Millennium Witch

Furthermore, she actually dared to try to get the noble dragons to address her as "Your Excellency"—what audacity!

Dugrabi clicked its tongue in surprise, but once it knew the other party wasn't a god, it wasn't afraid anymore. It asked disdainfully, "Do you need something from my teacher?"

In this region, besides its teacher, there is probably no other person with silver hair.

"A teacher? So there's some connection after all." Abella sneered. "If you don't want to die, take me to her."

"You think I can just bring it whenever you want? Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Dugrabi said dismissively.

"Looks like you're looking for a taste of hardship." Abella narrowed her eyes, and the next second, a dozen slender, black limbs emerged from her snow-white back, like a combination of spider legs and metal spears, exuding a chilling aura.

"Who's afraid of who?" Dugrabi was completely unfazed. It had defeated too many evil demons these past few days, which filled it with confidence. It immediately flapped its wings and pounced, actually wanting to take the initiative.

On the snow-covered ruined streets, the black dragon and the spider woman immediately engaged in battle. Within two or three minutes, Abella quickly gained the upper hand, slamming a palm strike covered in black magic into the ground, creating cracks in the frozen earth and sending up snow-like ice shards.

The defeat was so swift that Dugrabi found it hard to believe. How could this be?

Abella became increasingly certain that this black monster-like progenitor must be the silver-haired girl's apprentice, because in their recent exchange, the moves the opponent used were exactly the same as the fire magic that the silver-haired girl had been using for the past two years—she was all too familiar with them!

Moreover, she had been harassed by this procedure for two years!

Compared to the silver-haired girl, this dragon beast's skills were extremely clumsy. Whether it was fire bullets or fire rings, the hit rate was very worrying, and it didn't know any other variations. It only used these two moves, or it would pounce on her and fight her to the death, only to be easily repelled by her spider leg spears... It was so weak that it was unbearable to watch.

It's only because they're enemies now that she's doing this; otherwise, she would have already planned to act as a teacher and give the black dragon some pointers, teaching it how to cast spells like its teacher.

"Don't be unconvinced. Even your teacher is no match for me, so what are you?" Looking at the dejected black dragon, Abella chuckled triumphantly.

"Bullshit!" Dugrabi naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense. In its eyes, its teacher's strength might be almost on par with its father, the Flame Dragon King. It was a top-tier combat force below the true gods of the human world. How could such a filthy demon that only bullies young dragons compare to it?

It immediately took flight again, rushing towards Abella, attempting hand-to-hand combat while fiery red rune rings lit up around it.

A ring of flames shot out, its trajectory slightly slowed, and Abella easily dodged it.

However, this time, after the Flame Ring missed, Dugrabi suddenly fired a Flame Wave Bullet at the Flame Ring that was boomerang-like as it circled back.

The next second, as it passed through the ring of flames, the Flame Wave Bullet seemed to be enhanced, suddenly expanding, accelerating, and heating up, finally striking Abella's face like a rocket! Brilliant fireworks burst forth, instantly engulfing the Spider Woman!

This is the combined effect of "Flame Wave" and "Ring of Flames"! The moment the two spells are linked, although it will drain a lot of the caster's extra mana, it will also give Flame Wave an even more abnormal damage boost, making it a killer move that Dugrabi dares not use easily!

A dozen seconds later, as the smoke cleared, Abella's condition after the attack was finally revealed. Her face bore obvious burn marks, which were rapidly healing, but her disheveled appearance and tattered clothes still left her looking wretched and furious.

"Looks like you want to die before your teacher," Abella glared menacingly at Dugrabi.

After completing her promotion and becoming a true lord, she felt she was fully capable of killing the silver-haired girl, so she volunteered to start an investigation, which led her to focus on the black dragon wandering around the outskirts of Cooks.

But what she didn't expect was that what should have been a game of cat and mouse turned into a sudden and brutal attack, leaving her feeling like she had been caught off guard and her life had been in jeopardy.

More importantly, when she fought the silver-haired girl before, she was often unable to dodge the attack because the trajectory was too fast and too sudden. Now that the silver-haired girl's apprentice is using this move, it can actually hit her and cause effective damage. What a disgrace!

However, there is one thing to be thankful for: the magical pressure of this dragon beast is clearly not as strong as that of the silver-haired girl. If the same spell were used on the silver-haired girl, her fate would have been far more tragic.

On the other side, Dugrabi hesitated. Although the combo attack was very useful, if it could be sustained, its magic power would definitely run out first. The best option was to escape as soon as possible.

But this spider witch is incredibly powerful. If they rashly flee back to the valley, they will only attract more trouble. Even if the teacher can handle it, what if innocent people in the Puppet Kingdom are injured or killed?

Although Dugrabi is a racist who prioritizes dragon supremacy, he values ​​doing what pleases him and will not do anything immoral that would make people feel guilty.

Thinking about all this, it was a little too late to run away, and Abella seized the opportunity, slapping it into the building next to it, smashing through several frozen concrete walls.

When it finally came to its senses, the spider woman grabbed its tail and slammed it into the ground, sending up clouds of dust and ice.

Therefore, it would be necessary to use Dugrabi to obtain information about the silver-haired girl; otherwise, killing this young dragon prince would indeed be no difficult task for Abella.

"Alright, if you don't talk now, you'll die and never have another chance. Where is your teacher?" Abella threatened viciously, looking at the black dragon, which was covered in wounds and on the verge of death.

"Hmph, you wish... dream on..." After being brutally beaten, Dugrabi's consciousness was already somewhat scattered, but he still managed to groan with difficulty.

Abella's face turned cold. She kicked the dragon's head, her high heel, imbued with black magic, embedding itself like a hammer into the dragon's scales. It was only because she didn't know this dragon wasn't a divine offspring that she had the opportunity to inject some mutation factors and infect it.

"Aren't you going to tell me?" Abella stopped and asked again.

Dugrabi didn't answer, seemingly exhausted, and made a soft groan. But just as Abella frowned and bent down, intending to listen to what the black dragon was saying, Dugrabi took the opportunity to spit in her face and then let out a sly, triumphant laugh.

Her beautiful face and clothes were covered in sticky dragon saliva. Abella's eyes widened for a moment, unable to react until she heard laughter. Only then did she belatedly realize that she, as a powerful person, had actually been insulted!

"You bitch!!" She kicked the dragon's head a dozen times in a row, then angrily extended the spider-leg spears on its back, deciding to abandon the torture and kill it directly. She thought that this dragon beast truly deserved to be that silver-haired guy's apprentice; one had been harassing her for a long time, and the other was still disgusting her even on the verge of death. Their level of loathing was truly equal.

But just seconds before the spider-leg spear was about to pierce down, a tentacle appeared out of nowhere and slowly approached the spider witch.

While Abella was in a frenzy, it curled up slightly, then suddenly stretched forward.

Then, with a snap, Abella was sent flying.

Chapter 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 losing the beautiful, powerful, and composed demeanor she had displayed when she appeared before Dugrabi.

She suspected she had encountered a level six leader, but the question was, if such a powerful figure was really in the mood 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.

Chapter 82 Secret

When Yvette released the Spider Witch and placed her on the rooftop of a ruined building, Dugrabi also recovered and flapped its wings, flying in that direction.

It is worth mentioning that only a small part of the dragons' ability to fly comes from the airflow generated by flapping their wings. The majority of their ability stems from a unique innate ability, or rather, a wind elemental technique imprinted deep within their genes, which is considered an early manifestation of "dragon language magic".

In other words, without magic, dragons cannot fly; they can only glide.

Of course, Dugrabi hasn't reached that point yet.

After landing beside the teacher, Dugrabi looked at Abella kneeling on the ground in a humble posture and immediately understood what had happened. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into loud laughter: "Hahahaha, weren't you very arrogant just now? Didn't you say that even the teacher couldn't beat you? Eh? Why are you kneeling down?"

Its mocking remark immediately drew the attention of Abella, who had been weeping and wailing.

She glared at it with wide eyes and arched eyebrows, her meaning clear—it's one thing that I can't beat your teacher, but who do you think you are, an elite-level divine heir, daring to be so disrespectful and mock her, a dignified lord? Have you forgotten who was just tormenting you?

But when she thought about how she was a prisoner and how her evolution factors had been completely plundered, and that she might no longer be considered a lord, she reluctantly turned her face away, not wanting to clash with this hateful dragon beast.

Her current situation is rather special. To use a cultivation novel analogy, she has a very high realm, but her cultivation level is gone, and she needs to cultivate it back. This can be restored through eating, but it will take a long time.

Whether she needed to switch allegiance to the new leader or not, she didn't care. In fact, she thought it was better this way. What difference did it make who she served as a dog? As long as she could escape this calamity, she would still have a chance to make a comeback in the future. It wouldn't be too late to cause trouble for this dragon beast then!

Meanwhile, Dugrabi persisted. Seeing that the Spider Witch was ignoring him with a cold face, it leaned closer and said in a cheeky tone, "Haha, that's exactly what I wanted to see, that's the expression you're making right now! Yes, yes, yes, you have to keep it up!"

Abella took a deep breath, thinking that a man can be killed but not humiliated... Well, for the heirs of the gods, dignity may be the least important thing; living is always the most important thing.

Taking a step back brings calm and tranquility; enduring a moment opens up a vast and boundless horizon!
