The witch thought I am a Demon God

Chapter 960: Chapter 493: The Universal Nation-State

The Multiple Shadow Meteor Swarm crashed into the wasteland, and when the dust settled, exclamations from the Frankish soldiers were heard everywhere.

The three Great Witches of the Franks, upon surveying the number of nearby witches, realized something was amiss.

The Thunderous Witch said to the Luva River Witch, who was also hovering in midair, "I have two pieces of news for you, one is good and one is bad. Which do you want to hear first?"

The Luva River Witch was somewhat anxious. "Where is Saint Vestia?"

The Thunderous Witch said, "The good news is that Saint Vestia should have been abducted by Ivita using Border Magic, so he will not be able to attack us with magic for at least the next few days, having used such intense magic twice in a row."

"We don’t have to worry about encountering this kind of terrible thing again. The bad news, however, is that Saint Vestia has been abducted, and the last one among us who understood Fire Magic has vanished."

The Luva River Witch gasped in astonishment.

Border Magic indeed can transcend time and space, it is the result of the Light Soul and Dark Soul fracturing time, but to snatch away a Witch Marquis from such a distance, right before their eyes, was nothing short of horrifying.

The Luva River Witch realized the key point. "This is Alsace; here, he can invoke the Fire Dragon Law."

"The combination of Law and magical power increases his Magical Power by at least double."

"This also means that even we, as enemies within this country, cannot ensure our own safety. Before him, we are just slightly larger insects."

The two Witch Marquises under protection, along with the two Frankish commanders, staring at the scarred salinized land and the chaotic troops, both appeared somewhat stunned.

All this time, they had believed that the Alsasians, because of internal strife, no longer had the Magical Power to counter them.

The sudden strike today had taken both commanders by surprise.

"Quick, organize and gather the troops! Those damned Alsasians must already be on their way. Retreat, we must hasten our retreat!"

Glore had a sudden inspiration. "Considering our current situation, retreating into the uninhabited salinized lands might be a viable strategy. We need to shake off the pursuit of the Alsasians."

...

Meanwhile, Ivita had summoned the Vermilion Bird Magic, the combination of The Fire of Law and Fire Magic manifested as a colossal claw descending from the sky, seizing Saint Vestia, and then travelling through time and space, constantly using the Boundary-breaking Bronze Boat to accelerate, intent on dragging Saint Vestia back.

Saint Vestia was aware of the resistance and used over a dozen sophisticated Fire Magic spells against Ivita in quick succession, but in doing so, only deepened Ivita’s understanding of the Flame Magic of Vesta Holy Land.

In this confrontation, she not only failed to escape but also inadvertently revealed a lot to Ivita.

However, as she was after all a Witch Marquis, she ultimately summoned a purple flame that seemed to be her own creation, not an inheritance from Vesta Holy Land, and gained a slight upper hand over Ivita on one move.

She herself, transformed into a meteor, breaking free from the grip of the Vermilion Bird, falling into a desolate mountain area within Alsace.

At the same time, twelve Vermilion Bird pearls emerged from the body of the Vermilion Bird, trailing Saint Vestia into her Sea of Spirits World, sealing her Light Soul and Dark Soul.

Inside a remote mountain area of Alsace, Saint Vestia meditated in a deep pit for a long while before she finally sat up. "Damned Ivita, his Flame Magic is too powerful. If I hadn’t played him with my ’Hades Fire,’ my trump card, I might have been taken by him."

"To abduct a witch of my rank on the spot during a magical confrontation is terrifying indeed; could it be that he has reached the level of the Witch Queen?"

Saint Vestia gathered her thoughts and instinctively tried to use her Light Soul to repair her injuries, only to discover with horror that she could only access a small portion of her Light Soul for self-healing.

"He has temporarily sealed my Light Soul and Dark Soul. Fortunately, earlier, I combined my Dark Soul with the flame to create a Holy Flame Magic Circle. By severing part of my destiny as I fell, he couldn’t detect my exact location, only knowing that I am within this mountain range. Half of Alsace is mountainous, and the other is fertile plains. As long as I hide in these mountains, even if he were to dig three feet into the ground, he would not find me."

"Hiss~"

Saint Vestia took a few steps and realized her body was gravely injured. Left with no choice, she used a levitation spell to float midair, grateful that Ivita hadn’t managed to seal her Soul Heavenly Palace.

Just then, a sound emerged from the bushes. Saint Vestia turned her head and her intense gaze was enough to scare a bamboo basket-carrying boy to the ground.

Potatoes and sprouted soybeans spilled from the basket.

Saint Vestia wrapped her eyes with cloth, so in fact, she could not see, she only sensed the spirituality of her surroundings.

The mountain village boy pointed at her and said, "Are you... a person or a ghost? How come you’re floating when you walk?"

Saint Vestia was at a loss for words. Thinking about it, it made sense; the mountain village boy had lived in the mountains all his life, his elders probably did too, not much worldly experience, quite naive.

Not having seen many witches was also quite normal.

Saint Vestia spoke, "Are you an Alsasian? I am a nun who has come here unintentionally. I am hungry now, hurry and pick some pine nuts for me."
