Once the affection level is maxed out, the rivalry begins!

How could he know who I am!

Lin Tingwan was a little flustered.

Based on what she learned from the Bureau of Spirit Disasters, witches are quite rare humanoid anomalies. Unless there is something that attracts them to gather, it is normal for their numbers to remain at one or two even in a densely populated metropolis like Fuyana City.

The Bureau of Spirit Disasters was able to identify her magical characteristics by relying on a contained anomaly, but this strange person who suddenly appeared could do the same thing, and seemed to disregard the Bureau of Spirit Disasters.

When he says "this era," does he mean some kind of immortal being who has lived for a very long time?

"Which terrorist organization are you a member of?"

She remained on guard while speculating.

The Bureau of Spiritual Disasters is not the only large organization dealing with anomalous entities. There are also illegal associations that advocate that humanity should make the most of anomalous entities, such as the Divided Association, which believes that supernatural beings should take the lead in dominating society. Most of these illegal associations are hostile to the former and have the motivation to disrupt the Bureau of Spiritual Disasters' operations.

—When she said terrorist organizations, did she mean that in Lin Tingwan's eyes, the Spirit Disaster Bureau represented justice... or rather, the side of order?

Bai Ze pondered.

—Should I become a villainous officer in an evil organization?

"Don't treat me like some mere terrorist; our goals are far beyond your comprehension," he replied casually.

"Huh? What is it?" Lin Tingwan blinked.

How would I know? Why are you asking so seriously?

Bai Ze, who hadn't finished writing the character settings yet, silently complained.

"Anyway, I'll accept the things. Are you going to try to stop me? Maybe it'll just hasten your loss of reason?"

He asked tentatively.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 20 ...

"You're the one who's irrational!"

Lin Tingwan was furious. She pulled a cross-shaped gun blade from the ground. "Fine, I'll beat you up first, then find out the truth."

In other words, she was unaware of the negative effects of becoming a witch.

So, is the so-called Bureau of Spiritual Disasters also unaware of this, or is it deliberately concealing it?

The witch's power increases with each victory, making her fight and win against other superhumans like she did before tantamount to slow poison.

The surrounding dust fell slowly as if in slow motion, and as time stretched out, spiderweb-like cracks appeared beneath Lin Tingwan's feet.

The ground suddenly sank, and she struck Bai Ze like a meteorite. Her spear blade rose from the lower right at incredible speed, causing trembling ripples to spread through the air!

But this thunderous strike failed to achieve its purpose. As if extending from the opponent's left hand, a silver sword blade grew out, blocking her weapon like a shield.

More importantly, the magic attached to the blade did not have any strengthening effect at all; it seemed to have vanished without a trace as if it had disappeared into thin air.

Is it some kind of unknown item-type anomaly?

The unprecedented situation caused her some frustration.

[The degree of witch-like transformation has been slightly reduced]

At the same time, Bai Ze received a confirmation notification.

As expected, if someone gains superhuman power but is then subjected to being spun around like a top, they're bound to experience negative emotions.

Bai Ze put away his random thoughts, swung his sword down and bit down on the girl who was trying to pull her spear back, casually uttering a sarcastic remark:

"With your current abilities?"

The physical enhancement brought by the [Human-Machine Fusion] trait is quite considerable, but the side effect is that it feels like a hundred liters of diesel fuel has been poured into the blood vessels, and the body has an urge to explode at any time, wanting to release the excessive power.

And now, the fuse has been lit.

Crimson flames rose from the girl's body, the almost tangible heat nearly baking the air into a transparent shape, and whipping up a gale in all directions.

"It can only sever magic power—"

She gripped the thorns wrapped around the gun tightly. "I'll use them all to strengthen myself."

It looks like he's about to unleash some powerful attack, but Bai Ze doesn't intend to take it head-on.

So he gently flicked the back of the blade that was pressing against the tip of the spear.

[Blood Resonance: Each hit on an enemy will imprint a hunting mark, which will detonate on the next hit, stacking up to nine times.]

The two clashes between the spear and sword had already met the conditions for activating the ability, and Lin Tingwan, who was preparing to crush her opponent in one fell swoop, suddenly noticed something amiss.

It was like a bomb detonating inside the body. The well-circulated magic circuit short-circuited in an instant, and the chaotic forces killed each other, eventually turning into a shock wave that overflowed from the body!

"Guwa!"

Amidst the cacophony of impacts, Lin Tingwan was sent flying backward, tumbling to dissipate the force before finally using her spear to stabilize herself and manage to stand up with difficulty.

She looked up and saw that the strange man, dressed almost like a Kamen Rider, wasn't giving chase and was calmly staying in place.

The humiliation of losing the first battle and being held back by the enemy surged into Bai Ze's heart, turning into the constant notifications that "the degree of witch transformation has decreased slightly."

"What...what exactly is your purpose?"

As far as she knew, witches not only possessed magical power far exceeding that of humans, but their resistance to the mystical realm was also comparable to that of dragons.

But the strange creature in front of her not only possessed abilities such as breaking magic, but could even disrupt her magical energy flow—it was practically a biological weapon designed specifically for witches.

"Didn't you already guess?"

Bai Ze stepped forward. "I am your nemesis, the Witch Killer—the executor of the Eternal Serpent."

He originally wanted to say he was a witch assassin, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was impossible for him to actually harm Lin Tingwan. Given enough time, even someone as intelligent as her would realize something was amiss and begin to doubt his identity.

However, it's fine to fabricate a mysterious organization. Whether it wants to go easy on people or do something strange, it's all part of the organization's grand scheme!

"The Executor of the Eternal Serpent?"

Lin Tingwan tried to recall if she had heard any related rumors, but to no avail.

"I'm just here to say hello."

Bai Ze raised the sword blade that had grown from his left arm and swung it down fiercely.

The wind pressure tore through the ground, creating a trench more than ten meters long between the two people.

This was a line he had always wanted to say in the real world.

Incidentally, another line is spoken while clapping as he enters: "What a wonderful battle, but your time ends here."

Therefore, he doesn't resist playing villains in evil organizations; rather, he enjoys it.

"Wait, don't even think about escaping!"

Lin Tingwan, whose magic was in disarray, could only kneel on the spot and watch helplessly as the other party snatched away the anomaly, turned around, and leaped away from the barrier set up by the Spirit Disaster Bureau.

"hateful……"

The girl was overwhelmed by the regret of her first mission failure, which also aroused her hostility towards the organization called the "Eternal Serpent".

First, it must be reported to the Bureau of Spirit Disasters, and then... she will request to participate in the investigation of this emerging force.

"The witch's nemesis... I will defeat you with my own hands!"

Then we'll lift his armor mask and enjoy the look of frustration on his face after he's tasted defeat!
