The Little Witch’s Daily Struggle – Chapter 1852

Chapter 1852: The Archmage Has Arrived Again

“Um, where are those two Twin Nuns?” Jayad abruptly changed the subject. He remembered that he had taken the girls’ first time yesterday and wanted to check on them.

“I’ve put them in solitary confinement. The condition is that they don’t tell the Elder about their scheme against me. What? Are you concerned about those two sisters?” Lorna asked. I felt as though her jealousy was even stronger than mine.

“Uh, I am a little concerned. I was even rougher with them last night. I wonder if I harmed their bodies?” Older Brother Jayad told the truth.

“There’s no problem. Just as you said, your sister’s Medical Skill is indeed superb. They don’t have any sequela at all. They can run and jump. Or perhaps you were instinctively using Holy Light to heal them while doing that last night?” Lorna asked again.

“Mm, I did use Holy Light,” Jayad admitted honestly. His memory of going mad was complete, it was just that he couldn’t control himself at the time. The memory of using Holy Light was, of course, also complete.

“Hmph, how proficient. In a few days, after they’ve had a good reflection, I’ll let them out. Then you can do as you please with those two Twin Sisters,” Lorna snorted coldly.

I looked at Lorna in surprise. After breaking through that barrier, she had completely removed her restrictions and reverted to her original dominant, big-sister persona. Undoubtedly, she had taken the initiative with the Twin Nuns.

Older Brother Jayad was so suppressed by her that he was speechless and didn’t know how to respond. Luckily, at this moment, someone arrived to diffuse the atmosphere.

An old man wearing a golden-red robe with a flowing white beard walked over, exuding an aura of natural authority. He was the Archmage.

The Holy Sword had cut off his Scale Scepter Sword, but it still seemed usable. He had attached a cylindrical scabbard and was still using it as a staff. He looked at Jayad with a rather displeased expression.

Not only that, but this time he also brought six subordinates, six people wearing vintage suits, curly wigs, and gold-rimmed glasses. They also exuded that scorching Eternal Sun Divine Power.

“The jury. Those are the Archmage’s subordinates. They are also his disciples trained in the Eternal Sun religion and can share Divine Power with the Archmage,” Older Brother Jayad said with a grave expression. They were not here with good intentions.

I knew that a powerful Archmage couldn’t be a lone wolf. He did have helpers. Although I don’t know where Older Brother Jayad got the knowledge of a jury from, I immediately stood beside Older Brother Jayad.

Lorna also turned to him, standing shoulder to shoulder with Jayad. We instantly became one front. She also released a sharp killing intent. Although it was just a warning, this aura did make the Archmage and his subordinates hesitate and stop.

“Your Honor, the Duel between you and I has already been decided. You also promised the day before yesterday that all our grievances would be settled after this battle. Are you still going to trouble me?” Jayad questioned sternly.

“Hmph! Am I the kind of person who doesn’t keep his word? It’s just that the Holy Relic of our religion was stolen by you, and I must get it back. You can propose reasonable exchange conditions, but if you don’t return it, I won’t make a move again. However, you might be chased by countless experts of our religion, including those stronger than me,” the Archmage threatened and enticed.

This was like a Lawful Neutral person playing rogue. He had promised to settle everything, so he naturally had to keep his word and couldn’t attack Jayad directly. However, he hadn’t promised that others wouldn’t trouble Jayad, for example, the six jury members beside him.

If Older Brother Jayad was right, the jury members could share the Archmage’s Divine Power. In other words, even if the Archmage didn’t fight Jayad openly, he could distribute all his Divine Power to the jury. This not only meant he was participating in the battle but, combined with the six jury members, it would be even more troublesome.

One could only say that he was worthy of being a judge, adept at exploiting loopholes in the rules and abusing his power of interpretation.

We had actually considered this a couple of days ago. We never intended to keep the little hammer from the start. We were going to return it anyway. Jayad took out the little hammer and asked, “Are you talking about this? I’ll return it to you now.”

After speaking, he tossed the little hammer over. The Archmage seemed somewhat incredulous. He didn’t even reach out to catch the hammer directly but instead caught it with the scales on his staff.

Moreover, miraculously, even when the little hammer landed on the scales, there was no sign of tilting. They remained perfectly steady, as if something of equal weight was placed on the other side of the scales.

Then the Archmage carefully examined the condition of the little hammer. His expression immediately changed drastically, and he furiously cursed, “You dare to defile our Holy Relic! This is an insult! Blasphemy!”

“Huh? Don’t spout nonsense. I haven’t touched your little hammer, let alone blasphemed it,” Jayad quickly explained, but he felt a little guilty because we all knew that Jayad had indeed gained power from the little hammer, though from a completely unknown Goddess.

“Nonsense! The residual Divine Power in the little hammer has completely deteriorated! This is clearly you blaspheming Our Lord’s Holy Relic in revenge for me!” the Archmage roared, his hair on end. The six jury members simultaneously emitted scorching sunlight toward us.

Seeing that the other side was making a move, Older Brother Jayad and Lorna prepared to counterattack simultaneously. Suddenly, I shouted, “Wait! It might be a misunderstanding!”

I erected a slightly tilted water mirror in front of both sides, and behind the water mirror, I set up a larger ice mirror.

When the light shone on the water surface, it was immediately scattered by the water and then reflected by the ice mirror behind it towards the sky. If I hadn’t used this method to resolve it, that scorching sunlight would definitely have burned the surrounding crowd.

Even I had to first rely on the water mirror to scatter and reduce the power of the light, and cool it down through the water mirror, before the ice mirror could withstand the direct sunlight. Otherwise, the surface of the ice mirror would melt, losing its reflective function.

I blocked it so effortlessly that the surrounding crowd didn’t even realize we were fighting. They only saw a few people flash some lights, and on the other side, a round water and ice contraption spun a couple of times, like a juggling act.

“Do you intend to make a move here? Cando City strictly prohibits fighting in the outer districts, let alone near the venue. If you injure the civilians, how will you explain it to the Crown Prince!” I rebuked. One had to resort to rules when dealing with religious fanatics like this.

The Archmage immediately calmed down. He had been too angry just now because of the defilement of the Holy Relic, and he had forgotten that there were regulations here. He couldn’t break the rules and had to force himself to calm down with a belly full of anger.

“Your Honor, do you know a deity who wears a semi-transparent yellow robe, resembles a beautiful woman, and is very seductive?” I asked again.
