Chapter 247 The Primordial Witch Lilith
Faced with her questioning, the will of the Primordial Witch simply smiled and said, "Mad? No, I'm not crazy. Familias are somewhat useful to me, but not that important. Once I achieve my goal, I can completely transform the life forms of the Ring into Familias."
Then she added, "The Witch Slayer is an ability passed down through our clan since ancient times. I only used it once, which established my status as the Primordial Witch."
She killed all the other members of her tribe, leaving only herself, and thus she naturally became the source of the witches of later generations.
"Once I have control over everything about you, I will use your connection with your body to return to the other world and activate my abilities. Ashe, you will become the sinner who caused the extermination of two races."
"Wishful thinking," Ashe said coldly, quickly switching her expression to a sneer.
Her help arrived.
The primordial witch suddenly had an ominous premonition, and without thinking, she gave an order to the great witch who was waiting nearby.
Anna would naturally obey her orders.
But her actions were ultimately no match for the unexpected.
With a sudden, earth-shaking tremor, a beam of light pierced through the half-collapsed doors of the temple and shot straight toward the skull in front of the throne.
"Not good!" Anna immediately realized that the beam of light was heading towards the magic circle, so she gritted her teeth and stood alone in front of the magic circle.
Her ability is to absorb any energy she comes into contact with and release it back into the environment. Although there is a limit to this ability, she is still willing to take the gamble.
She gambled that the beam of light that posed a threat to her could not break through her limits.
An invisible field was generated centered on Anna, completely obscuring the magic circle behind her and preventing the beam of light from touching it in the slightest.
The blue-white beam of light crashed into the energy-devouring field. Every moment, Anna could feel an astonishing energy flowing into her body from the outside, destroying every cell in her body.
Normally, the energy she absorbs is immediately used to enhance her physique, but this time the situation is different.
This energy is violent and difficult to convert; while stored in the body, it will damage her cells.
Even worse, because the energy kept flowing in, she was unable to release the energy she absorbed.
Her ability is single-threaded; she cannot absorb and release it simultaneously.
Anna cursed inwardly, but her body still gritted its teeth and persevered.
She must not fall down before the ceremony is complete.
Holding onto this belief, her body repeatedly pushed her to the limit, and several times she considered leaving the ring, but her faith always managed to stop her in the end.
The beam of light lasted for ten seconds, and Anna endured the longest ten seconds of her life.
Fortunately, she pulled through.
As the last glimmer of blue faded from her sight, Anna staggered, half-kneeling on the ground, nearly collapsing completely.
"Did they block it? That's great!"
She breathed a sigh of relief, but just as the thought crossed her mind, she saw three more golden lightning bolts shooting in from outside the temple, and the smile on her face immediately froze.
Before she could even berate the enemy for their lack of martial ethics, a thick golden lightning bolt completely engulfed her, along with the protective magic array behind her.
Unsurprisingly, Anna's already collapsing body vanished instantly, and the skull in front of the giant stone throne followed her footsteps, dissipating inch by inch.
Amidst the blinding golden lightning, only a single, ever-present red light, symbolizing danger, remained, enveloping the magic circle and protecting it from being annihilated by the lightning.
"I knew it; she couldn't possibly stop all the attacks on her own."
The Primordial Witch sighed softly, her tone indifferent, as if the one who died was not her faithful follower, but merely an insignificant insect.
"Fortunately, among the witches you brought, there are a few with good aptitude and abilities, who are capable of being used and are promising talents."
A chill ran through her as Aisha looked worriedly at her companions in the magic circle. They were not only unable to move, but their faces were also contorted with pain.
Clearly, they are suffering inhuman torture.
The source of her torment was the invader inside her body.
"What did you do to them?" she demanded.
"I merely borrowed their abilities to unleash their potential," the Primal Witch replied casually, her nonchalant attitude only fueling Aisha's anger.
She was burning with anger, yet powerless to do anything about it—this was the true reflection of her feelings at that moment.
After all, she was just a mass-produced witch who had only been born a short time ago.
Now it seems that if the Primordial Witch wasn't lying to her, her escape was probably orchestrated by someone else, using information from that supposedly unverifiable death rewind to trick her into giving her the information.
If the death rewind is fake, then what information did I receive? The Primordial Witch? No, she seems unaware of this.
As she pondered, Ashe noticed that the golden lightning had finally dissipated and the red light around the magic circle had gradually faded away, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, an even louder sound came from outside the temple.
The doors shattered, and the last remaining rubble dissipated in the previous attack. Outside the hall, several enormous figures entered one after another.
Those were several colossal beasts, each possessing Alpha-level power. If the temple hadn't been spacious enough, it probably wouldn't have been able to accommodate them all at once.
"These are the behemoths that evolved from the loopholes?" The Primordial Witch examined them with interest. "They look pretty good. Once I'm fully recovered, I'll consider turning them into my familiars."
Given Ashe's personality, she should have made a sarcastic remark by now, but she didn't.
Upon seeing these giant beasts with her own eyes, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose in her heart. She felt that she must have seen them before, or even had a close connection with them.
But whenever she thought about it more deeply, she felt like she was touching a thin veil, unable to reach the truth of the matter.
This time was no different, and she didn't have much time to think it over.
In her struggle against the will of the primordial witch, Ashe is at a disadvantage, and her hands and feet are being slowly manipulated.
"Your will is very strong. I didn't expect you to be able to hold me off for so long. You've done your best, mass-produced witch."
The Primordial Witch barely managed to take over the body, stiffly raising her hand to smooth out the breaths shooting in from all directions.
"That's great, thanks to the seven loaves of bread you brought me. Without their help, I would have had to put in a lot more effort."
The seven witches inside the magic circle had collapsed to the ground, their breaths weak.
Their powers were stolen by the Primal Witch and used at her whim.
The move that just soothed the breath was one of the witches' restorative abilities.
"This is one of my favorite abilities, but unfortunately your partner doesn't know how to use it very well." The Primordial Witch chuckled and pointed to one of the giant beasts.
Ashe was forced to watch with her, witnessing firsthand how the giant beast disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist.
With a casual gesture, such a result was achieved, leaving Ash feeling horrified.
Logically, the primordial witch should have been satisfied, but she wasn't; instead, she was completely bewildered.
"So, the origin of this giant beast is a cloud of blood mist?" She frowned slightly, pointing with another finger as if she didn't believe it.
Although the giant beasts were on guard this time, their enormous size became a hindrance, and one unlucky creature was still hit by the burst of spiritual light from the fingertip.
The next moment, the giant beast that was struck followed in the footsteps of its companion, disintegrating into a large cloud of blood mist.
"Is that so too?"
The Primal Witch was very puzzled. In her memory, no matter what kind of creature it was, if it was hit by her restoration spell, it would return to its original state of life, that is, turn into a pool of primordial liquid.
No other creature has ever turned into a cloud of blood mist like them.
Inside the shell, Aisha also looked at the blood mist filling the sky and, for some reason, had a thought that she subconsciously believed they were not dead yet.
They are still alive; they are living beings.
The blood mist spread, enveloping the entire temple, some of it sticking to the skin of the Primordial Witch, but she didn't care.
"The intoxicating stench of blood reminds me of the blood of saints from the Holy See. It's just as fragrant, wouldn't you agree, fellow committee members from the other world?"
She looked at the temple entrance again, her gaze falling on the thirteen figures.
Although her main consciousness has merged with the World Seed, also known as the Ring, she still uses the Witch Factor as her eyes and ears to occasionally keep an eye on the real world.
Naturally, she is quite familiar with today's corporate leaders.
Wieland's face darkened, and the committee member beside him reminded him, "By my authority, that is the culprit that caused our reduced powers."
"The culprit is a mass-produced witch? No, she definitely doesn't have that much power. Who are you?" El questioned.
"If it's you," the Primordial Witch said, a slight smile playing on her lips, "you should have heard of me, Lilith, the Primordial Witch."
Upon hearing this, the committee members reacted with varying expressions.
"Lilith, the Primordial Witch?" Weyland pondered the word, thinking of the various myths and legends implied within it.
Lilith, in some Jewish traditions, was created alongside Adam as his first wife. She later left him due to discord and fell into depravity, becoming a demon who strangled infants.
But in their world, this name is a metaphor for the primordial witch who is a kinslayer.
Because of her brutality, people distorted her name after her death and buried her experiences in obscure legends.
Even today, only a small number of people know the meaning of this name, and the committee members who stand at the pinnacle of power are precisely that small number of people.
Lilith's expression brightened, and she narrowed her eyes. "It seems some people still remember me. But speaking of which, when did you form an alliance with these behemoths?"
During the conversation, the giant beasts did not make a move, seemingly due to some special agreement with the committee.
The committee members exchanged glances and shook their heads, indicating that they had not done such a thing.
"Huh? Really? Are you two in such good sync? I'd better watch out."
Even so, Lilith didn't take it to heart.
No matter how you look at it, she has the advantage against six giant beasts and thirteen enemies all by herself.
