Madison, Zoe, Maria, and Emma led the distraught Myrtle away from the battlefield.
Just moments ago, the young witches had witnessed Carrie transform into a red demon right before their eyes.
Actually, Emma also possessed Leviathan's bloodline and had once gone berserk herself, but that time she completely lost her mind, so she didn't have much memory of her transformation.
This time, witnessing Carrie's transformation firsthand left Emma in a daze, and she nearly tripped several times while walking.
Luckily, Zoe and Maria still knew to look after the younger Emma, pulling her along to prevent her from falling.
At this point, the battlefield was covered in blood. Carrie's power was blood manipulation, and many of her abilities were very similar to those of a vampire.
Therefore, Carrie's fighting style required setting up the battlefield first, and the blood used for this setup came from her own body.
"Hmph! You think this will be enough to trap me?"
Although the beautiful woman didn't want to admit it, Carrie's blood-soaked battlefield was similar to a domain, and it did make it difficult for her to pursue the other young witches.
"Today, either you take me out, or I'll take you out!"
Carrie lay on the ground, her state similar to the beast form that Roy had seen in his dream that day.
But clearly, Carrie today retained most of her sanity. Her goal was very clear: to take down the beautiful woman before her.
"Go to hell!"
The blood around Carrie began to boil, and dark red blood flames ignited all the blood.
This magical blood flame would only ignite living beings with blood; it wouldn't harm plants or inanimate objects.
The beautiful woman tried to extinguish these blood flames with ice and snow, but the blood flames seemed unaffected by conventional physical laws. This magical fire could only be extinguished by special means.
If that's the case, then let's fight fire with fire!
A ring of purple fire rose around the beautiful woman's feet, and the purple flames began to clash with the blood flames.
The energy levels of the two magical flames were actually quite similar, so it turned into a pure magical power struggle.
A magical power struggle would definitely favor the beautiful woman. Even if Carrie had demon blood within her and exceptional talent, she couldn't contend with the beautiful woman who had lived for who knows how many years.
But Carrie's goal was just to stall the beautiful woman, preventing her from harming her friends, so she could accept this outcome.
However, the beautiful woman certainly couldn't accept it. So, the woman looked into Carrie's eyes, and a pink light began to emanate from them, attempting to control Carrie through mental magic.
In an instant, Carrie seemed to see Madison and the others return to her side.
"Why did you guys come back?"
But soon, the Madison, Zoe, Maria, and Emma before her were one by one engulfed and ignited by the blood flames, just like what had happened at the school party.
At that time, Carrie's heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge and retaliation. Now, Carrie's heart was filled with regret.
"No—!"
After a painful scream, Carrie knelt in the blood, clutching her head and crying.
Carrie had always been very afraid of the power within her body, so she had acted timidly after being brought to the witch school.
The beautiful woman knew this very well because she had investigated Carrie's talent just as she had investigated Emma's before.
It had to be said that Carrie's talent was a once-in-a-century find even within the witch school. It was just a pity that her personality had a huge flaw, which was why the beautiful woman chose to use mental illusion magic to deal with Carrie.
The surrounding blood flames gradually extinguished, and the boiling flames also calmed down.
"Hehe, who would have thought it would be this easy!"
The beautiful woman withdrew the purple fire wall around her and began to walk towards Carrie.
As she walked, the beautiful woman thought, although this Carrie's bloodline wasn't pure enough for parasitism, she could still brainwash her and turn her into a henchman.
In the current situation, she definitely couldn't go back to the Witch Coven. Next, organizations like the FEA would definitely cause her trouble, and she did need some muscle.
"It's all that damn Myrtle Snow's fault! I should have taken her out sooner!"
The beautiful woman cursed Myrtle through gritted teeth. She didn't know that her exposure was only due to a few young witches suddenly wanting to play a séance, and only thought that Myrtle had foreseen her identity.
Well, this world is just this absurd. In reality, many secrets are leaked for very ridiculous reasons, sometimes even making people think it's a joke.
Suddenly, the beautiful woman sensed a massive energy reaction emanating from Carrie's body. She immediately felt something was wrong and stopped in her tracks.
She saw large bone spurs growing out of Carrie's body, and huge bat wings sprouting from her back, further transforming her into a demonic form. The aura around her was also growing stronger and stronger.
"Awooo—"
Carrie roared towards the sky, instantly dispersing the dark clouds. Then, the moon turned blood-red, creating severe red light pollution across the entire area.
This scene was very similar to the feeling of the ritual Carrie had in her dream.
The beautiful woman's expression became extremely serious. The current development of events was somewhat beyond her control, or rather, tonight's events had been beyond her control from the very beginning.
Suddenly having her secret discovered, then suddenly having her parasitic host body destroyed, and now encountering a fully awakened child of a demon.
This made the beautiful woman wonder if she had been cursed. How could everything have gone so wrong these past few days?
Even her previous attempts to capture the resurrected female corpse and the swamp witch had failed.
Just at this moment, the sound of a helicopter propeller suddenly came from the sky. The beautiful woman looked up and saw three helicopters with the FEAR (First Response Assault Reconnaissance Team) insignia flying in from the distance.
The huge commotion at the witch school had finally attracted the FEA.
In fact, the Boston FEAR training base was not far from the witch school, clearly intended to guard against witches.
So, only a few minutes after the explosion at the witch school, the FEAR forces arrived on the scene.
A glint flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes. She felt this was an opportunity to escape.
Next to Carrie, who had transformed into a child of a demon, she appeared insignificant. As long as FEAR attacked Carrie and drew their hatred, she could escape smoothly.
Thinking of this, the beautiful woman immediately retreated into the shadows, allowing her snow-white skin to blend into the darkness.
The FEAR helicopters in the air indeed focused their attention on Carrie. Although they also saw the beautiful woman, their main focus was still on Carrie.
The helicopter pilot began reporting to headquarters.
"Demon presence detected. Requesting permission to use heavy firepower!"
"Permission granted to use heavy firepower, but do not damage surrounding residential buildings. Try to drive the demon into an unpopulated area!"
"Roger that!"
Carrie, now awakened as a child of a demon, was still instinctively searching for the beautiful woman's踪迹 (zōngjì - traces/whereabouts), but soon the airborne Gatling guns on the three FEAR helicopters began to spin.
The bullets of these airborne Gatling guns had a large caliber of 12.7 millimeters, and their theoretical rate of fire could reach 6,000 rounds per minute.
When three airborne Gatling guns fired simultaneously, this kind of firepower could turn even ordinary steel plates into scrap metal.
Carrie screamed in pain as she was hit by the Gatling gun fire. Bullet holes appeared all over her body. Although the gunshots didn't look deep, they really hurt!
So, Carrie's hatred was instantly drawn to the three helicopters in the air.
With an angry roar, the blood on the ground, under Carrie's control, transformed into a semi-circular blood screen, blocking the view of the three helicopters.
Although the bullets from the three airborne Gatling guns continuously pierced the blood screen, the screen would quickly regenerate.
After several minutes of firing, the airborne Gatling guns overheated and entered a cooling state. Then, the entire blood screen suddenly exploded, and Carrie flew towards one of the helicopters.
The pilot of this helicopter was terrified. Helicopters might look impressive, but they were actually very dangerous.
Basically, if a helicopter falls from a high altitude, it's impossible for the people inside to survive.
The reason why the news anchor Marianne Megan and her colleagues were able to survive before was because the TV station helicopter was flying very low at the time.
But the three FEAR helicopters now were not flying low. If they crashed, being smashed into a meat patty would be a light consequence.
This is also why in future wars, helicopters began to be gradually replaced by drones.
The helicopter pilot, in a panic, directly launched the mounted missiles.
Normally, launching missiles in a city would definitely require approval from superiors, but between saving his life and obeying orders, this pilot chose to save his life.
As a result, a missile directly hit Carrie in the air, blowing the demonized Carrie away.
Similarly, this helicopter also lost control due to the close-range explosion of the missile, spinning rapidly in the air.
"Sir, the heavy machine guns are ineffective. Requesting permission to use missiles!"
"Damn it! You absolutely cannot use missiles in the city, or you'll end up in court!"
"Sir, we just want to live!"
Going to court was better than dying. After all, going to court didn't necessarily mean a death sentence, and Americans didn't have that kind of dedication.
The result was that the remaining two helicopter pilots simultaneously launched their mounted missiles.
Being hit by three missiles in a row would severely injure even Roy in his transformed state, let alone Carrie, whose physical abilities were far inferior to Roy's.
Boom!
A huge flash of fire appeared in the sky.
Many nearby Boston residents must have thought the Russians had attacked.
"Ah—"
After a piercing scream, Carrie was directly blasted to the ground, her condition extremely miserable. She was charred all over, as if her race had changed in an instant.
The pair of wings on her back were reduced to bones, and the membrane had completely disappeared.
In this state, Carrie obviously couldn't continue fighting.
Her fading sanity began to return, and Carrie ran towards the distant forest in terror, wanting to escape the attack of the FEAR helicopters.
The two helicopter pilots also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't continue launching missiles but instead used heavy machine guns to chase and shoot at Carrie, wanting to force her out of downtown Boston.
More and more helicopters appeared, and even ground troops surrounded the area. Carrie could only keep running in the forest.
However, Carrie, who had been directly hit by three missiles, was severely injured. After running for a while, her body began to give out, and she reverted to her human form.
Fortunately, due to the dense forest, the FEA people hadn't noticed her transformation yet.
But the FEAR ground troops were getting closer and closer, while Carrie, having reverted to human form, had a greatly reduced physical ability and could no longer run.
Was she going to be caught?
Carrie remembered the science fiction movies she had watched before, where the captured aliens all ended up on the operating table, becoming a pile of parts.
This outcome terrified Carrie. She didn't want to become like that.
If it had to be this way, Carrie would rather self-destruct than become a test subject for the federal government.
Thinking this, Carrie didn't pay attention to her feet and tripped over something, falling to the ground.
At this point, Carrie was very weak and had no strength to get up.
It seemed this was the end. She hoped Madison, Zoe, Maria, and Emma could escape safely.
Carrie didn't regret her choice to sacrifice herself to buy time for her friends. She even felt a sense of relief.
It was just that Carrie couldn't help but think of the boy who had appeared in her dream.
It was over…
Carrie looked up at the sky, preparing to immolate herself with her remaining magic, when suddenly a hand covered her mouth.
"Shhh! Don't talk!"
A pleasant voice whispered in her ear, and then Carrie saw a beautiful woman in a white dress kneeling beside her.
The beautiful woman made a few gestures, and invisible magic emanated from her hands. Carrie suddenly felt as if her surroundings were covered by a transparent veil.
Just at this moment, a helicopter flew over with a searchlight. The people on this helicopter seemed unable to see Carrie and the beautiful woman. After pausing for a moment, it flew away into the distance.
Subsequently, the FEAR ground troops also passed by here, but no one gave Carrie and the beautiful woman a second glance. The two of them seemed to be isolated from the rest of the world.
After the sound of the helicopter and ground troops gradually faded away, the beautiful woman removed the veil made of magic.
"Your injuries are severe! My name is Wendy. What's your name?"
"Car...rie..."
Having suffered severe physical and mental trauma, Carrie was about to close her eyes after temporarily finding safety.
"Don't fall asleep yet! Are you a student at the witch school? Carrie? Carrie?"
The scene shifted to the other young witches.
After escaping the battlefield between Carrie and the beautiful woman, the young witches didn't know where to run for a while.
These young witches came from all over the country and were not locals.
Emma was from Waterfall Town, Texas. Madison had lived in Los Angeles for many years. Zoe was from New Orleans, and Maria was from Canada.
That's right, Maria wasn't American; she was Canadian.
But young Canadian witches were also under the jurisdiction of the American Witch Coven, just as the entire country of Canada was America's little brother.
However, Madison made a suggestion. She had a property in Boston, and the young witches could go there to rest and then figure out a solution together.
All the young witches agreed to this suggestion, so they began to move towards Madison's property.
The distance wasn't too far, but it was a considerable challenge for several teenage girls who lacked exercise.
Finally, just before they were about to collapse from exhaustion, the young witches finally arrived at Madison's property, a beautiful white garden villa.
