"Because it's not just us witches who react to the appearance of the Great Witch."
Ye Yu revealed his not-so-sharp canine teeth, but looked at Jiang Kehan with a very mocking smile.
"Like this dragon calamity, in the face of the appearance of the Great Witch, even level 9 dragons and the [Supreme] beings that transcend the life system have turned their attention to us."
"Among them are those who harbor malice and greed, and two months from now, the first [Supreme] will die at the hands of a witch. Its corpse will become nourishment, accumulating power for the appearance of more great witches."
"Thus, many beings who were clearly just one step away from becoming Great Witches took this opportunity to join the ranks of Great Witches."
"However, these great witches are different from those who climbed the ladder on their own. They still have something missing in their hearts, so their actions are more extreme."
Jiang Kehan suddenly clenched her fists and frowned slightly.
A certain resentment stemming from her bloodline surged within her, seemingly telling her that all malice directed at the witch race was something she despised.
"I see. So what was the final fate of those so-called 'Supreme' beings?" Jiang Kehan took a deep breath and asked after calming herself down.
"Only a witch can kill a witch, and only a witch is qualified to kill another witch." Ye Yu's tone was soft but clear and powerful. The smile on her lips finally reached its peak as she uttered such obsessive and cruel words without any mercy.
"We are mad, but only equal madness can punish us. As for the outsiders? It's fine if they don't interfere, but if they dare to step into our war, we will teach them a lesson..."
"What is extermination? What is slaughter? And what can be called truth? The witch is their truth!"
Ye Yu didn't explicitly state the fate of the so-called "supreme," but Jiang Kehan already understood.
Those with good intentions will stay; those with malice? Well, sorry, the witch won't mind having one more corpse at her feet, or even letting them know what despair is.
For example, make the other race become the witches it hates, and let these alien witches personally throw the other into the abyss of death.
This is why the Second World War of the Witches resulted in the complete annihilation of all alien races in the universe.
Chapter 316 Tyrant - Death in an Instant
Next, Jiang Kehan inquired about the basic situation within Lower Franz, as well as the story of the first [Supreme]'s death.
Fran has only four kings, located in the core cities of three giant floating islands and in Riemann, the capital of Fran.
They are Elliott, the Dragon Queen, who is famous for her dragon taming skills and can command not only a level 7 dragon, but is also rumored to have connections with level 9 dragons.
Known for his erudition, Eva Carson, a diplomat from France, is said to be the founder of the cult and the magic weaving faction.
Known for her taciturn nature and unbelievably powerful strength, she is currently the strongest witch in Fran, guarding Riemann.
And Theresa, the worst and most meddlesome of them all.
At this time, Theresa did not yet have the title of War Lord, and many Fran witches only knew her gentler side.
But no one expected that this least famous prince was the defender of Fran's honor and the trampler of Fran's order.
However, none of this mattered to Jiang Kehan for the time being; she was listening intently to Ye Yu telling the story of "Supreme".
"Strictly speaking, the so-called 'supreme' is not a level that life can reach. They are the embodiment of the universe, the representatives of a certain order. Their strength varies, and they may even be weaker than the witches."
"But because our universe is special and there is an unknown blessing, the [Supreme] has broken free from the constraints of the rules and become a true being, whose strength is above level 9."
"The first [Supreme] to be completely killed by the witch was named Tyrant Xuyu, and the power he wielded was called History."
Jiang Kehan's lips twitched, and she suddenly understood why the other party had such great malice towards the witch.
From her perspective, both the portal to another time and the unknown future that crosses timelines are prime examples of a witch manipulating history.
But Ye Yu looked at Jiang Kehan's expression and sneered.
"You might think that the other party dislikes us because of their abilities, but in reality, they just don't like us."
"The witch's magic involves uniqueness; the history we see transcends normal time and belongs exclusively to the witch."
"Xu Yu simply wanted to crush an insect casually, but he didn't expect that we would greedily turn it into food."
Jiang Kehan opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say to describe it, but fortunately Ye Yu was still speaking softly.
"All the [Supreme] beings see things differently than we do; in their eyes, only beings of level 7 and above are worthy of our attention."
"The universe is dark to them, while only beings of level 7 and above emit a light like fireflies."
"In this way, it will naturally attract the attention of the other party. Unlike the dragon species that are close to the [Supreme], the Great Witch who is waiting to step into the 7th level of life is only a casual finger."
"The other party was like a child playing with ants, showing no malice, yet crushing Emma Neva with the greatest malice."
Jiang Kehan swallowed hard. She knew that although the combat level of the witches was already high enough to hunt level 7 creatures, and even kill level 8 creatures by ganging up on them, their life level was still stuck at level 6.
This also meant that the "Supreme Ones" were originally unaware of the witch.
Instead of bullying the dragon race that had the protection of another "Supreme," this cowardly tyrant turned his wicked pleasure to witches.
"However, what I didn't expect was that when it harbored murderous intent towards Emma Neva, it meant that it was not just Emma Neva's enemy, but the mortal enemy of all witches."
Ye Yu laughed, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Even the killing of Xuyu was accomplished with the help of three truly skilled witches. Emma Neva herself was forcibly protected and allowed to watch the show from the audience."
"Kehan, the witch's madness is an evolution of the determination of truth, a battle with life as the bottom line of justice."
"But if we are faced with malice without any reason, then we will abandon all bottom lines and all principles, and fight back together with other witches, even the enemy witches."
"Because a madman does not know what it means to suffer a loss."
"So, you need to learn this too." Ye Yu patted Jiang Kehan's head with his paw and said earnestly.
"You must learn to abandon all formalities and fight others with the most primal malice, an eye for an eye."
"Only then can you be said to have truly entered this barbaric era."
Jiang Kehan smiled. In fact, she was still not quite used to many things in this era. For example, she always had very basic goodwill towards other witches.
This may be a habit brought from the future, but at some point, it will become a burden for her.
Perhaps Ye Yu had noticed these things, which is why he brought them up with concern.
"I understand, but Sister Ye Yu, by the way, the historical anomalies we're dealing with won't involve these so-called 'Supreme' entities, will they?"
Jiang Kehan realized that very few of these so-called "supreme beings" would have any goodwill towards normal living beings.
"Not necessarily, but if it only requires dealing with a few [Supreme]s, it's actually a pretty good situation," Ye Yu said with a smile.
"What you need to worry about is that this anomaly involves several great witches, who are far more terrifying than the so-called 'Supreme Ones'."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan suddenly felt that her future was bleak, and she couldn't help but recall a certain unbridled figure.
Clara, that jerk! She didn't say a word before she came!
This is definitely a telecom fraud, a scam. So, when you get back, can you ask her to give you more money?
Jiang Kehan covered her chest and revealed a very "conscientious" smile.
Since things have come to this, she can only think about the present, such as learning more magic from Ye Yu before going to gather intelligence with Blake tomorrow.
The spells she knows, especially the damaging ones, are no longer very useful against the terrifying defense of a level 6 dragon.
"Speaking of which, Sister Yeyu, since the future is so dangerous, I think it's time to teach me some of your unique and rare spells. You promised me that."
Jiang Kehan looked at Ye Yu with a serious expression, as if she had seen a lifeline, and began to whine to a pitiful, helpless black cat.
Ye Yu shivered slightly as he watched Jiang Kehan's gaze, which seemed to be about to lift him up by the back of his neck and then rub him roughly against his body.
"If you want to speed things up, you'll still need to use potions. You should know how to make them, right?"
"Next, we'll go to the village and ask around to see if we can gather any suitable materials to help you learn a few more spells."
Jiang Kehan's eyes lit up, but she coughed lightly with restraint, and then ran outside.
This is a great opportunity, we must seize the moment!
Chapter 317 Stepping into the Mud
Because of its proximity to the Fran border, the village where Del Marie lives has access to a variety of strange and unusual materials available in the local market, but these materials are not very systematic for learning magic.
Jiang Kehan traded Yin Fenglong's materials for a lot of good stuff, most of which were key materials that she could collect in the future to learn Ye Yu's rare spells.
Some were used for alchemy.
As a proud A2-level alchemist witch, Jiang Kehan can confidently say that her alchemy skills are top-notch in this era, after all, she stands on the shoulders of giants.
Although she wasn't as knowledgeable about many things related to the essence of alchemy as the alchemists of this era, an alchemist who could create useful tools was a good alchemist!
This era lacks the sophisticated instruments of the future, but Jiang Kehan's magical properties compensate for this, allowing her to start alchemy anytime, anywhere, which is very convenient, but the trade-off is that the effects of alchemical products are weaker.
However, for now, she is only collecting materials and has not yet started alchemy.
Since Ye Yu said that the materials she bought were enough for her to learn two rather special and rare spells, brewing potions was her top priority.
Jiang Kehan returned to her room in the tavern with the materials. Ye Yu was squatting on the long table opposite her, patiently watching her fiddle with the potion-making cauldron.
"The spells I'm going to teach you are [Etherealization], which is used to avoid large-scale continuous damage, and [Burning Flame], which adds extra damage."
"Short-distance teleportation is convenient, but because the speed and distance are too short, you don't have enough invincibility frames to withstand large-scale continuous damage, especially in areas where level 6 creatures almost always have them."
"So sometimes, you need a way to ignore momentary damage before moving or attacking to avoid being killed in one hit."
Jiang Kehan nodded, but the introduction provided by Yinglingmiao gradually appeared in her eyes.
[Etherealization: A level 6 rare spell created by Ye Yu, belonging to the Spell of Blessing. Depending on the witch's understanding of the principles of etherealization, it can provide immunity to attacks from level 8 creatures and below for varying durations.]
As expected of the witch responsible for guarding the gate of time and space, she made a grand gesture right away.
Jiang Kehan looked at Ye Yu with some amazement, making the other person think with suspicion: Is this kid stupid?
Ye Yu was unable to detect the connection between the cat balls and Jiang Kehan, which led her to be unaware that the heroic cats had already discovered the basics of her magic.
"This spell is worth learning, but it's only average. When you get a better one, you can even forget about it," Ye Yu said with a smile, thinking that Jiang Kehan was unaware of the spell's value.
"After all, [Etherealization] is just a simple level 6 spell, not worth mentioning."
Ye Yu looked at Jiang Kehan with amusement, expecting her to acquire a higher level of magic, but found that it was still not as good as her expression when she was in [Etherealization].
Only then will the girl realize her strength and thus remember it deeply.
However, Ye Yu's little scheme was going very well, but it was like talking to a brick wall.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kehan's only thought was that if Sister Ye Yu considered such a powerful spell insignificant, then she must have something even better!
If she doesn't take advantage of this opportunity, she's not a Jiang!
Both of them had their own ulterior motives. They looked at each other and smiled, both harboring ill intentions.
"The [Burning Flame] spell is a bit more special. I've broken this spell down into three different levels, but they're actually all connected. Once you've learned the lower level, you can complete the rest with potions."
"That way, you can learn this level 7 spell ahead of time to protect yourself," Ye Yu said, his smile fading as he gazed intently at Jiang Kehan.
