The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Agnes paused, her tear-filled eyes fixed on Ye Xiao, her gaze filled with disbelief, resentment, and humiliation... and all of these things converged into a furious roar: "You hit me!!??"

"bang"

Ye Xiao struck again with the stick, "That's what I'm doing."

"Go to hell!!!"

Agnes let out a roar and charged forward with her arms outstretched.

Ye Xiao was a little taken aback. When did this guy break the rope?

However, he quickly noticed some scorch marks on the broken rope lying on the ground, and realized that it seemed that some kind of magic had been secretly used to burn the rope.

After all, he is an expert-level arcane mage, so it's normal for him to be able to conjure some minor spells with his bare hands.

But that was all; even with this little mage lunging at Ye Xiao, he couldn't make much of a splash.

"bang"

With a sharp crack, Agnes, who had been so aggressive just moments before, collapsed to the ground, clutching her head and sobbing.

Ye Xiao naturally controlled his strength; otherwise, if he had used much more force, the girl's head would have definitely been smashed open.

So the effect is roughly the same: it causes physical and psychological pain, but it doesn't leave much damage.

"Have you calmed down yet?"

Ye Xiao asked.

"..."

Agnes held her head in her hands, looking down, and seemed to be muttering something.

Ye Xiao was surprised and bent down to take a look, only to see the other party suddenly raise his head and throw a missile that was flashing with golden light at Ye Xiao with his outstretched hand.

"...Power of the Holy Light, rid me of evil!"

"Hey?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow.

This guy was just muttering something while holding his head; it turns out he was chanting a spell.

But facing this minor spell that had no casting medium, Ye Xiao easily dodged it by simply tilting his head, and then struck Agnes on the head with the wooden stick in his hand again.

"bang"

"what!!!"

Agnes sat on the ground, clutching her throbbing head in a fit of impotent rage, and then, without learning her lesson, began chanting an attack spell.

"Holy Light Bullet..."

This time, Ye Xiao simply interrupted the other person with a stick before they could finish reading the "bang".

"Ah!!! Damn it!!!...The Holy Light Scythe of Judgment..."

Agnes didn't give up; after cursing, she was about to start chanting again.

"bang"

Ye Xiao, however, was not about to give her that chance with his stick.

"Ah!! The judgment has come to an end, I bow to..."

"bang"

“Holy Light…”

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

"I'm not reading anymore!! Stop hitting me..."

"bang"

"Stop hitting me!!! I told you to stop!!! It hurts so much!!!"

Agnes covered her head and cried uncontrollably. Unable to hit Ye Xiao, she could only curl up on the ground like a shrimp, screaming and stomping her bare white feet on the floor, "Stop!!!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn't react for a moment."

The repetitive action also has inertia. Ye Xiao got a little too used to it, just like striking a wooden fish, and subconsciously struck it several times in a row.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"

Agnes burst into tears; she, who had been pampered all her life, had never suffered such humiliation.

"Now you know you were wrong, right? Answer my question and I won't hit you anymore."

Ye Xiao wasn't a cruel person; he knew that if he kept hitting her like that, the young woman would probably go crazy, so he made a request.

But Agnes kept crying and completely ignored Ye Xiao's words.

Helpless, Ye Xiao could only raise the wooden stick again, and the next second, the crying stopped abruptly.

Agnes stared tremblingly at the raised wooden stick, and like a helpless squirrel, covered her head with her two little paws.

"Calm down, can you sense the location of the Holy Casket now?"

The girl nodded.

"Where?"

The girl tremblingly stretched out a finger and pointed to the west.

"Do you know how far it is?"

The girl shook her head.

Ye Xiao touched his chin.

Pointing out only one direction... still seems rather vague.

Heading west in this direction, there is at least a hundred square miles of vast land. In addition, the Dark Shepherds may also move around, so we can't just look at the densely populated urban areas, because those guys often hide in those desolate mountains and dense forests.

Like finding a needle in a haystack, or rather, a needle that can move.

If this guy could give directions in real time, it would definitely be faster. Ye Xiao glanced back at Agnes, but he couldn't bet that this girl would become unruly again after a few tens of minutes when she recovered.

Ye Xiao wasn't afraid of anything as simple as just attacking him; the problem was that this girl knew magic. If she secretly conjured a large holy light ball in a crowded place, it would be too much to handle.

If only there were a way to seal this guy's magic...

Suddenly, Ye Xiao had a flash of inspiration, as if she had thought of something.

On a whim, he opened the system shop.

Freeport is also a well-known major city, and it is considered by the system as a main city that can connect to the internet. He swiped his finger on the panel and found the goods in the "Stormport" area.

Logically speaking, if even bishop's scepters are available for sale, then that thing should also be available...

Before long, Ye Xiao saw the prop he was looking for.

[Item: Improved version of the anti-magic collar]

【describe:

The instruments used to restrain prisoners in the Dead Sea prison.

The silver needles on it have the effect of sealing the magic of those who are bound.

However, some nobles used it as a tool to satisfy their own desires.

The excessively long silver needles were considered too aggressive and troublesome to maintain, so they were improved after being repaired by the new lord, Eileen.

"Humans have mastered magic, yet they constantly try to bind the magic of others."

[Unlock Requirements: 1000 Stormport Reputation]

[Consumption: Universal Points × 23]

Purchase limit: None

This was a gift from the hospitable warden to Ye Xiao when he was visiting the Dead Sea prison. However, he didn't expect there to be an improved version. It seems that Eileen has done quite a lot since inheriting her father's title of Earl.

Ye Xiao spent a few Universal Points to buy the collar. The improved anti-magic collar still had a ring of silver needles on the inside, but it was much shorter, and the enchantment array inside was more complicated, presumably to compensate for the effect of shortening the length on suppressing magic power.

"It might hurt a little, but just bear with it."

Ye Xiao handed the collar to Agnes.

"What...what is this...?"

Agnes took it tremblingly, tears welling in her eyes, and asked weakly.

"These are Mickey Mouse gadgets for you."

Ye Xiao waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'll take it off for you once we find the Holy Box."

Agnes swallowed hard. She was very reluctant, but when she saw the wooden stick in Ye Xiao's hand, she finally obediently fastened the collar to her snow-white neck.

With a soft "click," the silver needles that were stuck in the collar retracted inward and pierced Agnes's neck.

Chapter Twelve: An Unintentional Act

"Woo..."

The girl whimpered in pain as she was pricked by the needles, and at the same time, her magic began to drain away uncontrollably, making her face even paler.

Ye Xiao felt a pang of guilt at the sight of her pitiful and helpless eyes. Looking at the bruises left on the girl's body by the robbers, he knew that her recovery would be much slower than before, now that she couldn't control her magic.

So after some thought, Ye Xiao decided that he might still have to treat this guy.

So he turned the spellcasting ring on his hand and prayed to Ella to cast a divine spell.

The format of divine spells has always been "the name of the deity" plus "requirements," just like the spells Ye Xiao recited before following the standard format given by the system. It is only out of respect for the deity, coupled with the various rules and regulations imposed by the deity itself, that divine spells have become so complicated.

This is why the higher the position of a believer, the more concise their spells and incantations can be, because they are nominally closer to God and can avoid more formalities.

Since Ye Xiao figured this out, he could completely discard the unnecessary parts of the contract magic he used to pray to Ella, since Ella wouldn't mind anyway.

"Wife, give her some treatment."

This is the spell format he used after mastering the "Aila Divine Magic".

Ye Xiao was so used to using this all-purpose medicine to treat people that when he saw the dark red magic circle rising from the ground, he belatedly realized something.

But it was too late. In Agnes's utterly horrified gaze, a black mud ball covered in tentacles emerged from the magic circle.

"What is this?! What is this?!?! Ahhhh!!!"

Ye Xiao scratched his head awkwardly. Since he had already summoned it, he might as well make do with it so as not to waste magic power.

At least it's much more effective than those healing potions, isn't it? Some people want it but can't get it.

(The following content is offered as tribute to the God of River Crab)

As Agnes screamed in terror, a dark substance silently wrapped around her struggling feet.

Like tendrils, the tendrils climbed up her plump thighs, leaving faint marks and red imprints on her skin wherever they went.

Agnes's heart pounded wildly, fear washing over her like a tidal wave. She tried to muster every last bit of magic, but it seemed bound by some invisible shackle. Her cheeks flushed from her struggle, and her eyes gleamed with a desperate will to survive, but no matter how much she struggled, the invisible restraints only tightened.

Subsequently, more tentacles (this part was offered as tribute to the god of the river crab) appeared.

The girl was in utter confusion, futilely trying to shake off the enormous object clinging to her cheek. But without the protection of magic, her meager strength was no match for this persistent "healer."

Her scream was choked off, turning into a low whimper, as if a huge, soft foreign object had forcibly occupied her mouth and nose. Agnes's delicate face was subjected to an indescribable pressure, her eyes lost focus, and her fingers helplessly groped her face.

However, those enormous tentacles showed no mercy; they gradually penetrated deeper, traversing the narrow passage, causing her abdomen to swell like a ball.

Agnes struggled, trying to clear her throat with her fingers to induce vomiting, but it was all in vain and she could not stop the foreign object winding inside her.

Soon, she rolled on the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, going through a long and painful process, until finally, the strange tentacles merged with her body.

When everything was over, Agnes's wounds and bruises disappeared completely, but her eyes became empty and lifeless black.

She gently opened her lips, but no sound came out. Her body lay there limply on her side, silent and motionless.

Her clothes were disheveled, and her figure was vaguely visible through the semi-transparent fabric. A blanket was casually draped over her, and her desperate expression gave Ye Xiao a startling feeling that he might have actually committed some heinous crime.

Well, that was indeed a miscalculation on his part. Everyone else had already surrendered, but he still had to resort to such extreme torture at the end.

But you can't entirely blame him; he really didn't do it on purpose.

The main reason is that he often swallows a tentacle to quickly recover his condition during extremely intense battles, and he has forgotten how much this thing drains sanity for ordinary people because he has eaten so many.
