The witch thought I am a Demon God

Chapter 847: Chapter 444: Sharing the Aura of the Demon God

Ivita understood that the so-called Feast Ritual was a means for witches to share power from the demon god of Subspace.

This was probably the reason why a city-state like Epirus could have so many witches residing here and even establish a hierarchical Witch Council.

In Epirus, at some unknown time, near the hills behind the city, a demon god appeared, blurring the boundaries between the material plane and the Subspace Plane. However, it seemed the demon god was sealed here as well.

After discovering this, the witches stayed here, using it as their base.

This could explain why the witches of Epirus were much stronger in magical power than witches from other regions.

A voice emerged in Ivita’s mind.

’Honored guest, you have come from afar, and we’ve been remiss in our welcome. Please wait until our ritual concludes, and you may share in the demon god’s power with us. Here, this power is of the least value.’

Ivita looked up at the witches not far away, and saw a witch wearing a simple green wizard’s hat and robe, with a magically solidified black one-eyed raven on her left shoulder.

Clearly, it was that witch using telepathy to communicate with him.

Ivita’s expression was serious; she was a Witch Marquis, and she was enveloped in an odd power, which was the logic, experience, and knowledge derived from the Soul of Darkness.

This was an unsealed full-fledged Witch Marquis.

Moreover, there were three other Witch Marquises participating in this ritual.

’The souls of sentient beings in the Magic Black Forest contain laws and divine grace accumulated over history, which is why only the most formidable witches can use mind reading and telepathy,’ Ivita thought. ’No wonder, those are distinctive traits of the witches from Epirus.’

Ivita attempted to use his Light Soul to reverse-engineer the telepathy just used by the other witch, and a bit clumsily employed the magic to reply, ’No problem.’

The witch turned back to Ivita with a surprised look. ’Your Excellency is truly remarkable, never have I seen such a powerful Light Soul. Mr. Ivita, I am a Southern Witch, also the Supreme Witch of the Witch Corps of Epirus.’

She raised the Fiend Dragon Bronze Ring on her left thumb. ’This is the Supreme Witch Dragon Ring, representing my status as the leader of the Witch Group.’

Hearing her self-assured introduction and even flaunting her Dragon Ring before Ivita, he knew she took pride in her status; but after he demonstrated his own power, she evidently started regarding him as a peer.

After all, boasting before those far lesser in ability was a profoundly boring affair for someone like the Southern Supreme Witch.

However, Ivita was not quite familiar with the Supreme Witch; this title seemed to have emerged after the fall of the Ancient Civilization.

Hence, the Southern Supreme Witch had chosen the wrong person to show off to.

When the Southern Supreme Witch saw Ivita’s expression remain calm, she instead misunderstood and smiled at him from a distance. ’I almost forgot that someone like you will soon ascend to the status of a Supreme Wizard among warlocks.’

’Still, it’s the highest honor for wizards and witches. Yet in the presence of someone like you, this honor that countless individuals crave is easily within reach.’

’I want to be your friend, someone as noble and powerful as you, Mr. Ivita.’

’Certainly, that would be my pleasure, madam,’ Ivita blinked, clearly, she had misread his emotions.

This was probably because the Southern Supreme Witch was so accustomed to reading others’ thoughts and feelings through heart-reading that her emotional intelligence was lacking.

After all, abilities not exercised could indeed deteriorate.

Their conversation was interrupted by an unexpected turn in the ritual.

The rift in the sky suddenly trembled, and then one of the prominent witches surrounding the stones screamed, and without warning, her head exploded.

Seeing this, the other red-robed witches were unfazed and continued their eerie chanting.

Next, the heads of two formal witches exploded, followed by a high-ranking witch whose head did not explode, but her left arm did.

The Southern Supreme Witch said to the other three Witch Marquises, ’Northern Witch, Eastern Witch, Western Witch, the demon god is no longer satisfied with our curses. His demands grow every year, and sooner or later we will be unable to meet them, awakening him fully. The day he fully wakes is the day Epirus will be destroyed.’

The Northern Witch, a plump woman, grumbled, ’Damn demon god, no amount of cursing is enough. Besides curses, only the blood of the unfaithful, the limbs of the violent, terrifying stories, and bloody sacrifices can appease him.’

The Western Witch ordered the knights protecting the Witch Group, ’Bring up Epirus’s death row prisoners, thieves, and fraudsters immediately.’

’Offer their flesh and blood to the demon god.’

Soon after, a group of knights came up with the prisoners in tow, offering their flesh and blood atop the stones.

Then a bizarre scene unfolded.

The wounds of the three dead witches and the grievously injured one healed at an eerily rapid rate.
