Whoosh!
A colossal burning peach blossom bloomed in the dim starlight, replacing the shattered figure of the Witch.
Soon, the petals drifted down, bursting with sound, and ripples of crystalline clarity spread around the petals, ripples created by the shattering of Time and Space Power.

Fourteen stars flickered with uncertain brightness, shimmering in an elusive array of colors.
"You're certainly not easy to kill."
A hoarse, unpleasant voice tinged with a touch of rampant slyness echoed from behind the fourteen stars: "I lost two heads, and all it got me was a flower... and a book? That's just not worth it."
Amidst the conversation, a slender, pitch-black shadow swept out, capturing the Law book left by Shi Hui into the depths of the starlight, revealing a long and distinctively scaled serpent's tail.
"...Without the Law book, how much Magic can you use!"
