Chapter 232 Lamia, my daughter!
A storm of blazing flames arose in this underground pyramid-like building.
A humming sound was heard throughout the entire underground building, which made people feel extremely scared.
The endless burning flames blew across the bodies of many witches, whose hair turned white and their bodies withered.
These witches had almost no reaction. Their bodies instantly turned into gray ashes. Amidst the wailing sounds, their souls and bodies were blown away by the wind.
Immediately afterwards, these ashes that looked like bone ash mixed together and were blown towards the human figure that was gradually forming in the flames.
Under the gazes of Deya and Lamia, the mass of ashes that looked like bones flowed directly into the human-shaped mouth.
The Devouring Witch, she actually ate all the witches' bodies and souls. Yes, she ate them all!
"call……"
The witch let out a light breath as if she had burped.
The flames burning in the building began to gather gradually and finally turned into the body of the witch.
The Pope of the Witch Cult in front of him, the witch known as the 'Devouring Witch', looked like an octogenarian.
Although she looked to be only in her 30s, she was very charming, and her face was filled with all kinds of strange colors like those witches.
But just seeing her would make people unconsciously think of "decay" and "fall" and so on.
This is a witch whose body may be healthy, but whose soul seems to be shattered at any time.
"Lamia Cape!"
The witch sounded like she had just woken up; her voice was lazy and filled with strange emotions.
The leader of the witch cult in front of her slowly opened her eyes, looked at Lamia, and laughed strangely: "...My daughter, are you here to see me as your mother?"
The Devouring Witch's words made Deya a little stunned, and he couldn't help but look at Lamia beside him.
Daughter? What's going on?
A series of plots flashed through Deya's mind in an instant.
For example, this witch fell in love with Lamia's father, and then gave birth to the witch Lamia, which turned into an ethical family comedy.
Lamia noticed Deya's gaze and said coldly, "Don't let your imagination run wild, Deya."
After a pause, she continued, "...This witch is not my mother. My mother is from the royal family of the Narbo Empire. Although she is not a direct bloodline, she is also an important collateral line. She has nothing to do with this witch."
The Devouring Witch laughed loudly: "But your birth is related to me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been born."
Lamia sneered: "Don't argue. If you weren't there, Lamia Capet would still be born. At most, Lamia Capet would be an ordinary daughter of a duke, not a witch.
I would rather not be a witch, then my parents would not die because of me, and they would not be remembered by you, a witch!"
Lamia's dark eyes flashed with intense anger.
She explained to Deya softly, "The Devouring Witch, her ability is just like her name, she can devour other people and gain their power.
However, this ability is limited. She can only obtain the opponent's power within a certain period of time. As time goes by, the power she obtains will gradually disappear.
As a nine-ring witch, this devouring ability is useless to her and she can't use it at all.
The power that can be swallowed by her is not necessarily stronger than her, and she cannot swallow the existence that is stronger than her. "
The anger in Lamia's words seemed to be turning into reality, because the witch in front of her was the culprit who killed her parents and destroyed her family.
“Back then, when many powerful witches were still around, she used her relationship with those witches to betray her friends, defeat them with a sneak attack, and devour them.
She then used the same method to devour several witches in succession, and thus completely gained the ability to control the building based on the mystery lock rituals of the building mastered by different witches. During a witch meeting, she used the mystery locks to kill or capture all the witches.
The Witch Cult was established for this reason, but soon the witch discovered the problem. Due to restrictions imposed by the gods, the extraordinary professionals in this world could not break the 1000-year lifespan limit.
Even she, the witch who defeated all witches, could not break through the mystery set by the gods, so she could only find other ways to prolong her life.
Finally, she set her sights on the 'Time Witch'."
Lamia's brief words had allowed Deya to understand the truth and development of the matter and the root of everything.
Sure enough, Lamia said fiercely: "The power of the Time Witch can manipulate time to a certain extent. This is one of the few ways to break through the lifespan limit set by the gods.
She therefore captured the Witch of Time, ate her, and gained her power within a certain period of time, thus breaking through the blockade of her thousand-year lifespan.
However, the ability to devour cannot permanently obtain the opponent's power, so she needs to find and capture the Witch of Time again every once in a while.
After several times, she even found a way to control the birth of the Time Witch!"
Deya understood it completely.
This devouring witch survives by continuously eating the witch of time.
The power of a witch can be inherited. When a witch dies, her power will be inherited by the next witch who is born again after a certain period of time.
Although these witches are not the same person, they possess the same power.
The leader of the Witch Cult took advantage of the characteristics of the witches. After eating the Time Witch, he would wait until the next Time Witch was born and then catch and eat her.
It is not clear how many witches Deya she has eaten, but what is certain is that the leader of the witch cult has survived to this day by devouring the flesh and blood of the time witch.
Lamia is such a tragic product. The Devouring Witch has mastered the method or law of the birth of the Time Witch.
As a result, she let Lamia inherit the power of the Time Witch. After Lamia's witch power awakened, she killed the Duke of Capet and his family and took her back to the Witch Cult.
Under normal circumstances, Lamia would have been eaten like all her predecessors until she died completely.
But for various reasons, Lamia escaped from the witch cult and gained freedom. "You are not my mother, you are my enemy, the enemy who killed my parents. You have lived too long, the devouring witch, it is time for me to let you rest in peace."
Lamia's voice was cold, and countless clock-like phantoms appeared behind her.
Seeing this, the Devouring Witch laughed and said, "Lamiya, do you think you can defeat me, you can kill me?
You are just a witch of the seventh ring. How can you defeat me, a witch of the ninth ring? Do you rely on him?"
The Devouring Witch spoke arrogantly, pointing her finger at Deya with a look of disdain.
"Lamia, your biggest mistake was to dare to return to the cult again. You killed all my witches. But it doesn't matter. I have as many of these witches as you want.
There are too many people who would give up everything for a powerful force, but I only need you!"
The Devouring Witch roared, and her voice seemed to become material, wandering and exploding in this underground building.
Lamia calmly looked at the Devouring Witch, who was surrounded by terrifying magical fluctuations, and asked slowly:
"There's just one thing I still don't understand. You only need me, so why do you want to kill all the witches? You don't need their power, do you?"
The Devouring Witch said in an excited tone: "You don't understand, Lamia, you don't understand anything, let me tell you the truth!
All of this is the conspiracy of the Great Witch. All witches come from the Great Witch, but the Great Witch has fallen, and she is trying every means to resurrect.
When the witch's power reaches its limit, the great witch will be born again from the witch's body. At that time, all witches will die, and the great witch will completely destroy the entire world!
I am saving all the witches, I am saving the world, so, as long as I eat all the witches, the big witch will never be resurrected!"
The Devouring Witch's crazy words made Deya and Lamia look at each other.
If it were in the past, they might have really been fooled by the leader of this witch cult and thought that this was her purpose.
But Deya had seen the real Great Witch in the World Recollection, and he knew very well that the Great Witch did not have such ambitions. She even believed that she should die after completing her mission.
If the great witch wants to be resurrected, she can use Lamia's body to be resurrected at any time.
However, the Great Witch only left part of her power to Lamia, and had no intention of resurrecting herself, otherwise Lamia would have died long ago.
Lamia sighed and said, "You just found a good excuse for yourself, Devouring Witch. You are not trying to save the world. You are just doing it for yourself. You want to keep yourself alive. You are such a selfish person. Don't make yourself sound so great."
The Devouring Witch pointed at Deya and said arrogantly: "You are only good at talking. Let me kill him first. Let's see if you can still be so arrogant after you lose your support!"
"Rainbow Rain!"
The Devouring Witch directly used a nine-ring spell on Deya.
She is a warlock just like Lamia, or rather, all witches are warlocks, and the power of witches comes from another system.
A huge rainbow glow suddenly lit up in this underground palace, and the colorful rainbow light poured down like a rainstorm.
If it were outside, a spell like this, cast at full power, would be enough to blow half a city into pieces.
But when facing Deya alone, the Devouring Witch used this nine-ring spell right from the start, which shows how much importance she attached to him.
The colorful rainbow light carries various powers including positive energy, negative energy, strong acid, ice, burning, venom, etc.
Under this spell that has almost all attributes, even a dragon with extremely strong magical defense capabilities will be seriously injured by the bombardment of the restrained attributes.
Just as Deya was about to make a move, Lamia stopped him.
Lamia stood beside Deya with her hands folded on her abdomen. She lowered her eyes slightly. Behind her, those strange clocks began to reverse, and time seemed to go against the flow at this moment.
The colorful rainbow lights had not yet landed on the ground, they were frozen in mid-air. Immediately afterwards, the rainbow lights quickly shrank and eventually turned into nothingness.
The Devouring Witch was stunned when she saw this scene. She said in disbelief, "How can you, a seventh-ring warlock, block this ninth-ring spell?"
Lamia said coldly: "It seems that the long years have caused problems in your brain. Since I dare to come here, I am naturally prepared.
If it was any other Nine-ringed warrior here, I wouldn't dare to claim victory easily, but if it was you, a witch, then you would never be my opponent."
The Devouring Witch seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly changed: "No, that's not right, you are not Lamia, you are the Great Witch!
You are resurrected, you are indeed resurrected. No, I will never be killed by you. Even if you are the source of all witches, even if all witches' power is controlled by you, I will never admit defeat!"
The Devouring Witch let out a sharp scream, and a storm of flames burned around her again. However, judging from her movements, she was not going to attack, but was preparing to escape using a teleportation-like ability.
"This is the power of a witch. You know very well that the power of a witch will not work in front of me. All your strength will be useless!"
Lamia simply raised a hand, and the burst of flames quickly dissipated. The Devouring Witch's spell had completely failed, and she staggered to the ground with a confused look on her face.
Soon, the leader of the witch cult had a ferocious look on her face again, and she was ruthless in her heart: "Okay, very good, fortunately I was prepared for this.
Great witch, the witch's power is indeed useless in front of you, but what if it is not the witch's power! "
The Devouring Witch raised her head and howled toward the sky, making a sharp, high-decibel scream.
The sound gradually exceeded the frequency that humans could hear, like the chirping of insects.
Deya and Lamia's expressions changed slightly.
The Devouring Witch's appearance changed drastically at this time. The spine on her back cracked, and eight spider-like legs stretched out from it.
And her entire body turned into a giant bug!
"Mother of all living things?"
Seeing the appearance of the Devouring Witch, Deya immediately thought of the time when the king became like this in Susetsani. That was the power of the Church of the Mother of All Life!
"Sure enough, the Church of the Mother of All Living Things is the one that hides the deepest. All the conspiracies lie with this Mother of All Living Things!"
Deya finally took action at this time.
The world was silent, and endless death was spreading!
