“Even without using her domain, she easily repelled an A-rank witch? Or did she hide her domain?” An Li kept speculating internally.
If it was the former, Su Xiaocheng’s research value would be enormous. What kind of magic property could allow a B-rank magical girl to counter an A-rank witch? If it could be replicated, the Security Council would gain another powerful tool against witches.
Unaware of An Li’s burning gaze, Su Xiaocheng focused all her attention on the Flower Witch in front of her.
The purifying power that the [Purification Seed] had accumulated over many years had mostly been used by Su Xiaocheng to “fish for grapefruits.” Although she had been working hard to replenish it recently, external power was ultimately not as convenient as her own domain. Su Xiaocheng knew clearly that her magic power was still inferior to that of an A-rank.
At this moment, she could only hope that the purification property would produce miraculous effects.
Around the Flower Witch, cherry-pink magic power formed a cage, trapping her inside and restricting her dodging space.
Several Magic Beams followed closely behind, shooting toward the Flower Witch from tricky angles.
The seven-colored flower on the Flower Witch’s head bloomed with rainbow light as she used her specialty Deprivation Magic to counter Su Xiaocheng’s attacks.
The moment the rainbow magic power touched the cherry-pink magic, it rapidly disintegrated. The Magic Beams easily pierced through the rainbow light that had several times more magic power than them. Seeing this, the Flower Witch shifted her body sideways in an attempt to dodge.
To her surprise, the cage around her suddenly contracted. With this dodge, her entire body slammed directly into the cage.
Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle~
Like fatty pork crackling on a grill, the Flower Witch’s body that touched the cage burst into flames.
The remaining Magic Beams struck the Flower Witch accurately. The purifying magic turned into cherry-pink flames that engulfed her entire body.
The Flower Witch wailed in agony, expending her magic power recklessly in an attempt to extinguish the purifying flames.
“The magic consumption ratio is close to five to one, huh?” Su Xiaocheng herself was shocked by the effectiveness of her attack.
Pressing her advantage, Su Xiaocheng continued her assault. The magic cage contracted completely until it clung tightly to the Flower Witch’s body, transforming into magic chains that bound her firmly.
“This binding method is really unscientific…” An Li, who was watching, shook her head. If it were her doing the binding, she could think of at least eight better methods.
No one cared about An Li’s opinion—especially not the bound Flower Witch herself.
The violent look in the Flower Witch’s eyes faded somewhat, and much of her former sanity returned. She now clearly understood that she was in serious trouble.
The seven-colored petals on her head wilted and fell one by one. In a short time, she expended nearly half of her total magic power. Finally, using her absolute advantage in magic quantity, the Flower Witch completely consumed the cherry-pink purifying magic.
Seeing that Su Xiaocheng’s next Magic Beam was already on the way, the Flower Witch refused to clash head-on again no matter what.
Her body transformed into a dim seven-colored streak of light as the Flower Witch chose to flee. She abandoned any thought of An Li or the [Purification Seed].
“She’s running just like that?” Su Xiaocheng stopped her movements, surprised by how decisive the other party was.
The Flower Witch flew back to the surface, her aura weakened, and returned into Jealousy’s magic mirror.
Jealousy frowned. Something unexpected seemed to have happened underground. In her perception, no A-rank domain had been deployed below, so why had the Flower Witch returned heavily injured?
“The situation isn’t right. We’re withdrawing,” Jealousy called out to Wrath. Before she even finished speaking, she had already flown over a hundred meters away.
Boom!
Wrath, who couldn’t dodge in time and took the full explosive damage of a meteor, watched as Lu Shiyuan’s spiritual outfit changed again, refilling her stellar path to nine meteors. She felt like she had been set up.
Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Yinxi hadn’t come to help yet, Wrath quickly followed Jealousy and withdrew from the battlefield.
“Trying to run? Did you ask me first?” In the rainy night, a brilliant sun seemed to rise, illuminating the pitch-black darkness.
“What?” Wrath, who was slightly slower, turned back in panic.
Li Yanyan’s right fist was wrapped in scorching flames—her domain compressed to the extreme.
[Innate Domain: Blazing Sun]. The flames burned as hot as the sun itself, scorching all enemies within the domain.
But now, the entire domain had been compressed into Li Yanyan’s hand.
Wrath threw a desperate punch, as if striking directly into the flames.
Boom!
The extremely compressed Blazing Sun erupted instantly. Wrath’s black robe turned to ash as her entire body was sent flying backward.
“The next punch will finish you,” Li Yanyan said as Blazing Sun energy gathered in her hand once more. It streaked across the night sky like a trail of fire, instantly evaporating the surrounding rain.
Jealousy sped up without looking back. “This aura… there’s an S-rank magical girl too?”
Wrath lay on the ground in tattered clothes, watching helplessly as the crimson streak of light approached. She felt as if she had lost all her strength and options.
If that punch landed, Wrath felt she would probably die on the spot. Although she still had some magic power left, it would only mean one more punch or one less from Li Yanyan.
Wrath closed her eyes, unwilling to look directly at the increasingly bright, dazzling sun growing larger before her.
“That won’t do at all~” A seductive voice echoed through the rain curtain.
A small leather whip flicked lightly toward Li Yanyan. Upon contact, the [Blazing Sun] in Li Yanyan’s hand cooled rapidly.
Sensing something wrong, Li Yanyan retreated explosively and looked at the figure that had appeared in front of Wrath at some point.
Lust was not wearing the black robe of a Witch Deacon. She stretched lazily, her alluring figure forming an S-curve.
“She’s still useful, so this one will be taking her back now~”
Li Yanyan’s expression turned serious. She couldn’t see through Lust’s strength, but simply letting the other party take someone away was not her style.
Just as she was about to use her [Miracle] and go all out, Lust’s expression changed. She looked up toward the night sky.
In her perception, a gaze had precisely locked onto her from high above the dome of the sky.
“No time to play with you anymore. See you next time.” Lust grabbed the fallen Wrath, and her figure vanished instantly.
Li Yanyan loosened her clenched fist. She hadn’t even sensed how Lust had disappeared.
“Good thing. If we had actually fought, I wouldn’t have been able to beat her,” Li Yanyan said somewhat helplessly. She had only advanced recently and had merely reached the level of basic mastery over her [Miracle].
She glanced at the sky in confusion. The rain was still falling. In the dark, overcast sky, not even a single star could be seen.
“Strange. What exactly did she see that made her leave in such a hurry?” Li Yanyan wondered.
……
Several kilometers away, Lust threw Wrath onto the ground with a look of disgust.
Wrath, whose clothes barely covered her body, rolled in a puddle and became covered in mud.
Jealousy flew over hurriedly. Ignoring the rainwater on the ground, she knelt on one knee. “Lord Lust, the mission has failed.”
“Although you two really are useless, this time it wasn’t entirely your fault. This one has a new task for you.” At this point, Lust was no longer in the mood to pursue the matter further.
“To the west of Rain Curtain City, there is a dangerous area. Go there and do the following…”
