Chapter 63: The True Face of Saimel

  "Damn it!!" Du Wei cursed loudly, he pushed away the mercenary closest to him, then pulled out a dagger from his body, and without hesitation, stabbed it into the mercenary's thigh!

  He hoped the pain would wake this guy up... but Du Wei was disappointed again!

  That guy was stabbed in the leg, but seemed to be completely unaware of it, struggled to get up, crawled up, still ignoring Du Wei, stumbled and staggered towards the lake, his leg leaving a trail of blood on the white snow...

  Du Wei was almost desperate, he cast several spells in a row, but the fireball couldn't be shot that far... The ghost on the lake surface was at least 500 or 600 steps away from the shore!

  Du Wei hasn't mastered the wind system's flight technique yet, otherwise he would have flown over and thrown fireballs already!

  Spiritual magic! This is his mother's spiritual magic!!

  Du Wei anxiously searched his mind for all the information he had about spiritual magic, but what made him helpless was that among the few magics he mastered, there was no mention of spiritual magic. Spiritual magic is a kind of magic that only mid-level mages and above can master. With Du Wei's current strength, he was still far from reaching that point.

  I have to do something! Watching the second mercenary jump into the ice cave, Du Wei slapped himself hard and ran forward at the fastest speed. He pounced on a mercenary, tied his legs with a rope prepared for capturing wild beasts, and then pulled the rope to tie up another one...

  Although Du Wei tried his best, he was alone after all, and only managed to tie up three people, but two mercenaries had already walked into the ice cave!

  Du Wei gasped for breath and shouted loudly: "What the hell is this thing!!"

  "It's an attack spell of 'Mystic Lake Witch'." Came Semel's voice from behind.

  Du Wei suddenly turned around and saw Xime standing behind him, wearing a red robe. However, the woman's face was complex, and it was unclear whether she was fearful or surprised. Du Wei could even see that her red robe was trembling slightly, as if her heart was also extremely unquiet!

  "Saemel! Dammit! What took you so long to come out!" Du Wei bellowed loudly: "Do you know what this thing is? What the hell is it?! How can we crack it?! Dammit! These mercenaries are almost all dead!"

  Saimel's eyes, however, revealed a look of bewilderment. She seemed to be in extreme distress as she tightly hugged her head: "I... I think I know... I think I've heard it before. What's wrong with me?! What's going on?! Why do I know what this thing is called?! Why... there seems to be so many things in my brain..."

  "I don't have time to care about what's going on in that damn brain of yours!" If Semir were a real person, Du Wei would probably have already grabbed her collar and yelled at her. Unfortunately, Semir was just a shadow, so Du Wei could only glare at her: "Hurry up and tell me! How do we deal with this thing?!"

  Du Wei let out a loud roar, his hands not stopping as he quickly used the rope to tie up Bainingrich and Dadaniel, slowing down their advance. He even took a deep breath, pulled out a knife, and pounced on each mercenary's side, giving them a ruthless slash on the leg!

  Even if you cut off the other person's leg and make them unable to walk, it's still much better than jumping into an icy pit yourself!

  "Think of something, Semmel! Think of something, damn it!!" Du Wei exerted himself to knock down a mercenary, and the two rolled on the ground. Du Wei panted, fiercely stabbing his dagger into the mercenary's calf. His hands were covered in fresh blood, and he wiped his face with force.

  Xia Mei looked at Du Wei in a daze, but when she saw Du Wei's face covered in blood, staring at her with a fierce gaze, and heard the urgent voice...

  Suddenly, a strange light flashed in Semer's beautiful eyes! Immediately, the fear and pain on this woman's face disappeared, she stood up abruptly, and a deep emptiness emerged in her eyes!

  Then, the beautiful woman slowly walked towards the lake, her bare feet, her bright red cloak fluttering lightly, and with her back to Du Wei, she slowly raised her hand...

  A sharp, piercing cry echoed from Semer's mouth!

  That sound was like a sharp knife, suddenly and fiercely piercing into Du Wei's brain! The sound was clearly so pleasant to hear... but listening to it made one's head ache as if it were about to pierce through your temples!

  This almost bone-penetrating... no, it's even soul-piercing pain suddenly made Du Wei's whole body tremble! He even felt that all the hairs on his body stood up!

  The voice in Semir's mouth was incessant, and this voice seemed to contain a string of strange, awkward words and notes! Du Wei could be certain that it was definitely a magical spell!

  Saimel's voice immediately drowned out the ghostly voice from afar on the lake! The mercenaries who were still wandering around in the snowy ground also stopped in their tracks, each of them shuddering. Then everyone suddenly collapsed to the ground!

  It was as if they had woken up from a nightmare, and after everyone fell to the ground, they all let out a loud scream! Saimel's voice enveloped everyone's ears, mind, and even soul! Everyone desperately covered their own ears with their hands, but that terrible piercing pain still couldn't be suppressed by half a point!

  But it was this pain that made everyone's numb body, stiffness, and the consciousness in their brain that had already dissipated, come back bit by bit!

  Saimel's voice grew louder and louder! The originally gentle tone suddenly became abnormally sharp! The high-pitched ups and downs, getting sharper and sharper, yet still rising... It was as if it had been pushed to the crest of a wave, but could still turn around again, continuing to soar even higher!

  Du Wei felt like his head was about to split open from the sonic waves. He clutched at his head, shouting loudly: "Saimel! Stop it! Stop!"

  Xiao Mei'er, however, seemed to have not heard anything at all. Her face was solemn, but she suddenly took step after step towards the ice surface! Her body floated lightly, and her voice in her mouth did not stop, wave after wave of sound surging forward...

  The ghost on the ice suddenly let out a terrified shriek, and then abruptly straightened up with a hooked soul voice. He hastily tried to burrow under the ice!

  "Hmph, want to run?" Saimel sneered, finally stopping that terrible sonic wave!

  Du Wei's body shook violently!

  Seymour's voice was still Seymour's voice when he said this... but that tone!

  That cold, arrogant, even slightly cruel, disgusted and hateful tone! Yet it doesn't sound like the duplicate magical creature that followed Du Wei at all!

  Xiemer's body floated lightly in mid-air! Her slender fingers rose gently, her silver hair spread out like a waterfall in the air, drifting with the cold wind, and the red cloak around her suddenly spun up several whirlwinds!

  Saimel's fingertips quickly condensed into a kind light spot, that light spot gradually gathered into a small light ball, the naked eye could see the sparks flashing like lightning in the light ball!

  "Lowly and ugly demon beast......" Semel's voice came from mid-air, with a high-and-mighty arrogance and cold composure: "In front of the great me, Semel, you also dare to show off your pitiful spiritual magic?"

  Semir's laughter was colder than ice, she just lightly tapped her finger, and a beam of light shot out quickly from the light ball...

  Crack!

  A terrible sound came from the ice layer, and then a huge crack spread out! Just under Du Wei's eyelids, it went far away... Then the ice layer made a low rumbling sound and quickly split apart to both sides!

  Under the ice layer, the lake water churned... soon, one after another, bubbles brought several mercenaries tumbling up from the lake!

  That ghost in the distance let out a mournful cry, and Semel lightly tapped his finger, suddenly a halo of light enveloped that ghost!

  Suddenly, as if an invisible big hand grabbed the ghost and lifted it up, its body floated off the ice surface!

  The ghost's body was struggling in mid-air, but it seemed to be unable to make any complete sounds anymore. The mournful cries came intermittently, already with a hint of pleading.

  "Oh... are you begging for mercy?" Seymer sneered, looking down at her toyed opponent, saying in a low voice: "You use such a filthy voice, such a despicable method to suck away people's souls? Oh... let me see your filthy appearance... this disguise of yours is too ugly!"

  Her slender hands seemed to be floating in mid-air, gently tugging!

  Du Wei was shocked to see that the ghost's body was split in two by an invisible force!

  The body of that dead mercenary broke into two pieces and fell into the lake, disappearing quickly, but in the air, a small thing was left behind!

  That thing looks fleshy, its whole body covered with a wet and sticky substance like mucus. Its flesh-colored body is like an octopus without tentacles, and the slit-like thing seems to be its mouth. And its lower half of the body is like a fish's tail fin, flapping wildly...

  "Oh, so it's indeed a 'Phantasmagoric Lake Wraith'. Haven't creatures as ugly as you gone extinct yet?" Seymer's face wore a cold smile as she extended a finger tip, her sharp fingernail lightly slashing through the air...

  A faint hum, and the monster's body in the distance suddenly had a deep wound! The wound emitted green mucus, and then, amidst its mournful cry, its upper and lower halves disintegrated! Semel hummed softly, continuing to lightly stroke her fingers twice. The monster's body in the distance split into four or five pieces, falling into the lake water before she searched for something with her hand. Then, a bright green gem-like object slowly flew from afar into her palm.

  "Hmph, a fully grown lake demon." Xiemer said calmly: "The magic core is quite large."

  Saier waved his sleeve, and the lake water had already churned up bubbles. The waves washed several mercenaries who had just jumped into the ice cave back to the shore!

  Du Wei was completely stunned!

  His mind was a complete mess... but one thing he could be certain of was that the woman in front of him was absolutely not Semer! Absolutely not the magical creature who loved to swing her pretty legs around in front of him!!

  She... her tone of voice just now, and... damn it, she actually cast a spell! It's magic!

  A purely illusory magical creature can actually cast magic?!

  She...

  Du Wei suddenly had an idea in his mind that he didn't even dare to believe himself:

  She... perhaps, the tone of voice she used just now, that posture... that cruel appearance of a strong person teasing her opponent, is somewhat like... a truly great female astrologer! Semele Chirra!

  When Du Wei was thinking this way in his mind, Saymehr had already walked back onto the snowy ground and came to Du Wei's side.

  The woman looked down at Du Wei, who was lying on the ground with blood still on his face.

  Sai Mei stood there quietly, looking at Du Wei, her head was under the starry sky, but her eyes seemed brighter than the stars!

  She stared at Du Wei's face for almost a century, and in those eyes, a kind of indescribable... gentleness appeared bit by bit.

  "Darling... the trouble is over." Semel's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, with no hint of the cold tone from earlier: "I'm... sorry, I promised you that I would never use magic again. But when I saw you were in danger, I got worried... Zach, you know how much I love you!"

  After finishing speaking, this woman suddenly closed her eyes and fell straight down in front of Du Wei!

  Du Wei's first thought: Who is this woman?!

  Du Wei's second thought: Who is this "Zack" she's talking about?!

  Wait... wait and see!

  Du Wei suddenly jumped up from the ground!

  Zack... Zack??!!

  Damn it! I remember this name!! This name is on our family tree!!

  Zack! Rollin!!!! The patriarch of the Rollin family in history!!! That is... the husband of a true female astrologer!!!!! Du Wei's great-great-great-grandfather????

  Alright! So I know who Zack is...... Then what about this woman's identity...

  "She... Du Wei let out a sound: "Heavens... She can't really be Saymell, can she? Isn't she supposed to just be a magical creature clone?"
