Chapter 20 – The Witch from the Fairytale
Chapter 20 The Witch from the Fairytale
Before the clearing program started, Wright had Lilith quietly stay on this side of the sentry tower in case something special happened.
With regards to souls, although Wright also had notable insights, it was still Lilith, who was a chimera, who was more comfortable manipulating them.
Wright brought Emily back to his tent, and Lilith then manifested herself.
“What’s the matter, in such a hurry?”
Wright flashed the soul fragment out, “Emily, you’ll absorb this soul crystal in a moment.
The enemy is most likely another magical girl, and it’s not a strong one.
I suspect that she may have already completed that so-called [Witch’s Feast] and gained a forbidden power.
It’s not hard to explain why she was able to advance to the True Ancestor rank and also subjugate almost all of the Dark Ethnic forces.
We must have as much information about her as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to deal with her.”
Lilith surrounded the soul crystal and kept swallowing her saliva, “This fragment is indeed as sweet and delicious as Emily’s soul.
I think we might as well do this, let me swallow her!”
Wright grabbed Lilith, “You can’t, you have to let her swallow. If something goes wrong with Emily, you can still save her.
But if something goes wrong with you, we’ll have trouble trying to save you.
The strongest pilots are the ones who are qualified to be substitutes in the parade, understand?”
“Oooh …… okay.”
Emily couldn’t help but take two steps back as she looked at the soul fragment suspended in the Wright.
“I …… I’m scared.”
Seeing this, Wright took a deep breath and pressed one hand on her shoulder.
“Emily, let me get this straight right now. This whole witch thing is no joke.
A lot of people could die as a result of this, including myself, in order to settle this.
You’re scared, I understand that. If you choose not to go through with this, I won’t force you.
But one thing, I, Wright, will never give my back to someone who chooses to back down.
With anything, there is a price to pay.
You don’t have that realization, you’re not mentally prepared, you don’t want to pay, fine.
But the partnership between us ends here.
After returning to the Holy City, I will find a way to completely strip the witch’s power from your body, so that you can turn back into an ordinary noble lady, and then send someone to send you back to your father.
This is not a spring hike, but a matter of life and death. A hesitant half-wit will not only get himself killed, but will also involve others.
Perhaps from your own point of view, you’re innocent. You’ve obviously done nothing wrong, yet you’ve been reduced to such a state.
I’m not a life coach, nor am I interested in enlightening you.
All in all, the situation is what it is.”
Saying that, Wright sent the soul crystal to Emily, “So, choose.
It’s to face the incoming gales and waves head on and be a helmsman who controls his life’s lone boat!
Or stay out of it and be a noble lady. From now on, the years will be quiet, and the life will be uneventful.”
Emily bowed her head and did not say anything, facing the fork in the road of life, her heart is incredibly entangled.
Time passed minute by minute, just as Wright sighed slightly, ready to take his hand back, Emily suddenly looked up, her eyes incomparably determined.
“I, for one, don’t want to be any kind of helmsman.”
She snatched the soul crystal core away with one hand and stuffed it into her mouth, fighting to chew it while firmly declaring her choice.
“I want to be a captain!”
“Report Captain!”
Wright gave her a salute, “This stuff isn’t oral, it’s topical!”
Emily, whose teeth hurt from the choking, snarled with tears in her eyes, “You didn’t say so!”
It was obvious that Wright was merely teasing her. The soul crystals quickly merged into Emily’s body, and she fainted straight away with her eyes rolled back in her head. Seeing this, Lilith hurriedly turned into purple smoke and wrapped her up.
“It’s fine, the soul is very stable. It should have received too much information at once, and is a bit overloaded. Let her digest it herself and she’ll be fine.”
“That’s good ……”
Lilith placed Emily on the improvised marching bed and looked at Wright with some unhappiness.
“You sure do just like the big ones!”
“What are you mad about again?”
“Then why did you leave her behind?”
“It was her choice to stay. But I’m relieved.”
Wright hugged his shoulders and looked at Emily on the bed, “A brave girl. Besides, to solve the witch incident, if I didn’t have a witch or two on my side, wouldn’t I be passive the whole time?”
“It seems that you are very attached to this incident. Witch, is it really that difficult?”
Wright mused, “Do you know the saying that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
From the information we have so far, the Witch technology is enough to be called a forbidden means that can turn the world upside down. If left unchecked, it will surely lead to an unknown huge disaster.
This world is, in fact, very fragile. I don’t want to be left without even a place to stay for no reason.”
Lilith wrapped her arms around Leite’s neck and picked up his chin, her tone of voice action full of temptation.
“How could you? Do you know how many realms in the Magic Realm are waiting for you to King’s Landing? As long as you go, you’re bound to be a hit! Becoming a Demon King is just around the corner.
If you really can’t, I’ll take you to the Phantom Demon’s Country, guaranteeing that you’ll be happy and joyful every day, forgetting all your troubles.”
Wright’s face was calm, and his eyes glanced downwards, revealing a contemptuous smile.
“Heh!”
“What are you laughing at! You just stared at me there and laughed rudely, didn’t you!”
“How am I supposed to stare and laugh at something that isn’t there?”
“You just like it big! I’ll fight you!”
While the bickering was going on, Emily’s body was emitting powerful magic power fluctuations. Wright rushed forward with a somewhat strange expression.
“She actually promoted! Jumped directly from the third rank to the ninth stage of the fifth rank! It’s only one step away from the Holy Order!”
In just this moment’s effort, Emily had actually surpassed Knight Commander Celtus.
However, the barrier of the Holy Order was not something that could be broken through just because the magic was strong, let alone unconsciously.
Along with the calming of the magic fluctuations, Emily slowly opened her eyes.
“You’re awake?”
Wright looked at her with a smile, “Congratulations, it’s a boy.”
“What?”
Emily rolled over and stood up in a hurry, feeling dizzy again, and sat her ass back down on the bed.
“Just kidding, take it easy.”
“I saw it, I saw the woman!”
Wright instantly put away his smile, “Fine!”
“She had skin as white as snow, lips as bright red as blood, hair as black as ebony. She ……”
“Wait! Why does this part of your story sound a bit familiar?”
With a flash of inspiration, Wright took out the book of Fairy Tales he had with him and flipped to the chapter on Snow White.
“You’re not lying to me with fairy tales, are you? Snow White is actually a vampire right? Hiss …… seems to make sense.”
Emily waved her hands back and forth “That’s really what she looks like! She’s the Witch of Blood!
I got some of her memories, there are seven magical girls like us. And she is the only original witch left in the world and holds a lot of information about magical girls!
Her aim is to collect all the power of the Witch and then open the [Night of the Witch] to gain enough power to control the entire world.”
Wright delivered a Holy Healing Technique to help Emily stabilize her mind.
“Don’t panic, speak slowly ……”
