Chapter 1453 - Black Witch
"Now now, don"t be in a hurry. I need something from you. You are not going anywhere until then."
A sudden voice was heard out of nowhere and everyone instantly became vigilant.
Giyon and her subordinates grew vigilant and got ready to attack.
At this moment, a woman jumped off of a nearby tree. Her sweeping glance stopped at Sam and a smile of intrigue appeared on her face.
"You must be Sam. I have some business with you. So, don"t go holing yourself up in the divine dimension fragments and such. I don"t have the patience to look for you.
Just stay out. After I kill everyone here, I will take you away with me. Don"t worry though, I will treat you really well."
The woman said it in an extremely seductive tone. Sam frowned and looked at her from up and down. She is a tall woman with short hair. She has brown skin and here is some smokey black makeup highlighting her big eyes.
Sam felt some dark aura coming from her. She is clearly dangerous.
She stepped forward as she looked at Giyon.
"Giyon. I heard a lot about you. The newbie that is coming up within the Grey circle. Too bad, your cultivation is a bit on the lower side. If you are at least a late-stage Consummate cultivator like me, you would have had a chance.
But you are just a middle stage cultivator. You are still not a key player in the real world and you will never have the chance to be as you are going to die now."
"Who are you?"
"I am what your aunt Yuvana calls, the seductress b.i.t.c.h. But I am mostly known as the witch of darkness. I am sure you heard of me."
Giyon widened her eyes in disbelief.
"You, what are you doing here? Why did you come here?"
"Of course, because I am a member of the divine league."
"But they don"t have the power to command you to join in an operation that is focused on killing a clan by breaking so many rules of power balance."
"You are right, they cannot. That is why I am here to gain some of my personal benefits and for them to realize I need help from your friend Sam here."
Giyon suddenly thought of something and said.
"Sam immediately get into the divine dimension fragment. We will handle her."
"You cannot. Even if she is just a late-stage cultivator of Astral Plane Consummation, she would still win with all of your subordinates present here.
Her aura is screaming of danger. She is clearly the more powerful and dangerous one too.
Hiding wouldn"t help either of us.
I will stay out and I can help you while guiding the battle."
"This is way out of your league. You will die even by a stray attack." Giyon insisted again and again. Sam frowned at this. He knew that is in troublesome situations, but taking the enemy out should have been their first priority. He cannot understand why Giyon is so insistent on letting him even when the enemy is wasting time by talking.
As he was about to reply, the lady made a move.
She clapped her hands and two knuckle knives appeared on her fists as she lunged towards Giyon.
She crossed the distance in an instant with a black afterimage of dark elemental energy.
One of Giyon"s subordinates who is also a late-stage cultivator tried to block her with his sabre.
But not only did Black witch parry his attack with one of the knives, she even fluidly moved to the side.
She looked like she is moving extremely fast and slow at the same time. It almost looked like a slow-motion effect of a fast-moving superhero character in movies.
Sam frowned at this and used the energy vision to take a look. He wanted to see how the energy around her is going to react when she is using a technique like this to think of a way to counter it.
He watched as the black witch moved like a slithery snake and stabbed the subordinate on the back. She used the knife as a point of leveraging her weight on the large figure of the subordinate and threw a punch with her other hand.
The punch landed on his face, but she also became vigilant and jumped to the side as another subordinate attacked her with a spear.
The spear just barely brushed past her, leaving a slight scar on her body, but she soon realized that spear was the least of her problems.
The knuckle knife she stabbed on the back of the subordinate didn"t come and out and her arm was stuck here.
The subordinate used the earth elemental fusion to lock the knife there and grinned cruelly before twisting her arm and slamming his sabre at her.
The Black witch manoeuvred her body along with the twist and left the knife there and barely managed to escape the sabre attack.
The two subordinates stood together as they looked at the lady. These two are the late-stage cultivators at hand currently, but even though they are outnumbering her, they are still feeling the slightest sense of fear as they took in the cold look of the woman.
"You guys are good. But this wouldn"t be enough."
Suddenly her whole body turned black with dark elemental fusion. But the fusion is different from a regular one.
Sam closely observed her movements and the energy circulation as he tried to understand what her speciality could be.
It didn"t take long to find out.
Even though the two men are strong enough and know how to work together well, the initial victory they had in that one exchange didn"t even mean much when they noticed what she did to the next.
The Black witch"s shadow moved along with her and when she is giving off this confusing fast and slow illusory movement, the shadow acted on its own.
Now the battle that was initially a one on two turned into two on two.
The darkness that is being emitted from her body manifested into physical form as they acted like whips, blades, ropes, chords even arms and tentacles based on her whim as she attacked the two of them from all sides.
Sam looked at her for quite a while and suddenly a light build went on in his head.
"The Black Shadow Ghost const.i.tution."
He muttered out loud involuntarily and all of a sudden, the black witch stopped her attacks for a moment.
Giyon and her other subordinates who are trying to enter the fray but couldn"t find an opening took the chance and started attacking her.
Of course, the only ones who are attacking are the middle-stage Consummate cultivators, anyone weaker than that, just took a step back and didn"t even dare to come close.
The Black witch engaged with five opponents at the same time. Her shadow and all the darkness that manifested around turned into a large shield and barrier that blocked the attacks coming from all the directions.
She looked at Sam with a wide smile and said.
"It is indeed right of me to come here. Not only do I get to kill Sonic prince"s daughter, I will also get to obtain you and in turn all your knowledge and skills.
I don"t know where you got the knowledge of these const.i.tutions, but I am sure it will be helpful when I cultivate my new disciple that I am going to get today."
"SHUT UP"
Giyon yelled as she threw a punch straight at her face.
She then pressed her arm over the mouth of a Black witch and said to Sam.
"Sam take the rest of the subordinates and get them into divine dimension. We are escaping."
"We can"t."
"Sam spoke in a serious tone."
"What the f.u.c.k is wrong with you? Why are you so adamant about not getting in?"
"It is not about my stubbornness of adamant thoughts, it is a fact. The only way out of here is either defeating her and making her flee or killing her.
Of course, if she didn"t kill us all first.
Her const.i.tution wouldn"t let us escape from this place."
Giyon suddenly felt something is wrong and immediately lunged backwards. The darkness almost cut her palm open.
Sam looked at the Black witch and asked.
"What do you want from me? Who is the new disciple you are getting and why do you need my help for that?"
His voice was calm, but inside he is filled with trepidation. This is one of the const.i.tutions that he didn"t expect to discover and in fact one of the const.i.tutions he doesn"t want his enemy to have.
If he was in his original body, at least he would have a chance to escape, but now he is completely underprepared.
"Why are you making a conversation with her? Do you want to go on a date or something? I told you to collect all of the subordinates into the divine dimension and go in along with them. We will try to escape."
Giyon yelled once again.
"Why are you trying so hard to not let him have a conversation? Are you scared of him learning something you shouldn"t?" The Black witch spoke with a smile.
