NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 370: Come to My Room
Time began to congeal again, a faint blue hue painted across the world.
A indescribable sensation of physical stiffness emerged once more in Chen Qi's body; without brute force to break through, even Chen Qi himself couldn't move within this frozen domain.
The same move, to think it could happen a third time!
Chen Qi stared at the Ice Witch's haughty backside, at a loss for words to describe his feelings at this moment.
"..."
The Ice Witch's face hit the ground, with a bit of blood trickling from her nose, and her prideful red eyes filled with despair.
Following that, for some reason, the Ice Witch suddenly turned her head and looked at Chen Qi with a resentful gaze!
It was as if her eyes were accusing him, blaming him for her fall!
"..."
Chen Qi was dumbfounded.
He had only kindly reminded the Ice Witch to be careful not to trip!
But the Ice Witch gave him that kind of look.
This was largely due to the Ice Witch's own negligence.
The ground was clearly slippery, yet she refused to lower her head to check her path while walking.
Of course, there was another crucial reason.
The Ice Witch was too hungry. Having been dormant in the Witch's Coffin for over a decade, her body was visibly frail and weak.
As the Ice Witch struggled to get up, she spoke weakly:
"Cough cough cough..."
"Damn Fen, not even bringing me something to eat, even though fate dictates you would bring me a feast."
As she spoke, a tear rolled down from the corner of the Ice Witch's eye, her lips involuntarily tightening.
The Ice Witch looked towards Fen, frozen by the spell, whose gaze was at that moment fixed on Chen Qi.
Her beloved mentor had just stumbled, and this damned Fen was still looking at someone else!
"Damned Fen."
The Ice Witch cursed again, then carefully wiped away the blood from her nose.
She propped up her weak body, stood again, and resumed her previous posture.
Are you that hungry? Chen Qi was taken aback.
It wasn't Fen's fault that the Ice Witch awoke without food, because he was actually the one responsible for providing it.
After re-assuming her posture, the Ice Witch's expression of grievance quickly transformed into her usual composed and cold demeanor.
Five seconds later, time began to flow once more!
The Ice Witch slightly raised her head and passed nonchalantly by Chen Qi:
"Thanks for the warning, but such a reminder is utterly meaningless."
A slight smile played at the corner of the Ice Witch's lips.
Had he not witnessed it himself, Chen Qi would have believed that she had never fallen.
"..."
There were so many absurd points, Chen Qi was already too drained to retort.
Then, the Witch halted in her steps, looked toward the pirates of the Ghost Ship, and began to conjure a magic technique.
At this moment, the pirates of the Black Whale Group aboard the Ghost Ship, out of fear, bellowed:
"Witch, please, spare me. I'm willing to repent! I'm guilty!
I shouldn't have – shouldn't have killed my beloved brother and his daughter out of selfish desires for her beauty..."
This pirate did not choose to flee, instead kneeling down with tears covering his face!
"I should not have kidnapped the little girl from the industrial district, selling them to merchants for money..."
In the legends, sincere repentance could earn the Ice Witch's forgiveness!
The Ice Witch's red eyes fell upon that pirate.
A chill of spiritual power slowly emerged upon the pirate's body.
The Ice Witch spoke indifferently:
"I have felt your repentance..."
Joy filled the pirate's eyes:
"Thank you, Witch—I will spend my life repenting..."
Following that, the Ice Witch continued:
"The Grim Reaper shall guide you to meet the Goddess, and the Sea Goddess will forgive your sins."
The Grim Reaper? The Goddess? The kneeling pirate froze for a moment, then more and more frost began to form on his face.
No!
The pleading pirate on the Ghost Ship had instantly turned into an ice sculpture, his eyes of despair now the last portrayal of him before death.
Then, with a gentle flick from the Ice Witch's hand.
The ice sculpture shattered instantaneously!
A Third Rank Pirate who once had the potential to become a supernova thus perished!
"Utterly foolish..."
The Black Death Doctor took a deep breath, looking towards the raven.
The people of this era have forgotten the horror of the Ice Witch.
In legends, the Flower Witch turned an entire army corrupt, directly turning them into fertilizer.
And the Ice Witch, in legends, exterminated countless pirates!
Indeed, the Ice Witch would forgive them, but only those poor enslaved— not these ruling pirates.
In the face of these pirates, her "forgiveness" only delivered them to heaven to meet the Goddess!
The terror of a Fifth Rank Expert's overwhelming pressure! Such powerful beings, even with the full might of the Black Whale Group, they couldn't hope to defeat!
"Run! Run for it!"
"Spare me, Witch, I'm willing to lick your feet, to be your chair!"
"Spare me, great Witch, I will be your dog for life!"
"I'm willing to be the Black Hunter's dog for life! Woof woof woof!"
Several pathetic pirates lost their fighting spirit, one after another kneeling and begging for mercy.
The colossal gap in strength spread boundless fear among the group of pirates.
The pirates scattered like panicked wild animals.
We must take out our last trump card! The Black Death Doctor anxiously pulled out a card from his backpack card.
On the card was a typical tarot-style illustration, depicting a petite blonde female.
She held a lantern in her hand, and beside her was a dove larger than a man.
Somewhat akin to the Lantern Apostle of Witch Sea, the card depicted a minor deity of White Tower Sea, the White Dove Messenger.
Legend has it that this petite character governed all letters of the sea, and praying to her could exchange prayers for the power to survive and the delivery of messages.
