Chapter 311: Chapter 231: The Great Name of Calamity Witch_3

Just as Lin Xue’s ninth slash was swung and the blade’s tip was about to hit, the figure of the White Clothed One suddenly disappeared, replaced by a half-meter-high rock, which was cleanly cut in two by the sharp scythe.

"He escaped?" Mu You frowned as he looked around, there was no trace of the White Clothed One on the battlefield at that moment.

"It’s just a substitution curse, replacing a specific object within a thousand meters, he couldn’t have gone far. Look over there," the crow pointed in a direction, seemingly not willing to let the White Clothed One get away.

In a deserted alleyway of the street on the other side, the White Clothed One, who had narrowly escaped death, quietly appeared, clutching his chest, only feeling a heavy pounding in his heart.

It was really dangerous just now, any delay would have cost him his life on the spot.

However, thanks to this, he understood something: those two people are probably not the real Calamity Witch and Pactress!

Though their fighting style appeared fierce, compared to the duo he had directly faced before, they were still immature—especially the Pactress. He could feel the lack of actual combat experience; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had a chance to escape earlier.

However, the voice and tone that had spoken out sounded just like the Calamity Witch of the past. It didn’t seem disguised...

The White Clothed One was left in a quandary.

Now that he had left the battlefield, immediately escaping back to the Mage Tower was certainly the best choice.

But he also wanted to go back and confirm the identities of those two people, whether they were the genuine Vivian, whether it was the real person or someone using her name. This would greatly affect their strategy going forward.

Of course, if he did so, he would once again be in an extremely dangerous situation...

Just as the White Clothed One was hesitating, a shadow suddenly swooshed overhead, bringing with it the forceful breath of a dragon.

"They’ve already caught up?"

The White Clothed One was startled and quickly teleported to a remote location, avoiding the dragon flames.

However, as soon as he landed, he noticed a snowball rolling quickly toward the entrance of the alley, almost perfectly timed with his landing. It exploded as soon as it reached his feet.

"Damn it!"

The White Clothed One was shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The next moment, the snowball exploded, turning into countless ice crystals, freezing the White Clothed One in place. The snowflakes around him condensed to form a large snowman, and a palm struck toward the White Clothed One.

Caught in the freeze, the White Clothed One felt chills down his spine.

Just a moment ago, he was questioning if it was the real Vivian because of their immature fighting style, but this snowball was executed so precisely, as though practiced countless times. He didn’t have a single opportunity to escape.

This made the White Clothed One uncertain again: could that person really be the Calamity Witch herself?

The three-second freeze might be considered neither long nor short, but it was enough time for the two individuals in the distance to catch up again.

"Hum!"

Soon, a blade was again slicing through the air, leaving a dramatic gash on the White Clothed One with blood splattering outwards.

The next second, the White Clothed One finally broke free. Taking advantage of the moment before the scythe-wielding girl’s next slash, he managed to teleport away once more.

However, this time, Mu You landed right where the White Clothed One had appeared. With his spell already prepared, a black light shot out of his magic wand and penetrated the White Clothed One’s body.

The White Clothed One immediately felt that the flow of magic power throughout his body had been interrupted, and he was no longer able to cast any spells.

Magic Interruption, a secret technique evolved from the Silencing spell, also came from Capricorn’s crystal.

The evolved Black Magic no longer just sealed the mouth, but directly interrupted the flow of magic power, preventing the target from using any magic and also stopping the use of scrolls or any other tools that consumed magic power, with an effect duration of a whopping 16 seconds!

This was undoubtedly a potent restraining skill, especially for wizards who relied solely on magic. A wizard hit by this spell could do nothing but run.

Of course, this secret technique also had a major limitation - it had to be used at close range.

Regardless, at this moment, the White Clothed One had been hit by the technique. Without support from his magic, his combat power was reduced to a tenth of what it had been. Mu You showed no signs of relenting, swinging his magic wand. Several wind blades shot forth, slicing the fleeing White Clothed One, causing severe injuries and rapidly draining his HP. One of his legs got severed, and he stumbled and fell, left without any chance of escape.

Meanwhile, Lin Xue had caught up from behind and, with a swish of her scythe, dealt the final tenth slash.

Knowing there was no hope of survival, the White Clothed One didn’t even bother to dodge the final strike, letting the blade slash across his body.

The next moment, a massive spectral figure of the Grim Reaper emerged from the scythe. In its gaze, the wildly flickering Soul Fire soon locked onto the White Clothed One on the ground. A long, strange cackle came from its mouth as it seemed pleased with the soon-to-be-devoured new offering.

Faced with the suffocating pressure brought by the Grim Reaper, the White Clothed One seemed to have lost the ability to feel fear and ignored it entirely, focusing only on staring at Mu You and the crow on his shoulder.

The distance was too far before, and he was blinded midway, so he wasn’t able to see clearly. Not until just now, during the close-quarters combat, did he finally get a good look at the truth about the two of them.

"So that’s how it is...you’re not the real her!"

The White Clothed One stared intently at the crow on Mu You’s shoulder, a smile of relief appearing on his lips as though he had unburdened a heavy load: "You’re just a lingering soul brought back to life... Black Magic, indeed, comes with a deeper price! Ha, ha, ha, it seems you’ve already paid the price for it!"

"So what?" Vivian replied calmly: "It doesn’t change the fact that the Wizard’s Association will be destroyed."

"..."

The White Clothed One’s gaze suddenly intensified, he had accepted his fate, he had laid down to die but hearing this, he suddenly began to struggle again: "I can’t die, I must convey this message, let the world know the evil of Black Magic, the creation of devils, there’s nothing wrong with the Wizard’s Association..."

The White Clothed One stumbled towards the Mage Tower, dragging his remaining leg, desperately trying to escape the reach of the Grim Reaper.

Unfortunately, once the Grim Reaper appeared, it would never let its offering escape.

The colossal ghostly figure of the Grim Reaper reached out with its left hand, easily catching up with the White Clothed One who had run several tens of meters away. Its fingers pathed through his body, pulling out a streak of soul energy that glowed with a faint blue light.

The White Clothed One’s soul, which was being stretched out like rubber mud, was firmly grasped by the Grim Reaper while still struggling vigorously. It seemed to want to escape from the Grim Reaper’s control, but it was of no use.

The Grim Reaper firmly held one end of the soul, pulling out the entire soul body. Then, its right hand’s scythe swung down, passing over the body of the White Clothed One, cutting the soul off, then stuffing it into its mouth.

After some chomping, the Grim Reaper let out a satisfied laugh, disappearing into the scythe. Also, a ball of soul light that was filled to the brim moved into the scythe along with the Grim Reaper.
