Chapter 3391 The Injured Witches
When the two red butterflies on Mia's head disappeared and Xia De reappeared in front of the tombstone, he looked at the group of butterflies flying away with some surprise.
The "she" beside my ear gently reminded me:
[Outsider, the strength of your magic - "Red Butterfly Illusion" has been improved. ]
The blue butterflies shared some of their power with Shad, and they seemed to have recognized Shad as one of their own kind. In this way, no matter what form Shad transformed into, it seemed that the life forms in the corresponding form would recognize him as one of their own kind. His form transformation seemed to be different from the general Transfiguration.
Soon after the butterflies left, a fire appeared in the depths of the mist and kept approaching. Then Sister Belen and Theresa, holding old lanterns, appeared in a hurry. After Shad was sure that this was not an illusion, he happily went to greet them:
"I'm back. What happened to you guys?"
Although their clothes were neat, it was obvious that something was not right with the two of them.
The left hand of the girl wearing glasses was hung on her neck with a bandage, and white hair appeared among her originally beautiful blonde hair; Sister Beren looked no different from before, but Shad could clearly feel that the fire in her body had fallen into a dormant state, and the flame no longer rose, as if it was sealed.
"Shad!"
Theresa, who was carrying a shovel on her back, hugged Shade with one hand and said softly:
"You are finally back. We encountered some troubles while you were away. Go back first and don't talk here."
Sister Belen just nodded to Shade. When she looked up, the silver eye mask reflected the light of the lantern in her hand. Shade actually saw that a small piece of the upper edge of the eye mask had broken off.
It seems that something dangerous has happened:
"Okay, let's go back first. How are Miss Violet and Miss Liad?"
"The teacher is fine. She was just forced to consume two more soul tears. Now that the puppet body is in a weak state, she did not come out. Miss Liad's injuries are all external. Although the injuries of the living cannot be recovered naturally in this world, and the recovery effect of the secret arts is also limited, she is actually in the best condition among us."
So Shad didn't ask any more questions. He held Theresa's hand, carried the suitcase and carried Mia, and followed Sister Belen on the road back to the cottage.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the atmosphere of the Tombstone Wasteland was very different from the previous two times. Although there were still tombstones, mist, and flickering candlelight, the breath of death was becoming purer and closer to the rocky beach at the edge of the dark waters.
The originally silent wasteland became even quieter, and every breath of the living people became more and more obvious. The feeling of being watched became stronger and stronger, and this feeling did not come from a certain direction, but from all directions:
"It seems that the time we can stay here has reached the limit. We must get out as soon as possible."
Fortunately, although the environment became strange, nothing else happened on the way back except encountering a group of zombies who were easily dealt with by Shade.
After Theresa knocked on the door of the cabin at a specific frequency, Miss Liad, with messy hair, opened the door a crack with a frightened expression, and was relieved when she saw three familiar people outside:
"You guys are back. I was a little worried just now."
She made way for the door:
"Long time no see, Mr. Hamilton."
It seems that Xia De was away for a very long time this time. The interior of the room looks more dilapidated than before, and there is basically nothing left of the supplies Xia De brought last time.
The hound mother and daughter were huddled in front of the fireplace, warming themselves by the fire. The colors of both spirits had become somewhat lighter. Miss Violet, whose body had shrunk again, now looked only sixteen years old. She lay on the bed as if she was asleep. When Shade entered the room, he hurried over.
He placed his right hand on her forehead and felt it for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief:
“This body is too tired. It needs a good rest before it can wake up. Miss Violet, did you use more power than this body can bear?”
He asked as he took out the supplies he brought this time, and then went to the fireplace to help prepare the meal. Theresa didn't want Shade to help, but she couldn't stop Shade, so she could only watch him busy with them.
While preparing the food, Theresa and Miss Liad told Shad what happened here.
Before Shade left, everyone had eight funerary objects and two shovels left. Although they learned from the ancient giant king that the exit was in a tomb in the style of an ancient god's temple, the location of the temple still needed to be exchanged for 13 funerary objects.
So after Shad left, the four ladies who stayed behind tried to get the five missing burial objects before he showed up for the third time.
With their current level and the help of hunting dogs who are familiar with the wilderness, it should not be difficult to find a suitable tomb and dig out the burial objects. However, an accident occurred when the number of burial objects reached 12.
Because they could not stay outside the gravekeeper's hut for a long time, they took turns to go out and look for burial objects.
That time it was Teresa and Sister Belen's turn to go out together. They had just left the open space next to the cabin when they ran into a woman who was over two meters and five meters tall. She was wearing a bright red dress and had long white hair. She was holding a folding fan made of human bones and skin in her hand, and she covered half of her face with the fan.
The woman was dressed extremely gorgeously, and she seemed to have been standing in the fog for a long time. It was only when Sister Belen and Teresa saw each other that they realized her existence.
The two had not gone far at that time, so Miss Violet, who had just returned from an outing and was staying in the gravekeeper’s hut, immediately saw the tall woman.
Although I don't know what the other party is, anyone who appears here is either a living person or a monster, and that woman is obviously the latter.
It looked at Teresa and Sister Belen and chuckled. After removing the fan that covered the lower half of its face, it revealed its round mouthparts filled with densely packed sharp teeth.
"They encountered the Lady Swelling I mentioned before."
While Shade was controlling the flames to heat up the food, the hound snuggled up with his daughter and said weakly:
"The Marquis of Ghoul, the Madame Swelling, and the Gravedigger of the Coffin are the three most terrifying beings in this wasteland for the living, but they also know the secrets of this place very well.
I once said that the Swelling Lady was an ancient evil, but it was not until these respectable ladies encountered it that I realized that its true form was a female corpse."
"The teacher said that the Swelling Lady was probably a corpse that died in the early mythological era, and later became an evil creature for some reason."
Theresa said in a low voice. Her left hand was not convenient to move, but it was no problem for her to hold the plate with one hand:
"It was terrible, very terrible. When I faced her, I could hardly control the shaking of my hands, and now my mind is still forcing me to forget the process of fighting with the Swollen Lady.
I only remember that the teacher used all his strength in his puppet body, consuming two soul tears, and I only had six bullets left in my [One-Hit Kill Pistol] before we finally defeated it.
Even if the teacher's real body is here, we may not be able to defeat it head-on. This is the home ground of the undead, and it is almost immortal here."
At that time, in order to rescue Sister Belen and Teresa who were entangled by the "Swelling Lady" and could not return, everyone left the cabin to help. Most of the injuries suffered by the girls were caused at that time, and the injuries of different people were different.
The hound mother and daughter's souls were damaged, the fire in Sister Beren's body was suppressed by an unknown force and fell silent, Theresa's entire left arm's soul was sealed, rendering her left arm unusable, and Miss Violet's body was forced to hibernate due to excessive spellcasting.
Although Miss Liad was only injured, her left eye is now half blind. Although it has little impact on combat and movement, it is not completely without impact after all.
No one knew how the "Swelling Lady" found this place, but it was probably because they stayed here too long and caused trouble. After repelling it, everyone stayed in this stone house and never went out again until the nun sensed the return of Shade.
However, repelling the ancient evil was not useless. During the battle, many of the gorgeous gold ornaments on the opponent's body fell off. After inspection, the number of burial objects held by everyone increased from 12 to 16. In addition to the gold bracelet brought back by Shade this time, the number of 17 burial objects was enough for them to find the last temple.
The witches' spirits were all in a state of scarcity, so they were unable to heal their injuries. So when everyone started eating, Shade prepared treatment plans for them one by one.
Miss Liad's left eye was temporarily blinded due to trauma. She did not receive treatment because the injury to the eye was related to the power of the evil creature. Rash treatment might cause the residual power to invade the brain.
But everything was fine after Shade came. He first cast the "light spell" on Miss Liad's eyes. Although this caused the girl's eyes to be completely blind, it also purified the weak power left by the evil creature. Afterwards, it was much easier to treat the eyes blinded by the light, and "sunlight healing" could do it.
But afterwards, when Miss Liad looked in the mirror, she found that there was a faint silver color in her left eye.
The souls of the hound mother and daughter were injured and Shade had no way to heal them. He could only let them recover slowly on their own, and it was best not to join the battle afterwards.
The left arm of Theresa's soul was sealed. After untying the bandage on her left arm and tearing off the sleeve, the black runes on the surface of her white skin had caused part of her left arm to rot.
But after a careful inspection, Shade found that it was not a seal, but the power of "Madame Swelling" was cursing and assimilating Theresa's body, trying to turn her into her own clone.
