Chapter 57 Reality and Falsehood Pandora the Witch!
"Can we stop here? Although that guy has a brain problem, he is very strong. It would be a pity if he died here casually."
What appeared in front of Du En was a girl with stunning beauty, long platinum hair, and wearing a white sleeveless shawl coat that was not too fancy.
The girl looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her fair legs were exposed under her coat, and she was walking barefoot on the wet ground.
The girl who suddenly appeared in front of Du En showed a smile that could easily win others' favor.
So fake!
It is not a smile that comes from the heart at all, but an expression that is only shown to deceive and confuse others.
Moreover, from the moment he caught a glimpse of this smile, a voice sounded in his heart, as if to say: This child is not an enemy.
For a moment, Du En's vigilance reached its peak.
"Who are you?"
He didn't put down his weapon just because the other party was a beautiful girl. If it were just Du En, he might still hesitate a little. Men are such creatures.
However, that girl was sending out danger signals all the time, and if you were not careful, you might get into her trap.
Already considering the girl as a threat like the priest of the Witch Cult in his heart, Du En left the decision to the instinct of his body.
So, he raised the sword in his hand.
Unexpectedly, Du En's determination was stronger than he thought. The girl with long platinum hair frowned slightly and raised her hand to stop Du En's movement: "I have no intention of being an enemy of you, stranger.
.”
"Actually, I'm not good at fighting. Judging from your performance when fighting Regulus just now, there are only a few people in this world who can compete with you."
"I have no intention of becoming an enemy of a being who is ranked number one in this world."
The word "foreigner" in the girl's mouth made Du En feel moved. He didn't know what she wanted to express. Du En always felt that it was not that simple.
So, Du En said: "In that case, how about making way for me, little sister? I have a reason to kill the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult."
"Or are you also one of the Sin Archbishops of the Witch Cult?"
Little sister?
Du En's name made the girl look a little unhappy. Her age was not as young as it seemed.
However, she still said patiently: "Although you are very strong, you don't understand Regulus' power. Even you can't kill him easily, right?"
"Indeed, if the lustful priest doesn't lose his fighting spirit, the outcome of my fight with him will be 4 or 6 at most, and I will win 4 or 6. But now, he doesn't even have the courage to fight, and my possibility of victory has been infinitely magnified.
, in this case, why should I give up this opportunity to win easily?"
Du En's rhetorical question made the girl sigh softly: "So, you are not going to give up, are you?"
"That's right."
After answering like this, Du En's expression became solemn, he clenched his swords in a defensive posture.
He originally thought that he would end up fighting with the girl, but the girl's response was beyond his expectation.
"It would be troublesome for me to change too many things. After all, I am not that witch. However, the things within my authority are still fine."
"Well, let's change the setting to this - the Sword Master who killed the White Whale, after a fierce battle, defeated the Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult who attacked the Oni Village.
Regulus Corneas, however, was too seriously injured and had to give up his plan to continue the pursuit."
Looking at Du En with a smile, the girl asked: "What do you think of this ending? It prevents innocent people from getting hurt, and also prevents you from continuing to fight with Regulus."
The moment the girl's voice fell, Du En felt a mysterious force acting on him, trying to tamper with his memory. Some memories that should not belong to him emerged in his mind.
In the memory that suddenly emerged, Du En fought with Regulus in a losing battle. Although he defeated the other party, he was also severely injured by the other party's power.
And as this memory gradually became clear in Du En's mind, the injuries that should have belonged to the false memory also appeared on his body one by one.
Just when Du En's memory became completely chaotic and was about to drift into that false memory, two voices emerged in his mind.
"senior!"
"Master!"
Familiar voices and somewhat unfamiliar voices sounded in Du En's mind at the same time, and his originally chaotic consciousness suddenly became clear.
"Sword blast and draw sword——"
Almost subconsciously, Du En slashed at the girl in front of him with his sword.
When Du En regained consciousness completely, what he saw was the body of the girl in front of him who had been cut in half by his own sword, with disbelief still in his eyes.
Did he kill the other party?
Although the power of his sword just now was quite impressive, the opponent couldn't even catch his sword, right?
A trace of doubt flashed through his mind. In fact, he just said a few words and the other party didn't do anything to him. Could he have been too harsh?
However, when Du En came back to his senses and noticed the changes in himself, he was stunned.
Although the previous battle with lust was dangerous, Du En, who had learned a lesson once, had been much more careful, and there were at most some scratches on his body.
But now, the injuries that appeared on his body were not just scratches. They were not much more than the injuries he suffered when he fought Regulus for the first time.
And all of this is just a few words from that girl.
Just a few words almost tampered with his memory of the battle with Regulus, and almost caused him to be even more seriously injured than he was now.
In that false memory, Du En's injuries were much more serious than now, and he was just a hair away from dying.
Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
"Thank you, Matthew!"
If it weren't for Matthew's reminder, he would probably have fallen into the other party's trap now. Logically speaking, with A-level anti-magic power, it would be impossible for him to have his memory tampered with just a few words. But in fact, with A-level anti-magic power, he
It only delays the time for the false memory to take effect, and it does not completely immunize it.
"Is it a mystery higher than B-level magic?"
As he muttered to himself, Du En's expression became a little heavy. Fortunately, such a powerful enemy died in his sneak attack because of his carelessness.
Obviously the other party didn't expect that he could actually break free from her power.
Now Du En has determined that the other party must also be a certain priest of the Witch Cult, who has the ability to tamper with memories and reverse the false and the true.
"Senior, it's not me you have to thank. If it weren't for Ms. Musashi, I wouldn't be able to wake you up so easily."
Miss Musashi? Could it be that...
"Hey, Master, long time no see. Is my body still functioning well?"
Hearing another voice in his mind, Du En's face lit up with joy.
"Musashi!?"
"That's right, didn't I promise you? As long as it's for you, I will come back to help you no matter when and where."
"So, leave it to me for the time being!"
Musashi's serious voice made Du En stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and looked forward.
In front, the girl's body that was supposed to be lying had disappeared.
"Is there no way to tamper with the memory? This is really troublesome."
The voice appeared behind Du En, only one step away from Du En.
"In this case, there is nothing we can do."
The girl who should have died stood unscathed behind Du En and said to herself: "As a witch, although she is not good at fighting, she can still control some people."
"There are only three priests closest to here. Even I can't do anything about the ones that are too far away."
"Summoning in the name of Pandora, the witch of pretense——"
"The Slothless Priest, Pettychius Romanee-Conti.
Gluttony Priest, Rai Badenkaitos.
Priest of Lust, Regulus Corneas.”
As if the words became reality, the next moment, three figures appeared in front of Du En out of thin air.
