The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 260

The Roswell family maintained an appearance of prosperity, but if they were to make a mistake, being overthrown would be an instant matter.

The internal structure of the Roswell family was not a solid block either. More than half of the family members were believers of the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order. The others were either employed in Ansu City or were directly members of the Queen’s Sword.

If the royal family and the Church of the God of Order were to truly launch a joint attack on the Roswell family, how many people would truly fight for family honor was still an unknown.

But he recalled the miserable state of Avena coughing up blood just now.

This was the first time he had seen his daughter in years…

Creak creak——

Charles slowly raised his right hand. The joints on his gauntlet twisted, making a metallic grinding sound.

“Even old dogs have a few sharp teeth…”

Charles clenched his right fist.

“Silence.”

Instantly, all surrounding sounds, the wind, breathing, the sound of crumbling wall plaster… all sounds completely disappeared, as if a god had established a law here, forbidding any sound from appearing.

In the midst of the silence, Charles subtly bent his body. He shot towards Forte like an arrow released from a bow. His right gauntlet, with the force of thunder, fiercely smashed forward.

This was just a simple right hook, but it carried strength and speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

But Forte just stood in place, unmoving.

A “Crown Guard” beside him immediately raised his tower shield horizontally in front of Forte. The right hook smashed onto the tower shield, causing the entire hotel to tremble slightly…

The tower shield was also completely shattered, and the “Crown Guard” behind the tower shield also coughed up blood… but he withstood this attack.

Forte just slowly retreated behind a few “Crown Guards” and raised his hand to press the necklace on his chest, then directly ripped it off.

His movements were very smooth, as if he had done this before.

The skeleton on the necklace pierced Forte’s palm. Dark purple flames silently burned on the skeleton. Forte’s body swayed slightly a few times, then he steadied himself.

“Killing you is really troublesome… Charles.”

Forte’s voice pierced through the surrounding silence and reached Charles’s ears.

“So troublesome that my past self specifically left a mark telling me not to easily make a move against you…”

Forte’s words were baffling, but a warning bell rang in Charles’s mind.

He thought of what the red-haired young girl Ciel had said to him. Forte’s “Uniqueness”… the time he could rewind…

“But there is a way to kill you very easily. My past self left me this information.”

Forte’s lips curved into a smile. “Margaret Winston… Kill her, and everyone else in your family, and you will collapse, right?”

Charles felt his hands grow cold. There was not much anger in his heart, but more fear…

The other party was a transcendent who could rewind time using “Uniqueness”…

He knew all his weaknesses. He might even have already killed him at some point in time…

This was practically invincible… How could he possibly contend with someone like this?

Even if he killed him, he could just come back again, like a venomous snake, giving him a fatal poison without him knowing.

Forte’s hands slowly rose. Phantom piano keys appeared before him. His lips curved upward slightly. His hands, with elegant arcs, slowly descended from mid-air.

Charles Roswell, weakness, family.

Terrifying sound waves burst forth as Forte’s hands descended. Charles’s pupils slightly constricted. He quickly retreated several steps and blocked in front of Avena. A phantom shield appeared before Charles’s eyes.

Boom——

Boom——

Boom——

Wave after wave of terrifying sound waves swept towards Charles. The “Crown Guard” standing in front of Forte was directly torn apart by the sound waves.

Almost all the rooms on the second floor corridor of the hotel were torn apart by the sound waves. The entire hotel, when viewed from the side, looked as if it had been cleaved open by a giant sword.

Charles could not move. He could indeed quickly reposition himself using his physical strength, but Avena behind him would be directly torn apart by the sound waves. And Avena’s physical strength could not keep up with his speed.

If this continued, he would be consumed alive… just like the typical death of others on the “Crown Guard” path.

Unless he abandoned Avena.

The desperate choice that appeared in Charles’s mind was suppressed the moment it surfaced. He desperately held up the shield before him, clenching his teeth.

But at this moment, the sound waves stopped.

Charles looked ahead. Through the dust, he saw Forte standing frozen in place.

On Forte’s hands, the same situation as before at the banquet had occurred.

They were turning into dust, dissipating little by little.

“What’s happening… A rewind? No… This is…?”

Forte looked at his hands, his pupils constricted.

No, no, no… This isn’t just 24 grams… There are other places involved…

He fiercely tore open his clothes, revealing his body, which was almost completely covered in countless terrifying symbols. Blood also began to crack and seep from his face. Bloody symbols began to emerge from every part of his body.

Ciel, Ciel, Ciel…

Those weren’t symbols Forte left for himself. They were all the same name.

Who?

Who is Ciel?

Is it that green-haired girl?

“Stop! Stop! I told you to stop!”

Forte raised his hands. He watched in horror as his palms completely disappeared. Even the bones inside were constantly being dissolved.

Even inside the bones, with a writing style that was almost frantic and hateful, the name “Ciel” was being carved.

Buzz——

Forte’s mind was pierced with pain. He knelt on the ground, his arms tightly pressed against the sides of his head—he couldn’t even hold his head anymore.

In his mind, a Serpent Chain that was constantly shattering appeared—this was a scene he had never seen before.

As the Serpent Chain shattered, countless memories flooded into Forte’s mind.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!”
