Volume 3: Angel Sanctuary Arc
Chapter 20: Domain Battle
In the ravaged battlefield, the black seal began to break, unnoticed, but the Seven Deadly Sins Witches had already moved on.
Inside the seal, Ruo Li was partially frozen in time. The Time Witch’s control had weakened, and only a part of Ruo Li’s body was affected.
“I can feel this domain weakening. It seems you’re not so unshakable after all.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. I’m… I’m not doing so well right now~”
Ruo Li tried to raise her hands, but they were frozen, immobile. The Time Witch snapped her fingers.
[Unique Magic: Time Stop]
“It seems your domain doesn’t completely prohibit magic. I can feel my control over time strengthening…”
Ruo Li’s legs also froze. She looked at the approaching Time Witch and forced a smirk.
“S-So what if you’ve regained your control over time? In this domain, neither of us can harm the other, although it’s the same for me~”
“Really? Then what about this…?”
The Time Witch pushed Ruo Li, who fell to the ground, helpless. The intense stimulation had taken its toll, and even the touch of her clothes against her skin was unbearable.
“You bastard, you were enjoying yourself just now, how can you be so unaffected?!”
Ruo Li looked at the Time Witch, whose expression was unchanged, not at all like she was faking it.
“Since I’ve regained some control over time, I can just keep rewinding my body to its state from a second ago…”
Hearing this, Ruo Li’s resolve crumbled. Even though she had trapped the Time Witch, her time magic was like a cheat code, foiling her every plan.
“Damn it, th-this is cheating…!”
“Although it’s not a glorious victory, the reality is that I’m stronger than you, stronger than anyone…”
“E-Even if you can constantly rewind time, as long as I… as long as I hold on, you can’t escape!”
“Why bother…?”
Ruo Li, her spirit broken, watched as the Time Witch pushed her down, a look of defeat in her eyes. Even if I can’t win, at least I won’t let her escape.
“I’ll have to end this. If this drags on, things will get complicated…”
[Unique Magic: Eternal Time Space]
The Time Witch crouched down, and a black and white space expanded from her, freezing everything it touched.
“Time stop?!”
Ruo Li panicked, trying to escape the black and white space, but her frozen limbs wouldn’t move. As the space enveloped her, her body also turned black and white.
She looked around at the colorless world, her mind racing, trying to find a way out. She could see, hear, and think, but her body was frozen.
“What’s going on? Why can I still think? Isn’t this time stop? And I can see?”
The Time Witch ripped open Ruo Li’s clothes, then, seeing one last line of defense, tore it off as well. The “cherry cake” was exposed. Ruo Li’s mind went blank.
“I’ve stopped your world, but not your thoughts. If I’m not mistaken, your body is in a very sensitive state right now…”
The “cherry cake,” now flushed with a seductive pink hue, was even more tempting under the domain’s effect. The Time Witch reached out and squeezed. Ruo Li screamed internally, knowing she couldn’t withstand such rough treatment.
“It’s soft even when time is stopped…”
Ruo Li closed her eyes in despair, but she felt nothing. She opened her eyes and saw the Time Witch’s hands on her, but she couldn’t feel a thing. She finally understood.
“After time is stopped, my senses are also stopped. In that case, there’s nothing to be afraid of~!”
Ruo Li, realizing this, watched as the Time Witch’s hands moved over her. In her hyper-sensitive state, she would have been defeated in an instant, but without any sensation, she was safe.
“You must be thinking that without sensation, there’s nothing to be afraid of…”
“!!!”
Ruo Li’s heart skipped a beat. The Time Witch smiled, her hands moving gently, as if demonstrating a technique, even though Ruo Li couldn’t feel it. Her other hand moved towards another weak point. In this eternal time, everything seemed to last forever. Although time was stopped, Ruo Li felt a sense of suffocation, as if being strangled by a demon. She could only watch as the Time Witch’s hands moved over her.
“Time stop is just a state. Although you’re thinking, all your other functions are stopped…”
The Time Witch’s hands moved faster. Ruo Li, not understanding, felt a sense of dread as the Time Witch’s touch became more and more intimate.
“In such a hyper-sensitive state, being stimulated like this, what if I turn over a full cup of water when everything is stopped…?”
“!!!”
The Time Witch stopped, a satisfied smile on her face as she saw the fear in Ruo Li’s eyes. She withdrew her left hand, savoring Ruo Li’s tortured expression. Ruo Li bit her lip, but she couldn’t resist. The Time Witch lifted her chin.
“It seems you’ve figured it out. No matter how much you resist, it’s useless. When time resumes, the cup of water will fall and shatter~”
The Time Witch grabbed Ruo Li’s ankles, her body like a puppet in her hands. Her last line of defense was gone.
“This isn’t a glorious way to win…”
The Time Witch gently positioned Ruo Li’s body, as if preparing for a cruel act. Ruo Li watched in despair as the Time Witch “guided” her, her body a mere vessel for the Time Witch’s “lesson.”
She didn’t know how much time had passed, but the Time Witch finally stood up, got dressed, and looked at the masterpiece she had created. She touched Ruo Li’s stomach and whispered in her ear,
“I hope you can hold on and not go mad…”
The Time Witch snapped her fingers, and the black and white world vanished. Ruo Li’s body, which had been frozen, suddenly relaxed.
“You… you bastard… eh?”
As she tried to stand up, she collapsed, an indescribable sensation overwhelming her, every inch of her body on fire, a wave of pleasure so intense it was almost painful, her mind blank. She bit her lip, trying to stop the strange sensation, but the blood dripping onto her collar was a testament to her struggle.
“L-Liar… why won’t it stop?! My… my brain is going to explode…!”
Ruo Li’s stamina bar instantly depleted, and the sealed domain shattered. Covered in love bites and battle scars, she lay on the ground, her eyes rolled back.
No one knew what had happened in the space, only that the concentrated magic power had transformed the entire area into a high-magic zone. The Time Witch wiped her hands with a handkerchief and looked at the unconscious Ruo Li.
“It seems I went too far…”
The Time Witch looked around, the other witches gone. She sensed the lingering magic in the air, even a trace of divine arts. She frowned.
“Witches and the Church working together?”
