I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

Xier looked at the green patches and mountains below and thought with a little hesitation.

Recently she has read a lot of novels about traveling to other worlds. In many of them, the story progresses through time just by opening a door, going out, saving someone, or even going to the toilet. It is also possible to travel through time by walking into an unknown cave, right?

The strange idea that suddenly popped up in her mind made Xier laugh out loud. Didn’t she know that she had such a wild imagination?

"Ah, we're almost there."

The time of falling from a high altitude was neither short nor long. While Xier was thinking about strange things, she could already clearly see the scene below.

"Eh? Why is there so much smoke? Is there a fire?"

The closer Xier got to the ground, the more she felt that something was wrong. There was a raging fire on the ground below, and thick smoke was rising, just like a fire. Looking at the buildings that were getting bigger and bigger, Xier shouted in fear.

"Hey, hey, no way, you're not going to fall directly into the fire!"

When Xier thought about her current fair and clean appearance, which had turned into a coal ball after being baptized by smoke and fire, she trembled, because her clothes had just been washed.

"boom!"

Just when Xier was still thinking about some strange things, a tower-like building suddenly exploded. The roof with a clock on it was blown into the sky by the strong wind of the explosion, and our Miss Xier happened to block its flight path.

'boom! '

The tower built with white stones hit Xier directly, and the powerful impact force directly embedded Xier on it.

"Oh this... hurts!"

When Xier came to her senses, she found that she had crashed directly into a broken tower and was in excruciating pain all over her body.

"Crack, crack"

Pulling herself out with great difficulty, Xier grinned and kept breathing in, trying to ease the protest from her whole body. Even though her physical fitness was excellent, she couldn't do this.

"Really? Who on earth dares to throw something from a high altitude?"

After finally putting herself down, Xier stood on the broken pieces and cursed.

"Roar!!"

What responded to her was a sound of breaking air from behind her.

"Ok?"

Xier sensed the attack from behind, and a huge bloody claw appeared on her right hand to block the attack from behind her, and then she grabbed the weapon that attacked her with one hand.

"I told you to sneak attack! Die!"

Her eyes instantly turned red, and Xier pulled the weapon with one hand and threw the person behind her over her shoulder, smashing the other person's head directly into the ground.

"Hmm, this is? An angel?"

Looking at the bloody white thing that was smashed by her over her shoulder, Xier discovered that it was actually an angel?

But before Xier could think about why the angels appeared here, more angels appeared in front of Xier accompanied by bursts of hymns, and then attacked Xier without saying a word.

"Fuck! I was thrown into this shabby place, and I still have to endure your bullying? Die!!!"

Xier, who was attacked, naturally would not tolerate them. Both of her hands simultaneously materialized huge bloody claws, clasped her hands together above her head, and then slammed towards the ground in front of her.

"Try this and see what the love of a Titan father is like! Turn it into pieces for me!!"

'boom! '

The moment the giant claw hit the ground, a powerful shock wave directly knocked all the angels around it into the air, and then blood-colored energy burst out directly from the ground, directly penetrating all the angels, and then nailing their bodies nearby.

"Huh, that's it?"

Xier looked at the angel nailed to the wall and spat with disdain, the red in her eyes becoming deeper.

"Beautiful, but not elegant enough." A strange voice sounded in Xier's ears.

'Bo~'

Xier seemed to hear the sound of a clock ticking around her, and then the surrounding space turned dark purple, and everything around her slowed down.

(This familiar way... Bayonetta?)

This way of slowing down the flow of time was not the first time Xier had seen it, or rather, she had seen it many times. This was a talent unique to witches - witch time, which could use one's own magic power to influence the surrounding time to achieve the effect of slowing down the flow of time.

Xier slowly turned around and looked at the person who was approaching her using witch time.

But when she turned around, she was stunned. She had actually seen the owner of the strange voice before. It was the witch who had tried to sneak attack Xier before.

"You still dare to appear in front of me?"

Xier looked at the guy with a strange expression. How dare he appear in front of her again? If it weren't for that demon last time, she would have died more than once.

"Eh? I think this is the first time we meet? An unknown member of the same tribe?"

However, when Xier said this, the other party looked puzzled, as if he had never seen Xier before.

"Huh? What did you say... It was obviously not right before... Wait... You..."

Xier was about to retort, but when she looked at the other person carefully, she suddenly found something wrong. Compared with the one she had seen before, she was too young at this moment.

Not only did he no longer have the heavy feeling he had before, his aura was also more than a level lower. More importantly, this guy was actually holding a flintlock rifle in his hand?

"Hey, what's that look on your face?"

Seeing Xier looking at him with such a strange look, he naturally said unhappily: "Don't be in a daze, come with me, we still have to rescue Lady Rosa!"

"Lady Rosa! Let's go!"

Xier said this subconsciously, and then she stood there in a daze.

"!!!!!!"

(What’s going on!!)

Xier felt that something was wrong with her now. What was going on? Why did she subconsciously answer that person's question? And who was Rosa? Why did Xier feel inexplicably heartbroken when she thought of this name?

Something was wrong. It was so wrong. Why didn't the other party recognize me... And there was this kind of battle between witches and angels...

Xier had some clues in her mind, but she was not sure yet. However, in order to confirm her guess, Xier decided to follow her. And for some reason, she had an inexplicable sense of trust in that woman, and she seemed to want to follow that person very much. Gently holding her chest, Xier suppressed the strange emotions that surged up from the depths of her heart, and then regained her composure.

Xier took a deep breath, kicked off the debris with her feet, and jumped further downwards.

"I want to see what that guy is doing!"

Chapter 24: War

This is Vigrid, the place where witches have lived for thousands of years, but now this only pure land of witches has been invaded by war. The sound of gunfire and shouting of killing is endless, and blood and corpses are scattered all over this land.

"Uh~"

Enduring the discomfort in her heart, Xier followed the white-haired witch towards the place where the Saint Rosa was.

After going through this journey, Xier finally understood what a brutal and chaotic war was. The sky was covered with thick smoke, the ground was stained with bright red blood, corpses and body parts were everywhere, and people who had died or were dying could be seen everywhere.

Not only that, in order to defeat the long-standing enemy, both the witch and the Luminous Sage took out their best weapons to fight. It can be said that both tribes put all their strength into the war. Human life is just a number in this war, and no one knows how many people have paid for this war.

Passing by a huge piece of rubble again, Xier forced herself to look elsewhere. If not, she might not be able to hold back her inner throbbing.

Just now, she saw with her own eyes that several witches were crushed into pieces by the flints spewed by the angels. Even though Xier had experienced many worlds, she had never seen such a tragic battle.

To be honest, Xier was very glad that there was the cruel part of her character. If it weren't for this part helping her maintain her spirit, Xier would probably have vomited out of disgust by now.

"Let's go...we have something important to do..."

The white-haired witch was also moving forward while suppressing the sadness in her heart. Although she still looked as carefree and casual as she did at the beginning, Xier could see that her heart was bleeding. Even Xier, an outsider, felt sad when she saw this scene. So, as a relative of the deceased, how would she feel...

"OK……"

Xier closed her eyes and took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, her pupils had completely turned red. She was surrounded by a thin layer of black mist, and her eyes showed a captivating cold gaze. To be honest, Xier had never immersed herself in Hei Xi's power so wholeheartedly. She always believed that her power was composed of two parts, and she should not deliberately lean towards one part, so Xier always balanced her power.

But this time was different. Xier knew that if she didn't use Hei Xi's power to protect herself, she might not be able to help them. But this time, Xier couldn't act based on her emotions, because all this was in the past and had already happened.

As early as when she saw the battle between the witch and the sage, Seele knew where she was now. This was the location of the final battle mentioned by Bayonetta, five hundred years ago. This also means that every move Seele makes may change the present.

(What was the point of that person sending me here? What did she need me to do?)

After calming down, Xier began to think about the meaning of her coming here. Since everything had already happened, what was her purpose in coming here? What did she need to change?

Or maybe her coming here is itself a part of history...

There was no more time left for Xier to think, as the white-haired witch had already brought Xier to the tall building.

The battles here are purer and more direct than before. Without guns and magic, the best way to fight in this complex of buildings is hand-to-hand combat, and it is therefore even more brutal.

"Ah!"

In the small square in the center, a woman dressed in black with long chains on her hands was fighting a group of monsters called angels.

"Lady Rosa!"

The White-haired Witch called out the person's name. It was the witch named Rosa that she had dragged Xier to find.

"Joan of Arc?"

The woman in black heard the voice of the White-haired Witch and asked softly. This was the first time that Xier knew the name of the White-haired Witch around her.

After killing the last angel with one shot, Rosa slowly turned around and walked towards Xier.

But when Xier saw Rosa's face, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Although Rosa had a black veil on her face and the dim light blocked most of her face, Xier could still see her appearance through the thick cover.

She looked exactly like Bayonetta, even down to the mole on the corner of Bayonetta's mouth. The moment Seele saw her, Bayonetta almost couldn't help but utter a few words. If there was a difference, it was that this Rosa had a sense of maturity that Bayonetta didn't have and a sense of tenderness in her eyes.

Bayonetta's eyes are filled with curiosity about the world, just like her unruly style of doing things. Everything she does is out of her own interest. She is like a bird that travels freely around the world.

But this Rosa is different. Although she looks exactly like Bayonetta, the word "charm" will not make people think of her because this woman exudes a gentle and strong feeling from head to toe.

"Joan? What are you doing here? Aren't you helping the elders defend the tower?"

The moment Rosa saw Joan of Arc, she felt that something was wrong.

"Lady Rosa, the tower has been lost and the enemy has broken through our barrier." Joan of Arc said seriously.

"Sure enough..." Rosa shook her head in distress. She knew that the other party's purpose was not to maintain a long-lasting grudge.

"What should we do, Lady Rosa?" Joan of Arc asked anxiously. Her anxious look did not at all show the coldness that she would have in the future.

"I'm going to the ritual hall to protect the gemstone. You go find Theresa first. We got separated before, and I'm a little worried about her."

Rosa raised her two guns and kept shooting down the little angels flying towards them.

"By the way, who is this?" Rosa turned her head to look at Xier, who was surrounded by black mist. She had never seen such a witch in her memory.

"She is……"

"My name is Xi'er Fuleai."

Without waiting for Jeanne to speak, Seele introduced herself directly.

"Fleia? I've never heard of this last name before..."

Rosa thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of any witches with this surname.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, is it? Let me pave a way for Lady Rosa."

Xi'er materialized a sickle and slashed at the angels that kept approaching. After clearing out a small number of angels, more and more angels continued to gather here, trying to wipe out Xi'er and the other two here.

Raising the sickle high, Xier used the power of the Law of Death to wrap around the sickle, and then swung it gently.

A huge black blade flew out from the sickle and directly shattered the approaching angel. In an instant, all the angels within a hundred meters were wiped out.

"Amazing!"

Joan of Arc didn't expect that the fellow tribesman she casually pulled over was so powerful. Even if she summoned a demon, it probably wouldn't be able to reach this level, right?

"Well, please set off now, Lady Rosa."

Xier bowed gently, as if inviting the hostess to the banquet hall.

"Haha, thank you very much."

After being stunned for a moment, Rosa responded with a chuckle, looked at the road that had been opened, bent forward, turned into a black cheetah, and ran away quickly.

"Let's go. Don't we still have to welcome Theresa?"

Waving it in front of the dazed Joan of Arc, Xier began to remind Joan of Arc who was standing there stupidly.

"Ah...ok...follow me!"

Joan of Arc finally calmed down and walked in one direction.
