The incident today made Chen Xing realize one thing: she must not get angry or lose her temper, or else she would become uncontrollable.
The dark side of the witch’s body would awaken, leading her to do some very bad things.
“Sigh… It seems I need to control my temper better in the future.” Chen Xing lay on the bed, having slipped away early because she couldn’t face the Saintess Freya anymore.
In the Demon Realm, there is no concept of time; the blood moon always hangs in the sky, and inside the Witch’s Tower, there’s no distinction between day and night.
Technically, witches don’t need to sleep, but while the body might not show symptoms, the mind can still get tired.
Moreover, Chen Xing had been under mental stress all day, so once she relaxed on the soft bed, sleepiness gradually overcame her.
She didn’t know how long she slept, but in a daze, Chen Xing seemed to hear someone calling her.
——————
In the Northern Snow Country, a land of ice and snow where even urine would freeze into a stick, the place was rich in minerals and teeming with magical beasts.
Despite the cold, it wasn’t desolate.
This country was wealthy and had strong military power and technology, making it one of the top empires in the world.
In this icy land, a girl was running frantically on the thick snow, her clothes tattered, exposing her fair skin to the biting cold wind.
Along the way, her bright red blood filled the small footprints she left behind.
Underneath her torn clothes were noticeable wounds, suggesting she had suffered significant harm before.
“Ha!” Suddenly, the girl seemed to trip over something, falling directly into the snow.
This time, she no longer had the strength to get up.
Not far behind her, a group of knights in silver-white armor, riding beasts resembling wild wolves, slowly emerged from the blizzard.
Looking at the girl lying on the ground, the leading knight removed his helmet and said mockingly, “If you had accepted your fate earlier, you wouldn’t have had to suffer.”
The girl stopped running, turned her head, and glared at the knights with eyes full of hatred.
In a hoarse voice, she shouted, “Why! Why did you attack my village!?”
“Because your village harbors a dark cult, worshipping an evil witch.”
“I’ve never seen the cult you mentioned! Even if it exists, what does it have to do with me or my parents!? They never worshipped any cult!” The girl’s bloodshot eyes were filled with anger, but no matter how strong her hatred, it was useless.
She could only watch as the knight approached her.
“Eradicate the roots.” Those simple four words sealed the girl’s fate.
Watching these so-called righteous knights’ actions, the girl’s faith had long since collapsed.
From the beginning, she had been praying in her heart.
If there really was a witch, please respond to me! Help me take revenge, kill these people! I am willing to give up everything.
In the past, such a prayer would surely go unanswered, but now… Chen Xing felt the intense hatred and negative emotions and heard her prayer.
Just as the knight drew his sword, a change occurred.
It was clearly noon, but the sky darkened.
Although it was snowing, this was not the dimness of clouds blocking the sun; it was as if the light in this space had been drained away.
The knights took out flame crystals for illumination, but the light that should have shone for dozens of meters could only barely light up the surroundings.
At this moment, under the illumination, the knights were horrified to find that the once white snow had turned black, like volcanic ash after an eruption.
While everyone was bewildered, a sudden gust of wind and lightning struck, causing a strong ringing in everyone’s ears, as if their heads were about to explode.
“Ahhhhh!” Screams filled the air as the beasts beneath them lost control, throwing everyone off.
Some lower-level knights even bled from their seven orifices and lost their lives.
In front of the knights, the space suddenly twisted, and a shadow appeared out of thin air.
It was impossible to see the face, as the entire body was shrouded in absolute darkness, but the outline suggested it was a female.
“Who are you!” Only the knight captain was still struggling to hold on.
He had read history books and knew that such phenomena could only mean one thing, but he didn’t believe it! The witch had been eradicated thousands of years ago! How could she appear again!? It must be a trick, a bluff!
“Trick… bluff, it must be…” The knight captain kept repeating this phrase, and from his twisted expression, it seemed his spirit had long since collapsed.
Blood flowed from his nose, eyes, and ears like a faucet, and as he watched the shadow approach, he had no thought of escape.
The shadow extended a slender hand, pressing it against the knight’s silver-white armor.
The armor began to decay visibly, becoming as fragile as tofu, and finally, the black hand easily pressed into the knight’s chest, grasping his heart.
“Ugh…” With a slight squeeze, the knight captain’s twisted body lost its life, collapsing to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
“Are you… a witch?” The girl stared blankly at the horrific scene before her.
Even though the knights were all dead, she was unaffected.
“…” The shadow did not answer her, only slightly turning its head to glance at the girl before its body gradually became transparent and disappeared.
“Wait!” Seeing the shadow disappear, the girl struggled to stand, trying to stop it, but in the end, she could only watch as the shadow vanished.
——————————
“Mm…” Chen Xing slowly opened her eyes, sitting up in bed, still a bit groggy.
“I think I had a strange dream…” Chen Xing dreamt that someone was calling her, and when she went over, she found a group of people bullying a little girl, so she killed them.
Chen Xing looked down at her hand, then grasped the air a couple of times, as if savoring the feeling.
In the dream, controlling others’ lives and watching the light of life in their eyes fade away… that feeling was somewhat thrilling.
“So witches can dream too.” Chen Xing lifted the blanket, first glancing at the bed.
“Sigh… did I sweat this much?” With a sigh, Chen Xing controlled the black material to transform her pajamas into workout clothes.
As soon as she stepped out, Little Dragon Girl appeared out of nowhere, holding a map.
“Master, I’ve marked the countries with your treasures.
Which country should we start destroying?” Little Dragon Girl said excitedly.
With her master revived, she could finally experience the joy of world destruction again.
