Witch Redemption

A loud bang was heard, and golden light waves spread out like ripples.

As the light waves spread, the fog over the entire plain dissipated, revealing all the pseudo-chaos hidden on the plain.

This is the power of the "Dawn of Light" bullets sold by the Holy See. They can break through the fog over a large area and break through the disguise and concealment effects of any mid-level or lower-level monsters. Each bullet costs ten Williams, making them extremely expensive!

But after using this bullet, which they would normally never use, everyone present was stunned.

Because, the terrible scene finally unfolded.

Starting from a radius of fifty meters, every ten meters there was a lurking mimicry of chaos, filling the entire field of vision!

What utter despair!

"What time is it? These people are still spacing out?"

Unaffected by the current situation, Li Lan didn't care how many monsters were around. The moment the bronze-level adventurer was killed, he had already headed straight for the mimicking chaos that was taking shape.

Chapter 37 A One-Minute Hero

Having already raised his level to level three, Li Lan's strength was far beyond what it had been before. He wielded the 50-plus-pound Libra Cross Greatsword with one hand, unleashing unprecedented speed and power.

Having received numerous instructions from number 47, Li Lan was thoroughly familiar with the weaknesses of mimicry chaos.

The moment when the mimicry chaos is stained with blood and undergoes its transformation is when they are most vulnerable, and at that moment they will not put up any resistance.

The greatsword he swung shrieked as it pierced the air, shattering the magic cores of three mimicking chaos. Undeterred, Li Lan swiftly and astonishingly eliminated the nearest writhing mimicking chaos in a matter of seconds.

When he came to his senses, he found that the adventurers and five employers were still standing there, and the plains were now filled with simulated chaos.

"..."

These people must be terrified. It's one thing for these adventurers to be terrified, but what about those two witches?

Lolina and Ann Gnath were truly terrified. After the silver adventurer revealed the reality of their surroundings with "Dawn of Light," they felt a deep-seated fear.

After all, this was the first time they had been so closely surrounded by monsters since they had transmigrated to this world.

Such a number would definitely cause deaths!

Unlike Li Lan and Lana, who had walked through the gates of hell several times, the two of them were still completely ordinary people psychologically.

"Stop standing there, take them with you!"

Compared to these adventurers, Li Lan was more optimistic about the two witch companions, and he quickly shouted at Lolina and Ann Grenas.

At this moment, Li Lan didn't care whether her professional skills were still usable or not, and directly summoned her professional artifact, "Revelation!"

The immensely heavy hammer of life once again appeared quietly in front of Li Lan, and he grasped the handle without hesitation.

"Pray!", "Bless!", "Protect!", "Courage!"

The four buffs exclusive to a level three priest were unleashed by Li Lan in less than a second.

Moreover, Li Lan never expected that the skill "Courage," which she originally thought was the most useless, would actually play a surprisingly effective role at this moment.

All the adventurers present, including the two witches who were in a daze, suddenly felt a powerful surge of motivation within them because of Li Lan's "Courage" skill, which drove them to take quick steps.

"Everyone, follow! Retreat the way we came!"

Richard didn't understand why his heart had suddenly changed like this. One second he was terrified by the desperate situation, and the next second all the fear had miraculously disappeared.

Indeed, they were now surrounded on the plain by thousands of simulated chaos. But they were adventurers, desperate men who had come out to earn a living. It was life or death. What was there to be upset about?

That's courage. With courage, anyone can become a hero!

The moment Richard and everyone else chose to retreat, all the pseudo-chaos on the plain seemed to sense their intentions and charged forward like a surging tide.

"Everyone draw your guns!"

All the adventurers carrying steam rifles skillfully loaded and fired in one smooth motion. The loud gunshots hit the first wave of mimicry chaos, halting their advance.

………………

Ann Gnath, a rather shrewd transmigrator, has always adhered to the philosophy of "playing dumb to fool others" since arriving in this world, and has never wanted to actively reveal his true strength.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to act, because he saw that all around the plain were pseudo-chaos, and now they were all rushing in like a raging tide.

The overwhelming stench made him extremely nervous, but miraculously, he temporarily forgot his fear and only wanted to rush forward madly.

"As long as we break through the encirclement, there's a way to survive!"

With that in mind, he unhesitatingly opened the magic book beside him and took the initiative to call out the name of the professional holy artifact.

"roar!"

The next second, a huge knight's lance, more than two meters long, appeared in Ann Gnath's right hand. This knight's lance was no ordinary lance; the position where the spearhead should have been was replaced by a black cannon muzzle, with four saw-like blades extending all the way to the handguard.

Just as Ann Gnath took out the heavy weapon that was completely disproportionate to his height, he suddenly steadied himself, the long handle resting on his waist, the cannon at the tip of the knight's lance aimed at the swarm of mimicking chaotic monsters not far away.

"The Dragon Strike Cannon has a limit of three uses, so I have to use it sparingly."

Anna's azure beast eyes suddenly widened, and then the gun she was gripping with both hands suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and an icy blue light burst out from the dark muzzle!

Wherever it went, the powerful cold energy plowed open a three-meter-wide frost road, and the mimicry chaos affected by it instantly turned into ice sculptures and shattered.

"go!"

An strode towards the icy road...

Lolina's grimoire class is Necromancer. This class is very special. The sacred artifact she uses is not a scythe or a staff, but a strange black chain that can extend infinitely, called "Soul Stealer". Her early class skills are summoning skeletons and basic chain skills.

"Basic Necromancer Summoning!"

As a signature skill of the Necromancer in the early game, Lolina can summon twelve skeletons of relatively low strength at once.

The moment she opened her spellbook and began to cast her spell, twelve pairs of skeletal hands suddenly emerged from the surging darkness ten meters in front of her. They then leaped up and drew rusty blades from the darkness.

"This skill has a limit of ten uses. The current number of monsters around us is too much of a threat, so I can't hold back too much."

Lolina has always had this ruthless streak; she's the kind of person who'd go all out at crucial moments without considering the consequences. So she simply used up all of her skills at once.

But then, countless skeletal hands began to frantically reach out into the ground...

In the blink of an eye, both Lolina and Ann Gnath displayed unparalleled and astonishing strength. No one expected that these two people dressed in black gothic dresses would be such terrifying beings.

The mere presence of these two witches was enough to tear a gap in the plains surrounded by countless monsters.

Immediately, all the adventurers joined forces and used various methods, including steam rifles, sword fighting, and elemental magic, to maintain this hard-won life.

In just one minute, this group of adventurers, along with their five employers, broke through the encirclement of the simulated chaos at an unprecedented speed and arrived directly at the edge of the plain.

At that very moment, Li Lan and Lana were both enveloped in the mimicry chaos.

These monsters seemed to have only Li Lan and Lana in their eyes, completely ignoring everyone else.

………………

The group crossed the southern plains of the Mori Defense Forest without incident, and upon reaching the edge of the forest, they could see that all their steam cars were safely parked in place.

It seems that those pseudo-chaos had been lurking in the plains from the very beginning, unnoticed by anyone.

It was incredibly fortunate that their vehicle wasn't damaged by these monsters.

Soon, the three apothecaries and the two heads of the merchant guilds instructed the adventurers carrying herbs to put the herbs into the storage compartment of the "armored vehicle," and then the five of them eagerly entered the enclosed compartment.

"Hurry up!" Robin gave only this one instruction to the adventurers around him.

Richard's expression was also cold. "Let those two witches buy us some time. Our mission for today is complete. Retreat!"

As if Li Lan and Lana's sacrifices were a given, Richard quickly activated the vents after getting into the "armored vehicle," and the "armored vehicle" moved aside first, then sped off into the forest road after making a turn.

At this point, the adventurers around them followed suit and quickly climbed onto the steam car, eager to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Within three minutes, almost all the adventurers had left, leaving only the Ryan brothers, Lolina, Ann Gnath, and two other bronze-level adventurers who had missed the last bus. They were still standing in front of the last steam car.

"Brother, let's go now, it's too dangerous up there!"

Reiner was already pale; he had no idea what had given him that courage during that one minute he had rushed out of the plains.

Ryan opened his mouth, but when he turned around, he saw that the entire plain was covered with black and gray wriggling monsters. With that many monsters, there was nothing he and Ryan, as bronze-level adventurers, could do. If they rushed up to provide support, they would definitely die without even knowing how.

"I remember your name is Ryan, right? Hurry up and drive!"

"Stop dawdling! If we stay any longer, those monsters will kill those two witches, and we'll be next!"

Two bronze-level adventurers, their faces still showing signs of fear, had squeezed into the back seat of the steam-powered vehicle, constantly urging the last driver to hurry up.

Lorina hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the horde of monsters in the distance. Perhaps it was fate, but she turned around and walked back towards the monsters.

"Lorina! You're insane!"

Ann Gnath quickly called her back. Although Ann disliked this fat otaku, they were both being ostracized, and he naturally hoped to have more collaborators so that he would have more security in surviving in this world.

As for the other two guys who are completely out of sync and want to show off, let them be.

Ann truly loathed Li Lan and Lana; these two were so out of place with the other witches that he instinctively wanted to distance himself from them.

"An, don't be so selfish. I don't want to see those two guys playing the hero, and you feel the same way, right?"

Lolina, carrying the Libra Cross Greatsword, strode away without looking back.

Ann Gnath's expression was uncertain. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped directly into the steam car. "Mr. Ryan, please drive, thank you. If we miss our train, it will be difficult to explain to Mr. Robin later."

After Ann mentioned this, Ryan's expression finally changed.

Actually, he was thinking of waiting here a little longer to see if he could pick up those two guys, but now this matter involved his employer.

The people of the Empire have a deep-seated dislike for witches. Even if Ryan himself changes his attitude towards those witches, he must keep it to himself. To reveal it would only make him look foolish.

"In this matter, I can only follow the trend, I'm sorry."

Ryan gritted his teeth, his expression hardening, and got into the driver's seat.

The steam-powered car roared a few times and sped onto the jungle road.

Ann Gnath glanced back at the plain at the edge of the jungle, and the last trace of regret in his heart quietly dissipated.

"What's there to regret?"

Yes, what is there to regret? They have now been transported to a completely unknown world where everyone is struggling to survive.

As for saving the world? That's a complete joke!

Ann Gnath lives only for himself, and he always will. He only wants to become stronger in his own way and find a way home.

If I can't find it, I must at least restore my original body and then use the power in this magic book to make a name for myself in this other world!

Just minutes after the last steam car left, Li Lan successfully reunited with Lana.
