As a large amount of dark purple magic surged from Emilia's body, her eyes gradually regained their clarity.
Seeing Wood with a full head of silver hair in front of her, Emilia felt guilty. She wanted to say something, but Wood violently threw her aside.
Echidna and Puck, who had been prepared outside, rushed forward to catch Emilia when they saw her flying out of the magical storm formed by Wood and the Witch of Envy.
“Parker, we need to help Wood. He’s no match for the Witch of Envy by himself.”
Emilia, who had just been thrown out of the center of the magic storm, was caught by Puck and the others, and she was anxious to go back and help.
However, before she could do anything, her pretty face was slapped and even swelled up.
The one who made the move was none other than Echidna, the Witch of Greed, and this witch, who was not usually easily angered, clearly had a very unpleasant expression on her face at this moment.
"He went to so much trouble to rescue you, and you still want to go back and die for nothing!"
"That level of battle is beyond the capabilities of you small fry, even I couldn't get involved. Even if you went, you wouldn't be helping, you'd just be a hindrance!"
If it were anyone else who slapped Emilia, Puck, who treats Emilia like a daughter, and Subaru, who regards her as a goddess, would have already taken action. But if the target is the Witch of Greed, the two of them are obviously cowardly at this moment and dare not even speak.
The former is the nominal "mother," whose very existence was created by her, while the latter was completely overwhelmed by the powerful aura of the Witch of Greed.
"Actually, perhaps you could try my power. Although I can't explain my abilities to you, if I commit suicide or you kill me, maybe that can solve the problem..."
The power of "Return by Death" cannot be explained to others, so this is all Natsuki Subaru could say at this moment.
To be honest, even with such an immortal ability, Subaru Natsuki doesn't like using it, since being able to live doesn't mean he likes to die.
However, through Parker's account, he also learned what Wood had done for them, so Natsuki Subaru believed that dying a few times was not a problem if it was to save his friends.
Unfortunately, just as Subaru Natsuki was about to take his own life, Echidna stopped him and said with a mocking expression, "Your so-called power is nothing more than the power called 'Return by Death'."
But do you know who gave you this power?
That's right, it's not the god you're imagining, but the jealous witch Satella right in front of you.
So now you still believe that using this power would have an effect on the Witch of Envy?
Subaru Natsuki was completely dumbfounded when he heard what Echidna said! Because Echidna was the first person to know about his abilities and be able to tell him about them, something that even Wood couldn't do.
However, this suggests that what Echidna said might be true, and that her "Return by Death" power was granted by the Witch of Envy.
Using the power given to you by others to fight against others is either a sign of being out of your mind; anyone who knows it will never work.
"No matter what, we have to save Wood. He's my knight, and he's saved me so many times. I can't just watch him carry all that burden... I can't do that."
Emilia had only had her body possessed before, not that she had truly lost her memory. She now remembered everything that had happened before, including the time when her magic went berserk during her childhood.
In Emilia's view, although she was not the Witch of Envy, she was still a calamity, bringing only disaster to those around her, and she was not worth saving at all!
"Snapped------!"
Another loud slap echoed in the air. Needless to say, it was Echidna, the Witch of Greed, who had struck again.
"He's your knight? She's my soul contractor. Compared to our relationship, how can the mere relationship between a knight and a priestess compare to ours?"
I've always disliked you, but since it's his order, there's nothing I can do!
As soon as Echidna finished speaking, she knocked Emilia out with a single chop to the neck, without bothering to say anything more. She then tossed the unconscious Emilia to Subaru and the other person, and began preparing a teleportation spell.
The air is now filled with the powerful magic of Wood and the Witch of Jealousy, making it no easy task to find a stable spatial node in this environment.
"Are we really just going to abandon Wood and run away like this?" Natsuki Subaru looked at the unconscious Emilia, and then at the two-colored magical vortex storm in the sky. He felt that this was not in line with his persona as a transmigrator.
According to typical novel scripts, as a chosen one from another world, he should be the one to step up and save the world in this situation.
"This is Wood's own decision. If you want to stay and die with him, I naturally won't stop you."
After all, he's Emilia's knight, not yours. Saving you this time seems to have been just a side effect.
After much trouble, Echidna finally opened the 'gate' amidst the magical turbulence and urged Puck and the others to hurry up.
For Parker, his daughter Emilia was everything. Although he felt sorry for Wood, he didn't hesitate much at this moment because Emilia could live.
As for Subaru Natsuki, after looking at the magical vortex in the sky and realizing that he was indeed powerless, he finally gritted his teeth and stepped into the portal.
Echidna was the last to enter the portal, and before leaving, she gave a long, lingering look at the enormous vortex of magic in the sky.
"I hope that, as you say, what you call death is not real death."
"If the contract partner dies right after we complete it, those guys will probably laugh at me for being the unlucky one."
Not long after Echidna and the others left, the Witch of Envy, whose personality was that of the Witch of Envy, once again took over the dominant position in the magical vortex.
The Witch of Jealousy was furious at Satella's personality for letting Emilia go without permission, and at Wood for taking advantage of her. So she planned to devour Wood first, and then use Wood's power to devour Satella's personality as well.
"Since you enjoy devouring so much, then I'll give you everything. I hope you can successfully consume it."
Pseudo-god level ice magic - Absolute Freeze!
Previously, when Wood fought against the Dragon God in the "Mushoku Tensei" world, he barely reached the "pseudo-sword god" level in swordsmanship through the power of the "Heart of God".
Wood, too, is now using the power of the "Heart of God" without regard for the consequences, pushing his ice magic to the level of a "false god".
A terrifying chill swept around, and the silver light emanating from the runes on Wood's chest was dazzling. A thick layer of frost began to appear on his skin and gradually spread outwards.
Seemingly sensing the danger emanating from Wood's chill, the Witch of Jealousy also began to feel intense unease.
As the frost gradually spread from Wood's body towards her, the Witch of Jealousy wanted to escape, but Wood held her tightly in his arms.
In terms of physical strength alone, the Witch of Jealousy was no match for Wood. However, when the Witch of Jealousy tried to use her own power to devour the ice on her body, she unexpectedly discovered that the ice could not be devoured at all!
"Don't waste your time. These ice crystals are different from the previous ones. Even if you are jealous of the witch's power, you will not be able to devour them."
Absolute Freeze is the strongest ice magic I can currently use, but the price for using this magic is my own life.
The ice covering you is formed from my life and body. Even a sword saint who can cut through everything would only be able to look at it with envy.
Normally I wouldn't use this magic because of the cost, but because I overused the power of the 'Heart of God,' I wouldn't have survived anyway, so it's not a complete loss now.
Since I cannot kill you, then I will freeze you here with this land forever!
As Wood finished speaking, his body began to turn into ice, gradually freezing the Witch of Envy's body.
Despite sensing that things were going terribly wrong, the Witch of Jealousy was completely helpless at the moment, because her devouring power, just as Wood had said, had no effect on the ice. She could only watch helplessly as her body was gradually eroded and frozen by the ice.
As Wood, now an ice sculpture, gradually crumbled before her, the Witch of Jealousy remembered the man's name for the second time in her life.
The first person was her beloved Subaru Natsuki, and the second person was the man in front of her who gave his life and even sealed her with his flesh and blood, Wood Hoshin!
The dark purple magic that enveloped the world began to be replaced by an icy blue color. A terrifying cold wave, centered on Wood and the Witch of Envy, instantly froze almost the entire area within a radius of ten thousand miles.
At absolute low temperatures, all plants and animals within a radius of thousands of miles were completely frozen at this moment, as if they had been frozen in time forever.
Located at the very center of this icy plain, a giant ice lotus blooms in the middle, and through the crystal-clear ice, it is not hard to see that there is also a beautiful figure frozen in time inside.
And the other party was none other than the infamous Jealous Witch Satella, also known as the Witch of Calamity!
The figure of the Witch of Envy could be clearly seen through the ice, yet her appearance remained shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to discern her features...
The news of the witch of jealousy's resurrection had only been circulating for half a day, and many kingdoms hadn't even had time to react before they heard that the witch of calamity had been sealed away again!
Chapter 387 The Darkened Sister Returns
After all, she was a terrifying being who once devoured half the world. The title of "Calamity Witch" was not only known in the Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica, but was a nightmare for the entire world.
Compared to the "Three Heroes" who sealed the Witch of Envy more than four hundred years ago, everyone was taken aback when they heard that there was only one person who could seal her this time, and that his name was Wood Hossin.
The reason is simple: the name Wood Hessin is completely unfamiliar to the people of this world.
Wood has only recently begun to make a name for himself. Before, Wood Hessin was incredibly low-key and could not compare to the fame of the Sword Saint Reinhard.
At first, many people even thought that the resurrection of the Witch of Envy and the new hero Wood Hossin were all nonsense and that it was just a malicious rumor spread by someone with ulterior motives.
But when these people arrived at the original Elf Forest and saw the vast ice plains and the enormous ice lotus blooming on them, they fell silent instantly.
Because of such terrifying magic, they truly could not imagine that any magician in the world could accomplish this. Moreover, the beautiful figure standing in the ice lotus, even though she was frozen, still exuded a chilling aura. It was obvious that she couldn't possibly be a fake.
Of course, not everyone can behold the figure of the Witch of Envy. The vast icy plains are formed from Wood's magic and life force, and ordinary people will feel the biting cold wind after traveling only a few miles.
Even a strong person with considerable strength can only travel a hundred or so miles towards the central area.
Only the truly powerful, and those who have mastered "fire attribute" magic to a certain degree, can truly stand before the Ice Lotus.
"Can such ice really keep the Witch of Envy frozen indefinitely?"
Reinhard stared at the enormous ice lotus blooming before him, still unable to believe that Wood, whom he had always considered his strongest rival, would end his life in this way.
"These ice crystals are formed from Wood's life and body; you can think of them as Wood himself."
The ice, imbued with magical power, can remain unmelted for millennia; even forbidden spells might not be able to damage it in the slightest.
The one who spoke was Echidna, the Witch of Greed. She had now been successfully exonerated and reached out to stroke the leaves of the ice lotus before explaining to everyone.
"Using his life and body to turn into ice and seal everything away? Damn it, that guy was showing off until the very moment he died!"
Natsuki Subaru slammed his fist into the ice, clearly showing that he was in a terrible mood.
Both are deaths, but Wood's death was clearly more stylish and more spectacular than his...
After the Witch of Jealousy was frozen in ice, Wood Hossin's name resounded throughout the entire continent, and he became a new hero after the "Three Heroes," known as the "Frozen Knight."
Even the ice and lotus flowers it represents have been adopted as the emblems of knightly orders in many kingdoms and regarded as the highest honor for knights.
The royal selection ceremony of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugnica has ended. Among the five Dragon Priestesses, the winner was not Crusch, the seeded candidate, but Emilia, who was not favored by everyone from the beginning.
The reason is quite simple: Emilia and the Witch of Envy appeared at the same time, which means that Emilia is Emilia and the Witch of Envy is the Witch of Envy.
