Chapter 1575: Chapter 41: Blinded by the Strongest

Boom, boom, boom...

Su Xiao continuously slashed through three Halos, the recoil causing large cracks to appear on the ground beneath his feet, and his right arm holding the knife felt slightly numb. If this continued, he would surely lose. Moris only needed a few points of Mana Value to regenerate a Halo, or rather, the Halo couldn’t be destroyed. The energy required to generate the Halo was significant, but remolding it only required a few points of Mana Value.

Worse still, the Halo was just one of Moris’s many abilities. She had three to four other stronger abilities yet to be used.

The blade cut through the air and finally struck a Halo. This Halo didn’t shatter into Light Elements like the previous ones but exploded directly.

Fragments of the Halo flew in all directions, with two grazing Su Xiao’s neck and ribs, leaving two deep wounds.

Pulling out a Halo fragment embedded in his shoulder, Su Xiao knew he had been tricked by Moris. Looking at her again, only 29 Halos remained around her, and the shattered Halo did not regroup.

In Su Xiao’s surprised gaze, Moris wielded her Energy Longsword and charged at an incredible speed.

Bubu Wang blended into the environment nearby, bewildered, unable to comprehend why Moris was actively rushing towards Su Xiao.

Bubu Wang didn’t understand, and Su Xiao was somewhat surprised too. Moris was clearly a mid-range attack type with close combat as a secondary, yet she actively charged forward.

Moris hadn’t lost her Reason; she had just mastered this form and wanted to advance from an ordinary witch to this form. The unknown artifact within the four layers alone couldn’t achieve this. She also needed a large concentration of elements, plus Life Energy from the same Source, that is, a witch’s Life Energy, to withstand the high temperature of Sun Flame, thereby permanently gaining this form.

The elemental witches who previously fought with Su Xiao had helped Moris complete the element gathering, providing Life Energy, or rather, it was Moris deliberately ignoring and letting them die for her to gain this form.

As for how to reorganize forces after defeating Su Xiao, Moris wasn’t worried. With her current strength, the Witch’s Country in the Southern part would provide her with combat effectiveness support, allowing her to gain a batch of stronger subordinates. That’s the witches’ world, where the strong gain everything.

Moris had just achieved this nearly Perfect form, joy in her heart was beyond words. In her perception, she was now definitely one of the three strongest witches on the Dark Raven Continent.

Having just become one of the three strongest witches, Moris encountered a Waterloo in her first battle, and the expected one-sided slaughter did not occur. Although she held a significant advantage, it did not achieve the expected results.

Moreover, Moris had only just gained her current abilities; her mid-range combat methods were already well mastered, and it was time to test her close combat ability. It should be known that Moris was originally a close combat expert among witches.

Moris was using Su Xiao as a touchstone, a stepping stone on her journey forward. Now, Moris believed she was the protagonist of the Dark Raven Continent, not an unheard-of Witch Hunter, even if the latter had the terrifying record of slaying over a hundred witches, it only fueled Moris’s displeasure at not crushing the enemy in combat effectiveness.

Moris wore a gentle smile, usually the kind only people very confident in themselves would have.

The distance between them rapidly closed, and when only five meters remained, the 29 Halos around Moris rushed towards Su Xiao.

Halos attacked from four directions: front, back, left, right, and even several came from above.

The Counter Shield manifested around Su Xiao, dozens of Counter Shields spread outward, colliding with the incoming Halos.

Boom!

Dust flew, and although dozens of Counter Shields shattered, the Halos didn’t fare much better, most shattered while the intact ones were deflected.

Moris suddenly accelerated, a golden afterimage flashed, and she appeared before Su Xiao, the golden Energy Longsword of one meter and thirty centimeters slashing downward.

Ding!

Sparks flew, Su Xiao blocked Moris’s sword. Considering Moris’s explosive overall Body Attribute, one can imagine the power of this strike. However, with Strength, Agility, and Body Attribute all reaching 99 points, Su Xiao was not intimidated by Moris’s strike.

The Longsword and blade were pressed together, Moris held the sword with both hands while Su Xiao was accustomed to holding the knife single-handedly. His left hand generally wasn’t used for holding the knife, but for using Long Range weapons or directly grabbing the enemy.

Moris exerted force with her hands, the excitement of close combat with the enemy causing her lips to curl upward.

As Moris tried to press down with the Longsword, she noticed surprisingly little resistance, looking closely, Su Xiao had let go of the Long Knife.

Su Xiao’s release of the knife surprised Moris greatly. Her thought was that this guy only knows brute force fighting. If she guessed right, he intended to abandon the knife and pounce at her to fight Unarmed.

Appearing to release the Long Knife, Su Xiao did not release his little finger.

The Energy Longsword broke through Dragon Slash’s block, slashing towards Su Xiao’s head. Su Xiao, as if having a premonition, tilted his head in advance.

The Energy Longsword slashed over Su Xiao’s head, severing a few strands of black hair. Under Moris’s peculiar gaze, Dragon Slash’s hilt spun in Su Xiao’s hand and was seized again.

Snap!

Su Xiao gripped Dragon Slash tightly, bowing, and raising his right leg, the Spirit of Wood quickly clinging to his calf.

With a roar, Su Xiao kicked straight into Moris’s abdomen, causing Moris to spit out sour water with a "wah." Just as her body was about to be driven back by the force in her abdomen, Su Xiao swung a knife towards her throat.

Moris glanced sideways at the blade of Dragon Slash, judging by the angle of the cleave, the knife wouldn’t reach her.

At this moment, a black and white figure appeared behind Moris, Bubu Wang’s two back legs stepped on Moris’s back, propelling Bubu into the air, and it took the opportunity to heal Su Xiao.

Golden hair flying, Moris’s head tilted forward by a few centimeters, Dragon Slash grazed her neck.

A cold sensation spread through Moris’s throat, and intense pain came from the place on her abdomen that had been kicked straight.

Boom!

Moris crashed into a distant wall, splattering a large area with blood.

In about five seconds of close combat, Moris was stupefied. Half-crouching on the ground, her eyes wide open, she spat out blood and made a silent decision - she could no longer engage in close combat; the difference in judgment, experience, and timing during close combat was not at the same level.

A sharp wind sound approached, Moris didn’t even need to look up to know that this terrifyingly abnormal close combat capable enemy was here, she tightened her grip on the Longsword.

With a crack, a light sphere beside Moris burst, there were five in total.

Strong light expanded from Moris as the center point, this was her exclusive ability, one of her Big Moves, Blazing Sun. It consumed 20% of her Mana Value, attacking indiscriminately within a 100-meter radius, attack intensity based on distance. Each use of this ability consumed one Light Glow (five in total).
