Chapter 35: The Blessing of the Divine

Seeing the person in front, Agnes was also startled.

She had long ago checked the previous sewer layout of Tana City; there shouldn't be so many people living here.

Damn it, when she came a month ago, there wasn't a single person here, not even many rats.

Now there are actually so many people here; could it be that the people at the Municipal Building discovered her?

"It's that one, that one! Ai Ai posted her design drawing on the forum!" Just as Li You finished speaking, Luolita beside him rushed up with a shovel in her hand.

That's a BOSS, Li You thought in shock, and then, as if thinking of something, he also rushed up with a shovel.

Are they crazy?

Agnes quickly mounted her magic broom and used her shoulder to knock Luolita aside.

But Luolita used her shovel to strike directly at the broom, making her lose her balance.

Just as she was preparing to adjust, another shovel struck over; fortunately, she was agile...

"Curse!" Blood trickled from the corner of Agnes's eye; a scar was carved into Li You's body, his shoulder split open and rapidly festered.

Li You was startled, but just as he began to feel some pain, the sensation vanished.

"Save me!" he shouted, and his good brother Li Yong immediately rushed over, using a shovel to hack off his shoulder.

Although he lost an arm, he gained the right to live; Li You climbed up from the ground and shouted: "Catch her, she is that witch from the Factory District!"

"Witch, look here!" *Plop*, an unspeakable object was thrown at Agnes, and Agnes, who had just been preparing to dash, was burning with rage.

Although she didn't know where these people came from, they seemed not to know how to write the word "death."

Once the curse effect takes hold in a moment, they will definitely, definitely die a miserable death!

Agnes had a dark face; a witch's melee ability is not strong, and without preparation in advance, her abilities are hard to use.

One cannot fly very high inside the sewers, and there are many people in front who don't fear death trying to block her; she doesn't know what they are thinking!

Seeing so many civilians along the way, none dared to block her; she didn't know where these bugs came from. She subconsciously reached into her bosom and took out a bottle of potion.

The players didn't yet know they were called bugs by Agnes; to them, although there was no clear quest prompt, the witch before them was definitely a BOSS with a health bar.

Even Chen Zhi, who had been hiding behind the scenes watching the screen, was considering whether to give this fellow a health bar.

Forget it, if not for the sake of realism... Chen Zhi shook his head and said to Susan, who had returned to report to him, "Stay hidden here with me."

"Yes, I will strictly obey your holy decree," Susan said, trembling slightly.

Chen Zhi closed his eyes and began to contact Saina and Andrew, especially Saina; she should be evacuating with the people from the Municipal Hall, and he needed to tell her in advance that the witch had already arrived in the sewers beneath the Municipal Hall.

Sigh, he didn't expect to encounter such a problem during his first game test. Chen Zhi even started searching to see if he had any abilities to deal with the witch.

This was also his first time searching for the abilities possessed by this body of his.

"Sigh, it's all garbled code." Chen Zhi shook his arm helplessly. "Hmm, this blessing of bestowing Calamity seems interesting; a blessing of Calamity..."

Chen Zhi decided to give it a try; anyway, trying wouldn't hurt.

One of his arms stretched out from the space he was in, and after winding around, it reached the front line of the battlefield.

Agnes was killing like a madwoman.

Witches are born knowing how to brew Magic Potion; even without artificial guidance, they possess a natural affinity for herbs.

Therefore, most witches' attack methods rely on Magic Potion.

Several players who approached Agnes were instantly paralyzed and fell to the ground; anyone who attempted to get close to Agnes would be struck in an instant.

However, there were also vigilant players; after all, there were the most players at this time, with over fifty players in the entire sewer, so even if a dozen or so fell, there were still plenty of people to ensure Agnes was surrounded.

Time was running out.

Agnes frowned; she had already used the most tragic poison to make these fellows realize how terrifying death was.

Players hit by the Paralysis Poison soon developed tearing marks all over their bodies, as if the earth were cracking; their skin split open, gradually festered, and emitted an annoying stench.

However, it was somewhat different from what Agnes had expected; normally, people who were poisoned should be in excruciating pain, watching their own changes with open eyes, and then wailing for help.

These fellows died too easily; there was neither wailing nor pain, and they simply breathed their last very quickly.

The players, each holding a shovel, surrounded Agnes three layers deep and three layers out.

If she wanted to break out, she would be struck by at least a dozen people, which was truly a test for a fragile witch.

However, these people were standing so sparsely that as long as she could consume some potions to strengthen her body, surviving this wave of attacks wouldn't be a problem.

That was a potion that even people from the War Church would use; Agnes revealed a smile. "I have to say, you are indeed very courageous, but to me, you are no different from ants."

With a *snap*, she flung out a handful of medicinal powder, and the players retreated quickly; no one wanted to be hit and log off again.

That would mean not being able to log back on for an entire day.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Zhi's arm moved and added a buff to the opponent.

The blessing of Calamity was silent and soundless; if not for the arm winding back as it retracted, no one would have known that this witch had been bestowed a blessing by an Evil God known for disaster.

More than ten players hit this witch, even though the witch's movements were still quite fast.

But compared to the players who had a higher numerical advantage, her speed was not worth mentioning; one must know that the main purpose of a magic broom is for flight, not high-speed flight, and in terms of speed, a witch is not worth mentioning compared to a Warrior or mechanical product.

"As expected of a BOSS, she's completely immovable." Several players chased after her, panting, but unfortunately, how could ordinary people defeat Transcendental Power?

"The plot is finished just like that, and she killed a dozen brothers?" Li You sat on the ground, dejected. "No, I have to suggest an optimization; this counts as a bug, right?"

While the players were complaining, the witch wasn't doing much better; Agnes spat out a mouthful of blood, her entire face even more twisted.

Damn it, those fellows were surprisingly strong; were they not affected by the curse at all?

With a *snap*, Agnes bumped into a massive rat; that rat, who knows where it popped out from, sent her tumbling with a somersault.
