Witch Redemption

Ann Gnath is right. While the evil witch's methods are despicable, they are indeed the best way to become stronger. Since this evil witch can even kill her own people, Helen Kingsley can do the same, using the "witch devouring" technique to bring this evil witch to justice!

The wind elements floating in the air began to converge wildly in Helen Kingsley's right hand, condensing into a dazzling, slightly green light that instantly transformed into the elemental bowstring of "Night Sky Song," causing the surrounding airflow to fluctuate even more violently.

...... ...... ......

From the moment she confirmed the other person's identity and whereabouts, Della knew that she couldn't bear to let this guy live a single moment longer. This guy exuded an aura that inexplicably made her feel nauseous, an aura that reminded her of the evil witch, Ann Gnath, who had nearly driven them to the brink of destruction.

"I want to kill him!"

No, the real thought was, "I must kill him!"

"Bai Yu!"

The moment she raised her hand, the archer's exclusive artifact appeared before Della. This longbow, constructed from pure white snow feathers, was extremely elegant. It seemed not to be a dangerous longbow weapon, but rather a magnificent work of art.

Equally focused and with a cold expression, Della drew back the pure white bowstring without hesitation. In an instant, the air swirling within a radius of nearly a hundred meters frantically condensed, creating a rapidly swirling hurricane, which then transformed in Della's hand into a magical arrow entirely constructed of white air currents.

With the "Extreme Eagle Eye" buff, the range that the sharpshooter can see is the longest range that she can attack.

Most sharpshooters prefer to stay at the limit of their range to launch attacks, but Della is different. For her, being a "sharpshooter" means that the closer the distance, the higher the accuracy and the greater the killing power.

So, at the very moment she drew her bow, she stomped her feet and began to run wildly down the slope.

"I don't know what these guys are besieging. The most important thing is to ruin their plans and reduce this suspected witch's numbers as much as possible."

If you can't fight him one-on-one, then create the conditions for a one-on-one fight yourself!

"Ultimate Divine Arrow!"

Without hesitation, Della unleashed her unique high-powered skill as a "sharpshooter." In an instant, the trembling pure white wind arrow in Della's hand transformed into a rapidly spinning spiral, exploding with a deafening thunderous roar the moment it left her hand.

Before you could even blink, the spiraling arrow pierced the air, covering a distance of tens of thousands of meters, ignoring the unfamiliar man, and directly attacking the elven army surrounding him.

Suddenly, a magical shield shot into the sky, multicolored and layered, instantly annihilating all her attacks.

"Hmm? This kind of alliance is indeed disadvantageous to me!"

The failure of the first probing attack was not unexpected for Della, and at the same time, Helen Kingsley launched her own offensive. A wind arrow of the same nature exploded in the air with a sonic boom, and within a second, it had officially entered Della's defensive range.

He released his control over the professional artifact "White Feather" with his right hand, letting it dissipate into a fluorescent glow. Then, his hands flashed towards the Libra Cross Greatsword on his back.

With her arms bulging with muscle, who would have thought that Della, skilled in long-range shooting, would not choose to engage in a sniper duel at the middle gate, but instead use the safest method to directly cut off this sudden and powerful offensive!

Chapter 41 Mid-Door Sniping Match

"The power of this strike..."

Helen Kingsley stared at this very unusual and unfamiliar witch with great surprise. It was obvious that ordinary physical attacks would not be able to withstand her skill attacks. This guy was obviously using witch's professional skills as well.

"Could it be a secondary profession? It seems that this guy, like Roman Hydra and me, has the secondary profession of Witch Devourer... No, if it really is a profession that devours other witches, she wouldn't have been able to activate her profession skill directly without using the profession artifact just now."

At the edge of the field of vision, the Crimson Witch suddenly discarded her twin swords, her hands bulging with muscles. After directly slashing away all the incoming attacks, she was still sprinting at high speed, seemingly not intending to continue the long-range duel.

"This guy's target isn't me at all; his target is the coalition forces surrounding me!"

Helen Kingsley wasn't a fool; she quickly figured out the guy's intentions.

Currently, a large number of allied forces are using "magical fortifications" to contain three demigod-level beings and Roman Hydra, and it will take some time to exhaust their stamina. After all, these individuals are far more dangerous than this unfamiliar witch, and dealing with them must be a priority no matter what happens.

"We can't let this guy get close to this area, and the allied forces using the magic array can't be disturbed too much either. Since she doesn't take me seriously, then I'll just use the strongest means to kill her!"

The first wave of attacks was just a simple probe; Helen Kingsley didn't actually go all out. But what happened next was different.

Helen Kingsley, once a witch of the Night Owl race, has now mutated into a member of the "Abyss Gods" and possesses a total of twenty spellbook skills. In addition to the initial "Eagle Eye," "Piercing Arrow," and "Swift Arrow," there are also support skills such as "Ultimate Eagle Eye" and "Eye of the Night Owl," which are obtained after upgrading the spellbook, as well as passive skills such as "Lord of the Storm," "Elemental Affinity," "Absolute Lock-On," and "Precision Power Burst."

As for the attack and defense spellbook skills, there are a total of eleven. Among them, the common class skills are "Radiant Arrow", "Divine Arrow", "Ultimate Divine Arrow", "Storm Arrow Rain", "Ultimate Storm Arrow Rain", "Six-Hit Wind Arrow", "Hurricane Trap", and "Gale Surround". There are also three trump cards that can trigger miracles: "Domain Skill: Gravity Space", "Domain Skill: Rift Wind", and "Original Skill: Night Wind".

It can be said that the true specialization of the Night Owl Clan's "sharpshooters" lies in archery techniques related to "wind elements," possessing both extreme speed and the sharpest lethality.

Helen Kingsley initially used the most basic wind-based archery technique, "Radiant Arrow," to test her opponent's abilities with a wind-elemental arrow. However, the Scarlet Witch completely deviated from the expected approach, choosing not to engage in a direct confrontation with archery but instead using melee combat to completely negate his attack.

What does this mean?

This suggests that this guy is very likely not confident in his shooting skills, and may even be slightly inferior to him.

"It's hard to tell what race this witch is yet. Judging from her archery skills when she attacked the allied forces, it's clearly the same as my skill 'Extreme Divine Arrow,' but not as powerful. It seems she's very likely a wind-type archer."

Witch classes vary depending on the witch's race. For example, the warrior witch class has more than ten sub-classes. Even within the swordsman class, there can be different elemental preferences and even different fighting styles, such as the "berserker" type of swordsman.

At that moment, countless thoughts raced through Helen Kingsley's mind, and her actions were equally decisive.

He then drew back the wind element bowstring of the vine longbow "Night Sky Song" once more. The violent air currents once again condensed in his hand, and this time the condensation directly caused the air currents in the vast area to tremble, as if the surrounding space had temporarily fallen into a vacuum.

This unusual sight even made Sharon Fern, the elven woman who was commanding the allied forces a hundred meters away, turn pale.

As the wife of the former witch Warrickson, Sharon Fern had gained her husband's trust to some extent, and naturally knew that her husband Warrickson and the archbishop of the Chaos Order of the Kingdom of Ross were connected with witches, and that they were even witches in their previous lives.

Otherwise, they wouldn't possess such a peculiar book, similar to a natal magic book.

“My husband once said that witches have a concept of levels and can grow to a certain extent. But once the heroes of this world gain the approval of the witch's artifact, they can inherit the witch's abilities and elevate the witch's original abilities to their peak.”

Even so, there are differences in strength among the heroes who successfully seize the Demon God's Artifact. Although they can obtain the "max level" Demon God's Artifact, what truly determines how powerful they can use it is their original strength.

Generally speaking, the heroes who obtain divine artifacts are at least junior generals, and the strongest can reach the rank of general, or even demigods who have awakened their true nature.

In other words, for heroes who possess divine artifacts, their strength actually lies in the intensity of their own magic. This is the same for any native inhabitant of this world, and Warrickson, who possessed the body of a native, is also subject to this limitation.

However, in Sharon Fern's perception at this moment, Helen Kingsley still seemed to be a witch, lacking any of the magical power expected of the native inhabitants of this world. When she activated her natal magic book, there were absolutely no magical fluctuations around her. All the elements in the air seemed to be under the control of the natal magic book, suddenly gaining a certain degree of activity.

"Helen Kingsley, this man is no ordinary person. The pressure he's putting on me is something only a true demigod in our country could possess!"

Sharon Fern was shocked not only by Helen Kingsley's displayed strength, but also by his low-key demeanor. Since their previous meeting, this man had been hiding his true strength and had never shown it to her and Warrickson.

Little did he know, Helen Kingsley wouldn't confide in anyone other than Ann Gnath. Given his cautious nature, he wouldn't have even considered showing off his skills if this sudden, unfamiliar witch hadn't put so much pressure on him. Moreover, even if he did show off, he still wasn't at his full potential. If he truly wanted to reveal his true strength, his appearance and the destructive power he would unleash would be absolutely astonishing.

Right now, Helen Kingsley's attention was entirely focused on the Scarlet Witch, and he wanted to use one of his most powerful trump cards, "Domain Technique: Gravity Space".

This skill imbues wind-elemental arrows with powerful earth-elemental abilities, first destroying everything within a 500-meter radius with penetrating attacks, tearing it to shreds, and then creating an unstoppable space of absolute gravity.

In other words, even if this trump card doesn't kill the opponent immediately, it can still create a terrifying gravity hundreds of times stronger in the area where the opponent is located. Even demigod-level powerhouses would struggle against the aftereffects of this skill, with almost all their magic power used to fight against the unsolvable gravity. As for beings below the demigod level, they would be crushed into mincemeat and turned into a puddle of mud in an instant.

"Come on, keep using your sword skills against my trump card! I refuse to believe I can't kill you!"

The wind elemental arrow in Helen Kingsley's hand began to emit a dazzling purple light, and a huge current of air swirled wildly, messing up his short black hair and causing his white religious robes to flutter violently.

...... ...... ......

Dual-wielding swordsman is Della's secondary job. This secondary job has only one effect: it allows Della to have the same job as her best friend Britney, the Berserker.

Della's magic book is currently at level 40 or higher, and she has unlocked a total of 17 skills for her Berserker subclass.

In reality, the so-called "Berserker" class in the Witch class is the simplest and most brutal. The majority of its skills are "status skills," whether passive or supportive, all designed to amplify its own abilities. Only a handful of skills can truly be considered offensive.

Take Della at the current stage as an example. Once she chooses to use "Berserker", she will use more than ten "status skills" at once.

"Battle Continuation", "Killing Intuition", "Berserk Mode", "Blood Absorption", "Unparalleled Strength", "Pain Paralysis", "Fearless Speed", "God's Fallen Blood", "Killing Intent Wave" and "Tremor" - these ten status skills are the powerful means that Della often uses to empower herself.

Aside from these ten status skills, Della has three other means to further drive herself into madness: "Severe Decline in Reason," "Loss of Darkness," and "Domain Skill: Blood Avatar."

It could be said that when Della only uses ten Berserker state skills, she can still maintain a certain degree of consciousness. However, once she chooses the second stage state skill, she will completely lose her mind and entrust all her instincts to a frenzied killing spree.

Berserkers are inherently an evil class that comes at the cost of losing rationality, often placing a tremendous burden on the witch herself. Because of this loss of reason, Berserkers are also a violent class that relies on basic attacks for damage output, with very few offensive skills.

Della can only truly control three techniques: "Reverse Cross Sword Technique", "Breaking Army", and "Blood of Slaughter".

The Reverse Cross Sword Technique endows Della with her most instinctive fighting skills, transforming her into a killing machine of war; the Breaking Army allows Della to "slay" most energy attacks to a certain extent when using the Libra Cross Greatsword, and even adds the effect of breaking magic; while the Blood of Slaughter allows Della's killing intent and blood energy to become an extension of her attacks, making up for the lack of ranged attacks, and making the area within a radius of fifty meters become the absolute killing domain of the "Berserker".

Just a second earlier, Della had directly deflected the incoming "Radiant Arrow" by using multiple status skills of the Berserker, as well as the attack skill "Reverse Cross Sword Technique" combined with the effect of "Breaking Army". This was also her best way to deal with any ranged attack related to "energy".

"Radiant Arrow? This guy's marksman class is indeed similar to mine, and it seems that the first wave of attacks was just a test, and he didn't use his trump card."

"Although I wanted to take action against these allied forces and stop their magic bases, it seems unlikely now."

Because the defensive magic these guys used was very unusual, Della used the "Extreme Divine Descent Arrow," which was far more powerful than "Radiant Arrow." However, this kind of wind-based shooting technique was easily blocked by the various elemental shields cast by the allied forces.

Della seemed to have only two choices: either engage this man, who appeared to be a witch, in a direct confrontation, taking him down head-on, and then using her superior marksmanship to break through the allied forces' magical elemental shields from a distance; or advance recklessly, utilizing close combat to unleash the berserker class's strongest advantage. Even if she couldn't unleash a devastating attack in the crowd, she could temporarily break through the allied forces' magical defenses at the cost of losing her sanity for a short period.

"My marksman class has a limited number of trump cards that can be used indefinitely, so they must be carefully managed. After all, there are too many enemies, and the only way to deal with them might be to start with Britney's class."

"Besides, they've definitely trapped someone. If we free these guys, then..."

In less than a second of contemplation, in Della's vision, the man standing atop the mountain peak had once again drawn his longbow. This time, the drawing of the bow triggered a significant elemental disturbance, causing the vast area around him to distort slightly.

It's obvious this guy is about to reveal his trump card!

Suddenly regaining her footing, Della quickly slung the two Libra Cross Greatswords behind her back and summoned her own class artifact once again, the "White Feather" Bow.

"We can't hesitate any longer, the answer is already obvious!"

It's just a sniper duel at the middle gate? Della might be able to take on such a challenge. Although she is also a sharpshooter, Della is extremely rare, and can even be said to be the only witch race in ten thousand years, the "Fallen Feathered Clan", a dark race that mutated later in life.

She only shares some of the spellbook skills with this man who is suspected of being a witch; if one were to truly distinguish between them, the differences would be immeasurable.

"Weakness prediction!"

With just one glance, I could immediately predict this guy's biggest weakness. "Although I can't see any major weaknesses, I can probably estimate the power and weaknesses of his upcoming killing move. The most damaging part should be the latter half of the attack, so I either have to dodge it or defeat it head-on, taking all of its skills into account!"

Della drew her "White Feather" longbow once more, her expression hardening. Without hesitation, she used her "Sharpshooter" trump card, acquired after her magic book reached level 40, "Domain Skill: Broken Wings."

The Feathered Race symbolizes endless hope and light, while the Fallen Feathered Race is its opposite, symbolizing distant despair and darkness.

In the present world, apart from a witch named "Karen Elf", no third party knows the true race of Della Bertie, the fallen god, nor does anyone know what burdens this witch Della Bertie carries.

"Domain Skill: Broken Wings" is an extremely special skill. Once such a skill is used, Della will officially regain her former form as a true "Divine Feather Clan" and unleash the most powerful light-type attack.

However, this attack doesn't maintain its positive attributes indefinitely; instead, it transforms entirely into negative energy within a short period, resulting in an irresistible annihilation effect.

Della originally didn't want to use this trump card, since there was only one chance per day. However, the group of guys in the distance posed too great a threat to her, especially the man who seemed to be a witch. He seemed to want to force her into a "mid-range confrontation" from beginning to end.

Since that's the case, Della can grant this guy's wish, and she has a feeling that this is a huge opportunity.

At the moment the bow was drawn, the "Angel's Ring," symbolizing the Feathered Clan, shattered and appeared above Della's head. Her flowing crimson hair began to shed its corrupted hue, returning to its radiant golden glow. Then, elegant white wings suddenly unfurled, causing warm, luminous feathers to slowly drift down within a radius of several hundred meters.

Hope and light are now in Della's hands, and they are about to be extinguished in her hands!

Chapter 42 A Glimmer of Hope

The elemental arrows pierced through the air, triggering an even more violent spatial tremor.

Helen Kingsley's Storm Arrow unleashed a super hurricane that swept across the land, its countless sharp wind blades annihilating countless mountains, cutting down everything in its path and reducing everything to ruins. Meanwhile, Della's Arrow of Light transformed into a blindingly bright white sun, its supersonic explosion sending a deafening roar through the air.

At that moment, the world seemed to freeze. The raging wind element and the furious light element created a two-dimensional battleground, brewing an even more terrifying energy explosion.

Immediately afterwards, another earth-shattering explosion occurred, and the detonated matter and energy burst open like a nuclear explosion, turning into an unstoppable shock wave that spread in all directions!

"shit!"

Helen Kingsley had initially thought that this strange witch might continue to use her invincible sword skills to cut off his powerful trump card again, but the guy didn't fall for it at all. As soon as he saw that things were not going well, he immediately took out the longbow that was unique to "sharp archers" and used his trump card archery skills that could match hers.
