Hearing Su Ran’s words, Yuffie struggled to get up, her body erupting with its full power.
“Don’t think you’ve already won. I won’t be defeated by you so easily!”
‘This witch is truly naive, thinking she can win just like this. The Sequence Six magic essence aura must have already spread. After Knight-Captain Gure realizes something is wrong, he will be on his way here.’
‘Stall the witch’s steps and wait for Gure’s arrival.’
This thought became Yuffie’s current focus.
“Oh? I thought you were already used to it? The last time we met in Laita City, didn’t you kneel quite quickly?”
Seeing Yuffie stand up again and block her path, Su Ran knew that she needed to shatter all her hopes to be able to take her away.
To achieve her goal, verbal suppression also became necessary.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Indeed, as Su Ran had expected, after hearing her words, Yuffie was both angry and annoyed.
The knights behind her, who were suppressed by the witch’s aura, had a look of astonishment in their eyes.
They clearly didn’t know about the things Su Ran had mentioned, that Her Highness the Holy Maiden actually had such a dark history.
“Last time, you had a large number of hostages in your hands, which forced me to bow my head. This time, I will absolutely not let your conspiracy succeed!”
With that, Yuffie took out a gauntlet from her spatial ring.
Her physical condition was adjusted to its best state, and she erupted with all her magic essence, injecting it into the gauntlet.
A faint golden phantom gradually formed behind her.
As Yuffie injected magic essence, the phantom behind her became more solid.
The general outline of the phantom, which was originally only barely visible, and the lines within the outline, also became faintly visible.
Looking at the phantom that had appeared behind her, Yuffie’s confidence was restored.
“This gauntlet is a replica of the Divine Will Armor. After I inject magic essence, the power it can exert can reach up to Sequence Seven. I don’t believe you can block it even like this!”
Even though Yuffie was a Holy Maiden, this replica was the trump card the Church had given her for this expedition to Tukulu.
It was to be used when they encountered an enemy that Gure couldn’t deal with, and then Yuffie would drive this gauntlet.
At this moment, facing the witch Su Ran, Yuffie had reason to believe that the other was the biggest threat to her attack on Tukulu this time.
She took out this gauntlet without hesitation to deliver the strongest blow to the witch.
The five fingers of the phantom behind Yuffie closed, and using the gauntlet as a medium, it threw a punch at Su Ran.
The friction between the fist and the air produced a piercing explosion.
Blood flowed from the ears of the knights behind Yuffie.
Being in close proximity to the power erupted by the Divine Will Armor, the knights of a lower sequence level were definitely not feeling good at this moment.
Faced with the punch from behind Yuffie, Su Ran felt what was called pressure for the first time.
The ice crystal flintlock, which had not been seen for a long time, appeared in her hand.
She aimed at the oncoming punch and pulled the trigger.
An extreme frosty aura appeared, as if to freeze the entire space that had been torn open by the gauntlet.
Even the punch that was swinging towards Su Ran was affected, and it stagnated in mid-air.
“Frozen Domain. That’s the name of this magic.”
The flintlock in her hand disappeared, and Su Ran strolled to Yuffie’s front, caressing her charming face.
“It can exert the power of a Sequence Seven at most, but the one who can make the gauntlet exert the power of a Sequence Seven is not you!”
“You…”
Yuffie couldn’t speak at this moment.
Her body was covered with a thin layer of frost.
Originally, she only needed a slight movement to shake off all the frost, but she still maintained her original posture, motionless.
Because her body was completely disobedient, she was stuck in place, motionless.
Also motionless was the punch in mid-air.
The only one who could move freely in the vicinity was Su Ran.
“I’ve almost exhausted all my magic essence to use this magic. Shouldn’t I collect some interest from you first?”
Looking up and down at the immobile Yuffie, after caressing her face, which had an excellent feel, Su Ran’s beautiful eyes gradually turned to the ribbon that covered Yuffie’s eyes.
“What are you doing!”
Sensing the slightly warm fingertips sliding upwards, and realizing the other’s purpose, Yuffie became a little flustered.
Since joining the Church, the blindfold on her eyes had never been taken off by anyone.
Feeling the witch Su Ran’s fingertips gradually moving towards a forbidden place that no one had ever touched, Yuffie’s breathing became rapid, and her heart was also pounding.
“What am I doing? Isn’t it an obvious question?”
Her slender jade-like fingers lightly touched the smooth ribbon.
As Su Ran spoke, she was feeling Yuffie’s slightly trembling beautiful eyelashes through the blindfold.
At this moment, Su Ran’s curiosity about what kind of eyes were hidden under Yuffie’s blindfold had reached its peak.
“I want to see with my own eyes what the Holy Maiden of the Church looks like. After all, you’ve seen my face, so I can’t be at a disadvantage, right?”
Even Su Ran herself didn’t know that in her heart, there was a bit of joy in pulling the noble and pure Holy Maiden down to the mortal world.
Gently hooking the ribbon, now Su Ran only needed a slight pull to see the Holy Maiden’s stunningly beautiful face.
“And you can’t move at all right now. Even if I were to deal with the knights behind you one by one, you couldn’t do anything about it.”
“Don’t! I’ll go with you.”
Yuffie’s eyes felt the wind flow in.
Realizing that what the other said was true, she couldn’t help but make a concession.
Whether it was to protect the knights she had brought, or to protect the eyes she had not seen for a long time, Yuffie finally bowed her proud head and humiliatingly agreed to the witch’s proposal to leave with her.
Since Yuffie was already willing to leave with her, the purpose of Su Ran’s trip had been achieved.
She was satisfied and released the finger that was on the blindfold.
“I hope Her Highness the Holy Maiden will keep her word.”
For now, she couldn’t push Yuffie too hard.
A cornered rabbit will bite.
If the other were to fight her to the death, it really wouldn’t be worth it.
Moreover, there was a problem that Su Ran needed to solve now.
Because she had used the Frozen Domain, it had only frozen the attack of the Divine Will Gauntlet.
Her magic essence had been exhausted before the attack was completely resolved.
Therefore, Su Ran needed some time to slowly recover through the Ring of Pride.
The Divine Will Gauntlet, driven by Yuffie, had magic essence energy close to the limit of a Sequence Six.
If it weren’t for the help of the Ring of Pride, even Su Ran’s current magic essence might not be a match for it.
The ice crystal flintlock reappeared in her hand, and Su Ran fired another shot at the phantom of the Divine Will Gauntlet.
This time, the attacked armor was covered with fine cracks.
The faint golden phantom also shattered along with the attack.
