Chapter 1048: You’re Awake, You’re Already a Witch
Verdant Forest.
Before Lo Nafu, the summoning ritual she had completed was fully activated!
A dazzling flash instantly lit up the entire room, which had already been completely shielded beforehand.
Lo Nafu instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes from the blinding light; she did not know what it was.
All she felt was a force like shattered porcelain rushing towards her!
Before long, the erupting power began to show signs of subsiding, but with it, a figure descended!
Lo Nafu was still somewhat shaken. After reacting at first, she realized that the brightness didn’t seem to have much power.
As she lowered her hand slightly from her eyes, a figure appeared right in front of her!
At this moment, the startled Lo Nafu, sitting on the ground, stared blankly at my figure, feeling truly at a loss.
“Thank you for bringing me here,” I spoke.
I used the language of the Verdant Forest world. When players invade a world, the first thing they do is collect basic information about the world, which includes the language—a fundamental task for pioneers.
I stepped forward and helped Lo Nafu up. At that moment, the player character also walked over.
“You can understand it as this is my true form; I am merely an consciousness controlling this body.” After the player I controlled finished speaking, the character was logged out by me.
My life clone embraced the elf who had lost player control and fallen down.
“If you don’t understand, you can think of it as both are me; this is just my clone, and the one in front of you is the real me.” I crouched down to look at Lo Nafu and said, “Do you understand? The one I taught you is the summoning runes; it’s the means of summoning my true form.”
“…I…understand now!”
Lo Nafu trembled as she quickly nodded, finding everything happening before her somewhat beyond her comprehension!
But I didn’t care about that; I thought of something and then took out a business card from the storage card I carried.
“Take this; you can directly summon me by activating it with your mental power without needing to exhaust yourself with drawing runes.”
Lo Nafu took the card. While she couldn’t understand the text on it, she could recognize part of the runes on the summoning ritual; the summoning runes personally crafted by me on this card were naturally far more impressive than such a crude method.
“Let me formally introduce myself; I am not a player; I am not one of those players. I am a Little Witch, my full name is Yang Yuelan, but you can call me Xiao Han, or… refer to me as the Catastrophe Witch.”
I went ahead with my self-introduction, regardless of whether Lo Nafu understood or not.
Lo Nafu, though I had bought her recently, had a similar role to the Qiu Ruxin of the past.
The difference was that Qiu Ruxin had actively sought me out by coincidence, solving the mystery of the Reverse Summoning Spell for me, while Lo Nafu was merely a tool I had temporarily purchased.
If possible, as we leap from the Verdant Forest world into the Main World, becoming part of the Main World, I wouldn’t mind guiding her into the Witch Academy, provided she had the awareness for it.
The Witch Academy didn’t need an individual who perceives herself as a slave.
My mercy had not yet reached such a level of overflow.
“Stand still.”
Looking at Lo Nafu before me, I couldn’t help myself. When I was still a player, I was powerless, but now that my life clone could arrive here even more freely than an avatar, I had to finish what I hadn’t done.
As my hand reached out before Lo Nafu…
A Cleaning Spell thoroughly eliminated the nearly indelible dirt on Lo Nafu and sorted her unkempt hair.
Her previously tangled hair now became dry and neat, though some strands were still dry and split, which the cleaning spell couldn’t resolve.
And this was not the end.
Then with a Healing Spell, the scars from the Flesh Healing spell faded; the long-accumulated ailments and the hoarseness in her throat…
At that moment, Lo Nafu finally became a complete and healthy Little Elf.
This series of changes, though accompanied by pain, itching, and discomfort, resulted in a wonderful feeling of a healthy body once she got through it!
Lo Nafu vowed that she had never felt such ease in her life!
She never knew she could live so comfortably.
Yes!
Comfortable!
Just being alive was an unparalleled enjoyment!
It turned out the world could be this beautiful…
It could only be said that Lo Nafu’s previous days were not a life worth living; even a long-lived elf couldn’t bear such torture.
“You helped me, so I grant you a new life; this is the reward you deserve.” Feeling the unparalleled excitement within Lo Nafu, I didn’t waste words and spoke directly.
“Reward? You… you mean… my voice?!”
Lo Nafu instinctively became anxious upon hearing my words. If this was a reward for helping me, though she had never accepted a reward before, it meant ‘no strings attached.’
Just like how she was bought a few days ago.
She subconsciously didn’t want to leave me, but as she spoke, she realized her voice changed! She had never felt her voice could be so melodious and clear!
Is this also… a reward?
“This is your original voice.”
“Uh… ah… I… I beg you, great Catastrophe Witch, please don’t abandon me. I wish to follow you forever.”
Lo Nafu, following her heart, expressed her truest desires.
If the past days had been the happiest in her life as an elf, enjoying delicious foods, she felt grateful to have found a good “master,” not taken back by a pervert to become a toy, only to be abandoned and die homeless.
Then this rebirth made her truly understand and crave to follow this great existence.
Gratitude, loyalty, admiration for strength, and submission…
Countless emotions intertwined to create her boldest act at this moment.
That is to plead with this so-called “Catastrophe Witch” to continue sheltering her, even if she might not be able to help in the future; she had to muster the courage to speak.
She knelt down in the most humble posture, her entire being, including her fingertips, rendered insignificant; now, she only knew this unique opportunity before her must be seized.
Even with her shallow understanding, her instincts led her to make the “correct” choice!
“Get up; if you wish to stay by my side, then hide your submissiveness and… stand up, and request me as an elf.” I looked at the stunned Lo Nafu, unknowingly comparing her to Millien and Dawn from the Real Protection Association.
– Indeed, she knew nothing but could learn anything; it all depended on whether she understood what was appropriate.
As I finished speaking, Lo Nafu shockedly raised her head. She may not have fully understood what I said—what submissiveness, what elf identity—but she comprehended the words “Get up, stand up,” so she complied.
After all… she was very obedient.
“Great Catastrophe Witch…” Lo Nafu stood up, her voice no longer that impulsive tone from before, but this was a reasonable reaction.
“Very good,” I nodded, then sat down, looking at the body before me.
Forest Elf, Aier.
This was the name of the elf I occupied.
This character had no significance to me now, as the Verdant Forest game had met its greatest disaster in its history.
That being… me!
Thus, there was no need for the player to remain.
She had completed her mission.
“She was originally an elf, and after my consciousness occupied her body, she perished completely. However, her death was not without meaning. Now that my true form has arrived, her mission is also concluded.”
I stretched out my hand, and an extremely intense flame burned the “corpse” in an instant within a small area.
In fact, there were not even ashes left after the burning, just residual heat waves.
This is my precise control over magic.
Not even the floor was scorched.
Lo Nafu had no objections to my actions, or perhaps she didn’t fully understand them.
After slowly recounting and contemplating my words, she roughly understood the meaning.
The elf before her had borne the arrival of this Catastrophe Witch with her life; that was the gist?
As for Lo Nafu’s confusion, I didn’t continue to respond but instead looked at her and asked another question: “Lo Nafu, let me ask you a question: Do you hate this world? Do you hate the players who capture and torture you? Do you hate that you have no strength?”
“I… I hate!”
Lo Nafu paused for a moment, seemingly recalling her painful life. Under my question’s guidance, her feelings extended from the players to this world, ultimately reflecting back on her lack of strength…
Her hatred was pure, requiring no extra reasons to express her emotional outbursts, nor did any other thoughts make her let go of this hatred.
“Then I will bring disaster upon this world, annihilating the sources of suffering and letting death judge every evil person equally; how about that?” I continued.
…Lo Nafu stared at me in shock. At that moment, it seemed she understood what the title “Catastrophe Witch” truly meant.
A witch that brings disasters to this muddled world!
Although her heart seemed to tell her that bringing disaster to this world was wrong and that she shouldn’t do so, soon these thoughts were completely drowned by the hatred and unwillingness deep within her.
Why didn’t those feelings of resentment, pity, and conscience appear when she suffered?
Now, in the heart of the oppressor?
So she was not wrong!
She simply wanted to return to her old self; it was that simple.
“I fully agree with your approach, Lady Catastrophe Witch!”
“Heh~ Good mentality.” I chuckled softly, “Are you interested in giving up your identity and becoming a witch like me?”
“I am willing! I am willing!” Lo Nafu nodded vigorously. She had never felt a sense of belonging; she didn’t even know what becoming a witch meant, yet she wholeheartedly agreed.
In fact, at that moment, I already had a slight intention of cultivating her.
Perhaps… letting her personally destroy this place would also be a good choice?
After all, I had already arrived with my life clone, and I wasn’t in a hurry; what I lacked most now was the Magic Source.
You should know that my life clone had completed the construction of Infinite Magic Power!
How much Magic Source? As much as needed! If not for not wanting to take in too many wastes for the Witch Academy, I could even stuff every living being in this Verdant Forest world with a Magic Source.
“Since you agree, then I will grant you a Magic Source. You must understand, once you accept this Magic Source, you are no longer an ordinary elf but a preparatory witch with the blood of elves. The concept of elf now merely represents a gift of strength and blood; you must remember, from now on, you are one of the witches, and making promotion to an Extraordinary Witch is the most important goal in your life…”
As I reflected, I conjured a Magic Source on the spot for Lo Nafu, emanating magic intertwined with the wisdom of the Witch Race.
Witch transformation would equally allow every life to transform, granting them an equal opportunity to become an Extraordinary Witch.
As the Magic Source was inserted into Lo Nafu’s body, the sunlight of the woven magic transformation enveloped her entirely.
And they waited for what felt like quite a while.
Lo Nafu slowly awoke on the bed.
“You’re awake. Congratulations, you are already a preparatory witch, so now we can refer to each other as sisters. You can call me Xiao Juan, as everyone in the Witch Academy does.” I spoke.
Regardless of whether they were juniors or seniors, they all called me Xiao Juan or Xiao Juan-jiao—that had become a consensus.
“Xiao… Xiao Juan-jie?”
Lo Nafu opened her eyes in confusion and tried to call my name.
From this moment on, Lo Nafu’s identity had completely changed.
And all of this happened in just four or five days since we met.
“Hey~ from now on, that’s what you’ll call me. You must remember, from the moment you called me Xiao Juan, your identity has completely transformed.” Agreeing with her, I changed my tone, imparting a strong educational tone: “You are no longer that obedient slave! When facing orders from others, you must not obey unconditionally. When under threat, you must retaliate with the fiercest measures, making the enemy fear you and not dare to offend you, understand?”
“I… I understand!” Lo Nafu tried to sound tough, even if it was just imitating; at least her attitude was correct.
She was truly obedient, very obedient to me.
