Chapter 10 Part 1: The Sage's Test
Anna sneered coldly as the roiling black mist around her surged, trying desperately to merge back into Morgan's body.
"Esther, blow him to pieces!"
"Yes, Sister Anna!"
The silver-white blade erupted with holy radiance.
Morgan's existence disintegrated into dust, dead beyond any saving.
"Ah!"
"You you actually killed him! He was my favorite man damn you!"
An irate voice rang out in the air, and an Anna with violet eyes identical to Anna's face appeared before her.
"Your favorite man? Then your taste is trash."
Anna mocked with disdain.
The witch's eyes chilled.
"Wouldn't it have been fine to obediently become his woman? Once you experience it, you'll know how happy and how joyful it is he's such a wonderful man."
"For him, I reincarnated so many times and now you've ruined it all."
"Isn't that your just deserts?" Anna sneered. "For your own desires you hurt so many newborn witches brought so much despair. This is your retribution!"
"As the saying goes: every cause has its effect. Your retribution heh is me."
"Retribution doesn't fail to arrive it's only that the time had not yet come."
"Shut up! Think a holy sword alone can deal with me? Hmph the Sage is already dead at my hands, and without being the Sage, how can you bring out the holy sword's true power?"
The light-brown hair of the violet-eyed witch rapidly turned white.
Thick black mist billowed from the alternate space and melded into her body.
The surrounding space began to warp.
This was the power of the world-devouring witch.
So strong it could rewrite reality twist time and space, and force people into death-loops.
As long as one bore her blessing, that person would never truly die; under her manipulation, they would meet her again and again, grow close, and fall in love.
Yet only she herself could kill the blessed man.
And Anna was her newborn counterpart.
"Heh, little girl did you think destroying Morgan would let you escape fate?"
"The men I blessed all once loved me. Not just one."
"Conveniently, there's still a Wick. I'll have him love you properly."
The violet-eyed witch raised a pale hand.
The black mist formed a colossal arm and swatted down toward Anna.
Anna didn't flinch.
"Esther, answer my call unleash your true power!"
"On it, Sister Anna!"
Holy light burst forth.
In an instant, the giant hand was scattered.
When the radiance faded, a silver-white suit of armor now clad Anna like a Valkyrie of the battlefield, holy and beautiful.
Her one-handed sword had thickened into a two-handed greatsword, its surface shimmering with sacred light its power evident at a glance.
Compared with the witch wreathed in black mist, one was an angel, the other a demon.
"Impossible! You're a witch, too though the power lies with me, you shouldn't be able to release the holy sword!"
The violet-eyed witch stared in disbelief at Anna, panic for the first time creeping in.
Anna's lips curved.
"Die!"
"Explosive Execution!"
She vanished from where she stood.
A blinding slash of white pierced the violet-eyed Anna's body, felling her in a stroke.
Yet in the blink of an eye, the violet-eyed Anna was whole again and laughed.
"Ha! Did you think you could truly kill me?"
"In the alternate space how many of me are there? Can you count them? They are all me who have experienced the fated loops."
"Little girl how much mana do you have left?"
"Stop struggling live a joyful loop with me. Isn't that better?"
"And that ritual just now has already unsealed the space. How's that? Despairing yet?"
"Sorry not really."
Anna smirked. "This was in our plan all along. I'm going to kill your true body."
"Heh, dream on! The alternate space is entirely under my "
Rumble!
A violent explosion boomed from the tower's summit the alternate space was torn open.
Anna smirked and vanished.
In a blink, she stood within the black-misted alternate space.
The violet-eyed Anna's face changed; she hurriedly merged into the space's core.
Lu Fei descended naturally to Anna's side and took her small hand.
"Xiao Fei…"
Anna looked at him, moved.
In truth, she was a little sunk in self-loathing.
The origin, the source of herself the first witch had been such a licentious woman.
She felt unworthy of Lu Fei.
Unworthy of how good he was to her.
"Sister Anna, I said it: I'll face everything with you even if the world burns."
"You gave me warmth you saved my heart. So, when this is over marry me."
"All right."
Tears streamed down Anna's cheeks.
"If there's a 'later,' that is."
"Hmph still flirting at a time like this? Little girl did you really think you could defeat me?"
A hoarse voice echoed from all directions.
Strands of black mist formed figures identical to Anna.
Violet-red glows burned in their eyes.
Clearly these were the newborn witches whom the witch had corrupted through reincarnation.
There were tangled relations here.
But one thing was certain:
Those newborn witches who were ruined and fell into despair would become puppets.
"Well? So many Annas all your predecessors. Can you bear to harm them?"
"Heh~" Anna smiled and snapped her fingers.
"Sisters help me catch her!"
At her word, all the Annas acted at once, wielding their power to seize one among them.
"Impossible! What are you doing? Aren't you jealous of her? Why does she get such a wonderful 'little brother'? Why does she get happiness? Let me go! Be like me!"
"Sorry we're tired."
One of them spoke, looking to the holy-armed Anna by Lu Fei's side.
"Please free us. Set the broken world back on its track."
"I understand."
Tears spilled anew down Anna's face.
The holy sword in her hands flared.
She brought it down on her "sisters."
"Ahhhhh! You bitches !"
With the screams, all the black mist vanished; the pitch-black space returned to pure white.
Anna stared blankly at the empty white.
Lu Fei, for his part, blew Wick revealed at last into oblivion.
Destruction magic erased the soul.
With a wave, Anna returned the holy sword to Lu Fei's hand, then slipped her arms around his neck.
"Xiao Fei now…I'm yours!"
So sudden!
But faced with Anna's fervor, how could Lu Fei refuse?
Then and there
In that pure white space Anna became Lu Fei's woman.
"Sister Anna let's go back."
After a brief rest, Lu Fei smiled.
Anna nodded then shook her head.
"Sorry, Xiao Fei."
The girl gazed at him, eyes full of tenderness and attachment then only resolve remained.
"Sister Anna?"
A bad premonition seized Lu Fei.
Anna gave him a sweet smile. "Remember this smile. Don't forget it, my dear."
Then she formed a blade with her hand and plunged it into her own heart.
Dense black mist poured out from her heart-center and the mad whispering filled the space again.
"Damn you you'd do this to yourself? Why not keep living happily? See you love men too, don't you? Isn't it wonderful?"
"Heh you're insane." Anna scoffed, her eyes going to the stricken Lu Fei.
"Xiao Fei kill me."
"I love you."
Lu Fei's tears fell unchecked.
"What kind of joke is this! I just got you how can I lose you now?"
"Sister Anna don't tease me. We promised to go home."
"Kekeke see? He can't bear to. Let me go become me we'll live happily forever."
The honeyed evil tried to sway hearts to flee judgment.
But Anna was resolute.
If she didn't die, this deranged tragic cycle would never end.
Because she was the special Anna and the kind thought of that former Anna.
So only her death could return everything to the origin.
Only now did she understand.
Lu Fei had been summoned by her
To protect her carry her safely through peril and break the cycle.
Perhaps she'd used him
But she truly loved him.
"Do it, Xiao Fei don't hesitate! If you really love me!"
Anna called to him, earnest and clear.
The witch's heart in her hand was nearly beyond restraint.
"I understand, Sister Anna!"
Lu Fei grasped the stakes in an instant.
Flashes of their time together ran through his mind he set his resolve.
He would gamble.
He stepped forward and embraced the girl gently.
"Sister Anna I said it. I'll be with you to the very end."
"Idiot big idiot!"
"Amy and Ellie? And that silly princess Luca she's a good one easy to bear children! Why die with me?"
"Then I'll gamble for saving the world there's always some privilege, isn't there? If not let this world be destroyed. I don't want a world without Sister Anna."
Anna sobbed, flinging the heart away and clutching him tight.
"Idiot you're such a big idiot!"
"But Xiao Fei Anna… likes you most!"
"Haha then it's perfect."
Lu Fei pressed his lips to hers.
In his heart, he whispered:
"Explode Reality."
His fully honed explosion magic his greatest trump.
A technique that breaks all rules, shatters crafted realities, cancels authorities.
The witch-heart, which had been about to flee, was suddenly bound by a power and dropped into the alternate space.
Before it could react
A violent white radiance spread from Lu Fei at the center sweeping the entire space.
Rumble!
