“Huh? Surrounded? Stop acting. Sir Alpha can sense every single fluctuation of the Force of Nature — ” Before the martial artists could finish, a flying box hit him right in the nose. He was thrown into the air and flew backwards, and he stopped dead.
Another traitor gaped at the witches who came out all of a sudden from all directions. Some came down from the sky and some from underneath, but most of them just came out of nowhere, as though they had been waiting for them for quite a long time.
This did not make any sense. Those women were no more than 10 meters from him. Even if they did not possess the Force of Nature, he should have heard their breath and footsteps!
Why did the scout not alarm him beforehand?
But he had no time to think it over.
Instantly, the two parties started to fight.
The quiet port was stirred.
Ling was hiding in the shadow. Light and shadow always came hand in hand. Although the dump site was lit by the street lights, the shadow cast by the boxes created a perfect hiding spot for her.
She had nailed her target already. Those Fallen Evils at the highpoint, which cast a long shadow on the ground and were fused with the darkness, gave her a perfect opportunity to launch an attack. If someone took a peek at Ling from behind, he would be totally shocked. Ling’s body had merged into the shadow in the entirety, with only half of her head poking out. Several bubbles escaped from her nostrils silently.
Ling liked submerging into shadows. It was a warmer and more comfortable sensation than bathing in a hot spring. She had thought that she would never be able to have this pleasure again after turning into a God’s Punishment Witch, until Phyllis had informed her of this incredible world a year ago.
It was a world of wonder that could bring her back to the past.
Ling had fallen in love with this world the first time she had visited it.
King Roland had transformed from a mortal with a strong personality into the Chosen One, whose authority could not be challenged, despite that he could not activate the instrument. Ling, Pasha and Celine always nagged Roland to take them to the Dream World. Ling had also persuaded Roland to pick her as the guardian of the three witches who were sent to school.
Ling knew that she had demons to kill, but it did not hurt to relax herself every now and then.
Anyone who attempted to cause His Majesty harm or destroy the Dream World was deemed as the mortal enemy of the Taquila witches.
As soon as the command was issued, Ling rose out of the shadow like a ghost and dived a dagger into one Fallen Evil’s chest.
Ordinary weapons could not fatally wound a Fallen Evil. Therefore, she had to also inject magic power into it. Ling could feel the Fallen Evil’s energy become unstable. It seemed that the two powers were interfering with each other. This proved His Majesty’s theory in a way: the Force of Nature and magic power were essentially the same thing. They were both from the “Erosion”.
Ling would only need to take out the corrupted core before the Fallen Evil collapsed into a pulp.
The moment that Fallen Evil fell, Ling flew several meters, passed a few boxes, and landed behind another Fallen Evil.
The fight was fierce below.
Soon, she eradicated all the scouts.
Ling stood on the highest point of the dump site and watched the battle from above. All the witches were as powerful as 400 years ago. In fact, they became even faster after receiving intense training after becoming God’s Punishment Warriors. Nevertheless, Ling was more pleased with the high morale than their progress in fighting skills.
