Yuffie Walks into the Trap

The time was before the eruption of magic essence, at a location several dozen kilometers away from the army’s encampment.

Two figures slowly descended from the sky.

These two figures were Tilly and Maimai, whom Su Ran had mentioned before.

After giving them their mission, Su Ran had turned into points of starlight and temporarily left.

“I didn’t expect Lady Su Ran to have such a precious flight magic. Most importantly, she was willing to share it with you for free.”

As her feet touched the ground again, Tilly, after personally experiencing the freedom of flying in the sky, looked at Maimai with envy.

From Tukulu to here, the whole journey had been made possible by Maimai using the Elven Wings to carry Tilly.

Otherwise, according to their previous pace, it would have taken them at least half a day to get here.

This speed was all thanks to the flight magic Maimai used.

It was no wonder Tilly was envious of Maimai.

“Alright, this flight magic was also learned from a scroll Lady Su Ran gave me. Why don’t you go and ask her after this mission is over?”

Being looked at with such envious eyes by Tilly, Maimai felt a little flustered and a little uncomfortable.

So, she could only change the subject back to the business at hand in front of Tilly.

“This is a mission personally entrusted to us by Lady Su Ran. We must complete it beautifully. Did you bring the thing?”

“Don’t worry. Because the thing couldn’t fit into the ring, I’ve been holding it in my hand and protecting it.”

With that, Tilly raised her hand, and an anchor point with a magnificent appearance appeared, constantly distorting the surrounding space.

“As long as the thing is here, it’s fine. Let’s confirm the procedure one more time.”

Seeing that the thing Lady Su Ran had entrusted to them was here, Maimai also breathed a sigh of relief and began to coordinate the next steps with Tilly.

“Plant the anchor point.”

“Then use our witch abilities to leave quickly.”

The two of them both stated what they needed to do and nodded in confirmation.

This was the mission Su Ran had given them.

“Then let’s do it.”

Without further ado, Tilly’s mind moved, and the anchor point floating in her hand gradually left her control and rose into the air.

After the anchor point had risen to a certain position, the space around it was constantly being torn apart.

Tilly was on high alert, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

The leakage from any one of the spatial rifts would be enough to turn them into fragments.

For the setup of the anchor point this time, considering Tilly’s sequence level, Su Ran had already injected a large amount of magic essence in advance.

Tilly just needed to plant the anchor point at the scene.

But in the process of planting the anchor point, they personally experienced the terrifying amount of magic essence Lady Su Ran possessed.

Just the magic essence required to set up the anchor point was enough to drain both of them dry.

If Su Ran hadn’t injected the magic essence in advance, it would have been impossible for the two of them to set up the anchor point on their own.

Because the magic essence was injected in advance, without Su Ran’s personal control, the process of setting up the anchor point would definitely cause a considerable disturbance.

Especially the high-ranking members of the Church’s army.

After one witch attack, they would definitely be on high alert and would not allow any accidents to happen.

So, Su Ran had specially chosen a location that would take even a Sequence Six some time to reach.

This time was enough for Tilly and Maimai to complete the setup and also to escape.

The originally agitated anchor point gradually became stable, and the surrounding torn space also gradually began to stabilize.

This was the sign that the anchor point setup was complete.

“Alright, our mission is complete! I really hope that one day I can have as much magic essence as Lady Su Ran.”

Seeing the anchor point become stable, Tilly’s eyes were full of joy.

After confirming that the anchor point setup was stable, she immediately activated her witch ability and set up an illusion between the two of them, while Maimai picked up Tilly and used her witch ability to run at high speed towards Tukulu.

Compared to flying in the sky and being a target, Maimai’s witch ability was clearly a better way to move.

With the illusion Tilly had set up around them, it could delay for a while, making it impossible for people to distinguish them, which was enough for Maimai to pull away a sufficient distance from the enemy.

Su Ran had chosen the two of them also out of consideration for their escape.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was already close at hand.

Even if the chosen location was far from the Sequence Six, if they acted quickly, the people from the Church should be arriving soon.
Fortunately, Tilly and Maimai had already run a long way at this point.

Even if they were curious about the function of the anchor point, now was not the time to discuss it.

They needed to do their best to leave this place.

“Stop!”

Riding on a horse, Yuffie raised her hand, signaling the personal guards behind her to stop.

Behind her were the guards Gure had chosen to protect her.

A strange-looking device appeared in front of Yuffie.

For such a device to appear in the wilderness, she was cautiously on guard, constantly wary that this was a plot by the Witch’s Society.

The magic essence aura Yuffie had sensed before had emanated from this device.

Most importantly, she also felt the power of space from it.

The combination of the massive magic essence and the dangerous power of space made Yuffie have to take this strange device seriously.

“Arrow of Radiance!”

She casually threw out an arrow, probing towards the device.

But the arrow shattered as soon as it touched the surface of the device, and the attacked device stood motionless in its original place.

“Oh my, what a coincidence!”

A voice came from the empty space in front of her, making Yuffie’s body tense up.

She subconsciously looked around, searching for the source of the voice.

She felt that this voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t think of who it belonged to.

Yuffie’s personal guards and the knights responsible for protecting her had already assumed a defensive posture, ready to meet any attack that might appear.

“I was originally going to find you at your encampment, but I didn’t expect you to walk right into my trap.”

With this sentence, Su Ran gradually revealed her figure.

She hadn’t expected that in the time it took her to collect her money, she would see Yuffie, whom she had been looking for, automatically appear in front of the anchor point.

“Who are you?”

Seeing a young girl of about the same age as her appear, a look of confusion appeared on Yuffie’s stunningly beautiful face.

This young girl’s appearance was in no way inferior to her own, and she even had a magic that made people unconsciously want to look at her.

But for such an impressive young girl, Yuffie had no memory of knowing her, which shouldn’t be.

Logically, even if she were a witch, after seeing her face, she should have remembered who she was, not like now, with no impression at all.

“Oh! I remember now. You should know who I am in this form, right?”

Gradually, the young girl’s figure became fainter and fainter, leaving only a purple mist lingering around her.

Seeing the young girl in this state, Yuffie’s back was instantly covered in a cold sweat, and her hand trembled uncontrollably.

Ignoring the knights around her, she cried out, “It’s you! The purple witch, Su Ran!”

Instantly, Yuffie’s heart turned cold.
