"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

In the sky above the night market snack street, an unknown fierce battle is going on.

A purple field enveloped the surrounding area, and several artificial gemstones landed in the four corners, suppressing and sealing the rooftop. No movement could be heard.

With a "boom" sound, it was like a missile falling, rocks flying, and "Old Toad", which hit the ground with its bald head, was slapped back like a feather.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

As if he wanted to cough up his lungs, it took Feng Xingyuan a long time to spit out the stones stuck in his throat.

This ferocious maniac, in front of [Gem Witch], was in a state of embarrassment. His slippers were nowhere to be found, and the old man's shirt he had worn for an unknown period of time was torn into strips of cloth.

"We are both at level 5, how can you be so strong!"

"Unless you are...Destined One?!"

He roared in disbelief and looked at Masked Witch not far away with wide eyes. The colorful rainbow-like glow was very dazzling.

I thought they were both level 5. Even if [Gem Witch] had a bad reputation, it was still unclear who would win.

... But the final result was almost one-sided suppression.

As an Extraordinary born in Blood Worship Cult, the path he has taken and the secret skills he has mastered are all of high quality. There is no reason for this situation to happen when facing Extraordinaries of the same level.

Unless--

The opponent is the legendary Destined One!

"Are you [Trickster]? And you happen to be Destiny with the [niche] attribute?"

Twelve Destiny correspond to different Destiny Sequence.

Considering Witch's cunning and changeable abilities and domineering fighting style, the well-informed Feng Xingyuan vaguely guessed her Destiny Path.

"What's there and what's not there... what did Jiligulu say?"

Faced with Feng Xingyuan's speculation, [Gem Witch] was noncommittal, and there was no visible change in his expression behind the mask.

But this made Feng Xingyuan confirm his guess.

[Trickster], sounds ordinary.

But if this path goes deep, it will be familiar to people... the real [Magician], or even the [Demon Mage]!

--It is the kind that is often seen in fairy tales, epics and even myths. It can be as small as poisoning an apple and asking the magic mirror whether me or the flowers from Chengbei Village are more beautiful. It can be as big as being in a dream Thunder-Driving and Lightning-Controlling, making a deal with the god of death and talking to the starry sky. The omnipotent magic Mage!

Although it is still far away from that level, Gem Witch, who has mastered a few tricks, is enough to easily trample the notorious Level 5 Extraordinary, Feng Xingyuan!

No wonder [Gem Witch] can always act as a vigilante and Bounty Hunter in Tinghai City, punishing rape and eradicating evil, causing many notorious Great Extraordinarys to have headaches, but they can always be at ease.

--Level 5 Destined One! Of course he is qualified to run rampant!

The key thing is that Destiny Sequence is either lost or incomplete...

Even if he is Blood Worship Cult's Blood Robe Elder, the path he takes is only the [Blood Frog] sequence with a cap of level 6, and he cannot join the flow of destiny.

The gold content is about the same as the standard series launched by Authorities, or even a step above it!

Being able to find a Destiny Sequence that suits you Destiny speaks for itself...

Behind the opponent, there may be the unknown Colossus standing!

"[Gem Witch]...[Gem Witch], the answer is hidden in the riddle, I should have known it a long time ago!"

Feng Xingyuan is very upset.

If he had known that the other party was Destined One, he would have been bent on escaping from the beginning.

Toad, who loves to eat geniuses, finally fell into the hands of "geniuses".

Is this also a kind of fate?

"Old Toad, knowing too much... can also lead to death."

[Gem Witch] reminds me kindly, looking at Feng Xingyuan's expression becoming more and more serious.

Admittedly, the other party's guess was good.

Even the name [Gem Witch]...

It's all because of her [Trickster], the school of magic she came from [Gem Trickery], and her origin from Eastern Federation, some kind of ancient [Gem Magic].

Extraordinaries of this school believe that gems contain pure natural mysterious power that is not tainted by humans.

Later, this belief in nature derived from various secret techniques surrounding gemstones, which have various incredible effects.

These secret techniques are often extremely powerful, but the only drawback is... the cost is too high.

Expensive!

--But very few people know that Gem Witch is Destined One.

Because most of the people who knew about it are already dead.

"Hey, I am indeed no match for you!"

With his back hunched up, Feng Xingyuan suddenly and slowly lay on the ground, as if he had given up resistance.

"But if I fight you to the death... you won't feel better either!"

Then, he slowly inhaled, his belly swelled high, and his cheeks were like two balloons, filling and bulging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The belly swelled and contracted, and finally the "qi" gathered in Feng Xingyuan's throat, contracting under the skin like a living creature squirming.

"Quack... quack..."

The faint sound of frogs echoed from his chest.

Feng Xingyuan lying on the ground turned into a round ball with looming veins, ready to go.

At the same time, the huge fleshy tumor on his back quietly burst, and the dark green fog surged out like a living thing, eroding the surrounding purple field.

In the blink of an eye, the shriveled old man turned into an inhuman toad, and a devastating sense of oppression spread silently.

Through the lingering green poisonous mist, only the most primitive and cold hunting desire remained in those narrowed eyes.

"Gu... gua..."

Several dull echoes like drums came from his chest.

Then--

Like a punctured balloon, the moment the huge squirming bulge in the throat contracted, the masonry on the ground burst.

There was a "boom"!

After completing the charge, Old Toad ejected, like a meteor impact or missile bombing, heading straight towards Witch.

"Quah!!"

But in the next moment!

The missile flying in mid-air turned around and fled in the opposite direction with lightning speed.

--What age is this? Even missiles can change directions, let alone people?

The fight with Destined One is a dead end? He has just received the protection of Purple Thorn Group, but he still has a great life to enjoy!

No one would have thought that this was actually his escape route!

"You can't go anywhere."

But at the same time.

[Gem Witch] Silently took out a gem.

Red Crystal, shines with natural luster under the moonlight. Although the color is slightly turbid, it is breathtakingly beautiful, and it is much larger than any artificial "marbles".

If you want to completely kill a Level 5 Extraordinary, you must also ensure that the other party cannot escape, and half-baked artificial gems will not do.

A real gem...

"It's a big loss, it's a big loss, it's a big loss!"

He kept mumbling in a low voice, [Gem Witch] seemed to be in constant pain.

I hope this Old Toad head can be repaid.

[Gem Witch] thought with resentment, then "clicked" and inserted this real ruby into the buckle in the middle of the belt.

"Buzz!"

The belt vibrated, and then a solemn shout came out:

"Celebrate!"

This belt loudly shouted--

"Magician! My Lord is coming!"

The next moment, a red field bloomed from the masked Witch, covering the purple field just now in the blink of an eye.

Even, under the witness of moonlight...

Miss Witch transformed into a living person and began to dress up.

The black dress Witch was wearing automatically turned into a bright red dress in the blink of an eye, and even the style changed.

Noble and elegant, but with a strong murderous intention and the oppression of flames, as if the scarlet Queen is coming under the moon!

--In the blink of an eye, Witch's temperament became completely different. Those who didn't know it thought he was schizophrenic.

"This is... something!"

Just as Feng Xingyuan was about to escape, he seemed to be trapped in a quagmire. The sudden gravity around him was ten times greater, and he was unable to break free for a while.

He turned back to look at Masked Witch, who had transformed into a living person. He saw the belt surrounding Witch's slender waist at a glance, and his eyes were about to burst.

Undoubtedly Extraordinary Equipment.

Or maybe even something more mysterious...

Even with Feng Xingyuan's eyesight, I can't understand what it is...

But he vaguely felt something familiar but extremely small, like...

The supreme Secret Treasure that he once had a glimpse of in Blood Worship Cult was enshrined by Blood Worship Cult's top executives...

Forbidden Canon?

Could it be that [Gem Witch]'s belt is related to Forbidden Canon?!

"Who the hell are you!"

Breathing rapidly, Feng Xingyuan felt as if he had come into contact with some great unknown secret.

"A passing superhero."

"At the same time, he is also the most trustworthy and good neighbor of Tinghai City people."

Masked Witch said.

Witch, who had lost his expression as his heart was as steely due to excessive physical pain, looked at Feng Xingyuan like a dead toad:

"Now, count your sins."

"The first one! It caused me to lose a huge amount of property and violated the property safety of Federation citizens."

As the words fell.

Flowing flames ignited from all directions in the red field, as if Toad had fallen into the refining Alchemy Furnace.

Feng Xingyuan looked around in panic, but was surrounded by flames again.

"[Gem Trickery]The third trick--"

"Ruby, [Ignition Technique]!"

The masked Miss Witch patted the belt around his waist and declared coldly:

"Burn it, Heretic!"

"..."

It didn't take long.

The flames dissipated and the field disappeared.

When all the dust settled, Toad's figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few ashes floating in the wind under the moon.

Old Toad's last unwilling thought before his death was--

You shouldn't agree to Purple Thorn Group, and you shouldn't go after that kid...

If it weren't for him, who was discovered and arrested by Gem Witch, wouldn't he be another wanted criminal under his feet - Bai Zhou?

Rounding things off, he became the victim of selfless dedication to prevent disaster for Bai Zhou?

In the end, it was the boy named Bai Zhou who became the biggest winner despite being surrounded by blessings?

--How absurd, how ridiculous!

"Da..."

Xiao Gao followed lightly on the ground, and Miss Witch returned to the edge of the rooftop with a distressed look on his face.

"This Old Toad, what was the last thing you said in your mouth?"

"What does it mean to die for him, to die with your eyes in peace... Who is he?"

Not understanding, Miss Witch shook his head, bent down and picked up the small paper tasting bowl on the ground.

Picking up the toothpick, she put the last Octopus ball into her mouth.

The filling burst open and was full of elasticity, which relieved Miss Witch's melancholy expression and revealed a little happiness.

A fierce battle came to an end without the knowledge of the third party.

And after all this, the last Octopus small meatball in the bowl...

--Shang Wen!

The innocent Black Cat Bai Zhou, who had no idea what was going on and inadvertently accomplished the feat of driving away a tiger and devouring a wolf, was still looking at the air suspiciously.

After wandering around outside for a long time, Bai Zhou, who had the mentality of using soldiers to cover up the water and cover up the water with the earth, finally came back to join the crow.

"Welcome back."

Crow appeared on the edge of the rooftop, turned to look at Bai Zhou, and asked casually:

"The qualified Hunter will not return empty-handed. Have you gained anything else this time?"

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zhou took out the sealed Parchment Scroll:

"It was found from [Anguishola], I don't know what's inside yet."

... After checking Ritual in Crow, it was confirmed that there is no curse on Parchment Scroll.

Bai Zhou finally calmed down and took a long breath, carefully unfolding Parchment Scroll slowly.

The picture is poor, there is a clang--

The next one drops from Parchment Scroll...

Paintbrush?

"What is this?"

At the same time, the content on Parchment Scroll caught the eyes of Bai Zhou and Crow:

"The [painter] approach"!

The handwriting that appeared in front of them made Bai Zhou and Crow all look at each other and held their breath in unison.

And what appears together with the title, or even just above the title... is a three-line essay like a prologue.

Each of their characters is like an ancient "painting", painted with different colors and different painting methods. It is colorful and at the same time carries the simplicity and vicissitudes of history--

[Behind every name is a great soul imprisoned, let the lost greatness be reborn under your brushstrokes.]

[But be careful not to get lost in the painting!]

[Otherwise, you will become another lost Self-Portrait written by you...]
