Chapter 075 The Dark Rose!
At the temporary command post, an elderly man, Wei Jianhong, remained motionless, calmly awaiting the investigators' report on the situation in Qianhe County.
After listening to the investigators' report, Peng Tianyou spoke expressionlessly, "Five years ago, we thought we could kill the witch and deal with the anomalies that erupted after her death. But now, the anomalies left behind by that witch have fully erupted and are about to become explicit, causing an even greater disaster!"
"What will happen when the aggregated anomalies left behind by the deaths of multiple novice witches confront this advanced, soon-to-be-manifested anomaly?"
One side is winning by quantity, and the other side is winning by quality. What will the result be?
Wei Jianhong's cloudy eyes gleamed with an unusual light. "The outcome doesn't matter. What matters is that the Zero Witch, or rather, the strongest clone of the Zero Witch, will become a high-level witch and rule over the other clones."
"And this witch is the only witch we've managed to control," Wei Jianhong said calmly and steadily.
Peng Tianyou then looked into the distance, in the direction of the anomalous entity. "If the plan fails, do we really have to detonate the nuclear mine array?"
Wei Jianhong did not reply, but looked into the distance, his gaze matching that of Peng Tianyou.
……
At the same time, Luo Xi watched as Wei Ying blocked her first wave of attacks.
The witch reacted quickly, especially since she had a special sense of danger.
Despite being caught off guard by her D-rank witch, Wei Ying still managed to mount an effective counterattack!
Suddenly, a blazing fire dragon appeared out of thin air and attacked her directly!
In the real world, she cannot use her consciousness to move as she does in the world of consciousness. Therefore, she can only use the magical property of material interference—telekinesis—to manipulate the surrounding soil and gravel to form a protective shield for defense.
The flames had turned blue, the surrounding air was completely distorted, and the terrifying heat was ravaging her body!
"Why?" Wei Ying's voice came through the mind communication. "We fought side by side, we were comrades who fought together! Why did you have to attack?"
"I'm sorry," Luo Xi paused for a moment, "I've already told you about this anomalous entity. Only when our magical properties are combined can we possibly fight against it."
"Are you treating us like tools to handle anomalies?" Wei Ying's voice in the consciousness communication was somewhat angry, but Luo Xi didn't care at all.
Wei Ying, a D-rank witch, possesses magical properties of controlling flames, distorting matter, and communicating consciousness. These three magical properties represent the domains of matter interference, energy interference, and soul interference, respectively.
Recalling Wei Ying's intelligence in her mind, Luo Xi formulated a battle plan.
Metal control? There's no metal to be found in the mountains and forests.
Telekinesis? Telekinesis could be used as a supplementary attack method.
Activation? Activation can enhance one's own defense, seemingly providing some resistance to high temperatures.
There's also cutting; this magical property has always been Luo Xi's main means of attack.
Having lost the advantage of having the home ground in the world of consciousness, and with roughly the same amount of magic power, it seems there is only one way to deal with a D-rank witch: see who has a stronger fighting will and fight until one of them gives up first!
Although different magical properties have different effects on a witch's body—such as the terrifying high temperature or the distortion and deformation of the earthen shield in front of her—her magical property, matter interference, with its cutting ability, is the most lethal to a witch.
This is absolute interference with the material world!
Therefore, cutting should be the primary focus, with other methods as secondary!
The above thoughts happened in an instant. Luo Xi had already made a plan. Abandoning defense, Luo Xi directly covered her entire body with magic power containing cutting properties, and then slammed into Wei Ying!
At the same time, the soil and gravel controlled by telekinesis were also thrown towards Wei Ying!
Sweeping through her body by flames, Luo Xi used her magic to repair herself while simultaneously slamming her cutting magic at Wei Ying, covering her body with dirt and rubble.
Luo Xi's magic, clinging to the soil and gravel, tightly enveloped Wei Ying under the intervention of telekinesis. The magic with cutting properties continued to output, and Wei Ying's body had already developed numerous wounds.
That's right. The main purpose of the soil and gravel is to interfere with Wei Ying's use of magic. Under such an attack, even if Luo Xi is in a high-temperature environment, Wei Ying will definitely be the first to give up!
"Captain Wei Ying, please give up resisting," Luo Xi said, continuing her attack while using magic to heal her body. "We're at the same level, but I can last longer. Your defeat is inevitable!"
"Besides, this is just an avatar of yours," Luo Xi said slowly through mind communication with Wei Ying. "I will personally come to apologize to you later."
Wei Ying didn't say anything, but her body turned red, then became transparent, and then exploded!
The soil and gravel, controlled by telekinesis, actually turned into liquid under the high temperature. At the same time, an even more terrifying high temperature formed waves that rushed towards Luo Xi.
Was this Wei Ying's last stand? Luo Xi already had a plan. She manipulated her magic to dig a pit tens of meters deep in the ground and jumped in!
As the heatwave subsided, Luo Xi used her telekinesis to slowly move herself out of the deep pit. Looking around, she saw that the area within a few hundred meters was barren, thanks to Wei Ying's near-self-destructive attack, while Wei Ying remained unharmed, standing in the same spot.
"How much magic power do you have left?" Luo Xi knew Wei Ying was still alive, as they could communicate via telepathy. "How much longer can you hold on, Captain Wei Ying? Stop struggling in vain. Give me your magic power; I'm going to deal with the anomalous entity!"
"Everyone has been so kind to you, but," Wei Ying said angrily, "Luo Xi, you've gone too far!"
Luo Xi did not reply, but instead unleashed her magic once more!
Just then, a protective shield made of plants and vines appeared in front of Wei Ying.
Immediately, Luo Xi's expression changed, and she retreated rapidly.
However, Luo Xi's reaction was still a step too slow. Within the several hundred meters that Wei Ying had cleared, green plants and vines appeared out of thin air and stretched out rapidly, surrounding her.
Luo Xi hurriedly manipulated her magic to ascend into the air, but the vines still grabbed her ankles. Although she reacted instantly and attacked the vines with her magic, the magic's normally unstoppable nature was unable to sever the vines. In just a moment, she was pulled to the ground by the vines, and the vines within hundreds of meters quickly contracted and merged, instantly binding Luo Xi.
The magic power within her body surged out wildly, and Luo Xi was still trying to destroy the vines on her body, but to no avail, and the vines were getting tighter and tighter!
As she stopped resisting, the vines binding her loosened their grip somewhat, but they still held her tightly, preventing her from moving.
Wei Ying was clearly confused, while in the center of the battlefield, a figure slowly walked out. She had short chestnut hair that reached her shoulders, and her beautiful face was expressionless. It was none other than Rose!
Eternal Witch, Rose of Darkness!
