"Alright then, let's see the power of the legendary witch."
Mo Shuying stood on the hilt of a sword like an immortal swordsman, extending his right hand with two fingers pointed like a sword. Innumerable longswords instantly erupted from the ground around him!
Their sharp blades aimed at Medea, then rapidly descended with a wave of Mo Shuying's right hand.
Though they appeared to be swords, their impact upon landing was comparable to cannon fire. Medea immediately unfurled her bat-wing cape, using flight to evade the attack.
"Damn it!"
Medea knew that leaving Ryuudou Temple would significantly weaken her. Both the power of her magic and her Mana reserves had greatly diminished.
After dodging a longsword attack, she turned to retaliate! Medea possessed the High-Speed Divine Words skill, allowing her to chant spells rapidly for near-instantaneous effects. With a raised staff, she unleashed a fierce burst of Magic Cannon fire!
*"Boom!"*
The Magic Cannon was impressively powerful, but Mo Shuying remained utterly unfazed.
"Is that all?"
Mo Shuying didn't even bother to dodge. Two longswords crossed in front of him, blocking the Magic Cannon. Mo Shuying reached out and grabbed one of them—a silver-white longsword. The moment Mana was infused, a giant light sword, dozens of meters long, extended from it! He swung the longsword! The sword light swept across the surroundings!
"This is!"
Medea quickly expended a large amount of Mana to teleport and dodge. That sword strike was incredibly fast; if she hadn't reacted, she might have died on the spot!
"Revolving Sword of Victory, not bad."
After the strike, the longsword in Mo Shuying's hand crumbled inch by inch. It was a fake, after all, not only a level lower than the original but also far weaker in durability.
But it didn't matter. These weapons had already left their mark on this world. Even if Mo Shuying ignored them, they would automatically recover shortly. For Mo Shuying, they were just consumables.
Speaking of consumables, Mo Shuying grabbed another sword.
This was a strange black longsword that shrunk slightly when Mo Shuying held it. A longbow appeared in his other hand. He drew the bow, nocked an arrow, and aimed at Medea.
"Scarlet Hound of the Red Plains, pierce through! Go!"
*"Bang!"*
The black sword was shot out! It flew towards Medea!
Only at moments like this did Mo Shuying feel like he was truly using the Archer Class Card.
"Magic Bullet!"
Medea quickly ascended to dodge, waving her hand and unleashing a shower of Magic Bullets at Mo Shuying!
She thought that by dodging first, she could avoid the Scarlet Hound's shot, but she didn't know that the Scarlet Hound of the Red Plains was a Noble Phantasm with tracking capabilities! As long as the shooter was alive, it would hit its target no matter what!
"Whoosh!"
The Scarlet Hound of the Red Plains, which had been flying vertically, suddenly turned sharply upward! It pursued Medea!
"You! Confinement!"
Medea lightly tapped her staff in the air, leaving a magical trap. Although the Scarlet Hound could track, it couldn't avoid traps! The moment it flew through the sky, it triggered the restriction!
"Hum!"
A circle of magic patterns appeared, binding the Scarlet Hound. No matter how the magic sword struggled, it couldn't break free.
Medea breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the very next second!
*"Boom!!"*
A colossal stone sword, like a mountain, descended from the sky! It fell heavily, casting a large shadow!
*"Bang!!"*
In an instant, dust surged from the ground. Medea burst out of the dust, flying rapidly, her heart still pounding. She had narrowly avoided being hit by that enormous stone sword.
"Damn it! What a troublesome guy!"
Medea gritted her teeth. At this point, she had no reason to hold back. She had to go all out!
"Go! My masterpiece!"
Medea raised her hand and threw out a white ball. The white ball grew rapidly against the wind, expanding until it was clear it was a sphere made of bones!
"Click, click, click!"
When the white ball expanded to its limit, an ear-splitting grinding sound of bones erupted. The white ball unfurled, a pair of bone wings stirring up a fierce wind, followed by a hideous body resembling a giant dragon!
"Roar!!"
The bone beast roared, its presence astonishing.
Medea possessed the skill to create Dragon Tooth Warriors. This was her strongest Dragon Tooth Warrior, assembled from the bones of various animals!
This wasn't actually a bone dragon. Bone dragons were mythical beasts of a fantastical level that Medea couldn't summon. This monster before her was, at best, a greatly enlarged lizard with two wings.
But even a lizard, it was a very powerful lizard.
"Roar!"
The lizard roared, flying rapidly towards Mo Shuying.
A colossal creature flew straight at him, but Mo Shuying remained completely unperturbed.
"You're just a live target."
As soon as he spoke,
*BOOM!*
Another emerald mountain-like sword descended from the sky! It plunged directly into the bone lizard's back, instantly sending countless bone fragments flying. The heavy sword, like a mountain, pinned the bone lizard to the ground.
At the same time!
*SWISH!*
The Scarlet Hound tore free from its restraints! In a flash, it appeared before Medea!
*THUD!*
"Ah!!"
The sword pierced Medea's shoulder blade, injuring the agile mage.
"You lost."
She was only hit once, but the outcome could already be declared. If Mo Shuying wished, he could instantly turn Medea into a pincushion.
"I lost."
Medea clutched her shoulder, her face drenched in sweat. Mo Shuying snapped his fingers, and the Scarlet Hound vanished.
Watching Medea slowly descend to the ground, Mo Shuying stepped off his longsword and walked towards her.
Seeing Mo Shuying approach, Medea gritted her teeth in pain and said, "Please! Everything was my doing, it has nothing to do with anyone else. If you want to kill me, just do it. I hope my death can appease your anger and you won't involve anyone else, okay?"
Medea pleaded, fearing Mo Shuying would act against Souichirou Kuzuki.
Mo Shuying frowned, then a red magic spear appeared in his hand.
"Are you mentally prepared?"
"Yes, I'm willing to bear everything."
"Are you really willing to leave just like that? You won't see Souichirou Kuzuki again."
"...?"
Medea looked at Mo Shuying in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
But then she saw Mo Shuying suddenly thrust the long spear forward!
*THUD!*
The tip of the spear struck the earth but did not pierce Medea.
Mo Shuying waved his hand, dispersing everything around them, and said, "That's enough. There's no need to make it seem like a life-or-death farewell. I never said I would take your life, did I?"
Mo Shuying raised his hands and stretched, then the surrounding space began to disappear. In a blink of an eye, the two were back in the front courtyard of Ryuudou Temple.
"Medea!"
Souichirou Kuzuki was there. Seeing Medea appear, he immediately went to her side. When he saw the bloodstain on Medea's shoulder, he frowned. Mo Shuying clearly felt a murderous intent, the murderous intent of a killer.
"Master Souichirou!"
However, Medea hugged Souichirou tightly. She understood that Mo Shuying probably wouldn't kill her now.
The feeling of surviving a calamity was truly wonderful, and most importantly, she could be with Souichirou again.
Mo Shuying shrugged, looking at the affectionate pair, then turned to leave, saying, "Our scores are settled. I hope you won't provoke me again in the future. There won't be a next time."
