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

Page 180

Gu Qingci didn't say much. She shrugged and casually waved her hand, causing yellow sand and a strong wind to rise up in the dueling arena.

Jiang Kehan ​​stood in front of the dueling arena, took another deep breath, took out her life emblem and threw it into the air, then closed her eyes.

Formal competitions are not like school team selections, where players enter the field first and then move around randomly; that wouldn't be considered rigorous.

Instead, only after throwing up their life emblem to prove their determination to fight to the end are they qualified to be randomly teleported to the dueling arena.

So, are you prepared to be killed? Su Ying... Jiang Kehan ​​felt the fluctuations in space and suddenly opened her eyes amidst the swirling yellow sand!

Chapter 257 The Long Mark of Day and Night

Using the yellow sand as cover, Jiang Kehan ​​unfolded the floating cannons hidden on her clothes, which served as small pearls, before carefully using her magic to explore her surroundings.

After all, whenever you use magic to detect an enemy, don't doubt it, she has already noticed you as well.

"Is this the Death Sands? These sands can actually stealthily devour life force."

Jiang Kehan ​​frowned slightly as she looked around at the golden sand around her, her expression becoming more serious.

Unlike magic, even though Jiang Kehan ​​is worshipped by the Mu Puppet Clan, her life force is not significantly different from Su Ying's.

This means she must deal with Su Ying quickly to avoid any accidents.

"Audmiao, how are you feeling?" Jiang Kehan ​​asked the three little cat balls in the team channel. After all, this was their first time fighting in the arena, and she was a little worried.

After signing the contract, she had the three catballs mark their respective floating mechs with teleportation markers so they could be summoned at any time.

"Meow! It's about the same as usual!"

"Moreover, this yellow sand won't block the cats' vision; they can point out the situation for you."

Oddcat spoke smugly, seemingly showing off its role, while the other two catballs nodded in agreement.

"That's good." Jiang Kehan ​​breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Meow Ball didn't mess things up, she had already won half the battle.

After confirming the basic information, she used the Origin Spell "Day and Night Long Trace," which was specially prepared for the duel.

As the magic surged, a shadow appeared behind Jiang Kehan, gently embraced her, pressed its face against hers, and breathed cool air into her.

The shadow had a face similar to Jiang Kehan's, but its body was more slender, just like how Jiang Kehan ​​had imagined herself growing taller.

However, Jiang Kehan ​​only felt a slight chill on one side of her face, which made her shiver slightly, and she looked around suspiciously.

"Od Meow, did you see something strange? I feel a little cold."

"Meow haha..." Ode Meow laughed. Jiang Kehan ​​obviously couldn't see the emerging shadow, but as a "high-dimensional" creature, it could see it clearly.

It could even see the threatening look in the shadowy eyes.

"I didn't see anything, it's probably a derivative effect of Origin magic. You know, Origin magic has always been weird."

After struggling internally for a few seconds, Odysseus chose to follow his heart.

The shadow is still Kehan; it's not that it's cowardly, it's just that it's obedient!

Origin Cat, who was responsible for assisting in casting the spell, was stiff all over, clearly having been "walking" for a while.

Kehan ​​is actually terrifying... Origin Cat almost shed tears. As an auxiliary spellcaster, it understands this spell better than Odd Cat.

In simple terms, this spell awakens the dormant self within, allowing the recipient to memorize the spell before releasing it in one last breath.

Clearly, since the gentle Kehan ​​of ordinary days belongs to the daytime, then the shadowy Kehan ​​naturally represents the darker side, symbolizing the night.

However, there is a problem: the Day and Night Long Mark cannot be considered a spell like creating a clone, but rather a special spell involving space and time.

Jiang Kehan's inability to see the shadows is also related to this. After all, if she could truly awaken another self, in a witch who values ​​her true self, such a split personality would almost mean that she was not far from self-destruction.

The true principle behind this spell is to use the omnipotence of magic to communicate with a "self" in a past lifeline that no longer exists, allowing the other person to remember the spell for you.

In other words, the shadowy Kehan ​​is an extension of Jiang Kehan's potential, but their actual personalities are completely different.

"Really?" Jiang Kehan ​​looked doubtful, but since she hadn't detected anything unusual, she decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

We're in the middle of a duel, not the time to dwell on this.

Hmm~

A soft melody seemed to begin, and a smile appeared on the lips of the shadowy figure Kehan ​​before disappearing from the sight of the three little kittens, allowing them to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines as they thought: If anyone makes Kehan ​​angry in the future, they'll beat them up! Kehan's shadow is too terrifying; we absolutely cannot let Jiang Kehan ​​have the chance to become like that!

Gu Qingci, who had been captured by the witch's organization and brought here to explain, frowned.

She looked at Jiang Kehan's location, wondering with some confusion: Did something special appear there just now?

However, because Ke Han deliberately avoided Gu Qingci and didn't even glance at him, Gu Qingci was only somewhat puzzled.

"I haven't eaten any mushrooms lately, so why do I keep having this feeling?" she muttered, then her expression turned serious as she explained the situation in the dueling arena to the audience.

"We can now see that Jiang Kehan ​​has begun to prepare her enhanced spells and is starting to gain the upper hand."

"Meanwhile, Su Ying began a heretical ritual, seemingly planning something big."

On the other side of the yellow sand, Jiang Kehan ​​was buffing herself, planning to find Su Ying and finish her off quickly.

A few drops of blood gradually dripped from Su Ying's arm, seeping into the yellow sand on the ground and turning into blood-red crystals.

"Cultural Scripture: A Traveler in Suffering".

Su Ying whispered, and the huge, mysterious circular pattern carved in blood on the ground turned into ashes, which gathered on her body to form a tattered robe.

After she put on the robe, her eyes began to look strange, filled with only grayish-white marks, marks of suffering.

"Jiang Kehan, I can see you now, but can you see me?" Su Ying chuckled softly and walked slowly toward Jiang Kehan, whose location was marked by the traces of suffering.

Gu Qingci raised an eyebrow and explained with a smile.

"It seems that Su Ying is better at utilizing the environment. The ritual of the Suffering Passerby not only allows her to ignore the yellow sand and seize vitality, but also helps her find Jiang Kehan."

"But what is she trying to do? This spell isn't harmful, is it?"

Gu Qingci found it rather amusing, even though she had already seen through Su Ying's purpose. However, as a commentator, she simply used a question to attract the audience's attention.

"Currently, Su Ying, wearing a long robe, has walked towards Jiang Kehan, while Jiang Kehan ​​remains in place."

"The two players have completely different playing styles, but that doesn't mean the outcome will come sooner than we expect."

Meanwhile, Li Hui, who was watching from the sidelines, narrowed her eyes, pressed down on the somewhat worried Ai Li'er, and slowly said.

"I believe Kehan ​​can handle it; the situation is not bad."

Ariel clutched her chest and said with a wry smile, "The spells we know are too varied. Compared to Su Ying, who focuses on learning spells related to duels, we are naturally at a disadvantage."

"Now time is even more kind to Su Ying."

Chapter 258 The Suffering Traveler

The yellow sand gently pattered against the surrounding floating cannons, producing a slightly muffled rustling sound, like the sound of prisoners dragging their chains.

Jiang Kehan ​​felt the "power" surging within her body and asked the spirit cat.

"Is there anything going on around here?"

"Meow, there are no meows for now, but it seems a bit too quiet."

Jiang Kehan ​​had a bad feeling. She cautiously used her magic to carefully explore her surroundings again, confirming that Su Ying was not nearby.

This did not reassure her; instead, it made her even more uneasy.

Jiang Kehan ​​had already cast all the enhancement spells of the Su Zhu school that she knew, but she still didn't get a sneak attack from the other party, and the other party even disappeared.

This is not normal.

This process of constantly adding buffs was actually a flaw that Jiang Kehan ​​deliberately created to lure the other party out, and she was also prepared to be ambushed.

Although Jiang Kehan ​​was inevitably at a temporary disadvantage after being ambushed, her immense magical power was no joke.

As long as she can force Su Ying to confront her head-on, she can turn the tide of any disadvantages and even take down her opponent in one fell swoop.

Su Ying had no reason not to seize this weakness, as her own strength was far inferior to Jiang Kehan's.

If Jiang Kehan, a turret witch, were to gain enhanced mobility, she would no longer be just a turret, but a world-destroying Gundam.

But Su Ying is still nowhere to be found, which is causing Jiang Kehan ​​some worry.

She had already sent Origin Cat and Odd Cat to find Su Ying's location, but it was obvious that Su Ying was deliberately avoiding her.

"What methods do you have that you think will give you an absolute advantage during this time?"

Jiang Kehan ​​looked at the relentless sandstorm before her and murmured something.

She had learned that Su Ying's so-called "poison" required close-range casting. In the current situation, Su Ying had almost given up her greatest advantage and was playing hide-and-seek with Jiang Kehan.

But Su Ying couldn't hide forever. Both sides knew perfectly well that the duel arena at the Little Witch level wasn't as exaggerated as it seemed.

Jiang Kehan ​​estimated that Odd Cat and Origin Cat would be able to catch Su Ying in about 5 more minutes.

"I hope you won't disappoint me." She chuckled softly. After experiencing so much, she was no longer the person who doubted her own abilities.

Now, Jiang Kehan ​​dared to speak up confidently: "Su Ying, you are the challenger!"

Clearly, Su Ying, who had been secretly watching Jiang Kehan ​​for some time, knew she couldn't hide for much longer, so she launched her first offensive.

"Kehan, something bad has happened!" Origin Cat and Ode Cat's warnings reached Jiang Kehan ​​almost simultaneously.

"A lot of insects are flying towards you!" They rushed towards Jiang Kehan ​​with a serious expression.

"I can see it now." Jiang Kehan ​​took a deep breath as she watched the increasing number of black dots mixed in with the yellow sandstorm.

"So you're finally not hiding anymore, Su Ying? Let me see what you're up to!"

Jiang Kehan ​​could see everything clearly under the witch's powerful eyesight.

These black dots are tiny insects, no bigger than grains of rice. They have no eyes, no horns, only a large mouth that takes up their entire head and wings, like messengers from hell.

Jiang Kehan ​​stared in disbelief at the scene before her. In just two short breaths, the original yellow sandstorm had been completely dyed black.

The wind has stopped...

Instead, a deafening roar filled the air, brought about by the rapid flapping of the insects' wings, like endless explosions on a battlefield.

"Is that all?" Jiang Kehan ​​spread her arms and floated into the air.

She looked at Su Ying, who emerged from the swarm of insects, with a hint of disappointment, then clenched her fists.

The already arrived Odysseus led its floating cannon array into flight, creating a dazzling display of light.

Although the scene looked impressive, it couldn't shake Jiang Kehan's winning formula.
