Miss Witch’s Devotion Has Gone… Twisted

Chapter 292: The Other Side

The shadow-condensed blade, with Loren's assistance, directly pierced through Aisaco's heart, and Loren didn't even have to expend much effort.

At this moment, Loren finally confirmed that Reflection Naclis could have stabbed through on her own from the start; she was just finding an excuse to hold Loren's hand.

[Level up successful. Current level 47. Attribute point +1.]

Only after the level-up notification popped up did Loren confirm that Aisaco had been killed.

Perhaps Aisaco had many more tricks up his sleeve, but he would never get the chance to use them again.

He had schemed for so long, sacrificed so much, yet Aisaco died so carelessly in Loren's hands.

This was actually the norm. Back when Loren played games, he had killed plenty of BOSSes. He never researched their backstories, nor did he care if they had their own hardships. If they annoyed him, or if killing them brought Loren sufficient benefits, Loren would kill them.

After transmigrating, Loren had changed a lot. The current Loren would even give those BOSSes a chance to introduce their own backgrounds.

"Yay! We won!"

Reflection Naclis suddenly hugged Loren and planted a kiss on his cheek.Loren touched the spot that had just been kissed, feeling a bit dazed. This was more something Anna would do. Having Reflection Naclis do it now left Loren somewhat bewildered.

"Let's go home."

Loren didn't say anything about it and held no particular opinion about Reflection Naclis. She was just the opposite of Naclis in personality; everything else, including their interests and relationship, was the same as Naclis, such as their feelings for Loren.

Therefore, Loren didn't harbor any ill will towards her either, completely treating Reflection Naclis as one of his own.

"I did a great job this time, didn't I? Can I have a reward, Master Mentor?"

On the way back, Reflection Naclis kept circling around Loren. When Loren finally stopped, she eagerly pointed to her own cheek.

"Hurry, hurry, just like how you usually treat Anna. I won't tell the original..."

"Why does it sound like I'm having an affair..."

Loren was speechless, but he still planted a kiss on Reflection Naclis's cheek.

"Hehe..."

Reflection Naclis suddenly started giggling foolishly, her walking pace slowing considerably. In the end, she directly wrapped her arms around Loren's arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I love Master Mentor the most. I want to marry Master Mentor and be together forever."

Reflection Naclis didn't conceal her inner thoughts in the slightest. She even rubbed her face against Loren.

Loren remained silent, unsure how to respond. Instead, Reflection Naclis kept chattering away:

"Oh, right, Master Mentor, why don't you fly us back? Everyone's hiding on your orders anyway, so even if we fly, no one will see us. If we really run into any situation, I can always hide in the shadows.

"Please? You've flown with Anna before. If you don't fly with me, I'll think you're playing favorites.

"Although I wouldn't hold it against you, I'd still feel a bit uncomfortable inside. After all, I love you the most."

Reflection Naclis was extremely talkative, completely opposite to Naclis.

However, this was also Loren's first time conversing with Reflection Naclis. She had been holding back all this time, and now that she was finally free, Loren could understand her being a bit more talkative.

"Oh, by the way, I've been watching you all this time..."

Hearing this, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Loren. Sure enough, the next second, Reflection Naclis said the thing Loren least wanted to hear:

"Every night, I've been admiring your heroic form. It made my heart race with fear and excitement. I've wanted to join in for so long, but never had the chance. I could only hide in the shadows and secretly watch you all...

"I was like an incapable wife, even more useless than Naclis. At least she knows nothing, while I could only watch helplessly... Sometimes ignorance truly is bliss..."

"Alright, I'll fly you. Stop talking..."

Loren rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Great!"

Once Loren agreed, Reflection Naclis immediately jumped onto him, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Loren then picked up Reflection Naclis and soared into the air. Watching the ground gradually shrink beneath them, Reflection Naclis let out gasps of amazement.

Seeing Reflection Naclis's innocent appearance, Loren suddenly had a question he wanted to ask her. Only after opening his mouth did Loren realize he didn't know how to address Reflection Naclis.

Reflection Naclis also noticed Loren's predicament and proactively asked:

"Master Mentor, do you have a question for me?"

Since Reflection Naclis said so, Loren simply asked directly:

"Why is Naclis afraid of you?"

This was something Loren couldn't quite understand. In his view, Reflection Naclis was just the opposite of Naclis in personality and was quite cute. Logically, Naclis shouldn't have a reason to fear her.

"Because when she was very young, before she had met you, she was still fleeing with her mother.

"They encountered a group of bandits back then, a couple. They were quite pitiful, perhaps they had children at home. They robbed just to survive.

"But at that time, they genuinely wanted to kill Naclis and her mother. Naclis's mother was already like a candle guttering in the wind, so weak she couldn't even deal with two ordinary people.

"So, in the end, I acted. I killed them both.

"It was also at that moment that the look in Naclis's mother's eyes when she looked at Naclis held fear for the first time. Naclis could never forget that look, and neither can I."

When she reached this point, Reflection Naclis's emotions suddenly became agitated, tears glistening around her golden eyes:

"I didn't do anything wrong, right? They wanted to kill us, so I killed them. What's the problem?

"Maybe I could have just beaten them up, but what if they went on to kill others?"

Clearly, Reflection Naclis cared deeply about this matter. This time, Loren fell silent. He had thought Naclis was afraid of the reflection because the reflection was bloodthirsty, but it turned out to be this reason.

According to Loren's values, what Reflection Naclis did wasn't wrong either. This was also the concept Loren had always instilled in them.

Through Loren's teachings, Naclis had long understood right from wrong, and Loren now understood the specific situation:

"She doesn't think you were wrong for killing. She just can't forget that look in her mother's eyes."

People always talk about how terrifying and cruel Witches are. These are ultimately outsiders' opinions and can be completely disregarded, but a mother is different.

If not for Loren, perhaps Naclis would have long since become corrupted. But now, Loren's love for them will never change.

Therefore, as long as Loren doesn't die, they will never become corrupted.
