Weird and sharp laughter reverberated throughout the small world. The torn space gap had not completely healed. The golden net and sparks were still faintly visible. The toad squatting in the center of the magic circle had a droopy mouth.
With a blue-black tongue, his bulging eyes were half-squinted, staring in the direction of the golden touch. His voice was the same as his tongue, full of sticky and lazy taste, making people feel itchy all over after listening to it.
a feeling of:
"Hehe... that ewe has landed in the 'right' place... then... we need to speed up a little bit."
After saying this, one of his eyes turned back to the front and fell on the two witches in front of him. Korma's eyes turned white, and there were a few more strands in her hair at some point.
Pale, her whole body was like a sugar-coated medicine, exuding a bitter breath from the inside out. Elena still held the silver knife in one hand, half of her body was covered with bright red sheep blood, and
Her long burgundy wavy hair contrasted with it, revealing a strange beauty.
The other eye of the toad purred and turned in another direction, aiming at a witch outside the magic circle and the black cat beside her.
To be precise, his attention was mainly focused on the black cat.
"As a reward for attracting...coming...now, tell me your wish, wizard."
The toad grumbled a slimy voice, and his eyes revealed cruelty and greed, but this did not mean that he would violate the rules set by the receiving circle. According to the rules, while receiving the corresponding sacrifices, he would also satisfy the sacrificers.
a certain desire.
"The great and secret existence..."
"The gods wandering deep in the starry sky..."
"I am here to dedicate my body, my soul, my everything..."
"Praying to you..."
"I pray that you will guide the magician on the way forward..."
Kolma's voice was a little hoarse, but her tone became more determined. As a registered wizard, she already had enough knowledge and would not expect a limited contract to cost an outsider too much.
She only hoped that she could sum up all her hopes in one concise sentence before this being exhausted his last bit of patience.
"You are not the 'Black Goat of the Forest that gave birth to thousands of descendants'," a weak but very sure voice from the other side of Kolma interrupted Kolma's words, and cracks appeared on Elena's white mask.
, but her eyes were still clear. After hearing Kolma's prayer, she gritted her teeth and repeated, emphasizing: "You are not the goddess of darkness and abundance!"
The giant toad looked down at the two witches, as if he didn't intend to say his name, but just said "hehe" and let out a series of weird and harsh sneers.
Kolma, who was lying on the ground, was silent for a moment without raising his head. He just raised the copper plate in his hand higher. The 'jelly' stained with spiritual blood in the plate was squirming crazily and changing into various shapes.
But it has never been finalized, like an ooze monster.
The witch repeated the previous prayer in a dry but firm voice:
"The great and secret existence..."
"The gods wandering deep in the starry sky..."
"I am here to dedicate my body, my soul, my everything..."
"Praying to you..."
"I pray that you will guide the magician on the way forward..."
…
"Hey, hey... what a greedy and cute mushroom." The toad's laughter was mixed with unclear sounds, which made it particularly difficult for the witch who was trying to hear his words clearly. His metaphors were also very strange.
, which is horrifying to hear:
"You offer sacrifices and pursue your desires... Hehe..."
"Life, wealth, fame, power... hehe..."
"Other mushrooms are very greedy, but their requirements are very low..."
"Your greed is very small, but your demands are very big...hehe."
"Seeking truth for a group of terminally ill people..."
Different voices intertwined, as if dozens of people spoke at the same time, but they reverberated and merged into one, making people feel chest tightness and heart palpitations.
The toad looked into the eyes of the witch beneath him, and raised his eyelids slightly, letting more of the eyes leak out, as if he wanted to see more clearly, to see clearly what kind of soul was so greedy and unbridled in front of him.
.
Kolma's body trembled slightly under the gaze of the outer god, but the copper plate he held in his hand did not move at all, and he lifted it higher. Elena was horrified to find that Kolma's arms were completely free from the restraints of the joints.
Controlled by a twisted force, it was lifted upwards.
She wanted to scream, but found that only the thoughts in her mind were still flowing slowly throughout her body.
"The sacrifice...accepted."
"The way you asked for..."
"for you…"
The toad's green-black tongue shot out like a spring, heavily imprinting on the forehead of the witch's soul, leaving a black, winding trace like a tadpole.
The witch's spirit fell into a trance for a moment.
A majestic voice echoed in her spiritual world:
"... There are many roads to extraordinary power... You don't have to always follow the widest river... Sometimes, the narrow and twisty curves are the right 'road'..."
"...Sacrifice in exchange for the power to cast spells..."
"...This is a fair deal..."
"Also an ancient power."
At the same time, an irresistible force spread out from the void, tightly binding the witch's soul and body, and began to drag it deep into the void.
The witch suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a hint of fear and anger in her eyes: "I haven't left a way for them yet! You can't take me away!! You violated the sacred contract!!!"
The huge toad squatted under the shadow of the gorgeous arch, its eyes narrowed to a slit at some point, staring at the witch with a look full of playfulness and boredom:
"Hey, hey... contracts are not sacred."
"The road has been given to you..."
"Appetizers are over."
Before he finished speaking, the originally quiet magic circle trembled violently, the surrounding air trembled, and the whole small world also trembled. The sun and moon hung upside down, the forest stood upside down in the void, the sun was buried in the earth, and the moon shone with bright yellow light.
, hanging honestly on the back of the big toad, replacing the collapsed arched door.
It's like an eyeball, supervising everything in this world.
After finishing the 'work' he was summoned to, this uninvited guest finally got rid of the shackles of the magic circle on the rules and gained room for further activities.
The other eye, which was always staring at the witch and the black cat outside the formation, slowly and laboriously raised its thick eyelids, slowly opened it, like a smaller moon, emitting a luster that chilled everyone.
