Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 426: Hidden Sage

The "Full Moon Witch" Reinara is the new leader of the Witch Cult who was recently transferred to the Fessac region. After Katarina and Gagran lost contact one after another, the Witch Cult had no choice but to accept this fact and sent a new leader to the Fessac region to deal with the extraordinary events that have frequently occurred in the sensitive area of ​​Indo Port recently.

——There was no other way. Adele, the nominal head of the Gnosis Society here, had been out of contact for the past few months. The Witch Cult could only send new members to closely monitor Feysac's movements.

After all, Feysac's recent behavior was too suspicious. Not only did he give in to the Queen Island Company, which represented Loen's power, but he also used the excuse of internal rectification to turn a blind eye to the massive purchase of hunter path extraordinary characteristics in the country. This was completely different from his previous arbitrary and overbearing way of doing things, which only allowed the existence of the Church of the God of War in the country.

The extraordinary characteristics that the Einhorn family lost in the war had long been secretly obtained by the Witch Cult, so even if the Conqueror characteristics traded from the Loen royal family were obtained by Medici with the help of Amon, the Witch Cult was not in a hurry. However, the relationship between the Witch Cult and Feysac also dropped to a freezing point, and they had no intention of investing heavily in the Feysac region.

However, the Witch Cult did not expect that the Red Angel was so crazy that he dared to try to forcibly impact Sequence Zero even with the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence One that was forcibly combined by uniqueness!
Is this guy really not afraid of losing control? !

Although the Witch Cult was reluctant to believe this fact, in the regular communications transmitted back from Indo Port, both Adele and Vinata, who later took over this position temporarily, clearly pointed out that the Red Angel did so.

For this reason, the Witch Cult had to send the third demigod in charge of this area, the Full Moon Witch Lena, to investigate the matter and ask her to stop any mysterious events related to the Red Priest in time.

Lena decided to work on the Red Priest's anchor. After some analysis, she judged that the main reason why the Feysac royal family supported the Red Angel was that they needed a new true god to control the situation. Therefore, the Red Angel's anchor was very likely distributed among the ordinary people here.

However, after some investigation, Lena discovered that the Red Angel's anchor did not seem to be in Indor Harbor, and she did not find any traces of the worship of the Red Priest, so she had to focus her investigation back on the remaining priests of the Church of the God of War.

Finally, she finally got the chance. When all the armed forces of Indo Port were busy resisting foreign enemies, she found that the priests here were trying to release the seals in this area. This immediately reminded her of the possible cooperation between Feysac and the Red Angel, so she immediately decided to show up and get rid of the priests in this area.

Of course, it was not Reinara's fault for having such an extreme reaction. She did so entirely because of the news she received from the top leaders of the Witch Cult last night:

The Supreme Commander of the Sonia Sea Fleet of the Feysac Empire, Sequence 2 "Weather Warlock" Ahomatowa Einhorn, was found to have committed suicide by shooting himself in his room, and his Beyonder Characteristics were nowhere to be found!
The Sequence 2 angel committed suicide by swallowing a gun, and the Beyonder characteristic was nowhere to be found. This news was obviously an excuse to the outside world. Anyway, Lena didn't know what kind of gun could kill a Sequence 2 angel, unless it was something made by the God of Steam and Machinery himself, and this possibility had almost never appeared in her mind.

After receiving this message, Lena suddenly understood that this must be part of the deal between the Feysac Empire and the Red Angel. They were not playing tricks on Medici, but were really willing to sacrifice a Sequence 2 prince who was not highly respected in his own country but was extremely powerful!
Renara is only a Sequence 4 "Witch of Despair", but the Witch Sect has successively lost "Nightingale of Despair" Panatia, God's Descent Vessel Trisschik, "Immortal Witch" Gagran, and "White Saint" Katarina. These are four high-level strongmen who are equivalent to the senior deacons of the Night Watchers, and there are only more than ten such high-level people in the Orthodox Church!

Even though the Witch Cult could theoretically recruit middle-level personnel like Tracy and Adele to fill the vacancies at any time, it would take time to train them. In this regard, unofficial organizations do not have the luxury of the Orthodox Church, which has too many monks and too little porridge.

Therefore, as long as she can successfully solve these problems and there will be no more brilliant people like Gagran among the new generation of members, she can climb higher in the witch sect based on her qualifications alone, and even be like Catalina in the past, second only to the Pope who is called the Princess, and the original witch at the top of the sequence.

To sum up, Lena was very cautious in her actions. Even though these priests were not even above Sequence Seven, she still hid herself first and waited until she was sure that the other party was really going to make a big move before she stepped out to kill and silence them.

"After solving these problems, there should be no problem next time, right?"

Lena looked at the corpses on the ground that had been corroded by the plague and had lost their human form. In less than two minutes, they would turn into blood under the influence of the plague aura.

Renara is a veteran witch of despair. The types of plagues she controls are different from those of the nightingale of despair Panatia. Her physical effects are stronger, and she will form a mist around her body like a faint moonlight. This is also the origin of her name, but because of this, her concealment is much worse.

Although she said so, she did not let her guard down. She raised her hand and spread a large amount of moonlight, covering the entire interior of the church in bright moonlight, allowing all living things that might exist inside to rot and die in the hazy miasma like the moonlight.

"Yes, there is really nothing for you to do now."

At this moment, a hoarse male voice, like nails scratching on a blackboard, came from behind Lenara, causing the Full Moon Witch's hair to stand on end.

"who?"

There was almost no need for any reaction. While Lenara subconsciously asked the other party about his origins in a harsh voice, a long ice spear quickly condensed in her hand and threw it in the direction where the voice came from.

However, the ice spear shattered instantly. It was not shattered by something, but it seemed to be directly cracked by someone from the field of mysticism, so that it collapsed from the inside out.

The man walking behind her was wearing a black fedora and a brass bird-beak mask that covered his entire face. He had no arms, but instead two black wings stretching outward.

Seeing Lenara's reaction, the man used one of his wings to lightly take off the black soft hat on his head, pressed it to his chest, and performed a not-so-standard hat-dodging salute.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am. I am the first pillar of the Morse Ascetic Order. You can call me 'Atheist'."

……

The Moss Ascetic Order - this was an organization that Reinara knew in advance. From the appearance of the Shadow General, she judged that behind all this, the Iron-Blooded Cross, the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the Feysac Royal Family were indispensable. In addition to these, another important driving force was the "Moss Ascetic Order."

Even the witch sect does not have a full understanding of this mysterious organization. It is only known that their highest rulers are ten strong men called "Pillars". According to the evil knowledge recorded in ancient texts, they are named Nakaiba (materialism), Lilith (instability), Adramelech (greed), Baal (lust), Beffinger (ugliness), Asmodeus (cruelty), Astaroth (indifference), Roffko (rejection), Beelzebub (stupidity), Satan (atheism), and the "Queen of Stars" is also one of them.

However, apart from these, the other members of this organization are very well behaved, and even the pillars almost never take action, making it difficult to tell how strong this organization is.

But today, when Lenara really had the opportunity to test the true quality of this self-proclaimed "atheist" guy, she discovered in despair that the person in front of her was not someone she could deal with at all, and was at least a Sequence 2 existence!

"What on earth happened here that requires a strong man of your level to be dispatched?"

Lenara murmured subconsciously.

"I'm not the only one."

Unexpectedly, "Atheism" did not immediately eliminate Reinara, but explained to Reinara with a blank expression: "Just now, another angel appeared. This is why I need someone to act as a discarded child."

"Sacrificed pawn... you mean, Limanu King?"

"That's right." Atheism nodded. "His code name in the Moss Ascetic Order is 'materialism', and this is also his weakness: he pursues material enjoyment and honor, and his pursuit of knowledge is not pure enough. Such a person cannot enter the Kingdom of God, and can only become the abandoned child that he hates."

"You all named yourselves after your own weaknesses?... Never mind. You are unlikely to answer this question anyway."

Lenara asked without much hope, not expecting any explanation from the "atheist" who was still her enemy.

"That's right. Just like me, I don't believe there is a 'Hidden Sage' above me, so I was named 'Atheism'."

Unexpectedly, "atheism" actually answered this rather private question, which surprised Renata and made her feel even more sad:
When your enemy talks to you about information that he should never tell you, it is not because he has a change of heart or something, but because at that time, he has already thought about and prepared to kill you, and he has already won!
Taking a deep breath, Lenara, who didn't want to wait for death, began to accumulate strength in secret, ready to attack "Atheism" at any time and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

"Atheism" seems to have something very important to do in Indo Port, so as long as he escapes from the corresponding range, he should not come directly to hunt down Lena!
"Why, why do you not believe in the existence of the Hidden Sage when you are a senior member of the Moss Ascetic Order?"

Lena asked, her mind tense, ready to release the plague she had prepared the moment the other party answered, and to run away at full speed.

"..."

This question seemed to stump "Atheism". He thought carefully for a long time, rubbing his forehead with a headache. Just when Lena was about to be unable to bear this depressing atmosphere and was about to flee, he suddenly said with sudden enlightenment:

"I know, because, because if the Hidden Sage really exists..."

At this moment, the attack that Raynara had been brewing for a long time suddenly broke out. A white halo in the shape of a full moon spread out with Raynara as the center, and in a blink of an eye, it swept in "Atheism" who was standing in place without dodging.

At this time, Lena's strongest attack as the Witch of Despair was the product of breaking free from the restrictions on the types of witch abilities and integrating all extraordinary effects into the bright moonlight. Even Katarina could not learn this ability.

As long as this attack can delay "Atheism" for just half a second, Lenara will have enough time to activate the secret technique and make her body appear at the position of the "Moonlight Doll" that has been arranged long ago, and thus escape!

However, just as Lenar was about to simulate her own "moonlight" movement method, the second half of the word "atheism" suddenly rang in her mind, and the other party's black-robed figure gradually became illusory.

In Lenara's mind, the body of "atheism" suddenly swelled up, as if what was supporting the black robe underneath was not flesh and blood, but illusory and complex knowledge.

Those strange runes and the heavy knowledge that seemed like substance propped up the clothes rack of atheism. The robe rustled and had vein-like patterns on it.

"…If there is another hidden sage besides me, then I would not be able to appear."

"Atheism" he whispered softly, but every word he said seemed to tighten the noose around Lenara's neck.

In Lenara's mind, complex and illusory symbols condensed in the eyes of "atheism". A large amount of useless and complicated knowledge poured directly into her mind, instantly occupying her original plan.

The attack she launched with all her might shattered like a wave hitting a reef the moment it touched the shroud-like black robe, and turned into illusory foam.

boom!
Lenara's beautiful face exploded like a smashed watermelon. The knowledge that was endowed with substantial power directly burst her head. She didn't even have the thought of using a stand. She died in front of "atheism" without any resistance.

No, we shouldn't call him "atheist" now, because now "He" has completely turned into a black ball with countless eyes, and the body wrapped in black cloth and bird-beak mask is supported by countless illusory black tentacles.

Now, He is already equivalent to half of the "Hidden Sage"!
