Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

Tiger felt a sudden chill run down his spine. In a moment of surprise, Nolan grabbed his arm and swiftly stabbed at his cheek with his fair right hand.

Caught off guard, the girl's index and middle fingers pierced her eye sockets, causing blood to gush out!

"ah------!"

The tiger-man swung his warhammer, his claws flashing, trying to tear the little girl apart, but his vision was already completely dark.

Nolan's fingers were still deeply embedded in the orc's eyes. With a light and agile movement, he used his knees to flip and leap up, landing on the tiger-man's back.

The girl held a knife in her left hand, its blade gleaming with a mottled aura, and slashed fiercely at the orc's throat, piercing through the earthen-yellow soul defense and ending his agonizing howls.

Boom!

The warhammer hit the ground, and the orc helplessly clutched his neck with both hands. His throat bone was shattered, and crimson blood gushed from his mouth and nose, but he was not yet dead. He let out an unintelligible hiss and knelt on the floor.

There are no doctors or priests here; the only outcome for someone severely injured is to fend for themselves.

Nolan stood on the orc's shoulder, his right hand revealing two bloody eyeballs.

The smile on that cold, beautiful face grew even sweeter, yet it was exceptionally chilling, leaving the other mercenaries stunned and trembling with fear.

I miscalculated; this girl is quite strong.

He subdued a level 5 Soul Warrior in just a few seconds. The whole process was swift and efficient, like an executioner. Even the two level 6 mercenaries were somewhat intimidated, and for a moment no one dared to step forward.

The mercenary group retreated, intimidated by the silver-haired girl's imposing presence. The bartender smiled, looking at Nolan with newfound respect.

Nolan glanced around, his dark red eyes sweeping over every foolish face, without uttering a single word.

She kicked the dying orc to the ground, then slammed her leg down, crushing the tiger's head like a hammer blow, splattering blood and brain matter everywhere.

The violent and bloodthirsty little witch frightened the lawless mercenaries of the original plane, as well as Messiah and Meiruo.

Starry Night Diva looked at the red and white stains on her school skirt, covered her mouth, bent over and gagged twice, thinking to herself that it was good she hadn't eaten breakfast.

Silence meant obedience; no one dared to underestimate the four men or rush forward to their deaths.

Nolan nodded, indicating his satisfaction.

The bartender sighed and skillfully began to scrub the blood off the floor with a brush.

Mei Ruo stuck out her tongue. She was quite familiar with blood and even a little excited. However, she never expected that the seemingly cold and arrogant class monitor was actually a ruthless witch.

106. Snakes and scorpions

The pungent smell of blood lingered in the Red Earth Tavern for a long time.

Messiah didn't want to stay even half a second longer, preferring to return to the valley to pick flowers and leave with Nolan and Meiruo.

Before leaving, Zinora paused, and out of pity, helped up the dazed red-haired woman.

"What's your name? Which dimension are you from?"

Leaving the tavern, the kind-hearted little princess took off her school uniform jacket and draped it over the woman's filthy, battered body.

"Just call me Trant, thank you. I'll leave here right away..."

The red-haired woman forced a smile, laboriously put on her tattered leather armor, and leaned against Chinara, too weak to exert any strength.

"You can't manage alone. You might run into those guys again. You should come with us."

Tran hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Ok."

Messiah frowned but said nothing.

This woman is only a level four soul spirit; it's quite risky for her to come to this no-man's-land alone.

Noland glanced at Tran and then noticed the deserted Kentau branch of the Adventurers' Guild at the end of the street.

They then need to use the Adventurers' Guild's portal to return to the coordinates of the Hall of Chaos in Saint Lenza.

Leaving the town, the four followed the path to the west to find the abandoned farm on the map, which was in the same direction as the fissure pit.

It seems the minister is determined to complete all the tasks entrusted to him.

As the sunlight faded in the plane of Kentau, and dusk approached, the red earth was dyed a deep, blood-red hue by the setting sun.

Nighttime operations would be greatly limited, and Zinora was worried about the poor redhead being alone. After hesitating for a moment, she suggested, "We won't be staying for long either, so why don't we travel together and look out for each other?"

This time, the red-haired woman agreed without hesitation.

Nolan remained noncommittal, only glancing back at the desolate path he had come from, and smiled slightly.

Their thieving intentions remained undiminished; lurking figures in the shadows were still following them...

It's alright, just consider it a lesson for those two silly girls.

It's inevitable that rookie witch idols will have a rough time; it's better to suffer early on than to stumble later. Eventually, they will all return to their own shape, a chaotic shape.

From the inside out...

After making the decision, the four of them dragged their tired steps forward, wanting only to complete the mission as soon as possible and return to school.

Messiah and Zenora limped, greatly slowing their pace.

Wearing school uniforms and leather shoes was clearly not suitable for long journeys, and the soles of his feet were blistered and bleeding, forcing him to stop and rest frequently, wasting his soul energy to cast a continuous recovery spell on himself.

Before even encountering a real enemy, the two pampered young ladies were already exhausted by the barren red soil of Kentau.

Nolan saw this but said nothing, silently estimating the time in his mind.

She wouldn't mind being a mortal nanny, really, as long as she could beat Asteria.

But to become practitioners of chaos, truly worshipped witch idols, they must step out of their ivory tower and learn the real rules of the game in this world.

No one could bear to see the Messiah staring at them with those big, sparkling eyes, their eyes brimming with tears.

Nolan knew what this cunning little darling was up to, so he simply chose not to watch.

"Humph!"

Messiah bit her lip, looking extremely resentful.

Although Zinora looked haggard, she was at ease, knowing that as long as she stayed by Nolan's side, no one could hurt her.

This habit of relying on others was cultivated by the Sun Queen from a young age in a cage, and it requires a bit of violence to destroy.

The five-person team regrouped countless times and wandered around for most of the day before finally discovering the abandoned manor in the wilderness, when it was already completely dark.

The darkness made the demon from the abyss feel at ease, but Mei Ruo still took out a torch from her spatial ring, lit it, and walked at the front to light the way for everyone.

The Silent Manor in view is not far from the deep rock crevice, overgrown with weeds and neglected, just as dilapidated as the central town.

A gold rush swept through Kentau a decade or so ago, and many people settled there. However, as the profits from the cracked ore became lower and lower, the swarms of locusts gradually left this original plane, and these estates were naturally abandoned.

"This place is so big, how are we supposed to find that scorpion?"

Messiah slumped down on the hillside, giving up on thinking altogether, and rubbed his aching calves.

At this moment, the red-haired woman, who had seemed to have a premonition, interjected, "Are you also here to find Viper?"

Chinara nodded, and Tran gritted his teeth, his expression complicated. "I know the way, follow me!"

"Huh?"

Nolan and Meiruo exchanged a glance, some doubts in their hearts, but they still wanted to find out. They followed Tran quietly and slipped through a hole in the broken fence into the backyard of the manor.

"Wait for me!"

Messiah followed behind, his arm around Zenora's waist.

The four followed the red-haired beauty into the mansion through the back door. The two silly girls made a screeching sound as they stepped on the cracked wooden floor, completely unaware of their surroundings.

The first floor was empty, long since emptied out, with many weeds growing from under the floorboards in the stairwell.

"Shhh."

Mei Ruo put her index finger to her lips, "Most magical beasts have a very strong sense of territory and a keen sense of smell; they will quickly detect intruders..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a chilling, eerie sound came from beneath his feet.

"Fizz..."

"Be careful."

The four huddled together, wary of their surroundings, while Tran, who had led them there, retreated into the shadows, his eyes gleaming.

The ferocity of monsters cannot be compared to that of wild beasts; like most intelligent beings, they are adept at using the souls accumulated within their bodies.

If the berserk beasts on Paradise Island all possess this ability, then Nolan will have no choice but to flee with Ekaterina and the others.

Kentao, a rare elemental primordial monster, is already exceptionally rare, especially a serpent-like creature that is valuable from head to toe. Among low-level monsters, it is extremely valuable.

Materials from monsters can fetch a good price, so you can imagine how difficult it is to hunt them.

Click!

The floor beneath their feet suddenly shattered, and a dark shadow emerged from the wooden planks, wrapping around Nolan's calf and pulling her downwards.

The silver-haired girl was the first to be ambushed, falling into the pit beneath her feet. Mei Ru gritted her teeth and chased after her; the darkness posed no obstacle to her at all.

Nolan!

There used to be a narrow cave beneath the manor, which was probably a den of vipers, but the red-haired woman didn't mention it at all, which meant she had obviously been there before.

In the face of danger, no one considered these things. By the time Messiah and Zenora tumbled down into the cave in the dark, the sound of metal clashing could be heard from inside.

The fallen torch illuminated the underground cave, where large piles of white bones were scattered around, and the stench of decay was overwhelming.

Among them were wild beasts, creatures larger than humanoids, and several unfinished corpses of adventurers, their flesh mangled and bloody, which terrified Zenora, who cowered to one side, covering her head in fear.

Inside the cave, coiled up was a thick, red snake that was five or six meters long!

It has a wide-open mouth with sharp fangs, growls and hisses, and its tail is a segmented black tail with sharp, venomous needles sticking up high, making it extremely threatening.

In this desolate plane, being stung by a snake or scorpion would have unimaginable consequences of being afflicted with deadly venom.
