The Death List Novel - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Witch Maya
The witch’s cabin was located in a clearing in the forest. It did not occupy much land. It had a two-story civil structure and looked like a small earth fort.

At this moment, the oval-shaped wooden door of the witch’s cabin was tightly shut, and it was completely silent.

The werewolves raised by the Albert family were standing on a tree branch on the edge of the clearing. The wolf claws were tightly clasped to the tree trunk, and it gritted its teeth and roared at the hut in a low voice.

“Doctor Stan, stay here. Frank, protect your master!” After observing for a while, Oddo turned around and instructed, “Bonny, Bly, let’s go take a look!”

Qin Lun nodded calmly. Although Bly was the youngest, he was still a combatant. The doctor was a logistical staff, and Frank was only the doctor’s personal attendant. Oddo’s arrangement was not a problem.

Oddo, Bonny, and Bly spread out and surrounded the witch’s cabin. Bonny gestured to the werewolf, and the beast immediately stretched its muscles and squatted down on the tree branch.

This tree was only twenty meters away from the witch’s cabin. It was high above the ground and the werewolves moved like the wind. It was the best all-round cover to prevent the three exorcists from being attacked by surprise.

“Bang!” Just as the three of them approached the witch’s cabin, they saw the wooden door of the cabin shatter. A colossus rushed out of the room and pounced on Bonny, who was in the middle of the three of them.

At the same time, the windows of the second floor of the witch’s cabin opened wide, and a rustling sound came from the grass on the left side of the clearing. Two black shadows pounced towards Oddo and Bligh, respectively.

At that moment, the three exorcists were actually in danger at the same time. It seemed that the witch opposite them was already prepared. Not only did she not escape from the cabin, she decided to meet the exorcist squad here instead.

“Ao!” A wolf howl rang out from the open space. The Albert werewolves stomped on a tree branch and rushed out of the air like lightning. Their claws pressed down on the colossus in front of Bonny and rolled on the grass.

The three exorcists who had been prepared earlier did not launch their attacks immediately. They rolled backwards at the same time and evaded the sudden attack in an orderly manner. It seemed that they were quite knowledgeable in dealing with this situation, and even Bly might have done this kind of evasion training frequently.

Qin Lun opened his eyes wide and looked at the three new evil creatures with interest.

The giant tangled with the werewolf was human-shaped, green-skinned, and nearly 3.2 meters tall. It was surrounded by two pieces of deer skin on its chest and waist. Its limbs were thick, and a pair of praying fan-sized hands were four times the size of a human’s. It should be a giant demon among the exorcist population.

This troll’s chest seemed to be bulging with a female troll, but its facial features were ugly, its teeth were black and yellow, and its waist was like a giant pillar. It did not conform to human aesthetic standards at all.

Compared to the trolls, the black figure that rushed out of the attic of the cabin was much smaller and more exquisite. It was like a raptor, covered in grayish-brown bird feathers. Its lower body was a pair of three-toed bird claws, but it was several times larger than an ordinary bird claw, and its tip was as sharp as a hook.

Surprisingly, its head was actually a beautiful human beauty. This was a rare eagle among evil creatures.

The eagle-shaped man missed Oddo’s attack. He jumped on the ground and flew into the air again, his wings flapping across the heads of the exorcists.

Of the three exorcists’ attacks, Bly was the most dangerous. The evil creature that ran out of the grass on the left side of the clearing was a ferocious human-faced mantis.

This evil creature had a human male face, its lower body was a mantis, its arms shone with a black metallic luster, and its lower edge was as sharp as a guillotine. If it hacked into a person’s body, it would definitely be a complete cut-off. Just like the unlucky man who was attacked by the scorpion last night, he didn’t even have a chance to be treated.

“Exorcists, do you want to tear up the thousand year contract?” A silhouette walked out of the big hole in the door of the cottage, and a soft and beautiful female voice sounded from the clearing in the forest.

She was a Mayan witch? Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

No wonder Qin Lun was surprised. This witch’s black hair was like a waterfall, and her face was beautiful. He wore a feather coat woven of grass and a flower crown. If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t have sharp ears, he would have thought that this was the elven priestess in the forest of moonlight.

This was far different from the ugly, stooped, crow-like witch Qin Lun had in mind.

“Evil witches, the one who broke the thousand year contract is you!” Oddo winked at Bonnie, and the two of them shouted and threw themselves at the witch.

They hadn’t expected that this witch would have three evil creatures left behind after sending out so many evil creatures. No wonder she wasn’t afraid of a few exorcists at all, instead, she was waiting for them in the cabin.

The two experienced exorcists immediately realized that they couldn’t drag out the battle for too long, and that they had to finish it quickly. The evil creatures on Nova’s side were mainly composed of stone statues and ghosts. Without the witches’ conscious command, the magical creatures’ combat power would be greatly reduced. It was not a problem for them to win.

However, the exorcist army was still half a day away from here, so they definitely wouldn’t be able to drag it out for this long. Moreover, it was already close to dusk, and the sky was slowly dimming. Even if Nova and the others rushed here, the witches had already defeated them and used the darkness to escape from the scene.

The only chance for Oddo and the others to win was to gather their strength and quickly defeat the witches.

The troll’s strength was enormous. It was a very good meat shield, but now, it was restrained by werewolves. The human-faced mantis was very aggressive, but its body was not flexible. Bly would be fine if he was careful. As for the agile eagle, he had a single method of attack, and even if he was caught a few times, he wouldn’t be able to kill him, so he could temporarily ignore him.

The beautiful witch sneered when she saw Oddo and Bonny pouncing on her.

Compared to exorcists, witches were often the weaker side. If it weren’t for the fact that most of their hiding places were inaccessible and their living conditions were too harsh, they would have been completely annihilated a thousand years ago.

During the years of war, the witches had learned to use their brains to fight against the exorcists, not to act recklessly, while summing up the lessons of their failures. Most Mayan witches spend a lot of energy setting traps and spies around their cottages in case they are surrounded by exorcists without knowing it.

Qin Lun and the others had already dealt with quite a few traps along the way. Of course, they had already revealed their whereabouts long ago. However, this Maya witch was completely focused on monitoring Nova and the others, and did not notice the danger signal coming from the magic crystal ball.

Until Bly touched the man-eating flower, it was also a small trap. The sudden gunshots shocked the witches, and they finally discovered this small group of exorcists who were acting alone.

In fact, Bly had fallen into the cannibal trap, which not only brought great trouble to the exorcists, but also put the witches in a dilemma.

The witch’s first thought was to abandon the cottage and flee into the depths of the forest. However, as an important source of information for Witch Maya, her cabin contained a lot of important information. No matter what, these things could not fall into the hands of the exorcist.

Most of this information contained evidence of witches returning to the human world. There was even information sent by witches who had infiltrated the human world, as well as letters from human spies who had been bribed by witches. Some of the letters could be burned, while others had magical seals that could not be destroyed in a short period of time.

Apart from that, there were also a lot of human studies on evil creatures and large-scale research on lethal dark magic in her cabin. Once she gave up on the cottage, she would start over from scratch. Moreover, these items could not be completely destroyed. As long as some fragments of evidence entered the hands of the exorcists, the exorcists would have an excuse to circumvent the thousand year agreement and even mobilize the human army to surround the Maya witches.

This era was not a thousand years ago. The witches hiding in the corners of the world no longer paid attention to humans at all times. They found that their judgments were half correct and half wrong.

The right half was that the Exorcist Organization was no longer at the top of the human world like it was a thousand years ago.

Along with the development of the times, they slowly began to weaken, returning the ruling power of the world to ordinary humans. They were no longer able to mobilize human armies anytime, anywhere, like before. Some exorcists began to be tainted by riches and honor, becoming hunting dogs for bounty and power, losing their firm belief in protecting the world.

The half that was wrong was an ordinary human that had been ignored by witches, and it displayed a powerful technological power. Firearms, cannons, stone castles over a hundred meters tall, powerful battleships across the ocean, gigantic iron beasts that can jet …

The witches suddenly realized that they no longer knew this world. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the exorcists and witches would disappear from this world and become ordinary members of the human world.

Under this indestructible fact, the witches split. Some witches thought that they should give up unrealistic ideas and reintegrate into the human world to become a new witch of a new era.

As for the other witches, they believed that the more powerful human technology was, the more fragile their hearts would become. They needed to develop large-scale destructive dark magic, create horrible incidents, provoke humans to kill each other, and redirect the lost faith human world in the direction of darkness.

The Maya witch was the Dark Witch who held the latter view. Therefore, the witch who was sent to the outskirts of the Maya Forest to monitor the Audi region understood that as long as there was a sliver of room for salvation, she could not leave any evidence for the covetous exorcist.

As a result, there were only five exorcists who came looking for trouble through the crystal ball. Among them, there was a youth and a coachman. She immediately decided to stay to face the enemy. At this time, she was glad that out of caution, she had left three helpers near the hut.

Looking at the two exorcists pouncing towards her, the witch waved her right hand and a long wand appeared under her crotch.

Whoosh! It was as if the witch was sitting on a small rocket and suddenly leapt upwards.

“It’s too late to run now, isn’t it?” Oddo sneered and reached into his arms, pulling out a carved scroll and crushing it.

A yellow light drew an arc from Oddo’s hand and landed on the witch.

“Ah!” The witch instantly felt a heavy earth mountain on her body. With a strange cry, she fell from midair.

“Zheng!” A cold light flashed in Bonny’s eyes, and he pulled out two swords from his waist. The small steps under his feet suddenly accelerated, and his body turned into a streak of lightning. Grass fragments flew everywhere he passed, like a tornado dragon.

Qin Lun, who was watching the battle from afar, could only feel two bright sword lights crisscrossing each other in his field of vision, like a flood dragon with its mouth wide open, fiercely biting the witch …
