Chapter 685: Offense and Defense

Although the release incantation of Red Shadow was quite shameful, making Dorothy, who had long passed the middle-school-second-year phase after adding up several lifetimes, curl her toes in embarrassment, the power of the demon sword that was released along with it was also real and undeniable.

This time it wasn't the semi-release like when cutting down the miscellaneous ronin before, but the complete release that had been used once at the Courtesan Banquet.

Dorothy held the sword horizontally in front of her, and she saw the scarlet blade suddenly become sparkling and translucent, like a blood-colored river, where the bright red waves in the river could be clearly seen.

Afterward, a red flood dragon rushed into the sky from the river, broke through the dimensional wall, and drilled out from the blade.

This red dragon wound its way up along the arm of the Home Witch holding the sword and finally wrapped around her body, turning into a lifelike dragon tattoo on her shoulder, evil yet carrying an inexplicable divine majesty.

Afterward, the demon power from the abyss blood sea poured out from that red dragon tattoo and blessed Dorothy's body.

The Home Witch's already tall body immediately welcomed a second growth. Her original height of 1.8 meters quickly expanded to a body size of about 3 meters, and the giant *odachi* in her hand, which was originally over 2 meters long and actually a bit inconvenient to operate before the transformation, was now perfectly adapted.

Seemingly endless power flowed in her body, which made the Home Witch feel so comfortable she wanted to scream. She gripped the sword hilt tightly, enjoying the feeling of being full of power in every move.

The release of the Demon Sword Princess is the most perfect state of human-sword unity. Everything about the human and the sword will be shared with each other, taking from each other's strengths to make up for weaknesses, thereby achieving a result where one plus one is greater than two.

Dorothy lacks mana, but Red Shadow, as a hundred-year-old witch, even if she isn't very outstanding in mana talent, still has about 400,000 mana accumulated over a long time. This is a standard great witch.

And at this moment, all this mana obeys the will of the Home Witch, the sword master, as if it were her own mana from the beginning...

As for the Home Witch's own pitiful 70,000 mana...

*Sigh*, because of the mana aggregation transformation effect, those 70,000 little witch mana points are just a few small waves in the torrent of 400,000 great witch mana.

It's just that, as a Demon Sword Princess, Red Shadow's talent specialties are all concentrated on the sword form and the attribute enhancement of the sword master, so her own six-dimensional panel isn't excellent.

A normal ordinary great witch's six-dimensional panel should be at B-level, excellent ones can reach A-level, and a small number of geniuses can touch the scope of S-level. But Red Shadow's panel is almost all C, and only the precision reached S due to years of hard training in sword techniques, which can be said to be biased to the extreme, and her own combat power is somewhat dragging.

But it doesn't matter. Although Dorothy lacks mana, she doesn't lack a six-dimensional panel.

Especially now that she has obtained the blessing of Red Shadow's abyss demon power, her panel has gone a step further.

【Strength: S】

【Speed: S】

【Constitution: S】

【Spirit: S】

【Inspiration: SS】

【Precision: SS】

*Hmm*, this is a proper panel monster, to the extent that an ordinary great witch would call out "there's a hack" at a glance.

And such an exaggerated panel combined with the attribute bonus brought by more than 400,000 mana really gave Dorothy the illusion that everything was under control, making her feel a bit inflated with pleasure.

*Below the peak, I am invincible; above the peak... forget it, this really won't work, can't one-for-one. *

But in short, *who else? *

Therefore, facing the fat lord who was crushing toward her, the Home Witch raised her head.

Above her head, a pair of red long horns like deer antlers slowly grew out, and numerous diamond-shaped blood crystals floated behind her, arranged neatly, forming a perfectly symmetrical circle.

She slowly raised the Red Shadow in her hand, and the sword intent of Musou Isshin was attached to it.

And the muscles of her right hand holding the sword suddenly expanded, but quickly shrank back, but the entire arm emitted scorching steam.

This is the Dragon's War Technique she created in the Witch's Night—Dragon Demon Super Release.

Of course, in the Witch's Night, her body was soaked in life stock solution for hundreds of years, which allowed her to use this self-harming stunt without any burden. But now that she has returned to reality, she cannot be so unscrupulous in squandering her life force.

However, a ten-fold release won't work, but a five-fold release is no problem.

Although this still brought powerful burdens to her body, her bones were almost crushed into fragments by this violent power in that instant, and the expanded muscles almost couldn't hold on and directly broke themselves. But there were several blood crystals in the blood crystal circle behind her that shattered, and in a flash, they repaired her arm almost completely.

This is Red Shadow's power.

Red Shadow has the ability to connect to the abyss blood sea and borrow the power of the blood sea bed that nurtures countless demons.

The blood crystals behind the Home Witch at this moment are all the blood sea power that Red Shadow absorbs bit by bit from the abyss blood sea on weekdays.

Most demons are born from the blood sea. Therefore, besides being able to pollute and erode other people's power and weapons, this blood sea power also has the power to nourish demons and heal demons.

Now that the Home Witch has temporarily borrowed Red Shadow's power to transform into a Dragon Demon, she can enjoy the healing effects of these blood crystals.

It's just that, after all, it's the power of a demon. Although the healing effect of these blood crystals is good, it doesn't stop the pain at all. Even this healing process is painful, as if someone is using pliers and a stapler to re-staple your broken muscles and bones, and finally pouring a bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid on it for disinfection.

*What kind of demon doctor is this? *

The self-harm of Dragon Demon Super Release is painful enough, and now this treatment is double the pain. Plus, Dorothy is a sensitive constitution...

*Hmm*, this taste, sour and refreshing.

Dorothy's face twisted in an instant, almost causing the makeup on her face to fall off, but in the next instant, she returned to calm, only the corners of her eyes twitched occasionally, and a few blue veins bulged on her forehead.

The Fairy King substitute, who works hard without complaint, has come online. The will of the Unyielding Zhai Wuhun suppressed the pain that was enough to make people die of pain, and even transformed this pain into the power of indignation, blessing it on this next strike.

Any pain that cannot defeat me will become my power. This is the most powerful power of the Unyielding Zhai Wuhun.

"Dragon's Breath, Seventh Form: Dragon Raises Its Head."

The Home Witch took a deep breath, then looked coldly at the ugly fat woman who was already close at hand, just posing in a thrusting posture.

And the blood-colored mist wrapped around the Red Shadow blade also transformed into the shape of a small dragon-snake, wrapping around the sword body.

"Hoo..."

Dorothy slowly exhaled the turbid air in her lungs. The warm airflow turned into white mist at her lips, just like the steam leaking from a steam whistle.

And with the rhythm of breathing, the Home Witch thrust out a sword, and then her body moved with the sword.

Thus, the blood-colored dragon-snake that was originally wrapped around the sword body whistled out with the sword momentum, growing in the wind, and in a few moments, it expanded into a terrifying long dragon. This long dragon wrapped the Home Witch who was thrusting out.

This dragon-shaped sword energy lowered its head, the sharp dragon horns on its head overlapping with the Home Witch's blade, rushing forward against the front.

Master Kameda, who was facing her: "..."

She couldn't understand why a weakling with only 70,000 mana points in her perception a few breaths ago had suddenly become so terrifying.

*Is this reasonable? This is not reasonable at all. *

But now was not the time to pursue whether it was reasonable or not. Looking at the blood-colored long dragon rushing toward her, Kameda was like facing a great enemy.

The samurai's perception told her that dodging at this distance was impossible; she could only resist hard, and if she didn't do her best, she would die...

*Die! *

This scarlet and terrifying word appeared in her mind, causing this noble witch to calm down immediately. The indignation from her daughter's death suddenly disappeared.

After all, although her daughter was precious, she could be born again if she was gone. If she died herself, then everything would be gone.

Fortunately, she wasn't like the vast majority of nobles who only knew how to seek pleasure while ignoring their own strength. Kameda also belonged to the powerful faction among many nobles.

This point could be seen from her ugly and fat appearance.

A witch's appearance is generally proportional to her strength, both beautiful and ugly, especially the ugly ones.

Ugly women among ordinary witches can be considered small beauties among mortals. As an extraordinary race, witches have a quite high lower limit guarantee for their appearance.

So, if a witch is ugly in a strange way, then this shows that this guy is definitely not very normal.

If mortal nobles only seek pleasure without exercising, it's easy to become this kind of round fat pig.

But the extraordinary constitution of witches, who can live without eating, destined that obesity is quite a difficult thing for them.

Eating too much ordinary food absolutely cannot make them fat. Eating too much high-level food rich in mana might make them fat, but as long as the witch completely digests the mana in those foods, she will still quickly become thin again.

Just like Dorothy, whose stomach can be round after every meal, but after a while, she returns to a water-snake waist.

Wanting to make a witch permanently fat, besides some special curses and diseases, it's probably just a talent constitution problem...

That is, the evolution template.

For example, giant witches are all tall, barbarian witches are born with eight-pack abs, and dwarf witches even grow beards. These are the side effects of the evolution template, and it's quite difficult to eliminate them before the strength reaches the point where they can break free from the template restrictions and grow freely.

And witches are all women, and which woman doesn't love beauty? There is only one possibility for a template that makes a witch willing to pay the price of becoming ugly to evolve, and that is that it is really strong.

Kameda is like this.

Her evolution template is named Black Water Mysterious Turtle, a descendant of the Xuanwu, one of the four divine beasts of the East, belonging to the top-level demon.

From the beautiful appearance of her daughter Ikumi, it can be seen that Kameda was actually quite beautiful originally. But ever since she found the Immortal Secret Transmission of the Black Water Mysterious Turtle from the ancestral records, she spent a huge amount of mana to forcibly use this as her evolution template.

It's just that mana and the spiritual power required by immortal methods are ultimately slightly different. She finally succeeded in refining the "Black Water Mysterious Technique," but she didn't completely succeed. Power was obtained, but beauty couldn't return.

The originally beautiful witch became the fat and ugly appearance she is now.

It was precisely because of this disfigurement that Kameda's personality became more and more twisted, liking to torture others for fun. She especially liked to torture beauties.

However, she did indeed have the strength to act recklessly. The strength obtained at the cost of beauty was worth more than the price.

She, who was originally just an ordinary great witch, now belongs to the titled great witch after success, belonging to the top layer of great witches. Her strength, especially her defense, is ranked among the top on the entire Yingzhou Continent.

"Mysterious Turtle Spirit Armor, protect my body."

Seeing that the blood-colored long dragon was about to rush in front of her, Kameda roared thus, and then her hands and limbs directly retracted into the fat all over her body, and the whole person turned into a round meat-egg chariot.

And the fat all over her body suddenly became hard, vaguely turning into the appearance of a turtle shell.

Just at the moment the turtle shell took shape, the blood-colored long dragon had already crashed over. The sharp dragon horns collided with the hard turtle shell, emitting a loud noise that shook the night sky.

And the shockwave of the collision between the two also radiated in all directions, blowing the samurai and villager captives not far away until they were swaying.

Fortunately, everyone was a witch. If it were fragile mortals here, they might really be shattered by this aftermath.

Fortunately, the outcome of this collision was quickly decided. As the red long dragon suddenly raised its head, the sharp dragon horns picked upward, and the solid turtle shell immediately transmitted a sound of shattering, and then was picked into the air.

"Dragon's Breath, Fourth Form: Rising Dragon Overlord."

After the blood-colored long dragon raised its head, it was a winding upward movement, sweeping the turtle shell into the high sky.

"Damn it, how dare you humiliate me like this."

A roar came from the turtle shell, and then the limbs that had retracted into the turtle shell stretched out like snakes, with sharp blades hanging on each hand and foot.

These sharp blades danced as the turtle shell rotated. Each sword seemed to be dancing wildly, but they all contained exquisite sword techniques.

It's just...

"Dragon's Breath, Eighth Form: Wandering Dragon Playing with Pearl."

The violent red dragon rolled in the sky, its serpentine body twisting and crashing against the turtle shell, while the Home Witch inside the red dragon brandished her great katana, each strike precisely blocking the chaotic sword techniques of the Profound Turtle, and then reflecting that power right back.

Thus, it was as if the red dragon was circling and treating this mysterious turtle like a toy ball, constantly bumping into it. Every dragon scale on the dragon body was slippery, making it impossible for the mysterious turtle to start, but instead, it was constantly scratched by the sharp edges of the dragon scales. In this continuous offensive, it could never land.

Finally, the wildly dancing sharp blades of the mysterious turtle were corroded by the blood energy overflowing from the dragon scales, and ultimately couldn't bear the burden and shattered. The hard turtle shell also ultimately couldn't resist the continuous attacks and cracked messily.

"Dragon's Breath, Ninth Form: Heaven-Soaring Dragon Flash."

Finally, in the red dragon shadow, Dorothy held the sword with both hands, and after another burst of muscle expansion and contraction, she, whose corners of her mouth were twitching, slashed down with force.

Dragon Demon Super Release, ten-fold release.

Thus, the flying dragon fell and crashed again. The violent power pushed the turtle shell like a meteorite and smashed it heavily toward the ground, directly turning the entire castle below into ruins.

After the dust in the sky dissipated, a tall figure walked out carrying a lump of rotten meat.

At this time, the blood crystal circle behind Dorothy had almost been exhausted. God knows how many times she had used Dragon Demon Super Release just now.

There was no way; the turtle shell was truly hard. If she didn't super-release, she could only scrape it.

Fortunately, these blood sea blood crystals weren't one-time consumables. They would recover after Red Shadow re-absorbed power from the blood sea.

Or...

Looking at the hard turtle shell that had been smashed to pieces, and Kameda, whose limbs and head that had originally retracted into the turtle shell were exposed, the Home Witch swung her sword without emotion.

Thus, an ugly human head rolled, and finally rolled to the front of the group of samurai and villagers who hadn't recovered their senses in the open space not far away.

Everyone looked at the ugly head that died with eyes wide open, and then looked at the terrible swordsman whose dragon horns on her head were drifting with the wind, and whose tall dragon-demon body began to shrink, finally returning to its normal shape.

"The lord of this place is dead. Do you still want to continue to be loyal?"

The swordsman, whose eyes were red from killing, swept across the group of samurai and asked thus.

Qian Bao is intimidating...

*Sigh*, still don't know how to write cool battles, so hard to write, just make do with it.
