Chapter 26, Section 27: My sister is so cool! She's wearing black stockings and stepping on me!

"Waaah..."

Novia let out a soft hum and slowly opened her eyes, but what came into view was no longer the holy and peaceful church, but an iron cage that was closed on all sides.

Memories of the time before I fell into a coma flooded my mind.

Damn it...we've fallen for their trap...those three women...

"Oh~ you're awake?" A seductive voice came from behind her. Novia quickly turned around and assumed a defensive posture, looking warily at the strange woman standing behind her.

The woman wore a purple, form-fitting magic robe, revealing her alluring figure. Although her appearance was not as exquisite as Novia's, she was still a stunning beauty.

"The principle witches of the [Witches' Gathering]? What do you want to do?" Novia recognized the symbol on the witch's body and asked in a cold voice.

The witch seemed somewhat surprised that a nun from this unknown little town could recognize the "Witches' Gathering".

It's important to understand that the Witches' Gathering is quite different from the Black Goat Cult of madmen. They possess a higher degree of xenophobia and a stronger sense of collectivism, and in terms of notoriety alone, they are nowhere near as well-known as the Black Goat Cult.

Besides the highest-ranking [Chairperson], the Witches at the Witches' Gathering are four Principle Witches, and I am one of the four Principle Witches, the Space Witch.

The fact that this young nun could recognize his level at a glance clearly showed that she had a deep understanding of the [Witches' Gathering].

And that person's striking fiery red hair...

The raging fire magic within him...

The Space Witch's expression became somewhat meaningful. "I'm just very interested in your identity."

I'm curious to see what kind of lovely child this little nun is who could make those lunatics from the Black Goat Cult look so disheveled.

Unexpectedly, I won the grand prize!

Novia remained silent, but her mind raced.

Fighting the Black Goat Cult? Novia knew perfectly well that she had never done it, nor was she capable of doing it.

Could it be... that they're after Anjie?

Since learning that Ange was Judge Joan's illegitimate daughter, Novia no longer underestimated Ange's strength.

Seeing that Novia remained silent for a long time, the Space Witch thought she had frightened her and couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "Don't be nervous. Originally, I planned to use you as a test subject, but now it seems that it would be a waste to use you for experiments."

Novia took two steps back, staring warily at the witch outside the cage. "What do you mean?"

The witch smiled alluringly, "How much would the new king be willing to pay in exchange for a princess?"

"!!!"

...

"Are we almost there?" Qiong held Anjie as they flew high in the sky, glancing down at Anjie every now and then, and then chuckled softly at the latter's expression as she was being blown about by the strong wind.

“The mark I left on another witch disappeared nearby. The witches’ gathering should be down there,” Ange said quickly.

"it is good."

Joan responded and began to descend slowly.

This is a vast, deep forest, where the lush foliage forms the best barrier against the earth, making it impossible to see anything on the ground from high above.

[You're supposed to be a saintess, yet some of your skills are either physical attacks or stealth tracking... I'm starting to wonder if you're a berserker assassin or a nun.]

Anjie: I actually have my doubts too...

Anjie sighed helplessly at the system's complaints.

At this moment, the two finally landed.

Joan gazed at the dark forest and snorted in dissatisfaction.

A golden spear materialized in his hand, which he then thrust forcefully into the darkness before him.

This shot was like the first ray of dawn piercing the dark sky, and the surrounding darkness receded like the tide.

The surrounding scenery also changed accordingly.

What was once a dense and deep forest has now transformed into a brightly lit complex of towering buildings.

It turns out that everything just now was an illusion created by the witch.

If it weren't for Joan, Ange might have really been fooled.

She blinked and looked ahead.

Several women dressed in purple magic robes stood before the two, looking at them warily. "Who are you?"

Qiong casually tossed the spear aside, and it shattered into golden light in mid-air. "Let the witch of principles here come out and see me."

Just as the leading witch was about to say something, a seductive voice came from the air: "Chief Inquisitor Joan Kazimierz, can I take this as a declaration of war by the Church of Light against us witches by trespassing into our stronghold?"

Ange looked in the direction from which the sound came, but her gaze was fixed on the Space Witch's chest.

Wow...it's so big!!! What's blinding me?!

People always crave what they don't have, host, I pity your pain. But flatness has its advantages, like... you can look down and see if your shoes are dirty.

Anjie: ntm!

Joan sneered, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? You broke into our church and kidnapped our nuns. How dare you turn around and accuse us of such a shameless act?"

The Space Witch narrowed her eyes.

They quickly realized that the incident in the town of Aisa had brought the chief referee here.

I'm very curious as to why this referee is in the town of Aisha.

But now is not the time to think about that.

As expected of one of the four principle witches of the Witch Gathering, the Space Witch quickly regained her composure. "Chief Judge, don't be so irritable~ Let's talk things out. I haven't arrested any nuns from the Church of Light."

Anjie knew that since this was a conversation between the two bigwigs, it was best for her to keep quiet.

Anyway, she has confidence in her own head referee.

At worst, we can just throw out the last two chances of the horn.

Amidst the tense situation between the two sides, Anjie became the most relaxed and carefree person present.

Joan was amused by the Space Witch's words, "Do you think I have a good temper? I'm not like those two old women. I don't like to reason with others, because for me, I am the truth."

A golden holy spear, several meters long, hovered in the air, piercing towards the Space Witch like a cannonball.

The Space Witch's expression was somewhat gloomy, but she still had no choice but to resist Joan's attacks.

Qiong, however, was relentless. A golden longbow materialized in her hand, and her fingertips traced several afterimages on the bowstring as golden arrows rained down like a curtain of rain.

Several unfortunate witches were caught off guard and were pierced through by arrows, letting out a shrill scream.

The Space Witch's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water. "Isn't the Chief Judge going a bit too far?"

Joan continued to sneer, "If you can't beat me, don't talk nonsense. Don't try to scare me with war. Let me tell you, the followers of the Goddess of Light will not fear any evil spirits or heretics."

Space Witch: "Is this the kind of behavior the Chief Judge of the Church of Light is like?!"

Joan: "You disagree? Hit me then!"

Anjie wanted nothing more than to cheer loudly for Qiong.

As expected of the chief judge of the Church of Light, his words are indeed domineering.

[Ahhh! My sister is so cool! Sister, put on your black stockings and step on me!]

Anjie: System, are you infected with a virus? It seems like you have a serious illness.

P.S.: I'm begging for recommendation votes!!!

Recommendation votes, my recommendation votes.jpg

Section 28, Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Forgotten Man

"What? Aren't you going to release them yet?"

Joan sneered, and another holy spear materialized in her palm, its sharp tip pointed directly at the Space Witch's head. "I was only being lenient with your [Chairman] earlier; this time, I won't hold back."

Six golden wings unfurled behind Qiongdi, and a surge of holy light exploded outwards from Qiongdi's center, illuminating the pitch-black night sky as bright as day. "How much of a chance do you think you have to withstand this attack from me?"

The Space Witch's expression grew increasingly grim.

The four principle witches in the witch gathering each have their own strengths, while the space witch is good at drawing magic circles and alchemy, but not good at fighting.

If she were to encounter the most powerful judge in the church, the Chief Justice, it could be said that she had no chance of winning.

If Joan's gun really came at me...

Even if they don't die, they'll still lose a lot of skin.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons, the Space Witch smiled and voluntarily withdrew her magic. "Chief Judge Joan is joking. You are the most powerful believer of the Church of Light. How could I possibly defeat you?"

Joan curled her lip. "Enough with the hypocritical boasting. You should know why we're here. Give your [Chairman] some face, release them, and we'll leave."

The other party's arrogant behavior made the Space Witch grit her teeth inwardly, but she still maintained a fawning and kind smile on her face. "Ah, you mean the child who came to visit our gathering earlier? Oh dear, this is really a misunderstanding. That child got lost and accidentally wandered over here."

As you know, it's common for 'small pets' to be kept near our witch gathering's base. Her abrupt intrusion into our area is quite dangerous.

I meant well, inviting her into our base to rest for a bit. If she wants to leave, we certainly won't stop her.

After saying that, the Space Witch smiled and beckoned to one of the witches beside her. She cleared her throat and instructed in a voice loud enough for Joan to hear, "Go and bring that young lady out. Her child wants to go home."

The witch who had been given the order hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Space Witch, do we really have to release that guy?"

The Space Witch didn't answer, but just patted her shoulder with a smile before urging, "Stop dawdling, hurry up. Don't keep Chief Judge Joan waiting."

Their eyes met for a moment, and the witch, who had been given the order, quickly lowered her head. "Yes."
