A chill ran down the Demonic Phoenix's spine as soon as she saw the little girl.
All of a sudden, it was as if time had stopped. Her magic carpet stopped moving forward.
The little girl's eyes were like whirlpools. It was easy for people to sink into them and lose themselves in them!
"Hathaway!"
"It's you!"
The Demonic Phoenix broke free from the whirlpool. She recognized the girl.
However, the fear in her heart grew stronger.
This was the instinct of a deity. The little girl in front of her was a little immature, but she was sure it was Hathaway.
Back on the Black Coral Island, the Demonic Phoenix had stolen a bit of Hathaway's blood and created a fake Hathaway with her Divine Origin.
Therefore, the Demonic Phoenix knew her very well.
When Hathaway was rescued by the legendary 12 Witches in the Land of Anze, the Demonic Phoenix felt uneasy. However, she had too many things to deal with at the time, so she had to put it aside for the time being.
The Demonic Phoenix didn't expect that she would show up while she was on the run.
…
"Voodoo Curse: Locusts!"
Hathaway opened her red lips and gazed at the Demonic Phoenix calmly.
In an instant, tens of thousands of locusts came out of the void.
The Demonic Phoenix almost fainted at the sight.
These locusts were the Ethereal Locusts from the Astral Realm!
Not only were there a large number of these locusts, but they were also very powerful. More terrifyingly, they were good at absorbing divine energy!
The Demonic Phoenix's Divine Origin was extremely weak. The amount of divine energy she could use was very limited!
Seeing that the Ethereal Locusts were about to reach her, the Demonic Phoenix abandoned the magic carpet and flew toward the east like a madman!
Hathaway must have used some kind of spell on the magic carpet. It had completely lost its spiritual nature and dropped to the ground.
The Ethereal Locusts missed their target. They turned into a gust of wind and followed the Demonic Phoenix.
The Demonic Phoenix was wearing a faint armor made of divine energy. She was in her weakest state. She really didn't want to fight against Hathaway.
She made up her mind and used a few more spells to save her life.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared a thousand miles away.
However, to her despair, not long after she escaped from the ethereal locusts, Hathaway's cold figure once again appeared on the mountain in front of her.
"You can't escape."
Hathaway's smile was very strange.
The Demonic Phoenix sensed something was not right. She reached behind her instinctively and grabbed a piece of paper with a smiley face on it!
"The ancient curse of the Anzac witches?"
The Demonic Phoenix was quite knowledgeable.
The power attached to this piece of white paper had the effect of [Pursuing Shadow]. As long as it was attached to the Ming Phoenix's body, it would be able to drag Hathaway to wherever she went.
Whoosh!
The Demonic Phoenix tore the spell off instantly.
She suddenly calmed down.
He had already escaped so far away, the others should not be able to catch up.
Even if he only had one life left, dealing with a witch who had just broken the curse would be more than enough.
There was no need for him to escape.
It wouldn't be too late to look for a hiding place after killing Hathaway.
At this thought, she calmed down a bit and said with a smile,
"You are quite confident."
"Tell me, how many other spells do you know?"
This time, Hathaway's little face suddenly turned pale, as if a very important secret had been exposed.
The smile on the Demonic Phoenix's face grew brighter at her reaction.
"Or are you saying that you've already used up all of your powerful spells?"
Hathaway snorted. Her eyes flickered with uncertainty.
…
The system of spell-casting for the Anzac witches was completely different from that of the common wizards.
They used a method called [Spell] to cast spells, which required a large number of mediums.
However, each spell was unique and could only be used once a day.
The older a witch was, the more spells she could use and the more flexible her attacks would be.
However, for young witches, who rarely traveled in this world, the rules of spell-casting did not allow them to do so. They were very powerful but also very fragile.
Witches under the age of 20 could only master six or seven spells.
Once they used up all of their spells, they would be as vulnerable as an ordinary person.
The Demonic Phoenix estimated that Hathaway had used up four spells since they first met.
The first spell was Deterrence.
The fear the Demonic Phoenix felt when it saw her was definitely the effect of the spell.
The second spell was a spell similar to the Body Fixing Spell. However, the Demonic Phoenix's body was highly resistant to body-immobilizing spells. Hathaway failed and only managed to immobilize her magic carpet.
The next two spells were [Locust] and [Shadow].
In this way, she had already used up four spells and was left with at most three spells.
How much of a threat could three curse spells pose to him?
The Demonic Phoenix found it hard to believe.
The next second, she pointed at Hathaway. She was about to counterattack with a powerful Divine Spell.
However, at that moment, Hathaway opened her mouth.
"[Witchcraft Spell: Ashes]!"
All of a sudden, the world seemed to darken. The Demonic Phoenix sensed a powerful force cutting off her connection with her followers in a brutal and direct manner.
Her divine energy was exhausted. An invisible storm came from the deep end of the darkness.
The Demonic Phoenix was sucked into the storm. Her divine energy broke down immediately!
Soon, a shrill cry came from the storm.
The Demonic Phoenix's face was peeled off bit by bit. Her hair was pulled out, revealing her blood-stained scalp!
Her skin was torn apart and her bones were pulled out by force!
On the mountain peak, Hathaway's expression was also a little ugly.
It was a bit difficult for her to use the Ashes Spell by force.
However, the Demonic Phoenix's life was in danger under the terrifying power of the Ashes Spell.
Most of her body was swallowed up by the storm. Only the last bit of her divine energy was left to protect her heart and the most important parts of her head.
Even so, she looked like a ferocious ghost.
The Demonic Phoenix was torn to pieces in the storm. She managed to get close to the edge of the storm and used the last bit of her divine energy to teleport away from the area of the storm.
She fell on the branch of a tree in a sorry state. Only her head and her torso were left.
She spat out blood. Suddenly, she let out a vicious laugh.
It was because Hathaway's face had turned extremely pale.
Since she had used a spell that was too powerful for her, she was temporarily paralyzed. She couldn't move at all.
She was in a similar state as the Demonic Phoenix. Both of them had temporarily lost the ability to fight.
However, according to the Demonic Phoenix's estimation, her ability to recover was much faster than Hathaway's.
She was merely a human being.
And the Demonic Phoenix was a god!
Though many followers had seen the Demonic Phoenix fleeing in defeat, there were still many devout followers who had started to pass on the energy of faith to her.
The energy of faith was meager and the Demonic Phoenix wouldn't care about it on normal days. However, it was very important at a time like this.
If the Demonic Phoenix had recovered one minute earlier, she could have killed Hathaway with a simple divine spell.
The two were in a stalemate.
Time ticked by.
The Demonic Phoenix's Divine Origin had started to heal her broken body. As long as a god was still alive, the Divine Origin would be able to heal her body, unless the Divine Origin was completely dried up.
The energy of faith had started to replenish the Divine Power Pond in the Demonic Phoenix's body.
The Demonic Phoenix couldn't wait. She could kill this former Heavenly Awakened, who was now a Witch of the Land of Anze, with one divine spell.
Even the smallest divine spell would be enough to end Hathaway's life!
However, the Demonic Phoenix's dream was doomed to be wishful thinking.
A shadow leaped out from the void!
His face was pale. He had been jumping between the vortexes in the Plane of Shadows and using the gravitational force of the vortexes to increase his speed. Tracking down the Demonic Phoenix was an exhausting task.
Besides, the shadow vortexes were not a good place to be. They could do terrible damage to a human body.
To Ma Wen's relief, he had caught up with the Demonic Phoenix in the end.
The Demonic Phoenix was in a miserable state.
However, Ma Wen didn't hesitate at all. He didn't care what had caused the Demonic Phoenix to end up like this.
There was only one thought in his mind.
Kill the Demonic Phoenix!
Whoosh!
With a flash of lightning, the Dark Night Beheading was activated successfully.
Bang!
The Demonic Phoenix's head fell from the tree branch. Her eyes were wide open. She had died with everlasting regret!
Her Divine Origin struggled with all its might, but in the end, it disappeared into the void in vain.
In that instant, all the believers of the Demonic Phoenix on the continent sensed what had happened.
They saw the miserable remains of the Ming Phoenix hanging on the tree branch. Marvin had mercilessly cut off the last of her life with one slash of his saber.
The Divine Spark was broken, and the Divine Flame was extinguished. The Apotheosis Ceremony had come to an end!
Many believers spat out mouthfuls of blood. Some of them became demented.
The God's Servants died instantly.
The first person who had tried to become a god on the Fernand continent since the Fourth Epoch had died in the end.
The news stirred up a storm of public opinion across the Fernand continent!
…
However, right after Ma Wen killed the Demonic Phoenix, he felt as if he was being watched by a viper from behind.
Startled, he turned around at once.
Then, he saw the girl standing on the peak of the mountain.
"Hathaway …?"
Ma Wen was dumbfounded.
Although he was older, he couldn't change that feeling.
He ran up to her almost immediately.
However, to his surprise, Hathaway was glaring at him with hostility.
"You stole my prey!"
Ma Wen was taken aback a little. Then, he smiled.
"Is that important?"
Hathaway darted a puzzled look at him. Then, she nodded heavily.
"I can only kill my enemies with my own hands. Since you killed her, I'll take your life instead. "
In the face of such murderous words, Marvin chose to ignore them. Instead, he smirked.
"What's wrong with your body?"
"Why can't I move?"
Hathaway's face turned pale.
