Reincarnated as a Holy Nun, I Refuse to Lose! v3c4

Chapter 4: A Decisive Counterattack

While Luo Yuxi was facing a major crisis, in the Time Castle, the Time Witch looked at her cards, her brow furrowed. Across from her, Doris, the Wrath Witch, looked at her own cards with a relaxed expression.

“Well? Are you out of options~?”

“Time will reveal all…”

“So what if you’re First Order? Playing cards requires skill and strategy~”

Doris arrogantly pushed two of her cards forward. The Time Witch, who had been about to play a bomb, was blocked by Doris’s two kings. Her usually calm expression flickered.

“Can’t play, can you? All I have left are four aces, how can you beat me~?”

As Doris was about to play her cards, she felt a strange shift in space. She looked up at the Time Witch, who was smiling faintly, and had a bad feeling. She looked at her hand, and her four aces had turned into two threes and two aces.

“You’re cheating! You must have used Time Stop!”

“Time is fair, but I am not…”

Doris had lost over 40 games in a row, always losing at the last moment. She had made a bet with the Time Witch: if she won, she could leave the castle.

“What are you doing?! We agreed to play fairly, but you always cheat at the last second!”

“Time is fair, but I am not…”

The Time Witch calmly sipped her tea. Doris, although angry, was powerless. Neither brute force nor powerful attacks had worked. Even after leveling the surrounding area for a hundred miles, she was always brought back to the castle.

“I’m going to find Luo Yuxi! My Master!”

“I told you, she will come to you. Instead of being so restless, why don’t you learn from her…?”

The Time Witch pointed at Xia, who was still sitting by the window, gazing outside. Doris looked at her angrily. Although she was wearing Church attire, she was calmer than Doris, sitting still all day, like a statue.

“I don’t have the patience to stay here…”

“Everyone has important things to do. Why not slow down and enjoy the moment…?”

The Time Witch sipped her tea, her expression unchanged. After all, who would know if she had used Time Stop to switch the cards?

“I can’t take it anymore!”

[Unique Magic: Crushing Blow]

Doris punched, and the exquisite castle crumbled into dust. She looked at the outside world, then sat back down on the sofa. The Time Witch calmly put down her teacup, and the destroyed walls reassembled, as if time was reversing.

“Feeling better now…?”

“How could I? If you let me beat you to death, I might feel some relief…”

The Time Witch ignored Doris’s taunts and stood up, a round mirror appearing before her. A familiar figure appeared on its surface.

“Luo Yuxi!”

Doris’s eyes were glued to the image of Luo Yuxi, lying on a bed, a golden veil on her face, adorned with jewels, like a beautiful, fragile doll.

“No, why is she wearing that?! What if someone takes advantage of her?!”

Xia, who had been looking out the window, also saw the image, her usual gentle expression turning cold.

“Yuxi… is not safe…”

Doris stood up, a surge of jealousy washing over her. Luo Yuxi was wearing clothes she had never worn for Doris, and now others were seeing her like this. Just as they were both fuming, a winged figure with a halo appeared in the mirror.

“Who is that?! Why is an angel with Luo Yuxi?!”

Doris punched the wall, about to fly out, but she was back on the sofa, the Time Witch still sipping her tea.

“Let me go! I know what those angels are really like! A beautiful nun like Luo Yuxi will definitely be—”

A golden orb of light shot out, not from Doris, but from Xia, who was now glaring at the Time Witch.

[Divine Art: Holy Light Scorch]

“Die…”

Doris was surprised by Xia’s sudden change, but seeing her finally fight back, she smirked and joined the attack.

“That’s more like it, little girl! If you had fought with me earlier, we would have been out of here!”

[Unique Magic: Body Enhancement]

“Yuxi…”

Despite their fierce attacks, the Time Witch remained unharmed, sitting calmly. With a snap of her fingers, the world turned black and white. Doris felt a sense of dread, and she was once again trapped in a time stop.

“Resisting time is always foolish…”

[Divine Art: Divine Indulgence]

The time stop shattered. Doris was free. The Time Witch looked at Xia in surprise. She hadn’t expected her time stop to be broken so easily.

“Divine Indulgence…?”

“Time is fragile when it’s stopped. A small disturbance can destroy it…”

Xia looked at the Time Witch, her face emotionless. Doris was surprised. She hadn’t expected her most troublesome skill to be broken so easily.

“That divine art should only allow for a two-second time reversal. She used that to break the time stop…?”

Doris, not wasting any time, charged at the Time Witch, her punch creating a sonic boom, but time stopped again, just as she was about to hit her.

“I told you this trick—”

[Divine Art: Divine Indulgence]

BAM!!

The Time Witch was sent flying, crashing into a wall, coughing up blood. Doris felt the satisfying impact of her punch.

“Nice one, little girl! I’ve been waiting to punch you for a long time, Time Witch~”

“Cough, cough… I underestimated you. I’m injured…”

The Time Witch stood up, wiping the blood from her lips, her eyes still calm. Doris knew that even a First Order couldn’t be defeated so easily.

“Then let’s continue~! This time, I’ll hit you a few more times~”
