Chapter 1573: Chapter 39: Witch of Light

The golden sun flame swept towards him, and Su Xiao darted to hide behind a wall.

The flame hit the wall, which melted like a candle. Noticing this, Su Xiao quickly rushed to the second floor.

With a leap, Su Xiao jumped into the second floor, while the golden flame behind him slowly dissipated.

Inside the second floor, seeing the golden flame, Kai trembled with rage.

"Morisa, you heartless beast!"

With a roar, Kai scattered various metallic needles around, each metal in her hands bearing a different attribute—some with high temperature, others with toxins.

A Mu was forced to step back a few steps, while Su Xiao sliced the incoming metal needles with a few cuts.

The teeth in Kai’s mouth turned metallic, becoming sharp fangs.

Crunch, crunch...

Kai bit off her own left arm and threw the severed limb towards the entrance of the third floor.

"Bitch, take it back."

Leaving those words, dozens of metal needles flew out from Kai’s sleeve again. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the metal needles shooting around, she quickly dashed to the entrance of the second floor and hurried downstairs.

Did Kai escape? Not really. She was disheartened by Witch Queen Morisa and severed ties with the Westport Witch faction after returning a limb to her.

It’s undeniable that the young Kai carried a certain bravado. Meilodi had once done her a favor, and so she protected Meilodi’s life in Morisa’s hands. As for the debts to Westport and Morisa, she had guarded here for long enough; nobody could say anything against that. Kai could have left earlier, but she chose not to since it went against her sense of justice.

Clearly, Witch Queen Morisa did something quite ungrateful, and that’s why Kai left in anger, even going so far as to bite off her own arm.

"Thank you for coming to save me."

Meilodi’s voice came through. She had not thought she could still be alive, having believed she was doomed.

Su Xiao cut the shackles on Meilodi’s hands and took out a bottle of "Honor Vitality Potion (Third Tier)" and drank it. This potion could quickly restore 100% of Life Value and Mana Value, a near revival on the spot.

"Explain the current situation in the fastest words possible."

"Uh, okay. Witch Queen Morisa used her subordinates’ lives to buy time and activated the Sun Conversion Crystal. She came to the second floor earlier and, unfortunately, saw you cut down three fourth-stage Black Witches with three strikes. After that, she said something to Kai and went upstairs again. By then, Kai had already guessed, but due to her nature of repaying favors, Morisa exploited her character flaw.

Unfortunately, Morisa did not show up until more than 99% of the witches were dead, which broke Kai’s heart. Morisa had once shielded her from the Witch Hunter’s arrow, saving her left arm, and now she was giving that left arm back to Morisa."

After catching her breath, Meilodi continued, "By the way, as your collaborator, I didn’t betray you. Falling into Morisa’s hands meant certain death, so I took a chance. Besides, given Kai’s personality, if I had betrayed you, she would have killed me without hesitation afterward."

From Meilodi’s brief narration, Su Xiao understood the situation on the upper floor of the castle.

"Let’s escape quickly. Morisa, who activated the Sun Conversion Crystal, is nearly invincible."

"I see."

Su Xiao flexed his joints and walked towards the third floor, followed closely by A Mu, Bubu Wang, and the Hunter.

"No way~"

Meilodi moaned; she knew Su Xiao was going to face off against Morisa.

If Su Xiao escaped from Westport now, the witches he killed before would only yield Holy Healing Church reputation. The cost of Undead Summoning Certificate, potions, ammunition, etc., would be a massive loss, nearly a million Paradise coins.

Either he risks his life with Morisa or suffers a million Paradise coins loss. Between the two, Su Xiao, of course, chose the former. His strength today came not from talent or luck but because he dared to fight to the death with his enemies.

Su Xiao dared to advance, and Bubu Wang and A Mu would never retreat either. The group quickly rushed to the third floor.

The third floor had just been scorched by the sun flame, leaving it almost devoid of air. Flames flickered at the window cracks, a combustion reaction from oxygen intake.

Su Xiao held his breath; using an oxygen tank now would be like placing a bomb in front of him.

Tap, tap, tap...

Footsteps came from above, belonging to a woman dressed in a golden robe with flowing golden hair, like a blazing flame.

"Witch Hunter, I should thank you."

Witch Queen Morisa descended gracefully from the stairs, wielding a long gold energy sword, surrounded by five golden light balls.

The gold energy longsword in Morisa’s hand was at least 1.3 meters in length and resembled a stabbing sword, with the blade near the handle being wider.

Oxygen rapidly rushed in through the window gaps, quickly reducing the temperature on the third floor significantly. Except for the outer wall, everything inside the third floor had been incinerated.

The Eye of the Apostle floated beside Su Xiao, scanning Morisa’s attributes.

[Comparing both parties’ Intelligence Attributes... comparison complete. Our Intelligence Attribute is 0.96 times that of the enemy, acquiring 71.3% of enemy data.]

...

After reviewing Morisa’s attributes, Su Xiao’s cheek twitched. From his expression, it was clear how much pressure Morisa was putting on him. Or rather, Morisa was no longer a witch in the traditional sense; she ascended to a higher-level life form.
