Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi swore this was the fastest self-healing she had ever seen. Those were several penetrating wounds. For an ordinary person, those few wounds would have been fatal, perhaps even instantly deadly. But this Phoenix Girl? Her healing speed was so rapid that Lin Zhenxi barely even realized what was happening. In a split second, her previously damaged body was restored to its original state.

Isn't this ridiculous? Even if you're a phoenix, you should be able to regenerate after death, not just instantly recover from damage.

If it weren't for the fragments of internal organs that fell to the ground, Lin Zhenxi would probably have thought he was hallucinating.

Uh, wait a minute…

Lin Zhenxi suddenly remembered Kaguya Houraisan’s request. She didn’t seem to say that she wanted to defeat the Phoenix?

What is offal soup? Isn't it just a soup made with minced meat? Are these sparse, sticky, black, bloody pieces of flesh scattered on the ground the ingredients for offal soup?

So, in fact, she only needs to keep injuring the Phoenix Girl, and then collect enough flesh and blood fragments, and then she can report to Kaguya Houraisan?

That's probably it. After all, expecting these Light Maidens under Lin Zhenxi to actually defeat the Phoenix Girl is completely unrealistic. With this level of body regeneration ability, I'm afraid even if the head is lost, it can grow back. How can we fight them? Isn't that ridiculous?

Fighting a war of attrition with this type of enemy was foolish, as their regeneration rate far outstripped the Light Maiden's damage. No matter how badly they were beaten, they could recover in a moment. However, in order to attack the Phoenix Girl's true form, Lin Zhenxi's sub-Light Maiden had to sacrifice her own life.

Furthermore, in order to contain the Phoenix Girl's movements, the Light Girl's main shield could not be stopped, and its strength had to be guaranteed. The strength of the shield was linked to the number of Light Girls behind her. If the number was too small, the shield would collapse, and there would be no hope.

While maintaining the protective shield, it is necessary to send as many small-sized Light Ladies as possible to carry out self-sacrificing attacks, and obtain flesh and blood fragments from the Phoenix Girl at the cost of their lives.

This time, the soldiers really became expendable. Although Lin Zhenxi felt a little reluctant, she really had no other choice.

After all, she was huddled in the safety of the rear, observing the battle through the Eye of Truth rune. She had no reason or right to dictate to the Daughters of Light, who were locked in a bloody battle with the Phoenix Girl. They were risking their lives to fulfill Lin Zhenxi's needs. If Lin Zhenxi wasn't satisfied and continued to criticize them, she would be going too far.

After a period of stalemate, the ground was already covered with bloody fragments of the Phoenix Girl's fallen flesh. Lin Zhenxi also felt that it was almost time, so he ordered the Light Girl through the mental link to collect the bloody fragments and retreat.

At this point, because the number of smaller Maidens of Light was significantly reduced, it was becoming quite difficult for the Maiden of Light to maintain the shield. To maintain the shield's strength, she had no choice but to reduce its area, until the phoenix-shaped flames completely enveloped the shield and were close to bypassing its front.

The protective shield of the Daughters of Light only protects their front, leaving no protection behind. If the flames invade from the sides and rear, the entire combined protective shield will collapse.

But in order to collect the fragments on the ground, the Girl of Light had to push the protective shield forward, completely crashing into the embrace of the Phoenix Flame, pushing the Phoenix Girl away from the center of the battlefield.

The phoenix flame finally blazed over from behind the protective shield and began to burn the small-sized maidens of light at the back of the team.

Just when Lin Zhenxi began to worry about how the Girl of Light would get rid of the contact with the Girl of Phoenix, the Girl of Light also took the next step immediately.

She pushed the kite shield in her hand out.

The Kite Shield supported the shield and continued to advance, pushing the Phoenix Girl's body backward. However, after leaving the Light Girl's palm, the area of ​​the shield supported by the Kite Shield quickly shrank. Although the distance increased slightly, without the shield's protection, the Phoenix Flame immediately swept over and began to damage the smaller Light Girl standing further out.

But now is not the time to worry about these casualties, because the next order given by the Girl of Light is even more cruel.

The formation disbanded, completely abandoning defense, and rushed to grab the flesh and blood fragments of the Phoenix Girl on the ground, taking them and running away, as many as possible would be a good escape.

At the command of the Maiden of Light, all the smaller Maidens of Light dropped their spears and shields, rushed to the ground, grabbed the bloody fragments on the ground in the overwhelming flames, and then struggled to fly out of the battlefield.

Without the suppression of the protective shield, the Phoenix flames began to expand wildly. In the constantly rolling flames, the bodies of the small girls of light were constantly ignited and turned into ashes in mid-air.

Lin Zhenxi watched this scene and inexplicably felt like crying. Although these small-scale Daughters of Light could only produce six soulless consumables per minute, their selfless dedication and absolute loyalty to their mission still moved her to tears.

Just as Lin Zhenxi was overwhelmed with emotion, her vision suddenly went dark. Then, her magic pool began to ripple once more, a small layer disappearing, and the light ball of the Maiden of Light floated out from her chest and expanded once more.

Good man, you, the front-line commander, were also burned to death by the Phoenix Girl's fire, right? This battle was really a complete collapse at the end.

After the Lady of Light finished unfolding, she knelt on one knee again and apologized to Lin Zhenxi, saying, "I'm sorry, Master. My failure has brought shame upon you again."

While the Lady of Light wasn't looking down at him, Lin Zhenxi quickly rolled her eyes. So, what's the point of your apology? When it came time to die, you didn't hesitate at all.

But she certainly wouldn't blame the Lady of Light for this. After all, the Lady of Light was truly desperate, even risking her own life, and even consuming Lin Zhenxi's magic power to revive her. For someone who was so dedicated to Lin Zhenxi's affairs, what else could Lin Zhenxi say about her?

Besides, the primary cause of the Maiden of Light's multiple deaths wasn't her fault. Her opponents were all renowned and powerful figures from the Garden of the Dead. While those in the Celebration World were merely projections, their strength was far beyond Lin Zhenxi's reach. How could she expect the Maiden of Light to do better than Lin Zhenxi herself?

So, here it goes…

Lin Zhenxi pulled the Daughter of Light up from the ground, re-engraved the rune of the Eye of Truth on her visor, and then asked her to take all the newly produced small-sized Daughters of Light with her and return to the Lost Bamboo Forest.

With the death of the Maiden of Light, Lin Zhenxi lost control of the situation within the Lost Bamboo Forest. However, before the Maiden of Light's death, a number of smaller Maidens of Light had already left the battlefield, carrying the bloody remains of the Phoenix Girl. Without their leader, these soldiers would likely remain in place and wait. As long as the Maiden of Light reorganized them, she could then lead these "scumbags" to confront Kaguya of Hourai Mountain.

The Daughter of Light took off with all the smaller Daughters of Light she had produced during the recent period at the Sunflower Field. Although Lin Zhenxi's newly accumulated wealth was far less substantial than her previous one due to the short time available, the rate of six per minute wasn't too slow, so she still managed to amass over two hundred. If they took off together, it would still be a dense mass.

If you stick together like this, at least you don't have to worry about being snatched away by an unknown monster passing by while flying.

It's no wonder that Lin Zhenxi has such worries. After all, she herself has been in this state before. She was even nervous when walking on a forest trail, for fear that a talking monster would jump out from the woods beside the road and chew and swallow her like a snack.

While things were a bit better now, they were only marginal. After all, she could only defeat Cirno. Bullying a little fool wasn't much of an accomplishment. Anyway, if Lin Zhenxi were to fight those powerful projections of "Mochizuki" with mosaics covering their faces, she could probably only guarantee she wouldn't be killed. Want to win? Dream on.

After all, the string world is really useful. Once she hides in it, she can jump out of the celebration world directly. Naturally, those people or things that exist based on the celebration world will no longer be able to interfere with her.

Lin Zhenxi brought out a lounge chair and sat at the door of the Western-style house in the sunflower field that she couldn't enter. She lay down on it, basking in the sun and once again shifted her focus to the Girl of Light.

The sunflower field and the Lost Bamboo Forest were not far apart, and the Maiden of Light and her companions were numerous and powerful, so no blind monsters came to trouble them, and they arrived at the Lost Bamboo Forest smoothly.

The straight passage left by the bamboo wall they had previously demolished is still there, which makes sense. If the cut bamboos grew back in the blink of an eye, there might be something dirty in this bamboo forest.

Following this straight passage, the Daughter of Light and the others returned to the entrance of the Eternal Pavilion, but were once again blocked by the colorful magic barrier.

Arriving at the Eternal Pavilion, they had only completed half of the journey, because next they had to look for the small-sized Light Maidens who were holding the odds and ends dropped by the Phoenix Girl. The next journey would be even more difficult, because the Light Maidens had the guiding shells given by Kaguya of Mount Hourai in their hands. Now it was not an easy task to find the path they had taken in the lost bamboo forest which was like a giant maze.

Uh, what is this? Lin Zhenxi noticed something glittering on the ground and asked the Lady of Light to pick it up. It turned out to be another shell.

No, to be precise, this should be the shell that Kaguya Hourai gave to the Girl of Light before, which will react to the Phoenix Girl.

Shouldn't this thing have dropped when the Maiden of Light died? How did it end up at the entrance of the Eternal Pavilion? It even happened to glow and was seen by the Maiden of Light. This can't be a coincidence, right?

So, has Kaguya Houraiyama actually been monitoring every move of the Girl of Light team?

Probably.
