Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"should?"

Elsa glanced over and saw a striking huge crack in the vast snow. It was a cliff, but the snow piled up nearby and no trace of it could be seen.

"let me."

Grace clenched and unclenched her fingers, and a huge ball of fire ignited in the palm of her hand. The next second, the flames spread across the ice and snow in front of her like oil poured on water. In just one breath, the ice and snow melted like butter in the scorching heat.

Kalima's eyelids jumped when she saw this scene. She was a mage herself. Even though she didn't understand Grace's methods, she could guess that this seemingly simple scene was not a skill that ordinary people could master.

Aisha saw it all but remained silent.

This is the "Ashe Witch".

The snow faded away, and Elsa and Grace did not find any signs of fighting.

"Are you sure it's here?"

"how could I know."

Kalima glanced at Aisha.

"I just remember it was roughly here. If you want to ask for more specifics, the heavy snow has covered up all the footprints and everything. It's impossible for anyone to remember - you can't blame me for that."

Kalima sneered in her heart and acted as if it had nothing to do with her.

Normally, she would just pretend to flatter them, but now that the truth had been revealed, she simply refused to bow to humans anymore. She knew that there was no reason for the two people in front of her to let her go—after all, she was a demihuman.

The laws of the empire sound high-sounding, recognizing the status of demihumans and treating their identities fairly. However, the fact is that demihumans are still inferior to humans. Even being judged by the Inquisition is a luxury. They are just demihumans, and no one will care if they are killed.

And Kalima's attitude annoyed Grace.

"You fool me?"

Kalima seemed satisfied with Grace's anger. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm not trying to lie to you. If you don't believe me, isn't she a hypnotist? You can ask her to hypnotize me again and then... uh..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a huge force on her neck - Grace grabbed her and grabbed her. Then her body fell backwards uncontrollably, and the next moment, the feeling of being grounded disappeared.

"If you want to die, I can help you anytime!"

Grace pinched Kalima's neck with one hand, lowered her hoarse voice, rushed to the edge of the cliff in two steps, and pushed Kalima out of the cliff and held her in the air.

"If you can't find them, you'll be buried with them!"

Grace stared at Kalima coldly, the flames in her hands flashing like lightning, as if she could take Kalima's life at any time.

"Uh……"

Kalima bit her lip tightly. Grace's strength was much greater than she had imagined. It didn't seem like the strength that a thin-armed and thin-legged wizard could display. Grace grabbed her neck, and it seemed like her neck was about to break. She could hardly breathe, but she didn't make a sound.

"Let me go..."

Her voice was hoarse and weak, and was blown away by the wind. She slapped Grace's hands hard, but it was of no use.

When she subconsciously glanced down, she saw a bottomless cliff right under her feet. She wanted to struggle and tried to pry Grace's hands apart.

It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid.

But she was not to be outdone, and she raised her eyes and stared straight at Grace.

"If you...want to kill me, just let go now—you don't think...those guys...would be able to survive if they fell from here, right? Ahem—"

She sneered dryly, made a hoarse and unpleasant sound, and started coughing.

"Grace, don't be impulsive."

Aisha stopped Grace, who looked increasingly grim.

Grace did not take any further action.

Kalima probably knew that she was not going to die, so she stopped struggling and stared at Grace.

"Haha, you two... two humans, yet you're pretending to care so much about those guys' lives. Honestly... it's really disgusting..."

Grace's eyes darkened slightly, but before Grace could speak, Elsa kicked her out.

Before Kalima could react, she felt a sudden sense of weightlessness in her chest, followed by an icy wind rising from below and a cliff that rose rapidly from the ground - she fell towards the cliff.

“Aa ...

"There's no point arguing with her. Trying to convince a bigoted person is just a waste of time—the angrier you get, the happier she gets."

Aisha said, Grace looked at her strangely, then glanced away slightly.

"I know it without you having to tell me."

"Okay, let's go down too. Come here."

"what?"

Grace had just turned her head when she met eyes with Elsa who was standing right next to her.

It was really close, so close that Elsa's hair almost blocked her sight - this sudden scene made Grace stunned, and she didn't realize it until she fell into Elsa's arms.

Or a princess hug.

Suddenly, a burning feeling of embarrassment rushed to her head, and Grace subconsciously wanted to push Aisha away.

"Wait, what are you doing! Put me down! Don't touch me, you filthy nun!"

"Stop it," Elsa said. Her shoulders were so strong that no matter how Grace struggled, they remained motionless. "Grace, you don't want her to really fall to her death, do you? If we don't get down, she'll hit the bottom."

Listening to the screams that were getting farther and farther away from the cliff, Grace swallowed, her face flushed, but she remained silent.

……

486. Elsa's Big Sun

The canyon is not wide but very deep. The bottom of the valley is dark and deep, and the pitch blackness makes people feel daunted.

Even Elsa, who had excellent eyesight, couldn't see the bottom at a glance - perhaps it was the falling snowflakes, or perhaps it was something else, the mist blocked Elsa's sight at the surface, and she couldn't see the depths of the cliff, let alone see if there were any traces left by the subhumans below, so Elsa didn't plan to waste time on the cliff from the beginning.

So Kalima was sent down.

"Ya ...

The screams were very loud, and they kept falling into the thick fog. When Kalima thought she was going to fall to her death, Aisha and Grace slowly caught up and grabbed Kalima, who was scared out of her wits in mid-air. Aisha held the pale-faced Kalima with one hand and put her other arm around Grace's waist. The three of them landed steadily and lightly on the ground - or rather, they landed on the thick ice. There was a creaking sound under Aisha's feet, which made her teeth ache.

It was solid ice that covered the entire bottom of the canyon. With Elsa's arrival, dense cracks appeared on the surface of the ice, as if it could break at any time. But looking closely, the cracks continued to spread into the depths of the ice, all the way to the deep black.

You can see that the area under your feet is actually full of water, a lot of water, but it has all been frozen.

Aisha drops Kalima.

"Wow--" Kalima's legs went weak and he immediately fell to the side and started retching.

Aisha ignored Kalima and observed the surroundings.

“There’s such a deep canyon here.”

Elsa withdrew her gaze and looked around again. She found that the area in front and behind her was as deep as the night - there was almost no light at the bottom of the valley, and it was pitch black everywhere, covered with rugged and strange ice and thick, inverted icicles.

Also, there are some dark caves on the side. The caves are very abrupt and regular in shape. They do not look like they were formed naturally, and no one knows where they lead to.

A little further away, there is thick fog and it is difficult to see clearly.

Looking up, the entire canyon looks like a crack that was suddenly cut from the ground by a knife. It is rugged, towering, and as dark and boundless as the abyss. Standing at the bottom of the canyon and looking up, the thousand-foot cliffs seem to be about to collapse, closing in from both sides to the middle, leaving only a very thin, fuzzy bright line.

It was the squeezed sky, but it was not clear because of the thick fog. Only the light could be vaguely seen.

It's clearly a desert, yet there's such a sudden, deep canyon, a canyon with abundant water flow. What a wonderful scenery! Could all this also be the work of the earth veins? Elsa couldn't help but wonder.

So, is the formation of ley lines random? Or is there some other reason...

Ultimately, what are ley lines?

"I didn't expect you to be so gentle to this guy—"

A hoarse but gentle voice interrupted Elsa's thoughts. Elsa retracted her gaze and saw Grace turned away - Grace seemed to be complaining that Elsa was not polite to her at all. After all, the first time Grace was picked up and flown by Elsa, her bones were almost broken and she was thrown around.

Kalima was just frightened. In comparison, Aisha was not very gentle towards Grace.

Elsa couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect you to hold such a grudge?"

"It's just a fresh memory. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to remember anything about you, not at all!" Grace snorted and complained, "--Okay, put me down quickly. You're making it impossible for me to use my anti-cold magic, and I'm very sensitive to the cold."

She urged softly, nudged Elsa's shoulder, and fell silent.

At this moment, half of Grace's body was pressed against Elsa. She was facing Elsa at such a close distance, and this sinful nun who had made her lose her composure time and time again - this made Grace feel uncomfortable all over, as if there were ants crawling around behind her. She knew very well that she didn't like this, but she didn't understand why she was like this.

After all, she is one of the few survivors of the Witch Society, the once terrifying and hateful Ash Witch. She has never been afraid of even decades of suffering, and she has even been prepared to face death. If that's the case, then what is she avoiding in front of Elsa now?

Sure enough, after meeting Vivian and Sophia, has the former Ash Witch become a coward? Grace couldn't help but ask herself.

Elsa didn't notice Grace's thoughts. She kindly reminded her, "Be careful. The ground is all ice and very slippery."

Grace glanced at Aisha and said nothing.

Elsa put Grace down and lit a lighting magic. Suddenly, the bright light illuminated the inky black canyon as bright as day. Grace immediately covered herself with a warm cover. Only Kalima was still shivering on the cold ice.

Elsa tied her wind-blown blonde hair into a simple ponytail, straightened her collar that Grace had messed up, and glanced at Grace. "Are you really afraid of the cold?"

"Yeah." Grace simply brushed her messy gray hair back and squinted her eyes to look around, as if she was also surprised by the wonders here.

"You are a witch."

Most witches are influenced by the power of the abyss, which grants them powerful magical talents. This also means an affinity for magic that exceeds that of ordinary people, and a physique that has been tempered by magic for a long time - so, are witches also afraid of the cold?

"Ashe Witch," Grace corrected with a stern look. "If it were Sophia, she would definitely be happy to stay here for a while, but I hate the cold, especially in places like this. The low-temperature magic here is so full that it's about to overflow - this is not my home turf."

Elsa smiled. She didn't believe Grace's nonsense. "Then why do you stay in Hercules Butana? I heard it's covered in ice and snow all year round."

Grace twitched the corners of her mouth and turned her face away.

"Of course... there are various reasons..."

"I'll just trust you for now."

"you……"

"Let's find someone quickly. The fog is very thick here. We have to act separately. Grace, you take Kalima with you."

Elsa didn't give Grace a chance to refute and turned her gaze to Kalima. Kalima's face was extremely ugly at this time. She heard the conversation between Elsa and Grace clearly. She had never heard of the Ash Witch, but she had heard of various rumors about witches, as well as Grace's identity as a Helansis Butana.

In other words, Grace and the demihumans have a connection.

Before Kalimar could think more, suddenly, a dazzling light accompanied by warmth poured into her body, sweeping away her fatigue and discomfort in an instant, making her feel full of strength - looking up, she saw a scorching sun rising in Elsa's hand. It was obviously a very dazzling light, but it inexplicably made people yearn for it.

"Leave the rest to me."

Elsa winked at Grace, smiled, then turned and jumped up. The next moment, Grace saw a second sun light up in the depths of the thick fog, followed by the third, fourth, fourth, and fifth suns farther away.

In just a few breaths, the entire canyon was lit up by one sun after another, and then Elsa returned to Grace.

"I didn't see anything on my way here just now. The wind, snow, and frost obscured all traces. However, I used holy light magic to fill this canyon. If they are still alive, this should buy them some time. The rest depends on us."

Grace curled her lips, stared at Elsa, and hesitated to speak before finally uttering a word.

"Thanks……"

Kalima on the side was stunned.

……

487, Solid Ice

The fog was so thick that I couldn't see very far.

Fine snow flakes fell from the sky above the canyon and quietly accumulated on the windless valley floor, covering it with a thin layer of white flakes. The flying snow buried any possible traces and increased the difficulty of the search, so Aisha and Grace decided to act separately - Aisha took Kalima, who had to become obedient, and Grace went alone.

"If you find anything, just shout my name and I will come right over."

After giving her instructions, Elsa took Kalima away. The sound of Elsa's footsteps disappeared into the white mist along with the sound of the ice constantly cracking. This made Grace grit her teeth. The sound of the ice breaking bit by bit was so harsh, as if something sharp was scratching a piece of metal, which made her teeth ache.

She hated that sound, really hated it.

It seems that the ice here is not very solid. I have to be careful, Grace thought, and then took a step forward, but there was no expected sound of ice breaking.

The ice seems to be firmer here.
