The Witch's Imaginary Land: Redemption Comes After Sticking Together

Page 331

Jiang Kehan ​​carefully observed the Sun Never Sets Witch's usual fighting style and fell into thought.

Unlike the witch duel, the duel arena here is only a circular area with a radius of ten meters, which is not suitable for casting large-scale spells at all.

Small, instant-cast spells have an advantage.

Moreover, their almost face-to-face positioning meant that the intensity of the battle would not be low, and it would be difficult to salvage the situation by pulling and sparring.

On the other hand, before witches achieve their ultimate goal, their magical damage far exceeds their physical strength, so both sides in a duel must be more careful, as a slight mistake can easily lead to a counterattack and death.

This was unexpected good news for Jiang Kehan.

According to Angela Terry, the Taboo Faction is not good at such subtle control at all; unbridled destruction is its only synonym.

Therefore, Mudra Kane's main attack methods have been pulled into an acceptable range, only slightly stronger than a normal half-step end.

As for cult factions?

Well, the heretical faction's favorite tactic is to use endless back-and-forth to drag their enemies into the abyss, thereby achieving victory. In noble duels, their role is even less significant than that of the forbidden faction.

Mudra Kane is like dancing in shackles, but Jiang Kehan ​​will only be more cautious.

This information was clearly beyond what Angelette could analyze, but the fact that no other half-step-to-the-end witch attempted to challenge her speaks volumes.

"Kehan, what do you think constitutes a massacre?" Angelette asked, taking a sip of her drink.

“Mass killing?” Jiang Kehan ​​replied.

After Angela nodded slightly, she suddenly became serious. She looked directly at Jiang Kehan ​​and spoke as if issuing a warning.

"This is only one aspect. If it were just the soldiers fighting, it wouldn't be considered a massacre."

"Only when fully armed soldiers point their guns at defenseless civilians does it mean that a massacre is imminent."

"Putting aside everything else, Mudra Kane is absolutely a master at crushing weaker opponents, and he can even be compared to some of the greats of Fran."

The greatness of Fran consists of the first seat, Shining Lilith; the eleventh seat, Eva Carson; and the twelfth seat, Dragon Queen.

They all have one thing in common: they can't beat witches ranked above them and suffer a crushing defeat, but when they encounter witches ranked below them...

This is a classic example of dominating weaker opponents; the title of "great goalkeeper" is not just a figure of speech.

Of course, this only applies to one-on-one situations. Although Eva and Dragon Queen seem to be genetically restrained in the Greatness, they are either rubbing against each other or on their way to being rubbed against.

But they stick together!

Fran's team fights are unmatched, but as for why they have to engage in a righteous 2v1, don't ask!

If Eva and the Dragon Queen work together, they can hold off any witch below Angeli, and there is even a considerable chance of achieving a partial victory.

"Mudra Kane is one of the few witches who excels in pure hand-to-hand combat. She is proficient in all kinds of weapons and can always bring immense pressure to witches who are slightly weaker than her."

Angela explained.

"Although you can't avoid being blasted to death by a single shot when facing a witch stronger than yourself, I think you're actually not good at close combat, Kehan."

Jiang Kehan ​​nodded. She wasn't bad at close combat, but she was barely usable.

With the help of witch magic, she had the confidence to challenge beings at the half-step end, relying entirely on the foundation built up by hundreds of great witches, without a trace of combat talent.

"Therefore, I'd better finish this quickly and take Mudra Kane away with a sudden burst of speed."

"Otherwise, the longer we drag it out, the worse we'll lose."

Jiang Kehan ​​judged that her own level was still only at the second stage of the Great Witch, and she had never shown her true combat power in the public eye.

Therefore, even if Mudra Kane was serious, he could hardly have predicted that Jiang Kehan ​​would be able to unleash the power of a half-step to the end.

This is Jiang Kehan's unique advantage, and her only advantage.

"That's true in theory, but don't underestimate Mudra Kane's ability to adapt to changing circumstances, Kehan."

Angela admitted that she had some selfish motives. Although she supported Jiang Kehan's challenge to Mudra Kane, she still did not want to see Jiang Kehan ​​being tortured.

So she said, "What you need to do is not to make sure you win, but to show your style."

"Once you catch your opponent off guard, you can choose to concede directly. Even so, it's enough to outshine everyone else."

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at Angela with a smile, puffed out her chest, and spoke with a touch of pride.

“I’m not an idiot, but…”

"I really want to try holding Xiaoye's hand, so I'll give up? Maybe in my next life."

"For duelists, once they step into the dueling arena, there are only two choices: win or die. There is no room for any other thoughts."

After saying that, she stood up and looked at Mudra Kane.

So, naturally, the other person tilted their head slightly and looked at Jiang Kehan ​​with some confusion.

The two black dots exposed on the cold, black iron bird beak mask were instinctively ferocious, like a hideous dragon. Even if it wasn't deliberately displaying ferocity, it was enough to make other beings shrink back in fear.

Jiang Kehan ​​simply looked at her calmly, and slightly drew the staff from her waist. It was a staff that combined the characteristics of a long staff and a spear, and it was taken out of Angelelli's warehouse. It was no ordinary item.

Even if you're fighting someone of a higher level, it will never suddenly break.

"Tear!"

The sound of metal rubbing against fabric was like the best challenge, instantly attracting the attention of all the witches present. They were either puzzled or scrutinizing, but all remained silent in tacit agreement.

He simply stared at a great witch who overestimated her abilities and challenged Mudra Kane.

These seemingly harmless glances, and the doubt in the other person's eyes, were sharper than any questioning, causing Jiang Kehan ​​to involuntarily let out a long breath to relieve her inner pressure.

Perhaps, in the eyes of these witches, Jiang Kehan ​​is like a bewitching rose; although she looks good, that's all she is.

But no one expected that, in the stillness, the delicate rose would resolutely pull out its thorns to serve as a spear against the enormous dragon.

Thus, it roared, forcing the evil dragon to bow its head and gaze.

Chapter 488 The Voice of Death

"You... want to challenge me?" A slightly hoarse voice, like two pieces of iron rubbing together, came from beneath Mudra Kane's mask.

She even scratched her head, her long, black hair swaying slightly, clearly showing her genuine confusion.

In response, Jiang Kehan ​​simply nodded and spoke with a hint of emphasis.

“I, Jiang Kehan, hereby challenge Ms. Mudra Kane as Angela’s agent.”

Angela let out a soft hum at the opportune moment, and looked directly at the other witches who had cast their gazes at her after hearing Jiang Kehan's words.

They still couldn't fathom the great man's thoughts, but gazing into his eyes, they saw the smugness, and... the boastfulness?

Hmm, why is there a hint of ostentation? Could it be that this witch named Jiang Kehan ​​is something special?

As they pondered, the words they had intended to use to persuade Jiang Kehan ​​to give up gradually disappeared, replaced by a somewhat deep scrutiny.

However, apart from the fact that the other person was indeed quite good-looking, they couldn't see anything else.

The only thing that was affirmed was Jiang Kehan's realm—undoubtedly, this somewhat delicate and young witch had only recently entered the second stage of the Great Witch realm.

Let alone facing Mudra Kane head-on, even if they encountered the weakest half-step End Witch, they would hardly make a ripple.

As for whether Jiang Kehan ​​will be given a higher regard because she is Angelite's administrative officer?

Yes, but not many.

Angela Terry spent over two generations creating this mess, successfully gaining immense pleasure and excitement while simultaneously destroying her own "reputation."

She's not always reliable, especially when it comes to her new creations; she can easily transform from a witch into a pitiful dog.

In short, they have no moral bottom line and should not be trusted.

The most classic example is that Angeli once introduced a low-level spell that allowed little witches to travel between universes through a cosmic bubble.

At first, almost all the witches were amazed, thinking that this was another spell that could change the course of an era, both convenient and powerful.

From a practical standpoint, this spell is enough to allow the little witch to escape the pursuit of creatures below level 8, greatly increasing their chances of survival after they do something reckless.

However, this spell was eventually abandoned, and even if it were given to a witch for free, she wouldn't want it.

What Angelette failed to test was that, although this spell could pass through the cosmic bubble after activation, it would inevitably get stuck in the wall upon landing.

It's the kind where half the body is in front and half the body is behind.

For Angela, this was no problem at all; she could easily escape.

But for the little witches who were the main users of this spell, it was like escaping from the tiger's den only to fall into the wolf's lair.

Because the spell of this trench will automatically stabilize the surrounding space and matter after passing through it, ensuring that the caster will not be accidentally swept away by the disturbed space.

Moreover, its sturdiness is excellent; even the little witch couldn't destroy it for several hours!

Thus, it is obvious that the business started off well but quickly became flooded with negative reviews.

Fortunately, the Witch Organization immediately organized a test after Angeli revealed the spell model, which prevented a series of tragic events from happening.

It is embarrassing.

Therefore, the other witches watched in silence as Jiang Kehan ​​stepped onto the narrow dueling platform alone and placed her life emblem.

Jiang Kehan ​​stood ramrod straight. Taking advantage of the higher position of the dueling platform, she calmly looked down at Mudra Kane, smiling without saying a word.

His white robes fluttered without wind, and his elegant demeanor stood out even more vividly against the contrast of the other's black robes and cold mask.

Therefore, there was no turning back.

After a brief moment of surprise, Mudra Kane raised her head with delight. She drew a huge scythe and swung it around casually, while her other hand continued to rummage for something.

An invisible dagger, a pitch-black short sword, and even a skull-opening axe, some of which looked rather ferocious and terrifying, seemed to be covered in something, all talking incessantly.

She was walking towards Jiang Kehan, her steps quickening, causing a slight tremor in the ground.

The butcher was fully prepared with professional ethics, giving Jiang Kehan ​​no chance to take advantage of the situation.

Jiang Kehan ​​looked somewhat solemn. She raised her gun and saw Mudra Kane standing exactly ten paces away from her.

"Start?" The other person's somewhat hoarse voice sounded again, but this time, Jiang Kehan ​​heard it more clearly.

When Mudra Kane spoke, it was as if there were a cacophony of crows mocking him, yet it carried a detached and indifferent air, like death itself, lofty and unapproachable.

"Phew, let's begin."

Before the words had even finished, Jiang Kehan ​​acted decisively. She looked at Mudra Kane, who was holding a long scythe high, and resolutely retreated.

The murderous intent vanished in an instant.

Mudra Kane put away his long scythe, which had been left in an empty swing due to Jiang Kehan's retreat, with a slight regret, and shrugged slightly.
