Rise of the Dark Witch

You can't escape, you can't fight, you can't fight. If you want to survive, you can only...

"Everything was the conspiracy of that damn Leif!" Brand defended, "It was that bastard who bewitched me!"

"Brand, it's so ugly." Roja sighed.

"...Leif is dead. We can use him to make a potion that can improve magic resistance. We can work together to pass the wizard test."

"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"

"Do you have to kill me? Do you have to do it so cruelly?"

"Brand, do you know what I was thinking when I was ambushed by you guys just now and learned that you were going to use me as a bait to refine the potion?"

Roja looked up at the sky, white clouds drifting across the blue sky.

After a moment of silence, Roja said softly: "I don't have any special feelings. Isn't it natural to sacrifice others for strength and success?"

"I have already prepared to be surrounded by enemies, I have already prepared to be stabbed in the back, I have already..."

"Be prepared to face death."

Roja stood up and looked directly at Brand, "You are preparing to kill me in order to become stronger. I am not as good as others and I die. I will never resent you."

"But if I am stronger than you and have the strength to fight back, I will never show mercy!"

Roja walked towards Brand step by step with his sword in hand.

Every time Roja took a step forward, Brand took a step back.

After Brand leaned against a boulder and could no longer retreat.

He looked at Roja who was getting closer and suddenly laughed with a distorted face, "If a guy like you can do it, then I can definitely do it too!"

After speaking, Brand roared.

"Uh-huh-"

The muscles all over Brand's body were swollen and twisted, and blood vessels were swimming under the skin like earthworms.

puff! puff! puff! ——

As Brand continued to roar and exert force, the muscles on his body actually split like dry bark, and the blood vessels continued to explode like bursting water pipes.

In an instant Brand was soaked in blood, but he was laughing.

"Is this magic?" Brand clenched his fists, "Haha, in front of this power, a mere knight is as weak as a mouse!"

Brand's face was twisted in pain, and his whole body made a sizzling sound of flames.

Brand actually inspired the bloodline!

Even Roja's ability to activate his bloodline and guide his magic power requires the assistance of the Two Souls Certificate before he dares to do it.

Brand?

If Roja carefully obtained water through a broken faucet that sprayed water, then Brand was equivalent to directly smashing through the water pipe.

The price is definitely not as simple as getting wet.

Sure enough, Brand couldn't even make a single attack and collapsed to the ground, wailing in pain.

Under the scorching heat of the rampant magic, Brand's body continued to become dry and charred.

"No, it's impossible..."

"How could I die? How could I fail?"

Memories from the past resurfaced in Brand's mind.

It was a sea of ​​fire!

His beloved, his relatives, his children, the most important people in his life struggled painfully under the burning flames.

And he could only watch all this with tears in his eyes.

"I can't die yet!"

"I want to become stronger! I want revenge!"

"Roar ah ah -"

Driven by hatred, Brand, who had already fallen to the ground waiting for death due to the rampage of magic, actually stood up unsteadily.

"You actually relied on your will to suppress your bloodline and control the rampant magic? Can the power of your will really be so powerful?" Roja stepped forward and pierced Brand's chest with his sword.

"Um!"

Brand glared at Roja with hatred.

He felt just a little bit off.

He has suppressed the violent bloodline, and he has been able to control the frantic magic power.

Just give him a little more time, and he will be able to gain power beyond that of the Great Knight.

Roya...

He stared at Roja with tears of blood, "I hate! I hate you! I curse you!..."

Until his death, Brand's eyes filled with blood and tears were still staring at Roja tightly, his eyes filled with negative emotions such as unwillingness, anger and hatred.

The eyes are terrifying, and those with a slightly weaker willpower may be haunted by nightmares for the rest of their lives.

But Roya... smiled.

"Hey, do you have the right to hate me?"

"You think that because you have a miserable life and a painful past, the world must give in to you? Others must understand you and sympathize with you?"

"I have clearly felt the pain of being bullied by the strong because I was weak. After I became strong, I bullied the weak without mercy at all."

"Those maids who were tortured to death by you, when they were wailing and begging you to spare their lives, did you feel a trace of intolerance in your heart?"

"A scum like you is cursing me?"

In Governor Craigie's mansion, Brand, who had an irritable and inhumane personality, tortured seven or eight maids who served him to death.

Such a scumbag attacked him first and was killed by him in the end.

Still hate him?

Curse him?

hehe!

Roja sneered and injected life into the holy sword.

Under the influence of the oscillating force, firecracker-like explosions sounded from everywhere in Brand's body.

When the Holy Sword of Roya was sheathed, Brand's body had turned into pieces.

It was only then that Roja, who was disgusted by Brand, felt a little better.

…

Return to Governor Craigie's Mansion.

Looking at Roja who came back, Long was a little surprised.

"I didn't expect you to be the one who came back alive." Long En looked a little happy as he said this.

Roja looked carefully at Long, the man who came two months earlier than him.

The first day he came to Governor Craigie's mansion, he met Long.

At that time, Long was full of malice towards him, and even muttered to him, "Here comes another guy who wants to die."

He always felt that one day he would become an enemy of Long.

Now that I think about it, he was superficial.

"Do you know?" Roja asked.

"Hey, you're the only one who's kept in the dark." Long replied.

"The people who participated in the Green Grass Trial were used as medicine guides to refine the magic potion. How did they know?"

"When you ask this question, you already know the answer."

"...That's it."

Roja already knew that Governor Craigie was not optimistic about him, but he did not expect that he would not be optimistic to this extent.

Among the four people who participated in the Green Grass Trial, they actually chose him as a sacrifice?

It can only be said that it is not unreasonable to say that Governor Craigie has not even trained a wizard apprentice for so many years in office.

Governor Craigie’s vision is so bad!

Roya guessed Governor Craigie's criteria for selecting candidates - crazy, no bottom line, and unscrupulous.

In Governor Craigie's view, the more such a person is, the greater the probability of becoming a wizard.

So he took a fancy to Brand, who was immersed in revenge and had gone crazy and lost his humanity.

Leif, who uses everyone and everything around him and has no bottom line, was selected.

Such people may really be more likely to become wizards.

But Governor Craigie, who paid too much attention to appearance, completely ignored one of the most important factors - strength!

You don't have to be crazy to be a wizard.

But because the wizard has the power to do whatever he wants, he has the qualification to be crazy!

It's not that he can become a wizard because he has no humanity, but because wizards are too powerful, so powerful that they are completely different species from ordinary people, so they lose their humanity.

Governor Craigie got the causation completely wrong.

"You actually ignored me, who is the strongest and most determined, and chose two clowns?"

Roya felt deeply speechless towards Governor Craigie.

He looked at Long in front of him.

Looking at Long En, whose body was covered with blue and black toxin bruises, he asked: "Don't you want to pass the Green Grass Trial? Why didn't you participate in besieging me?"

Long En laughed, "The reason why a trial is a trial is to temper the strong and eliminate the weak. It's better for those wastes who have to use tricks and shortcuts in even the grass trials to die early."

Looking at Long En's leaving figure, Roja felt for the first time that this man could be dealt with.
