Mystery: The Witch of Desire

This is the extraordinary characteristic of the Death Path Sequence 5 'Gatekeeper'. This feathered serpent had probably reached the pinnacle of Sequence 5 in its lifetime, just one step away from crossing the threshold of demigodhood. Unfortunately, it lost its life here and will never live to see the day it attains divinity.

After a moment's thought, Livre released the writhing, hungry nightmare's soul and obtained a Sequence 7 Nightmare's extraordinary property.

Then, she raised her left hand and aimed it at the feathered serpent's fleeting soul.

The writhing, hungry palms opened into a gaping maw full of blood-red teeth, unleashing a powerful suction force.

The feathered serpent's soul trembled slightly, held on for a moment, but was still sucked into the writhing, hungry interior along with that extraordinary characteristic.

After successfully releasing the feathered serpent's soul, Livre extracted three abilities, including the 'Gate to the Underworld' ability that the feathered serpent had used. This was the ability Livre desired most.

Good luck, today looks like my lucky day...

Livia hummed a little tune softly in a good mood as she prepared to return to the Treasure Ship.

Just then, she felt a sudden tremor in her heart and an indescribable surge of emotion.

The giant tree within her suddenly brought forth an intense desire, spreading throughout her body, making her feel hot and her eyes moist.

This must be what Arodes meant by backlash; these desires need to be released...

Liviel then remembered the purpose of bringing Elaine to the island; the battle just now was so intense that she had almost forgotten about it.

She rushed impatiently to the bushes where she had been hiding and saw Elaine lying there, breathing heavily.

"Elena, what's wrong with you too..."

Liviel was puzzled, then she remembered the intense tremor that had been felt when the giant tree emerged from the altar, which had affected her deeply, let alone Elaine, who was at Sequence 9.

Without Liviel even needing to speak, Elaine, who had already lost her mind, instinctively sensed the approach of a creature, and her light blue eyes instantly turned fiery.

"Perfect, that way you won't blame me afterwards, right?"

"By the way, I remember you should have that kind of tendency."

Liviel smiled slightly, the spider silk in her hand dancing.

……

……

Tracy was somewhat annoyed.

Since arriving on Dumbo, her and her team's journey has been very difficult.

First, they encountered a strange flower lurking in the shadows, which launched a sneak attack from the darkness, resulting in the first mate being seriously injured and forced to return to the Black Death.

Then they encountered a flock of large, jet-black birds. During the fierce battle, Tracy and the second mate got separated, leaving only the third mate, Misor King, by her side.

"Captain, no matter what happens, I will stay by your side."

Seeing Tracy's gloomy expression, Misor King offered words of comfort, both to show his loyalty and to test whether he could win Tracy's heart.

But Tracy didn't react much, just nodded slightly and continued to focus on what was in front of her.

Misor King was disappointed by Tracy's coldness, but he didn't say much, merely suppressing his inner passion and desire for the time being.

Ever since he was won over by Tracy, he had spent the entire year fantasizing about whether he could taste his captain's flavor.

Now, he is closest to the scene he has imagined...

Tracy was unaware of Misor King's inner thoughts. She took out a mirror and performed a divination, wanting to further confirm the location of the woman who had humiliated her mother.

The divination results were vague... Witches are experts in both divination and counter-divination; witches of similar status rarely obtain specific information about each other...

Just as she was feeling frustrated, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from ahead.

Tracy stopped and made a spiritual exploration ahead.

It was a wave of desire and fragrance, exuding the sweet and alluring aura of a witch, mingling with another, hot aura...

Got you!

Tracy felt a surge of excitement, like a hunter who had finally caught up with his beast.

Moreover, that woman was having sex with someone I don't know. What a filthy woman, doing such a thing on a deserted island!

Tracy felt a surge of secret delight; this gave her the perfect opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

She concealed herself, signaling Misor King to keep a distance from her, waiting for her to launch a sneak attack first before rushing in to surround and attack the woman.

Tracy slowly made her way through a patch of low bushes, moving forward.

Gradually, she began to hear that strange sound.

Tracy sneered and conjured a fierce black flame in one hand.

Suddenly, Tracy felt something was off, because the sound coming from ahead gave her a familiar feeling.

"That voice... it sounds a bit like... Elaine?"

Chapter 206 Tracy

Tracy's heart tightened, and she rushed out of the bushes to see what was in front of her.

Elaine was bound by spider silk, and the woman was attacking her.

That woman who hurt his mother...

At that moment, Tracy felt her inner vulnerability crumble.

Endless pain surged from the collapse, overwhelming her mind and body, making it hard for her to breathe.

"No, Elaine, why did this happen..."

The next second, her inner pain turned into endless anger.

You bastard, I will make you die in endless agony!

……

As Liviel was trying to expel the excess substances from her body, she suddenly sensed an unusual aura, as she was extremely sensitive to changes in her emotions.

That was extreme anger, that was the desire for revenge, that was cold black flames!

Livre turned her head sharply and saw Tracy, dressed in black, seemingly rushing out of the void. A black flame in her hand transformed into a long whip, which had already been swung at her face!

Hey! What's this guy doing here?!

Livre dodged.

Tracy missed her first strike with the whip, then spread her arms wide, and a large patch of frost gathered in front of her, transforming into countless ice spikes about an inch long that flew towards Livre.

Whoosh! Liviel's figure was riddled with countless ice spikes, bursting into a bubble. The next second, her figure appeared in the mirror opposite Elaine—Liviel had placed a mirror in front of her, but unexpectedly, it took the hit for her.

"You bastard!"

Tracy immediately understood what had happened, and her anger intensified. She lost all reason and threw a punch covered in black flames, aiming for Livre's abdomen!

boom!

The punch pierced through Livre's abdomen, the sharp black flames scorching her internal organs, and her shrill screams echoed through the forest.

Before Tracy could rejoice, Livre's figure shattered into pieces and suddenly appeared behind her.

Tracy then realized that everything that had just happened was just an illusion. She had been blinded by anger and had fallen for the other party's mirror illusion!

But why can that woman use mirror illusions? That's an ability only the Witch of Pain can master...

Tracy exclaimed in surprise:

"You've been promoted to Sequence 5?!"

"Yes, thanks to your mother, my pleasure potion was completely digested in no time!"

While mocking her, Livre conjured an ice spear and thrust it toward the back of Tracy's neck.

Tracy was reminded of her most humiliating memories by this provocation, and she lost her rationality. Ignoring her disadvantageous position, she conjured an ice spear in her palm and turned to thrust it at Livre.

With a slight turn, Livre dodged Tracy's hasty thrust. At the same time, several emerald green vines sprouted from her side, instantly wrapping around Tracy's waist and arms. Meanwhile, her ice spear slammed out, striking Tracy squarely in the throat!

*Pfft!* Livre was quite certain that the attack had struck Tracy's true form!

However, to her shock, the blue diamond-encrusted bracelet on Tracy's wrist suddenly shone with a dazzling light, and her originally fair and delicate neck suddenly became as hard as a diamond!

Bang! Livre's ice spear pierced Tracy's hardened neck and snapped in two!

The bracelet only had one diamond that turned to dust; it still contained more than ten sparkling diamonds.

This mysterious item is more troublesome than I imagined...

Livre remembered that Elaine had mentioned that Tracy had a bracelet-like magical item that could grant immunity to most damage and abnormal statuses.

Before the last battle, she was lucky enough to remove Tracy's bracelet, which barely allowed her to subdue Tracy. Now it seems that if she hadn't dealt with that bracelet first, she wouldn't have been a match for Tracy at all!

However, now that she is a dual-path Sequence 5 and possesses the Wriggling Hunger, she is much stronger than before, so Livre is not flustered.

She quickly picked up a thread and reached for Tracy's wrist, trying to snatch the bracelet.

Tracy's movements were restricted by the vines, so she quickly secreted a lot of spider silk on her wrist to wrap the bracelet. Then, black flames ignited at the part of her body that was in contact with the vines, and a chilling coldness traveled along the vines and directly affected Livre's body!

Livre quickly took a step back and broke off the vines. New vines and flower buds then grew on her sides, shoulders, and chest.

I've actually become the kind of person I used to hate the most...

Liviel sighed slightly, then coiled the newly sprouted vines into sharp, pointed spears—

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Long green spears pierced Tracy's throat, chest, abdomen, and other vulnerable areas. Bound by the remaining vines, Tracy's movements were slowed for a moment, and she was immediately subjected to a storm of attacks from the green spears.

She frantically tried to use all her defensive techniques, but was still stabbed in a vital spot, and another diamond on her bracelet turned to dust.

At the same time, all the flower buds on Livre's body opened and closed together, releasing a fragrant sap, instantly filling the air with an atmosphere of desire.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Livre struck again, sending several vines mixed with spider silk flying towards Tracy, aiming at her joints and vital points.

However, these were just a facade. Livre had already grasped the puppet doll in her other hand, and several spiritual threads with the ability to control it were hidden in the shadows, heading towards Tracy's ankle!

Whoosh!

The silk thread wrapped around Tracy's bare ankles, and she immediately felt a stiffness, as if her joints were rusty.

Although the diamond bracelet provided some resistance, which largely mitigated the discomfort, Tracy estimated that she still wouldn't last more than a few minutes.

She frantically tried to distance herself from the other person, but countless vines and spider silk rushed up and wrapped around her sluggish body. In just a few seconds, her joints, wrists, and ankles were firmly bound, and even a vine was forced into her mouth, poking into Tracy's throat, making her want to vomit.

Now, Tracy couldn't even sing. She tried to communicate with the nearby mirrors, but to her despair, she found that every mirror nearby had been anchored by the other party, and she couldn't even activate her mirror stand.

At the same time, Livre was also tense all over. She was manipulating vines, spider silk, and puppets at the same time, and she also had to seal off the mirrors. Every second she was consuming a huge amount of spiritual energy.

However, Tracy, who was wearing the bracelet, had an unusually strong resistance to abnormal states. The puppet transformation that would normally take only a dozen seconds would take at least two minutes to complete this time. Liviel really didn't know if she could last that long.

Livre gritted her teeth and diverted another portion of her spiritual energy to weaken Tracy's resistance. Tracy, who had been firmly bound, suddenly felt a strange tremor, and her body, which had been resisting the spiritual threads, went limp, accelerating the puppet-like process even further...

As time ticked by, Livre felt herself gradually gaining the upper hand.

However, at that moment, a crumpled piece of paper was thrown at her, carrying with it a twisted and strange aura.

"bribe!"

A slightly excited male voice sounded beside her, and Livre then realized that a man with deep-set eyes and bloodshot eyes had appeared behind her.

Tracy's third adjutant, Misor King!

Livre had actually anticipated that Tracy would bring her companions, but during the previous confrontation, she was focused on everything and had no energy to keep an eye on any other potential enemies, which allowed Misor King to launch a sneak attack.

Under the influence of her ability to bribe, Livre felt that all her abilities had declined to varying degrees, making it difficult for her to maintain control over Tracy.

Misor King struck again, activating the corrupted Baron's twisting ability, which distorted Tracy's abnormal state. Tracy, whose cheeks were flushed and whose expression was blank, recovered somewhat. With the help of her remaining strength, she broke free from Livre's control and disappeared from the spot.

The next second, she broke through Livre's blockade in the mirror world and appeared next to a shattered mirror. Livre immediately followed, and new branches emerged from her side, turning into spikes that stabbed fiercely at Tracy's vitals!

Boom!

Tracy stumbled back a few steps, and another diamond on her bracelet turned to dust.

But she wasn't seriously injured; after regaining her footing amidst a series of attacks, she stood firm again. Misor King stood behind Tracy, and the two faced off against Livre.

After fighting for so long, not only have they failed to seriously injure Tracy, but they've also gained another enemy...

Livre felt somewhat annoyed and glared at Misor King, who had just appeared.

Finally getting a chance to catch her breath, Tracy turned her gaze to Elaine, who was still hanging from the tree...

Elaine's teary eyes met Tracy's gaze, and she immediately lowered her head in shame. She didn't know why she felt this way, but at that moment, she was afraid of being discovered by Tracy and dared not meet her eyes...

Tracy snorted, her expression less angry and more rational as she looked the exhausted Livia up and down.
