For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King Chapter 17

Chapter 17 The Witch

"The form of these runes is too ancient. I can't understand its specific function. The only thing I can be sure of is that there is a seventh-order thunder and lightning spell stored in it."

The girl who was only the size of a palm fluttered her dragonfly-like wings and hovered in the air, and the shiny scale powder kept falling from her body.

When spoke, she held her face with one hand and stroked along the overflowing thunder light on the demon seal rune with the other.

"Don't you call yourself an old witch who has lived for more than two hundred years, even you feel ancient?"

Cass asked suspiciously.

With a "whoosh", the witch flew in front of Cass and shouted angrily with her arms on her hips.

"I've said it countless times, don't call me an old witch, and don't bring up the topic of age. Do you understand that talking about age in front of girls is a taboo? Taboo!"

Can you still call yourself a girl when you are over 200 years old? I really don't understand the time concept of these longevity species.

Cass turned his head slightly.

"You said your age first, and I didn't even bother to ask."

"It was an emergency at that time, okay! And you have the face to say that if you don't tell you your identity at that time, you are afraid that you will kill me as a monster. I was saving you at that time."

She got even more angry when she said this, and flew directly to Cass's head and pulled his hair vigorously.

"After I killed several spider monsters with human faces and ran out, a woman with dragonfly wings suddenly flew out and sang on my head, what do you think I would think? Besides, you witches are all Is it so weak that I was almost killed by a mortal who doesn't even know magic?"

Kas said, gently pushing her away from his head.

The witch charged Cass' hair several times, but was blocked by the opponent's hand. In the end, she had no choice but to sit on Cass's shoulder and said in a very dissatisfied voice.

"That's because you humans put all your energy in researching magic on **** more efficiently. Our race has never been good at fighting, let alone using magic to fight."

"But if you are not good at fighting, you can only be slaughtered by others. This is the iron law of this world."

Cass said seriously.

"Then you're different or I saved you. Do you really think you can beat yourself?"

The witch rolled her eyes.

The witch sitting on Cass's shoulder at the moment is named Liz, a companion he met earlier in the Silver Mine.

At that time, he had just cut a **** path from the monsters in the Silver Stream Mine. As the last survivor of the Blackthorn Mercenary Group, the seriously injured Cass climbed to the hole with his own will to survive, but in the end he still managed to survive. Bleeding too much and passed out.

Before he fell into a coma, Cass thought he was doomed, but he heard an ethereal song in a trance, and then felt something warm fell on his face, which made him feel a burst of warmth.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a palm-sized girl hovering over his head with dragonfly-like wings. She sang a song and sprinkled countless shining scales on his face.

Kas grabbed her without a second thought, then pulled out a dagger with all his strength to pierce her.

"Wait...wait a minute! Human, let go, don't kill me, I'm only two hundred years old, and I'm still very young..."

In the end, it wasn't the other party's pleading that made him put down the dagger, but his own lack of physical strength. After Liz stopped singing, the little energy he had regained disappeared immediately, and he passed out again.

When he woke up again, he was already in a forest not far from the City of Thorns. The witch who had rescued him earlier hid in a tall tree and looked at him vigilantly.

The witch, Cass, was seen in the comics of the orphanage when he was a child. It is said that they are beautiful and cunning existences, and they will induce curious children to disappear into the depths of the forest fog.

However, after actual contact, Cass discovered that they are actually a very contradictory creature, both longing for the rich life of human beings, but afraid of the capriciousness of human beings. Have been in a state of wanting to touch humans and being afraid of humans

Of course, he doesn't know if all witches are like this, after all, he has only seen Liz, a witch.

"Speaking of which, are you sure it's just a turn around, and that mysterious mage is gone?"

Liz asked suddenly.

"Yeah, it only takes a second or two."

Liz swayed her calves, deliberately hitting Cass on the shoulder with her heels.

"That should be the use of teleportation magic. In this way, since the seal of the magic rune is a lightning spell, it is very likely that this magic is also related to teleportation."

"Why is the lightning spell related to teleportation magic?"

Cass asked suspiciously.

"Don't you even know this entry-level magic knowledge? The essence of thunder and lightning is a fissure in space, so whether you use summon magic or teleportation magic to open the portal, there will be lightning flashes."

Cass nodded thoughtfully, then asked.

"Then what do you think that mage means? Why did you give me this magic rune?"

"I can't stand it anymore, like why should I stay by your side."

Liz said angrily.

"You can actually go back. Although I don't have witch eyes, I can't see through the disguise of those monsters at a glance, but as long as you spend some time, you can find some..."

Kas hesitated for a while, then said.

"And then watch you die? Please, I saved you with great effort, so you can't live to the end of your life in peace and let me recycle my scale powder?"

Witch's scale powder is equivalent to an extension of their own vitality, and they can connect this vitality to other lives. But only when the life that accepted her scale powder comes to an end, can those scale powder be fully recovered. If that life died due to other accidents, about half of the scale powder would be consumed in the struggle before death.

Usually, they only sprinkle scale powder on flowers with a short flowering period. Many people see bright flowers blooming out of season, and most of them come from the handwriting of witches.

But in any case, they rarely use their life force to save those human beings who are constantly in conflict.

"I'm very grateful that you can save me."

Cass said.

"Not thank you for saving my life, but for giving me a chance for revenge."

Liz looked at the man's expression and hesitated.

"I know that my current life is not my own, but you lent me. So I assure you that I will absolutely do my best to save this life."

Kas said, and put the Demon Sealing Rune into his pocket.

"But all my former comrades in arms died in that mine, and were occupied by monsters who came from nowhere. I can't be a person who is indifferent to know this and feel at ease with ordinary people. life. So I'm not going to stop fighting until I've got the whole thing behind it all sorted out."

He said for a while, then looked at Liz and continued.

"But it's your thing after all. If you don't want to take the risk, please take away your scale powder now. Although there will be some losses, it's less than if I died on the way of revenge. A lot."

Liz looked at Cass for a long time without saying a word, and spoke viciously after a long time.

"I'm sick of it. When these things are over, you'll be a slave in my garden for the rest of your life."

After she finished speaking, she flew out angrily.
