Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 371 Different Witch of Pain

"The lava spider strengthens the ability of the source witch to use silk threads. Not only can it use physical silk threads, but it can also make some of the silk threads spiritual."

Gagran flipped her wrist, and five thin white threads stretched out from her hand.

"I strengthened my use of black magic at that time, but now that I have been promoted to an angel, I can still simulate similar usage."

As he spoke, Gagran flicked his wrist and threw the threads towards Adele's body.

Adele subconsciously tried to dodge, but the threads suddenly turned in the air and landed on Adele's arm.

Then, instead of spreading upwards to bind her arms as Adele often did, the threads sank directly into Adele's arms.

"What is this for..." Adele was wondering, when she saw Gaglan's fingers gently pull, and Adele's arm was suddenly pulled forward, causing her to stagger.

"Is this possible?" Adele exclaimed in amazement, trying to resist the pull of the other party's silk thread.

However, the moment she pulled hard on the invisible threads, a sharp pain suddenly came from her arm. Adele felt as if her arm was placed under a huge sewing machine and pierced more than ten times. The pain was so severe that she almost cried out and quickly stopped what she was doing.

"These threads can directly materialize, pass through the bodies of enemies that have no similar resistance, and then materialize again inside, thereby achieving the effect of manipulation."

Gagran took back the silk thread and explained to Adele who was rubbing her arm, "But this kind of control is not like the spirit thread of the Secret Puppet Master. Once the control is completed, there is no room for resistance. As long as the opponent is not afraid of pain, these silk threads will not cause substantial damage to the enemy."

Adele looked at her arms. Her skin was still smooth and white, with no obvious signs of subcutaneous bleeding. What Geglan said was true.

"Puppet Master? What is that?"

Adele lowered her sleeves to cover her arms and asked Gagran curiously.

"Sequence 5 of the Fortune Teller Path has the ability to manipulate true 'spiritual threads'. In comparison, the witch's ability can only be called 'spiritualized threads'."

Geglan explained patiently, "Through a period of secret manipulation, they can transform others into their own puppets. There are almost no signs in the early stages of the transformation. Only after the initial manipulation is completed will the target find that his or her thoughts have suddenly become slow. If the manipulation of the other party cannot be interrupted within five minutes, the target will completely become a puppet that cannot resist."

"Moreover, this kind of manipulation is fatal. Once the manipulation is complete, even if the puppet master later removes the spiritual thread, the person being manipulated will have already died. To some extent, this is one of the most powerful abilities below demigod."

At this point, Gagran's tone was a little annoyed. "This path is mainly controlled by the Church of the Goddess of Evernight and the Secret Order of Intis, and the latter has a very bad relationship with us because their secret puppet masters always like to choose witches from the Witch Cult or the 'Wrathful Spirits' of the Rose School when choosing secret puppets."

Adele laughed dryly. The original intention of the Witch Cult to intervene in the slave business was actually to be able to rescue the witches who were captured and enslaved more conveniently after monopolizing the slave trade.

In the Fourth Epoch, when the mystery had not yet diminished, witches were the most captured Beyonders. As for the reason... it was definitely not just because witches' abilities were convenient.

For the Puppet Master who has the ability to manipulate puppets, the Witch and the Ghost are indeed very convenient choices: the Ghost can be transformed into a Ghost and carried around, while the Witch can reach the Puppet Master directly through mirror teleportation.

After all, the Wraith is of Sequence Five, the same level as the Puppet Master. Its own Wraith Screams and Wraith Possession can cause fatal disruptions to the Puppet Master's control, making it very difficult for the Puppet Master to control it, and he may even be beaten up in return.

Therefore, the relationship between the Secret Order and the Witch Cult is quite bad. As early as when Adele and Gagran parted in Backlund, Gagran told her that if she encountered a Beyonder from the Secret Order, she didn't need to ask about their identity and could just kill them. The church would reimburse all the magical items she spent.

"Okay, let's get back to the witch's abilities."

Gegran quickly adjusted his mood and continued to introduce to Adele, "Once you master it, you can use these threads to reach directly into the spirit world, hook objects in the spirit world, and pull your body to achieve a similar effect to flying;"

"In battle, these threads can only control the opponent's limbs. As long as the threads are hung, the intervention effect can be achieved immediately. Although the precision of the operation cannot be compared with that of the Secret Puppet Master, and it can only control the movement of his limbs and cannot allow him to release extraordinary abilities, it is more convenient and quick."

"Of course, there are more direct uses, such as this."

Gegran picked up an inconspicuous-looking wood sculpture on the table and summoned a small piece of silk thread. He first weaved the silk thread into a spirit state, which easily penetrated the wood sculpture. Then, with a flip of his wrist, the thread inside the wood sculpture suddenly turned back into a hard entity, cutting the wood sculpture into pieces from the inside out.

"Besides that, there is also a common ability of pain witches - spreading disease. In this aspect, it is no different from ordinary pain witches. You can just ask Tracy and let her teach you."

Geglan waved his hand, not wanting to waste time on these things.

"The next step is the promotion ceremony. You have tried to use the ceremony to advance once before, but that ceremony is very different from the ceremony for advancing to Sequence 5."

"Sequence 5 is a threshold. After crossing this threshold, you will become a demigod. From here on, you will need a ritual to neutralize the effects of the potion. Even the Source Faction's special ability cannot completely solve the changes here. It still needs to be neutralized according to the established ritual."

Gagran reached out and tapped the table lightly. "During the promotion process, your body will gradually decay due to the power of the disease. You will need the blood of the lion-headed snake-body beast and the burning ice produced in northern Feysac."

"Freeze your body with low-temperature ice to prevent it from being eroded by the plague. Then, rely on the stored joy to wake yourself up naturally. Use black fire to ignite the ice. The blood and plague of the lion-headed snake-body beast will be burned by the black fire first. This way, you can ensure that your body will not be destroyed by the promotion."

"Once you have completed all of this, you will be a true Source Materialist 'Witch of Pain'."

After finishing speaking, Gagran looked at Adele who was listening attentively with a smile on her face.

"So...would you like to find a chance to go back to Indo Port first?"
