353: I just want to die quickly, so why should I be afraid? (Let’s call it a long chapter)

Chapter 352: Only Seeking a Quick Death, Where Does Fear Come From? (Considered a Major Chapter)

The battle was on the verge of breaking out, countless magic circles instantly lit up on the vast ground, and surging elemental magic power was wildly churning.

To prevent Alice from escaping, Dick had also locked down the space-time here in advance, with countless layers of barriers enclosing an area of a thousand miles.

Dick had meticulously planned this encirclement and kill plan for several years.

He lobbied everywhere, promising countless benefits, only then uniting the remaining four Heroes.

As early as when Alice became a Witch, Dick had already acutely sensed that something was wrong.

Dick was not familiar with this woman who was from the same hometown as him.

After all, in his youth, he was just a commoner, while Alice was the daughter of the lord's family, high above.

Dick had never thought that a Witch would one day emerge from the barren northern part of the Demon Spirit Continent.

Alice was very arrogant and had a severe tendency towards world destruction, but the most important thing was her almost invincible Level 101.

This was the sixty-sixth generation, and Dick, relying on his deep accumulation, became a world-renowned Swordsman Hero, admired by hundreds of millions.

No one was more successful than Dick; he was an unprecedented existence, yet Alice's appearance shattered all of this.

Just as Dick was about to start enjoying life and have a lot of children with Isurna, Alice started clamoring about destroying the world, utterly annoying.

Now, Isurna was eight months pregnant, and coincidentally, Alice just happened to come to the continent where Dick was to cause trouble.

Could it be that once again, I, Dick, will not have a good end?

"Heh heh, you have many people, but I may not be alone!"

Saying that, Alice raised the staff in her hand high, and a dark purple light flashed and disappeared.

"Doomsday Forbidden Spell: Corpse Tide Ghost Tree."

Crack—

The earth began to crack, countless vines broke out of the ground, and then quickly converged into a super giant tree several thousand meters high.

Countless withered branches wound above, spreading out under the moonlight, like a tree demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Dick's pupils contracted, and he immediately ordered all Mages to focus fire on the roots of the ancient tree.

However, it was too late; the forbidden spell was already formed. Wherever the tree's shadow covered, countless skeletons appeared.

They were not unarmed, but held various excellent weapons, and even rode skeleton warhorses, charging fearlessly towards the Hero troops.

These terrifying skeletons simply could not be killed; to be precise, they simply could not be killed completely.

Dick saw that as long as the ghost tree was not destroyed, the skeleton army would be endless.

"Purple Lightning One Sword!"

Dick made a decisive decision, holding his sword and leaping into the sky.

Lightning flashed, the purple sky was shaken, and a massive sword energy capable of splitting mountains and seas struck towards the ancient tree.

This was the ultimate profound meaning in Thunder God Style Swordsmanship, specially modified by Isurna. Its instantaneous power was immense, a definite Hero-killing move.

"Doomsday Forbidden Spell: Carlos Shield Wall!"

This was another magic that Dick had never even heard of, and its name was simply outrageous, daring to be named after the God of Shields.

The next second, a giant phantom several thousand meters high appeared. He was fully armed, holding a giant shield, standing in front of the ghost tree, and steadily took the full force of Dick's Purple Lightning One Sword.

Boom—

The deafening thunder exploded, the giant phantom remained motionless, completely unharmed.

Dick's face showed horror, not because his Purple Lightning One Sword was blocked, but because this giant phantom was actually the God of Shields!

In a previous life, Dick, who had become a Paladin Hero, had the good fortune to meet the God of Shields once. He looked exactly like this!

What kind of heaven-defying magic is this, that it can actually summon the phantom of a god...

No, is this even considered magic?!

There have been over a dozen Doomsday Witches in history, and none of them were as outrageous as Alice!

"Your reputation is greater than your strength, Dick Grudia. I still overestimated you. The legendary Purple Lightning One Sword... Tsk, it's nothing special."

Facing Alice's ridicule, Dick was not shaken. Instead, he immediately retreated to the back, waiting for an opportunity.

Swish!

Suddenly, a petite figure appeared behind Alice. Her name was Kaka, she was the contemporary Stealth Hero, and also an unparalleled talent of the Night Cat clan.

"Got her!"

Two short swords pierced into the back of Alice's head from behind. Immediately after, Kaka twisted her wrists, directly slicing off her entire head.

"What damn Doomsday, it's nothing special..."

However, the next second, Alice, with only half a head remaining, turned her head, her red lips slightly parted, "Even Orcs can become Heroes. This world has truly fallen."

Kaka looked at Alice in disbelief, then her figure flashed, and she immediately fled.

Alice's performance was too bizarre. Staying by her side any longer would definitely lead to trouble.

However, something even stranger happened. The faces of everyone in the Hero Allied Army all turned into Alice's face.

Including the skeleton soldiers, everyone on the field stopped their actions and looked at Kaka, saying in unison, "Good night, little kitten."

"Damn, it's an illusion. When did this happen..."

In reality, Kaka knelt blankly in front of Alice, bleeding from her seven orifices, her eyes vacant. She had actually died?!

"Don't look into that Witch's eyes," Dick roared, "As long as you look, you will die, no matter how far away!"

Dick was so scared his spine turned cold. Alice had actually just glanced at Kaka and instantly killed her. This kind of heaven-defying illusion was simply unbelievable.

Doomsday Forbidden Spell: Illusionary Day... This was still a spell that Dick had never heard of. Even the knowledgeable Dick couldn't understand its operating mechanism.

"Alright, playtime ends here," Alice yawned and said listlessly, "With you all gathered together, it saves me a lot of trouble."

An alarm bell rang loudly in Dick's heart, and an unprecedented ominous premonition rushed to his head. Staying any longer would surely mean death.

Today's decisive battle, it's likely not that the Hero Allied Army surrounded Alice, but rather that Alice surrounded the Hero Allied Army.

"Doomsday Forbidden Spell: Heart Fire Burns Bones."

As soon as this spell was cast, everyone in the Hero Allied Army clutched their hearts in pain, knelt down and rolled, and then began to spontaneously combust.

Only a few high-level professionals managed to avoid this attack by using their respective methods.

"Doomsday Forbidden Spell: Brainstorm."

The heads of the remaining high-level professionals who survived all exploded. This precise attack that ignored distance was impossible to dodge.

Glancing at the battlefield covered in body parts and filled with the smell of burnt flesh, Alice nodded in satisfaction, but soon showed a strange expression again.

"Dick Grudia, I didn't expect you to be so talented at feigning death as well."

Alice teleported next to Dick's corpse, stepped on his face with her bare feet, and said doubtfully, "To be able to evade the Doomsday Forbidden Spell, you really have good methods..."

Seeing that Alice had said this much, Dick stopped pretending. His exploded head quickly returned to its original state, and he chuckled awkwardly, begging for mercy.

"Heh heh, just a small trick to make a living. Compared to your Doomsday Forbidden Spell, it's not worth mentioning at all."

Looking at the submissive Dick, a sly smile appeared on Alice's lips, and she said meaningfully, "Want to live?"

"Yes!"

"Then perform the slave's salute to me."

Saying this, Alice gently raised her fair foot, raised her head and folded her arms, saying, "If you perform well, perhaps I will let you go."

Originally, Alice wanted to humiliate Dick and step on the so-called leader of the righteous path.

But who would have thought, Dick had no shame at all, and his slave etiquette was perfectly standard.

Alice's methods were too exaggerated. Not to mention resisting, Dick couldn't even understand them yet, so he could only temporarily yield.

"Your subservient face disgusts me. So-called Heroes are just hypocritical guys."

From the beginning, Alice never intended to spare Dick. She had already planned to kill all the Heroes.

Dick saw the killing intent in Alice's eyes, and sighed inwardly that this life was over again. He simply lay on the ground and waited for death.

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Not afraid is just not afraid."

"You're not afraid? Then I'll make you afraid. Under extreme torture, you will wish you could live but cannot, and wish you could die but cannot..."

Looking at Alice's crazy face, Dick sighed.

This life was over. Dick didn't want to waste any more time. In the next life, he would just directly kill Alice at the start.

Therefore, he now only sought a quick death, without any desire to live, let alone fear.

"Alice, although the shape of the steamed bun is rare, I think it's quite cute, rather childish..."

Hearing this, Alice was startled, and quickly noticed Dick's gaze.

"You, you can see?"

"I have quite a bit of research on visual nerve-related magic, among which perspective is the simplest..."

Splat!

Before Dick could finish speaking, his head was directly shattered by Alice's staff, fulfilling his wish for a quick death.
