Chapter 185: Must Not Stay!

Chapter 185: Must Not Stay!

“Forget it, I should just get as far away as possible. Thinking about it is kind of depressing. Why, since coming to this world, have I only ever run into top-tier fighters?” Pursing his lips, Zheng Yichen looked down at his claws, feeling an urge to roar at the sky, “What’s the use of this Dragon Body anyway?”

“Hmm! Seems pretty useful, actually.” He shook his head, suppressing that somewhat ungrateful impulse. If he had crossed over as a human, he’d probably still be somewhere in a remote corner experiencing an ordinary Otherworld life right now. He would never have encountered so many special situations. For an ordinary person, the Otherworld was truly dangerous. Back then, maybe some Cult would have spread to the city or town where he lived…

Being recruited as a Cultist would at least mean staying alive. If he got used as a sacrificial offering, that would really be the pits.

Having made up his mind, Zheng Yichen stopped paying attention to the terrifying auras occasionally erupting from the Town in the distance and left the area far behind. At least, he thought he wouldn’t have any peace after this. He truly experienced a case of “disaster falling from the sky,” a situation that could be called extremely unlucky.

He discovered the battle from the Town was gradually shifting toward his direction. Zheng Yichen watched, dumbfounded. Wait! This was too unlucky!!

Without another word, Zheng Yichen turned around and accelerated, hoping they could keep their life-and-death struggle to themselves, please! But this time, Zheng Yichen truly experienced a battle between supreme powerhouses with no restraints. Just the shockwaves from their clashes were enough to wipe out all life nearby.

Perhaps because the area they moved to was wilderness, they fought even more recklessly. The turbulent shockwaves made flying through the air extremely uncomfortable for Zheng Yichen. The raging air currents and the strange power mixed within made him feel like a small bird immersed in thick oil; every beat of his wings met immense resistance.

Under these conditions, forget about flying straight…

Forced to find a place to land, Zheng Yichen directly pulled a Camouflage Cloth from his pocket and draped it over himself, secretly observing the distant battle. The air was scattered with sacred golden specks of light, not to mention the ubiquitous gray Death Ripples that were utterly chilling.

A faint gray ripple that had traveled a great distance swept past Zheng Yichen. He himself only felt a shiver and nothing else, but several nearby plants rapidly withered. It looked somewhat similar to the effect Loris had, but it was actually different. Loris’s power caused decay and weathering, while what Zheng Yichen saw now was withering and death.

“…” With an expression full of unspoken frustration, the corner of Zheng Yichen’s mouth twitched slightly as he watched the two incredibly fierce women fighting closer and closer. Why must white hair trouble white hair? Well, their hair colors looked similar. The former had a milky white that didn’t seem harshly pale but brimmed with youthful vitality. The latter’s white, while not resembling an old person’s white hair, gave off a very strange feeling.

Especially after seeing their fighting style, Zheng Yichen really wanted to ask, are you Mages or Warriors?

Long-range bombardment was one thing, but in the middle of blasting, they actually charged at each other with weapons? Judging by the power erupting from their close combat, Zheng Yichen felt the books couldn’t be fully trusted either. Damn that nonsense about Mages having weaker close combat abilities… Could this be called weak?

A normal Warrior coming here would probably get slapped to death by these two fierce women! As for himself, Zheng Yichen looked at his claws again. With his recent great increase in power, he had thought he might be counted among… the strong?

Now, with a clear comparison, he should honestly keep himself positioned among the ordinarily strong. As for Witch level? Maybe talk about that in eight or ten years? Right now? Since arriving in this Otherworld, counting carefully, it hadn’t even been two full years. Being able to exchange a few moves with an Adult Dragon in this time was already extremely fast development.

He didn’t have any cheat that modified his combat power. Even with the Innate Ability that came with his crossing, that ability was just a special power. It couldn’t ignore the gap between individual strengths, nor did it provide any extra boost to cultivation. What he truly had was… a Soul and knowledge from Earth.

Watching the current battle, even though Zheng Yichen’s heart still stirred with a pent-up feeling of absurd frustration—even though he never missed any spare time, fully utilizing it to learn and understand this world’s knowledge, and clearly wasn’t like his past self on Earth, facing the Computer playing games all day—why was his growth in strength still so slow?

Why didn’t he hold onto his Computer when he crossed over? Then maybe that Computer would have undergone some miraculous mutation and turned into a cheat Divine Artifact or something… Unfortunately, no!

“Truly impressive. The Sanctuary Church having someone like you is troublesome.” The Undying Witch looked at the significantly faded gray smoke around her. She had awoken from her slumber, not at her peak, unable to fully exert her strength. Even so, she could still crush many people. Based on her abilities, she could even wipe out a city with a wave of her hand… provided no powerful guardians blocked her.

Blocking her would just be some trouble.

But the girl before her had fought this long without showing any signs of exhaustion. Her power also sufficiently countered her own… or specifically, it countered Witch Power. The Sanctuary Church had such individuals before, people with power that countered Witches. A new Saintess?

She let out a soft hum. A Witch’s power was very strong. Besides the initial burst, the accumulation over time also contributed significantly. The girl with milky white long hair before her couldn’t be over twenty-five. Her power interfered with her precise detection of the girl’s age, only giving a rough estimate: under twenty-five. To possess power rivaling a Witch at less than twenty-five years old.

So, existences like Saintesses were even less Magic than Witches. The Dark Church was useless too. The Sanctuary Church had its dedicated Saintess, while they had no so-called Dark Saintess… One really wondered if the Dark Church’s growth to this point was because the Sanctuary Church went easy on them.

Or perhaps there was some undisclosed transaction between the two. In the last operation to surround and suppress her, the Dark Church was involved. Wasn’t it just because she dismantled some of their important branches for some items?

If they had just obediently handed over the items, they could have “nicely” survived. Instead, they insisted on stubbornly resisting, defying the odds. Where did that mysterious confidence come from? The girl before her wasn’t present in the last operation to suppress her, which was her own luck. If she had been there, even relying on her foundation to survive, her slumber wouldn’t have been so brief… This girl must not stay!
