Chapter: Chapter 297
Huff, the familiar powerlessness emanated from her body again. Leticia looked down at her hands and found that the clothes she was wearing this time were different from the last time.
Does she get a new set of clothes every time she enters? Leticia thought, her current clothes were more revealing, similar to the time she was on vacation by the sea.
However, these clothes felt slightly out of place in the world she was currently in.
Would anyone really wear summer clothes in a vast expanse of white snow? This would be self-inflicted torture!
“Fortunately, it’s a dream, so I don’t feel the cold.” Leticia exhaled a puff of white mist. If the temperature here were the same as in the real world, she would probably be shivering uncontrollably from the cold.
She wondered who the owner of this dream was and what their wish was. Could it be a snowball fight?
Perhaps, but it wasn’t important. Leticia’s goal was to ruin this dream. Currently, without any supernatural powers, the only thing she could do was to eliminate the dream’s owner.
If the dream’s owner died, the dream would naturally collapse. Normally, the dreamer would wake up in the real world at this point.
However, under the influence of a certain god’s power, the dreamers would not wake up but would enter another state of dreamless sleep until that god noticed something unusual and rebuilt the dream.
“Although it’s not very useful, it can still annoy her.” Leticia muttered. However, she had encountered a problem: she couldn’t find out where the dream’s owner had gone.
After trudging through this world of nothing but white for an unknown amount of time, Leticia stopped with a hint of helplessness. If she continued to walk aimlessly, she didn’t know when she would find the dream’s owner.
Is there any way to quickly find the dream’s owner?
Leticia really didn’t know the answer to this question. The first two times, the blond-haired girl had appeared on her own. The other time, she hadn’t even looked for her. The cafe was too small, and the owner could be found at a glance.
So, what should she do now?
Looking around, she saw nothing but white snowfields and falling snowflakes. In this world of white, Leticia was the only splash of color.
She was the only black dot in this endless white.
And this seemed to have attracted the attention of some beings.
The wind suddenly became much stronger. Countless snowflakes were swept up by the wind, forming a giant white storm. Once formed, this storm moved directly towards Leticia, as if intending to kill her right there.
Should she run? Leticia looked down at her short legs. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t outrun this outrageously scaled blizzard.
Now, she either had to wake up actively or be swallowed by this blizzard, which would cause some minor damage to her spirit.
“Hmph, running away like this is not my style.” As the Demon King, would Leticia simply bow her head and admit defeat?
Impossible!
She was the Demon King, and her dignity would not allow her to surrender. She wasn’t afraid of this mere blizzard, even if she just stood her ground!
Moreover, she planned to experiment here to see if she could escape her current state of being unable to even lift a chicken. Without any strength to rely on, she truly lacked confidence.
As for the result, it was somewhat disappointing to Leticia. No matter how hard she tried to sense the power within her, her body only gave her a feeling of emptiness.
It was like a dried-up branch, unable to squeeze out a single drop of water.
“Human, aren’t you afraid?” A ethereal voice sounded in Leticia’s ears.
Leticia opened her eyes and was surprised to find a girl dressed all in white in front of her. The raging blizzard behind the girl was like a docile pet, which immediately made Leticia recognize the girl’s identity: the owner of this dream.
“Who are you?” Leticia didn’t answer the girl’s question but instead asked about her identity.
Hearing the question, the girl immediately showed a proud expression. She placed her right hand on her chest and, with a serious and melodious tone, replied, “I am the Witch of Blizzard, the ruler of this extreme northern icy land, the purest and most flawless person in the world…”
As the girl listed her countless titles, Leticia’s eyes twitched involuntarily. She felt that her earlier caution in thinking the girl was not simple was perhaps too excessive.
This girl was clearly suffering from severe chuunibyou!
What kind of WItch of Blizzard, the most flawless person in the world? Didn’t she feel ashamed saying such things?
“In short, this is my territory, a white world. Black existences are not welcome here. Although you, little sister, are quite likable, I’m sorry, you cannot stay here.” After finishing her self-introduction, the girl spoke seriously, “Before the wind intensifies further, hurry up and leave here.”
An eviction notice? Leticia scratched her head in distress. Her goal was to have this dream destroyed, so leaving now wouldn’t do.
However, this girl’s combat power in the dream was likely quite good. At least her control over the blizzard was impressive. She, an ordinary girl without the strength to even lift a chicken, couldn’t defeat her.
So, what should she do?
Besides herself, who else could eliminate this girl?
The answer was obvious.
“Sister Witch, please don’t drive me away. A very, very terrifying monster is chasing me. It killed my parents, burned down my house, and chased me all the way here.” Leticia’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. She hugged the girl, who was not much bigger than her, and cried with great sorrow.
Damn, this girl was cold to hug.
Mentally labeling the chuunibyou girl as not as comfortable to hug as Bai Ling, Leticia continued her act of playing the victim: “I heard there was a powerful and kind witch here, so I came here with my last hope. If Sister Witch drives me away, I will surely die at the hands of that monster!”
Leticia’s genuine words caused the girl’s expression to waver. She felt that there were slight issues with what Leticia said, but she couldn’t figure out what they were.
However, the words “powerful and kind witch” that Leticia used had truly struck a chord with her. For the sake of those words alone, she couldn’t bear to see this cute little sister die at the hands of such a terrifying monster.
“Little sister, what does that monster you’re talking about look like?”
What does it look like? It looks like the person behind you.
A slight curve appeared on Leticia’s lips. Although she couldn’t figure out the specific pattern of the blond-haired girl’s appearance, this time the blond-haired girl gave her quite a bit of face. As soon as she mentioned her, she couldn’t wait to come over.
“It, it’s right behind you, Sister Witch, be careful!” Leticia shouted loudly in a highly affected tone.
“What?!” Hearing Leticia’s words, the girl was startled and quickly turned her head to look behind her. Just as Leticia had said, a girl with white hair and a white dress had appeared behind her at some point. The girl’s ominous blood-red eyes were fixed on the black-haired little sister hugging her, clearly indicating that she was a bad person with ill intentions towards the little sister.
At this moment, she had already believed most of what Leticia had said. Such a strange girl could indeed be called a monster.
The white-haired girl was levitating a dozen centimeters off the ground. She held a beautiful long sword in her hand, its blade condensed with terrifying power. Even the blizzard around her had stopped, as if afraid to act recklessly in the presence of this girl.
“You have defiled the white on your body. Put down your weapon and leave here, and I might spare your life.” Despite facing an unprecedentedly strong enemy, the girl did not retreat. In her eyes, she was the strongest witch in the world, and no other existence could be stronger than her.
Moreover, this was her home ground, so she couldn’t possibly lose to begin with.
This statement caused the white-haired girl to tilt her head. She seemed to be pondering the meaning of the girl’s words and, after thinking about it, couldn’t understand why this girl was blocking her path.
Since she couldn’t understand, there was no need to understand. Anyone who blocked her path would simply be killed.
Her target was Leticia, and only Leticia. She would forever chase this girl but would not take her life. This was a nightmare that might continue forever, and anyone who blocked her path would be regarded as an enemy and eliminated one by one.
And now, this strangely dressed white girl was standing in front of Leticia, trying to prevent her from completing her goal. Therefore, what she needed to do was very simple:
Kill this girl, and then continue to chase Leticia.
“Those who block my path, die.” The cold voice seemed to lower the temperature of the entire world by a few degrees. The girl raised her sword, her tip pointing directly at the white-haired girl blocking Leticia.
The girl suddenly felt as if she were being stared at by a fierce beast, but she did not retreat. Instead, she met the white-haired girl’s blood-red eyes without fear. She was the most powerful witch in this world, so how could she back down now?
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Leticia ran a little further away with her short legs so as not to be accidentally injured by the white-haired girl’s attack. After all, when this girl was wielding a sword, her attack range was quite large.
“Go, Sister Witch!” However, she wasn’t completely out of the picture. She could still cheer for the white-haired girl, right?
I will provide all support except actual assistance, that’s what it means.
Of course, the white-haired girl didn’t expect Leticia to be of any help. In her eyes, Leticia was just a very ordinary little girl with no combat power. Such little sisters were naturally meant to be protected, and now, she was this little sister’s protector.
“Come on, monster, let me show you the power of a witch!” The white-haired girl raised her hand, summoning the blizzard. “Feel the wrath of the ice and snow land, desecrator!”
“Zero battle awareness. Is standing still and charging up like a wooden stake asking to die at this moment?” Seeing this, Leticia knew that this fight was hopeless. This girl indeed had immense power to summon winds and call rain in the dream world, but she seemed to have also imposed a restriction on herself that required a long charge-up time to do so.
It was understandable. This girl’s delusions probably came from books or television. In her opinion, skills like summoning blizzards required a long incantation, and enemies on television would obediently wait for the protagonist to finish their charge before attacking.
But, would the white-haired girl stupidly wait around?
No.
“Boring.” The girl swung a beam of sword energy.
The beam of sword energy flew directly towards the girl’s neck. If the girl didn’t react, she would likely be decapitated in the next moment.
This dishonorable sneak attack greatly surprised the girl. She never expected the enemy to be so cunning as to attack her while she was casting.
Fortunately, her reaction was timely enough, and she dodged the beam of sword energy with a low crouch. However, this made her previous incantation completely useless, and the gathered magic power vanished instantly.
“Sister Witch, use instant magic, don’t charge up!” Leticia shouted loudly, “This monster won’t give you time for long incantations!”
She also wanted to see how these two white-haired girls would fight, so providing some outside guidance was necessary.
“Instant magic?” The girl was stunned. Wasn’t this girl just an ordinary girl? Why would she give such advice?
“Yes, Sister Witch should be able to compress magic, right? Magic formed by compressed magic power is not weaker in power than magic that requires long incantations.” Leticia explained, “Don’t look at me now, I have no magic, but actually, I used to be an apprentice mage.”
An apprentice mage? No wonder she had such insights. Her family must not be simple, otherwise, she wouldn’t be chased by this white-haired monster.
The girl agreed with Leticia’s statement, as it was the most logical explanation.
Just as she had this thought, Leticia suddenly felt a surge of power within her. It was a feeling she was very familiar with, her magic power.
Although it was very little, so little that it didn’t meet the standard of a formal mage, it was still magic power!
“Have I regained magic power? No, the source of all this must be that girl.” Leticia stared blankly at her hand. She only started to feel magic power again after she fabricated her identity and told it to the girl.
So, the key was that the girl believed her story and recognized her identity as an apprentice mage.
And after that, she obtained magic power equivalent to that of an apprentice mage.
“To gain strength, does the dream’s owner need to recognize that you have strength? This is quite a discovery.”
