Steadfast Wizard: From Heart-Swapping Rat to Dimensional Demon God

Chapter 84 Immortality? Terrifying Time Magic! (3000 words, second update)

As she spoke, to everyone's astonishment, Angel stood up from her wheelchair, holding the magic book in her hands!

A white dress swayed gently in the night breeze; at first glance, she looked like a pure and innocent fairy, standing serenely on the street, as if her entire soul had found solace.

My foot!

How was she able to stand up?!

Apart from the three summoned familiars, the hearts of the other three felt as cold and piercing as if they had fallen into an icy abyss!

Because the information given by the eldest princess clearly stated that Angel's legs were crippled! The grimoire was sealed!

Aside from controlling evil spirits, he knows no other magic!

But now, damn it, the very first piece of intelligence was wrong!

The other two...

Thinking of this, the three gripped their longswords tighter, feeling a sense of tension. They had never felt the night wind so cold and biting as they did now…

"Gurgle~"

Hearing the sounds of the three knights swallowing, Angel smiled slightly: "What? Aren't you going to make a move?"

"His Highness Philo's orders to you couldn't be as simple as just blocking me off, could they?"

After speaking, seeing that the three of them still did not move, Angel shook her head gently, then took long strides, her fair calves faintly visible under her long skirt, and began to slowly walk towards Isaac.

Seeing this, the three knights became somewhat anxious, but still dared not make any rash moves. The information given by the eldest princess could now be considered completely invalid, and Angel could now be regarded as a true witch!

When it comes to hunting witches, you can never be too careful!

Fortunately, they didn't have to do it themselves, because before they came, the eldest princess had told them that Ange was cursed by an evil spirit, and anyone who hurt her would be devoured by the evil spirit that followed her!

That's why they specifically sent these three to summon familiars; familiars, after all, are for selling.

Therefore, with a slight wave of his right hand, the familiar behind him confidently nocked a bow, aimed, and released it in one smooth motion!

As a seasoned and skilled archer, he truly had no idea what his master was so afraid of.

She was just a witch; he killed just as many people during his lifetime!

Ha~ just a witch!

Who is he?

The strongest archer in the Kingdom of Satoru a thousand years ago!

The witch will win!

As the arrow was fired, the three knights stared intently at Angel, wanting to see what gave her the confidence to do so!

Then--·

puff!

To the astonishment of the three, the arrow struck Angel between the eyebrows, piercing her head!

White and red liquids flew everywhere!

"Pfft~"

Angel's body fell backward abruptly, crimson blood raining down, staining her pristine white dress with specks of blood...

"Damn it!!!"

"puff!"

Before the three knights could react, a gray energy appeared beneath the feet of the familiar who had made the move, instantly transforming into a winged, demon-like evil spirit that bit off the familiar's upper body!

However, even though they only realized it belatedly, the three knights were not afraid, because all of this was already within the princess's expectations!

"Just a mere familiar, exchanging a familiar for a witch's life, what a bargain—"

Turning their gaze away, the three were about to step forward to retrieve the body when they suddenly widened their eyes in shock as they stared at the street!

Because Angel was standing perfectly fine on the street!

There wasn't a single scar between her eyebrows, and even her white dress was spotless!

But...—they clearly just saw——and the familiar that made the move—...

The three knights' gazes shifted back and forth between Angel and the 2.5 familiar; the more they looked, the more horrified they became.

The curse has been activated, so how come... nothing's wrong?

Despite the shock of the three knights, Angel didn't say anything more, but simply walked slowly toward Isaac with a smile on her face.

"You! Kill again!" The leading knight looked at Angel, who was strolling leisurely down the street below, gritted his teeth, suppressed his fear, and ordered another familiar.

Upon hearing this, the familiar did not act, not out of fear. They were merely summoned familiars, and their so-called death was simply a return to the genie's lamp dimension. However, the knight who gave the order was not its master, even though they appeared to be acting together.

"Go."

Upon receiving the order, the familiar drew its longsword from its waist, and in a flash, appeared in front of Angel. Then, with a flash of light, the longsword slashed from Angel's right shoulder to her left waist!

Cut it in two!

The spurting blood stained the white dress crimson!

Looking at the pitiful girl lying in a pool of blood, the swordsman's familiar felt no emotion whatsoever. It had done similar things far too many times before, and it had not forgotten that the familiar had just killed this girl before being killed by the suddenly appearing evil spirit!

So, the instant it killed Angel, it immediately retreated, warily surveying its surroundings. Previously, it hadn't expected the opponent's methods to be so bizarre; now, being on guard, it was certain it wouldn't suffer a repeat.

"Pfft~"

With a snapping sound, the swordsman's familiar's legs collapsed to the ground.

Even more bizarrely, Angel was standing unharmed on the street once again!

Her white dress remained spotless!

It was so white.

However, compared to the previous time when they were completely baffled, this time the three people and the familiar saw it clearly. After the swordsman familiar was devoured by the evil spirit that appeared in the void, Angel, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. During this process, all the blood that had spilled out of her body flowed back into her body, and her wounds were completely healed!

But to be honest, even though they saw it, they had no way of dealing with this bizarre scene.

Forget about solutions, they can't even understand!

If Isaac were to see this classic scene, he would definitely recognize it at a glance—this is the legendary time reversal!

However, how could this group of brutes have such knowledge? Even the last swordsman familiar, who had the most extensive knowledge, had never seen such a scene before. After all, it was only a first-tier familiar and had only participated in first-tier magic lamp trials. How could a first-tier wizard or witch use time magic?

Oh no, there might be witches like Angel, but they are extremely rare, and it has never encountered one.

Therefore, this seemed very strange to them, and the worst part was that even though it was so strange, they had to bite the bullet and go for it!

Because this was an order from the eldest princess, we had to obey.

Otherwise, they won't have a good time when they go back. They might even become materials for the eldest princess to sacrifice to the outer gods!

So after taking a deep breath, the three of them looked at each other. The situation was now very clear: they had to fight it out!

No matter how bizarre this spell may be, some principles in this world are universal—spells always involve costs!

With sufficient resources, you can achieve victory!

No matter how many lives you have, just kill them all!

However, there is one thing to be especially careful about with Angel: after killing Angel, you must be careful of the evil spirit that will follow!

However, after the first two observations, they also roughly understood some of the drawbacks of the evil spirit's backlash—the pre-cast animation was too long!

In other words, as long as you maintain high-speed movement, there is a very high probability of avoiding the backlash from evil spirits!

Whether this plan will work or not depends on this last familiar.

The three of them looked at the last familiar. The swordsman familiar was silent for a moment, then drew its sword, leaped lightly, and landed in front of Angel. It slowly drew the long sword from its waist. Without any communication, it understood what the three wanted it to do. This was the fate of most familiars.

After all, it shouldn't be impossible for it not to see such a simple vulnerability, but...

Can this really work?

The swordsman familiar, with an abundance of experience with death, sensed a strong aura of death emanating from Angel.

But who cares? It's just going to try anyway. As the familiar of the genie lamp, it won't really die. If anyone's going to die, it'll be those three guys above. So let it enjoy this thrilling life-or-death trial!

"call out!"

The swordsman's familiar bowed slightly, and then disappeared completely!

Almost the instant it disappeared, Angel's head flew high into the air with a smile on her face!

At the same time, the headless body sprayed out a large amount of blood and then collapsed!

"roar!"

The evil spirit struggled to emerge from the void. Although it appeared quickly enough, it failed to kill the swordsman's familiar because the swordsman's familiar was constantly moving at high speed!

"roar!"

After letting out a roar of resentment, the evil spirit gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, the three people on the roof exchanged glances and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Now, there was hope!

Without hesitation, the three drew their longswords and flashed to Angel, who had just recovered. Three sword lights flashed, and Angel was cut into four pieces and scattered on the ground!

Immediately afterwards, the three of them began to move rapidly around Angel to avoid the backlash from the evil spirit!

"roar!--!"

"puff!"

"!"

"puff!"

And so, time slipped by with each of Angel's resurrections, and soon, the three's excitement slowly turned into fear...

As time passed, Angel's resurrection speed remained unchanged, still as stable and rapid as ever. Although the evil spirit still roared loudly when it disappeared, its tone had changed, from initial anger to mockery...

Because their strength was running out.

And this was only a little over a minute later!

That minute or so felt incredibly long to the three of them!

Besides the fact that killing Angel more than sixty times in a row had left them physically and mentally exhausted, the fatigue from moving at high speed for a long time was also unbearable for them!

Especially when they were preparing to adopt a relay tactic, that is, to kill one and then rest three to take advantage of the time difference of the evil spirit's backlash and recover more stamina, the swordsman familiar who was resting was directly swallowed up by the evil spirit that suddenly appeared!

This sent a very bad signal to the three of them—the mark of the evil spirit might be permanent.

They might only be able to remove the mark of the evil spirit if they completely kill Angel!

Of course, it's possible that the problem can never be solved, but we can't let them die in vain, can we?

But now it seems they died in vain—

"Crunch! Gulp~" A series of chewing and swallowing sounds suddenly rang out, and the evil spirit that had suddenly appeared grinned at the two people who were moving at high speed, "Hehehe~ Two left!"
