Mystery: The Witch of Desire

“Seal item '2-105'? Give it to me, I can make better use of it.”

“Okay.” Klein handed the “Vascular Thief” to Leonard without any hesitation.

This was something he had originally planned to do.

Just then, Dunn Smith tugged at his collar, patted his black trench coat, and spoke with a firm tone:

“I’ll take Saint Selena’s ashes out first and replace Emily. You all wait ten seconds, remember, count to ten silently before coming out to fight. At that time, no matter whether my condition is good or bad, you can’t waste any time. Aim your most powerful attacks at Megas and the baby in her belly.”

After saying that, he turned around, carrying the urn, and walked upright to the partition.

"team leader……"

Klein called out, his lips dry.

"team leader."

Leonard also shouted in a low voice.

Dunn stopped, turned around, and said in a gentle, mellow voice:

"Don't worry about me, I'm not alone. Adelaide, Dawn, Little It... those Night Watchers who sacrificed themselves, they are fighting alongside me, no matter what dangers they face."

He paused for a moment, then looked kindly at Klein and Leonard with his grey eyes and said:

"Don't be nervous, we are protecting Tingen City."

His lips curled up, revealing a smile no different from his usual one.

After saying this, he didn't linger. He turned his gaze outside and walked firmly through the partition, only his black knee-length trench coat fluttering slightly behind him.

"team leader!"

Klein and Leonard both cried out at the same time, tears streaming down their faces, but Dunn showed no hesitation whatsoever.

We are a group of pitiful creatures constantly fighting against danger and madness, but we are also guardians.

Beep beep beep, the telegraph machine in the captain's office suddenly started moving, as if a new telegram was about to arrive.

But Klein and Leonard were completely oblivious; their eyes were red as they silently counted the ticking of the second hand.

"10."

"9."

"8."

……

At this moment, Dunn Smith entered the reception hall with a solemn expression, carrying a square box that looked like it was made of silver and resembled bone in his left hand.

Megose was tearing off handfuls of her blonde hair. She desperately tried to move her hands to her abdomen, but after being persuaded by Emily sitting opposite her, she put her hands back on her head, her nails scratching deep, bone-revealing bloody marks on her scalp and cheeks.

Dunn walked to Emily's side and said in a deep voice:

"Go down and go behind the partition to meet up with Klein and the others."

At this moment, as if provoked by something, Megius suddenly stood up, pointed at Dunn Smith, who was wearing a black trench coat, and screamed shrilly:

"You want to kill my child!"

"You want to kill my child!"

Bang! As the sharp, terrifying sound echoed, Klein felt as if he had been hit hard on the head with a hammer. He suddenly forgot to count and felt both headache and dizziness.

His vision was instantly stained crimson, and some liquid seemed to be flowing uncontrollably from his nose.

He glanced sideways instinctively and saw that Leonard Mitchell's eyes, nose, and mouth were covered in blood, his face was deathly pale, and his body was swaying as if he were about to fall.

I think I'm like that too... Klein abruptly pulled himself back from his thoughts, resumed counting silently from the breakpoint, and deliberately skipped two seconds:

"5."

"4."

……

In that shrill, terrifying voice, Dunn Smith's deep gray eyes were filled with blood vessels, each one clearly visible.

The veins on his face were bulging, each one like a venomous snake, and bright red blood was gushing out of his ears.

Just as he felt himself losing consciousness, he saw Emily beside him slowly stand up and put on a human-skin-like glove on her left hand. In an instant, the glove became transparent.

"Purify!"

She raised one hand and uttered obscure ancient Hermes words, and a pure and holy light emanated from above, enveloping Dunn Smith and Megos.

Dunn, whose consciousness was on the verge of collapse, quickly recovered from the dizziness. He didn't bother to investigate why Emily possessed such a powerful purification technique. His right hand paused for only a second before pressing down on Saint Selena's urn and opening the lid.

Inside was an extreme darkness, within which glittered grains of sand, creating a dreamlike beauty, like the night sky encased in a box.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and a deep darkness enveloped the entire reception hall, causing countless black, cold, and slippery wisps to rise in the air.

They surged toward Megas, enveloping her almost instantly.

These don't look like spider silk; they're more like the tentacles of some unknown creature!

Megose had already ripped her right eyeball out; the blood-stained ligature dangled from its socket. She glared at Dunn Smith and shouted:

You must die!

Bang! Megas's shout contained the law of words of power. Dunn was knocked down by an invisible force and flew backward, about to crash into the solid wall.

Suddenly, Emily raised her right hand, releasing several silk threads from her fingertips that grabbed Dunn's body. The tension of the silk balanced the backward momentum, gently placing Dunn on the ground.

The shock caused Dunn to cough up a mouthful of blood, but he still held Saint Selena's urn tightly in his hands, preventing it from falling to the ground.

He glanced at Emily in surprise, and then he noticed that Emily's face had contorted and transformed into an extremely alluring expression.

He had seen this face once before, when she impersonated Klein during the capture of Mrs. Sharon, and then suddenly appeared and killed all her companions!

A look of astonishment flashed in Dunn's eyes, and he seemed to understand something. He didn't care about the witch who was impersonating Emily, and continued to hold Saint Selena's urn, his heart filled with supreme piety.

At this moment, Liviel, whose body had been exposed, was extremely frustrated.

After receiving Klein's plea for help, she intended to appear immediately, rush to Klein's side, and discuss countermeasures with him.

But Arodes spoke up, reminding them that the entire city of Tingen was already under the control of a Level 0 sealed artifact. Due to its own status, it could not reveal the name or function of this Level 0 sealed artifact.

If anyone in Tingen City were to make a move against Megaus, or if they were to call in outside help, this Level 0 sealed artifact would also be aware of it; in order to keep it in the dark, Livre could not tell Klein, and could not let anyone in Tingen know about her actions.

So, without telling anyone, she walked directly through the mirror that Klein was carrying, using the audience's psychological suggestion to lead Emily to the bathroom, then disguised herself as Emily and sat opposite Megius.

However, to her surprise, the green-eyed night watchman, who was only Sequence 8, seemed to have noticed her disguise.

Whether it was because her disguise was exposed or because she had entered Tingen and also come under the control of that level 0 sealed artifact, Megos's condition deteriorated drastically, and she quickly became furious, as if the child in her womb was about to be born.

Her own status was instantly elevated to an extremely high level, at the cost of consuming her life force, due to the contamination of the evil god's offspring within her womb.

The words that came from her mouth turned into blasphemous pronouncements, and her skin secreted a blasphemous liquid. The black, cold threads formed from Saint Serena's ashes tightened, binding Megaius firmly in place, yet unable to cause her any harm.

Taking advantage of Megos's restraint, Liviel retracted the spider silk with her right hand, and a large amount of fierce frost condensed into a long spear. At the same time, the transparent glove on her left hand changed, switching to the audience's ability.

"Dragon's Might!"

With a majestic and awe-inspiring voice, the dragon spoke, and a long roar like a dragon's cry soared into the sky, then descended with tremendous force, directly piercing the top of Megalos's head.

Chapter 195 Dunn's Sacrifice

Megoss trembled, one leg was forced to bend and she almost knelt down, but her whole body still stood stubbornly, though she seemed to have a slight slackening.

At that moment, Liviel threw her spear, its tip burning with eerie black flames, and with a hiss, it pierced Megalos's abdomen. The pathogens hidden within the black flames rapidly spread, flooding Megalos's womb and frantically eroding the baby she was carrying.

Megoss let out a shrill scream, a scream like the wail of a wild beast, which pierced Liviel's eardrums. Blood gushed out from the hole, making her truly experience the feeling of bleeding from all seven orifices.

At the same time, the pathogens that had invaded Megos's body suddenly lost contact with Liviel, as if they had been wiped out by that filthy and evil power in an instant.

Behind the partition, Klein and Leonard could feel the intensity of the battle outside, but they continued to count silently according to their original plan.

The two locked eyes, bloodshot and filled with suppressed emotion.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Klein and Leonard simultaneously snatched the partition, one holding a warm, thin gold sheet, the other already wrapped the "Vein Thief" around his left wrist, spreading five fingers towards Megas.

Megos, who was almost no longer human, was struggling desperately. There were fleshy bulges on both shoulders, mixed with blood vessels and veins, round like a child's head.

Cracks are spreading rapidly on these two "heads," seemingly about to turn into eyes.

Suddenly sensing danger, Megos opened her mouth wide, stretching her lips all the way to her ears.

She will curse every enemy who wants to harm her child with "blasphemous words"!

Just then, Leonard suddenly clenched his left hand and rotated his wrist half a circle.

His pale face turned the color of his liver, and the veins on it became prominent, like tiny poisonous insects.

"..."

Megoss's blasphemous words caught in her throat and stopped abruptly.

Leonard seemed incredibly lucky to activate the Blood Vessel Thief, directly stealing Megalos's ability to speak blasphemously, stealing this already divine power. Megalos instantly lost her ability to speak, and her ability to curse others.

Klein seized the opportunity, spoke in a low voice, and uttered an ancient Hermes word:

"Light!"

He suddenly felt the thin gold sheet covered with mysterious patterns in his palm become scorching hot, and saw it emitting a dazzling light, as if it had transformed into a small sun.

Immediately afterwards, Klein poured most of his spiritual energy into the spell and threw a "Sunfire Talisman" at the imprisoned Megas!

The reception hall was suddenly bright, the darkness and gloom vanished at the same time, and the thin black threads that were wrapped around Megas abruptly retracted, as if instinctively avoiding something.

Liviel once again channeled her writhing hunger into the priestess of light, raising her palm high towards the roof, gathering a surge of purifying power, and connecting with the blazing sun hanging in the sky:

"I asked for light, and there was light!"

Boom! A large hole shattered in the ceiling of Blackthorn Security Company, penetrating the roof of the third floor and letting in the azure sky and the scorching sun.

The thin golden sheet merged with the sunlight above Megas's head, then expanded, illuminating a sphere of light in its original location, surrounded by countless spheres of flame.

Boom!

The entire building shook violently, and all the windows in the nearby streets shattered.

However, the power of the light sphere was concentrated at its core and did not dissipate much.

It enveloped Megas, its light so bright that Livia and the Night Watchers couldn't open their eyes.

Fighting back her tears, Livre squinted and looked around. The light had faded, but the flames were still raging, and among them, many black ashes were swirling and dancing.

Meg O'Shaughnessy and her unborn baby left no trace, just like the coffee table, water glass, newspapers, and sectional sofa in that area.

Solved? They eliminated the infant, suspected to be the offspring of an evil god, and his mother before he truly took shape and was born into the real world? Livre was still somewhat incredulous.

Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine; a spiritual warning told her that an extremely strong danger was about to befall her!

Without a second thought, Livre instantly connected her mind to all the mirrors on this layer.

Just then, an arm-length, exceptionally sharp white bone knife appeared out of nowhere, hovering in mid-air with an eerie beauty. Its speed was so fast, and its posture so difficult to dodge.

brush!

Klein, who was watching warily to one side, had his right chest split in two, his skin split in two, his flesh split in two, and his bones split in two!

The wound was so deep that his lungs were almost visible, and his two halves of body were connected only by tiny fragments of bone and flesh.

Am I going to die...?

Klein murmured weakly, when suddenly a cold light flashed on the mirror before his eyes, shattering everything. A figure with an arm that transformed into a white bone blade swiftly appeared, frantically slashing at the spider silk binding her. If it weren't for her protruding belly, probably no one would have recognized her as Megaius.

Klein himself remained standing perfectly intact.

Snapped!

A mirror behind the reception desk in the lobby shattered, and Livr's face paled slightly.

She has taken control of all the mirrors on this floor, and of all the illusions in this world.

Megas attacked Klein, but before she could succeed, Livre used an illusion to represent the impending outcome, successfully deceiving everyone, including Megas.

After the illusion shattered, Megas was already trapped in the spider webs, with cold black flames spreading upwards and scorching sun pouring down.

Megas's hair and clothes were burned to a crisp, her face and body were charred black and peeling off in pieces, her nose was melted away, leaving only two small black holes where it used to be, her eyeballs were nowhere to be found, and pale white flames were dancing in the hollows.
