Volume 4, Chapter 55 – Black Witch – Yelena

“What, what?”

The moment she heard this voice, Alice trembled all over, looking up in disbelief toward the front.

Toward the slender girl who had appeared before her at some unknown time, wearing a black short skirt and black stockings.

“You… who are you?”

Alice asked with confusion and wariness.

Calling me auntie?

And… calling herself Little Yi?

The next moment, under Alice’s confused gaze, the black-haired girl slightly turned her head, meeting Alice’s gaze with those crimson pupils.

And the moment she saw that face, Alice’s pupils suddenly contracted, her astonishment evident.

Although the eye color was different, that face was undoubtedly extraordinarily similar to a certain face deep in her memory.

For a moment, Alice recalled the cute little girl with rabbit ears who used to follow behind her comrade.

“Santaya, who is this child?”

“My daughter~, she’s three years old this year~”

“When did you have a daughter?? Wait, can you humans and witches really have children together?”

“Witches are actually human too, okay? Alice, you’re making too big a deal of this.”

“Uh…”

“Anyway, Little Yi, call her Aunt Alice! In the future, if you see anyone you don’t like and want to cut them down, go find her!”

“You… are you Yelena? You, you’re still alive?”

Alice said in disbelief.

You should know that when Santaya’s family was massacred back then, Alice and Xi Xuan had done everything possible to search for Yelena.

But they never found any clues.

So much so that Alice had to accept early on the cruel reality that this child had perished in the flames.

But now?

The child she thought had died actually appeared again?

Faced with Alice’s question and her anxious gaze, the black-haired girl didn’t answer directly, but pleasantly curved up the corners of her mouth and turned her attention to the swarm of corpse puppets rushing toward them.

“Order Magic – Brahma Seventy-Two Shields”

“Rumble!!!”

After the eight Divine Departure Realm corpse puppets all released their killing moves, world-destroying apocalyptic light erupted on the grassland.

Space twisted and the earth trembled endlessly.

Scorching heat waves spread explosively in all directions.

Whether it was the Divine Kingdom, Maretide Kingdom, or the Westivian Covenant border garrison forces, all noticed this explosion, and unease began to grow…

“Hehe, serves them right.”

Seeing such a terrifying explosion, Genovis laughed even more pleasantly.

Whether Alice lived or died didn’t matter to him—the soul fragments of the First Savior wouldn’t shatter because of this anyway.

What he wanted to see was simply this test subject who dared to resist being blown to smithereens.

However, just as Genovis was preparing to admire Alice’s remains, this Ancestor’s pupils instantly contracted, a trace of bewilderment emerging.

?!!

“What?”

At this moment, as the explosive energy dispersed, what entered Genovis’s eyes wasn’t the wreckage he had expected, but a defensive magic array constructed from seventy-two crimson energy shields.

The array stood intact in the center of the explosion zone.

And that battered Celestial Augur Knight still survived under the protection of the array.

Not only that, a stranger—a girl with short black hair—had appeared beside Alice at some unknown time.

Obviously, it was this girl who had constructed the array and blocked the corpse puppets’ attack.

“Who are you?!”

Restraining his smile, Genovis asked coldly.

A grave expression couldn’t help but surface in his eyes.

To be able to block the attack of eight corpse puppets, this woman was definitely no ordinary person.

Moreover, this woman seemed somewhat familiar…

On the other side, faced with this question, the black-haired, red-eyed girl smiled lightly and tilted her head, slowly opening her mouth.

However, the girl clearly wasn’t opening her mouth to answer Genovis’s question.

What emerged from her mouth was a series of complex and difficult strange syllables.

?!

This was?!

An incantation?!

Sensing the constantly rampaging aura fluctuations around the girl, Genovis’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly retreated backward.

“Not good…”

Dozens of corpse puppets, guided by Genovis’s will, successively pounced toward the black-haired girl.

Additionally, large numbers of puppets rushed to Genovis’s front, rapidly releasing spiritual power to construct defenses.

And almost at the same time, the black-haired girl had completed her chant and revealed a wicked smile.

“Abyss Hex Magic – Blood Source Quake.”

The next moment, violent curse power was liberated from within the black-haired girl like a tsunami, transforming into overwhelming blood-colored waves that thundered forward with unstoppable momentum!

In just one exchange, the Divine Martial Realm puppets that had pounced toward the black-haired girl were all shattered to dust, and those Divine Departure Realm puppets were also blasted to pieces.

The blood-colored waves continued whistling toward Genovis in the sky above, directly colliding with the defensive spiritual power barrier constructed by the other puppets.

“Rumble!!”

Accompanied by earth-shaking explosions, the defensive positions set up by the group of puppets were directly torn to shreds by the blood-colored waves, and the puppets themselves were ground to slag along with them.

Fortunately, the puppet belonging to First Celestial Augur Knight Santaya beside Genovis rushed out in time, using its impregnable guardian domain to block the impact of the blood-colored waves. Otherwise, Genovis would probably have been caught up in it as well.

“Huff huff huff…”

As the blood-colored energy completely dispersed, looking at the scene below, Genovis couldn’t help but pant nervously several times.

His gaze toward the black-haired girl also became increasingly grave.

Such terrifying power… to be able to shatter so many of his puppets with a single strike?

Was this real or fake?!

Rеаⅾ оn КαtRеαⅾіոgСafe

Moreover… that was curse power just now?!

Magic used with curse power as a medium… there was only one existence in this world capable of using such magic.

This person…

“You… are the Black Witch?!”

Genovis said in bewilderment.

In everyone’s understanding, the Black Witch of the Terrabond Lineage was a very mysterious vassal who had always hidden under a hood and black mist…

He had thought that beneath the hood was hidden an ugly face like a hag’s, but unexpectedly it was such an exquisite and beautiful face.

What surprised Genovis even more was that the Black Witch, who had been missing for two years, would actually appear near the Divine Kingdom border?

And even save a First Celestial Augur Knight who was her enemy?

What was this all about?

And most importantly…

“Black Witch… have we… met somewhere before?”

Genovis puzzledly raised his hand to grip his chin.

This Ancestor was certain he had never contacted the Black Witch before, but why did her face always feel like he had seen it somewhere?

But he could never remember…

On the other side, after taking in Genovis’s confused reaction, Yelena instead curved up the corners of her mouth slightly, giving Genovis a charming smile.

“Whether we’ve met before isn’t important anymore. I only know that we won’t be meeting again in the future.”

“Hmm?”

Hearing this, Genovis was slightly stunned and asked in confusion:

“What does that mean?”

“It means… you’re going to be killed by me here.”

Before her words finished, Yelena smiled lightly and snapped her fingers.

The surrounding space instantly twisted, and a massive crimson barrier like a pyramid suddenly appeared, completely enveloping everyone within it.

“This is? A closed barrier condensed from curse power?”

Looking around at the heaven and earth shrouded in red light, the well-informed Genovis couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

A grave expression quietly overflowed.

Such a large-scale, high-density barrier…

The amount of curse power within the Black Witch was probably higher than all the documented vassals…

However…

“You want to kill me inside the barrier? Hehehe, hahahaha!!”

Clutching his stomach, Genovis couldn’t help but laugh wildly.

In a thousand years, this was the first time someone had dared to speak to him like this.

“Kill me?! Are you out of your mind hahahaha!”

Not to mention that his abilities were special and he had countless bodies as backups, making him essentially unkillable.

Just looking at the current situation, he was the one with the advantage, wasn’t he?

“You don’t think that killing a few dozen Divine Departure Realm trash makes you impressive, do you? You really think you’re amazing? If it were an evil god, I might be wary. But you vassals are nothing but garbage in front of me!”

Saying this, Genovis contemptuously raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, the corpse puppets that had been shattered by Yelena’s blood light completed their regeneration at visible speed and once again surrounded the black-haired girl.

In an instant, the auras erupted by multiple corpse puppets directly suppressed Yelena’s curse power field.

“What a rare opportunity. The Black Witch? The one who’s been causing us trouble constantly. If we eliminate you here, that would be good news for us.”

As Genovis’s words ended, hundreds of corpse puppets once again charged toward the black-haired girl.

Seeing this scene, Alice couldn’t help but look anxiously toward the black-haired girl.

“Little Yi! Be careful!!”

Although her friend’s daughter becoming the Black Witch left Alice deeply shocked and confused, she still instinctively cried out.

To this, Yelena slightly turned her head, unhurriedly extending her slender index finger to her lips, saying in a sweet voice:

“Aunt Alice, please close your eyes for a moment~. The scene that follows might be somewhat cruel~”
