Witch Redemption

This is their friendship, a friendship that has lasted for twenty-nine years.

Even when facing death together, we must die neatly and clearly.

"Well then, goodbye, Karen, Della, and Lorina."

Lana took the first step forward. Their years of friendship had given them an unspoken understanding, and even at the moment of parting, there was not much sentimentality between them.

Or rather, it's not necessary at all.

We already knew each other's aspirations and beliefs.

"Lana, may you rest in peace. Goodbye, everyone."

Why be sad at the moment of parting?

Trust in close friends, aspirations for the future, and a genuine smile are all the more precious.

Lolina gave Li Lan an extremely charming smile, and then led Li Lan's followers and attendants toward their goal.

Only after turning away did that gentle smile transform into unbearable pain, causing her to clench her teeth tightly as if she were in unbearable agony. Her face, soaked by the torrential rain, made it impossible to distinguish between water and tears.

She didn't make a sound, not even a sob, but simply started walking silently.

Only the blonde Feather and the slime, who realized that Lorina was putting on a brave face, quickly took a step and silently supported her.

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I can't accept your deaths, Karen. I don't know what kind of expression I should wear... I..."

This journey will mark the end of my life, an end where the fires of hatred will be extinguished, leaving me with nothing and nothing behind.

Della also turned around at the same time, facing her target, "Today, I will slaughter my way through the entire British Empire, and, Karen, I may not die before you."

Therefore, there's no need to worry about it.

This is Della's way of comforting people. She is a woman of action and dislikes farewells. She has had enough of them, so even though she knows that this departure is forever, she doesn't want to say any words of parting.

Because we are all here, we are all dying for a common belief, and we are all fighting side by side, just like we were 29 years ago.

However, this time, the way they are fighting side by side is different from that of twenty-nine years ago.

Della also left, and the figures of the three witches disappeared in different directions, melting into the night, as if they had never existed at all.

Alone, Li Lan felt an unbearable pain and loneliness, but she still faced it with strength, saying, "Goodbye, everyone, we'll meet again in the afterlife!"

At that time, Li Lan will introduce them to the countless kind and respectable predecessors, and then they will return together to the most primal nothingness.

That's enough.

Human strength is ultimately limited. No matter how strong a human is, even if they spend their entire life trying, they can hardly surpass the gods of this world and become an existence like the ancient creator.

Li Lan knew the extent to which these witches were capable, so the current outcome was actually the best way for them to end things.

If living in this damn world is a kind of suffering, then stand up and fight back!

Even if they die, their bodies trampled on the ground, their souls ravaged into pieces, and everything they have in this life is lost, they will not compromise. They will use their last strength to unleash the most furious roar against this damned, hopeless world.

They will vent all their hatred and never let themselves have any regrets in their lives.

If you can't live standing up, then die standing up, defend the dignity of this life, and carry out your own will.

As for what the future of this world will be like, to hell with it!

Li Lan began to take his first steps, alone, about to reach the end of his own life.

...... ....... .......

At 3:30 a.m., amidst the relentless wind and rain, Lana finally crossed the long desert and arrived at its end.

That end is right in front of the empire's fifth defensive wall. Once she crosses this point and then four more border walls, Lana will be able to officially invade the territory of the British Empire's capital.

Of course, his arrival seemed to have caught the city's defenders off guard.

Because almost all the powerful figures in the rear had already evacuated, but a large number of civilians had not yet been evacuated, this damned witch actually arrived almost ten minutes earlier than originally planned.

Fortunately, there are quite a few gods gathered on the outskirts of the Fifth Defense Zone, so taking down a mere witch shouldn't be a problem.

Faced with the overwhelming attacks and the divine realm, Lana was in a real bind.

"No wonder Edith and Rosa didn't use any witch powers. What can witch powers possibly achieve with such attacks?"

There are too many!

The despairing reality was right in front of Lana. If it were one-on-one or one-on-ten, that would be fine. But if the opponent was a dragon, and Lana's sacred dragon was still around, then she could easily take on a thousand or ten thousand.

That's right, the other party is the present-day god of the human side.

What's even more terrifying is that the other party also possesses something that instills fear in him.

Sealed artifact!

Among all superpowers, the most mysterious are the various sealed artifacts. Some of these artifacts possess special effects that can even kill any god-level being.

Fortunately, the Ross royal family on the Ross Kingdom side are all "cowards" who prioritize profit above all else, unlike the current god of the empire who dares to risk their lives. Otherwise, the war in the Ross Kingdom a while ago would definitely not have been so easy.

Since these empires' living gods have shown them enough respect, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

Lana didn't even bother to open her natal magic book, and simply hung the Libra Cross Greatsword behind her, resting her raised right hand on her forehead.

"Tsk, he looks just like a terrorist!"

It's not "like," it's "absolutely like"!

"What is art again?"

Lana mimicked the black-haired Yu Hui, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.

Then, all consciousness vanished completely with a surge of intense pain...

The eerie realm of flesh and blood gives one a sense of inexplicable mental pollution.

What was most terrifying to behold, besides the massive number of dying undead creatures, was the enormous number of blood-red humanoid creatures.

The right hand of that creature had been mutated into a fleshy body resembling a Libra cross greatsword. It was obviously extremely sharp. Any undead creature pierced by this greatsword would turn into black smoke and dissipate, then further strengthen the rapidly spreading fleshy domain below.

With her sharpshooter's unique "Extreme Eagle Eye," Della could spot a decaying sphere in the distance. Clearly, from the lingering aura, it was certain that this was an Apostle's magic core, and that this Apostle, who should have been at the pinnacle of power, had already been murdered.

The murderer who killed her was that incredibly tall and bizarre fleshy giant. That giant gave Della a strong sense of death threat, and just seeing him gave her a chilling feeling.

Just how powerful is this guy that makes even a berserker who fears no death instinctively want to retreat?

Della knew she had no chance left, not even a chance to escape.

She stood quietly in place, then pressed the blood-red eye imprint on the back of her right hand against her forehead.

Her only goal at this moment was to remove all obstacles for Karen; whatever happened afterward was no longer important...

The slime and the blonde feathered radiance, along with ten star maids and the thirty thousand powerful humanoid followers, have already infiltrated the death tide, officially breaking through the empire's new defense line. How far they will penetrate in the near future is something Lorina cannot predict.

Because a huge number of living gods appeared before her.

Moreover, according to intelligence relayed by many undead creatures, what awaits Lolina ahead is actually one of the Empire's most important retreat strongholds, so even if these living gods die, they will definitely stop her here.

"Such a large number is indeed something that even my death tide cannot withstand. To be precise, even if I used my power as a witch, I would definitely not be their match."

In other words, it seems that only one path remains for Lolina.

This road is a dead end, signifying that she has reached the end of her life and can no longer walk with Karen, Lana, or Della.

"This ending is fine too."

In the final moments of her life, Lolina found a sense of peace. She gently raised her right hand and placed the back of it against her forehead.

"I've heard countless people say that life is fragile, and death happens in an instant. For me, perhaps..."

After a brief moment of excruciating pain, Lorina's soul and body vanished from the world, leaving behind only a vast, unimaginably expansive, black-gray sandstorm...

Let the world feel pain!

The silent attack left the empire with vast desert regions, and countless lives perished in this sudden war.

Those who died—imperial people, imperial soldiers, imperial witches, imperial gods—did not even know why they died or who had suddenly killed them.

Furthermore, among the living gods of the Empire at this stage, only one, namely the living god Field Edson, knows the true truth.

Those witches did indeed return for revenge, but the price they paid for their revenge was their lives!

Each attack meant the death of a witch. What had they gone through to possess such incomprehensible power?

Most of the witches in the empire have already reached the maximum level of their magic books, so why don't they have that kind of power?

I can't understand it, I absolutely can't understand it.

The modern-day god, Ederson, just felt suffocated.

Of all the countless battle reports that were sent back, there was only one piece of good news: the crisis of the death tide had been resolved. Afterwards, all the gods of the present world paid an extremely heavy price to kill about 30,000 strange humanoid creatures.

Eleven of them were criminals who had been on the record, one was a witch's henchman, Rem, and the other ten were monsters from the Heart series.

Aside from these eleven creatures that were essentially demons, there was another peculiar blonde girl who caused massive casualties to the empire. In the end, it was only thanks to the sacrifice of several gods in the present world, who activated some of the sealing artifacts, that they were able to be completely killed and the last threat eliminated.

Although the empire has destroyed more than half of its territory and lost more than half of its population, such an outcome is barely acceptable.

Just as we were deep in thought, another battle report arrived.

That was the last witch, Karen Elf, once the Empire's most wanted enemy, who appeared in the center of the Imperial Capital.

In that instant, the living god Field Anderson suddenly felt a strange sense of fear.

He knew that this witch possessed the same power as other witches, and rushing over would only be courting death.

He pondered for a moment, realizing that he couldn't send out all his forces, and then suddenly reacted and quickly issued the order.

"Send a hundred of our willing comrades to go, and force him to use similar power to resolve the empire's crisis!"

Such power is simply unsolvable!

The current God of War, Field Anderson, has absolutely no solution, at least not right now.

Chapter 78 The End of Life

The torrential rain relentlessly lashed Li Lan's face, bringing him a bone-chilling cold.

Even though she was already a witch with a maxed-out natal magic book and incredibly strong physical abilities, she still trembled slightly due to this dual physiological and psychological sensation.

"It's so cold!"

Once upon a time, he, traveling alone, had arrived at the edge of this vast black desert.

This area should have been the bustling capital city, Kate City, in Li Lan's memory.
