Antique Shop Zero: Disfigured School Beauty Becomes a Succubus to Pay Off Debts

Chapter 390 The Witches' Harvest

Xia Kingdom, Lotus City.

The metal gate of the shelter slowly rose, the screeching sound particularly jarring amidst the ruins.

A sheriff was the first to lean out, gun pointed outwards, and warily scanned the surroundings.

The war is over. Avici Hell has been defeated, and the Xia Kingdom has won.

But the price of victory lay before him.

He stepped out of the shelter, looked at the devastated city, and a trace of sadness rose in his eyes.

Half of Liancheng has been reduced to ruins, with lingering smoke rising from the broken walls and rubble. In the distance, the sirens of fire trucks pierce the sky, one after another, like the city gasping for breath.

The sheriff took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "It's alright—the infrastructure of my Great Xia Kingdom is a hundred years ahead of the rest of the world."

"Once the state apparatus gets running again, it won't be long before this place is back to normal."

As he spoke, he began to believe it to some extent.

This isn't just a consolation; it's the truth.

In terms of civil engineering, no one dares to claim to be second to none.

More importantly, after this disaster, spiritual energy will be abundant in the Xia Kingdom, a fact that is now a certainty.

During the descent of the Avici Hell, mountains and seas of hellish spiritual energy surge into the human world;

Countless hellish creatures perished in the Xia Kingdom, their bodies transforming into the purest spiritual energy that seeped into the earth.

Now, a faint spiritual energy floats in the air of Xia Kingdom, and those with good talent can use it to embark on a legendary path.

The Institute of Anomalies has been pondering this matter for decades.

Even before the world had a single trace of spiritual energy, they were able to create spiritual artifacts based on the templates of forbidden objects;

Now that we have spiritual energy and living hellish creatures as research samples, it's only a matter of time before we find a way for ordinary people to cultivate spiritual power.

As the sheriff was about to patrol the streets, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly, accompanied by a low, muffled roar like thunder.

Large monsters roam the city ruins.

His expression changed drastically. He quickly hid behind a trash can, held his breath, and stared at the street in terror.

When he saw what it looked like, his eyes widened slowly, filled with disbelief.

Six monsters were seen crawling along.

They were covered in crimson, steel-like fur, with two ugly heads that turned back and forth. Their bodies were as large as mountains, with muscles bulging high, and the ground sank deeply with every step they took.

Two-headed ogre giant.

A terrifying hellish creature approaching the level of a true god.

Elite members of the ogre army, favorites of the greedy demon Mammon.

This sheriff had seen the monster from afar on the battlefield of Lotus City—he was "lucky" because almost everyone who saw it died, and he was one of the very few who survived.

He clearly remembered that a two-headed ogre giant emerged unscathed from the intense bombardment of combat drones and armored tanks, even stuffing the drones into its mouth like potato chips and crunching them up.

But at this moment, what shocked him was not the simultaneous appearance of these six enormous creatures in the ruins.

What shocked him was that all six two-headed ogre giants had thick chains hanging around their necks.

The other end of the chain was held in the hands of six women.

Six stunningly beautiful women, each with their own unique charm and alluring allure, led the six mountain-like monsters like dogs on a leash, walking gracefully through the ruined streets with cat-like steps.

The chains swayed lightly in their hands, as if they were actually leading several docile domestic dogs.

A dilapidated city is a stage for beauties.

The sheriff huddled behind a trash can, barely daring to breathe.

The six people and six beasts walked past on the street in just twenty seconds, but to him it felt like twenty years.

Finally, the footsteps and the roars of the beasts disappeared at the same time.

He cautiously peeked out; the street was deserted.

Everything that just happened seemed like an illusion.

The Witch's Guild's gains were far greater than they appeared on the surface.

Although they are women, most of them are quite flirtatious and seem like natural-born mistresses.

But they never forgot the vow they made after becoming witches—to use the power of evil to do redemption.

While the powerful figures of the Forbidden Society were directly confronting the Demon King and the gods, they took it upon themselves to cleanse the lower levels of hell of creatures.

Normally, these peak-level Earth-rank witches would be completely crushed when facing the two-headed ogre giant.

Even the strongest one, Jin Meiting, could only barely hold her own against one opponent.

But the "Grandmother's Book" in their hands contains a secret technique to subdue the creatures of hell.

After all, this was an exorcism technique created by King Solomon himself.

Even so, the six of them were almost completely defeated.

But at the most critical moment, the Gates of Hell suddenly collapsed, the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Severing Formation started operating again, and the condition of the six two-headed ogre giants deteriorated rapidly.

They took the opportunity to subdue them one by one using their grandmother's book.

After being enslaved by the Book of Grandmothers, these six giant beasts actually recovered their peak combat power and were completely unaffected by the Great Battle of Sealed Heaven and Earth.

. . .

At this moment, a menacing black metal vehicle is speeding along the ruined road.

This is also a hellish creation from the Demon Artifacts arc: the Hell Chariot.

The six witches sprawled out on their seats, completely abandoning the impressive demeanor they had displayed while leading the giant beast through the streets, and chattered away among themselves.

"I've discovered that my darling looks the coolest when he wields an axe."

"Hmm—my little darling would look so cute in that Barbie dress."

"A Barbie dress?"

"Ah, I'm all about the cute style."

From the driver's seat, Jin Meiting glanced at them: "You guys are lucky. You wiped out all six hellish creatures that had a chance to advance to the True God level."

The lustful witch, Xie Yujiao, gave her a charmingly coquettish glare: "What's wrong, are you jealous, eldest sister?"

Jin Meiting scoffed, "Am I jealous that your breasts aren't as big as mine, or that you're just a nobody?"

Xie Yujiao's face was full of displeasure, but she could only scoff.

The enraged witch Zhang Shiai's eyes were filled with admiration and regret: "Mr. Twilight is really too fierce—if he had stopped, he might have been able to leave one for Big Sister to contract."

Jin Meiting shook her head, a hint of seriousness on her face: "Have you ever considered that the spells in the Grandmother's Book are not meant for us to use?"

We haven't even unleashed its true power yet.

The other witches were stunned.

Especially Xie Yujiao, who loves to argue with Jin Meiting the most: "How can it not be for us?"

"Since I studied Grandmother's Book, I've become so much stronger, okay?"

Jin Meiting glanced at her: "That's because there are too many ordinary people."

We're only slightly stronger, and we already look quite intimidating.

She paused, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "But what if we use these spells on real hellish creatures?"

Use all the magic potions, magical artifacts, and exorcism spells on them —

She tapped the steering wheel lightly.

"Grandmother's Book has never been human magic."

It's a care manual for mythical creatures.

There was a moment of silence in the car.
