Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 063 Crisis

As if a battle had shattered the village's tranquility, the mist gradually dissipated.

Luo Xi stood still, her body ramrod straight.

The magic was like a wild horse, running rampant through my body, bringing waves of pain.

Wei Ying and Shui Lin stood in front of her, staring intently at the Zero Witch, forming a standoff with her, while also protecting her behind them.

"She's about to die," the Zero Witch laughed, her voice both manic and gleeful. "The abnormal outburst from her body will surely be quite interesting."

"What do you mean?" Shui Lin looked at the Zero Witch with amusement. Her appearance was no longer as disheveled as before, indicating that she had recovered some of her magic power. "Please stop trying to sow discord. Just now, you wanted me to kneel before you."

"We would never abandon our teammates," Wei Ying said coldly, her tone ambiguous, whether from anger or resentment. "She's our partner."

Zero Witch, Wei Ying, Shui Lin...

The Zero Witch was hostile to her from the beginning. When they first met, the Zero Witch's murderous intent towards her was inexplicable. In addition, the Zero Witch might be a witch who had reached an agreement with the Witch Council. Therefore, Luo Xi directly identified the Zero Witch as an enemy.

Then there's Shui Lin. When Bei Qi clashed with her, Shui Lin intervened physically to stop the conflict.

Afterwards, Bei Qi was killed by her. Although Wei Ying said that Bei Qi seemed to be still alive, Luo Xi had no idea what Shui Lin was planning, given Shui Lin's ambiguous attitude and the fact that she seemed to have designs on her.

Although Shui Lin acted completely cooperative afterwards, as if she was thinking of the bigger picture, Luo Xi still couldn't fully trust her.

Luo Xi glanced at Shui Lin, still somewhat wary. Despite the pain in her body, she moved silently behind Wei Ying.

As for Wei Ying, she seemed naive, and Luo Xi felt that Wei Ying wasn't very reliable...

This is the current situation.

Cold sweat had already appeared on Luo Xi's forehead. She gritted her teeth and persevered for a long time, but her body still swayed slightly. In the end, she could not hold on to standing and could only slowly sit down cross-legged.

Forcibly maintaining the flow of magic within her body, Luo Xi tried to suppress the surging magic, but to no avail.

"Zero Witch, what exactly did you do to Luo Xi?" Wei Ying saw her sit cross-legged and realized something was wrong with her; she seemed both angry and somewhat lost. "The priority now is dealing with the anomaly. Without her, how can we handle it?"

"Wei Ying, why pretend to have desires?" The Zero Witch's voice was tinged with laughter. "Two abnormal characteristics. Only abnormalities can fight against abnormalities, and abnormalities will attract each other and aggregate."

"Witches are an anomaly in themselves. As higher-level witches, we are even higher-level anomalies. How do these two characteristics manifest in us?"

"That is to say, we have an extremely strong possessive desire for all witches of a lower rank than ourselves," Witch Zero glanced at her and Shui Lin with a strange look, "I really want to eat you up."

That gaze sent a chill down Luo Xi's spine. Suppressing the horrifying feeling in her heart, Luo Xi continued to think of ways to regulate the surging magic power in her body.

"Wei Ying, what are you pretending for?" Zero Witch sneered, then revealed a disgusted expression. "It's disgusting."

An agitated Wei Ying stopped what she was doing and glared angrily at the Zero Witch. "What exactly are you trying to do, Zero Witch?!"

"Everything I do is for a bigger, farther-reaching goal," the Zero Witch laughed. "I have only one purpose: to eliminate all anomalies!"

"So, you mean eliminate us?" Shui Lin interjected, merely sneering, "What exactly did you do to Luo Xi?"

"Giving her one magical attribute is all it takes," Witch Zero seemed even happier, completely adopting a spectator's attitude. "The limit for a beginner witch is three magical attributes."

Can a novice witch only possess three magical properties? This was information she was unaware of.

Luo Xi remained seated cross-legged, silently watching Wei Ying, Shui Lin, and the Zero Witch confront each other. The Zero Witch still seemed to be enjoying the spectacle. "What will happen when there are more than three of the magical properties of a beginner witch? I'm really looking forward to it."

Luo Xi was already aware of her condition at this moment.

She originally had three magical properties in her body, which were abnormal cores. With the magical properties given to her by the Zero Witch, she had more than three abnormal cores in her body.

This directly disrupted the balance within her body, leading to the loss of control over her magic.

No wonder she had a strange feeling, a bizarre sense of fullness, when she devoured Bei Qi and the abnormal core left behind by the abnormal illusion.

As for what Zero Witch said about what would happen?

It's obvious to anyone that her magical properties simply converged and then went out of control, turning her into a new anomaly core and a new anomalous event.

"What a perfect body," Witch Zero licked her lips, revealing an alluring smile. "Should I kill this witch beforehand to prevent a new anomaly, or let me control her?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xi finally understood the Zero Witch's purpose.

According to information provided by Rose, she said that the Zero Witch's condition was very strange. Combined with Bai Nuo's condition, what the Zero Witch always wanted was a perfect body.

What exactly is a witch?

At first, Luo Xi guessed it was a weapon.

Judging from her initial qualities when she first became a witch, her superhuman regenerative abilities, unparalleled destructive power, and combat endurance that could last for almost 2-3 days... the witch is a weapon.

Now, Luo Xi has a different opinion.

When an abnormal core merges into a witch's body, there is a chance that it will generate new magical properties, or there is a chance that it will simply increase the witch's magical reserves.

Why did this happen? Luo Xi pondered.

Witches are born from anomalous events. From the moment they are born, witches naturally possess a certain ability to suppress anomalous events. In this sense, witches can be understood as a higher-level anomalous event.

The process of the abnormal core merging into the witch's body is a process of conflict between abnormalities.

In this process, higher-level anomalies, due to their higher rule priority, more fundamental concepts, or more complete power, can directly ignore, dismantle, or cover the rules of lower-level anomalies.

This suppression is not destruction, but more like devouring or domination.

High-level anomalies will absorb low-level anomalies as part of themselves or cause them to become completely dormant.

This is the manifestation of abnormal aggregation, and Luo Xi is even more convinced of a point of view: even if the witch is not a weapon, she must be some kind of tool.

A witch is either a vessel or a container!

If we follow this line of reasoning, then a new question arises: what is abnormally integrated into the body—the witch's body, or something else entirely?

Is it spirit? Or mind? Or consciousness?

Luo Xi slowly stood up, and even in this critical moment of life and death, she actually showed a slight smile!
