As Chen Xing got closer, she realized how magnificent the tower was.
It was about a hundred meters in diameter, and from her position, she couldn’t see the top, as it seemed to reach endlessly into the sky.
Each level of the tower’s exterior was adorned with spectacular sculptures depicting various terrifying beasts, their expressions so vivid and lifelike that it seemed they might come to life at any moment.
This gave the tower an intimidating aura that deterred anyone from approaching.
“Hey! Are you going to crash into it?” Chen Xing noticed that the dragon showed no signs of slowing down.
Compared to the dragon’s size, the tower looked like a thin chopstick, and she worried that the dragon might easily break it upon impact.
However, the collision she imagined didn’t happen.
The moment the dragon touched the tower, the scene before Chen Xing’s eyes changed once again.
The hellish sky disappeared, replaced by a clear, sunny day with clouds floating in the sky and the ground filled with greenery, birds, and flowers.
There were forests, grasslands, lakes, and rivers everywhere.
After the dragon landed on a patch of grass, it respectfully lowered its head and said, “Master, we have arrived.”
“This place is huge, but why does it look so different from the outside?”
“Because the Witch’s Tower has spatial magic left by the master.
From the outside, it appears infinitely tall, and each level seems to be only about a hundred square meters, but the world inside is vast.
This is all thanks to your power, Master.”
“How many levels does this tower have?”
“There are a total of one hundred levels, with nine guardians.
Each guardian is responsible for ten levels.
From the outside, the entrance is only on the bottom level, and outsiders who enter the tower must defeat all the guardians to finally meet you, Master.”
“Sounds like a video game…” Chen Xing remarked, then continued to ask, “Where are they?”
“They…” The dragon’s voice carried a hint of sadness, “They all perished in the last great war, leaving only me to survive.”
“What? That’s so tragic!”
“But please rest assured, Master.
Although they died in battle, their power has been preserved.
As long as you find suitable successors to inherit their power, your guardians will be revived to help you conquer the world.
I suggested keeping that Valkyrie because she is well-suited to inherit the power of the guardians and become your new Dark Valkyrie.”
Even now, the dragoness was still thinking about corrupting and recruiting that divine saintess.
The reason she was so focused on that woman was because the dragoness knew that she was a remnant from the post-god era, stronger than most people in the current world.
Moreover, turning light into darkness would enhance the power, commonly known as “blackening makes you ten times stronger.”
However, Chen Xing wasn’t interested in such things, but as the dragoness said, if she didn’t gather a few guardians, she wouldn’t have the ability to return to her original world.
Of course, Chen Xing couldn’t fully trust these words either.
“Ahem, besides this magic sword, are there any other items left by the guardians?” Chen Xing found an opportunity to change the subject, and the dragoness respectfully replied, “In response to the master’s question, since the last great war, I have only managed to collect four guardian relics, and the remaining ones are still out there.”
After saying this, the dragoness took out all the guardian relics she had collected.
Besides the magic sword, there was a black-purple crystal emitting dark energy, a blue jelly-like substance in a transparent bottle, and a blood-red stone.
“This is my sister’s magic crystal, known outside as the Dragon Crystal.
When my sister fell, she left her remaining power and soul in this crystal.
By merging with a suitable person, they can become a dragon.
This blood-red stone is the Bloodstone left by the Vampire Princess.
Whoever merges with it will become a blood demon, a creature even more terrifying than a vampire.”
“What’s this blue jelly-like thing? It looks delicious.”
“This is a slime.”
“Huh? Even the weakest slime from RPG games can be a witch’s guardian?”
“It is indeed your guardian, Master, and at the time, it was your favorite.”
“Why?”
“Because it was your personal bath assistant, carefully cleaning your body inside and out every time you bathed.”
“Wow… The witch’s tastes are really peculiar.”
Just imagining that scene made Chen Xing shiver.
She thought the witch’s twisted interests were already numerous, but there were even more extreme ones.
If the witch was truly her past life, why didn’t she have any of those perverted traits?
“Master! That woman is awake?”
“Awake?”
The divine saintess lay among the flowers, slowly opening her eyes.
She sat up in confusion, looking at the lush, vibrant scenery around her, momentarily thinking she had returned to the divine realm.
The scenery was so similar to the divine realm, with birds and flowers everywhere and beautiful landscapes, and even the style of the vegetation was similar.
“Could it be that I’ve returned to the divine realm?” Not only the scenery, but the saintess also took a deep breath, feeling that the floral scent in the air was just like in her memories.
Tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks, releasing the homesickness she had suppressed for a century, and she was about to burst into tears.
But at that moment, a black light appeared out of nowhere on the ground beside her, and when the light dissipated, the two people who emerged made the saintess’s pupils contract.
“Evil demon!” The moment she saw Chen Xing, the saintess lost control.
Regardless of whether she had any strength left, she stood up and charged at Chen Xing.
Her punches landed on Chen Xing’s chest, causing nothing but some flesh to jiggle, with no other damage.
“Why are you doing this?” Chen Xing was already feeling helpless about the saintess’s reaction.
She had no grudge against her, yet she was being treated this way.
It was a bit uncomfortable…
“Hehehe, Saintess Freya, the holy magic in your body and the evil energy have reached a state of balance, canceling each other out.
So you can’t use holy magic or evil energy.
Right now, you’re just an ordinary person.
Don’t you understand?” The dragoness said in a mocking tone, then lightly waved her hand, and the gust of wind easily blew the saintess’s frail body away.
After rolling on the ground several times, she struggled to get up, glaring at the dragoness and saying, “Ugh… Kill me!”
“Want to die? It’s not that easy.
You should know that falling into my master’s hands, death would be the lightest punishment, right? You can commit suicide, but your soul will be eternally enslaved by my master, enduring countless torments.
The scorching of lava, the extreme cold of ice, the pain of swords piercing your heart, being crushed, cut, and chopped! Then being reassembled… Hehehe… At that time, even wishing for your soul to be scattered would be an unattainable dream.”
The dragoness spoke with a sinister expression, and her words didn’t scare the saintess but instead made Chen Xing’s hair stand on end and her spine tingle.
“Wow! Is the witch really that cruel? How could I possibly do such things?”
