Chapter 296 A Little Something About Witches
Baddieness turned to Goodness, “sister, have you noticed? Something is very wrong with this domain. It’s almost as if,” she said, taking a closer look at the slaughtered men.
“It’s dying?” Goodness added.
Baddieness nodded.
“But that can’t be possible! After all, Ciri is an elder witch, is she not?”
“Honestly, I really don’t know. I have only ever heard the rumors. However, I doubt she would lie about something so important. Besides, to create a domain of this size, one would truly be in need of very vast negative magic. Only at least the rank of an elder Witch has such capabilities.”
Even though she talked in this manner, she couldn’t help but look at the handy work of their massacre.
She could see the negative magic in the air as it slowly Healed the men, regardless of how dead they were.
Seeing this, she was sure that an elder Witch had created this place.
However, created did not mean running the place.
Besides, they had been killing for a while now.
It was already bad enough that Ciri had not kept up any defense against witches, but she had also not shown up when they entered her territory, and even now, while they were causing death and chaos, she had not so much as raised a hand against them.
There was indeed something out of place.
“I think we should call Sister Minnie and tell her about our findings.” Baddieness suggested.
Goodness immediately ran up to her and said, “Wait, don’t tell her!”
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it! Sister Minnie is a senior-ranked witch at level 2. If we tell her that we committed a slaughter in another Witch’s territory, she will get angry at us and punish us. But if we catch Lenny Tales first, we could always…” She rubbed her fingers against Baddieness’s hard shell.
“Sister Goodness! Are you suggesting that we have him for ourselves!?” Baddieness asked with an interrogative look.
“Well, I’m only saying that we could maybe help ourselves to his fingers or at least an arm.” Goodness coiled her long hair in between her fingers as she intentionally avoided eye contact with Baddieness.
However, Baddieness suddenly changed form again, reverting back to her humanoid form.
Baddieness had a skin as thick as hair and was rough as a rug. She wore a full green gown with black lining, the two colors of their witch coven.
Her clothes covered her from her head to her webbed feet.
Aside from her black, reflecting compound eyes and little strands of hair falling down, nothing about her could be seen.
She suddenly dropped a hand on Goodnesses shoulder, “You know, I was actually thinking about it. But I was not sure you’d be on board with me.”
Goodness turned to her in surprise, “Really?”
“Yes, I mean, I have been thinking about it. Sister Minnie said that if she consumed Lenny Tales, then she could directly become an elder Witch. She is only a Senior witch, but she already bosses us around like this. What do you think will happen when she becomes an Elder Witch? We might as well become her servants then.”
Goodness frowned, “Yeah! You are right. I thought one of the aims of being part of a coven was to grow together, but she only wants the good stuff for herself.”
Baddieness also nodded, “But if we get to Lenny Tales first, we can consume a bit of him before we hand over the rest. We could just say he tried to escape and maybe lost his limbs.”
As she talked, Goodness eyes became brighter.
She could not help but imagine it. If they fed on Lenny’s limbs, they could at least instantly become senior Witches. At least that way, they could get a bit of respect from the other sisters, and while Minnie could still boss them around, they too would be able to boss the other Witches around.
These thoughts seduced both Baddieness and Goodness, and both ladies could not help but giggle at the thought of them.
For a slight second there, they even imagined what it would be like to consume all of him.
If they ate him completely, they might not make it to the Elder Witch rank like Minnie, but they would at least not be so far from it.
Just like demons, Witches were also ranked.
However, there was more of a demarcation into levels. .
When a witch starts out, she starts as an acolyte.
This journey could take as much as 5 to 10 years.
After all, one had to gather the necessary magic power to advance.
The next stage was becoming a Junior witch.
This stage was also known as the first division.
It was divided into six levels of power, each one more difficult to ascend than the one behind it.
After junior witch, there was Senior witch, and then Elder Witch. All of which had six levels.
The Elder Witch had a level of strength like no other.
It was also the peak stage of power in this world.
It was akin to becoming a Great Demon.
At least, that was its rumored equivalent.
Witches did not possess incredible strength or their own Incredible bloodlines; what little ability they had, they got from other creatures.
However, because of their human origins, they managed to have Incredible negative Magic.
It is said that every witch is like a tiny bomb waiting to go off.
In fact, their skin gave out incredible amounts of radiation to their surroundings.
Only by special methods was this cupped and controlled.
It was for this reason that most Witches had their domains and also stuck together in covens bound by blood.
Because of the incredible power a witch carries in her body, her death could cause a wide range of explosions.
In fact, the death of a Junior witch could almost compete with a missile.
However, Just before a witch dies, the beings she had a contract with from the Nether realm will come for their body parts.
Essentially, pulling the witch into the Nether and ripping her to shreds…
