Millennium Witch.

Chapter 66 - 66 - Legendary Mage
Dugrabi felt that he had never been so unlucky in his dragon life.

Since it ran away from the Dragon Kingdom to explore the Endless Sea, it crossed the Abyss out of curiosity and couldn't find its way back. Now, it has been living alone in this snowy mountain range in the Land of the End for a full 10 years.

For the past ten years, fearing the presence of even more terrifying evil spirits outside, or perhaps encountering the legendary evil god "Witch of the End" sealed here, the young dragon dared not step out of this initial mountain range. All it did was sleep, daydream, entertain itself, and hunt wild animals to roast and eat. Its life was incredibly miserable, and it was almost on the verge of death.

The only belief that sustained it through such a life was the long lifespan of dragons, which allowed it to barely survive.

As long as it can survive until the next aurora reappears and the Abyss opens, allowing it to escape this hellish place, it will do anything it wants, even suppress its rebellious nature and live a life of obedience in the Dragon Kingdom. It will have no objections.

But what it didn't expect was that after such a long and arduous ten years, the aurora didn't appear, but instead it encountered what it seemed to be the last thing it wanted to see.

Unlike the puppet girl who had been running away while muttering in some unknown dialect, Dugrabi was certain that this female mage who had suddenly appeared and displayed formidable power was a completely human woman, not an alchemical creation that resembled a human.

In the Land of the End, who else could be a human woman with such power and such appearance besides the legendary King of Evil Gods?
It immediately regretted it, wishing it hadn't chased after that alchemical creation that looked like a young girl. Although it had been shot in the buttocks by her alchemical gun while it was sleeping, causing it both pain and anger, to be honest, killing it would only be a way to vent its anger, and it couldn't eat it anyway.

In the past, it was always extremely wary of such mysterious, unidentified humanoid alchemical creations and kept its distance. This time, however, it lost its temper for the first time and tried to kill the creature, only to be arrested. It was unclear whether it was just bad luck or a trap set by an evil god.

However, considering its own intelligence, caution, and noble lineage, it believes it is most likely the latter.

……

Soon, seeing the silver-haired girl land on the ground and slowly walk up to him, Dugrabi, whose body was stiff, struggled to raise his head, his eyes fierce, ready to breathe on her.

No matter what, it is a member of the dragon race with pure blood. Even if it faces an evil god, it must not disgrace the dragon race.

And perhaps because it had been frozen by the cold air, it had calmed down a bit and was now wondering if the other party was an evil god.

Perhaps it's another human mage who, like it, stumbled upon this place by mistake?

Although it is already very powerful, if it is truly an evil god, its methods should be even more wicked and brutal. It might be instantly killed with just a thought.

"From the Radiant Continent?" it heard the silver-haired girl ask.

"More or less." Dugrabi said defiantly, his neck stiff. "Human, who are you? State your name now! I am Dugrabi, son of the Flame Dragon King of the Dragon Kingdom. Dare to oppose me? Are you prepared to face the wrath of the dragons?"

"ask you a question."

"Hmph! You coward, you don't even dare to give your name, yet you expect me to answer..." Dugrabi said in an authoritative tone, but was quickly struck by a bolt of lightning, gasping in pain, "Hiss—!!"

"Want to get another electric shock?" Yvette said expressionlessly.

“No…no…” Dugrabi immediately became obedient. It thought that although this witch might not necessarily be an evil god, at this moment, she seemed to be just as terrifying as an evil god. “Do you know Rosalind Theon?” Yvette asked.

“Rosalind Theon? That’s the name on the continent…wait, are you talking about that legendary mage?” Dugrabi thought for a moment, his tone surprised.

“A legendary mage?” Yvette paused for a moment, then nodded. “It should be. Tell me more about it.”

"Explain in detail? Aren't you human? Why do I have to introduce you? How many years has it been since you've left the world? Your information is so limited..."

Dugrabi muttered to itself, but seeing Yvette's impatient look, it immediately said, "I... I don't know much about legendary mages either, after all, I'm just a dragon! I've hardly ever left the South Sea! I've only heard my father say that she is the strongest person in the human world, and the only person in history to achieve the unification of the Eastern and Western continents. She is revered as the 'Lord of Humans and Demons,' and even the demon gods and true gods tacitly approve of her actions... uh, that's about it."

It paused, then added, "I hate reading most of all. If you ask me about her, all I know are some common rumors... Don't expect much from me!"

Yvette's dark red pupils held a new emotion, making her appear much gentler. After processing this information, she asked again, "Is she... alright now? I mean, is she still alive?"

"I don't know about that. I've been in the Land of the End for ten years, but before that, the legendary mage hadn't shown himself in public for about forty or fifty years, and had been in seclusion at the 'Academy of Truth'. But he should still be alive, otherwise, such a great figure wouldn't have suddenly disappeared without a trace..."

Dugrabi cautiously examined the silver-haired girl before him, and couldn't help but speculate about her relationship with the legendary mage.

Acquaintance? Partner? Relative? Enemy? Or some other kind of relationship?
She cared about the legendary mage, but she didn't know anything about his life. This was undoubtedly a very contradictory situation, unless she had been imprisoned in the Land of the End nearly 150 or even 200 years ago, which is why she couldn't know about the situation in the human world.

But do such people really exist? Are they just incredibly unlucky, never encountering the aurora and the abyss and unable to escape, or do they choose to stay in this godforsaken place to cultivate asceticism?
Thinking of this, a rumor that he had heard by chance in the past suddenly came to mind for Dugrabi.

This is a legend about the legendary mage Rosalind Theon, which is said to have been spread by the mage herself.

Legend has it that the legendary sorceress, in her youth, mistakenly entered the Land of the End, a place in mythology where an evil god was sealed, a place feared by all. Fortunately, she didn't encounter the evil god, but instead met a benevolent deity living there, not featured in mainstream mythology, known as the "Silver Witch." After being rescued, the young sorceress followed this great being on a period of spiritual training, and many years later, under her protection, returned to the human world, thus beginning her legendary life.

Of course, this is just a legend that has emerged in recent decades, circulating among bards as a dramatic supplement to the legendary experiences of this "Supreme Commander of the Pan-Human Alliance" and "Second Generation Demon King." Its authenticity is debatable—after all, the life of the legendary mage is so legendary that it has almost entered the realm of epic mythology, and it would be a shame not to include some extraordinary adventures.

Dugrabi heard this story from impure dragon descendants while wandering around the Dragon Kingdom. He initially just took it as a lighthearted anecdote, but now...

It glanced at the mysterious girl's striking long silver hair and thought to itself that this was a bit hard to say.

Although the legend doesn't mention many details about the Silver Witch's appearance, only saying that she was a beautiful girl, since she's called the Silver Witch, it's intuitive to think that she would have silver hair, right?
This girl happens to be beautiful from a human aesthetic point of view...

Doesn't that match up perfectly?

Could the legend be true? Is the deity "Silver Witch" not a myth, but a real and existing being, right before our eyes?
Was it actually a stroke of good luck, rather than a stroke of bad luck?
