Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc
Chapter 50: I Feel Like I Can Do It Again
Luo Yuxi was completely unable to see the two figures fighting in the sky, only flashes of the Time Witch teleporting, while Ailani, who had been on the offensive, was now at a disadvantage, constantly changing direction to avoid her attacks.
“This is bad. If the Saintess loses, will I be next…?”
Luo Yuxi watched anxiously from behind a tree. She couldn’t even get close to the battle, let alone help. Just then, a familiar voice echoed in her ear.
[Feeling helpless? First Order, so what? Just accept me, and even the gods of the divine realm will be playthings in your hands~]
Luo Yuxi turned and saw her dark doppelganger floating beside her, her sinister smile as unsettling as ever. Luo Yuxi felt the key-shaped mark on her chest stir, as if craving battle.
“No way, something like you must have huge side effects. I, Luo Yuxi, would rather be ravaged by witches and die in bed than accept your evil power!”
[Such a hard mouth. The power of the divine realm, how can it be evil? Whatever, I’ve said it before, one day you’ll beg me for this power~]
The dark Luo Yuxi faded away. Luo Yuxi, although puzzled by her doppelganger’s easy retreat, turned her attention back to the battle. There were no spectacular skills, just two figures flashing around, creating powerful shockwaves.
“A First Order battle is less impressive than a Second Order one…”
Luo Yuxi recalled Doris creating a lake with a single punch. That was exciting. But this was just pressure and aftershocks. As she complained, a stray attack hit the tree in front of her. The tree instantly bloomed, bore fruit, and then withered, the fruit rotting into dust before it even hit the ground.
“What the—!!”
Luo Yuxi stared at the withered tree, a cold sweat running down her back.
“I take that back. I’ll stay further away…!”
Luo Yuxi ran further away. The Time Witch’s attacks were terrifying. Ailani, moving at near light speed, dodged the time magic, but even a slight graze from the magic turned the fabric of her divine robes to dust.
“So fast, but all this jumping around is a waste of time…”
“Really? You think it’s a waste of time? Then why not just let me kill you?”
Ailani teleported a thousand meters away, golden light emanating from her eyes. But no matter how fast she moved, the Time Witch always anticipated her, setting traps in her path. Ailani looked at the clock-like pupils of the Time Witch, each tick revealing her future movements.
“The Time Domain, where time is mine to control. The Pure White Domain, where you can only harm me…”
“I’m sure your domain has more to it than that.”
Ailani looked at the 100-meter white circle around the Time Witch. She had tried to approach, but her instincts screamed at her not to enter the white domain, even within the Time Domain.
“You’re right, there are a few other effects, but there’s no need to explain them to you…”
[Unique Magic: Witch’s Pocket Watch]
“Not good!!”
As the silver clock on the Time Witch’s back stopped, a strange feeling washed over Ailani. She found a dagger embedded in her stomach and quickly retreated.
“Only seven seconds? But that’s enough…”
“Damn it! When did you—?”
Ailani, no longer the dignified Saintess, pulled out the dagger, her divine robes stained with blood. Although her healing magic closed the wound, the unexpected attack had shaken her.
“If my magic power hadn’t been frozen, I would have killed you just now…”
“Really? Thank you for the information…”
“Next time, it’ll be your head…”
Luo Yuxi, seeing the injured Saintess, panicked, searching for something to help.
“Sloth’s pillow? No. Pride’s self-portrait? Useless. Lust’s black stockings? When did I get these?”
Luo Yuxi frantically searched her bag as the two clashed again. Besides that damn key, I must have something useful! Isn’t the chosen one supposed to get a powerful item at a crucial moment?
[Succubus Tears Potion x3]
[Loli Transformation Potion x1]
[Yun Keke’s used white stockings x1]
[Magical Girl Transformation Device x1]
[Lewd Nun’s Habit x1]
…
“What is all this junk?! A magical girl transformation device? The armor probably wouldn’t even withstand a single blow…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the strange items in her bag, none of them useful. Then she saw her skill, its cooldown finished.
[Divine Art: Divine Word]
“This skill is ready…?”
Luo Yuxi remembered the skill, which had appeared at the same time as the Divine Key. It could manipulate reality, easily breaking the chains that had bound the protagonist. It was a cheat skill.
“It’s finally my turn to be the hero~!”
Luo Yuxi, filled with a strange confidence, walked towards the battle, ignoring the destroyed trees, her invincible stride unfazed by the stray attacks.
“Stop! Let me end this pointless conflict!”
Luo Yuxi adjusted her nun’s habit and pointed at the two figures in the sky. They both stopped, their gazes drawn to the weak but confident nun.
“What are you doing?! Get away from here, or else—!”
“Shh, Saintess, leave the rest to me~”
