Witch Redemption

"Death Shuttle!"

The supersonic boom was like a bolt from the blue, whipping up an unstoppable storm that broke through a distance of hundreds of meters, causing a devastating impact!

Lana ignored the shattered armor and flesh torn apart by the storm, instead grabbing the Libra Cross Greatsword from her back and charging towards the outer edge. "Too many! My skill usage is limited; a prolonged battle isn't advisable!"

These heavily armed men were very strong, and Lana felt immense pressure. She suspected that if she stayed any longer, she would only die.

The raised Libra Cross greatsword hastily parried the fatal blow.

"thorns!"

The dark red spear-axe, which had been used as a one-time use item, reappeared in Lana's left hand upon her summoning.

The "Slaughter Storm" reappeared, and this time, just as it cleared a whole open area, the "Rampage Assault" appeared again. Lana, who could almost shrink the distance to an inch, became a blur and suddenly rushed forward more than 30 meters, killing eight elite goblins like a gourd.

Using her professional skills to escape is Lana's usual tactic, and it never fails; killing monsters is just a side effect.

"We still have plenty of attempts left, there's still a chance to break through the encirclement!"

The news must be relayed to the other witches as soon as possible, or they will be doomed. Lana could clearly sense that the so-called Goblin Kingdom was no longer something that they, mere witches, could handle.

Nearly a kilometer away from Lana, Lolina, who had also entered the surface city, intended to meet up with Lana, but ended up losing her.

Out of desperation, an unexpected move led to a considerable uproar...

Chapter 100 Infection

The first level of the underground area of ​​the Mocheng Ruins, and one of the entrances to the northern area.

Peng Sheng, along with nearly a thousand junior guards, stood watch at the many key passages inside the entrance, diligently monitoring all the movements in the area.

As the kingdom's most basic combatant, Peng Sheng, like other junior guards, has always adhered to the duty of protecting the kingdom's sacred grounds. He is willing to give everything, even his life, for the kingdom.

"Peng Sheng, Captain Anma wants you to come over."

Suddenly, one of his accomplices approached him and made a hissing sound.

Peng Sheng then snapped out of his daze and said, "I'll be right there."

Just now, it recalled everything that happened yesterday, remembering the monster that went on a killing spree, a monster whose advance was unstoppable even by the Holy Blood Gun.

That monster was different from the invaders they had encountered before, and different from the demons that lived above the holy land. That monster had what Captain Nikolai had called "unwavering faith"—the faith to destroy their kingdom. This guy would never fall before achieving that goal.

"It seems even the minions of an evil god vary in strength. Such an overwhelmingly powerful evil entity requires the intervention of the Holy Land's guardians to subdue. What a pity, if it weren't for me..."

To become a guardian of the Holy Land, one must accept the power of the deity "Satoguya." However, not everyone can withstand this insane power; at least Peng Sheng could not, nor could the other junior guards around him.

They arrived at a slightly more open area, where a tall goblin stood before Peng Sheng. It wore simple breastplates and had a hideous scar on its forehead.

"You're one of Nikolai's men?" the captain, named "Ama," asked in a hoarse, hissing voice.

"Yes......"

Anma nodded, rummaged through the pile of bones beside her for a while, and took out a still intact head. "This is the remains of your former captain. He was the kingdom's greatest warrior, who fought for the kingdom even when night fell. Be proud of him!"

Peng Sheng clenched his hands tightly with a gloomy expression. For a moment, a strong anger surged from within him, but it quickly subsided. "I will send it back to Caroline's residence. I hope Captain Nikolai can rest in peace."

Death is the destiny of every kingdom's warrior, and no warrior will resist this destiny. They will only fight for their kingdom with everything they have in their limited lives! Behind them are their families, their brothers, and the royal family that has always maintained the barrier of this sacred land!

They must not retreat even a single step, even if there is endless darkness before them, even if they will perish in the darkness at any moment.

“Very good. The rest is up to the Holy Land guards. Elder Wesley has launched the final mobilization. We will follow the elder to pull off a big heist and make all the invaders who covet our Holy Land pay a bloody price!”

Anma patted the new member on the shoulder and then gestured for it to return to its new post.

Just then, a commotion arose ahead, and a goblin with a bloody, mangled wrist rushed over.

"Captain Anma, a small team that went missing yesterday has returned, but for some reason, they attacked us..."

After briefly explaining that dozens of his brothers had been bitten, the subordinate requested instructions from his captain.

"In the kingdom, it is an ironclad rule not to harm your teammates. Take the wounded brothers down to heal them, and take care of all those who have broken the rules."

After the rather irritating order, the commotion quickly subsided. However, no one expected that this was just the calm before the storm.

..................

With ten servants, the slime quietly sneaked into the ground-level city of the Mo City Ruins.

"That position, that position, and that position, the guys hiding down there are all very strong, we are no match for them."

The blue liquid on the slime trembled, emitting a frequency that only monsters could communicate with each other. Under its guidance, the trembling servants behind it began to calm down.

And they responded at the same frequency, "Then...what...do we do?"

The slime turned around, its mouth-only face seemingly glancing at the last hair-formed humanoid figure. "Your talent is suited for disguise and concealment. You keep watch for us, and if things go wrong, draw our attention."

"Put down your weapons and come with me inside. We need this method to take them down..."

The slime pressed its hands onto the ground, and suddenly, its liquid body spread out, turning into liquid and seeping into the cracks between the ground bricks, completely merging with the soil beneath.

This is because the slimes and their servants are all based on mimicry chaos, and the greatest ability of mimicry chaos is to blend into the environment and to make its bodily fluids transform into the same form by using the blood of its opponents.

Although slimes are all creations of Li Lan, they retain most of the original monsters' innate abilities, and some of these abilities are not shown in Li Lan's magic book, just like the instincts of creations.

At this moment, the slime is using this instinct to become a terrifying, invisible killer underground.

Like its nine servants, it allowed the bodily fluids that made it up to seep completely into the ground, then sought the best opportunity to assassinate.

Ten minutes later, the slime sensed an open area about five meters underground. In the area were six tall, fully armed humanoid figures, and next to them was a secret passage leading to an unknown destination.

"Strange, these aren't the goblins I encountered with the Lord yesterday, and they feel even more dangerous..."

A tiny, bluish drop of clear liquid, falling onto the soil, trembled almost imperceptibly. "Cover them, through the gaps in this armor, and then fill them completely..."

Twenty minutes later, the six black-armored humanoid figures who had been crouching there, seemingly waiting for something, suddenly clutched their helmets frantically, struggling as if they were suffocating, and even bumped into each other...

Two hours later, with a crisp "whoosh," a large amount of azure liquid emerged from the helmet of one of the humanoid armors. The liquid gradually merged into a humanoid shape, revealing a cherry-like mouth.

The other five beside them were also green liquid humanoids, but compared to the blue liquid humanoid, they seemed somewhat fearful, their legs and feet trembling slightly.

"Hesitation leads to defeat, as the Lord has told me."

The slime made a smug cooing sound, using Li Lan's unintentional soliloquy to teach these somewhat useless teammates.

"Hunting is that simple; surprise attacks are the key."

At this moment, the slime had a strange feeling that it had once been a person, no, it should be a monster? It always liked to lie in ambush in the shadows, and only when its prey was off guard would it suddenly reveal its fangs.

The fleeting, blurry impression quickly vanished, replaced by loyalty to the Creator.

The slime quickly pressed down on the armored humanoid on the ground and completely tore off the exquisite set of equipment.

But the dark green head had been completely deformed by the powerful compression, and a pair of huge reddish-yellow beast eyes stared silently at the sky. The beast's eyes, which were not closed in death, were full of doubt, but lacked fear.

This made the slime inexplicably uneasy. "These guys are dangerous! You need to act quickly and absorb their blood. By using their forms, you won't be so passive!"

The slime's body was rather special; it didn't need to transform into these goblins for the time being. So it quickly put on the black armor and even changed its body shape to fit the image.

On the other side, the slime that absorbed the blood of these corpses underwent a rapid and astonishing change in its physical appearance.

Beneath its dark green skin are super muscles stronger than an ox, with its abs and biceps outlined in striking and beautiful lines. However, its transformed crimson-yellow beast eyes, filled with timid fear, are a waste of this captivating body.

"Strange... I feel like something's not right."

The slime quickly dressed the servants in armor as well. It looked at the corpses on the ground with some curiosity. It was obvious that these guys also had the structure of goblins: blackish-green skin, limbs with snake-like scales, hooked noses, pointed ears, and reddish-yellow beast eyes.

But why does this guy seem several times more dangerous than the goblin we saw yesterday?

The slime quickly noticed that these guys all had bandage-like black cloth wrapped around their chests. Carefully tearing it open, it suddenly realized that there was a wildly writhing black tentacle wrapped around their entire heart, a horrifying sight.

"No wonder it took three hours of suffocation to kill this guy, something was definitely wrong!"

Just as the slime fell silent for a moment, the five armored humanoids and the other four green liquid humanoids behind it emitted a liquid trembling frequency, "So what do we do next?"

For liquid humanoids lacking intelligence, they are like marionettes; even if they possess considerable abilities, they cannot utilize them without relevant instructions.

"Go! This way, let's hunt goblins for our leader! The more the better!"

The extremely cautious slime, along with his nine subordinates, continued walking towards the underground passage to the side.

..................

Luo Lina stayed in the outer area of ​​the city above ground in the ruins of Mo City. Because she had used up all her "basic necromancy summoning" attempts without thinking when she met Li Lan in the morning, she had lost her confidence and dared not go any further.

"I've already released all the goblin zombies from 'Dominator' to see if they can help me gain some experience. I hope they don't attack Lana or any other witches later, or it will be a huge embarrassment."

While slacking off, she simply prayed, keeping an eye on the "survey" interface on the magic book and observing her surroundings. This state of neither advancing nor retreating allowed her to avoid being surrounded.

However, after two hours of slacking off, she noticed a change in the magic book.

"What's going on with this magic book experience?"

A massive increase, a truly massive increase!

Stacking up one hundred at a time, it was like having a cheat code. First, it rushed from level six to level seven, then it started rushing from level seven to level eight, and it didn't stop there, continuing to advance towards level nine.

"This...this was caused by those twelve goblin zombies? What on earth happened?"

Overwhelmed by a nameless fear, Lorina had no idea what these goblin zombies she had thrown out had done. Logically speaking, these guys were only level eleven at the beginning. Although they were faster and stronger than her, they shouldn't be so ridiculously strong.

She quickly flipped through the interface of the "Dominator" sub-profession, only to find that the information interface on the right had somehow added a list of one hundred goblin zombies, with four-digit serial numbers, indicating that the initial goblin zombies she had thrown out had long been eliminated.

"Wait a minute, where did this list come from?"

The Dominator is a special subclass of the Necromancer, possessing two subclass skills: "Transformation" and "Dominate," as well as "Requiem." "Transformation" can turn most intelligent life forms into mindless zombies; "Dominate" forcibly makes the transformed zombies obey the Necromancer's commands with absolute loyalty; "Requiem," in contrast to the previous two subclass skills, can directly send the dead to heaven, making it a special attack skill against spirits.

No matter how you look at it, it's impossible for these transformed zombies to use Lolina's secondary job skills to continue increasing their numbers.

"Zombies...zombies...could it be...?"

A chilling thought crept into Lolina's mind: there was a high probability that these zombies, like many novel settings she had read before, were contagious, and Lolina's unintentional act might create a terrifying scene of a "zombie siege" in the underground world.

Even though Lolina hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she still thought it was truly terrifying.

"That's incredible! That's just too powerful!"

As a homebody who transmigrated from Earth, Lolina had watched countless old movies, such as Resident Evil, 28+, and Dawn of the Dead. The similar situations depicted in those movies were almost unsolvable. If a similar situation were to occur in this world, it would undoubtedly be an extremely terrifying and massive crisis.

"A necromancer, paired with a secondary class like this..."

This was a skill only an evil witch could possess. For a moment, Lorina suddenly felt that her title of "witch" might be somewhat well-deserved.

"not good......"

Realizing that she should be reaching level nine, Lolina frantically recalled the hundred goblin zombies, then hurriedly returned to her personal information screen, praying that nothing else went wrong.
