Chapter 13: A Witch’s Melee
After only a few seconds, Doris was struggling under the onslaught of time. She pierced the nearest Time Witch with her claws, and the world turned gray, the tentacles on the ground freezing.
[Unique Magic: Time Domain – Midnight Chime]
“I didn’t want to use this…”
The clocks on the back of each Time Witch glowed, their hands spinning, and the world stopped.
“I really don’t want to use this magic, now I’ll have to live for a long time…”
As a witch, her lifespan was already long, but as the Time Witch, it was practically eternal. Every time she stopped time, the stolen time was added to her own, a cruel irony.
The Time Witch sneered, her silver spear turning into a dagger, the clock on her back losing its hour hand. She looked at the frozen Doris.
“This boring farce should end. When that nun comes looking for you, I’ll resurrect you…”
In the colorless world, the Time Witch’s dagger pierced Doris’s heart. Peronice, the Pride Witch, also had her throat slit.
[Unique Magic: Time Imprisonment]
[Domain: Release]
Time resumed its flow. Doris, who had been about to attack, froze, looking at the dagger in her chest in disbelief.
“Damn it! When did you…?”
“Game over…”
Doris, her heart pierced, used her remaining magic to push the Time Witch away, then fell from the sky like a broken bird. Peronice, seeing this, tried to call out, but no sound came out. She clutched her throat, blood seeping through her fingers.
“I can’t speak, it hurts…”
In a battle of this level, a moment’s hesitation was fatal. Peronice, realizing her mistake, tried to use her mirror to defend herself, but five silver spears pierced through it, impaling her.
“Cough… cough, cough… ugh…”
Peronice moved her lips, but no sound came out. She looked at the five emotionless Time Witches, her magic mirror shattering into stardust.
Peronice was pinned to a cliff, her heart spared, but the time magic on the spears prevented her from healing.
“Should we kill her?”
“No need, she can’t move…”
“But she’s First Order, we should kill her…”
“Do what you want, I’m not doing it.”
“Let the me from this timeline decide…”
…
Peronice, although impaled, raised her head proudly and, although unable to speak, mouthed a curse and gave them the middle finger.
“She’s still feisty…”
“Let’s just kill her.”
“My mission is complete, I’m not staying. I’m going back…”
“Did she just curse us?”
…
The Time Witches, with differing opinions, left Peronice. Meanwhile, Doris lay in a crater, the golden divine light fading from her body. Xia, who had been fused with her, appeared, her face emotionless, and placed her hand on Doris’s chest.
[Divine Art: Life Transfer]
“I killed her over a hundred times, and I still couldn’t stop her once…”
“Don’t talk. We’re sharing a life force now. If it breaks, your heart can’t be healed…”
Although Xia was keeping Doris alive, the Time Witch, like a specter of death, approached them.
Xia’s golden eyes met the Time Witch’s silver ones, both devoid of emotion. The Time Witch’s spear pointed at them.
“Any last words…?”
“…”
Xia didn’t answer, continuing to channel her life force into Doris. The Time Witch, showing no mercy, raised her spear, which transformed into a silver blade.
“Just go to sleep…”
As the blade was about to fall, Doris slammed her fist on the ground and shouted,
“How long are you going to pretend to be asleep?!”
The Time Witch, knowing Doris wouldn’t shout for no reason, looked around, even using Time Stop, but she couldn’t find anyone.
“A desperate bluff…?”
As she released the Time Stop, two pale hands shot out from the ground and grabbed her ankles.
“Got~ you~!”
A seductive voice came from the ground, and a black-haired succubus with demonic horns emerged, a crazed smile on her face.
“A succubus? A stray from the magic constructs…?”
The Time Witch, seeing the unfamiliar succubus, felt a sense of familiarity but dismissed her as one of Ruo Li’s creations.
“A nuisance…”
“Doris! You owe me for this!”
Hearing the succubus call out Doris’s name, the Time Witch realized something was wrong. She had the same aura as the Lust Witch she had just killed.
“The Lust Witch?”
“Domain Expansion!!!”
[Unique Magic: Domain – Cage of Lust]
The Time Witch tried to use Time Stop, but she was too late. The black-haired succubus’s tongue, covered in strange markings, glowed, and a square space enveloped them, then vanished. The battlefield fell silent, the other Time Witches returning to their own timelines.
“So I had to use this domain. Being trapped with you…”
In a pink-hued space, Ruo Li brushed her red hair aside, her appearance returning to normal. The Time Witch looked at her, the witch she had just killed.
“You transferred your soul to one of your creations? You should have just stayed hidden. Below First Order, all are ants…”
“My domain is small, it can only hold two people. But it can also trap two people~”
Ruo Li, although she had used the soul transfer spell, was still weak, her legs trembling, but her smile was crazed.
The Time Witch, not wanting to waste time, stabbed her with a silver spear, but the spear broke upon contact.
“Hmm?”
“So impatient. In my domain, all magic is weakened by 90%. Your spear, made of pure magic~”
[Unique Magic: Time Stop]
The Time Witch’s magic was blocked, even Time Stop had no effect.
Ruo Li snapped her fingers, and a heart-shaped bar appeared above both of their heads. The Time Witch was confused.
“You’ve been hiding such a domain? I’m curious, why are you only using it now…?”
“This kind of domain, from a lewd manga, I didn’t want to use it…”
A domain that could bypass Order levels had to have a drawback. The Time Witch felt her body heat up, her breathing becoming heavy.
“Feeling hot? In my domain, you’ll slowly fall into a state of arousal. Let’s see which breaks first, your mind or your body~”
Ruo Li backed away, her trembling legs indicating the domain’s side effect. The Time Witch wanted to kill her, but after taking a few steps, the friction of her clothes against her skin made her collapse.
“And that bar above your head is your stamina bar. Whoever’s bar runs out first loses~”
Thud!
The Time Witch fainted. Ruo Li looked at her, surprised. She hadn’t even lasted a minute.
“No way? She fainted already…?”
Ruo Li sat against a wall, looking at the unconscious Time Witch, thinking she would just wait it out. In this domain, neither could harm the other. To escape, they would have to engage in… activities.
But Ruo Li would rather die than do that with an enemy. As time passed, she also felt the effects of the domain, her body covered in sweat.
“Doris… when… I get out, I’m… going to… make you my slave…”
Ruo Li, her face flushed, gasped for air, her legs clamped together. The Time Witch slowly sat up, her usual calm expression gone, her face flushed, her silver eyes vacant. She gritted her teeth, her legs also clamped together.
“If… you beg me now, I… might make you feel good~”
“Sh-Shameless…”
“Hmph, I don’t want to! I… I can still hold on…”
The Time Witch had never felt so helpless. She had been holding back for an hour, but although she had lived for centuries, her practical experience was zero. She didn’t know what to do next.
Ruo Li’s condition wasn’t much better. The Time Witch, who had been her enemy just moments ago, now looked incredibly alluring. She licked her lips.
“The Time Witch… maybe… no! My target is that pink-haired nun!”
Ruo Li stood up, enduring the strange sensation of her sensitive skin, and licked her fingers, looking at the heart-shaped bar above the Time Witch’s head, her eyes gleaming.
That’s not a stamina bar, it’s a sensitivity bar. In this highly sensitive state, a single touch would be enough to break her.
“I just have to make her lose, that’s right, just make her lose…“
