Witch Redemption

The witch Eris, wielding the "Purple Night" greatsword, unleashed her most terrifying speed and power to date. With a heavy stomp, the earth cracked instantly, as if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart, and a raging storm violently swept in all directions.

At that moment, the witch Eris, who had leaped into the air, transformed into a speeding meteor, trailing a long black fiery tail, determined to kill the traitorous witch Karen Elf.

"You can't escape!"

Although the greatsword that slashed down did not directly strike the elven witch's body, how terrifying was that mountain-splitting blow? The explosive force directly smashed a huge crater fifty meters wide into the rocky ground, and the unstoppable shockwave directly overturned the elven witch who was hurriedly on guard, sending her flying into the air.

"You've lost your footing, you're dead!"

With fluid grace, the witch Eris, having once again stomped her foot on the ground, unleashed a terrifying power.

"Tyrant's Strike!"

This is the complete form of the witch Eris. Her power and defense are already at the highest level that many witches cannot reach. Even without relying on the cheat-like talent skill of "power absorption", she can still wield unparalleled power.

If it weren't for the first exchange, during which she realized that the traitorous witch Karen Elf was far less powerful than her, she wouldn't have adopted such an aggressive offensive approach.

Softness can overcome hardness; if you can't be soft, then be even more reckless than your opponent!

This is her fighting style.

Eris, the crocodile witch, and Wild Hunt, the fish-man witch, are not only leveling maniacs, but also top-notch combat geniuses!

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

"Such a wrought iron!"

Outrageous!

Is this some kind of outrageous nonsense?

Li Lan truly hadn't expected that when this witch revealed her true strength, she would be so formidable. Even though everyone's magic books were of similar level, aside from the first test, the difference was surprisingly large.

It must be said that this despairing reality instantly overturned the ideas that Li Lan had previously conceived.

One force can overcome ten techniques; in the face of absolute power, any schemes and tricks are futile, and this is exactly the situation Li Lan is currently facing.

Upon closer examination, the combination of race and profession for each witch was inherently unfair from the very beginning.

He was a priest wearing cloth armor, practically powerless, and now he was being ravaged by a heavily armored warrior wearing plate and visor armor. What could he possibly do?

"Is this posture indicative of demigodhood?"

Although he managed to avoid the most fatal blow, the terrifying shockwave still sent him flying, leaving him with even more massive wounds and crippling his left hand.

At this moment, flying flesh and blood, along with a massive amount of blood, rained down from the sky, and intense pain surged through Li Lan's brain in waves, making it unbearable.

If it were an ordinary witch, she would probably have been knocked unconscious while being blasted away by this violent attack.

As Li Lan struggled to adjust her posture tens of meters in the air, her eyes met those of the grinning, demonic witch below.

"This hit is probably going to finish me off! But at this angle, I can take a gamble!"

Li Lan remained calm. After so many years of life-and-death experiences, mere physical pain could not stop him from thinking.

He is not even afraid of death, so why should he be afraid of this desperate situation?

"I will bear all of this! I must bear all of this!"

In order to successfully enter the Abyss Rift, to cover the group of relatively weak witches, and to see Lana again, Li Lan would risk her life for it!

He quickly moved his mangled, twisted left hand in front of him and clenched it tightly, while raising the Libra Cross Greatsword in his right hand high, intending to fight to the death!

"It's impressive that you can absorb my power and retaliate, but I don't believe you can even absorb power like this!"

"Revelation!"

The giant hammer of life that suddenly appeared in the twisted left hand was so hard that it couldn't be held at all and slammed down from above.

At the same moment, the witch Eris, displaying her "Tyrant Slash," once again charged forward with a black fiery tail, her stomping shattering the ground, aiming to kill the rogue witch Karen Elf, who was airborne and unable to exert any force.

"too late!"

In the eyes of the witch Eris, this rogue witch only now remembered to use her professional artifact to fight her, which was not only too late, but also an overestimation of her own abilities.

Both of her hands bulged with exaggerated muscles, especially her mutated right hand, where veins bulged and it displayed an unparalleled sense of power.

In that instant, the "Purple Night" heavy sword, unleashed with a thunderous sonic boom, seemed to want to split the entire sky in two.

However, she never expected that this invincible slash, which could easily break through the defenses of even abyssal monsters, would be unable to cleave away this falling giant hammer.

"No! This is..."

Karen Elf's power? No, his power couldn't possibly be that great! Is this the weight of his professional artifact? No, how could there be such a professional artifact!

In a clash of forces, the weaker party is usually thrown back. But this is not the case for the witch Eris. She feels as if she is being trampled under the feet of a colossal beast, right next to its paw, about to be crushed to the ground.

"Power Absorption" was completely unable to absorb this gravity, and because her opponent had no intention of using the giant hammer to kill her, the main killing intent came from the raised Libra Cross Greatsword, which meant that she never thought that the giant hammer weapon was dangerous.

No, no one could possibly suspect that there's anything fishy about this hammer, because there's no professional artifact that a witch can't lift!

The moment the "Purple Night" greatsword clashed with the "Revelation" giant hammer, a violent storm continued to ripple outwards. But after that thunderous explosion, the witch Eris found herself beneath the "Revelation" giant hammer, plummeting wildly.

Finished!

"Wild Hunt! Help me!"

In the face of imminent death, the witch Eris, who had been all glamorous just a moment before, roared in utter astonishment and crashed heavily to the ground with a roar.

Li Lan had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

He may not be able to wield this hammer, but that doesn't mean it's trash. Back in the British Empire, the slime's predecessor experienced the hammer's power firsthand. Today, it's just a matter of time before it's used on a sufficiently cautious witch.

"Soul solace!"

Desperate measures, Li Lan never imagined that one day she would use this skill on an enemy.

As the emerald green light emanating from her natal magic book shone, the mark formed by "Soul Soothing" quickly transformed into a thorn mark on the witch Eris's right hand. Her demon form was instantly and completely dispelled, and her aura plummeted.

"Divine power!"

Li Lan's right hand also began to swell with exaggerated muscles, and her strength instantly reached its peak.

Immediately, the "Revelation" giant hammer slammed the witch hard onto the ground, crushing most of her body below the chest into a bloody pulp. Li Lan's Libra Cross Greatsword, which swung down from above, also grazed the witch Eris's neck, which had returned to normal. Her head, with an incredulous expression, rolled to the side.

Eris the witch has fallen!

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

“Eris…”

Death came too quickly. The merfolk witch Wild Hunt was watching the entire battle almost constantly, but even so, she never expected that there would be a time when she couldn't get involved.

In less than a second, the powerful witch Eris lay dead on the spot, dying a violent death. How could he accept this?

Before their transmigration, the Witch Wild Hunt and the Witch Eris were a deeply devoted couple, having already pledged their lives to each other. After arriving in this world, they became even closer, relying on each other for survival. They had promised to reach the pinnacle of life in this kingdom, which resembled a game world, and walk together until the end of their lives.

But now, the witch Eris is dead?

Even though she had always believed that this world was just a game and that any player would return to their original world after death, now, when her loved ones were truly dying in front of her, the Witch Hunter realized just how angry she was, so angry that she had completely lost her mind.

"Eris!"

With a furious roar, as if a valve of power had been opened, the bloodshot-eyed merman witch, Mad Hunter, suddenly spread her arms wide.

"Domain Skill: Frenzied Tide!"

Within the vast expanse of the Traso Gallery, all the water elements floating in the air are frantically condensing, about to transform into an endless flood that will soar into the sky.

The water elemental mage, the Murloc witch Wild Hunter, is an extremely rare race. The combination of his rare race and the highly compatible and ubiquitous witch class has created his almost insurmountable and terrifying strength.

Unlike typical water elemental mages, the Murloc witch Wild Hunt's unique characteristic is that the more water exists around her, the stronger she becomes. Furthermore, all areas covered by her water domain fall within her attack range.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that the cooperative hunts between Eris the Witch and the Wild Hunt are mainly led by Eris the Witch, while the Wild Hunt basically plays a supporting role and rarely goes all out.

The Witch Wild Hunt, when she goes all out, is definitely stronger than the Witch Eris!

Unfortunately, the Witch Hunter was blinded by rage. Normally, she would have carefully controlled her opponent's actions before using her powerful trump card, "Domain Skill: Frenzied Tide," because this trump card requires about two seconds to cast.

He felt like he was going crazy. His only thought was to get rid of his greatest enemy at all costs, but this also exposed his most fatal flaw.

On the other side, Li Lan, who had forcefully killed the witch Eris, dragged his heavy body and, with his blurred consciousness, launched a final desperate attack.

"Lightning speed!"

Another trump card unique to Li Lan, the priest, was unleashed. In an instant, his speed doubled, and with the powerful effect of "divine descent," he shattered the "Water Prison Creation" that was surrounding him with a single sword strike. His sharp gaze locked onto the enraged witch, the Wild Huntress.

"Given my physical condition, I can only maintain consciousness for about ten seconds. Within those ten seconds, I must kill him!"

Forgetting her pain, letting the rushing water become a blur in her vision, the elven witch Karen Elf also unleashed her unique racial talent.

That's speed, unparalleled speed!

The blood-stained figure transformed into a fleeting glimpse of beauty, raising its greatsword to pierce through layers of water curtains, creating loud explosions that crackled through one layer after another.

The storm howled past, and the figure, brimming with murderous intent, charged forward fearlessly.

"At this speed..."

Shock, utter shock!

Both the Witch Wild Hunt and Hope, the Ravenwing witch who was observing the battle, were shocked.

The Empire's intelligence reports made no mention of the rogue witch Karen Elf possessing such incredible speed.

"No, we can't send reinforcements!"

The witch Hope, who had been observing from the shadows, finally realized the seriousness of the situation. She abandoned the idea of ​​"shared knowledge of the soul" and gave up on controlling the entire situation. She decided to personally end this farce. Now was the time.

When the Witch Hunter realized that using her trump card would inevitably lead to failure, she instead laughed in anger, clenching her right hand, which was wearing the "flowing water" glove, into a fist.

He's not a ranged mage, but a melee mage; he's not afraid of anyone in melee combat!

"Water Flow Rock Crushing Fist!"

A large amount of moisture floating in the air began to surge towards the location of the Witch Wild Hunt, condensing, boiling, and then bursting forth in his raised right fist.

I'm going to kill you!

Taking a step forward, the merfolk witch's unique talent skill, "Displacement Movement," reappeared. The witch, like a phantom, narrowly avoided the fatal piercing attack, then lunged forward...

Even with the added speed, ordinary basic attacks were insufficient to inflict significant damage on the merman witch.

This did not surprise Li Lan. Just as the man's right hand pierced through his chest, Li Lan released the Libra Cross Greatsword at the same time, and with a swift movement of his right hand, pressed down on the back of the man's neck.

The Divine Power skill initially had a range of only 100 meters. Regardless of the method used, as long as the giant hammer was pinned to the ground, he could gain his strongest strength for up to one minute. However, as his skill proficiency increased, the range has now expanded to 700 meters. Within these 700 meters, he can unleash power that breaks through his limits.

In other words, Li Lan's current grab is at least at the level of a demigod, and ridiculously strong at that.
