First Use of the Mirror

In Yuffie’s world, there wasn’t much of a concept of color.

With her eyes covered by silk, Yuffie was accustomed to using her spirit to perceive the world most of the time.

Even though the abnormal fever from her childhood had been controlled, her eyes, which had been damaged by the burning for many years, had long since grown used to a life in darkness.

Moreover, possessing spiritual power that could assist her in perceiving her surroundings was already a great improvement from before.

Whether it was a person’s appearance or the surrounding environment, to Yuffie, her perception was like an old television, with only black and white colors.

There was only one time that made Yuffie recall the bright purple buried in her childhood memories.

Under her full preparations that day, many of the knights who had followed her to Laita City couldn’t help but cry out to the witch who had come, strolling through the air.

A strong magic essence fluctuation, representing a Sequence Six, emanated from her body, and the purple magic essence was a byword for her nobility.

The Purple Witch!

Any Church knight who had experienced the battle of Laita City had an indelible and deep impression of this Purple Witch left in their minds.

Yuffie was even more direct, learning her name from the Purple Witch herself.

Su Ran!

This name was deeply embedded in Yuffie’s memory.

Whenever she rested, it would surface in her mind.

She had never thought that at this moment, she would actually encounter this Purple Witch here!

The hazy mist emanating from her body and the frivolous words unique to a witch.

There was no mistake, it was the Purple Witch, Su Ran!

‘How could I run into her here?’

After recognizing Su Ran, Yuffie’s head was throbbing.

She was clearly no longer in the Theocracy, so why would the other party appear here?

Tightening her grip on the reins, Yuffie stopped the knights behind her from drawing their swords.

The knights’ overzealous actions would affect the current fragile balance.

“Witch Su Ran, what are you doing here!”

Yuffie had a clear judgment of her own side’s strength.

With her ability, she could at most only slow the witch’s steps.

To truly fight Su Ran, Gure had to be the one to come.

Since Su Ran had already appeared here, it meant that Gure could sense the Sequence Six aura from the witch’s body.

Realizing that something was wrong, he would definitely rush over.

So, she only needed to stall for a little time, and she would be able to wait for Gure’s assistance.

The main target of her sending Maimai and Tilly to set up the temporary anchor point this time was Yuffie.

Whether it was her need for a way to observe the Holy Stone, or to buy a little more time for Lecy, she needed the cooperation of this Holy Maiden, Yuffie.

“The purpose of my coming here is, of course, to find you.”

Seeing that Yuffie had already recognized her, Su Ran didn’t plan to waste any more words with her.

With a wave of her small hand, the power of her Sequence Six pressed down on Yuffie’s position bit by bit.

Su Ran, who had skillfully mastered this aura, now didn’t even need to act personally.

The pressure generated by the Sequence Six was enough to make Yuffie and the others lose the means to resist.

Compared to Su Ran’s confident and composed demeanor, Yuffie, who was directly facing Su Ran, had a completely different feeling.

Yuffie felt as if she were in the center of a storm that could topple mountains and overturn seas.

Her whole body even swayed uncontrollably from side to side.

The knights behind her performed even worse.

Some of them gritted their teeth and used their knightly swords for support to barely maintain a standing posture.

The only thought in their minds was that they could not bow their heads and admit defeat in front of a witch.

Admit defeat.

“Starlight!”

Looking at the situation before her, Yuffie knew that if she didn’t act, the knights behind her wouldn’t be able to last long under the pressure of a Sequence Six.

So, as soon as she acted, she used the strongest magic she had learned after returning to the Church.

Points of starlight appeared above Su Ran’s position.

Several beams of light locked onto Su Ran and shot towards her.

Faced with the starlight attacking her, Su Ran sighed helplessly, and a strong frosty chill burst out from her hand.

With a loud boom, the starlight completely devoured Su Ran’s figure, not leaving a single trace.

Seeing this scene, Yuffie’s personal guard’s face lit up with joy.

“Her Highness the Holy Maiden’s Starlight magic can borrow the power of the stars in the sky. It is recorded in the scriptures that the sky belongs to the gods. This is equivalent to a blow that has borrowed the power of the gods. Even a witch of a higher sequence level than Her Highness the Holy Maiden would definitely not feel good after taking it head-on!”

The personal guard was already looking forward to the rolling dust and smoke dissipating, revealing the charred and blackened witch’s corpse that had been burned by the light.

However, the reality was the opposite of what the personal guard had thought.

Before the dust and smoke had even dissipated, several beams of light that pierced through the dust and smoke appeared from within, attacking Yuffie.

Sensing the familiar magic aura, an incredulous expression appeared on Yuffie’s face.

In her perception, her own Starlight had already hit the other party, and she had no way of continuing to control the magic.

But why was the Starlight magic now rushing towards her?

In her haste, Yuffie had no better solution than to tear open the magic scroll in her hand and block the attack in front of her.

But even with the help of the magic scroll, the counterattacked magic still injured Yuffie.

Yuffie felt a sweet, fishy taste in her throat.

Caught off guard, her grip on the reins loosened, and she fell off her horse.

“Your Highness the Holy Maiden!”

Seeing this, the personal guard subconsciously wanted to get up, but was pressed back into her original position by Su Ran’s powerful sequence pressure, unable to move.

Fortunately, Yuffie had adjusted her posture while falling, and a somersault to the ground avoided the most embarrassing situation from occurring.

The scene was dead silent.

Even Her Highness the Holy Maiden was no match for this witch before them.

Then what would their fate be?

Su Ran lifted her foot, and her delicate little leather shoes landed in front of Yuffie.

The magic she had just used was the Mirror Reflection she had obtained from Lecy earlier.

It had to be said that the effect of the Mirror Reflection driven by her witch ability was better than Su Ran herself had imagined.

And the magic she had mastered was cheaper than the magic she didn’t know, which made Su Ran have the urge to dabble in more magic.

However, her thoughts were interrupted when her ankle was grabbed.

“If you want to harm them, you’ll have to get past my dead body first!”

Yuffie’s neat white robe was now stained with mud and dirty, but it did not affect the brilliance on her.

‘Now it looks like I’m the villain?’

Su Ran looked at Yuffie at her feet and fell into thought.

She had no intention of killing all the knights, just to knock them all out, so that it would be convenient for her to leave with Yuffie.

But from her image in Yuffie’s eyes, the other party probably wouldn’t believe her.

Then Su Ran could only switch to a method that Yuffie could accept to solve this matter.

“If you want me to let them go, you can. But you have to come with me.”

When she said this, Su Ran felt that she was getting further and further down the path of a villain.
