Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 273 Chapter 273: A Witch? What Witch?

"And to create such a low, evil, and vulgar version of me!"

"I will kill you, no, killing you a thousand times wouldn't be enough!"

Artius, with eyes red in every sense, raged at Renji and the others.

Especially when she saw another version of herself summoned by Renji's brand.

Shrouded in holy light, radiating a white halo all around her.

But what about those shamelessly exposed, smooth and slender legs under the high-slit nun's attire?

And what about the evil and ample form that stretched the front of the nun's attire so taut and full?

The only similarity between her and Artius might just be their faces.

However, on this identical face, the counterpart seemed to express a kind of vulgar happiness upon seeing the young man, a sentiment Artius had never seen and despised.

That's why the witch was so unable to accept, so angry, and so jealous of this almost perfect version of her, or rather, another possible version of herself.

Renji could understand this contrast.

After all, in the world of Artius, she had always been wandering the wilderness until she was deceived by the Tainted Miasma and fell into witchhood. Thus, suffering from malnutrition for a long time, being in a state of constant hunger, naturally, her physical development was hindered.

In contrast, Suthia's key turning point was when she was taken in by "Ashen"

Upon joining his gathering place, not to mention anything else, he was willing to allocate all resources of the gathering place to support this little nun he had found.

Preferring his "main character" to starve, Renji would not allow Suthia's hunger level to drop below 90%.

With nutrition kept up, correspondingly, Suthia's overall development also followed suit.

So to say

"Thia, I'm not trying to mock you, just... calm down, we can talk this out slowly"

Renji, seeing the nun's expression darken, felt a twinge of worry. Before he could finish his soothing words, Suthia's cold voice rang out.

Unlike the witch's forceful screaming, the nun's voice was clear and not loud, but its effect was no less impactful, echoing across the entire battlefield.

-"Holy Spirit Art: Twin Eyes of Purification"-

-"Divine Blessing Art: Veil of Sanctity"-

-"Holy Word Art: Ultimate Insight"-

The light surrounding the nun seemed to surge wildly at that moment, with the outer halo starting to materialize into a veil of silk, cloaking Suthia in a layer of white mist.

Then, under the veil, the nun's sea-blue eyes deepened immeasurably, resembling the world's clearest gemstones.

Anything that these eyes gazed upon could no longer hide anything, exposing their weaknesses in full view before Suthia.

The witch across was no exception, feeling as if stripped naked, leaving her extremely uncomfortable and fearful at heart.

Struggling to retaliate, the witch once again opened the Tainted Miasma portal that had destroyed the machine servants before, unleashing countless brutal Tainted monsters to rush at the nun.

Unfortunately, they couldn't even breach the halo of light surrounding the nun, dissolving rapidly upon contact with the light, like ice cubes thrown into boiling water.

"Banishing Holy Domain."

Centered on Suthia, pillars engraved with sacred runes descended from the sky, bringing a series of dull thuds to the bloody red land.

In total, seventy-two holy pillars stood majestically from all directions on the battlefield. Then, light burst forth from these pillars, with each pillar connected by holy light, resonating with each other. Within a few breaths, the Tainted Miasma on the battlefield was greatly dispersed, reducing the concentration of Tainted Miasma to an extreme low, transforming the area into a sacred domain filled only with holy light.

As for the Tainted monsters inside, once they lost the surrounding Tainted environment, they were like dehydrated fish, not requiring Suthia to lift even a finger. The Tainted monsters perished in the holy light, suffocating to death within the holy domain.

"You…!"

"This power, how, how do you have it?!"

"You weren't chosen by Miasma, so why do you have this power, where does it come from, who are you!"

Before the witch in the holy domain could finish speaking, Suthia seemed unwilling to see, hear, or allow this Artius in front of Renji to make even a breath's worth of movement.

"Banishing Light of Redemption."

"Holy Flames of Sanctity"

"Supreme Holy Scripture—Open!"

The bloody red sky shook violently, and in this world dominated by Miasma, the heavens were forcibly torn open, revealing a ray of divine light that began to illuminate the land. Countless rays of light shone directly on the witch.

To normal people, the holy light is a redemptive force that brings back from the brink of death, but to a witch, a Tainted Miasma minion like her, it is the greatest disaster. Her appearance, formed by the power of the Taint Miasma, her crimson long dress, and the giant black scythe in her hand, all disintegrated under the light of redemption.

Then, white flames rose around her, initially just flickers of fire, but quickly became raging flames that engulfed the witch entirely.

Finally, even after being burned to ashes in front of Suthia, a book that seemed to gather all the power of the holy churches of the Holy Kingdom slowly opened. The runes and words within the scripture turned into merciless blades, beginning to slaughter the remaining Tainted aura of the witch, like a storm of holy light.

In just a few seconds, wave after wave of dazzling holy light almost blinded Renji, who could barely keep his eyes open, only feeling that the witch had almost no power to resist in front of the real Suthia, being utterly crushed.

When the screen of holy light finally subsided somewhat, Renji looked towards where the witch had been, only to find no witch at all, just a very faint and weak shadow, like the last bit of Taint Miasma escaping from the witch's body after her elimination.

But Suthia obviously had no intention of letting this go.

To see such a version of herself, so embarrassing and completely a dark history of herself, and that it was seen by her Lord, how could she accept it!!

'Silent Word of Darkness'

The nun moved so fast Renji couldn't see clearly, and with a slash of a black scythe, she cut the last Tainted shadow in two, completely erasing any trace of "Artius" from the world of Dream Zero.

After doing all this, Suthia seemed to have let go of a weight in her heart, gently floating down from the sky.

The veil of divine protection surrounding her dissolved, her deep sea-blue eyes returned to normal, and the pillars of the "Holy Domain" around her dissipated.

Renji couldn't help but express his frustration: "Thia, actually, I had some questions I wanted to ask the witch"

"Eh? Witch? What witch? Is there a witch here, My Lord? I didn't see any?"

Suthia acted as if everything that had just happened never did, as if she had just logged in, tilting her head and looking at Renji with a gentle and kind gaze.
