Chapter 404: Strange Fate
The barrier array around the duel arena slowly extinguished, and the simulated world that was already in tatters began to fall apart, eventually turning into an ordinary indoor venue.
All of this indicated that the previous duel had come to an end. Obviously, Senior Miya had not withstood the previous round of firework bombing.
This was nothing strange. After all, hundreds of high-level magic spells, and all of them were high-level magic spells with saint-level proficiency, were bombed together. Unless one had prepared specific defensive means or escape means, otherwise, if one purely resisted hard, even a weaker peak-level Witch couldn't withstand it, let alone Senior Miya, who was ultimately just a Great Witch.
However, Dorothy herself was actually not very satisfied with this result.
"Tsk, this 'hundred spells firing at once' is good, but it really consumes too much mana. A Great Witch's mana can't withstand such squandering, and the startup is too slow. As expected, there are still many places that need to be perfected and optimized."
And to be honest, she found that playing like this didn't have a very high cost-performance ratio. After all, there were conflicts between some magic spells, which instead reduced each other's power. For example, fire-type magic spells might be extinguished by water-type ones, and plague curses might be disinfected by high temperatures of flames, etc.
Therefore, the firework show just now looked cool and colorful, which was really beautiful, but purely considering the destructive power, it felt inferior to piling up all explosive magic and having a real "mushroom cloud." That way, the power would be even greater.
Moreover, this "one-wave" approach was problematic in the first place. If the opponent had precautions in advance and prepared an invincible item, then one would waste the whole wave, and after the mana was exhausted, one could only be slaughtered by the opponent.
Sigh, so that move just now could actually only be used to clear the field in some specific occasions. If it was used for a duel, it wouldn't be very meaningful.
This time, she caught Senior Miya off guard, which was why she won, but next time, once Senior Miya had precautions, this kind of move probably wouldn't have such a good effect.
"Perhaps I should refer to the 'Sanctuary' or 'Domain' type skills in the anime and novels from my previous life. Don't think about creating the world directly; if the stride is too big, it's easy to pull the crotch, although it's impossible for me to pull it anymore."
The Home Witch thought with some sadness in her heart.
She remembered that there were indeed some skills similar to domains in the Witch Library. Perhaps she could go buy a few books to refer to later. Although these types of domain magic all involved spatial laws, so the level was relatively high and they were sold relatively expensively, she hadn't been willing to buy them before. But now it seemed that these were necessary investments.
In short, the concept of the Magic Spell World was okay, but if she wanted to truly make it practical, there was still a long way to go.
Well, the future is promising, the future is promising.
When Dorothy returned to the auditorium, Audrey rushed over impatiently, looking at her with full admiration.
"Wow, Senior, you are so amazing. You actually know so many high-level magic spells, and the proficiency of each one is so exaggerated. And how did you do that 'hundred spells firing at once' at one time? Is this 'one mind, hundred uses'?"
The fox doll on the little fox's head asked incessantly, and the nine fluffy big tails behind her also swayed excitedly. She was just like an excited big dog.
After all, compared to the others in the club, Audrey was closer to this Senior. Now that the Senior had shown her great power, the little fox also felt very proud.
And Sophie Liya on the side wasn't so exaggerated, but the look in her eyes when she looked at her own Young Lady had also clearly changed.
Although the Pure White Witch had long known that her Young Lady was the famous Witch of the Forest, there had been no conclusion on the Magic Web about how powerful the Witch of the Forest actually was. She naturally didn't know very well either. And now, Sophie Liya understood a little bit about what the "gold content" of the Witch of the Forest meant.
So many magic spells all reached saint-level proficiency; how on earth was this done? And is the Young Lady really only 16 years old? Even if she started practicing spellcasting from the womb, the time wouldn't be enough.
Moreover, were the magic spells shown just now all the high-level magic spells the Young Lady knew? Did she hide more that she didn't use?
The Witch of the Forest is truly terrifying.
"Alright, alright, you guys spare me. That was just borrowing power from the duel arena. In reality, I'm just a weak, pitiful, and powerless little Witch."
Dorothy clenched her fists with some discomfort. Compared to the surging Great Witch power in her body just now, the gap after returning to reality was really too big, making her feel powerless all over for a while.
It was precisely because she had personally experienced the power of a Great Witch that she was even more aware of how big the gap between herself and a real Great Witch was. It felt like they weren't even the same species.
Sigh, the road to mana replenishment is long and arduous. I have to have an extra meal tonight and eat more so that my mana will grow faster.
And just as the three were chatting, Senior Miya also returned from resurrection. However, this time, the Golden Princess had a bright smile on her face, not as gloomy as before.
Although she lost again this time, overall, she had quite a good time. And the "fear of insufficient firepower" shown by the Little Fairy's carpet bombing at the end really made her like it very much. This was what a bombardment Witch should look like.
"Senior, are you okay?"
Seeing the "sugar mommy" come, Dorothy hurriedly asked cautiously. She was somewhat guilty. After all, she had agreed to play well with the Senior at the beginning, but she turned around and became addicted to magic research. She didn't know if Senior Miya had enjoyed herself.
"Of course I'm fine. I've completely recovered. And after knowing that you, Little Fairy, are so powerful, I won't have to hold back next time. Let's bomb each other next time. I didn't even dare to use spell scrolls this time."
Senior Miya replied with a brilliant smile. As she spoke, she opened the space and showed her "ammunition depot" to her beloved.
Dorothy: "......."
Looking at the mountains of various spell scrolls in Senior Miya's treasury, the expression on the Home Witch's face froze, and she was even a bit dull for a while.
Damn, so "hundred spells firing at once" could be achieved in this way?
Spell scrolls only need a bit of mana to tear open and activate to throw out the magic sealed inside. This is so convenient. Let alone "hundred spells firing at once," even "thousand spells, ten thousand spells" can be played casually. This is the true perfect multiple spellcasting. The only problem is....
Sob, if only I were this rich too. Damn, you evil rich people, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money.
The Home Witch fell into autism.
Even as a "God of Learning" among the "Top Students," she really couldn't learn this.
Although she could also make spell scrolls, she couldn't afford the material money for so many scrolls. After all, the higher the level of the spell scroll, the more advanced and precious the paper and ink needed.
Of course, she wouldn't say that using spell scrolls in a duel was against the rules. After all, Senior Miya's profession was an Alchemist. It was too normal for an Alchemist to use spell scrolls. The full treasury of various spell scrolls or other gems and props that sealed magic that the Senior had also seemed to be made by herself from the mana aura.
Therefore, it was completely reasonable and legal for the Senior to use these props in a duel. It was just that the intensity was over the limit, which made it impossible for others to play.
Reality is indeed a trash game with no balance at all. The "rich woman" version is so strong and hasn't been nerfed; it's intolerable to heaven and earth.
Dorothy was trembling with anger for a long while.
And next, the few people played a few more rounds. Even Senior Fan Ni felt itchy and went down to have a fight. She fought Sophie Liya, but it was a pity that there was nothing to say about that battle. After all, it couldn't even be called a duel; it was Senior Fan Ni unilaterally teasing the Pure White Witch. Even if Senior Fan Ni's strength was suppressed under the duel rules, Sophie Liya couldn't do anything to her.
After all, as the fourth King of Destiny, Senior Fan Ni's fate was too expensive. The Pure White Witch tried to modify her fate and was directly vomited blood by the backlash of fate, which was very difficult to handle.
And afterwards, to comfort her roommate, Dorothy also went on stage again to have a fight with her, and then Sophie Liya became even more autistic.
The Home Witch had long known that her fate was very strange. After all, she couldn't use Fate Power at all. She almost couldn't learn any of the prophecy-type fate-changing spells. After all, she couldn't even sense her own fate, so there was nothing to learn next.
She could at most learn some "Qi observation" and "divination" spells to observe fate. As for changing fate, it was all useless.
And Senior Fan Ni had also said when they first met that Dorothy's fate couldn't even be observed by her.
This time, the Home Witch originally wanted to see if Sophie Liya, the daughter of fate, could grasp her fate. As a result, the Pure White Witch looked for a long time and her hair directly turned into a question mark.
In Sophie Liya's words later, the Young Lady's fate was constantly changing every moment, not fixed like ordinary people. Her fate was simply jumping around. At this moment, life was like grass, and the next moment it was noble beyond words. The result of every observation was completely different.
It was the first time the Pure White Witch had seen such a free and unrestrained fate, so she couldn't modify the Young Lady's fate at all. After all, just as you finished changing it, the fate jumped to another line.
Well, the summary is....
High EQ: Young Lady, your future has infinite possibilities.
Low EQ: Young Lady, your fate is just there for a random lottery.
Anyway, Sophie Liya was a bit suspicious at the time whether this Young Lady of hers was still a person. This strange fate was simply like someone casually getting her a fake ID that they didn't care about at all. Every time someone checked her ID, it randomly generated a certificate for people to see.
Of course, it was also possible that this constantly changing fate was also a layer of camouflage, equivalent to a firewall, just to make it difficult for people to peek into the Young Lady's true fate.
It was just that the latter possibility was a bit far-fetched. After all, what kind of fate would need to be treated so cautiously? And how powerful would the person who could set up such an outrageous firewall be?
Only fate itself could play with fate like this. Even her mother, the Lord of Radiance, who was known as the embodiment of fate, might not be able to do such an outrageous thing.
But how could fate cover up a person like this? This is not realistic.
Considering that her Young Lady was a rare soul from another world, Sophie Liya felt that this unique fate might be because the Young Lady was a stranger, and the stranger's fate didn't match the fate system of the Witch World.
Dorothy also quite agreed with this guess. She remembered the scene when she was curious and looked at the "Mirror of Heart-Asking." At that time, the picture in the mirror was also flashing back and forth, messy, and finally, even the picture of the East Universe came out, which was very outrageous.
And the two didn't notice the appearance of Senior Fan Ni on the Home Witch's head at that time, who was so guilty that she was almost sweating. After all, the hat's expression was indeed quite difficult to distinguish.
In short, after having a good time, the group left the duel arena. After all, it was rare to come to the Golden Township resort manor once. If they only focused on fighting, wouldn't it be a huge loss? Before going back, everyone prepared to relax well.
It was just that this resort manor was too big, and there were too many recreational facilities, and they only had half a day left today. It was obviously impossible to experience them all, so everyone was discussing what to play.
Dorothy, a dead otaku, didn't know much about the recreational activities of "normies." If it were up to her, she would definitely find a place to eat first, and then go online to play games.
It was just that she still had self-knowledge about this. It was too embarrassing to think about finding an internet cafe to go online after coming to a resort, so she silently shut up and listened to the sisters around her discussing.
"Go to the amusement park."
As soon as she heard about playing, Senior Fan Ni jumped out to speak first. This person was clearly the oldest in the group, but her hobbies were unexpectedly childish.
"Of course, go to the opera house."
Audrey also proposed afterwards. The little fox really wanted to see what the level of her peers in the opera house outside her hometown was.
"Actually, I suggest going to the casino to play. The casino in the Golden Township is the most fun place."
As the landlord, Senior Miya proposed so.
It was just that her hardcore meaning made the few little Witches who had just become adults speechless. Was the casino really a place they could go?
"How about going fishing?"
Finally, after some thinking, Sophie Liya said so.
At this, everyone was stunned. They never expected that this Student Council President, who worked wholeheartedly every day, would also join this topic. So the President was also able to relax.
Perhaps it was because she was embarrassed by everyone's rude eyes, the Pure White Witch said with some shame and anger.
"You can picnic while fishing. The Young Lady is responsible for the barbecue. Aren't you hungry?"
Witches could originally not eat or drink; they could live with mana, so they naturally wouldn't feel hungry. But as soon as they heard the President's words, everyone was hungry immediately.
"I agree to go fishing."
"Me too."
"Add one."
Senior Fan Ni, Audrey, and Senior Miya all betrayed their persistence while drooling.
Only Dorothy had a head full of question marks.
Ah this, what about my opinion? You guys just decided to treat me as a tool person?
