Volume 3: Angel Sanctuary Arc
Chapter 16: The Wise and the Mad
Luo Yuxi, suspended in midair by an invisible force, felt helpless.
“Can’t you just give me the key? I’ve been stuck in this damn place for long enough!”
“So you were just putting on a show. You’re just a pathetic prisoner.”
Luo Yuxi, feeling the pressure on her body, finally understood the importance of the key.
“You must have seen her when you left the Holy City~”
The Nameless Witch raised her hand, and Luo Yuxi’s collar was unbuttoned, her fair skin exposed. The witch touched her chest.
Luo Yuxi moaned softly, looking at the key-shaped mark on her chest. The Nameless Witch knew she had to transfer the mark to get the key.
“Do you know why the angels, a divine race, appeared in the lower realm?”
Luo Yuxi looked at the witch’s darkening expression, her aura growing more profound. She felt like she had accidentally entered a boss room.
“Who knows, and I don’t want to know! Let me go!”
“Haha, you’re right, who would want to know such things? The Goddess loves the world, but I have been abandoned by it~”
The witch was about to reach into Luo Yuxi’s chest when a memory, long dead, suddenly attacked her.
“You’re the All-Knowing Witch!!!!”
“Hmm?”
The Nameless Witch’s eyes cleared. Luo Yuxi finally remembered. She hadn’t been absent from the game, she had been so obvious that Luo Yuxi had overlooked her. She recalled the final CG of the game.
[The End of the World]
“You… you’re the witch who knows everything, aren’t you?!”
After failing to capture all the witches, the protagonist had faced this very girl during the world’s destruction.
“I don’t remember writing that in The History of Witches…”
The Nameless Witch, previously a vague figure, now became clearer. Her long, inky black hair cascaded to the floor, her evening gown elegant and graceful. Although small, her presence was no weaker than any witch Luo Yuxi had encountered. Her face was identical to the witch in the CG.
“A witch who believes in the Goddess, trying to desecrate the divine realm and become a god to see Her.”
“No, where did you hear that? There’s no record of it anywhere!”
[Name: Blank]
[All-Knowing Witch] = [Nameless Witch]
[More arrogant than the Pride Witch, believing she could touch the divine, she was stripped of her authority and forgotten by the world. A prisoner of the Holy City.]
[Remaining Imprisonment Time: 13,687,600 Years]
Luo Yuxi looked at the blank name on the panel, realizing the Holy City was a prison. Seeing the Nameless Witch’s shocked expression, she didn’t have the heart to tell her that all her information was displayed on the panel.
“So you’re a prisoner, trying to use the key to escape…”
“I… I just want to leave this place…”
“Even if you leave with the key, there’s still an archangel up there. So she’s also here to watch you.”
Luo Yuxi felt the restraints on her body loosen. The Nameless Witch collapsed, the broken Goddess statue behind her now restored. Luo Yuxi sighed and approached the witch who had just tried to kill her.
“You didn’t think about what to do after you got the key, did you?”
“Just leave here, that’s all…”
Luo Yuxi sensed the witch’s instability. She couldn’t imagine being imprisoned for so long. She would have gone mad.
“Hey, are you really crazy? At least tell me how to get out of here!”
Luo Yuxi poked the vacant-eyed witch, who fell to the ground like a puppet.
“Can’t get out, can’t get out…”
The Nameless Witch muttered to herself. Luo Yuxi panicked, thinking, Am I going to be trapped here too?
“This is bad, I’m a prisoner now!”
The sound of a violin filled the air. Luo Yuxi turned and saw another identical girl beneath the purple crystal statue.
In the stained-glass light, the familiar black hair, the vacant eyes, the same face, but a different outfit, more like a bard, playing the same violin.
“Wh-What’s going on…?”
Luo Yuxi looked at the two identical girls, one on the floor, one by the statue.
“Put away your shock, First Apostle~”
“Ah, not me…?!”
“I’ve been mad for a long time, trapped here for countless years. I have to find some entertainment, right…?”
The smiling Nameless Witch put down her violin and kicked aside her crazed self.
“You know so much about me, you must have the authority I was stripped of~”
“What authority? I don’t know what you’re—”
Luo Yuxi paused, remembering the magic circle and the game loading screen mark on her hand.
“So what if I do…?”
“The authority to know everything, it’s quite useful, isn’t it? How about a deal, Apostle~?”
“Let you out?”
The Nameless Witch’s eyes flickered, but her expression quickly returned to normal.
“Even if I was once the closest to the divine, what can I do now that I’ve been stripped of my authority~?”
“So you don’t want to leave?”
“Of course I do! But I can’t. So I have to use another method~”
“What method?”
Luo Yuxi looked at the witch, her eyes filled with a desperate desire for freedom and a crazed obsession. She had a bad feeling.
“It would take too long for you to figure it out. I can’t wait that long, I might go crazy before the next ‘me’ appears~”
The Nameless Witch dragged her other self to the door and, opening it to a black void, threw her in.
“What! What are you doing?!”
“I just threw away the crazy me. To maintain my sanity, I have to do this. Don’t worry, the ‘me’ here has no body, it’s just a fragment of my consciousness~”
Luo Yuxi couldn’t believe the witch’s madness. She knew her next words would be even crazier.
The Nameless Witch looked at Luo Yuxi, the solemn church now her prison.
“I want you to become a goddess!”
“Huh?”
“If I can’t get out, then I’ll just create a god, and you can let me out~”
“You’re really crazy…”
Luo Yuxi looked at the witch, thinking, I must be crazy too, trying to reason with a madwoman.
“Alright, no time to waste, let’s start with the first step~”
The witch happily ran down from the dais. Luo Yuxi wondered how she planned to turn her into a god. The small witch approached her.
In the solemn church, the witch began to unbutton her clothes. As she removed her top, her fair skin glowed in the stained-glass light, her black hair cascading over her shoulders like a dark fruit.
“Wait! Wait! We were just talking! Why are you taking off your clothes?!”
“This is the first step to becoming a god. It would take too long for you to figure it out on your own. It’s better if you experience the wonders of a demigod’s body firsthand~”
“Wait, wait, this isn’t right!”
The plot had taken an unexpected turn. As expected of an 18+ game.
“Don’t worry, it might be a little uncomfortable at first, but I’ll guide you~”
“No, no, you’re crazy! If you want to have fun, don’t do it like this!!!”
“Come on, put your hand here, feel it, can you feel it now~?”
“So soft, ah, no! Get away from me! Even if you want to seduce me, you don’t have to do it like this!!”
Luo Yuxi looked at the now-naked Nameless Witch, the serious discussion turned into a lewd scene. She felt every inch of her skin being explored, the witch even moaning in response.
“This is too slow. Take off your clothes, let’s get closer—”
“No! No! Wait, don’t take off my clothes!!”
