Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 254: Charm Witch, Leopard Girl’s Purpose

Roy's actions were not only beyond Diana's expectations, but also beyond Barbara's expectations.

Unlike Diana, Barbara always knew Roy was nearby.

But she didn't expect that Roy, who had never made a move but just stood by and observed, would actually take action at this time.

"When did you come?"

Diana first glanced at Barbara, the leopard girl who had been kicked away, and then asked about Roy.

"It's been a while since I've been here."

Roy said slowly.

After hearing his answer, Diana frowned slightly.

Roy had not taken action before and stood aside to watch the battle. She had no objection.

After all, Roy had no obligation to stop Barbara.

What she cares about is that she has never discovered Roy's existence.

If Roy hadn't released his invisibility and attacked Barbara, she wouldn't have noticed that Roy was nearby.

For Diana, this was something that had to be taken seriously.

If Roy is an enemy, this means that Roy can attack her at any time without her noticing.

"She is my old rival, I will just deal with her."

After thinking for a few seconds, Diana said to Roy.

"I'll do it."

"You know her well, and she knows you well."

Roy replied.

He chose to take action at this time because Diana couldn't bear to deal with Barbara.

Otherwise, even if Barbara has strength far beyond ordinary people, she will never be Diana's opponent.

Barbara just has the power given by the gods.

Diana is a demigod with divine power and the blood of Zeus.

After saying that, without waiting for Diana to answer, Roy walked towards Barbara who was kicked away by him.

After seeing Roy walking towards her, Barbara ignored the pain in her body, raised her hands in a fighting posture, and looked at Roy warily.

"My personal suggestion is that you'd better not resist."

Roy said to Barbara who was ready to fight.

He was not Diana, and he would not deliberately hold back to prevent himself from hurting Barbara.

As long as they are enemies, he doesn't care whether they are male or female.

On the battlefield, as long as you pick up a gun, you need to use all your strength to deal with the enemy.

Only in this way can you ensure your survival.

This is something that troops from many countries emphasize repeatedly when training new recruits.

Although Roy is not a soldier, he agrees with this concept.

After hearing his words, Barbara did not speak, but instead let out a threatening low sound like a real beast.

It was obvious that she didn't intend to just surrender.

Roy was not surprised by Barbara's choice.

It would be abnormal if Barbara would choose to surrender.

Roy ignored Barbara's threatening whisper and decisively mobilized the power of the stars in his body.

flash!

Before Barbara could react, Roy flashed in front of her.

At the same time, the right fist was punched out at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

Before Roy's right fist even touched Barbara's lower abdomen, a local shock wave broke through the sound barrier in the air, and a loud sonic boom erupted.

Then, a right fist that was extremely fast and powerful hit Barbara in the lower abdomen.

Bang!

A dull beating sound like a war drum sounded.

Not unlike the loud sonic boom that shattered glassware and windows.

This sound of hitting was not strong. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't even be able to hear this small sound that was almost completely hidden in the sonic boom.

However, for Barbara, this small hitting sound was the real source of pain.

The moment Roy punched her in the abdomen with his right fist, all thoughts in Barbara's mind disappeared, and her whole mind went blank.

Not only that, except for the terrifying pain that she had never experienced before, which seemed to completely destroy her body, she lost all perception of the outside world.

Without any suspense, the severe pain beyond the limit of her body caused Barbara to pass out.

thump!

Roy withdrew his right fist and watched as Barbara fell to the ground unconscious.

Then, he said to Diana:

"Resolving the source of the crisis in the shortest possible time is the best way to avoid further escalation of collateral damage."

"Otherwise, we will only be led by the enemy and change more and more."

In terms of age, Diana is much older than Roy.

But from Roy's perspective, a long life did not make Diana "smarter".

In other words, Diana is still used to thinking like a "good person".

Although she was "educated" by Roy, Diana had to admit that what he said was right.

If she had gone all out from the beginning, the matter would have been over a long time ago and would not have developed to this point.

Although she tried her best to protect some antiques, some were still destroyed.

Diana said nothing and went straight to the unconscious Barbara.

After confirming that Barbara had only passed out due to severe pain, she said to Roy:

"I'll just take care of the rest."

"Um!"

Roy nodded.

The next second, he flashed and disappeared from Diana's sight.

Outside the museum.

Selina, like everyone else, stood outside the cordon and watched the Metropolitan Police who had just arrived at the scene enter the museum.

At this moment, Roy's voice came from beside her.

"The matter has been resolved."

After hearing Roy's voice, Selina quickly turned her head to look at Roy.

"Do you know who the robber is?"

Selina asked quickly.

"Let's talk after we leave here."

Although the attention of the surrounding crowd was on the Metropolitan Police and museum guards, this was not a good place for conversation.

"good."

Selina nodded and replied.

A few minutes later.

In a coffee shop near the museum, Roy and Selina sat facing the street, tasting the coffee in front of them.

"The robber is a leopard girl."

"As for what she is looking for, we are not sure yet."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Roy said to Selina.

Leopard girl?

Selina frowned slightly.

Although she had not seen Leopard Girl with her own eyes, she knew that Leopard Girl had been captured by Diana a long time ago.

"Shouldn't she be locked up in some secret prison?"

Selina asked doubtfully.

"Under normal circumstances, this should indeed be the case."

"How she escaped from prison and what she was looking for will be known after investigation."

Roy said slowly.

Unlike Selina, he doesn't care how Barbara the Leopard escaped from prison.

He only cares about one thing, and that is what Barbara is looking for.

For others, Wonder Woman's true identity may be a mystery.

But Barbara definitely knew that Diana was Wonder Woman.

Knowing that Diana was Wonder Woman, Barbara actually dared to steal things from the Metropolitan Museum of Art so openly.

No matter which angle you look at it, this is abnormal.

Even if there is something really important in the museum, Barbara can definitely do it at another time.

"Is it possible that she came just for Diana?"

Selina continued to ask.

"Not very likely."

"She must be looking for something. Even if Diana is her target, it must be just by the way."

Roy replied.

Although he was curious about what Barbara was looking for, he probably had to wait until Barbara took the initiative to ask or Diana investigated the various antiques recently collected by the museum to find out.

Just when Selina was about to continue asking something, her cell phone suddenly rang.

After seeing the number displayed on the screen, she showed a surprised expression.

"Diana called."

Selina first spoke to Roy, and then pressed the connect button.

As soon as the call was connected, Diana asked straight to the point:

"Is Roy with you now?"

"Here, what's wrong?"

Selina replied immediately.

"Please give him your phone."

"Uh-huh!"

Selina handed the phone to Roy.

Roy took the phone and said:

"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Are you free now?"

"If you have time, why don't you come to the museum? I seem to have found what Barbara was looking for."

Diana said quickly.

Found it so quickly?

Although he guessed that Diana would carefully check what items had been brought to the museum recently, Roy did not expect that Diana would be so efficient.

"Okay, I'll go over now."

Roy replied.

"Well, I'll wait for you at the south gate of the museum. Selina, please come with me."

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Roy and Selina briefly talked.

Then, he paid the bill and left the coffee shop.

South entrance of the museum.

Although the museum was temporarily closed, under the leadership of Diana, Roy and Selina entered the museum easily without any obstruction.

Diana did not take them to the previous work area, but took them to the underground of the museum.

Along the way, after passing several security doors, the three of them arrived at a temporary warehouse that only a few employees could enter.

Although it is a temporary warehouse, the security level of this warehouse is no lower than that of other warehouses.

The reason why it is called a temporary warehouse is because it contains antiques that have just been delivered to the museum and have not yet been studied and classified.

"After you left, I went to the monitoring room to watch the surveillance video and discovered that Barbara's goal this time was a certain antique newly sent to the museum."

"Then I looked into the list of antiques that had recently been sent to the museum."

"Finally, I found this on the list."

After speaking, Diana stopped in front of one of the boxes and slowly opened the box.

This is?

After seeing the contents of the box, Roy's expression became a little strange.

Although he is not an archaeologist, the small ceramic doll in front of him is not unfamiliar to him.

Witch!

To be precise, it is a clay doll with a witch sealed inside it.

How could it be this thing?

Shouldn't this thing be in a cave in a hidden temple in South America?

How come it appears here?

In movies and comics, the settings of witches are completely different.

In the comics, "The Enchantress" Jon Munn is possessed by the evil spirit Danzamo in a secret room in a haunted castle.

Say the word "witch" and she can transform into a witch.

In the movie, Joan Munn became a witch because she broke the neck of a clay figurine and released the witch sealed in the pottery figurine, thus becoming possessed by the witch.

Although the origins of the witches in comics and movies are different, after seeing the pottery figurines in the box, Roy knew that the witches in this universe were most likely the same as those in the movie.

As for why the pottery figurines appeared here instead of being destroyed as soon as they were discovered, this is not very important.

"I checked the information and found that it was donated to the museum free of charge by a deceased wealthy South American man."

"The rich man passed away a week ago. According to his will, this pottery figurine was donated to the museum free of charge."

"In addition to this pottery figurine, the South American rich man also donated some ancient books."

Diana said slowly.

"Did the rich man say what this thing is?"

Roy asked.

"In the document he sent, there is a brief introduction to this pottery figurine."

After speaking, Diana handed the folder in her hand to Roy.

Opening the folder, Roy browsed quickly.

Just as he guessed, this pottery figurine came from an abandoned temple.

According to the information, it was a temple used for living sacrifices in ancient times.

In the cave of the temple, there are bones left behind during the living sacrifices.

And this pottery figurine was placed on the altar of the cave.

Although the information briefly explains the origin of the pottery figurines, it is only superficial information.

Closing the folder, Roy said to Diana:

"Do you know what this pottery figurine is?"

"I know, I've read it in ancient books."

Diana replied quickly.

Then, she slowly began to talk.

Of course the ancient books she had read were not those sent by the South American rich man, but the ancient books kept on Paradise Island.

Although Paradise Island is very far away from South America, and the Amazons have never had formal contact with witches.

But Paradise Island still has records related to witches.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because the Amazons at that time had not yet lived in seclusion.

Not only did the Amazons not live in seclusion, but neither did the Atlanteans.

At that time, humans, Amazons, and Atlanteans not only coexisted peacefully, but also had certain cooperation and connections.

After listening to Diana's story, Roy compared the witch information in his memory.

In general, the witches Diana described were similar to the witches he remembered. They were all beings from other dimensions, possessing various magical powers and the ability to possess their hosts.

The only thing that was different from what he remembered was the process of the witch being sealed.

According to Diana, the Enchantress was sealed because the gods of South America took action.

Otherwise, the South American natives at that time would not have been able to seal the "god-like" witches.

In addition, it seems that the witch in this universe is the only one who came from other dimensions, and did not come with her brother.

In the ancient books of Paradise Island, only the witch is recorded from beginning to end, and there is no mention of the witch's brother at all.
