The witch thought I am a Demon God
Chapter 748 - 396

Chapter 748: 396

The Hearthstone Witch made a comprehensive round inside the Elephant Divine Weapon and finally found a weak spot at the rear of the weapon. It seemed as though the tail end of the weapon housed some type of mechanical weaponry.

The tail end of the Elephant Divine Weapon had many gaps the size of a standard door. As the Hearthstone Witch attempted to fly into one of these spaces, she found many small mechanical structures, in the form of miniature demon elephants. All of them raised their trunks and launched an attack on the Hearthstone Witch.

A flurry of flames rained down from the noses of the miniature demon elephants towards the Hearthstone Witch.

The vulture that the Hearthstone Witch had transformed into cursed silently. She wondered where the Sven Family found such good luck to obtain such a powerful artifact from their overseas territories.

She tried to use her magical power to bend the laws of physics so the fire could not harm her, but as soon as she entered the body of the Elephant God, she discovered her Law Magic could do none of the sort.

This was because within the Elephant Divine Weapon’s structure, the laws of physics were strict and completely self-contained. This suppressed her Law Magic.

’This is not something that can be crafted by any overseas kingdom. A Witch Marquis must have modified this structure before,’ thought the Hearthstone Witch, realizing she could not proceed.

If she could use her Law Magic to manipulate the effects of the fire, the vulture she had transformed into could be reborn from the flames.

But, how could a mortal body possibly bathe in fire if she did not do so?

Just as the Hearthstone Witch was at a loss about what to do next, a fiery phoenix suddenly appeared from afar, and within a short amount of time, it destroyed all the miniature elephant structures in the tail of the Elephant Divine Weapon.

The Hearthstone Witch burst out in laughter, "Thanks a lot, Your Majesty."

She then plunged right in.

...

Within the Elephant God’s control room, the Elephant God inside the purple crystal ball was enduring pain and considering how to handle the situation.

The Elephant God told Sven: "Master Sven, it will take five minutes to repair the steering mechanism of the Elephant Divine Weapon."

"I suggest you activate all the bullets and attack the enemy. Otherwise, you may confront a life-threatening situation."

Sven Qixiong clenched his fists. He was not a frivolous aristocrat. He had merely let his guard down previously under the assumption of possessing the Elephant Divine Weapon.

Now, facing this pressure, his thinking speed quickened.

The family needed to win over the Lombardy Duchy to strengthen their stance in the Champagne and Brandy Kingdom, maintain independence, and resist the increasingly autocratic king.

All the countries within the Magic Black Forest were headed towards absolute despotism, leaving fewer and fewer living spaces for the aristocrats.

Just like a spring gradually drying up in the desert.

No.

This was absolutely unacceptable.

If they consumed the artillery of the Elephant Divine Weapon now, it would severely affect his plans for the future.

Five minutes?

He had to buy some time until then.

Sven Qixiong spoke to the Elephant God inside the crystal ball: "Cease attack, retreat, and show a sign of concession."

He told his people beside him: "Prepare our alien flora—the Gold Spirit Tree."

"Elephant God, hand this to them and initiate the amplification module. I want to talk with them."

"And as a goodwill gesture in regards to our unprovoked attack on them, the alien flora should serve as an apology."

After thinking it through, Sven Qixiong decided to immediately cut his losses for the sake of survival. He had an intuition that continuing this fight would not end well.

The Elephant God inside the crystal ball was shocked at the introspective Sven Qixiong.

He had initially thought that Sven Qixiong was simply a spoiled brat who would eventually pay for his reckless actions as time passed.

However, it turned out he had underestimated Sven Qixiong.

...

In the desert, Ivita noticed that the Elephant Divine Weapon had willingly ceased its counter-attack, professed its voluntary retreat by tucking away its trunk, and started moving backwards.

He paused. It immediately dawned on him that the opponent had intentions to retreat.

Following that, he saw a mechanical door opened at the abdomen of the Elephant Divine Weapon. Four miniature elephant structures jumped out from this door, carrying a tree that was shimmering with a golden light.

Ivita blinked and then cracked a smile. He also recalled his Thunder Dragon and Fire Phoenix.

If the opponent intended to propose a peaceful negotiation and showed goodwill, he had no desire to quote the battle, considering the scarce resources in the desert and the monsters lurking around.

The opponent’s Elephant Divine Weapon was not something he could seize without paying any price.

Therefore, Ivita initially did not want to bear the brunt of the fight. He only damaged the Elephant Divine Weapon’s leg structure to cover for the Hearthstone Witch’s intrusion to obtain the Three Sisters Grass.

A voice came out from the Elephant Divine Weapon, "I am Sven Qixiong. I should not have launched an attack on you without reason, and I have mistaken your power. But I believe all of us are heading towards the Iron Crown’s location. What advantages can we gain by continuing this fight?"

"This is an alien flora, a part of the resources that my family gave me to win favors from the ruling class of the Lombardy Duchy. Now, I am giving it to you as an apology."

"What do you say? Can we just let bygones be bygones today?"

Ivita thought about it for a while and turned to Knight Robinson and the others.

Knight Robinson urged him, "Sir, I think we can accept. If we continue to fight, both sides will get hurt, and who knows, someone might take advantage of the situation."
