Millennium Witch.

Chapter 81 - 81 - Villain
Because the tentacles attacked so stealthily and with such astonishing speed, neither the dazed Dugrabi nor the caught off guard Abella knew what had happened.

When Dugrabi came to his senses, he found that the female demon who had been beating him had suddenly disappeared.

Abella felt as if she had been launched into the air by the Hundred-Ton King. In the midst of the dizzying spin, she crashed through two walls and was then buried beneath the collapsing rubble, steel bars, and rock slabs.

"Who!" Abelah shook off the building debris that was pressing down on her and immediately got up from the ruins, her beautiful face twisted and ferocious with anger.

But soon, she saw a silver-haired girl appear in the spot where she had just been, releasing a vibrant, pale green magic to heal the black dragon.

Abella paused for a moment, then sneered and said, "It's you."

Since it's an old acquaintance, there's nothing to be nervous about. Although that attack was incredibly swift, it was probably just a sneak attack, so there's no need to worry.

Based on her years of experience, she should be able to defeat her opponent within ten minutes in a real fight. Whether she consumes him as nourishment or gives him to Commander Zi to exchange for merit points depends entirely on her mood.

On the desolate street, the cold wind howled like ice blades, blowing the woman's long, black hair and revealing her snow-white neck.

Abella stood rooted to the spot, her crimson eyes fixed on the silver-haired girl's figure, waiting for her response.

Surprisingly, Yvette didn't even glance at her, continuing to treat the black dragon with her head down. Her calm profile was like a finely crafted porcelain doll, pure white and beautiful, without any emotional fluctuations.

...Were you ignored?
Realizing this, Abella felt a surge of anger rising within her.

She was already able to suppress her opponent before her promotion, and now that she has been promoted again and become a true lord, how dare her opponent remain so unmoved?
The thought crossed her mind, and she couldn't contain herself any longer. She transformed into a black shadow and rushed towards the silver-haired girl, while Dugrabi, slightly nervous, weakly said, "Teacher..."

Yvette shook her head, standing still without moving, and the treatment continued. Suddenly, the whites of her eyes turned completely black, and then some of her hair grew out, like long, silvery snakes, sweeping towards Abella.

This was the first time Abella had seen the silver-haired girl use such bizarre methods. Although she seemed even more like a divine being, it also heightened Abella's vigilance.

She stopped immediately, dodged several times to avoid being directly in front of him, and at the same time stretched out her hand, releasing a black tide forward.

She didn't know what element this black magic was, only that it was an ability that naturally unlocked after her third advancement, and that it possessed strong corrosive properties. This black magic could corrode not only the powerful alloys left behind by the Origin Civilization, but also had the same effect on spells such as magic barriers; in her mind, it was practically indestructible.

But soon, something unexpected happened. Faced with the black tide she released, the silver-white hair seemed completely unaffected, passing right through it and rushing straight to her!

what's the situation?
Abella was shocked.

In her mind, it should be just like the countless times the two of them had fought in the past, wave against wave, spell against spell, one side attacking and the other side intercepting, fighting back and forth. That scene would be very exciting, like countless lotus flowers of different colors blooming in the world.

But why do these silver-white hairs not follow the script and seem completely unaffected?
No, it still caused harm... Quickly pulling back, Abella saw and noticed the mist rising from those silver strands of hair.

This proves that the corrosive effect of the black magic still exists, but the silver hairs repair themselves faster, making it less noticeable.

What exactly are these strands of hair?
Unconvinced, Abella tried to stab the shield with her spider-leg spear, but in an instant, the shield made of black magic shattered, and the spider-leg spear was smashed to pieces, causing her to let out a painful and panicked scream.

how so!
Is this her true strength?
I have to escape, I have to escape... I have to go back and report to Commander Zi, and ask him to deal with this guy... Realizing that she was no match for him, Abella floated into the air, trying to fly away. But strangely, no matter how she ran, those strands of hair followed her like a shadow, and she couldn't shake them off at all.

What frightened her even more was that after treating the black dragon, the silver-haired girl finally looked at her!
Then, as the pursuit began, the distance between the two sides rapidly shortened. Countless silver strands of hair, like a meteor shower that arrived first, overtook Abella from behind and wove together a huge, silvery-white net in front of her, reflecting a rainbow of colors.

The next second, the net tightened, and although Abella struggled frantically, she still couldn't escape. She was instantly wrapped up like a dumpling and dragged in front of the silver-haired girl.

"Who...who are you?!" Abella said in a trembling voice, her eyes filled with terror, completely devoid of the beautiful, powerful, and composed demeanor she displayed when she appeared before Dugrabi. She suspected she had encountered a sixth-stage leader, but the question was, if such a powerful figure were truly so important, why would they have the time to play along with a nobody like her for so many years?
Was it really just to toy with her, to give her the illusion that she could win, and then to shatter it cruelly?
That's absolutely outrageous!

Yvette remained silent, watching her intently. Her dark eyes, with their crimson pupils gleaming like a probing gaze from the abyss, were imbued with a chilling evil.

But in fact, it wasn't just a facade of silence. Secretly, she was trying out some novel technique. If all went well, she could drain the mutant factors from the other person's body without harming their life, allowing them to survive in a weakened state.

This way, she wouldn't need to constantly expend aberration magic to maintain the bondage, while still being able to extract the information she needed.

As time ticked by, Abella felt the hair piercing her body stealing away her most precious possessions. Her face grew paler and paler, like a larva struggling desperately to break free of its cocoon.

But it was no use. In just a few minutes, Yvette had almost completely drained the mutated factors from her body—more than 6000 points, which was almost the equivalent of sweeping up the harvest of an Agasha. No wonder she was a lord-level being.

But then she felt a little regretful—in the battle just now, in order to prevent the spider witch from escaping and also to prevent the tentacles from being corroded by black magic, Yvette increased the output of the distorted magic, making the tentacles' regenerative ability reach its limit, so that they could be repaired almost immediately as soon as they were corroded.

She seemed invincible, but her expenses were also off the charts. After deducting losses, she actually only earned around 1500 points. Including the sporadic gains over the years, her total mutated magic power barely reached the 5 mark.

It seems I still have to use mage methods. Hunting high-level aberrations with just Black Eye ability isn't enough to earn me much... she muttered to herself.

A cold wind howled as Yvette landed on the rooftop of a building frozen in frost and snow, releasing her grip on Abella.

"What...what did you do to me..." Having regained control of her body, Abella's legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground, asking in a trembling voice.

After the aberration factor was drained, her appearance remained unchanged, and even the magic core within her body was still there.

However, for the offspring of gods, the role of the aberration factor is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, it is a requirement for advancement, which goes without saying; second, it enhances physical strength and recovery; and third, it unlocks abilities. All strange and bizarre abilities can only be unlocked after the stage and the concentration of aberration factor reach the required level.

So after the aberration factor was drained, Abella was able to maintain her fifth-stage human appearance, but her physical abilities and skill slots were completely cleared.

Her physical body was no longer strong, and even the slightest bump or knock became unbearable. She could no longer summon the spider leg spears on her back, nor could she use her corrosive abilities, flight abilities, acceleration abilities, shield abilities, and so on.

Unless she quickly replenishes her magic core through meditation and becomes an apprentice to learn magic, she currently has no way to use her magic, even if she has it, and is practically just an ordinary human being with no strength to even kill a chicken.

Yvette said calmly, "I took most of the mutation factors from your body."

She kept a portion of it because it was necessary for survival, and that small amount of aberration factor was not even as significant as most first-stage aberration variants, so she didn't care much about it.

Abella stared at her blankly, like a speculator who had lost all his savings overnight, his heart shattered. Then she heard Yvette say, "If you cooperate and answer my questions, I can spare your life."

Abella was immediately furious. She thought to herself, without the evolution factor, how could she possibly survive in this dangerous world? What difference would it make if she were dead? Even if she went to find the Purple Commander, he would probably just use her as nourishment to feed the Mother Nest, right?

No, it probably won't even see Commander Zi before being eaten up by its former subordinates on the way...

But despite her hatred, the instinct for survival brought her back to her senses. Tears welled in her eyes as she said, "Ask away, as long as you let me go, I'll tell you everything..."

Looking at her sorrowful appearance and the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, Yvette suddenly felt that she was more like an evil villain. Not only did she harass her every few days, but she also robbed her of all the wealth she had accumulated over the years, leaving her back to square one overnight.

But for some reason, she quite liked this villainous character setting.
