Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

Chapter 291: Reflection

"You've finally shown yourself."

A hand suddenly reached out from the flames and grabbed the blade of Requiem.

The Sin-Burning Flames dealt minimal damage to Aisaco. Even with Judgment's damage amplification, it wasn't particularly high, to the point that Aisaco wasn't instantly killed and still had the ability to counterattack.

Aisaco had killed many innocent humans, but most of those he slaughtered were evil vampires who had committed numerous atrocities. Therefore, under Judgment's judgment, Aisaco wasn't considered that wicked.

"..."

Loren flapped his wings, soaring into the air. Simultaneously, he pulled out Requiem, instantly severing Aisaco's fingers. Aisaco's attempt to grab Requiem with his hand was a mistake.

"Loren, it really is you."

As the Sin-Burning Flames dissipated, Aisaco instantly reformed his human shape, his speed several times faster than before.

Aisaco had been pretending all along, just to lure Loren out.

Actually, he had no concrete evidence proving it was Loren who was stopping him, but he was well aware that only Loren possessed the capability to hinder him.However, Loren also noticed a key point: the fingers just severed by Requiem were not regenerating at this moment, indicating that Requiem's effect was still useful.

"For everyone, for those who died because of you...

"Take this! Full power Blood Moon Condensed Light!"

Loren couldn't be bothered with further conversation. After shouting a lengthy chuunibyou line, Blood Moon Condensed Light erupted forth.

This time, Loren used one thousand points of Mana, already touching the threshold of Super-tier Magic, not to mention it also triggered the Strength Card's damage amplification.

Attacking from a high position against a low one, targeting an idiot. With air superiority, the attack Loren unleashed was something Aisaco simply couldn't dodge. His entire body was once again annihilated by Blood Moon Condensed Light.

Even so, Aisaco's heart remained completely unscathed.

Aisaco, blessed by the Goddess of Love, was strong and difficult to deal with. It was just unfortunate he encountered Loren, who had just received a massive power boost, leaving him utterly unable to fight back.

This time, even if Aisaco stopped concealing his regenerative ability, his body's recovery was still extremely slow, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Aisaco definitely still had many trump cards, so Loren didn't plan to give him any chance to catch his breath. Holding Requiem, he flew to a high altitude.

This time, Loren wasn't using the Crow's wings, but the wings of a Falcon. When the Corrupt Blazing Sun rose, Loren had witnessed the death of a falcon through Gwen.

Loren pierced straight through the cloud layer. During this process, he successfully disengaged from combat, and the damage amplification effect of Lurking Fangs was reset.

Then, Loren dove down from the high altitude, his speed reaching an utterly terrifying level.

He gripped Requiem tightly, the tip of the blade aimed directly at Aisaco's heart.

The blade tip even tore through the air. Loren's speed increased further. The moment his speed reached its limit, the blade tip struck Aisaco's heart dead center.

Even with Loren's current physical strength, he couldn't help but feel a numbness shooting through his arm.

And Aisaco's heart? Completely unscathed.

"It seems conventional methods of destruction won't work..."

Loren grabbed Aisaco's heart and activated Pluto's Mouth. A black hole gradually began to devour the heart. Right at that moment, the usually unstoppable Pluto's Mouth suddenly jammed. After swallowing half the heart, it fell silent, ultimately even disappearing entirely.

This was a clash of authority between two Outer Gods. The final victor was the Goddess of Love.

This outcome was also within Loren's expectations. The Goddess of Love's power was indeed considerably stronger than the God of Greed's. Losing in a clash of authority was normal.

By now, Loren roughly understood the situation. Aisaco's regenerative ability was actually very strong; he had been pretending all along.

His heart couldn't be destroyed. Previously, he deliberately tricked those vampires into thinking his weakness was his heart, just so they would attack it, depleting them, allowing him to rapidly regenerate and catch them off guard.

It was just unfortunate he encountered Loren, rendering all his arrangements useless.

Moreover, Loren wasn't completely helpless against Aisaco. He was quite familiar with the Goddess of Love's power. Her blessings were all idealistic. Loren speculated that the prerequisite for killing Aisaco wasn't destroying his heart, but making his heart die, making him abandon his feelings for his beloved.

However, given Aisaco's level of obsession, making him abandon his love was probably even harder than directly destroying his heart.

Fortunately, Loren had plenty of time. Gwen was currently stuffing the Corrupt Blazing Sun deeper underground, while Loren found a spot to sit down. He held the heart in his hand, and every time a bit of flesh grew back, Loren would shave it off with Requiem like peeling an apple.

Requiem's effect suppressed Aisaco completely; he was utterly unable to regenerate. However, Loren couldn't think of a way to deal with Aisaco for now. Even if he encased him in cement and threw him into the Endless Ocean, he would eventually crawl out one day.

"Master Mentor, how about letting me try?"

Loren suddenly felt someone pinching his shoulders from behind. The person's movements were gentle, softly massaging Loren's shoulders. It felt a bit like taking advantage, something Mirrorheart might do.

"Who?"

Loren sharply turned his head and then saw Naclis. But this Naclis was very different. Her face was brimming with a confident smile. The way she looked at Loren seemed to pull at threads, her desire for Loren completely unconcealed. She even licked her lips.

Seeing this, Loren quickly understood what was happening. This was Naclis's reflection. When Loren left, Naclis, worried about him, had sent her reflection to protect him.

"What's your method?"

After confirming the situation, Loren relaxed and inquired.

"You said before that a Witch's Arcane Ability can ignore the authority of the Orthodox Gods and directly harm Them. Perhaps it works the same against Outer Gods."

Reflection Naclis withdrew her hands, placing them behind her back. Tilting her head, she looked at Loren and spoke.

"Then give it a try."

Regarding this point, Loren truly wasn't sure.

The origin of the Witches was a mystery. Loren still didn't know. Perhaps what Reflection Naclis said was true.

Shadow condensed into a long blade in Reflection Naclis's hand. After Loren placed Aisaco's heart on the ground, Reflection Naclis stabbed down fiercely.

Her strength wasn't great, but she actually left a wound on Aisaco's heart—something even Loren hadn't managed to do.

"It seems effective. It's just my strength isn't sufficient. Can you help me, Master Mentor?"

Reflection Naclis looked at Loren, blinked at him, then extended one hand holding the blade, gesturing for Loren to grasp it.

When Loren grabbed Reflection Naclis's hand, her other hand immediately covered Loren's hand.

"Let's use our strength together now~"

As she spoke, Reflection Naclis's hand continued to rub against the back of Loren's hand, seizing every opportunity to take advantage of him.

Seeing her do such things with Naclis's face made Loren feel rather strange.
