Chapter 4058: The Awaited Witch

"Mr., is this time's enemy still the House of Falsehoods?"

Helen asked curiously, while Grace examined the black tower before them. But Xia De shook his head, briefly explaining the current situation, and then gave the Red Butterfly girls their first task:

"While the Falsehoods' maze has not yet unfolded in the material world, go help me check how much longer the *Radiant Messenger* will take to arrive."

"Are we going to find the Thirteenth-Tier Great Witch? No problem!"

So, holding hands, the girls left together. Xia De then said to Winnie:

"I will enter the maze first in a moment. Winnie, you and Ellie stay outside for now. Once Vanessa or Xivi arrives, have Ellie send them to me. Do not let Grace and Helen enter the maze; they are to remain outside as support."

As long as the Red Butterfly girls were there, even if the Falsehoods wanted to play tricks, Xia De would at least be able to leave the maze.

"Xia De! Let's go together!"

Ellie clearly wanted to go with Xia De, but Winnie stroked her cheek, stopping her, and then nodded gently to Xia De:

"Then please take care of yourself. I will wait for your return."

The blood-colored city reflected in the blood-red sky became increasingly clear. There was no scent of blood in the rain, but when Viggo stood at the main entrance of the City Hall and saw the entire city dyed blood-red under the washing of the blood rain, she briefly wondered if she had run to some other strange place.

Most of the ancient buildings in the Arcadia Upper City were made of white stone, and this building material was more easily stained blood-red.

The woman wearing leather items who had appeared in the City Hall had already been captured. Now finally permitted to return home, Viggo felt no joy; she very much wanted to know what had happened this time.

The blood rain came from that illusory city suspended in the clouds. Although no components harmful to the human body had been detected in the blood rain, the Church's Ringed Shushi, who had just lifted the City Hall's martial law, still advised people here not to return home through the rain now.

But it was impossible for Viggo to wait here. Fortunately, the House of Fragrance was not far from the City Hall. After borrowing a carriage, she took her personal maid and returned home.

By this time, Miss Luolin had already taken people to support Xia De at Schluch Lake, while Miss MacDonald remained in the mansion. Seeing her teacher return, the tall girl immediately informed the Great Witch of the current situation:

"Mr. Watson left half an hour ago, Teacher. The carriage to Schluch Lake has also been prepared."

As she spoke, she handed a small bottle of blood brew to Viggo. Viggo drank all the blood brew in the bottle in one gulp, and her complexion recovered its rosy color at a speed visible to the naked eye:

"Falsehoods... Let's go. We will meet up with Laura first. This really is a huge commotion."

She didn't even go to change her clothes before wanting to set off again, but just before leaving, she remembered another matter:

"Has Galina's grandniece arrived?"

"Not yet."

"We can't worry about her now. Arrange for someone to wait for her in the mansion, and tell her not to leave the house once she arrives. Let's set off now. I hope we are still in time."

The carriage then passed through the blood rain, driving all the way toward Schluch Lake under that blood-colored sky. Although what Viggo drank was not Xia De's fresh blood but only blood brew, this was enough for her to cast a clever illusion to conceal this speeding carriage.

Along the way, she did not communicate much with her student, only looking worriedly at the blood-red sky outside the carriage window. Although the "Falsehoods" had nothing to do with Viggo, she could inexplicably feel that the phantom of the blood-colored city in the sky was gradually becoming solid.

"I remember they mentioned in the Council that the 【House of Falsehoods】 could release a maze on a scale comparable to the 'Gap of Life and Death'."

Viggo said suddenly. Miss MacDonald was currently using alchemical items to determine the location of Miss Luolin and the others who had set off earlier; the strong interference of the Whispers element caused the accuracy of the alchemical items to drop severely.

Hearing her teacher's words, she nodded subconsciously, only then understanding what her teacher was worried about:

"Will Mr. Watson break in?"

"He is only at the Tenth Tier, how could he..."

But once these words were spoken, Viggo herself felt she had underestimated him. The abilities Xia De actually displayed did not look like the Tenth Tier at all. Based on Viggo's understanding of Xia De, if necessary, Xia De would truly dare to break into such a dangerous place.

"Make the carriage faster."

When the carriage had just arrived in the Outer City, a dull sound seemed to come from the end of the earth, and then the shaking of the ground made all the girls in the speeding carriage jolt.

Even Miss MacDonald, who was only at the Mid-Tier, could feel the suffocatingly powerful Whispers element suddenly erupting in the distance. Viggo looked out the window again; at this moment, the blood-colored city suspended in the blood-colored clouds had actually disappeared, but this did not mean the Relic had retracted its power:

"The Falsehoods' maze has descended into the material world! Speed up again. Although he might have that Twelfth-Tier maid by his side, a maid is still no match for a witch."

After Viggo's party drove out of the Outer City, they soon successfully met up with Miss Luolin's party, who had set off earlier. The meeting point happened to be the path beside the abandoned farm that Xia De had visited several times.

But it was not that the alchemical items used for mutual contact had worked; in fact, almost all the Ringed Shushi attracted by this matter, including the witch followers, had retreated to this area by now.

"Master, look..."

Viggo jumped off the carriage, and the blood rain above her head automatically parted to the sides. The road was interrupted in front of the carriage, and behind those high-tier witch followers was a sea of blood.

It was as if the desolate area between Schluch Lake and the Arcadia Outer City had been completely submerged by this sea of blood. Standing at the edge of the blood sea and looking into it, blood mist swirled above the blood sea, and a giant flesh-and-blood city stood like an isolated island in the center of the blood sea.

The giant Thousand-Eyed Statue was fighting a flesh-and-blood giant transformed from the Falsehoods' flesh. With Viggo's eyesight, she could only barely see two people standing on the left and right shoulders of the "Giant God Soldier"; one was Hermons, and the other was the Madonna of the Infant, who had provoked Adele to issue a "kill order."

"【Blood Spirit School】 and 【Alliance of the Holy Son】... The Falsehoods' maze and the real world have overlapped, and this maze does not have boundaries set for the outside."

She judged the current situation. Besides Viggo's party, many forces including the Church were watching the interior from the periphery of the maze, but no one wanted to enter the maze to participate in the current battle. Whether the Falsehoods, the Blood Spirit School, or the Alliance of the Holy Son were defeated, the onlookers would only clap and cheer.

"Where is he?"

Viggo looked around in the increasingly fierce blood rain but could not see Xia De's figure, while Miss Luolin reminded her in a low voice:

"Master, he is there."

She pointed to the depths of the blood sea. Viggo squinted her eyes to look carefully, and in the blood mist, there was indeed a small boat advancing toward that flesh-and-blood city.

Xia De stood at the stern of the boat, poling the small boat. The blood sea was not a physical entity but a chaotic space area formed by the fusion of the maze and the material world, yet the small boat still traveled steadily within it.

"He really went in, but why is he alone?"

Viggo said with some panic, and then she heard Miss MacDonald, who was standing behind her, greeting someone in a low and nervous voice. And before Viggo turned her head to look, a hand rested on her shoulder; the Thirteenth-Tier Great Witch could touch her through her clothes:

"Of course he is not alone. He is waiting for me. Maze: Flesh-and-Blood City. Viggo, we once said that the 【House of Falsehoods】 had the potential to become an Unknowable-level Relic; that is because of this."

Beautiful long brown wavy hair appeared in Viggo's peripheral vision, and then the Thirteenth-Tier "Light" Great Witch, Xivi Aurora, walked to her side. Viggo blinked, her brain completely unable to react to why the other party would appear here.

Then, she heard the exclamations of her own girls again.

A beautiful little unicorn followed behind Xivi and also arrived among the girls. Ellie had appeared in the Council before, but unfortunately, Viggo did not have the ability to distinguish the appearance of unicorns, so she failed to recognize at first glance that she had also seen this unicorn once.

Ellie seemed to have quite a good impression of Viggo, tilting her head and rubbing against her skirt to show friendliness. At this moment, Viggo, whose head was muddled, subconsciously wanted to reach out to touch her, but then thought of her own special constitution and hurriedly withdrew her hand.

Only then did Viggo react:

"Xivi, what are you... Why are you here? Wait, who did you just say was waiting for you?"

Xivi tossed her hair and said with a smile:

"Don't be so surprised. There are still many things to surprise you with today. But now is not the time to talk about this. You wait here; I am going to help. Yes, he is waiting for me. Only a Thirteenth-Tier witch can help him."

After she finished speaking, she did not linger. After riding on Ellie, she was carried by Ellie and rushed into the depths of the blood sea. Even without relying on the talent of the "Chosen One of Fate," the unicorns' talent for piercing through space was enough to ensure they could successfully enter the Falsehoods' maze.

"So, is it her?"

Viggo looked in shock at Xivi's back as she rode the unicorn away, feeling that if that person really was Xivi Aurora, it seemed much better than the situation she had expected; she was even somewhat happy.

Then she noticed that the crystal-clear Ice Maid had come to her side. Viggo still wanted to ask more questions, wanting to confirm that the person she had been unable to find was Xivi Aurora.

But Winnie was staring intently at the inside of the maze, and she reminded her in a low voice:

"Look, the miracle of the perfect fusion of heart and heart, flesh and blood, is actually like this."

A loud bell sounded, and in the steam mist behind the departing Xivi, her Thirteenth-Tier Life Ring and Golden Staircase appeared. ===== CHAPTER 4059 =====
