House Witch

"Wait a minute, why is it that you are going to die all of a sudden? Didn't you agree that you and Atty are the same person?"

Dorothy was a little stunned by the huge amount of information in the words of the Demon King in front of her, and she asked in shock.

In response, Astymus just spread his hands and shrugged.

"The so-called growth is originally a process of constantly killing the past self, isn't it? Of course, for witches, this is generally called wear and tear."

"But at my level, ordinary small wear and tear can't shake me, unless I change voluntarily. There is only one throne in this world. If the new king wants to ascend the throne, the old king will naturally have to abdicate, right? ?”

"This lucky little girl can do better than me in the future. If she can reach a state that surpasses mine, then I will naturally be happy to give up my position."

She explained.

Well, her road to destruction is destined to be deadlocked. Even if the God King and Dragon King don't stop her, she foresees that there will be other obstacles waiting for her at the end of this road.

In the past, she had no other choice but to hold her nose and follow that train of thought to the dark side. But since the God King's chaos in the Witch's Night, a brand new path appeared in front of her.

So there is nothing to hesitate about. There is an old saying in the Eastern Universe: He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

Astymus thought she was very smart, and she made the choice easily.

"I heard that the path of demons is not to take turns as emperor? If you just abdicate, you can be a clone or something, so you won't die."

Dorothy asked with some ignorance.

That is the only thing in all realms that only the strong ones after the sage realm need to consider. As for the current strength of the otaku witch, she is still far behind. She can understand the words of the demon king, and that is all thanks to the witch of the forest. The lady is very knowledgeable, but the little knowledge she has had in the past is obviously only half-understood.

"Haha, my silly teacher, you are so naive. Do you think this is playing house? Then you can sit on the throne of God if you want, and retreat if you want? This is still the craziest path of demons, demons When did the competition between them become so tender?"

Hearing the cheap teacher's innocent words, the Demon King was also happy. She laughed so hard that she even burst into tears.

After a long time, she had laughed enough, and then she continued to look at Dorothy in front of her, with a happy smile on her angelic and pure face.

"Hehe, what, teacher, are you reluctant to let me die? You are really gentle. I am not the Atty you know. You and I should be just strangers who don't know each other. For me, who always thinks about How can you still feel compassion for the great demon king who destroyed the world?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are indeed a born saint. I really admire your compassion."

Her tone was somewhat mocking, but she didn't know whether she was mocking the "hypocritical" teacher in front of her, or whether she was mocking herself for her complete failure.

Dorothy: "."

Damn it, this real Demon King really has a bad character. I'm kindly worried about you, do you have to prick me a few times like a hedgehog?

Haha, I think you are really afraid of other people's concern.

The otaku witch complained in her heart.

However, she was indeed told the truth by the Demon King. Dorothy felt inexplicably sad when she thought that the former Demon King would die in the future.

Although the Artie she knew ascended the throne and became the new Demon King, which was a good choice for everyone, the otaku witch still felt very uncomfortable, very, very unhappy.

"So, is there really no other way?"

Dorothy asked in a calm voice. She really didn't want to sacrifice one person to fulfill another person. She greedily wanted everyone to be happy.

And upon hearing the otaku witch's unwilling inquiry, Astymos also sighed.

"If I were weaker in other worlds, I might still be able to survive as an avatar, but for me who has already sat on the throne, abdicating is death."

"Actually, it can't be considered dead. It's just being gradually worn away. I will be replaced by this little guy bit by bit. This process will last for thirty thousand years. When you return to the future, the devil you will see will be this little guy. "

"However, you don't have to feel bad. After all, relatively speaking, for the future, Astimus has long been dead, and the person talking to you now is just a dead remnant soul."

"Besides, this is my own plan to seek transcendence. You are just a chess piece that I have used. You should be angry and resentful towards me as a chess player. Where does the empathy come from? Don't treat that little kid It just disgusts me to have guys’ feelings transferred to me.”

"My failed life is meaningless in the first place. It's good to be able to achieve transcendence like this. I have no nostalgia for this bastard world."

The Lord Demon King's tone was very rational, not at all like the madness of a dying person, but very open-minded.

Dorothy raised her head and looked at her. Their two pairs of dark eyes intertwined. The witch found that the eyes of the witch king were really pure and rational, worthy of her title of the king of wisdom.

The otaku witch suddenly remembered that if Artie could survive the erosion of the Demon King's soul by relying on the Heart Oath she taught, and thus retain his own humanity, then what about the one-week Demon King?

How did she grow up without anyone's help?

Well, probably the only stupid way left is to sink in the original sin, and after going through no hardships, truly tolerate all the original sins, overcome it little by little from the puppet, and finally turn over and become the master of the original sin.

In useless novels, the protagonist will meet Goldfinger before he rises. For Artie, Dorothy is the grandfather who comes to his door.

But for Astymus, she had nothing and could only rely on herself for everything.

This is indeed unimaginable suffering.

And a life with only suffering is really not worth cherishing. After all, no one is born to suffer.

Dorothy was silent for a long time before she spoke.

"We are not strangers. After all, you gave me my first account."

The otaku witch said this as she thought about the title of the Nidaime Demon King shining in her heart.

Well, she got this before Witch Night started, and at that time it was only a week.

Astymus: "."

It was indeed given by her, but it was not entirely given by her. It was just given by her office incarnation. After all, at that time, she really had no idea how special the little witch in front of her was. Just treat him as a talented junior with some talent.

"I accept your confession, but I don't approve of your choice. I don't like tragedies. I will find a way to save you. Whether it's Artie or Astymus, I don't want to lose it."

Dorothy raised her head and said with firm eyes.

big boss:"."

Astymus was momentarily shocked by the aura of the little witch in front of him, and he was really in a complicated mood. It was really strange that someone like her, a devil who did all kinds of evil, still hoped that she would not die.

But who wants your salvation, and who do you think you are? If it weren't for that guy in the sky protecting you, you would die if I blew my breath. What would you do to save me? Do you deserve it?

She subconsciously wanted to ridicule him like this. She was so arrogant that she would not accept the mercy of such a weak person.

However, when the words came to her lips, she finally swallowed them.

"It's up to you. It's all in vain in the end anyway. If you have the time to spend on a dead man, you might as well pay more attention to this enviable little guy."

Astymus left after leaving these words.

"Um, teacher, what happened just now? I seemed to have fallen asleep?"

Adi shook his head and asked in a daze.

She was just feeling sad because her teacher was about to leave. Could it be that she was too sad?

The devil girl scratched her head, quite confused.

A witch doesn't need to sleep, so why would she doze off?

After sensing that the terrifying aura had disappeared, Dorothy also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't play tricks on me. I need you to cooperate with me in the performance later. If your performance is beautiful enough, how about I give you a gift? Then you can use it as a souvenir of mine."

She pretended to be annoyed and scolded Atty, and then changed the subject.

As soon as she heard the gift, the devil girl no longer bothered about the matter of her dozing off just now. She had wanted the teacher's souvenir at Van Zhuo's house before, but things got messed up. She would never let go of this opportunity.

"Don't worry, teacher, I promise not to hold you back this time."

Adi promised so while puffing out his busty chest.

Although she was still reluctant to leave the teacher, the previous troubles made her realize that the teacher had made up his mind and she could not keep her, and she almost guessed that the teacher came from the future.

Hum, teacher, just wait. When we meet again in the future, I want you to compensate me double.

Hey hey hey, the newly born teacher will

Perhaps thinking of some terrible scene, the smile on the devil girl's face gradually became abnormal.

Dorothy: "."

The house witch couldn't help but shudder. She decided to stay away from the devil when she went back. If this guy dared to come close, she would summon her sister.

But let’s worry about the future in the future. The most urgent thing now is to figure out how to “want it all.”

Although the arrogant Demon King looked down on people just now, Dorothy would not really give up her efforts just because of those words. If that were the case, she would not be able to gather an unyielding martial spirit like the Goblin King.

Um, wait, the Goblin King?

The otaku witch glanced at Xiaoliu in her consciousness space, who was actually ready to be born at any time, and then an idea flashed in her mind.

Well, there is.

Haha, just wait, Lord Demon King. We will meet in the future. Then I will let you understand that I am not the second generation Demon King, but your second generation Dorothy.

The otaku witch showed a confident smile.

"Yeah, it's good that you know. Don't worry, you will definitely like the gift I give you this time."

Dorothy answered Artie.

But everything went smoothly next, and the two of them soon arrived at the opera house.

"Lord Hermes, you are finally here."

As soon as they arrived, Fiona and Venus, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, came to greet them.

When the nine-tailed white fox witch saw the otaku witch, her charming eyes were full of fanaticism. She had completely become a fan of the otaku witch.

Well, after all, Dorothy often comes here to participate in performance rehearsals during the week, and in order to allow Venus to successfully complete the task later, she often exchanges music and art with the Veela Witch.

And every time the two communicated, Fiona was listening. In the end, the nine-tailed white fox lady who was very obsessed with art almost turned into the shape of Dorothy in her head.

"How are the preparations going?"

Dorothy was a little scared of Fiona's burning gaze, so she had to turn her head and ask the future queen beside her.

"Well, I will definitely help you, teacher, in the best possible way."

Venus, who was peeking at Artie, turned her head and said this in a tone of military order.

At this moment, the Veela Witch no longer has the low self-esteem and cowardice she had before. Over the past week, the various compliments and praises received by Dorothy every time she communicated with her have helped her re-establish her self-confidence.

Well, although she is indeed not outstanding in terms of magic talent, in terms of artistic talent, she is a one-in-a-billion genius. This is something that the teacher has personally admitted, and it is absolutely true.

Venus is now so confident that she is about to swell into a pufferfish.

Seeing the Veela Witch like this, Dorothy did not attack her. After all, as the greatest artist in the history of the Witch besides the Dragon King, the future queen can indeed afford this pride, and she is not afraid of expansion at all. Overly fried.

"Then let's have the final rehearsal."

Dorothy said this as she walked into the opera house, just in case.

Soon, night fell, and the central square of Night City was crowded with people.

Even though the square space had been temporarily expanded countless times in advance and became the size of a giant city, it was still crowded. After all, at this moment, except for some people who really couldn't live without it for special reasons, the entire square was Almost all the residents of Night City, whether they are witches or aliens, are here.

Well, this scene reminded Dorothy of the scene when the two ladies gave a free performance before. Unfortunately, in this era, there was no wonder building like the Witches Opera House, so all the audience could only stand in the square.

"Then, let's get started."

Dorothy whispered.

As a result, the Dragon Witch, dressed in a classic Phantom Thief costume, separated from Hermos' body.

"Hermes, I'll leave it to you from now on."

The Dragon Witch said this to the lying girl in front of her.

"Well, then, Miss Phantom Thief, I wish you a safe journey."

The elegant magician lady took off her hat and bowed to say goodbye.

And when she stood up straight again, there was no one in front of her.

In the night sky, above the full moon, a pair of phantom thieves with dragon wings spread out like cloaks galloped past, quickly approaching the location of the Hall of Holy Blood.

On the square stage, everyone from the Heart Circus took the stage.

"Everyone, do you want to see real magic?"

Miss Magician came on stage, she smiled at the audience in the city.

The legend begins here.

The curtain is opening. (End of this chapter)
