Chapter 465 Death and Disaster
Azik also looked at the two of them with gentle eyes, waiting for their response.
This encouraging attitude infected Angel, making her no longer afraid when facing the Sequence 3 witch.
"I'm here to look for the Death God documents in the hands of Vice Admiral Hurricane Qilingos. I heard they fell into Tracy's hands. Also..."
Angel looked at Klein beside him and forced a sarcastic smile.
"I want her to give up trying to capture Elaine."
At that moment, she almost thought that Tracy was going to ignore the pressure from the two High-Sequence Beyonders present and attack her directly, because the other party's face had flushed red, her fists were clenched, and even the wound on her right shoulder that had stopped bleeding began to bleed again, dripping along her arm and fingers to the ground.
But she finally managed to shift her gaze away from Angel... and Klein, glancing at her mother Katarina, and uttering a few incoherent words.
"impossible."
Ignoring her impotent rage, Angel turned his gaze to the final decision maker, the "ageless" witch Catalina Pelle, who always had a charming smile on her face, and her blue eyes flashed with unknown emotions.
"I won't help her in this matter, but neither can you."
She responded in a soft, nonchalant tone, looking at the silent Azik.
This means that Tracy can only rely on her own strength to find Elaine. Since she has little chance of defeating Angel alone, she can only dream of "taking back" the red-haired lady who has been haunting her.
Angel received the "pain" he needed from the pirate general's desperate look, and his body absorbed a lot of the potion, which had been digested slowly again.
Of course, Katarina also issued a threat: this matter would only stop between the "juniors". If Azik intervened with the power of a High-Sequence Beyonder, she would do the same. Perhaps in a head-on battle, "Immortal" was not sure of defeating the "Death Archon" who had lost his memory, but it might only take a few seconds to eliminate two Mid-Sequence Beyonders in a sneak attack.
"That is, they won't be harmed."
Azik looked calm but answered firmly.
"As expected, you are no longer the 'Archon' who commanded the Death God's army and fought against the gods in the Northern Continent. This makes me feel a little... regretful."
With a sigh, a hint of sadness appeared on Katarina's face. Her girlish features and holy temperament set off this emotion, which even affected Angel a little. He felt sorry for Azik's different way of dealing with people from his previous life.
No, this is the witch's ability... She is instigating us, making us fear him, trying to sow discord?
Suddenly alert, Angel looked at Azik and found that he was calm and smiling, not affected at all, so he felt relieved.
"As for the documents on the Death God, they've been submitted to the sect's headquarters. I remember what they contained. They were the Balam Empire's various attempts to resurrect the Death God after his fall. Sadly, all of them failed. In the last hundred years, they've begun experimenting with creating 'artificial Death Gods'... If you're interested, I can try to obtain them."
Artificial...Death?
If Angel hadn't been concentrating on looking at Catalina, he would have thought he had misheard.
The God of Death is a real god, not a false god like the "God of the Sea" Kalvetuva who is probably not even at the level of an angel. Can such a being be "artificially created"?
Azik seemed to be lost in thought. He was silent for a moment before continuing to ask:
"What price do I need to pay?" He paused, looked at Angel and Klein, and continued, "Except giving up protecting them."
"It doesn't cost anything, because, it suddenly occurred to me..." Katarina smiled brightly, as if she were fourteen or fifteen again. "If this could help you regain your memory and transform you back into the 'Archon of Death' who drove the 'Pale Scourge', that would be really fun. Besides, by then, maybe you wouldn't care about them at all, or anything in this life."
Even though he knew that the other party was instigating and provoking, Angel could not help but recall everything he had heard about the "Pale Age" in the internal documents of the church and the stories written at sea, and recalled the extremely tragic and deadly war described in the books.
Mr. Azik, this man who always thinks of us and has a soft heart, this man who rushed here as soon as he received the call for help, did he really play a key role in this?
She was lost in thought when she suddenly felt a warm touch on her left hand. She looked down and saw Klein, who had recovered from the Rose Necklace treatment, gently holding her hand. Elaine's emerald green eyes looked at her, filled with comfort and encouragement.
Don't worry, we will help him.
Inexplicably, Angel felt her worries subside. She exerted a little force and shook hands with the other person again. Then she looked up at Catalina, but accidentally met Tracy's eyes, which were almost emitting tangible flames.
If I stay here for one night and pull out the sheep of "Lieutenant General of Disease" a little more, maybe I can digest all the potions... Angel thought embarrassedly, and suddenly realized that he might also digest a lot of "pain potions" because of this experience. After all, Katarina had specifically reminded him just now that "it will help you grow and overcome the obstacles on the road to promotion"...
Wait, Elaine once said that a woman taught her how to escape from the Black Death. Could it be Tracy's mother, Katarina, who was worried that her daughter would become obsessed with Elaine, so she planned her escape and gave Tracy a "painful" performance?
Watching Azik casually summon the paper and pen on the desk, write down his messenger summoning spell and hand it to Katarina, and looking at Tracy, whose face was as pale as death behind the immortal witch, Angel couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
Sensing her gaze, Tracy looked at her with lifeless eyes, then looked at Klein. A hint of spirit returned to her eyes, and she spoke hesitantly:
"Elaine, I...you, have you ever loved me? Why did you help her?!"
She spoke faster and faster, and her expression became excited.
After much thought, Tracy believed that she was defeated by the infiltrated "pain" witch, most likely because the other party knew her fighting style and prepared powerful magical items to counter her protective diamond bracelet, and even... even transformed into her appearance without any flaws!
Could this pirate general have read too many romance novels? Angel sighed and spoke before Klein could reply:
"Of course not. The night she escaped from the Black Death, she slept in the same suite with me. Now, to deal with you, she's told me all your secrets, as well as her own... By the way, you should know that the Faceless Man must be completely familiar with every detail of the target's body in order to transform, right?"
Tracy looked at her expressionlessly, saying nothing.
If my potion hadn't shown obvious signs of digestion, I would have thought you didn't care about it anymore... Angel suddenly felt reluctant to deceive the other party. He subconsciously looked at Klein beside him. Klein stood up from his chair, took off the "Rose Necklace" and helped Angel put it on. Then he smiled calmly and said:
"Although she doesn't love you, at least... she doesn't hate you either. She even tried to beg me not to kill you."
The tone of voice was completely different, causing Tracy to look at him subconsciously. Her eyes widened and her face showed horror.
In front of her, the facial features of "Elaine" began to wriggle as if melting, and she quickly turned into the personal maid who wanted to climb into her bed and replace Elaine all day long. Her long red hair also turned golden and fell softly on her shoulders.
"You... too, Faceless Man?"
There was no panic in her words, but joy instead.
The "Immortal" Witch Katarina watched this tragic drama quietly, her eyes mostly fixed on Angel. After Tracy, who had "sweet after bitterness", calmed down a little, she smiled and asked:
"What about you? You've been transforming into Tracy's appearance. Who are you really?"
If I were to become Angelica's appearance, my portrait would probably appear at the headquarters of the "Witch Sect" tomorrow morning... Angel curled his lips and didn't want to pay attention to her, but when he saw the two witches with the same black hair and blue eyes, his heart moved and his expression changed with his thoughts.
In just a few seconds, she changed her face in front of everyone, but her hair and eye color remained the same as Tracy's.
"elder sister?"
Seeing Angel's "true face", Tracy raised her long, straight eyebrows and exclaimed.
Then she reacted, her expression gloomy and her lips tightly pursed.
Even the smile on Katarina's face, which had always been smiling and seemed to be interested in everything, disappeared.
In front of them was Backlund's Witch of Pleasure, Lola Swann, who had "defected" from the Witch Cult and had a face somewhat similar to the two.
Sister... As expected, Laura and Tracy are related to Katarina by blood, and her noble identity is probably fake... But why did she flee the Witch Cult and why did she hide in Backlund?
"I see, you actually know her... I see."
After a moment of surprise, Katarina regained her smile and murmured. She looked at Azik, but when he didn't express his opinion, she turned her gaze to Angel and said,
"One last thing. Can you let me see the spell you were about to use?"
She wants to see the "disaster" spell?
Angel subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he thought again, he was still unclear about the source of the power of the talisman. He only knew that it was probably related to the power that could "resurrect" him.
Perhaps this "ageless" witch of Sequence 3 can see something?
Thinking of this, she nodded and took out the talisman from her pocket that she had just recited the opening spell for but had not been infused with spirituality and could not be activated. She pinched it between her fingers and showed the rune on the front to the other party.
"Thanks……"
Katarina thanked him politely, her eyes focused on the dark red talisman, as if studying the details of the runes on it.
But the next second, her eyes, as watery as a girl's, widened in surprise.
Azik, who had been standing still, suddenly pressed Angel's shoulders and reached out to Klein, who had blond hair and a proud figure, with his other hand.
The colors of the surrounding candlelight, carpets and beds became brighter, and the color blocks gradually overlapped. The three of them instantly entered the spiritual world and left the captain's room.
In Angel's eyes, the "immortal" witch Katarina's white and slender right hand reached forward, as if she wanted to leave the "disaster" spell.
She made a decision at that moment, pouring more than half of her spiritual power into the activated "Disaster" spell, and flicked her finger to push it forward.
In the spiritual world, Angel was pulled upwards quickly by Azik who was holding her shoulders. Amidst a slight feeling of overweight, the pitch-black block representing the "Black Death" was quickly covered by other blocks of color, and then faded and spread.
Finally, it all fell into pieces.
