the tent was wasted."

Adele found a material bottle that had been cast with black magic in her backpack. This was a container that witches used to store biological materials. Although it looked only the size of a perfume bottle, its actual capacity was about one cubic meter. However, it could only be used to store one type of biological material and could not be used elsewhere.

Adele pulled out the blade of her hidden dagger and easily dug out a large piece from the exoskeleton that was cracked by lightning, revealing the muscle fibers inside that had been shattered by the shock wave.

Adele used the sword blade to dip a little blood and smeared it on the bottom of the material bottle, then poured spirituality into the bottle and aimed the bottle mouth at the hole that had been dug out.

Afterwards, the mixture of flesh and blood wrapped inside the exoskeleton seemed to be pulled by a powerful force and rushed into the bottle. However, in the end, only blood could enter the bottle, and the remaining flesh residue piled up in the dug-out holes like shriveled cotton wool.

"Okay, that's it."

Adele stood up and put away the material bottles, while Tracy waved her hand, pulled out the ground nails that fixed the tent with silk threads, and quickly folded up the tent. Then the two of them immediately used the silk threads to pull the trees tacitly, turned around and ran away swiftly.

After seeing the lion-headed snake-bodied beast with her own eyes just now, Adele immediately realized that it would be difficult to inflict effective damage with the pile of magical items on her body, and she had to ask Mr. "The Hanged Man" for help.

However, the noise caused by Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s skills was so huge that it was difficult to explain it with normal natural phenomena. If there really was a demigod in the city of Aleser, then he was probably on his way here now.

Sure enough, Adele and the others had just left the forest not far when the area where the corpse of the lion-headed snake-bodied beast was placed began to show obvious movement. The rustling sound of the branches and leaves shaking could be heard from thousands of meters away, as if all the dead things in the area had come alive and were telling something to the demigod who was approaching.

I'm really afraid of what will happen...

Adele sighed, and her mind was already quickly thinking of remedies.

It seemed that the opponent's demigod could make the flowers, plants and trees in the surrounding environment come alive and report to him what had happened in the area. He might not be the demigod with the strongest combat power, but he was definitely the most difficult demigod to deal with for Adele and the others.

Adele couldn't help but start to miss Miss Fors, the "magician" of the Tarot Club. The "traveler" had the ability to attack and defend, and even a demigod would never be able to catch up with her.

There is no point in thinking about these things now, first recognize the situation...

Adele made a rough estimate and found that it took the opponent about five minutes to reach the previous position from Aleser until the lightning struck. And if the opponent's goal was clear, it would only take at most...

"Two minutes."

Tracy seemed to sense what Adele was thinking and answered directly: "If he's heading in the right direction, he'll catch up with us in a minute."

"Hide and change direction."

Adele made a quick judgment, "He can't keep waking up the plants, and he's flying above the canopy of the rainforest, so it's hard for him to sense us."

The ones guarding here are either Jax or Zatwin. They have not reached the level of angels and cannot turn the puppet's ability to manipulate inanimate objects into passive, so they cannot withstand this kind of consumption.

Moreover, the first awakening of plants might have allowed the pursuers to determine the sequence and path of Adele and the other person. There was no need to keep activating the skill of awakening creatures, which was a spiritually taxing skill, for reconnaissance.

Finally, seeing the magnitude of the lightning strike, he probably didn't dare to pursue too deeply... After all, he didn't know how many more lightning strikes Adele could attract. If he really wasted his spiritual energy on reconnaissance, he would not be able to defeat Mr. "The Hanged Man" who might be hiding somewhere.

He is also afraid...

After realizing this, Adele immediately felt relieved.

Zatwin is now like a mine sweeper on the battlefield. The victory will be his if he finds Adele and the other person first. The longer he delays, the more dangerous he will be in his heart.

Then take a gamble and bet that the other party will not release the ability to awaken creatures above your head!

The bodies of Adele and the other person quickly became transparent. They were no longer pulled by the silk thread and fell directly to the ground, trying to eliminate their breath as much as possible and walked towards Zatwin.

When the two were about to meet Zatwin, Tracy took out her cloak and covered them both.

This time, Tracy simply did not use mirror magic to connect the inside and the outside, because the demigod of the Rose School was very sensitive to black magic, and peeking outside might give Zatwin an opportunity.

The two waited inside the cloak for nearly half a minute before carefully leaving the subspace, but they still did not lift their invisibility.

Zhatwin seemed to have gone far away, and the woods in the distance rustled, and the activated area seemed to be moving away.

Adele breathed a sigh of relief and was about to cancel her invisibility when she felt Tracy grab her wrist, as if to remind her.

Adele was stunned for a moment and did not immediately cancel her invisibility to save her spiritual energy.

And just as she was hesitating, a figure suddenly appeared in the forest in the distance.

He was wearing a black clergy robe and a black glove on his left palm. He had a thin face, brown skin, and sunken eyes like a mummy. His beard was black at the roots and white at the edges, extending from the sides of his mouth to the sides of his ears. However, they were not thick and were quite short, appearing dotted.

His eyes were a light brown color similar to his skin color. He had the temperament of a priest, but he looked cold and scary, as if he was becoming perverted in silence.

He is the demigod of the Rose School of Hedonism, Sequence 4 "Puppet" Zatwin!

This cunning demigod did not really leave. He deliberately expanded the scope of his reconnaissance in order to wait for Adele and the other person who had let their guard down. To this end, he did not hesitate to use awakened creatures to scout far away, while he personally checked nearby!
Cold sweat broke out on Adele's face and she stood there, not daring to move.

She had somewhat underestimated the appeal of herself and Tracy, the two witches, to the members of the Hedonistic Faction. It was almost enough to make Zatwin stay in the rain forest for a while longer, risking being ambushed by the Sea King!
However, Zatwin had to concentrate on activating plants far away and neglected his perception of nearby areas. Relying on vision alone, he really couldn't find Adele and the others for a while, but Adele and the others definitely couldn't retreat back to the space. They could only watch Zatwin walking around with a suspicious look on his face, trying to detect any movement around him with his own perception.

The few short seconds felt like several years to Adele. When she saw Zatwin walking towards her step by step, she felt like her heart was about to stop.

However, just when Zatwin was about fifty meters away from Adele and the others, the ground suddenly trembled strangely, and a thunderous sound came from the sea surface dozens of kilometers away. It was the sound of rock cracking, as if something was about to come out from the ground.

I didn't pray to Mr. Hanged Man, and this sound was different from thunder...

Adele was a little confused. She saw that Zatwin's expression suddenly paused, and then he looked into the distance in horror, as if he had sensed something terrible through the revived plants.

The next second, he jumped into the air without hesitation. His figure became transparent and turned directly into an invisible shadow. He turned around and fled without hesitation, even more decisive than Adele and the others when they saw him.

What happened?

Only after Zattwin really left did Adele move cautiously, climb up the tallest tree around, and look in the direction of the vibration.

After just one look, she was completely frightened by the scene before her and almost fell from the treetop.

The jungle in the distance had long disappeared, replaced by a conical volcano rising from the ground. Trees dozens of meters high were blown into the air by the mountain that rose from the ground. It was like someone had knocked over a pen holder and all the pens inside spilled out and fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Heavy snow fell from the sky without warning, causing the temperature in this tropical rainforest to drop sharply; the sea at the end of the sight became restless, as if it was gradually approaching here.

Tsunamis, blizzards, earthquakes...all kinds of disasters suddenly and spontaneously appeared in this area. Zatwin's figure looked like a kite with a broken string. After fluttering in the storm of disasters for a while, he was caught in it and even his spirit was torn to pieces.

"This... could it be?!"

Adele suddenly became excited, as if she understood what was happening here, and her eyes couldn't help but get hot.

"what happened?"

Tracy flashed to the treetop and saw the change in Adele's expression, and couldn't help but ask.

"If I'm not mistaken..." Adele wiped her face.

"Gagran... No, Mother is coming back, she succeeded!"

Just as Adele and the other person were talking, the ground beneath their feet shook with the strongest force in history. Pungent yellowish steam came out of the crater, and the sound of cracking rocks was deafening!
Then, accompanied by a huge earth-shaking roar, rocks flew and rolled, and the extremely hot magma erupted from the ground like ferocious fire dragons, devouring everything around it.

In the center of the volcano, Adele saw a shining human figure. Even though the distance between the two had long exceeded the effective field of vision, the other party's strong presence still made all creatures within dozens of miles aware of His presence at the first moment.

At the same time, heavy emotions directly filled her mind, making her subconsciously fear the existence that erupted from the volcano. This fear developed to the extreme and turned into a deformed worship.

This is the "Witch of Disaster"...

Adele found that her body became stiff, and then she looked at Tracy beside her with difficulty, and saw that her fingers were slowly turning gray, as if they were turning into something like marble.

Fortunately, she knew how to solve it. It was a name, and also a spell, a name that Gagran had repeatedly emphasized to be remembered.

Before her mind completely froze, Adele read out the words word by word with trembling lips:

"The new sprout of the tree of disaster, the symbol of destruction and rebirth, the lord of plague and natural disasters, the great Medea Gagran!"

Then, Adele vaguely sensed that the shining figure turned towards her, and the next second, he was standing in front of Adele and Tracy, and the petrification effect on the two was eliminated.

Compared to a month ago, there was no specific change in Gagran's appearance. However, in Adele's eyes, she looked even better than Catalina at that time. Not only did she possess all the beauty of a woman at all stages of her life, but she also gained indescribable majesty due to her soaring status.

He was holding something like a rag in his hand, and from the black gloves hanging on the ends of his drooping limbs, it could be seen that it was none other than the Rose School demigod who had just appeared, "Puppet" Zatwin!

"……Mother."

Adele swallowed and saluted to Gagran, saying, "It seems that you have succeeded."

"Yes."

A smile appeared on Geglan's face. "Besides, I feel that my humanity is surprisingly good."

"It sounds like a good thing." Adele relaxed a little and continued talking to Gagran.

“But there is a bad side too.”

The corners of Geglan's mouth rose exaggeratedly, revealing a somewhat neurotic smile.

"He is awakening more within me. You should... feel Him too, right?"

"You mean those dreams..." Adele suddenly realized that everything that had happened recently had an answer.

"Yes, as the rank of His believers increases, His influence on all believers will also increase."

Gagran nodded. She was still smiling, but in Adele's eyes, that smile had an inexplicable sadness.

"Maybe someday, I will become Him... So, you must not forget my honorable name."

(I still have exams tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but as agreed before, I will update once more in mid-June, which means starting from the 13th when I return from the exams. I will update twice a day. I will inform you of the specific update time in advance. I would like to apologize again for the chapters I added to make up the number last month.)
