Blood Melting Domain

“The so-called magic essence crystals are made by us using our witch abilities.”

Receiving this answer from Lecy, Su Ran was not surprised.

When she had scouted the mines near Tukulu, she had already guessed the current situation.

“Only a few people know this secret. If it were to leak, we would be in trouble.”

Su Ran understood Lecy’s worries.

With only one Sequence Five witch, the Witch’s Society couldn’t protect everyone comprehensively.

Once someone learned the truth about the magic essence crystals, it was very likely they would start getting ideas about the witches themselves.

After all, not everyone could casually produce magic essence crystals like Su Ran, so the price of these things naturally rose.

“Don’t worry, no one else will know.”

Having received Su Ran’s assurance, Lecy was able to breathe a little easier.

The crisis of the Witch’s Society had not yet been resolved.

It was not the time for the news about the crystal mine to be leaked.

“What’s the plan next? When you took out the crystal mine to threaten all of Tukulu, you must have already thought of a retreat plan.”

Su Ran didn’t rush Lecy to answer her own questions, but instead continued to ask about her future plans.

“The four major mercenary groups and the Roland Chamber of Commerce, who have all suffered a loss, will not let this go. I believe it won’t be long before the news of Lecy threatening the lives of all the mercenaries in Tukulu with the entire city becomes common knowledge.”

“At that time, even without the mercenary groups making a move, it will be difficult for the Witch’s Society to remain in Tukulu.”

Hearing this, Lecy gave a bitter smile.

“There was no other way. If I hadn’t used that move, the Witch’s Society would have been jointly annihilated by them just now.”

Although Erke had made it sound nice, Lecy knew that the other party had no intention of protecting the witches.

The main reason they were able to stay in Tukulu before was simply because the Witch’s Society could continuously “mine” magic essence crystals.

“According to the original plan, we were to set off for the Arctic Ice Field before the Theocracy’s army arrived. The living conditions there are harsh, but it’s vast and sparsely populated, which is a good choice for witches.”

Lecy’s eyes drooped as she continued.

“But after we go to the ice field, we will lose the ability to continue accepting our kin.”

Looking at the map, Tukulu was located at the junction of several countries.

Apart from the Theocracy, the journey to Tukulu from other countries was not difficult.

If the Witch’s Society really chose to move to the ice field, then the Theocracy’s army would only need to set up roadblocks at the entrance to the ice field and strengthen patrols.

Then, in theory, the Witch’s Society would be unable to accept any other witches.

“But now I don’t have to worry. With Lady Su Ran here, we can temporarily stay in Tukulu.”

Lecy secretly glanced at Su Ran.

Seeing that she showed no dissatisfaction with her words, she felt relieved.

The highest-ranking individual in Tukulu was Ken, whom Su Ran had just fought.

With Su Ran holding the line, there was indeed no need to lead all the witches to the Arctic.

They could also make more preparations before the Theocracy’s army arrived.

Su Ran understood Lecy’s thinking.

As long as the Witch’s Society’s fist was big enough, even if the mercenaries in Tukulu were displeased, they would have no way to stop the witches from continuing to stay here.

At that time, they could effectively resist the Theocracy’s attack right here in Tukulu.

However, the days in Tukulu could be described as having a wolf at the front door and a tiger at the back.

Facing the five major powers in the city and the impending Theocracy army, the Witch’s Society now felt a bit like it was swaying in a storm.

“What about the Theocracy’s army? I heard the one they sent to lead the team is a Sequence Five.”

With a Sequence Five, plus a host of Judgment Knights, many people in Tukulu would choose to stand by and watch.

This time, the Witch’s Society had offended most of the powers in Tukulu at once.

They couldn’t wait for the Witch’s Society to fall on hard times and would definitely not lend a helping hand when the Theocracy arrived.

In addition, with the threat Lecy had used this time, they would be burning incense if the people of Tukulu didn’t open the city gates to let the enemy in.

“I also have a way to deal with the Theocracy’s army.”

Lecy didn’t explicitly state her method for dealing with the Theocracy’s army, but said she wanted to keep Su Ran in suspense and would only reveal it at the right time.

Before that, she hoped Su Ran would have enough patience to wait.

Su Ran didn’t press further.

The Theocracy’s army was targeting the Witch’s Society.

If Lecy showed signs of exhaustion and couldn’t hold on, that would be the best time for her to act.

“It’s time for business.”

Su Ran’s expression turned serious, suddenly letting Lecy experience what the other leaders had felt when facing Su Ran.

That feeling of being suppressed all over.

With just a thought from Su Ran, the pressure on her would continue to increase.

After hearing Su Ran’s purpose for coming and her questions, Lecy had already decided to do her utmost to find the answers Su Ran wanted.

Lecy’s magic essence was draining away frantically.

From Su Ran’s perspective, it seemed as if the magic essence in this space was flowing into a bottomless pit.

Suddenly, Lecy, who had been flipping through the book with her eyes closed, turned pale.

Seeing that something was wrong, Su Ran directly used her magic essence to cut off Lecy’s magic essence supply.

“Thank you, Lady Su Ran, for saving me once again.”

“No, what just happened was a result of you helping me look for information. It doesn’t count as saving you specifically. Did you find anything?”

There were two questions Su Ran had asked Lecy to look into.

One was the whereabouts of the Shadow Witch and how to capture her.

The other was what the magic formation that had appeared in Hermel was.

“Regarding the whereabouts of the Shadow Witch you mentioned, Lady Su Ran, I couldn’t find it. But as for a way to capture her, you could try to cut out a slice of space. Her ability probably can’t pass through space yet.”

Although she couldn’t find the Shadow Witch’s whereabouts, finding a way to deal with her was still a good thing.

Su Ran was now confident that as long as the Shadow Witch appeared, she could keep her there.

“Then what about the second question?”

Hearing Su Ran’s words, and recalling her recent experience, Lecy’s face turned pale for a moment, not yet having recovered.

After a while, she composed herself and reorganized her words.

“When I tried to find out from the book what the magic formation left in Hermel was, a chaotic will came from an unknown location.”

“A chaotic will?” Su Ran asked.

Lecy nodded in confirmation.

“It refers to a chaotic and disorderly will. Just a sliver of it was enough to make me get lost in it.”

Recalling her experience while searching for the answer, Lecy was still a little shaken.

After coming into contact with the chaotic will, she had once thought she wouldn’t be able to come back.

“But after a long time, I suddenly felt a force calling to me, guiding my direction while I was lost. I took the last chance to look back and try to understand the information left in the will, and finally, I got three words.”

Lecy looked up and said to Su Ran seriously, “Blood Fusion Domain!”
