Chapter 976 The Road to Extraordinary

"What else?" Ashes asked in surprise.

"In all aspects...so we have longer lifespans, healthier bodies, stronger self-healing powers, and higher plasticity than mortals." Phyllis said slowly, "And this also includes our temperament. "

"What does temperament...mean?"

"If we desire to use magic to achieve a certain purpose, magic will lead us in that direction - such as wanting to avenge a dead partner, wanting to kill the devil at all costs, etc., the witch's heart will also become Becoming more and more indifferent, or ruthless." Phyllis looked at the flickering firelight and said, "For combatants, this can indeed make us stronger, but it will also gradually turn us into another type of thing... "

"what?"

"Inhuman."

Hui Jin couldn't help but feel nervous.

She thought of her past self, who blindly looked for opportunities to kill church members and was desperate for anything else. That was indeed the time when she was at her most powerful, and the killing intent surging in her heart gave her almost infinite power. But aside from these, she had nothing. If she hadn't happened to meet the Fifth Princess, she would have been no different from a beast.

"Of course not everyone will be like this, this is just a trend - the pressure of war leaves most people alive with no time to care about anything else. Even mortals without magic will be driven crazy in the face of a long and hopeless battle. Compared to them, we at least transformed madness into strength, which is pretty good." Phyllis continued, "So the series of changes that happened in the Federation at that time may be difficult for you to understand, but It was a matter of course at that time. Without extremely firm determination, it would be impossible for the three seats to become extraordinary."

"I see..." Ashes stretched out his hand to stir the fire, "If the battle of divine will continues, what will the witch become in the end?"

"No one knows the answer. Maybe even the appearance will change," Phyllis pretended to be relaxed. "After all, outstanding beauty is judged by human perception. If you are no longer a human in the end, maybe you will change." It has to be all kinds of weird, like being like a devil is not uncommon.”

The flames flickered, and silence temporarily enveloped the cave.

After a while, the Divine Punishment Witch spoke again, "Can I ask why you decided to fight the devil?"

Probably sensing Ashes' hesitation, she took the initiative and said, "Our purpose is very simple, to defeat the devil, win the battle of divine will, and restore the glory of Taquila - if it weren't for this belief, the surviving witches would not be able to persist. To this day.”

"Do you want to rebuild Taqila?"

"Of course, that is the place we have dedicated our lives to. But it will be more of a symbol than a holy city under the rule of the Federation. If His Majesty Roland can defeat the devil, it will prove that he is on the right path. It is more correct than the three seats. Since the collaboration between witches and mortals can bring broader prospects, we have no reason not to support it."

After a moment of silence, Ashes replied, "I just want to protect one person and help her realize her wish. Since she hopes to drive the devil out of the Dawn Realm, then I will go into battle on her behalf."

"Really..." Phyllis shook her head, "With all due respect, this is not a good belief."

"Why?"

"Because the goal is too broad." She spread her hands and said, "It's easy for you to lose yourself, especially at the juncture of a life-and-death battle. It's hard to define a person's wish, and more importantly... you really know her. What do you want?"

"Of course I-" Hui Jing suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Would Tilly want her to be on the front lines fighting the devil? The answer is obviously no, it's just her own decision. If the previous phantom instrument positioning operation still had the need to go into danger for the opponent, Tilly did not need to personally participate in this sniper battle, but she still joined the team at Roland's invitation.

There is undoubtedly a reason for this to win prestige and merit for Maleficent - the more important Maleficent is in Neverwinter, the higher Tilly's status will naturally be.

But is that all?

She couldn't help but look at the witches who had already fallen asleep, with tired but calm and gentle expressions on their faces. Her eyes first started from Sylvie, Maisie and others on Sleeping Island, and then slowly expanded to all her companions.

"Why are you telling me this?" Hui Jing suddenly asked.

No matter what, the relationship between Phyllis and her had only been about occasionally exchanging swordsmanship and improving combat skills. It was far from being a close relationship. It was really strange to ask about this. There were also the effects of magic on temperament, and the demands of Taquila survivors... She always felt that the other party would not talk about these to everyone.

"Because you are a transcendent," Phyllis's tone became solemn. "You are a natural pride among witches, and your potential is unimaginable. In the Federation era, every combat-type transcendent is the target of key training. Once the limit is exceeded and promoted to transcendence, its power will be able to kill high-level devils head-on, and it will also become the new leader of the Federation."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and bowed to Ashes, "Perhaps I am not qualified to guide an extraordinary witch on how to take a further step, but for any chief, practical goals and a firm will are essential. All the extraordinary ones recorded in the Federation were promoted in battle, and those who failed to cross this threshold all fell at the hands of the devil." She paused, "I hope you can become the former."

By the last sentence, God's Punishment Witch has used honorifics.

"You don't have to be like this..." Hui Jin frowned.

"Just think of it as nostalgia - I haven't seen a transcendent person for more than four hundred years." Phyllis smiled, "Don't worry, I won't use this set of ancient etiquette in front of everyone. Then I'll go to sleep first and see you in two hours."

"Ah, good night."

When there was no other sound in the cave, Hui Ji raised his head and looked at the small patch of night sky exposed through the cracks in the rocks above his head, and did not move away for a long time.

*********************

After ending the call with the front line, Roland marked a new waypoint on the map.

Operation Peak has entered the twenty-second day after its official implementation, and the plan is still going very smoothly so far. The number of patrolling terror beasts observed by the sniper team has increased significantly, and their cruising range has gradually moved away from the planned route of the First Army-obviously in the devil's presence In his eyes, the Taquila ruins were more important, and the vast airspace south of the outpost was gradually turning into a blind spot in the field of vision.

Of course, none of the patrols deployed around the outpost have withdrawn. According to common sense, any enemy force that takes the initiative to attack the outpost cannot escape the fate of being discovered in advance.

But the First Army is not a conventional team.

The artillery battalion, which has a complete firing list and is equipped with improved fortress guns, can launch fatal strikes on targets ten kilometers away.
