Chapter 103: Fear and change

　　 The loud rumbling noise spread throughout the empty square.
　　 The wide house collapsed in an instant, the stone pillars supporting the roof beams broke inch by inch, rubble was flying all over the sky, and the rising smoke was like a hazy curtain, blocking the sight in front of you.
But all this did not stop with the collapse of the dome. The explosions from the ground "gushed", blooming everywhere like a fountain, and the continuous impact was like a giant hand shaking the foundation vigorously, and the bluestone pavement continued to collapse. , Revealing the dark hole underneath.
　　 The demons who were originally hidden in the corner didn't even have the opportunity to struggle, and fell into it like dumplings in a pot, as if they were swallowed by an open abyss.
"damn it......!"
　　 Duncan David had already reacted the moment the mutation happened. He was shocked and angry. At the same time, there was a trace of fear rising from the bottom of his heart
　　'S fear of Willett Edward, who had originally thought that he had lost the ability to resist and had been slaughtered like meat on a cutting board.
　　 At the moment when the rock above his head fell down, what caught his eyes was the girl who fell into the ground.
　　 Although the figure of the witch was about to be swallowed by darkness, a smile appeared on her face.
　　 That is a fearless smile, like a flower blooming on a cliff.
　　 Recalling the shocking scene, Duncan David understood: Not only now, he has always been afraid of this witch who has been despising from the bottom of his heart.
The other side of 　　 contempt is actually jealousy, just as people who are timid and uneasy by nature tend to show arrogance unconsciously in front of others.
Duncan should have realized this a long time ago: He was afraid of the perseverance and belief of the other party. He obviously lacked talents as a wizard, but he could still get to this point. Without the acquiescence of the teacher, Willett is likely to be cruel It is indeed a fact to be eliminated from the competition; however, if the person standing in that position is not her, she should be replaced by anyone else-even if she is herself, I am afraid that she would have been abandoned long ago.
　　How can I forget... Duncan couldn't help but regret it. Willett is a woman who can use her life as a bet to win in a duel!
　　Villette is different from other wizards, but in the past, she only saw her shortcomings, but ignored the terrible aspects that such a personality could bring.
　　In the eyes of Duncan David, it was obvious that after losing all hope, the other party abandoned himself, fell into madness, and wanted to avenge him at all costs. Even if you sacrifice your life, you must drag yourself into hell.
　　 It was impossible for the seriously injured opponent to fail to this point, but she deliberately chose this place as a hiding place, and buried explosives that could detonate everywhere, waiting for herself to step into it.
　　 This kind of alchemy items that can only be used in siege battles are "forbidden to circulate" on the magic tower, which is difficult to obtain, but the advantage is that they do not need to be cast, so the opponent can use a little magical power to detonate them.
　　Villette used herself as a bait and chose to use this place as a trap. She was placing a bet, betting that she would not kill her immediately, and that she would enter this place that might be bombed to the sky at any time to convince her. In other words, this woman planned to kill herself from the beginning!
　　 This crazy girl...
　　 Duncan David cursed secretly, and at the same time his body retreated quickly.
　　 Layers of ground under his feet were sunken and broken, the roof beams above his head were broken, and countless broken stones fell like a rainstorm.
　　 When this is a broken wall, if he can't escape in time, he will also be buried under the ruins, right?
　　 Duncan David has no time to release the barrier magic, so he can only use the defensive effect of the alchemy items on his body to fight against it.
But the problem is that this explosion was carefully calculated. First of all, it shattered the ground, making him lose his footing at the beginning. He can only use flying skills to keep him from falling, but it is very dangerous in this state. There is no way to dodge in time, only to carry it hard.
　　 Fortunately, the distance from the inside to the outside of the house is not too far for a high-level wizard. Even if he became a target, he retreated to the outside in the blink of an eye without being hurt.
　　 However, it wasn't until this time that Duncan David noticed in shock: The explosion affected not just the house, the street outside the house, and even the entire square, were sinking.
　　Villette......!
　　 Duncan David gritted his teeth, knowing that he still underestimated the other's mind and determination.
　　 In fact, when the witch was successfully attacked by herself for the first time, she had already thought of the decision to take her own life as a bet and die with the enemy, and set a trap in advance.
There are a lot of steam pipes on the bottom of the magic tower. This place is not too far from the power furnace in the core area. The explosion is likely to cause greater disaster. Now he needs to find a stable foothold and confirm that it has fallen to the ground. Is the witch really dead?
　　 The young wizard looked at the large black shadows falling above his head, but could not make up his mind.
　　 Willett can obtain and carry contraband with him, he naturally has a back hand, and it is handed to him by Teacher Green himself, and can use alchemy weapons that surpass the power of higher ranks.
　　 It’s just that the thing is too loud when it is used, in case it gets noticed...
　　 But if this continues, he will no longer have a foothold when this area is completely destroyed. And more importantly, Duncan David thinks it is impossible to find the other party in a short time under this situation.
　　 Although he felt that in this situation, the chances of Willett's death were greater...but Duncan did not dare to bet the risk of being a traitor on the odds.
　　 At this time, a huge black shadow rose high from behind Duncan, and approached so fast that people could not react for a while. Duncan David did not choose to turn around, but already raised his hand subconsciously
　　 "Mr. David, stay calm. It's me."
　　 There was a gentle voice from a certain man.
　　 Duncan grumbled. This kind of magic that can speak to people's ears is called "secret communication". It is a kind of magic that produces communication effects between specific groups and only works within a certain distance. So naturally he knew the person who spoke, but Duncan didn't have any thoughts at all.
"......What do you want to do?"
　　 The youth quietly grasped the "weapon" Marion Green handed him, and said in a deep voice in the magic communication.
　　 "Don't worry, just relax your body."
There was a "rusty" noise from Duncan's side, like a serpentine snake crawling on the uneven sand. Only then did he see the real body of the "black shadow", which turned out to be a huge The blue-black arms and feet, judging from the numerous opening and closing "small mouths" all over them, are part of the body of living creatures.
　　 He thought for a while, temporarily gave up the resistance, let the black shadow entangle his whole body, and pulled him back from mid-air to a solid ground, which was the roof of a building in the distance.
　　 As expected, a young man wearing a monocle and a tuxedo was looking at him with a smile, and when he saw him on the ground, he politely bowed to him.
"Problems?"
　　 Duncan David frowned and looked at him unhappily.
　　 "Didn't I tell you this matter to be handled by me so that you can keep your distance?"
　　 While he was speaking, he glanced calmly at the arm and foot that had fallen off his body, watching it quietly retract into the darkness behind the young man.
　　 Duncan David can't see what is hidden in the darkness, but just a touch of a foot has such an amazing power, you can imagine the huge body.
　　A monster with this size is by no means a general thing, but at least a high-risk species or even a super-dangerous species...
　　 This guy came here with confidence, as expected, he was not relying on a group of walking corpses who could only eat people.
　　 "But now ~EbookFREE.me~Mr. David, you obviously have a little trouble."
　　 The young man didn't feel angry because of his impoliteness, he just explained with a smile.
　　 "And our time is running out."
"......how do you want to do it?"
"I have conveyed what I should say to you. The rest is to you back to Lord Green and deal with witnesses. Mr. David, are you worried that the woman will leak the secret? Rest assured, I will take care of it. Yes, and it won’t show the slightest hint."
　　 Without waiting for Duncan's response, he snapped his fingers. The black tentacles of the giant monster once again shot toward the smoke-covered place like an arrow from the string.
"By the way, for the latest magic experiment, let her have an ending that matches this place. For example, how about being infected into a irrational monster? Going deep into the plague zone, a brave attempt to solve the source of the plague, The kind witch who saved people accidentally became one of the dead in this disaster. This is so reasonable that no one will doubt it."
　　……
A few minutes later, the wrists and feet dragged a blond girl covered with a lot of dust and blood from the broken ground. Duncan guessed that this demon's wrists and feet might be covered with some kind of extremely sensitive sensory organs, so To succeed easily-the witch's face was pale, her eyes closed tightly, and she was obviously in a coma because of her serious injury.
　　 But, at the moment when he saw Willett, Duncan David didn't have the thought of "I can finally breathe out now."
"......what is that?"
　　 Mr. Crowley, who had always been smiling, became serious this time.
　　 Because the girl’s body is shining with an extraordinary red light
