"No!" Pasha shouted.
Celine pulled out her tentacles from the Instrument of Divine Retribution and knocked down two demonic hybrids. Then she was bitten by the other demonic beasts. A few wounds immediately appeared on its sarcoma-like body, and scales and gray body fluid splattered everywhere. A few agile wolf-like mutants even climbed up her rough skin and tried to bite the main tentacles at the top of her head.
The other witches drew their swords to help. Elena was the first to arrive. Like a silver light, she cut the demonic hybrids in half and then rushed into the demonic beasts to kill them. Wherever she went, blue blood splattered. The monsters that mortals feared were no better than ordinary beasts when faced with Scourge, who was not inferior to an Extraordinary. In the early stage, they were at a disadvantage in both strength and speed.
As more and more witches joined the battle, the demonic beasts were killed one by one, and the chaos finally subsided. Pasha retracted all her tentacles and quickly ran to the center of the hall, her heart in her throat.
Unlike the God's Punishment Witches who could change their bodies at will, they could not change into a new body after entering the tumor-like body. Once their bodies were on the verge of death, they could only choose to merge with Lady Eleanor.
If it were Pasha herself, she would not mind such an ending. Ever since she decided to follow Lady Natalia, she was ready to sacrifice herself at any time. But Celine could not. Among the survivors, she was the only one who had the deepest understanding of the magic core. Once they merged, they would not be able to activate the Instrument of Divine Retribution for a long time.
"Are you okay?" Pasha asked nervously as she landed beside the scarred tumor-like body.
"Well... it's not a big problem." Celine's reply made her feel relieved. "As long as the holes in my body are blocked, I'll be fine. But a few of my tentacles were bitten off. It hurts so much." "
"You should be grateful that you can still experience pain... I can't wait to relive the feeling of pain," someone shouted.
"That's right. If Phyllis heard this, she would be envious. Unfortunately, she can only get it from the spirit."
"Don't say that. She only serves the mortals for the sake of Taquila," Elena said with a frown.
"She should be called No. 76 now, right? I wonder how the Chosen One Project is going. "
"How long has it been? It's no longer the era when the Union ruled the whole territory. It's not easy to contact the witches who are hiding. We have to hold on for at least two to three years."
"Or we can hold on until the arrival of the Bloody Moon, and then be devoured by the army of demons," someone added.
"Damn it, do I have to say it out loud?"
His words caused everyone to roar with laughter.
"Calm down. We're not out of trouble yet," Alethea said angrily. "What should we do now? There's a hole on the top of our heads. If one falls, the second one will fall. Should we split into a group and guard the bottom of the hole? "
Pasha thought for a moment and then rejected this suggestion. "No, it's okay if the demonic beasts that have landed are fighting with the witches who stayed behind, but what if they turn around and attack the periphery? That way, the people guarding the entrances would be in danger of being attacked from both sides. Even with Scourge's power, it would still be dangerous. "
"I agree with Pasha." Elena nodded. "Moreover, we will be easily separated and surrounded by the demonic beasts. We won't even have a way out. Instead of fighting separately, it's better to gather in one place and guard the relic and the core in the center of the hall. As long as Celine repairs the Instrument of Divine Retribution, we can all survive. "
"I agree."
"Me too."
"No matter what, it's better than being bitten to death by demonic beasts from behind."
"Then let's do this." Pasha waved her tentacles. "Give up the bottom hole and focus on defending the magic core." "
This was equivalent to facing a swarm of demonic hybrid beasts in the center of the empty hall. Undoubtedly, what they had to face next would be a hard battle. The only fortunate thing was that the Fearful Beasts of Hell, which were too large and strong, and the unpredictable flying species could not go deep into the maze. Otherwise, the situation would be a hundred times worse.
However, she was a little worried. The number of demonic beasts was too astonishing, and the God's Punishment Witches did not have unlimited physical strength. If the Instrument of Divine Retribution could not be repaired for a long time, could they really block so many monsters?
If she had known this earlier, she would not have let Celine continue to test the core during the Months of Demons — at least not this most important core.
An hour later, the demonic beasts finally appeared at the bottom of the maze, and the battle began.
All the witches did their best. There was no doubt that the outcome of this battle would determine the survival of the human race. Pasha also joined the battle. She drew magma from the lava river and sprayed it on the heads of the black hybrid beasts. The hot and sticky red water ignited the monsters' furs, and the fire was so fierce that the air was filled with a burning smell.
Even so, they still rushed forward and insisted on charging toward the location of the relic. The God's Punishment Witches formed a wall of flesh and blood with their bodies. As long as their heads were not injured, they would not really die. Therefore, this battle was extremely fierce. Even though their bodies were bitten to pieces, it did not prevent them from lying on the ground and cutting off the enemies' legs and abdomens.
At this critical moment, Celine's excited voice came into everyone's mind. "The core calculation has been completed! The magic mode has been adjusted to Mutant Annihilation, and the Instrument of Divine Retribution is ready! "
"Pasha, leave it to me. Go and activate it!" Alethea spat out a mouthful of magma, forced the nearby demonic beasts to retreat, and jumped in front of Pasha.
Among all the survivors, her "key" was second only to Lady Eleanor's, and it was also the thickest one among those who could activate the instrument.
Pasha nailed the main tentacle to the stone slab above her head, and with a leap, she came close to the Instrument of Divine Retribution. Based on her previous experience, she stretched out all her tentacles and tightly hugged the spindle-shaped core suspended in mid-air. In an instant, the magic power in her body swarmed out, and the dark cold light emitted from the skeleton of the instrument became brighter and brighter.
She could feel her magic power condensing into a strange translucent polyhedron in the center of the spindle-shaped body — it was extremely complex, with countless edges and layers, almost indescribable in words. "This is the Mutant Annihilation Core," Pasha realized, just like the magic symbol of the Senior Witches, but with much more power. When the blue cold light turned into a dazzling pure white, the skeleton of the spindle-shaped body suddenly opened, and the center of the hall suddenly became as bright as day!
"Now!" Celine shouted.
