So I became a witch

"...It's a blessing that you can say such a thing. However, this is impossible. I told you, I am the undead who died in this world, the hatred and unwillingness to gather together before dying Life and death are the biggest gap in the world, and it is naturally impossible for the living and the dead to understand each other," Steller said.

"It's understandable! Because I'm standing here!" Leila roared loudly, "Even if the dead, no matter how painful and desperate, even if they can't be redeemed, haven't we all lived before? As long as it is life, even if it is inevitable that death will come, you are still working hard, right? If this is the case, even the dead are the same! On the contrary, it is you who say something hateful, the death of the dead Spokesperson, you want to destroy the world, but in fact, didn’t you save many people! At least, the children of the Black Feather Sect were all saved because of you?”

"...Those are just to use them. If they are trained to be avengers, they will naturally be able to destroy the world faster. And they just cling to me in order to survive."

"That's not the case! Even I can understand that those children really love you."

"...shut up." Steller's calm voice has been shaken for the first time, "How many people do you think I have killed and stepped on to get to this point? Ah? I am the god of the dead, and I am also a living undead, so it is ridiculous to be admired by others."

"So, what about us? If it wasn't for you, Her Royal Highness and I would have already died on that ship. There were many other times, didn't you always save us?"

"...I said it all, it was just to use you."

"If that's the case, why are you shaking?" Leila's voice suddenly became softer, facing the black mist that could engulf the entire world, she took a step forward unswervingly.

"!!! Don't come here!!" Contrary to Leila's reaction, Steller subconsciously took a step back, and the black mist behind her formed countless tentacles, blocking her.However, even so, Leila did not stop.

"I said! Don't come here!" More tentacles attacked Layla, even with armor protection, but under such a thick black mist, it's hard to say what effect it can have.Facing the hit-and-kill attack, Leila didn't make any defenses or retreat, and moved closer to Steller little by little.

"Why don't you kill me? If it's your Excellency, it should be easy, right? But, why not do that?" Leila said pressingly.

"Are you here, underestimating me!" Countless tentacles grazed Leila's body, and just that left indelible black marks on her skin, and severe pain came from the wound, like It was like the whole person fell into a meat grinder, being cut by countless blades.

"Oh!" Leila staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Do you understand now? I won't kill you, I want you to witness the destruction of this world with your own eyes. This is the greatest punishment for you!...Huh?"

"Ah, I've got you." Leila, who fell forward, suddenly opened her arms, with a weak smile on her face.

The body was hugged.

Chapter 160 Betrayal

Even though they were still separated by clothes, there was an unbelievable temperature coming from the other side. Is this how it feels to hug someone else?

Warm, with a hint of joy, as if the hearts are also connected together with the contact.

Obviously, as long as the order is given, the black mist can immediately tear the female knight in front of him into pieces, but why didn't it do so?

In a daze, Steller remembered that his mother hugged him like this a long time ago.

The warmth and words at that time have already turned into the lost past.

Why, why would you forget about this?The former Steller, because of the great pain and unwillingness, bound all the dead souls in Stoke City to his body.

However, among those countless souls, the mother was the only one who could not be found.

Did it disappear?Or did they go somewhere else?

In order to be able to see her mother again, she embarked on an unknown journey.

However, no matter how much I tried to accept my soul, I couldn't find any trace of my mother.In this way, Steller's heart was gradually swallowed up by the huge and messy emotions, and he gradually forgot the memory that he once regarded as a treasure.

After all, how long has passed?No matter how much she shouted for help, only endless darkness responded to her.In this way, the existence named "Sterler" died.

"Please, just one time is enough. Please, please have a good conversation with Her Royal Highness, okay?" Leila let go of her arms and stretched out her right hand to Steller.

All the while, before his eyes, surrounded by darkness, once again, light appeared.

Steller stared blankly at Layla in front of her, her arms trembling slightly.As long as you hold on to it, can you be redeemed even yourself?Really, can this be done?

With confused emotions, Steller raised his hand slightly.

Please, please help me—

"God at the end, tell the end—"

The huge, incredible lightsaber cut the world in half, and Leila and Steller, who happened to be on the dividing line, were forced to be separated.

The ground under his feet sank, looking at Leila who was getting farther and farther away from him, but still stretched out his hands and yelled something, Steller's heart suddenly became calm.

The door of brilliance that flashed past was closed again.

Ah, as expected, it is absolutely impossible for only oneself to be saved.

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

After all, what happened?

Before Layla could react, her body was illuminated by a huge beam of light. Immediately after, Steller pushed herself away heavily, and the huge lightsaber that fell from the sky slashed towards the junction of the two, and a huge light suddenly appeared on the ground. Just like that, Steller and the ground under his feet fell into the bottomless abyss together.

Obviously, it was only a short distance away from catching her—Leyla felt annoyed in her heart, but, compared to this, what caught her attention more was the lightsaber that fell just now.

There is no doubt that it is the strongest magic called "light" that only the royal family can use.However, the current royal family is almost extinct, and only Xilia and Tina are left, and it is even more impossible to appear here. Then, who would it be——

“啊呀啊呀，我还以为是谁呢？这不是二公主殿下身旁的小**，骑士团副团长蕾拉吗？这么晚了，竟然还来到了这种地方，可是很危险的哦？ "

"You are... Duke Hoffman! Why did you appear in this kind of place?" With the help of the faint streetlight, Leila could clearly see the face of the visitor.With short brown hair, sharp eyes, a slender body and a handsome face that has not been eroded by time, there is no doubt that he is the largest nobleman under the royal family, the head of the Hoffman family, August Hoffmann himself.Behind him were several people in black clothes, who seemed to be his guards.

Leila calculated the combat power of both sides in her heart.Although she had never seen the Duke make a move, as a nobleman in the kingdom, her magical ability was of course top-notch, and since the followers around her could be selected by the Duke as guards, they naturally couldn't be weaker.There is no doubt that meeting the Duke himself here is the worst case scenario, but it is also the best case scenario.As long as the duke, who is almost the mastermind, can be controlled, there will be a chance for Her Royal Highness the princess to counterattack.

"This is really interesting. This is the jurisdiction of the king's city. Why can't I come?" The Duke smiled slightly. The rebels of the dead royal family chatted happily, what is the situation... Just kidding, since I am standing here, you must have some guesses in your heart, right?"

"Could it be that you are here for Steller too?" Layla's brain was spinning rapidly.

"The answer is correct. However, I didn't expect that she would be shaken because of you. If this continues, it will be bad. Therefore, I have to use some small means to temporarily separate you."

"What a trick...how did you find this place?" Layla was full of doubts. Without the guidance of the badge, even she who had been in and out of the slums several times would not be able to find the correct route. Hall How did the Duke of Furman discover them, and how did he happen to jump out at this critical moment?

"It looks like I'm wondering, but this kind of obvious thing, just think about it, right?" Hoffman said with a smile.

Knowing that he was going to sneak into the royal city, originally, only he, Lily and Tina should know about it, not even His Highness the Princess.Under such circumstances, it would be inconceivable to say that their whereabouts were exposed.Unless, someone has tipped off.Tina who didn't follow and provided a route can be excluded from the range, so, that is to say...

"...Lily, could it be you?" Leila said in disbelief.

Lily, who was knocked down before, had regained her sobriety at some point, and even when the two of them were talking, she kept silent and stood aside.

"Is it really you, Lily? Please, please answer me!"

No matter what, Leila couldn't believe that the longest-serving headmaid, Lily, who had been by Her Royal Highness's side all the time, could be a spy or something... Even if she said it herself, it would be too absurd up.

what is the problem?

(There will be more updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This volume is expected to be completed this month. Please ask for a monthly ticket for support. Thank you everyone~)

Chapter 160 Three

"... Already, that's enough." Lily said silently, as if trying to avoid Leila's gaze, she lowered her head and said to Duke Hoffman, "I have brought you to that place as agreed. Is it enough to be around people?"

"Well, you did a great job. Thanks to you, the cunning wolf cub was finally caught." Duke Hoffman said with a smile, "I have worked hard for you for so many years."

"What do you mean by that? It's as if, from the beginning, Lily was your subordinate. Now, answer me, Lily!" Leila's face twitched a little, and she looked at Holf Duke Mann looked at the silent Lily again.

"Ahhh, didn't that child tell you?" Duke Hoffman continued with a disgusting smile, "It's no wonder, after all, everyone has a past that they don't want to be known, are you right? Lily ? Ah, by the way, is it better to call you 1074?"

When Lily heard the number, her body trembled visibly, and a look of fear appeared on her face.

"That's right, that's the way it is. It's just a manufactured product. After living with humans for several years, do you mistakenly think that you are also a human being? Really, it's ridiculous. Objects should look like objects, garbage." Augersig raised the corners of his mouth ferociously, and approached Lily, who had lost her resistance, step by step.

"That's it." Leila stood between the two, pointing the tip of her sword at Augsig in front of her, "I won't allow you to take a step closer to her."

Facing the sword blade against his neck, Augsig stopped, but there was no fear on his face, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this really okay? That guy, he betrayed you and you Dear Princess, have you done a lot of bad things in private? For example, sneaking into the royal city and modifying documents; or leaking the map and defense routes of the royal city to someone; or, quietly, killing Messenger who came to ask for help."

"!!! Lily, you, what on earth..."

"……"no answer.As if confessing to Augsger's statement, Lily remained silent.

"Now you understand, the crime that guy committed is much more serious than you imagined? Even so, do you want to continue to protect her?"

"Shut up! This is the last warning, leave Lily's side, otherwise, I will execute you immediately!" Leila did not waver at all, and the hand holding the hilt began to transmit magic power to the blade.

"This is really... Is it really okay to cover criminals even though you are a knight of the kingdom?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about. For me, Lily is my friend, and you are Her Royal Highness's enemy, that's enough." Leila held the sword in her forehand, and slashed diagonally at high speed. to the man in front of him.Although they both use magic power, the knights in the kingdom learn more about how to use magic power to strengthen themselves, while magicians pay more attention to manipulating powerful magic, and their own quality is even lower than ordinary people, so if you keep a distance, It is the advantage of the magician, but once it is touched, it will be an overwhelming victory for the knight.And even among all the knights, Layla's strength is the top among them. With the ability of a magician, it is absolutely impossible to avoid this sword within a distance of less than one meter.Of course, Leila didn't intend to kill him. The power she deliberately controlled would only make him incapacitated. Although there were many things she wanted to ask him, it was time to escort him back to the princess.

"Sure enough, the minds of the knights are full of rotten wood." Augsig sighed, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from Leila's eyes.

"What...!" Layla's eyes widened. She was sure that the other party had absolutely no time to activate the magic just now, but he still disappeared. What is it...

Before she came back to her senses, Leila's eyes suddenly blurred, and then, the world turned upside down.

No, it wasn't the world that was turned upside down, but herself.

Leila fell heavily to the ground, and her good training made her roll up from the ground immediately, opening the distance from the opponent.At some point, Augsig came up behind her, easily knocked her over, and walked towards the motionless Lily step by step.

A chill rose from Leila's back. Although Augsig's attack did not cause any substantial damage to her, her vigilance had already reached its maximum.She snapped and asked: "The move just now should be the technique 'Ye Hui' that the original King Rockefeller would use, right? But, that technique should have disappeared long ago, and I only wrote it in the book I’ve seen it, plus the ‘light magic’ that only the royal family can use that was revealed just now... who are you? Who are you?!”

Leila stared at Augsig's back, as if trying to see everything about him.

"...Isn't it smart to claim to be a fool? I am indeed Duke Hoffman, there is no doubt about it. However, this is just one of the identities I created for the convenience of activities. The original Hoffman was nothing more than a little-known little family without a title. If it wasn't for my help, how could it have developed into a great noble family second only to the royal family in a few decades? Well." Augersig slowly turned his head and smiled happily.

He even said that he supported the Hoffman family with one hand, and that he had started activities decades ago. The real identity of this man... Leila suddenly had a guess, but because that guess was too scary, she was rejected. She subconsciously rejected it.

But...if that's really true...everything, it would make sense.

"... Enough is enough." During this silence, Lily suddenly spoke, and she whispered, "This man is right, I was just an artificial human created by him from the beginning, 1074, that number , which is my serial number."

"This kind of thing..."

Augsig happily interrupted their conversation: "It is possible. A hundred years ago, Amos, the last pope of the Moi religion, once secretly carried out a plan called 'Project α'. He Using his deceased wife, Fredelia, as a template, he created many cloned girls named 'Doctor', and then used them as a springboard to decide to implement 'euthanasia for all human beings'."

"!!!"

"Of course, this plan was destroyed by the witch in the end. The witch disappeared, and Amos also deeply felt his sin. Since then, he has completely disappeared from the world. All research projects including this plan have also been destroyed. Until several Ten years ago, I stumbled upon some of the wreckage of this project to continue the research of the 'alpha project', but well, the first step alone suffered a lot of setbacks. Almost all clones were born They died shortly thereafter, and the only successful subjects were two, 1074 and 1169."

Chapter 160 The Cruel Truth

"Is it because of the body? Or is it because of other factors? Although the experiment was conducted under the guise of studying the possibility of engraving a magic circle on the human body, the failure rate is still too high. If it continues, maybe even my identity will be exposed. So I gave up this experiment, but ah, it would be a pity to directly execute the surviving body like this. So, I Such an order was issued to them. 'Let's kill each other, and the one that survives by luck will get the qualification to survive'."

"Why, do you want to do this?"

"Huh? Of course it's for fun." Augsig smiled brightly, seemingly completely unaware of the cruel words he said, "After all, it's just an item, so it doesn't matter even if it's broken? Victory in the end The one who came down was 1074, but what's interesting is that she didn't obey my order to kill 1169, but let her go on purpose. I didn't expect that mere man-made human would have something similar to personality, which is really surprising. .So I spared their lives on purpose, but the price is that she, as my pawn, sneaked into the side of the unattractive second princess. It was just a random thing, but I didn't expect this guy to accidentally It’s easy to use, thanks to her, my plan can be carried out so easily.”

"You actually said it was a plan...!"

"Ah, that's right. It doesn't matter whether you destroy the Stoke family, or keep the child on purpose, and let her think that the tragedy behind the Stoke family was deliberately done by the royal family, and guide her step by step to become Whether it's the avengers, or even lure the guards away, let her kill the royal family to take revenge, all of them are my plan." Augsig said straightforwardly.

"!!!!!!!!!" The indescribable shock spread in Leila's heart, "You actually said...you did it all?!!"

"Yeah, that's it. I also secretly set up the underground facilities for the nobles to indulge in killing, and I proposed to the royal family to use sacrifices to slow down the erosion of the 'black tide'... Pooh Haha! It's just a little manipulating the false data, those idiots really believe it! 'For all the people, this is the helpless sacrifice'. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh What kind of despair is that expression? Well, it’s a pity, but let’s put entertainment behind the real business.”

"why……"

"Ok?"

"Why, you can do such a cruel thing with a smile on your face! Be it Steller, Xilia, or many other people, they obviously should have a better life... However, all of this is because of you being destroyed! You, devil!" Driven by unprecedented anger, Layla injected all the magic power beyond the ordinary into the sword of Ayer, and the sword body extended several meters of magic power. And covered Layla's whole body, both the reaction speed and strength were greatly improved, and Layla, who only left an afterimage on the spot, rushed towards Augsig quickly.

"That's right, that's it, be angry, growl, and want to kill me with hatred!" Augsig laughed, easily dodging Layla's attack at a faster speed, no matter how Layla attacked , but can only cut his afterimage.There was clearly no sign of magic power entangled in his body, but he completely blocked Layla's attack with his bare hands. This incredible power that surpassed human beings deepened a certain guess in Layla's heart.

"ALIA FIRE!" The sudden huge fireball caused Augsig's dodge to make a slight mistake. It was Lily, who had been kneeling silently on the ground, but for some reason launched an attack on Augsig.Grasping this gap, Leila swung the blade without hesitation, leaving long wounds on Augersig's body, and blood gushed out like a spring.No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to bear the full blow of the magic sword with his body... It should be like this.

In an instant, Augsig flashed to the open space a little far away from the two of them. He silently looked at the deep wound on his body, which was almost fatal to ordinary people, and sighed slightly, as if at all. He said as if he didn't notice the pain: "I underestimated you a little bit, but I didn't expect that you would actually dare to do something to me, Lily."

"...I just did what I thought was right." Lily panted heavily. Although her body was still trembling slightly, she seemed to be afraid of that man, but she still forcibly maintained the operation of her magic power. , can continue to attack at any time.

"Hmph, forget it, is it just a little bitch after all... Forget it, I'm tired of continuing to play with you, at the last moment, let's be a little more serious." Augsig snorted coldly , Then, as if time was flowing backwards, the splashed blood was sucked back into his body, and the wound cut by the magic sword healed completely in an instant, without even leaving a trace.Instead, one of the attendants he brought, who had been motionless from the beginning, suddenly fell to the ground without warning, completely losing any sign of life.

"Be careful! That guy has..." Lily was interrupted by August's attack before she could finish her sentence.Leila also rushed forward, but the blade was easily supported by the opponent with one hand, and the other hand hit Leila's abdomen hard at a speed that she could hardly react.

The battle was completely decided in less than a minute. Leila and Lily's attacks did not pose any threat to Augsig at all. There is still a lingering rhyme, the gap between the two and him is as huge as a baby and an adult, no matter how hard the baby tries to attack the adult, in the eyes of the adult, it is just a ridiculous fist waving.

"Well, that's the end of it. It's time to say goodbye, two lovely little guys."

"... Huha." Leila spat out a lump of blood on her chest, and stared at Augsig, "Finally, through the previous battle, I have completely confirmed your identity. Whether it is the magic of light, In the past, there was only one person who achieved such a feat...that is, the legendary king who founded the Rockefeller Kingdom, Rockefeller...that is, you."

Chapter 160 Ceremony

Silence enveloped the surroundings, and no one made a sound.After a long time, Augsig smiled: "Congratulations, you got the answer right. It's not a fake or a clone, it's exactly as you guessed, there is no doubt that I am Rockefeller, who you call me The one who is the 'King of Heroes'."

The speculation was confirmed, but the turmoil in Leila's heart was not less than before. She suppressed the confusion and anger in her heart, and looked at Augsig in disbelief. No, or it should be said that it was Rockefeller: " Why, do such a thing? If you are really the legendary hero, shouldn’t this be the country you created and loved so much! Why, did you do such a cruel thing! "

"Ah, do you want to start from there?" Rockefeller showed a slightly bored expression, scratched his eyebrows, and said listlessly, "Well, there is still a lot of time anyway, so it's okay to tell you. I The motive for creating this country has never been as noble as you imagined, it is just that you want to fulfill the agreement with that person."

"That person... promised..."

"Well, that is, the person you call a witch. I have always been deeply infatuated with her."

About the story of the witch and the king, as long as a child who grew up in this city, it is impossible for anyone not to know, and Leila is no exception.A witch who lost her memory meets a young king.They lived together with each other and encouraged each other all the time.In the end, the witch regained her memory, but in order to save the world, she resolutely sacrificed herself.And the king, who got power from the witch and the god, replaced the disappearing witch, repelled countless monsters, and established an immortal dynasty on the wasteland.

"But, the reality is not as beautiful as the legends. From the beginning to the end, it was just that I was obsessed with that person's figure alone. I kept trying to catch up with her back, but I couldn't reach it. Just when I thought When I was about to give up, she responded to my call for help and appeared in front of me. Appearing and disappearing on her own, she is really a helpless and willful witch But ah, I am infatuated with this kind of her, no, it should be said, it is love." Rockefeller said with a light smile, a trace of loneliness crossed his eyes, and he suddenly seemed to change back to There used to be that boy who fell in love with someone in a normal way before he became a king.
