Chapter 487: Destined (Happy New Year!!!)

The Witch leader stepped down from the carriage, gazing at the Sotos Museum, a hint of a smile appearing at the corners of her mouth hidden by a black veil.

Her disguised identity was named Juliana Kege, a wealthy widowed woman who loved literature and art, enjoyed traveling, favored salons and banquets, and had sponsored many down-and-out artists...

In fact, such a person did indeed exist, but she was a hidden member of the Witch Sisterhood.

When the Witch leader wanted to hide her identity, she unceremoniously took it and used it.

And as such a wealthy widow, banquets and literary activities in high society were indispensable pastimes.

The Witch leader's performance in this regard could be called impeccable.

He discovered that on this ancient land of Green Forest, the abilities of the Red Earl were unexpectedly useful, and even received a terrifying bonus!

His true form was hidden in a corner, a single-barrel flintlock with countless patterns engraved on its surface suddenly appearing in his hand.

Amidst the Witch leader's immense surprise and Aaron's matter-of-fact gaze, the Witch's Scream exploded!

At this moment, the iron chains locking the Book of Witches were rapidly snapping.

This Magical Item had begun to lose control!

"You stole my 'treasure', you shall receive punishment!"

The Witch leader felt her pupils constrict violently, and without a second thought, she prepared to unleash her Extraordinary Ability.

The death harvest of an Evil Spirit was as laughable as a child's toy in the face of this Curse.

Clatter!

The iron chains sealing the book snapped completely, and the ancient book opened automatically, names appearing on it as if written in blood.

A smear of scarlet spread out, rapidly filling the void.

The Witch leader threw out a thick, pitch-black tome in a fit of exasperation.

The Witch leader felt very aggrieved, but she knew she had reached a life-or-death juncture.

Aaron utilized the abilities of the Red Earl and spoke first: "In the rules of my territory, my subjects will not be harmed! All battles will take place in a different space!"

The Witch leader let out a scream, and a terrifying sound wave carrying the sharpness of soul-harvesting swept over abruptly!

She could only fight alone, falling into an extremely disadvantageous and dangerous situation!

Bang!!

She stepped off the carriage and evaluated in her heart.

She would bear the terrible Fate Backlash resulting from the death of the Son of Dawn!

"What do you call this stealing? It was clearly thrown by you on purpose; I didn't even touch it!"

But the Witch leader had no other choice!

This was—the Book of Witches!

It was not only the registry of the Witch Sisterhood, but also recorded many powerful Witch black magic spells and Magic Potions; it was the symbol of the Sisterhood's heritage!

At the same time, it was also the most powerful Strange Object in the Witch Sisterhood!

Crack!

The terrifying explosion and flames not only exposed the Witch leader's position but also instantly devoured most of her arm.

This was a sound sharper and more terrifying than a Witch's Scream.

Snap!

The Witch leader easily dodged, letting the strange Treasure Pot smash against the carriage, instantly shattering into pieces!

The smile at the corners of Aaron's mouth widened; this kind of attack seemed unable to cause him any harm at all, so he began to counterattack, throwing the Treasure Pot hard.

As for collateral damage to the surrounding people and the museum? She didn't care at all.

'An accidentally given misfortune, the destined ending of Thought Alchemy, and the Backlash after forcibly contracting and then breaching it! With three layers of misfortune stacked, she must be at the point where she'd choke to death just drinking water, right? I don't even need to make a move; I just need to watch how she brings about her own demise.'

The next second.

Aaron announced with great shamelessness: "With 'accident' as the witness, the Contract is established!"

And since they were in Green Forest City, it was naturally impossible to avoid this Sotos Museum.

The Witch leader prepared to break the seal and let this powerful Strange Object lose control, using it to stall the Green Forest Earl and buy herself time to escape!

This decision was hard to make; after all, it meant voluntarily discarding a heritage Strange Object, and the loss was extremely heavy!

She might even be voted out of office by the other Great Witches upon returning.

"Damn it!"

Its cover depicted a dim Moon, and the whole thing was heavily bound by countless tiny iron chains.

Sylvia blinked, discovering that the noblewoman and the carriage had actually disappeared...

Within the domain blockade of the Red Earl, she was completely unable to transmit her Prayer to the outside world!

'So this is the place where the Green Forest Earl was born? It looks just average...'

After the power of 'Law' was completed, even the abilities that could only be realized by actively concluding a Contract underwent a qualitative change!

It no longer required the other party to 'agree', but could be forcibly contracted!

The name of this Magical Item was—the Witch's Scream!

After adding special Alchemy bullets, the power of each shot was comparable to a cannonball!

However, the Witch leader did not aim at Aaron, but at the edge of the Scarlet, and pulled the trigger violently!

Her spiritual intuition told her that Aaron was an enemy she could not contend with; she had to break this blockade to have a chance of survival!

The Witch leader did not see that Aaron's gaze toward her carried full... pity!

If the Witch leader hadn't created a substitute again, she might have died directly in the explosion caused by the pistol backfiring!

If the Witch leader had released this Curse in the outside world, I fear most of the people on the entire street would have died immediately!

The moment he threw the Treasure Pot, Aaron received feedback—the Contract was established!

The witch leader has broken the contract!

The witch leader's divinatory intuition was warning her frantically; not only had she suffered the Backlash of Fate, but the effects of "Thought Alchemy" were also at work within it!

In fairy tales, people are always willing to believe—that the evil witch will eventually be punished!

Immediately following this, the witch leader heard a crisp "Crack!" sound.

A few seconds later, her expression went blank; she seemed to have forgotten how to scream, forgotten this incident, and continued to entertain tourists with enthusiasm...

Her Spirituality was warning her frantically; she looked toward the other side of the street and saw a gentleman strolling over.

Only then did the witch leader discover that a drop of blood, splashed from the severed end of her arm, had unexpectedly landed on him at some point!

"No!"

If the other party were to have even the slightest hesitation because of this reason, she would instead feel incomparably delighted!

He held a gold-inlaid cane in one hand, while in his other hand he was actually carrying a Treasure Pot that was completely out of tune with his temperament!

"That fairy tale!"

She performed a roll, creating a mirror clone.

"I declare... this is my territory!"

In another Scarlet space similar to Lvsen Dadao, the figures of Aaron and the witch leader appeared simultaneously.

But the pages of the book it had opened suddenly stopped at a certain piece of parchment, on which was written a name dripping with blood—that was the witch leader's true name!

Her figure suddenly became rigid, like a solidified plaster statue; her beautiful chin slowly tucked downward, and she saw a crack forming on the crescent-shaped pendant at her neck!

A terrifying feeling instantly enveloped her entire body, making every pore tremble.

Furthermore, all divination, and even the Curse used to ascertain her safety, were obscured and lost their original effects!

She let out a terrified scream, and her figure was instantly swallowed by the hideous giant mouth on the expanding pitch-black book...

PS: Wenchao wishes all the book friends a Happy New Year, wishing everyone all the best and may all your wishes come true in the new year!!!
