Chapter 127: 126. The Great Witch's Little Skirmish
Facts proved that the Witch World's teleportation technology was truly advanced. Almost the moment Noe Rose agreed, countless specks of light flooded into the mountaintop private room, and then a figure over two meters tall condensed outside the pavilion.
"Senior Sister, you're here."
Teacher Spider was about to stand up to welcome her, but the Dragon Witch, after entering, didn't even look at her. Her pair of domineering and majestic golden dragon eyes merely scanned the private room, finally settling on a certain Little Witch who had been eating melon and waiting for a show. Immediately, the disdain in her eyes turned into a gentle, flowing tenderness.
"Cough cough..."
Dorothy, who had been happily eating snacks and waiting for the ceremony to begin, eager to see what her roommate's so-called surprise was, was truly surprised now.
When she saw the familiar figure appear, she was so startled by the surprise that a mouthful of melon got stuck directly in her throat, causing her to cough violently.
"Senior Sister, are you okay? Drink some water, drink some water."
The little fox beside her, seeing this, quickly picked up the bottle of drink nearby, ready to pour some water for her Senior Sister to moisten her throat.
Hearing the commotion, the Spider Witch also disregarded her long-lost Senior Sister. Compared to this Senior Sister who had betrayed her, her precious disciple was naturally more important.
Just as she was about to step forward to show some concern and boost her beloved disciple's favorability, a strong hand slapped onto her shoulder.
"Junior Sister Rose, aren't you going to introduce me to these two? Who is that super amazing disciple you just mentioned that you want to raise?"
The Dragon Witch said with a 'kind' expression.
"It's the one coughing, Dorothy. Just as her name implies, she's truly a gift from the gods to me. I came to you, Senior Sister, because I wanted you to help me find out which Great Witch in her family's Dragon Kingdom I should approach to discuss the apprenticeship as soon as possible."
Although the Spider Witch's Spider Sense (SSR) talent was already frantically warning her, Noe Rose wasn't very flustered. After all, this Senior Sister had been abnormally strong since her school days, and her broken talent would always jump when her weak self approached her back then.
After so many years, she had gotten used to it jumping. After all, although Senior Sister looked a bit fierce and wasn't easy to approach, once you truly got to know her, you'd find she was actually quite nice.
Although her broken talent was jumping particularly intensely today, the Spider Witch just assumed it was because they hadn't seen each other for too long, and Senior Sister seemed to have gotten even stronger, which was why her talent was so unstable.
In a daze, she seemed to even see a scene of herself becoming a headless corpse, slumped on the ground.
Wow, good heavens, even Death premonition has appeared this time. It seems Senior Sister's strength is probably already close to that of a Sage. As expected of her. Originally, I thought I'd see her back when I ascended to Peak, but now it seems I might not even be able to catch her exhaust fumes.
Noe Rose mused to herself.
And then...
And then her head was directly grabbed by a dragon claw.
Spider Witch: "???"
Senior Sister, although it's true we haven't seen each other for a long time, isn't your way of expressing emotions a bit off? Normally, shouldn't it be a hug or something?
Besides, it's fine if we mess around in private, but my adorable disciple is here today. Please give me some face, okay? My dignity as a teacher cannot be lost.
Noe Rose thought this, then looked in the direction of her precious disciple.
She saw that the Little Witch, who had previously choked on her melon, now, with a movement of the muscles in her throat, directly crushed the stuck melon to powder. Then, after taking the drink handed to her by the little fox beside her and downing it, she also looked their way.
Finally, the Little Witch opened her mouth and obediently called out a single word.
"Mom."
"Uh..."
The Spider Witch was instantly somewhat startled, yet also somewhat pleased.
Oh, this... Dorothy, although there is indeed a saying among Witches that a teacher for a day is a mother for life, our apprenticeship ceremony hasn't even been held yet. This is a bit too embarrassing.
She thought this, and then heard a response from behind her.
"Mm."
The Dragon Witch smiled and nodded in agreement.
Spider Witch: "..."
Wait, this is a lot of information. Let me process it. Why did my disciple call her 'Mom' and my Senior Sister answered?
"Dorothy, could you please turn around slightly?"
Euphilia said softly with a smile.
"Okay, Mother."
Dorothy was a little scared by her biological mother's murderous aura at the moment, even using honorifics. She quickly and obediently turned around, and also pulled her bewildered junior sister, who still didn't know what was happening, to turn around with her.
Although Dorothy herself didn't know what exactly was happening, why her biological mother would suddenly appear in their private room, and moreover, seemed to be very familiar with her teacher.
The Little Witch was now a little suspicious if her teacher was truly a spy sent by her biological mother to trick her, but with her biological mother's murderous appearance now, she didn't dare to ask anything.
The two Little Witches shivered and turned around, and then they heard the tragic wails of their teacher from behind them.
"Senior Sister, calm down! I can explain, really! Give me a chance!"
"Senior Sister, be gentle! You're hurting me!"
"It's going to crack! It's really going to crack! Senior Sister, if you don't stop, I'll break!"
Crack!
Finally, with a sound like a watermelon cracking open, everything fell silent.
Dorothy: "..."
The Little Witch, who could roughly guess what had happened behind her, was instantly horrified. She slightly twisted her head and used the corner of her eye to glance in the direction of her biological mother and teacher.
Then she saw her biological mother calmly pulling out a white handkerchief to wipe her hands, and the originally clean handkerchief was now covered in a large patch of red and white.
Good heavens, this was truly a forceful skull rupture.
The Little Witch first internally complained about this, and then remembered the seriousness of the situation.
Wait, this isn't the Gladiator Arena! There's no protection of false life, which means...
Oh my god, did my mom just kill my teacher?
Upon realizing this, the Little Witch was instantly bewildered and at a loss.
So, the question is, should I go up and help my biological mother clean up, and then flee together? Or should I shout for revenge for my teacher, and then act righteously against my own kin?
The bewildered Little Witch fell into confusion for a moment.
And the Dragon Witch, who had just killed someone, also noticed her daughter's peeking. She smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"I told you to turn around and not look. Why are you so disobedient, child?"
Euphilia said, her voice still gentle.
Although she was smiling as kindly as possible at the moment, the numerous blood droplets splattered on her face were still trickling down. That blood-stained face, despite being very beautiful, looked terrifying no matter how she looked at it.
Dorothy: "..."
Oh my god, don't come over here!
The Little Witch was completely stunned by this unexpected turn of events. She instinctively hugged her junior sister beside her, trembling.
And seeing her daughter's frightened expression, the simple-minded Dragon Mom finally realized something. She reached up and touched her face, then looked at her blood-stained hands, and was momentarily speechless.
"Alright, stop lying on the ground playing dead. Isn't the ground cold? You've scared the child. Get up and clean up quickly."
Euphilia said impatiently, throwing the handkerchief, which had just been used and was now dirty, onto the headless corpse on the ground, then angrily kicked the corpse.
And then Dorothy watched, even more horrified, as her teacher's corpse, which had died as tragically as a certain Magic Girl Senior Sister, moved.
"It was you who made the first move, Senior Sister, and so ruthlessly too."
The headless teacher, who should have been dead, wobbled to her feet from the ground. She reached up to touch the place where her head should be, but couldn't find it. So she simply pulled off her neck as well and threw it to the ground.
Yes, she really pulled it off. Dorothy saw it clearly; it was as decisive and complete as when she had pulled off the head and neck of a figurine in her previous life.
Afterward, the teacher, now without even a neck, calmly reached into her magic bag and took out a large box. When the box opened, it revealed a neatly arranged box full of identical-looking, but differently made-up, closed-eyed beauty heads.
"Wuwuwu, that one just now was one of my favorite heads! The materials were super expensive, you know! Senior Sister, you're really too cruel! I told you I could explain!"
Teacher Spider reached into the box, took out a head, plugged it into the middle of her shoulders, then adjusted it by shaking her new neck and new head, complaining as she did so.
"I think the reason you haven't gotten married all these years is because of this broken magic of yours. Unless it's someone who's into dolls like you, who would fall for someone who's modified herself into a puppet?"
The Dragon Witch, however, said angrily, then snapped her fingers, and a cleaning spell made the bloodstains on her body vanish. Only then did she comfort her daughter, who was still stunned with fear.
"Don't be afraid. Your teacher and I are just playing a game. It's just a little skirmish between friends."
Dorothy: "..."
The Little Witch's worldview was being refreshed.
My blind date stood me up, so I came back to write. Yay, I escaped a disaster today.
