Chapter 433: The Dragon Who Publicly Played A Video

For example, had the Undying Witch’s operation succeeded or not? What? Failed? Then what was the outcome? Since it could be treated as intelligence, the result wouldn’t be normal… The True Spirit of the Undying Witch’s beloved was taken by the Abyssal Creatures. What would happen afterward was surely of interest to many, not just the Witches, but also the Sanctuary Church!

Therefore, this intelligence was already a great gain in terms of operational value. Irene and Annie didn’t engage in intelligence operations. As for Loris and Dan Marina… Dan Marina would use it, but even with her sharing the gains, it was still a good harvest. Loris, on the other hand, basically wouldn’t speak recklessly.

Zheng Yichen… Well, he could be skipped.

“Alright, I should head back first too.” Annie waved her hand and was the second to leave. Afterward, Irene glanced at the transparent sphere in her hand, containing the soul of the Undying Witch, which would remain permanently suppressed as long as no one retrieved it. She was the third to leave.

Before leaving, she left a message: “Tomorrow, I’ll return this intact.”

The last one remaining, Loris, looked toward the Border Great Wall and shook her head slightly. Carrying the Alchemical Avatar of Zheng Yichen she retrieved from the Mist, she also left. The four Witches came and went without a trace. Except for the Undying Witch and a few who were in the know, no one else was aware.

Inside the yet-to-dissipate Mist Lockdown Zone, with the full efforts of a series of high-level combatants, the Corrupted Creatures were mostly cleared. Though they were numerous, the border garrisons, the Sanctuary Church, and the armies sent in advance by the great empires were also considerable in number.

After resolving the matter, those high-level combatants didn’t disperse. Instead, they kept a strict watch over the Mist Lockdown Zone. From the information passed by Saintess Deya, not only was the Fate Witch inside, but there was also another black-haired girl of unknown origin. Especially that black-haired girl—Deya witnessed with her own eyes how she dealt with the Undying Witch, even employing a secret power only the Sanctuary Church should possess at the very end!

That alone was enough for the Sanctuary Church to pay close attention. They had to figure out the origins of that black-haired girl and where Dan Marina found such an existence… Although she always managed to find things others couldn’t, this time the matter involved was simply too significant!

“Are you sure you want to stop me? I did help you take care of the most troublesome Undying Witch, you know.” The ‘black-haired girl’ walked smilingly toward the wary Deya. Given the existence that could suppress and deal with the Undying Witch, she couldn’t afford to be careless.

“Regarding that, I’ll express my gratitude, but the power you used…”

“Nothing about power is absolute. Just because your Sanctuary Church has it doesn’t mean nowhere else does. So, how about not stopping me, okay?”

“I’m afraid that won’t do.” Deya shook her head with a firm expression.

“Your ‘won’t do’ doesn’t work for me either.” Dan Marina’s voice came from behind Deya. Frowning slightly, Deya glanced back. Dan Marina walked over from behind her, grinning. “Aren’t you curious about what the Undying Witch actually did here? If you want to know, don’t make things difficult for the helper I found.”

That hit Deya’s weak spot spot-on. The matter of the Undying Witch seemed resolved, but in the past, there had been many similar situations where it appeared resolved, yet not long after, the Undying Witch would jump out again to prove them wrong. Would it be like before this time?

She wasn’t sure. On the contrary, what the Undying Witch did here was extremely important, involving the stability of the Containment Barrier. The scene had been cleaned almost spotlessly by the magic released by the black-haired girl, leaving Deya unable to gather more information. The only reliable source of information she could obtain was from Dan Marina.

“Hmm~ Seems the people outside are losing patience. How about we have a fight between us?” Dan Marina said, her smile undiminished. The black-haired girl facing Deya lightly raised her hand, a complex Magic Rune Array appearing in her palm. Just a glance at this Magic Rune Array made Deya feel slightly dizzy… Such powerful magic.

“Oh, don’t worry. Her actual combat strength isn’t that high; she mainly specializes in Sealing Magic.” As soon as Dan Marina finished speaking, the black-haired girl facing Deya rolled her eyes slightly. Actual combat strength not that high? On the surface, that seemed good for Deya, but inwardly she grew even more cautious.

A Spellcaster who could handle the Undying Witch… and one specialized in Sealing Magic at that—suffering a loss here would be more severe than in a normal fight. Getting hit by certain unique sealing spells could bring a series of hard-to-break negative effects. The simplest and most brutal method was restricting power exertion.

Powerful Spellcasters skilled in Sealing Magic could completely turn a genius into a near-permanent mediocrity. No matter how great the talent, if one could hardly ever use their own power due to Sealing Magic, what good was it?

What a difficult choice. Should she choose to fight and delay?

“Sigh~ Looks like the people rushing over gave you confidence. Well, take a look at this then.” Dan Marina sighed lightly and took out something like a black Magic Cube. “So what if there are many people? Who dares to stop me?”

“…”

“Ah~ Phew~” Zheng Yichen rarely left the Underground Base. Standing atop a hill, he gazed toward the Border Great Wall, exhaling and inhaling. The Undying Witch issue was resolved. Thinking back, it still felt surreal. He had expected an absolute fierce battle, but through careful preparation, one step after another, they resolved the trouble without wasting energy, just by putting in straightforward effort. It was somewhat hard to believe, but the facts were there.

Moving his neck, Zheng Yichen took out the Magic Weapon Summoning Book and glanced at it. This operation gave him quite a bit of confidence. Although the power gap between him and the Witches remained large, he was no longer completely defenseless. The quality and quantity of his Mana needed improvement. The Pseudo Divine Power stored in the Magic Weapon Summoning Book, converted from Mana, couldn’t be increased, but it was sufficient to contend with Witches.

The reason he didn’t use that power as his main force was due to advice from Irene. Even though Pseudo Divine Power became his own due to his ability, it wasn’t his core power. Mana was Zheng Yichen’s core power. The so-called core power was something that could be slowly generated by the body even in a magic-less environment. This world didn’t have the concept of magic circuits, but the idea was similar.

Core power wasn’t just about absorbing and converting external Elemental Power; it could also be converted by consuming the body’s or soul’s energy. It was a qualification accumulated after cultivating magic.

Therefore, since Zheng Yichen couldn’t autonomously generate Pseudo Divine Power and could only rely on nurturing the seed, using that power as his main force wasn’t suitable. Doing so would mean losing the chance for real progress. Although at the level of Pseudo Divine Power, even without the possibility of advancement, it was a height other beings could hardly reach in a lifetime.

But lacking the possibility of progress ultimately made life much duller. Now he was a Longevity Species and didn’t need to be like Humans, whose limited lifespan made their desire for strength stronger than other beings’. Besides, Zheng Yichen didn’t think his growth would stop at the level of Pseudo Divine Power…

Using cheats felt great temporarily, but after a while, it became mostly boring. So, after initially converting a large amount of Pseudo Divine Power, Zheng Yichen stopped such actions. Having enough power was sufficient; he’d slowly improve his Mana. Grinding it out over time could slowly raise it!

Not to mention, Zheng Yichen wasn’t ashamed to ask those above… In terms of understanding Mana, who could be more excellent than Irene?

“Does thinking this way make me a bit of a slacker?” Zheng Yichen muttered, holding his chin. For a dragon, making such a move seemed awkward, but his innate human habits allowed him to do it naturally without seeming out of place. Change his behavior because of his body’s influence?

He said he couldn’t do it! And didn’t want to!

Waving his hand, several Mana Threads spread from his fingers. These Mana Threads were like sharp knives, easily slicing through a large rock behind him and carving it into a big stone Throne. He plopped down on it grandly. Nothing more needed to be said. As the one who dealt the final blow to the Undying Witch, he now felt his sense of achievement explode, thinking he was incredibly awesome…

If putting hands on hips wasn’t even more awkward than holding his chin, he really couldn’t resist doing it. Flipping through the Magic Weapon Summoning Book, he kept an eye on the situation in the Magic Weapon Forum. Dan Marina was the last to cover their retreat and leave. Saying he wasn’t worried would be false, especially after this incident… Ouch!

Unable to resist, he knocked his own head. Zheng Yichen browsed through the newly appeared posts, many about the Mist Lockdown Zone. Some even posted screenshots of the scene after the Mist completely dissipated, with many replies below expressing amazement, saying things like they probably only saw such a clear sky without Black Mist covering it inside a Containment Barrier once in their lifetime.

As for the scene itself, some paid attention, but the Church and Border Great Wall had sealed off the main areas. Outsiders couldn’t enter at all, and no information had leaked yet. But some things still became hot topics, like the beautiful black-haired girl who appeared after the Magic Array erupted… and also, the incredibly awesome Magic Pharmacist recently turned out to be That Dragon who publicly played a video in the sky!!
