Chapter 928 The Witch Of Depravity

Moments later, Fortuna landed on the ground, informing everyone of the situation. I have confirmed once again. There are no parasites left within a ten-kilometer radius.

"What if some coincidence manages to escape and cause trouble later on?" Ella felt worried.

"Even if there is a parasite that manages to escape, they won't cause any significant trouble. Their host tree is already dead, and they can only manipulate one living thing before dying. They can't become another Misharan Tree. Also, I'm sure the beastkins can solve such problems without our help." Nell shares her insights for all to hear.

"O-oh! So, we can call our mission accomplished?" Xentia dropped her fist onto her open palm.

"Yup, let's pick up Gio and Cherub before heading back. I'm craving some head pats and fluffy times~ Also, congrats to you, Yuuki, Ai. You fought so passionately in this minigame." Vanessa put her hands together and then came over to congratulate the winners.

"Hehe, we saved the day. Everyone is happy and we feel satisfied after testing our new strength. However, we still need to improve our overall capabilities so our master blessing can multiply our power more!" Yuuki conveyed her aspirations for everyone to remember.

"That's for sure. We can't slack off. Let's go back to forest town." Sylvia flew out of the deep forest area.

"Let's go!" Xentia raised her high fist.

"..." Elysia was speechless when she saw the girls going back to forest town.

"What's wrong, Ely? You didn't expect Yuuki to catch some parasites to give Ai an extra score? The two of them had a fierce competition for first place, but Yuuki was smart enough to exploit my score system." Lifa smiled in amusement.

"No, that's a good thing for Yuuki to do. Ai isn't good at getting along with others, but she will get along better with Yuuki now, then to everyone. It's just like what Sylvi did to Yuuki. Our little devil keeps on picking on and bothering Yuuki until they got along well enough." Elysia grasped her hand and smiled.

"Yeah, Yuuki is no longer lonely, and Ai doesn't only have you. Let's go back to Evroria Palace now. I'm sure the girls will crave some praises and head pats." Elena nodded slightly.

"Alright, eh?" Elysia saw her purple communications talisman glow.

Doll One's voice then came to Elysia's mind. 'Master, I found the enemy's hideout. I managed to get rid of their trap. However, the Ruvoid Avatar had already fled before I arrived.'

'It's okay. We will encounter them sooner or later. Is your presence exposed to them? Report the situation on your side.' Elysia felt that Doll One did a good job. She expected Ruvoid Avatars to appear in the surroundings. Still, their enemies had yet to confront their force, considering that two avatars had already fallen.

'My whereabouts remain hidden in this mission. However, the ancient tomb has been vandalized and the dead's remains have been stolen. No bones were left behind, but they seemed to be targeting certain graves since they only damaged a few.' Doll One reported her situation.

'They're gathering the dead's remains from various races, huh... They're after the ones who used to have a glorious past, whether they're rulers, nobles, or heroes. The higher ups of the kingdoms all over the world are in uproar and anger because of this situation.' Elysia heaved a subtle sigh.

'They prepared a strong undead army? It's meaningless before true might, no matter how much they prepare to face us.' Doll One snorted disdainfully.

'...' Elysia felt that Doll One showed emotion in those words. If she didn't know that Doll One had no spirit, she would have thought Doll One was a successful artificial human-like Xentia, not a doll.

'The next problem is that someone who previously was with you has now been captured by the enemy, master. They have an unknown sacred ritual, but I reckon it has something to do with the summoning ritual.' Doll One reported another situation she had encountered recently but took no further action.

'Someone who was previously with me? Who are you referring to? Tell me the details.' Elysia squinted her eyes. The enemy wanted to lure the big fish by capturing his acquaintances?

'She is the pink mermaid with human legs. She is currently tied up and hanging upside down above a massive formation. Her blood is extracted to the ritual circle. Ah, it was indeed a summoning formation and it had already activated. What shall I do, master?' Doll One surveyed the large mansion below her.

'Dori was used as a catalyst in the summoning ritual? This is just like Ella's case. Can you cancel their summoning ritual and save Dori?' Elysia felt restless and panicked inside, but she tried her best to remain calm.

'The summoning ritual is impossible to completely cancel since it's already been activated. I will save the pink mermaid as you command, master. What is the target's safety priority value?' Doll One flew down to the mansion.

'Eight. Share your location with me. I'll be there in the blink of an eye.' Elysia felt the need to go there immediately.

'Affirmative. I was in a mansion by the lake two hundred and three kilometers to seven o'clock from Evroria Palace. I've come out of a separate dimension, and you can trace my location now, master.' Doll One opened a dimensional rift and stepped back into the real world. She landed on the mansion's roof and stepped inside as a shadow.

The lines of communication were then closed, and Elysia panicked for real. "This is bad! Doll One reports that Dori has been kidnapped by the enemy."

"She can save that pink mermaid easily. So, no Ruvoid Avatar?" Lifa wasn't worried because she knew Doll One was more than enough to complete the task.

"The Ruvoid Avatar destroyed the ancient tombs and collected the dead's remains like the incident on the Human Continent. Doll One didn't find the Ruvoid Avatar. However, the problem isn't that. Dori was made a sacrifice in a summoning ritual like Ella's case! We're going there now." Elysia told everyone the gravity of the situation.

"Then this is bad. What kind of creature are they trying to awaken this time?" Lifa's expression suddenly changed. She quickly got everyone out of the separate dimensions, and Elysia used an instant teleportation technique to Doll One's location.

"This must be the place. Doll One's signal brought us here." Elysia held the purple communications talisman and stared at the mansion by the lake below her.

*Rumble!*

A minor earthquake occurred underground, causing slight tremors in the surrounding area.

*Boom!*

A violent clash of magic occurred, creating a massive explosion that reduced the mansion to rubble. Two entities clad in dark light emerged from underground, continuing their fight in the sky.

"Hmph, weak. Have the creatures in this era regressed so much?" Dori snorted contemptuously, controlling the wind like a crashing ocean wave.

"My objective is to bring back the girl you possessed alive. Be thankful I didn't blow you up in our first clash." Doll One gathered a lump of dark matter in her hand and released it to restrain the pink mermaid.

"Useless." Dori swam in the sky agilely, dodging the enemy's attacks perfectly. "I have devoured her. She is godd as dead, and you are the one who will come next."

The hawk-like man crawled out of the wreckage and cheered excitedly upon seeing the intense battle in the sky. "Wahaha! Good, so powerful. O, my witch, please defeat her and we will go to the capital city soon. I will ascend the throne as the new Emperor, not that lowly lizard!"

"Arrogant, even though you can't assess my power? I shall-" Doll One chased after the pink mermaid and was about to launch another attack to catch her target. Still, she suddenly noticed the presence of Elysia and the Goddesses. She made an electromagnetic burst and then rushed to her master.

*Boom* *Zap* *Zap*

"Kuh!" Dori jerked and fell, but she quickly stabilized herself mid-air. "Tch, I let my guard down. That's what comes from the mouth of someone covering her face?"

"Master, this one failed to save the pink mermaid before you arrived. Someone who claims to be the witch of depravity has already taken over the pink mermaid body." Doll One knelt down in the sky.

"You did your job well. The witch of depravity? We will deal with her. Catch that man. Don't let him get away." Elysia gave her orders because she knew it was already beyond Doll One's capability.

"Affirmatives." Doll One disappeared and reappeared behind the man. She beat him black and blue using various kinds of magic.

"Wagh, wack, ugh! Ouch! Witch, save me from this brute!" The hawk-like man screamed like a mauled turkey.

"Since when do I need to hear your orders to do my things?" Dori frowned and looked up at the sky. She could see four unfathomable ladies there, looking down at her.

However, her instincts told her they were much stronger than the girl she had just fought.

"Fck it, this lady doesn't have time for this." Dori decided to run away because she didn't want to die again.

*Swoosh*

Dori shot like a missile, fleeing wherever it was. However, someone suddenly appeared before her.

"No rush. Your business is not finished here." Elena raised her palm, creating a force field to prevent Dori from escaping.

"What the-" Dori hit an invisible cushion and got stuck there like she was glued to the air.

Elysia, Lifa, and Rhea immediately surrounded Dori from all sides. They would do something to the witch and save the real Dori.
