"..."
Xia Ye stared at her angrily without saying a word. After a while, she suddenly pointed behind her: "Aren't you here to collect debts? Go and get down to business."
"Well, let's get down to business first. Thank you for the reminder."
Luka thanked Xia Ye seriously, stopped looking at her, and walked straight towards Grady, who was lying on the ground half-dead.
Xia Ye rolled her eyes cutely.
Lilian saw it and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing the girl starting to glare at her again, she hurriedly covered her mouth and snickered secretly.
Xia Ye: "..."
She simply ignored Lillian and turned around to see what the debt collection team was going to do with Grady.
Luka and the other four people were already standing beside the brown-haired witch.
Luka first took out a monocle from her arms - this action startled Xia Ye, but then she realized that the world she had traveled to was not a mysterious one... Fortunately, it wasn't.
Luca, who was wearing a monocle, glanced at Grady, then took off the glasses and handed them to another person in the team. After putting them on, the man also glanced at Grady, and then said to Luca: "Confirm." Correct."
Luca nodded and announced to Grady lying on the ground:
"After inspection using the lens enchanted by the 'Eye of True' contract, and confirmed by both of them, the debtor Grady currently has 50 magic spells at his disposal, 0 magic spells frozen, and an overdue magic debt of 1,460 magic spells. Er, it is estimated that 0 magic can be repaid within 24 hours. According to Article 1 of Chapter 3 of the "Debt Code", you are in a [bankruptcy] state.
"I, the debt collector Luca, and the team members I lead will execute the bankruptcy liquidation procedure against the debtor Grady in accordance with Article 3 of Chapter 3 of the Debt Code. Before the liquidation procedure is carried out, you have the right to leave The right to make last words, but the maximum time spent in this link cannot exceed 1 minute.”
"Tell me, what are your last words before you die?" Luka said to Grady lying on the ground.
But the other party slowly shook his head.
"I have already told that beautiful monster lady everything I want to say..." She rolled her eyes and glanced at Xia Ye: "Come on, it's time to kill me."
Luka looked back at Xia Ye, a little curious about what Grady had said to her, but Xia Ye just stood there expressionless, as if what Grady just said had nothing to do with her at all.
"Start the bankruptcy liquidation process." Luka no longer dwelled on these unimportant matters, "Alyssa, drain the magic power from her body."
"As you command, Captain!"
The petite purple-haired girl responded enthusiastically, spread out the palm of her right hand, and recited a few short witch syllables. A book with a beautiful cover suddenly appeared out of thin air, floating above her palm.
The girl opened the book with her left hand and turned to a random page. On the page filled with strange characters, a snake-shaped shadow slowly raised its head. It clearly had no eyes, but it kept turning its head, as if it was observing its surroundings vigilantly.
"Go ahead."
Alyssa pointed at Grady on the ground and shouted softly. The shadow snake immediately sprang out of the book and pounced on the brown-haired witch. It opened its mouth wide and bit into the opponent's chest and abdomen with its fangs.
"Ah——!!!" Grady cried out in pain, and her body immediately twitched.
At the same time, the snake's belly also expanded little by little. It was extracting the magic power from Grady's body, but Grady's magic power was not much. In less than half a minute, the snake opened its mouth without saying anything. . It spread its wings, flew back the way it came, got into the pages of the book and went to sleep.
Alyssa closed the book with a "snap". She glanced at the cover and said to Luca: "Fifty moles of magic power, not a drop less."
"Yes." Luka nodded, and at the same time told another graceful blond girl: "Sora, get ready."
"Ah...yes! Captain!"
The blond girl put her hands on her chest, intertwined her fingers, and recited the witch text in a low voice. The next second, golden light lit up from between his palms and rose into the air, like a small sun, hovering directly above Grady.
Whether it was the blond girl named Sola or the purple-haired girl named Alisa, Xia Ye had met them yesterday, but she didn't know their names at that time, so she named them "Priest" With the nickname "Mage", it seems that these two people are Luka's regular partners...
While Xia Ye was thinking about this, Grady suddenly changed while lying on the ground. The black robe on her body suddenly bulged, as if something grew out of her body.
With a shrill scream, the robe was completely torn into pieces, and Grady's body was completely out of human form.
Three heads grew out between her chest and abdomen, one of a human, a cow, and a goat. Wings stretched out from her back, and her legs merged into a huge snake's tail. Red flames overflowed from her mouth and flowed everywhere along the surface of her body like liquid.
In the blink of an eye, Grady's entire body was enveloped in flames, but she was not burned to death. Instead, her mutated body became even more violent. The three heads in her chest and abdomen opened their mouths together and let out a huge roar:
"■-SmDs-"
At the same time, Luka also shouted: "Do it!"
She picked up the short staff transformed from the broom, and the blue magic sword that Xia Ye had just seen yesterday appeared in front of her again. The next moment, the giant sword slashed from the air, splitting all the way through Grady's head, neck and chest. It was about to split the three weird heads together, but the sheep head among them suddenly stopped roaring and faced the head. The coming sword bit it down in one bite.
“Crack, squeak, squeak—!”
There was a sharp sound like fingernails scraping glass, and the huge magic sword blade was bitten by the sheep's head, unable to move. But Luka didn't panic. She continued to press the giant sword down with both hands, and at the same time chanted hurriedly:
"HvrT-Kh-rS-"
In mid-air, a dozen slender blue lightsabers suddenly appeared. They were neatly arranged in a conical sword array, and the sword tips were aimed at Grady, who had turned into a monster. Immediately afterwards, the magic rapiers shot out quickly one after another, piercing Grady's body and pinning it firmly to the ground.
At the same time, in the small sun suspended above Grady, a golden beam of light fell down, as if it had substance, and it hit hard.
"■-SMDS——!"
Grady's body was pressed to the ground and could no longer be lifted up. The three heads on its chest and abdomen let out an unprecedented high-pitched roar - but it was also the last roar.
Amidst the weird and shrill screams, the body shrouded in golden light began to melt like wax, and soon it could no longer maintain its three-headed and two-winged shape, turning into a pile of irregular dark red colloid.
"That's it."
Luka said, and then pulled out the giant blue sword blade from the colloid. With this action, the thin swords inserted in the colloid disappeared one after another.
The blond girl no longer maintained her praying posture, the small sun in mid-air gradually extinguished, and the golden beam of light also dissipated.
"As expected, it's the summons of the Asmodeus Pillar. Although it's a bit troublesome to deal with, at least it's not the most difficult type." Luka commented.
"Finally there was no accident this time, otherwise the insurance premium alone would have bankrupted me." Alyssa was obviously thinking about what happened yesterday.
"Um... let's quickly recycle the cup and contract..." Sora reminded in a low voice.
"Um."
Luka nodded, walked forward, put his hand directly into the colloid, fumbled for a while, and when he pulled it out, he already had a palm-sized object in his hand.
It was a brown translucent shallow cup with a small handle on one side. The cup had no characteristics in terms of shape or material. If you threw it in the cupboard, it would look like an ordinary utensil.
When the cup was taken away, the dark red colloid began to dry up quickly, turning into a small pile of white ashes in the blink of an eye. Soon, these ashes also floated in the air and disappeared without a trace.
The witch named "Grady" died completely like this.
