Witch Special

At this critical moment, Xilan naturally took a step forward, stood in front of Alice, lowered his body and made a sword-drawing and slashing move.

No way, is this guy planning to use his own mortal body to withstand the collective charge of the Daughter of Light?

This is indeed the case. After a very short period of accumulating strength, Xilan's body began to dance rapidly with the sword in his hand.

Lin Zhenxi could only describe it as "dance", because from Lin Zhenxi's perspective, Xilan's movements were quite blurry, and his body was swinging so fast that Lin Zhenxi couldn't even see it clearly, and it looked like dancing.

The sword in Xilan's hand also cut through the air and even the space, directly chopping the space in front of him into pieces. Such spatial fragments continued to spread forward until they hit the phantoms of the lances of the Ladies of Light.

This man could actually split the space in front of him with just the katana in his hand. Lin Zhenxi felt that the scene before her could no longer be described as abstract or outrageous. This kind of thing completely challenged her understanding of the space-time system. Ordinary swords were just objects in space. How could they possibly destroy the space that held the swords?

But that was the reality. Xilan used his katana to create a fragmented area of ​​space. The shadowy lances created by the collective charge of the Daughters of Light were energy entities, and they were truly suppressed by this fragmented space. After all, fragmented space had the property of absorbing energy and self-healing, and it directly absorbed the Daughters of Light's lances.

Even after absorbing the phantom of the lance, these space cracks still did not completely disappear, but turned into a large number of fragmented and narrow space cracks. The key is that they looked quite inconspicuous, which made the space in front of Xilan extremely dangerous. Anything that broke in without the protection of an energy shield would be cut by those dangerous space cracks.

There's no upper limit to the sharpness of such a spatial crack. Any object without energy attached to it, no matter how hard it is, will be cut by the spatial crack. Even the magical armor worn by the Daughters of Light, composed of mana, will be cut by the spatial crack even if it's not infused with mana after the material transformation, leaving only physical properties.

Therefore, the Lady of Light's group charge had to stop, and they confronted Xilan Alice across the broken space area.

Immediately afterwards, without Lin Zhenxi's order, the Girl of Light switched weapons. The Kite Shield Knight's spear in her hand turned into a ball of light and merged together. Then the Girl of Light pulled out a hand cannon of astonishing caliber from the ball of light.

The smaller maidens of light behind the maiden of light also switched their weapons, and then aimed their long-range weapons at Xilan Alice and the other person across the broken space area.

Aimed at over fifty hand cannons, Alice's expression remained unremarkable, but Xilan's nerves were palpable. While he was confident in his swordsmanship, it was only good enough to split a normal bullet. He wasn't brave enough to use a katana to split a cannonball.

That's a cannon, a cannonball, not a bullet!

At that moment, several magic circles suddenly lit up beneath Alice's feet. As the magic circles rose into the air, stick-like puppets were released onto the battlefield. These stick figures wielded various weapons: staves, broadswords, oriental staffs, and crosses. While none carried firearms, they were generally of the type typical of a fantasy world.

"Alice, these puppets..." Xilan looked at these stick figures that moved so agilely that they didn't look like puppets at all. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at his companions.

Alice's eyes were a little empty, as she needed to concentrate on controlling the magic puppets. However, she hadn't completely lost her sense of the outside world. Sensing Xilan's gaze, she said, "I made these puppets myself. They have nothing to do with that woman."

Could there be more to this story? Lin Zhenxi watched the stick figures controlled by Alice and the Lady of Light's army engage in a fight, and couldn't help but feel curious about the experiences of these two people. It seemed like these two had been through a lot together, and listening to their conversations, it felt like they were deeply connected to the truth of this world.

Alice's puppets were quite powerful. While they were no match for the Maiden of Light alone, they still had Xilan on the other side. The sword master, with his immense mobility, charged directly into the Maiden of Light's ranks, forcing her to abandon her hand cannon and switch to melee weapons to deal with Xilan's sudden attack. Without the Maiden of Light's leadership, Alice's stick figures pinned Hayashi Maki's mini-Maidens of Light to the ground, rendering them powerless to fight back.

Alice's stick figures were so agile they didn't even look like puppets. They moved very smoothly and could even perform a variety of dazzling combat techniques. If Lin Zhenxi hadn't seen with her own eyes that these stick figures were summoned by Alice, she would have suspected that Alice had implanted the souls of some powerful beings into these stick figures, otherwise how could they possess such exquisite skills?

The current situation is that Xilan suppressed the Daughter of Light, and Alice's stickman army suppressed the small Daughter of Light. Judging from the situation alone, it is unfavorable for Lin Zhenxi's side, but the actual situation is not the case.

"Hey, let me tell you, haven't you realized yet that I don't really want to fight with you." Lin Zhenxi shouted to Xilan on the battlefield and Alice behind him.

Behind Lin Zhenxi, nearly fifty more puppets were on standby. Even though the stick figures had destroyed many of the smaller Maiden of Light, that small loss was of no consequence to Lin Zhenxi. The puppets were a low-cost consumable item, and she could have as many as she wanted.

Even the Daughter of Light was the same. Even if she died, she could be resurrected through Lin Zhenxi's magic. Moreover, it seemed difficult for Xilan to kill the Daughter of Light. Although the Daughter of Light was indeed suppressed, it was not easy for Xilan to defeat or even kill her.

Moreover, the Girl of Light can also call on the nearby small Girls of Light to harass Xilan. Although Alice's stickmen are strong, their number is not as many as the small Girls of Light. There will always be some small Girls of Light who are not in a state of combat who will come to interfere with Xilan, making it impossible for Xilan to expand the advantage when he clearly has the upper hand, or even to eliminate the Girls of Light.

As Lin Zhenxi spoke, all the Maidens of Light, regardless of size, left the battlefield and rearranged themselves into a neat square formation in front of Lin Zhenxi. The small figures behind Lin Zhenxi transformed mid-air and joined the formation, bringing the number of small Maidens of Light to around fifty.

In other words, the two sides fought for quite some time, but apart from consuming a lot of magic power and physical strength, they did not achieve any actual results.

Xilan was already panting. It seemed that such a long and intense battle had taken a toll on a close combatant like him. As for Alice, she must have lost a lot of magic power as well, as her magic power fluctuations were somewhat unstable.

Lin Zhenxi's magic power had actually been depleted quite a bit, perhaps 40%. Maintaining the activities of fifty small puppets wasn't exactly easy. Lin Zhenxi called a halt because she felt that continuing was simply a waste of energy and ultimately pointless.

"I have no interest in destroying this world. In fact, I've even planned to leave, and I might be leaving soon. There's no need for you to fight me. Isn't it better for everyone to live in peace? I'm quite curious about your story."

Xilan put the sword back into the scabbard at his waist, then carried the sword on his shoulder with the scabbard attached. He looked with a slightly lazy look at Lin Zhenxi who was standing leisurely behind the army of the Maiden of Light.

"Indeed, we've been fighting for so long, and you haven't shown any killing intent. You really don't look like you want to fight us."

"If it weren't for this, we could actually sit together. If you had some good wine, I wouldn't mind having a good chat with you."

"However, there is a prerequisite, which is that you must leave this world before the direction of this world is completely changed by you."

Lin Zhenxi sighed and said helplessly: "So, when you say changing the world line, what exactly are you changing? I feel like I'm pretty law-abiding in this world. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary."

"How about you just tell me how I would change the world? I won't do it."

Lin Zhenxi was so sincere that Xilan felt a little embarrassed. If you put yourself in their shoes, if they were living happily in their own world, and then someone suddenly jumped out and said they would drastically change the direction of the world in the future and wanted to take them away from their own world, they would definitely not be happy, right?

However, just when Xilan was about to soften her attitude, Alice's voice came from the side: "Xilan, don't reveal the future."

Xilan's expression froze for a moment, then he scratched his messy hair in embarrassment and shouted to Lin Zhenxi, "Excuse me, little girl. Although we know what the future should be like, we can't just say it casually. It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really not allowed."

"But this will bring us back to square one. If we keep fighting, we won't be able to be so friendly."

As he spoke, Lin Zhenxi spread out the Witch Book in his hand, and one of the pages flew out of the book and stopped above Lin Zhenxi's head.

"I'm very interested in your experiences. Take my magic barrage and let's have a good chat after we become friends."
