He steered the two giant, floating arms to strike the thorny vines driven by "Lani".
"To think you can use my 'witchcraft' against me is utterly foolish and laughable!"
Lani snorted coldly, dismissing Franky's resistance with disdain.
We now turn to Arthur's perspective as an observer.
He watched as the gray thorny vines from "Lani" easily pierced through Franky's floating giant arm.
In the next few seconds.
The two floating giant arms were pierced repeatedly by gray thorny vines and were completely destroyed without any resistance.
finally.
As the witch apostle Franky attempts to continue casting "witchcraft".
The gray thorny vines from "Lani" had arrived, first touching his hands, then quickly climbing up his entire body.
Finally, his body was firmly fixed in place.
Meanwhile, Franky's mouth was sealed shut by thorny vines, forcing him to stop chanting the spell halfway through.
At this point, he seemed to have completely lost the power to resist, and his eyes began to show real terror.
"Even though he was struck in the heart by my 'Withered Heart-Piercing Arrow,' he did not die immediately."
Having done so, "Lani" walked slowly to Franky, who was still bound, with an elegant and mature demeanor:
"Is this the benefit they give you after you become the demon's lackey?"
After saying that, "Lani" raised a hand and gently beckoned towards Franky's face.
next moment.
The thorns on Franky's face receded, allowing him to speak again.
But under Lani's close questioning...
Frankie felt a fear of death, and his face was filled with terror.
He answered Lay's question with a trembling voice:
"My Lady Witch, please believe me, I am still your faithful follower."
My relationship with those demons is merely a facade.
"Oh! If that's true."
After hearing this, "Lani" raised her other hand, then cupped Frankie's face in both hands and leaned closer to him:
"Then why did you interrupt the resurrection ritual that was already halfway through, forcing me to resurrect from the 'container' in an incomplete state?"
"My Lady Witch, it is because my skill in 'witchcraft' is too shallow!"
Franky, increasingly terrified by Lani's doting affections, continued to vehemently defend himself:
"They failed to properly assess the witch's revival state and mistakenly believed that the witch was being guided by a wrong ritual, which is why they intervened."
"Hahaha!"
After hearing this, "Lani" let out a sharp, piercing laugh, which stopped after a while.
Her face turned cold, and she asked:
"If it weren't for this witch's ornament, and the soul mediums of the two 'vessels'..."
Do you think I can easily return from my slumber to execute you, a traitor who colluded with the demons?
When Franky heard Lani mention "two 'containers'" in her words, he swallowed hard and unconsciously looked away, his gaze returning to the spot where the large flower bud had been.
There, another young woman lay unconscious.
At that moment, he had only one question in his mind:
Why would there be two witches' "vessels" in the barren border region of Blackrock Territory?
"Because this is the witch's destiny."
Lani read Franky's thoughts from his pale face, and a wicked smile crept onto her lips:
"The Blood Rose will bloom again!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two hands that Lani was holding Franky began to emit a crimson glow.
In an instant, the crimson light transformed into a sharp spike, piercing Franky's neck.
At this time.
A buzzing, noisy sound began to fill Franky's ears.
He seemed to realize what was about to happen, so he abandoned begging for mercy and instead mustered his courage to begin intimidation:
"Witch, you can't kill me."
Once they kill me, they'll pinpoint your location.
"In your current state, they can capture you just as easily once they find you."
Upon hearing this, "Lani" looked angry:
"I am the root of all evil in humanity, the mist that brings annihilation and end, the grey-red rose witch."
How could they possibly be caged birds of the demons behind you?
As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet rose burst open from Franky's forehead and bloomed in full glory.
Subsequently.
Franky's pale face froze for a moment, then his eyes went blank and his pupils dilated.
This is the end.
Franky, the Witch Apostle, is the last invader of Blackrock Territory to die.
We now turn to the perspective of Arthur, the bystander.
He witnessed the entire process of the witch apostle's death.
But he did not relax his vigilance in the slightest because of Franky's death.
Because, for him, an even bigger problem has now arisen.
"Your name is Arthur, right?"
Just as he was pondering how to handle this new crisis, "Lani" turned around first and looked at him:
"Is it you who found me another 'vessel' and this important witch's ornament?"
Therefore, I also bestow upon you a precious gift: the opportunity to become my apostle.
Faced with an olive branch extended by a dangerous and unknown witch.
Arthur remained calm under pressure, shook his head, and moved on to something he was more concerned about:
"Witch, could you please answer me first? What did you do to Miss Lani and Vivi?"
"They were born as 'vessels' for my resurrection, and their souls are naturally to be devoured and assimilated by me."
Lani calmly recounted her true situation to Arthur:
"However, because of the interruption by the traitor who just died, I have not yet fully completed this process of devouring and assimilation."
Therefore, I need you to become my apostle, to protect me, and to help me complete the final absorption and assimilation.
After saying that, "Lani" raised one hand and opened her palm to Arthur.
Two ghostly blue humanoid spirits appeared on Lani's outstretched palm.
Undoubtedly, this is the remaining essence of Lani and Vivi's souls.
When Arthur witnessed this scene, he was deeply moved.
He felt as if his heart was being violently torn apart, experiencing an indescribable and intense discomfort.
In an instant, a myriad of thoughts surged through his mind.
"Miss witch, please return Miss Lani and Vivi's souls and bodies to them."
Finally, all his thoughts converged into one idea, and Arthur clenched his fists angrily, speaking in a low voice:
"In my eyes, they are just two ordinary young girls in their prime, never any 'vessel' created for you."
"You also wish to be my enemy?"
Upon hearing this, "Lani" frowned and put away Lani and Vivi's azure spirit bodies.
Immediately afterwards, with a thought from her mind...
The gray mist around her quickly gathered towards her, and in an instant, it shaped into several gray thorny vines.
Then, without waiting for Arthur's response, "Lani" commanded all the gray thorny vines to fly towards him.
Look at Arthur.
After expressing their opinion.
Without further hesitation, he made his choice in the face of the oncoming thorns and vines—to draw his sword!
First Combat Skill: Blood Boiling!
Second Combat Technique: Blazing Charge!
As countless thoughts churned within him, he quietly began to practice the "Flaming Lion Breathing Technique."
At this moment, he spared no effort to squeeze out the maximum amount of his life seed, unleashing his strongest waveguide power.
At the same time, he also activated the "Moon Power" and "Sun Power" of Lv.2 "Blessing of the Moon" and Lv.2 "Blessing of the Sun".
With the support of three different extraordinary forces.
Arthur launched himself forward, using his Flameheart Sword to cut down all the thorny vines in his path.
Soon, he arrived in front of "Lani".
He raised the Flameheart Sword again and swung it down directly at the silver necklace around Lani's neck.
Recalling the conversation between "Lani" and the witch apostle Franky just now.
Arthur had realized that the silver necklace he had given away might be the key to breaking the deadlock.
And Lani's response proved that his guess was correct.
"Um!?"
After realizing Arthur's intention to attack, she instinctively took a step back.
A look of astonishment and apprehension involuntarily appeared on his face.
Then, she raised a finger and pointed it at the sword that Arthur was swinging.
next moment.
A crimson light burst forth from her fingertips, displaying incredible power, deflecting Arthur's sword and knocking him back.
"Arthur, I did not want to kill you."
Then, "Lani" pointed with her fingertip to Arthur's retreating heart:
"But your disobedience is unforgivable, and you shall be struck by an arrow that pierces your heart!"
The voice just fell.
Another crimson light burst forth from the fingertip, transforming into a slender, sharp spike.
Arthur seemed not to have reacted yet, a look of astonishment on his face.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-red spike pierced Arthur's heart.
What happened next was exactly as "Lani" had predicted.
Arthur's aura weakened instantly, and he immediately stopped attacking.
Immediately afterwards, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and then stuck the sword in his hand into the ground to support his body.
Finally, he knelt on the ground in a defeated manner.
Lani, sensing Arthur's waning life force, relaxed and ceased her attack stance.
