Your support means the world. Let's embark on these adventures together!
As witches, although they may not master many spells and their rank may not be high, their total amount of mana is often outrageous—this is also the core reason why Heidi cannot share too many spells with him but dares to give him so much mana value.
Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why they lose control during Witch's Night.
However, for now, Hawthorne doesn't need to worry about the side effects caused by having too much mana value. In any case, with their assistance, he can restore all his mana value within at most an hour and return to peak combat status!
And the remaining time will be his strongest moment of combat power!
This is the optimal solution he has drawn based on the current situation!
In the dormitory, the springtime atmosphere is in full bloom, and the ancient and sacred mana restoration ritual is being slowly performed here
...
In the Lumber Yard.
Anno and her warriors were roughly tied at the base of the wall. Her golden wavy hair was disheveled, her delicate face stained with blood, and her blue eyes were filled with humiliation as she bit her bright red lower lip, remaining silent but helpless.
Her fine plate armor had already been removed, and at this moment, she was only wearing a thin layer of cloth armor, tightly bound by rope, which exposed the curves of her body.
Especially the cleavage at her chest was tightly strung, fully revealing her plentiful shape; just a glance was enough to ignite desire.
After all, being of noble birth, although still young, she had never lacked nutrition like meat, eggs, and milk since childhood, so her body developed fully, far beyond that of a peasant girl.
Moreover, due to ample exercise, her skin did not show the plump smoothness of noblewomen; the obvious muscle lines on her arms, waist, and calves exuded a sense of strength, showcasing vigorous life vitality.
If it were ordinary mountain bandits, robbers, or gang members, capturing such a young and beautiful female knight, they would have long been unable to withstand the surge of desire, tearing off her cloth armor and violating her untouched, pure body.
But unfortunately, the ones capturing them were a group of already mad cultists. In pursuit of their elusive grand ideals, they voluntarily cut out a portion of their brains, completing a spiritual castration of themselves, thus losing all secular desires and wholeheartedly wishing to achieve their grand ideals.
"Bring one up!"
In the center of the lumber yard, a flamboyantly dressed cultist leader commanded. Beside him lay a wooden bed, surrounded by various knives, and behind him stood a large wooden statue over three meters tall, resembling a demon.
The demon had fangs and hollow eyes, but the top of its head housed a gigantic brain, more than twice the size of its lower face, engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns, looking both weird and terrifying.
Hearing the sound, the remaining cultists immediately brought up a comatose member of the Investigation Team and pressed him down onto the wooden bed. Then, the leader took out a scalpel and plunged it straight into the back of the person's head!
"Uh—!"
In an instant, the excruciating pain woke the person up, and a muffled groan escaped his throat as his entire body began to convulse, with his limbs struggling violently. But the other cultists quickly restrained his limbs, rendering him completely unable to move!
The leader, undisturbed, soon opened the man's cranium completely, extracting a living brain from within. Then he turned around and walked to the back of the statue, with a look of reverence, placing the brain into a small compartment behind it.
Blood gushed out, and the Investigation Team Warrior, from whom the brain was taken, gradually stopped struggling and breathed his last. Meanwhile, the hollow eyes of the statue suddenly emitted a bright red magical glow.
"Success!"
"Indeed, these people's brains are much more useful than those of ordinary people!"
"Quick, bring up the next one! Let's push the next one up!"
The remaining cultists cheered. These investigators were all at least second-level warriors, absolute elites, so their mental capabilities naturally surpassed those of the untrained and malnourished slum residents!
In the corner, Anno, who witnessed the whole scene, was nearly driven to the brink of breaking down: "Ugh—!"
She wanted to shout in anger and began to struggle, but with her mouth blocked, she couldn't utter a single word, and with her limbs bound, she could make no counteraction, only watching helplessly as the cultists dragged another of her comrades over and placed him on the operating table.
Buzz, buzz, buzz—
A mosquito slowly flew over, and the cultist leader quickly raised his hand and swatted it: "Smack—"
A spot of blood burst from his palm, and the mosquito instantly fell to another dimension. The leader frowned slightly, looked up, and couldn't help but mumble in dissatisfaction, "It's already autumn; why are there still so many mosquitoes..."
"That's not a mosquito."
A hoarse and piercing voice came from afar, and the cultists hurriedly knelt on one knee, their voices fervent as they shouted loudly, "We welcome the great Lord of Wisdom!"
In the corner by the wall, Anno squinted her eyes. The sun had completely set, and the crescent moon's light was somewhat dim; thus, even with her eyesight, she could only vaguely see a gigantic creature, the size of a house, slowly writhing its way over here.
Her heart raced uncontrollably, and she became conscious that this gigantic creature might be the mastermind behind everything, as well as the culprit who caused the madness that killed countless innocent civilians on the Night of the Twin Moons!
Finally, that being approached. And as she finally saw its true appearance, Anno was nearly suffocated!
What an ugly and terrifying monster it was! It looked overall like a giant brain over three meters tall, but thin flagella were sparsely growing along its brain patterns. At the very bottom, it was covered with worm-like tentacle limbs, slowly writhing as it moved its massive, bloated body towards her.
Anno only felt her scalp tingle; just a glance was enough for immense fear to surge uncontrollably from deep within her.
It was definitely it, the culprit responsible for the deaths of hundreds in the South Harbor District, and the creator of this evil cult!
I must, I must destroy it!
She anxiously encouraged herself, her palms and back already slick with sweat. At this moment, across from her, Die was still slowly moving in its true form, while a hoarse voice slowly emerged from its tiny mouthparts below: "That is an apostle of a witch, ah, I remember, she is called…"
Her voice suddenly trembled again, then she appeared immensely pained: "Ah, I can't remember, that evil witch, ah…"
The cultists immediately looked up, disregarding their Master's emotions, their expressions filled with horror: "A witch? Is there a witch targeting us?!"
