Miss Witch, please don't leave your fragrance everywhere

Chapter 84 The Witch Lady and the Lich
 

The magic crystal ball is a magic item used to test the sequence that magic power can reach. Each magic school has one. Simply put, put your hand on it and inject magic power, and nine different colors will appear according to the sequence from high to low.
They are: white, gray, black, blue, red, gold, cyan, orange, and purple, corresponding to Sequence 1 to Sequence 9. Interestingly, they correspond to the colors that symbolize all Beyonders.
But Angelica doesn't like the magic crystal ball for a simple reason - why should the "white" symbolized by Coppelia be above the "black" symbolized by me! No matter from which angle you look at it, "black" should be ranked first!

Angelica placed her right hand on the magic crystal ball and injected magic power into it. The magic crystal ball immediately glowed with white light, indicating that Angelica had reached the level of Sequence One.
The person in charge and the receptionist were startled. Angelica made a gesture to silence them, indicating that they should keep quiet.
"With this outfit... could it be that you are...?"

"Well, anyway, you can trust me with your commission."
"Understood."
The person in charge no longer had any doubts. Looking at Angelica's attire and the evidence of Sequence One, she should be a Beyonder who had reached eternity. Fortunately, the Earldom of Galdelegen itself did not reject witches.

"I have two conditions. The first is that I hope the compensation will be increased a little bit."
"As long as you can successfully defeat the lich, we are willing to pay you an additional reward."
"Secondly, since I have accepted the commission, I hope that you will not issue this commission to subdue the lich to other people before I come back, and do not send anyone to the deep forest to confirm the situation."

The person in charge agreed immediately. It was a rare opportunity that a Sequence One Beyonder was willing to defeat the Lich.
Some people may wonder why the lich insists on attacking since it has not harmed anyone. The reason is simple: sooner or later, the lich will lose its mind, but no one can tell exactly when the lich will lose its mind and completely degenerate into a crazy monster.
The lich in the deep forest possesses powerful magical powers, which are almost equivalent to a time bomb next to the pillow. It must be dismantled before people can feel completely at ease.

"Well, Little Magician... no, Master Magician, I am here to provide you with the intelligence we have collected over the years. It may be helpful to you."
"No need. I can't lose."
"But it's better to be careful... Adventurers who have participated in the expedition before said that the lich seems to have a large number of familiars under his control."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"
"When they encountered a magic attack in the deep forest, there were multiple magic attacks from different angles. Afterwards, they analyzed the time of magic release and its magic sequence and found that it was impossible for the magic to be from the same target. The chanting time could not meet the minimum interval. Therefore, the lich in the deep forest may control a large number of familiars to fight in groups. I hope the magician must be careful."
Angelica listened to the advice of the person in charge and headed for the deep forest where the lich lived.
The deeper ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) into the woods, the more frequent and fiercer the magical devices on the road became. However, none of them meant to take anyone's life. They simply hoped that outsiders would give up. However, threats of this level naturally had no effect on the witch.

The witch lady was in a picnic mood, humming a little tune as she walked towards the deepest part of the forest.
"——Enough is enough."
Suddenly, a voice was heard in the deep forest. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, nor could it be determined from which direction the voice came.

Angelica stopped walking. The voice was full of warning.
"We should keep to ourselves."
"This tone... um, doesn't sound like it? Although to be honest I have forgotten what his tone was like - but you are not Albert, right?"

“?!”
When Angelica said the name Albert, the other party was obviously briefly flustered, as if wondering why Angelica knew this name.
Albert was none other than the old friend Angelica had come to Galdelegen to visit. He was also the name of the lich who lived in the deep forest, or rather, his name when he was still a human. After not seeing each other for many years, Angelica could no longer remember Albert's tone and habits. However, Angelica's dress had not changed for decades. If the other person was Albert, he should be able to recognize Angelica at once.

"…No one is welcome here, please go back."
"No matter how you think about it, I am an acquaintance of Albert's. Normally, shouldn't you let down your guard and welcome me to meet Albert?"
The other party fell into a temporary silence, probably thinking about who Angelica was. The lich Albert had lived for nearly a hundred years, so how could he have such a young acquaintance.

Angelica didn't have much patience, and she prepared to continue exploring the deep forest without thinking.
As if judging Angelica's behavior as an intruder, Angelica sensed magic being activated on the left.
Immediately afterwards, a dark purple pungent gas quickly spread in the air of the deep forest, enveloping Angelica.

"Really... I don't know who you are to Albert, but didn't Albert teach you how to entertain guests?"
If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the familiars of the lich that the head of the Adventurer's Association mentioned. The truth of "you" exposed by Angelica did not shake the people hiding in the dark. Instead, they were more surprised that Angelica stood in the poisonous fog with ease.
"Scorpius's Sequence 6 Corruption Mist can change its effects according to the needs of the user. The Corruption Mist you are releasing now is set to be a poisonous mist that can make people faint."

Angelica exposed the truth about the dark purple body. It seemed that the people from the Adventurer's Association were right. They would not make killing the invaders their first goal. They just wanted to knock Angelica unconscious and then send her out of the forest.
Until now, they still didn't understand how Angelica was immune to the fainting effect of the corrupt mist. Angelica showed a playful smile, like a bad kid planning a prank.
"I have received a commission from the Adventurer's Guild in Galdelegen. The commission wants me to defeat the lich in the deep forest, so you can be more serious."

【Witch TIPS】
In name, all Beyonders will not age or die, but Black is the only one who is truly immortal. For example, Orange's immortality can only be achieved through killing and taking the lives of others. When the lives collected by Orange are exhausted, she will lose her eternity.
