The small church was surrounded by people.

"I finally caught that witch!"

"Now you can sleep peacefully."

"I thought something was wrong with her for a long time. There was no one who always hid at home."

"You don't know that. The last time I saw this woman in the cemetery, I knew she was not a good thing!"

"Oh, poor Clayslin has been fascinated by this woman."

A little boy stood in front of the chaotic crowd with a frown. He was wearing a fat priest suit. Although it was obvious that the priest suit had been changed, it still could not eliminate the feeling of incompatibility between it and the boy.

This is true. Nero, wearing this dress, always felt that it was quite difficult for him to act.

‘If it weren’t for the drag of this dress, maybe I could join the witch hunting team!’

He had this idea when he was rejected by the church's witch hunting mechanism.

He has the pride of resources. Although this is just a church in a remote town in the eastern plain, he has magical talents and holy light affinity that none of his peers in the sacred realm have, which makes his magical path almost smooth.

Of course, he didn't know that the witch hunting machine required members to be over 18 years old - after the age of 18, they would almost pass the second phase, and would not do some messy things because of impulse.

This time, the witch hunting mechanism caught not witches, but witches. Of course, ordinary people should not be able to tell the difference... For them, it is right that neither of these two is human.

The witch does not refer to a female magician, but to pursue the existence of evil forces similar to a magician.

They summon the demons of the abyss, raise evil creatures, and refine cursed potions. They like to use living people to conduct various cruel human experiments, and even take the initiative to intercourse with demons as a way to gain strength.

Simply put, they just want to abandon the human body and become a monster.

If the witch is an acquired monster, then the witch is a natural monster.

The formation of the witch is very accidental. Some powerful creatures like to leave their seeds on the girl (usually virgins) through some methods, such as the Nightmare Lord will do this work in the girl's dream...

Then for some reasons, if the girl reaches a certain age and has not been broken (so there will be regulations on the right to the right of the first night in many places), the seeds have a certain chance of germination... The manifestation is that the girl is pregnant before marriage.

I still don’t know what these powerful creatures are doing, but what is certain is that the witch who gave birth to that girl is a witch with special power.

Of course, witches are not 100% harmful.

The Far East General, one of the four generals of the Horngorat Empire, is a dragon witch. She has the power of an almost adult dragon clan. Although she does not have magical talent, she can resist most of the three-ring magic. Ordinary weapons have almost no harm to her. She once created a miracle that led hundreds of cavalry to fight from the siege of 170,000 troops with one person, which was famous throughout the eastern plain.

Little Nero looked at the witch who was stabbed through his hands and scapula with wooden stakes and nailed to the cross. No matter how he looked, he was just an ordinary girl, and he was extremely puzzled.

He was dissatisfied with the witch hunting mechanism refusing to recruit him, so he secretly followed him to see how they hunted the witches.

The result surprised him.

The girl lived in a dilapidated thatched house. Even the door only had an irregular wooden board, which was pushed down by the hunting machine.

The girl was pulled out without even resisting at all. She was baptized by the civilians along the way by stones and rotten eggs, and was finally nailed to the cross.

According to the rules of hunting witches, after being nailed for a day and a night, tomorrow at noon, use a basin of holy water (usually the Baptist Spring Holy Water, but the church is very poor, so it only uses the Washing Water Holy Water) from head to toe. Finally, she will be sent to the tent platform and burned with the cross stained with her blood.

At night, Nero, as the adopted son of the church priest, bribed food and obtained the permission of the gatekeeper to come to the church.

"Aren't the witch very powerful? Why are you caught so easily?"

He approached the witch and asked strangely.

The witch's long and dry and split hair hung down from the cross, covering her face, with half an eggshell hanging on it.

After a while, just when Nero thought she was dead, she said softly in a hoarse voice.

“Because I am a human.”

"Lie! I've seen the arrest warrant of the hunting mechanism! You are not a human being, but a witch of the Death Swamp who inherited the curse power of the Lord of the Death Swamp!" Nero exposes this woman without hesitation.

The Lord of the Dead Swamp is a dragon lizard man, with the dual bloodline of the dragon clan and the shadow creature. It is powerful and violent, cruel and easy to kill. Its favorite thing is to drag humans, animals and animals into the Dead Swamp and watch them drown helplessly.

According to incomplete statistics from the Mage Association, the number of people who died at the hands of the Lord of the Death Swamp has exceeded the total of humans who died at the hands of other sub-dragon creatures.

From this we can see that the Pure White Church learned about the feeling of the Death Swamp Witch appeared.

Therefore, even if the hunting mechanism generally does not take the initiative to hurt the witch, this time it will directly arrest the other party and destroy it.

As for the mood of the Lord of the Dead Swamp - no matter whether it recognizes this human daughter or not, even if it wants to fight the Pure White Church, you at least have to crawl out of the Pure White Church before talking about it? By that time, it will not be it to settle the score with the Pure White Church, but how the Pure White Church will encircle this monster that dares to leave its home court.

"No, I'm a human..."

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t encountered water all day, the girl’s voice sounds like her lack of moisturizing hair, and she’s frigid.

"You are a monster! Monster! Monster!"

Nero cast a glittering ball, which illuminated her cheeks when he blew open the other person's hair - it was originally the place where the girl's delicate skin was, and at this time it was densely covered with goosebumps, and the two green kernels and black-bottomed eyes were even more chilling.

Then, the memory broke out. Nero suddenly felt that the girl who was crying in the middle of her words all night because of her words. Finally, she screamed in the flames.

But another existence.

A terrifying smile appeared on her horrible face.

"Yes...I'm a monster."

With her words, the dried hair of the original body suddenly wrapped around Nero's right hand like a snake.

Nero was shocked and subconsciously touched his waist, but he could not touch anything.

"But you are not qualified to say I am not? Because aren't you planning to become a monster, too?"

With her words, Nero found that his body had changed.

His hands began to become illusory, and his golden hair faded away all colors and turned pale. The derivative like wings spread out on both sides of his head, looking like a winged ear.

It seemed as if something was pulled out of his body and placed on his head. As the feeling became stronger, he also saw a ring appearing on his head.

Holy Spiritualization.

Is this the effect after using the Holy Grail of Angels?

No, those white bishops did not have this characteristic, they just became more magical and had a better light-protective attitude...

"Don't keep making excuses. Actually, you really want to abandon your human identity and gain power and power, right?" The girl grinned, her white teeth turned into uneven canine teeth, and her tongue was like a thick snake's letter, with a strange fork appearing in the previous part.

"It's not...I..."

Nero didn't know whether he valued this human identity for a moment, so he could only keep silent.

"Don't continue to let the memories of the past bind you... quickly adapt to your heart and abandon everything about humanity. Then ask for everything you want!"

“…”

Nero was silent. The reason why he hesitated for this choice was that in addition to Frey's influence, he did have the scene he faced when he was a child.

‘I am a human…’ In my memory, the witch cried and shed tears, but she couldn’t even wipe her face.

‘I’m not a monster…’ Even when facing death, she didn’t want to become a monster from the bottom of her heart, so the power of her blood was not activated until the end.

Is human identity really that important than life?

Rather than dying there, it is better to accept an inhuman identity. Wouldn't it be better to continue living?

So... don't be a human being, become a higher-level existence!

"……don't want."

With Nero's two gentle words, the grim girl showed a surprised expression on her face.

"If I abandon my most important thing because of strength and power, then next time I will abandon my other things for stronger power and power." Nero looked at her calmly: "I am willing to be a human being, even if I die, I will die as a human being!"

——The cave at the bottom of the river—

Nero opened his eyes and could feel that because of his determination, the Holy Light not only did not leave him, but was connected with him more closely, so that he was now trapped in a cocoon of small darkness, but he could see everything around him clearly.

He could see that his right hand had been wrapped in black matter layer by layer, and he had no sense of consciousness, and he might have been absorbed - he felt that his right hand was caught in the illusion just now, which should be the reason.

"Since you are obsessed with the Holy Grail of my angel, I'll give it to you!" He pulled a few black threads that were still very small with his left hand, took out a thin bottle of holy water from his pocket, bit off the plug with his teeth, and then used the front end as a needle, directly inserting his right hand wrapped in those black substances!

The next moment, under the action of the angel's Holy Grail, the black substance wrapped around his right hand suddenly expanded, but surprisingly, it did not explode or was destroyed, but began to shrink, and finally replaced Neroyuan's right hand, becoming a purple-red and leather-like new right hand. On the back of its hand, the magic power converted by the silver "The Holy Grail of Angel" still flows, giving people a feeling of sacredness and evil.

Then, as if it was the guidance of the divine light, Nero closed his eyes and waved his new right hand suddenly. He saw black and silver magic entangled each other, forming a huge light blue palm phantom, destroying the black cocoon with one claw.

The phantom of the magic hand continued to cast, leaving four deep bone-deep scars on the snake tail in front of him, and the smelly black and purple plasma immediately gushed out.

Even a wise man with a huge size, his power is enough for him to bear.

"Huh! You hurt me, maggot!"

The pain made it tear off the calm mask that had just happened, revealing its hideous appearance.

The green mist flashed away, and the four wounds quickly stopped bleeding and then recovered quickly. If it weren't for the blood on the ground, no one would have seen that it had been injured.

"What the hell are you!" It roared at Nero's faint glowing right hand.

"The Thirteenth Order of the Pure White Church, Nero." Nero pulled out his short sword with his left hand and raised his right hand at the same time: "It's a human!"
