Chapter 3715: The Promoted Witch

~10 min read 1,858 words

"What happened? Is promotion so simple?"

The witch thought confusedly. She was still in the thick fog, and she seemed to have never left this fog, but the feeling of hugging herself tightly just now was so real, and the new power was certainly not false.

This power was completely the power of ice and snow inherited from the Fatum people, and it was even more profound than the power mastered by the great elders today. At this moment, Claire, who had just entered the 12th tier, even had a feeling that even if her witch level and the power of the sun were not improved, the five great elders combined might not be able to beat her.

"Speaking of which, where are Megan and Ellie?"

She patted the snow on her skirt and stood up, looking at the thick fog around her and constantly communicating with the "another me" in her ear. The acquisition of the 【Faith】 spiritual rune made her inexplicably have the ability to see through this fog. The lost fog could no longer block the witch who was determined to become the protagonist of her own story.

She couldn't find Xia De, Ellie, and Megan for the time being, but at least she found the way to leave here. After flying to the high altitude, using the power of elementalization obtained after being pierced by Xia De's arrow last time to temporarily shed her flesh and blood, her body disintegrated into ice-blue frost in the air and flew toward the higher altitude.

The area covered by the fog was obviously larger than when everyone left just now. When Claire finally broke through this lost fog, she found that she had even arrived at a position not far from the summit of the "Peak of Fate".

At this time, the ritual of "Great Movement of Fate" was still going on. Breaking away from the fog, one could clearly hear the performance of the grand movement, but one could also see the fog group that was circling with Professor Danister and the others outside the transparent shield supported by the summit.

The man with the 【Lost】 ring was trying to let the thick fog swallow this ritual venue. His power was far inferior to the two 13th-tier female sorcerers, but he and the Lovers had a common characteristic—very good at escaping.

"Lost One" hid in the fog he summoned and never revealed his figure. Although he was beaten and ran away by Danister and Miss Ingram, this did not affect the fog drifting from below the snowy mountain to here.

He only needed to ensure that he would not die, and letting the fog swallow this ritual venue was victory.

But this stalemate could only be maintained until Claire's appearance. The ice-blue light rushed into the fog group that even the two female sorcerers were a bit wary of. The man hidden in the fog didn't even react, and the frost gas almost froze his spirit, and then the ice-blue arc that flashed sent him to death.

The frozen corpse fell toward the bottom, rolling on the steps of the mountain climbing for a while before stopping. Claire appeared from the fog group that dissipated with some surprise. The power she suddenly mastered during promotion was even easier to use than she imagined.

"Promoted?"

Danister asked, but before Claire could answer, she arrived next to the corpse first. The corpse of "Lost One" was lifted and shaken by an invisible force. It was a pity that what fell out of the corpse was only a white 【Lost】 curved arc, and the complete Ring of Fate had disappeared with his demise.

"Sure enough, there is no such good thing. Where are the God-Caller, the other witch, and that little unicorn?"

When Claire and Miss Ingram landed, Sylvia, who was responsible for supporting the shield to block the fog, asked Claire. Danister stuffed the curved arc directly into her hand. The 【Nightmare Witch】 raised her eyebrows, but since the Orthodox Church did not have its own candidate, and defeating this enemy relied on Claire's power, she didn't say anything more.

"We found a twilight scenery of 'Before the End', but got lost in the thick fog when we arrived. It was the fog created by this man with the Ring of Fate. Then the three of us got separated in the fog, I was alone..."

"Ang~"

Ellie's cry appeared from high above. The four people on the steps looked up. The little unicorn landed first, followed by Xia De and Megan holding hands.

Seeing that Claire was fine, Xia De also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the phantom of the Ancient God promised to help Claire, he was still worried after meeting Megan and Ellie in the fog without seeing the platinum-haired girl:

"Before the End has been temporarily sealed. Let the church take care of it temporarily after the ritual... Promoted, right?"

He asked Claire, who was holding the curved arc, with a smile. Claire was still confused about what happened in this short hour:

"Yes, promoted."

"Then is it over here? Do we need to go and see the situation in other locations on the island? Is there any news from other places?"

Xia De asked Danister and Miss Ingram. Claire looked at Xia De who had just let go of Megan's hand, and then looked at Megan, who was smiling and didn't know what cheap thing she had picked up, and was looking at her with concern. The joy that had just risen in the heart of the Great Witch of the Sun immediately dissipated a lot.

It seems that although she is determined to become the protagonist of her own life story, she still has to face great challenges if she wants to invite another male protagonist to become a part of her life.

Of course, it was not just the summit that was attacked during the ritual, but the locations where holders of the "Ring of Fate" appeared were only the summit and the ritual site on the sea in the northwest of the island. The core musician corresponding to the latter was Miss Aisberg, and they also successfully repelled the enemy.

Mr. Snake did plan the attack on the "Great Movement of Fate", but in Xia De's view, these attacks were quite perfunctory. Compared with the previous plans and conspiracies that were interlocked and arranged years in advance, Mr. Snake did not seem to attach much importance to the story of the Sixth Act.

Even on this Monday afternoon, when everyone returned to the Glorious Messenger, Xia De asked Luvia:

"Did the Sixth Act really end like this?"

"Of course, didn't you just see the dice Stella got?"

The purple-eyed girl asked curiously:

"Why do you feel it hasn't ended yet?"

"Is it too simple? The enemy was easily solved. Although it caused some trouble, the impact was immediately extinguished... Does Mr. Snake want to curl up to prepare for the final battle?"

"But just today, two new erosion areas appeared on the island. And although there were only two attackers holding the Ring of Fate, other places also encountered other types of attacks and had casualties. I find it hard to understand your feeling of not being at ease when things are clearly over."

Luvia said, but she and Bella still divined, and then confirmed that the story of the Sixth Act had indeed ended.

The smooth holding of the "Great Movement of Fate" ritual successfully stabilized the restless elemental environment above the island after the failure of the "All Souls Festival" ritual. But because of the two impacts of fate and the "Before the End" area that appeared on the island, even after the comfort of the ritual, the situation of Fatumonster Island is not optimistic at the moment.

In addition to the holders of the Ring of Fate, there were also some "Pseudo-Ring Beasts", infinite snakes, and other strange things with curved arcs that appeared during the War of the Lovers. Now the church named them "Fate Beasts", a simple name but easy to understand.

But these things are not worth noting today. What is worth noting is the two brand-new erosion areas that appeared today. This kind of calamity that cannot be eliminated by any means is what the church is most worried about.

Xia De did not tell anyone about meeting the "Dancer", only mentioning that he picked up a gold coin.

He mainly focused on the traders holding the Ring of Fate under "Mr. Snake". Counting the demons (Resurrection), Lovers (Fool), Lost One (Lost) who had already exited, and the strange woman holding the 【Imbalance】 fate who was repelled but not killed by Miss Aisberg and the others, four of Snake's traders had already appeared, but this was definitely not all the manpower under Mr. Snake.

And what the witches returning from all over the island cared about most was of course Claire's promotion.

"You were always worried some time ago. I said you would be promoted to 12th tier sooner or later. After meeting Xia De, except for Sylvia who was only 10th tier, didn't they all promote to 12th tier? What? Not 12th tier yet? But the sorcerer level has improved, and the witch level will definitely be promoted soon."

Xi Wei wanted to hold a celebration banquet on the ship, both to celebrate the smooth end of the Sixth Act and to celebrate Claire's promotion. But it was a pity that Xia De had important matters in Yodel Palace tonight, so he would not attend tonight's celebration banquet.

"Sixth Act, will it really end so easily?"

He still had such doubts, and on this evening before Xia De went home to prepare his clothes, Claire found him in the courtyard of the snowy mountain hall.

Everyone was very busy in the afternoon. Although the ritual ended, the problems that emerged were more than before the ritual. Claire took her apprentices and the elders to observe the environment of the snowy mountain after the ritual, and ran to find Xia De as soon as she came back.

When she pushed open the door from the banquet hall to the courtyard, she was still thinking about the surprise and joy of her grandfather and others when they heard that she had been promoted to 12th tier. Then she saw Xia De standing in the courtyard with a cat on his shoulder. At this moment, the man and the cat were looking up at the sunset on the side of the snowy mountain.

The setting sun reflected Xia De and Little Mia golden, so the witch subconsciously slowed down her pace, fearing that she would disturb the scene in front of her. But Xia De, who heard the footsteps, still turned his head. After seeing it was Claire, he showed a smile:

"I was just thinking about saying a few words to you before going back."

He raised his hand and patted the little head of Little Mia on his shoulder:

"How does it feel to be promoted to 12th tier?" ===== CHAPTER 3716 =====
