Reincarnated as a Holy Nun, I Refuse to Lose! v2c51

Volume 2: Witch Kingdom Arc

Chapter 51: The Nun’s Bluff

Luo Yuxi’s confident demeanor made Ailani hesitate. She recalled Luo Yuxi’s Witch Domination ability and thought, So she’s not just an ordinary nun.

“I know your Witch Domination skill can control Second Order witches, but a First Order witch can’t be controlled so easily…!”

Luo Yuxi was confused. She hadn’t said she would control the Time Witch. Her little lie to save herself had created a bigger problem.

“I’m not going to control her, I’m going to defeat her!”

Luo Yuxi pointed at the Time Witch in the sky, her arrogant gesture making Ailani even more confused. She was just a 10th Order nun.

“Defeat me…?”

The Time Witch looked around, making sure Luo Yuxi was talking to her.

[Divine Art: Divine Word]

“I’ll defeat you with this, no matter the cost! The Time Witch will be my defeated foe!”

[Insufficient Balance]

“???”

Luo Yuxi had been planning her victory speech, but the panel’s notification was like a bucket of cold water.

“Wait, that’s not right! I said, ‘no matter the cost’!”

[Even if you sacrifice your life, you can only make her sprain her ankle.]

“…”

The Time Witch, seeing Luo Yuxi’s silence, thought she was preparing a powerful attack. She had initially been unconcerned, but remembering how she had been humiliated before, she erected several layers of protective barriers.

“What’s your trick…?”

“Ahem… my next move, you probably can’t handle it…”

Luo Yuxi maintained her arrogant facade, but a cold sweat ran down her back. She had to bluff her way out of this.

“I have to see this through, even if it’s a lie…”

The Time Witch, hearing Luo Yuxi’s words, teleported in front of her. Ailani was about to intervene, but seeing Luo Yuxi’s calm demeanor, even with the Time Witch so close, she hesitated.

“I’d like to see what kind of move I can’t handle…”

The Time Witch threw a dagger, without any magic or power, just a simple test. But Luo Yuxi didn’t even flinch as the dagger grazed her cheek.

“Why didn’t you dodge…?”

“Because I’m not afraid~”

Luo Yuxi’s confident reply made even Ailani forget about the battle, her weapon slowly lowering. The Time Witch’s eyes flickered with interest.

“You’re a strange one. You were so scared before, but now…”

The Time Witch approached, closing the distance between them. Ailani didn’t intervene, curious to see what Luo Yuxi would do.

“Are you really not afraid of me…?”

“I’m not afraid~”

Luo Yuxi looked at the witch who had killed her once, now less than a meter away, her breath catching in her throat. She glanced at Ailani, pleading for help.

“I’m going to die, I’m going to die! Saintess, I was wrong, I won’t be arrogant anymore, please save me!”

Ailani noticed Luo Yuxi’s subtle plea, her winking eye, and her confident expression. She thought she understood.

“A nun, trying to do this? She wants me to stay out of it? Alright, let’s see what you’ve got, Nun Luo Yuxi!”

Luo Yuxi’s face stiffened as she saw Ailani’s encouraging gesture. She felt a sense of despair.

“What did you understand?! You didn’t understand anything!”

Luo Yuxi didn’t dare move. The Time Witch, who could kill her thousands of times over, was right in front of her. Whoever moved first, Luo Yuxi would be the one to die.

“I can’t see through you. You’re only 10th Order, but that 2nd Order witch would do anything for you…”

“You mean Doris?! What happened to her?!”

“I killed her. She’s gone…”

“…”

The Time Witch watched Luo Yuxi, but she showed no reaction to the news of her friend’s death.

“No reaction to your friend’s death? How cold-blooded…”

“I’m a nun, she’s a witch. We’re not friends…”

The Time Witch paused, then turned away, as if trying to hide her expression. But Luo Yuxi saw her trembling body.

“Interesting. Why don’t you become a witch? It would suit you.”

“Then you should give me back my friend…”

“That girl? She’s in my castle. But do you dare come…?”

The Time Witch vanished into the shadows. Luo Yuxi stared at the empty space, still in a state of disbelief.

“She’s gone?”

“Are you alright? She ran away, I have to go after her!”

Ailani tried to track her, but the Time Witch was gone, leaving no trace. Luo Yuxi, finally safe, collapsed.

“I can finally breathe…”

“What did you say to her? Why did she let you go?”

“Forget about that, let me rest. She took Xia to her castle. We have to go there to save her…”

Luo Yuxi tried to stand, but her legs were weak. She hadn’t realized how much the confrontation had drained her. She felt a warmth between her legs and realized she had wet herself. Ailani looked around.

“There’s a small house over there. We can rest there, then I’ll take you back to the Church…”

“Thank you, Saintess.”

A golden light enveloped Luo Yuxi. Meanwhile, in a dilapidated cabin, a twintailed loli, playing with tarot cards, felt a chill.

“Why do I have a bad feeling…?“
