Chapter 90: I’m Here to Avenge You!
“A third-tier supernatural with the floral aspect?”
Captain Blackeye lightly stepped on the water’s surface, taking a step forward with his knife in hand.
He looked into the distance, seeing a large number of blood-stained petals drifting down the river to their feet.
The floral aspect symbolizes transcendence, nature, and art. Professions related to it are often not skilled in combat.
Because of this, Captain Blackeye walked on the water with a catwalk-like ease, seeming completely in control.
Black Glove stepped forward:
“Blackeye, are you out of your mind? Still trying to look cool at a time like this? Show some respect—this is the Flower Witch!”
“Flower Witch?”
Little Crow’s heart raced as she waved her small hand excitedly.
Also an alchemist, the Flower Witch was the ancestral grandmother of witch sea alchemy.Her idol!
She grew up listening to stories about how the Flower Witch planted a hundred thousand people into the soil.
For a long time, she thought humans all grew from the earth.
It wasn’t until she was fifteen that Little Crow learned the real way humans reproduce.
Unfortunately, with her current status, she couldn’t ask the Flower Witch for an autograph.
Moreover, this Flower Witch was only third-tier, not the legendary witch of lore.
“Be careful, everyone.”
Little Crow’s dream of getting an autograph shattered, replaced by a nonchalant attitude as she stood on the rocking small boat, continuing her work.
She hadn’t yet poured the extracted black whale blood into glass bottles.
After all, she was a healer who couldn’t walk on water, so she would just stay behind with the thugs.
She looked back, more curious about what cute little sea beast was hiding behind the Black Whisker.
The Flower Witch had been discovered?
Chen Qi, fully covered by the Black Whisker, no longer hid his voice. Instead, he took out his most powerful hunting pistol and loaded bullets.
Among them, Black Glove, as a third-tier shadow aspect profession known as the Malicious Slanderer, was strong enough to fight the Flower Witch to a standstill.
Together with Captain Blackeye and Little Crow, if they fought, it would be a one-sided battle.
If they lost, both the Flower Witch and Chen Qi might become captives of the Blackfin Crew.
“There’s only so much I can do.”
In the darkness, Chen Qi gripped his firearm tightly.
Although he had developed well, it was unrealistic to fight two tiers above him.
Even Little Crow’s small fists were more than he could handle.
Moreover, his current physique wasn’t enough to use Ember’s Touch.
The best choice was to follow the Black Whisker, using the water spirits and firearms to assist.
Captain Blackeye and Black Glove stepped across the water toward the Flower Witch.
The wind rustled through the Black Whisker like a horn signaling an impending battle.
At the edge of their vision appeared a girl covered in flowers.
She was bathed in fresh blood, her withered wooden staff emitting hissing sounds like the whispers of a monster, her entire presence like a forbidden creature breaking free from confinement.
Blood-red flowers symbolizing anger bloomed continuously beneath her skin, glowing in the scorching fresh blood.
She pulled the flowers covering her face out from her flesh, revealing a blood-red right eye.
Near the research boat was a pool of red blood.
At Little Crow’s feet were buckets filled with fresh flesh and blood.
The Flower Witch sighed:
“Am I still too late...”
Chen Qi hadn’t returned, so she had emerged from the dimensional rift to search for him.
Using detection magic, she had tracked him all the way here, only to find pirates hiding nearby.
At that moment, she had a vague feeling Chen Qi had met with misfortune.
Now, seeing the blood-soaked Little Crow, she was mostly certain.
Chen Qi, the cook, had ended up as food on the chopping board.
Though she still had many questions about Chen Qi, he was the first person she met through the witch sea.
Such a handsome young man, so hardworking.
He even cooked delicious food! And could control beasts!
Damn it, she couldn’t stand it—good people should never have guns pointed at them!
Perfect, old grudges and new hatred will be settled all at once.
Qi, I will avenge you!
Endless fury flashed in the Flower Witch’s crimson eyes:
“Hand over the corpse, and I’ll leave you with an intact body.”
Corpse?
Black Glove looked around; the only corpses were mutated black whale fish.
“Hahahahaha!”
Black Glove laughed loudly, spreading his arms:
“Lucky, lucky! I never thought the legendary Flower Witch would want corpses rich in black whale blood, craving the path to immortality.”
Though wearing a pitch-black mask, his words were filled with endless mockery:
“But Flower Witch, why are you so angry? Did someone close to you die?”
Sizzle!
Red lightning burst from the tip of the Flower Witch’s staff.
A basic offensive spell, a branch type!
Two bolts of spiritual energy thundered through the air, hissing as they charged at Black Glove.
The high-energy spells were like thousands of scalding blades tearing through his flesh and blood.
A torrent of scarlet blood gushed from Black Glove’s body.
He twisted his neck sharply, cracking like breaking branches:
“Awesome, just awesome!
Flower Witch, is that all your power? Haven’t eaten? Come on, hit me more!”
Layer after layer of black pus sacs burst from his body, twisting and converging into new flesh.
The Flower Witch gripped her staff.
Unlike usual, Black Glove actually withstood the blow!
A normal human body without using potions could never recover so monstrously.
Her attack didn’t achieve the expected effect.
This Black Glove was not just a brute force type or armored type; he belonged to a more terrifying forbidden school.
“My turn!”
Black Glove’s body writhed with pitch-black movements, thick blood rolling as a small black snake appeared on his fingertip.
In an instant, the black snake twisted and expanded, growing solid flesh and swelling to nearly a thousand times its size, like a rapidly inflating balloon creature.
Shadow Snake: Devour!
The giant snake’s ferocious head slammed down toward the Flower Witch.
She raised her staff, forming a floral-patterned shield before her.
Basic defensive spell: Spiritual Energy Shield.
The giant snake collided with the shield, sparks flying and thunderous hissing erupting.
At that moment, a shadow flickered to the Flower Witch’s side, drawing a long knife from the waist.
A draw slash!
Like a demon unleashed, the long knife slashed through the air, tearing a ripping blade of light.
Captain Blackeye’s spiritual perception was weak, and mages found it hard to sense his spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy shield worked well against spells also formed from spiritual energy.
However, against melee moves enhanced by physical energy to boost strength and speed, its effect was minimal.
A third-tier, incomplete shadow aspect rogue profession...
The Flower Witch turned her head, her hand holding the staff twisting instantly to block across her chest.
Basic melee move: Great Staff Block.
Bang!
Sparks flew!
Can’t block it. I’m just a part-time mage majoring in alchemy, only knowing basic spells, the Flower Witch gritted her teeth:
“No choice, I have to use this move.”
A high-level melee spell, an explosion on the spot!
Before the Flower Witch, a surging ball of spiritual energy rapidly condensed, as if compressed by countless bolts of lightning.
Pressure, pressure, pressure!
Until the limit was reached!
Boom!
The attacks collided in an instant, like converging lightning, releasing a massive explosion that stirred towering waves.
Beneath the huge waves, the three quickly separated.
As the dust settled, the Flower Witch wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, gasping heavily.
As a mage, it was fortunate she learned the explosion on the spot.
Otherwise, it would have been trouble if the warriors got close.
The Flower Witch raised her bloodied hand, blood-red flowers blooming again on her pale arm.
Captain Blackeye was caught off guard by her explosion, his strong arm covered in scorching scars.
Of course, Black Glove was almost unharmed.
He stood up, as if the outcome of this battle was already decided, mockingly saying:
“So this is the Flower Witch? She’s nothing like the legendary witch.
Do you really deserve to bear that name?”
The Flower Witch crouched, drinking a vial of Dragon Breath Elixir that burned with refined blood:
“You’ll find out.”
The atmosphere between the three was like a hundred-ton powder keg ready to explode.
The probing was over; the next clash would decide the victor.
“That fight was intense.”
“Can this Flower Witch really handle it? She’s less useful than I imagined.”
“A bit disappointing. I feel like I could be a witch too.”
Little Crow, slacking off on the boat, put down the glass tube containing black whale blood, wanting to find something to eat.
However, her hand accidentally touched something soft and springy.
She grabbed the small thing and held it carefully, scrutinizing it.
“Waaah, waaah!”
The Deepsea Water Spirits looked pitifully at Little Crow. They never expected their master to make them snatch things.
The sea beast-loving Little Crow paused, her face slightly flushed as she pinched:
“Where did this little thing come from? It’s quite cute...”
So cute!
Little Crow was instantly controlled by the Deepsea Water Spirits.
However, the next moment, she vaguely sensed something was wrong.
These water spirits didn’t seem wild.
She turned her head.
Within the Black Whisker, a monster covered in black tendrils darted rapidly.
This had to be the monster that made noise just now in the Black Whisker cluster.
What kind of monster is this? A black monkey?
The knowledgeable Little Crow was momentarily stunned.
Then, in the next second, the Black Whisker monster pulled out a hunting pistol and aimed it at her.
Pulled the trigger.
