As Little Dragon Girl mentioned, the so-called witch who wants to destroy the world is actually just an old pervert with a harem.
The level of threat suddenly seems much lower.
“Do you want to return to the world you used to live in?”
“Yes, very much!” Chen Xing nodded vigorously, but Little Dragon Girl’s next words were a harsh blow.
“Unfortunately, you can’t go back for now.”
“Why not? If you could bring me here, you should be able to send me back!”
“Master, the magic that brought you to this world was left by you.
How could I possess the power to traverse worlds? That magic becomes ineffective after one use, so…”
“Since it’s my magic, I should be able to use it, right?” Chen Xing caught onto the key point.
Given her current powerful identity, she should be able to manage world travel, right?
“Master, you can only use magic below the sixth tier right now because such magic doesn’t require your incantation to cast.
Higher-level magic requires incantations, even for you, but only you know the specific incantations.
Even if you know the incantations, you might not be able to cast them because your power is less than a third of your full strength.
Without enough magic power, you can’t cast powerful spells, so you need to regain your strength.”
“Magic needs incantations? But I don’t know any!” Unlike the magic that can be cast with a wave of the hand, high-level magic requires incantations, even for Chen Xing, but she has no memory of being a witch.
“So if you want to go back, you must recover your memory.
To recover your memory, you need to gain enough power, and to gain enough power, you must plunge this world into darkness.”
“Is there a necessary connection between these things?”
“Your power comes from darkness.
The stronger the darkness in this world, the greater your power, provided you are retrieving your treasures.”
“Retrieve treasures?”
“Back then, you used the darkness and evil of this world to forge a crown, a necklace, four rings, and a magic orb.
After your defeat, to prevent the resurgence of your power, these treasures were taken by other races.”
“This…” Chen Xing wasn’t sure if Little Dragon Girl was telling the truth.
“Should I just torment her until she tells the truth?” This evil thought made Chen Xing quickly shake her head, reminding herself that she wasn’t a villain and shouldn’t do bad things.
“Do I really need these items…”
“Don’t worry, Master.
I’ve already found the whereabouts of most of these items.”
“You found such important things?”
“These treasures can grant people great power but will lead them into darkness.
Initially, the races kept them well, but over time, the fear of the witch faded, and so did the vigilance towards these treasures.
Many couldn’t resist the temptation of power, and there were many battles among the races to seize them.”
Little Dragon Girl’s smile widened.
The slaughter among other races was a delightful thing to her; she wished the whole world would be engulfed in war.
“Is there any certainty in retrieving these items?” Although Little Dragon Girl said she was powerful, Chen Xing was still a bit timid and worried that if the guardians of these treasures were strong, she might not be able to defeat them.
“How about this, Master? Come back with me to the Witch’s Tower.
It’s your home, and maybe you’ll find a magic book there that records the spell for world travel.
Then we can slowly consider the matter of the treasures.”
“That’s the only option.”
At this point, Chen Xing could only follow Little Dragon Girl’s suggestion and return to the so-called witch’s home to see if she could find a way back.
“Alright, Master, please get on!” With that, a strong gust of air burst from Little Dragon Girl, and in the next second, she transformed back into the massive black dragon.
Facing this colossal creature, the sudden immense pressure almost made Chen Xing wet herself.
But remembering her current identity as the master of the dragon, how could she lose composure in front of her pet? So she forced herself to stay calm.
“Ahem, am I supposed to ride you?”
“Hurry up, Master. It’s been so long since I carried you.” The dragon’s voice was filled with excitement, and the gusts from her nostrils could stir up a sandstorm.
“Alright, I got it.” Chen Xing suppressed the trembling in her legs and turned to pick up the divine saintess.
This poor girl kept fainting, showing no divine dignity at all.
Holding her in her arms, even through the armor, Chen Xing could feel the girl’s soft body.
Although she had become a girl, for some reason, Chen Xing still felt a bit… excited.
It seemed that this witch’s body had a peculiar longing for the girl in her arms, like an old lecherous man seeing a beauty, but even stronger… But she was a girl now, so why did she feel this way? Could it be the witch’s true nature?
“Is this witch really an old pervert?”
“Ahem.” Quickly shifting her attention to the dragon, Chen Xing used magic to control her body to float up and land on the dragon’s back.
“Hold on tight, Master!”
The dragon slowly lifted her wings, spanning over a thousand meters, and each flap stirred up a large amount of dust from the ground.
The massive body slowly lifted off, and just as Chen Xing was wondering how fast this huge creature could fly, there was a muffled bang, and the scenery before her eyes changed rapidly.
The landscape below retreated quickly, and shockwaves formed around the dragon’s body as it broke the sound barrier.
Strangely, even though the dragon flew so fast, Chen Xing didn’t feel any airflow or turbulence.
Sitting on the dragon’s back, she felt very stable.
“This is way more thrilling than flying on a plane, so amazing.”
Chen Xing admired the mountains rushing past on both sides.
After a while, she patted the dragon’s back, “When will we arrive?”
“Master, we’re almost there…” The dragon replied, then opened her mouth and spat out a black fireball into the distance.
The fireball flew rapidly and exploded at the horizon, black flames covering half the sky.
After the flames dissipated, a rift tore open in the sky.
The dragon flapped her wings and flew into the rift.
Upon entering the rift, the scenery before Chen Xing changed immediately.
The starry sky turned blood-red, with only a solitary blood moon hanging in the sky.
The ground transformed from desert to barren, cracked land, with lava occasionally spewing from the fissures.
There were no signs of life, and the place resembled a hellish landscape.
“This is the demon realm, and ahead is your home, the Witch’s Tower.”
Upon entering this realm, Chen Xing noticed the structure.
From afar, it looked like a black pillar piercing the sky and earth, increasingly resembling an indescribable entity.
