Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 143 The Death of the Witch
"You-you are not a black dragon at all!"

After the flames slowly dissipated, the witch who had been so arrogant just now had now turned into a piece of black charcoal. She stood barefoot on the cracked ground, pointing at "Exuri" and roaring hysterically, occasionally sprinkling in some swear words that Ron and the others could not understand.

"Abyssal language, Purgatory language," the golden dragon blew out a puff of thick smoke from his mouth and nose with disdain, "that's all you can do."

His body returned to its original shape after a flash of light, and with a flick of the tip of his tail, he sent those night hounds, which were still waving their fangs and claws, flying away.

"There is only one way left for you, monster - surrender!"

"Never!" The witch frantically activated all the few magic items she had left, but the adult golden dragon stood still like a mountain. He had made sufficient preparations for this action. The runes on his scales sparkled like waves, and no matter how the witch attacked, she could not shake him in the slightest.

Seeing this, the witch turned into a cloud of poisonous smoke, trying to find a chance to slip away. However, the golden dragon spit out a bunch of dazzling magic materials from his mouth, and set up a dragnet around the space where he was, so that no matter how he rushed left and right, he could not escape.

"You are doing useless work," Jin Long said in a majestic and low voice, "What did you do when Green Swamp Town was destroyed?"

"What did you do?" The witch, who had nowhere to escape, turned back into her original form, curled up in the invisible prison that was shrinking and narrowing, laughing crazily, "I didn't do anything!"

"I just wanted to avoid the pollution released by those unlucky elves and joined forces with a few sisters to fight the enemy. Is there anything wrong with self-defense?!"

"It's more than that," Ivy came over, "Your daughter said you once provided prophecies to the elves?"

"Half-elf, or half-human?" The witch squinted at Ivy, "Yes, so what? Are you going to sentence me and put me in jail, little girl?"

"I did tell them there was something underground, but that was just a warning, a warning! We didn't trick them into digging it themselves!"

"Warning? Are you really that kind-hearted?" Sera carried the big sword and spat a mouthful of blood foam on the ground, "You must have done more than this!"

"Come on, you illiterate beast, what's the difference between you and the stupid bear in the forest?" The witch scolded whoever she caught, "We have lived here for who knows how long, how dangerous are the things down there?"

"There are ten thousand ways to destroy a small town, why do you have to choose the stupidest one!"

"And then what happened? Were you really affected as Polly said?" Sylvia asked, but only got a mouthful of thick phlegm from the witch in response.

"I won't talk to an ugly corpse! One look at you almost blinds me!"

Sera, Ivy, and Victoria rushed forward and finally stopped Sylvia who was about to go berserk: "Calm down, calm down! In the eyes of a witch, beauty is ugliness, beauty is ugliness! Calm down, calm down!"

"Okay, what if someone else asks?" Ron stood in front of the witch, "Can you tell us the answer to that question?"

"No, we have ways to circumvent it, otherwise how could we survive until now?" The witch snorted coldly, and the shackles on her body kept tightening, forcing her to speak the truth. "But those methods took us a long time to prepare, and they are of no use to you at all - can you let this golden dragon loosen my locks? I'm almost suffocating!"

"Bind the tiger and hope for a better future?" Ron laughed. "The last person who made such a request had his head hung on the city gate. If you don't have any means of resurrection, you will end up like this too."

"What?! You are a bunch of shameless people!" the witch howled, "I answered your questions, but you are going to throw them away after I have done my job?"

"There is no need to show mercy to such a monster," the golden dragon tightened the restraints. Ron and the others could hear the bones and organs of the "witch" screaming under the heavy burden. "Do you have any more questions? If not, I will kill her."

This was his prisoner, and he certainly had the right to deal with him as he pleased.

"You don't want to kill me," the witch laughed. "You won't! You don't want to get dirty with blood, do you? You are pure, you are upright, you are innocent! Believe me, you don't want to do this to me."

"Let me go, so we can all part ways in peace. I survived, and you know everything you want to know, so why are you still pushing me?"

"One last question," Ron signaled Jin Long to pause, "What exactly is that thing you predicted?"

"Power, the embodiment of power and knowledge, but it also contains some other things I don't know - not much, just enough to destroy the entire delusion land." The witch laughed, knowing that she could not escape death. Even under the influence of the spell, she still had to answer Ron's question, "You will be punished! I curse you, curse you, Golden Dragon! When you come into contact with those powers, it will corrupt you, you will tear off your hypocritical face, and devour everything around you!"

"You will--"

The golden dragon's front claws suddenly clenched, and before the witch finished her words, it instantly turned into a pool of blood and flesh. The bloody scene was enough to make Ron and others feel nauseous.

"Can't you try a gentler execution method?" Ron, who was almost bleeding from the face, looked up and complained, "I thought you golden dragons could..."

"You have to find the Silver Dragon," the Golden Dragon looked away, "Unfortunately I don't know many of them, so I can't introduce them to you."

"This witch tried to curse me, and I couldn't let her succeed. So I had to resort to this slightly 'radical' approach."

Ron: "I think there's something wrong with your quotation marks - I didn't see you make the quotation marks, but I just know it."

The golden dragon's flaming breath almost destroyed the witch, but it also destroyed almost all of her belongings. His final blow completely crushed the witch's body into slag. Ron and the others, who were used to collecting spoils, did not get anything valuable this time.

"It won't happen again." Jin Long's tone didn't show any sign of repentance next time. Ron guessed that this guy probably saw that the things in the witch's hand were not good-looking, so he destroyed them all if they didn't meet his needs.

"What have those witches done to their graves?" Sera's words awakened the dreamers. They did not have time to dwell on the remains of the witches and hurried back to the previous gathering place.
