She finally understood the meaning of Ye Yu. The birth of the first Great Witch did not only represent a new starting point for power, but also proved it to all witches without question.
These crazy people have the potential to change everything.
From this day forward, this era will be known as the era of witches.
Chapter 300 So, Goodnight
Hunger, like a greedy ghoul, gripped Jiang Kehan's throat. Her eyes began to heat up, and she couldn't help but walk towards the food.
Fortunately, thanks to Ye Yu's reminder, she wasn't far from the food, so she didn't appear too disheveled.
After witnessing the birth of the Great Witch, all witches' bloodlines began to move closer to this correct path, or even correct it.
Jiang Kehan could feel her body "burning" violently. Her flesh and blood, and even her genes, which were originally unsuitable for this path, were replaced and burned until she underwent evolution.
This is a good thing, but it also means that even the Middle Witch must consume enough energy to support this evolution.
This night is destined not to be peaceful.
After Jiang Kehan put down the alchemy cauldron, feeling a little dizzy, she heard a symphony of roars in her ears, some from witches, some from beasts, and some from dragons.
"You are ultimately a person of the future, so you don't need much energy."
"But a witch who truly lives in this era wouldn't be so quiet. You probably won't get a good night's sleep these next couple of days."
Ye Yu licked his paws and spoke indifferently.
"However, only 3% of the creatures that died on this hunting night were level 7 or lower, so it didn't have much of an impact on nature."
"The species in this era are too abundant, and the number of witches is not large. Moreover, the witches have only just gained the opportunity to challenge the world's ruler, so they cannot carry out a massacre."
"Is it because of the protection of level 8 or even level 9 creatures?" Jiang Kehan, who had gradually regained her senses, lay sprawled on the grass, looking at the starry sky with only one star and asked.
"Yes, the energy of the Stars' Favor is too powerful, and it is destined that nature needs enough low-level creatures. Only when low-level creatures fight and evolve can the creatures at the top have the opportunity to eat."
"So, just like the Shadow Dragon you hunt, these level 8 or even level 9 creatures are also carefully tending to their forests, just in order to have a good meal."
"Besides, the area currently occupied by the witch is actually less than half of the entire world, so it can't be said to have a devastating impact."
Ye Yu shook the already clean bowl; she actually ate quite quickly.
"I see." Jiang Kehan casually plucked a blade of grass, disinfected it with magic, put it in her mouth, and asked.
"Was that witch who held aloft white flames the first great witch in history?"
"Yes, her name was Emma Neva. She died in the middle of World War II and was a milestone figure in the field of alchemy."
"The Miracle Alchemy you are learning now was gradually developed by her and a group of great witches." Ye Yu also imitated Jiang Kehan, taking a small bite of the surrounding grass, but she ate it directly, and it tasted somewhat bitter.
Miracle Alchemy breaks through the concept that alchemy can only transform existing substances into one another, and begins to evolve the essence of alchemy from "transformation" to "creation"—creating something from nothing.
It laid the foundation for modern alchemy and elevated alchemy to the highest position among all disciplines.
Before the advent of miracle alchemy, runic writing was the mainstream of witch disciplines.
"Oh my god." Jiang Kehan was somewhat incredulous. "Such a great figure could die in this war?"
Undoubtedly, when Jiang Kehan met Emma Neva, who was holding the torch, through the connection of blood and magic, this great witch who was destined to leave her mark on history had already left a deep impression on her.
Jiang Kehan even felt that the other person was worthy of being called her idol.
"Kehan, there is no right or wrong in this war, which also means that once you step onto the battlefield, all your past honors are false, and there is only the result of living or dying."
Ye Yu's tone remained unchanged, as if he had long been accustomed to this cruel attitude.
"However, you don't need to participate in this war. We are the guardians, and also the destined bystanders."
"Heh..." Ye Yu said, then shook his head with a smile, looking thoughtfully at Jiang Kehan's profile.
In her eyes, this exquisitely beautiful witch was even more outstanding than she had imagined, yet she remained innocent and romantic.
Ye Yu couldn't help but think: But each of my followers has left their own mark to some extent. What will you leave here, and what will you interfere with?
"Can I see Emma Neva?" Jiang Kehan suddenly turned around and asked Ye Yu seriously.
Ye Yu couldn't help but chuckle. She gently rubbed Jiang Kehan's face with her soft, pink paw pads and spoke in a deliberately deep voice.
"Of course, if you want."
"And you'll see more than just Emma Neva; there are many heroes of this era who have changed the course of history."
"Not everyone is qualified to live into the future, Kehan."
"But here, we can still carefully appreciate their greatness and thus choose our own path."
Jiang Kehan smiled easily, exhaled the fatigue that had accumulated inside her, and closed her eyes.
"Then could you please keep watch for me tonight, Sister Yeyu? I've gained a lot from this great witch evolution and need a short period of sleep to digest it."
Jiang Kehan felt that she was really lucky. She had just become a witch and happened to encounter this event. In this forging process that originated from instinct, some of her previously buried talents were gradually discovered.
She had a premonition that once she fully adapted to the changes brought about by this evolution, her strength would probably be considered among the top in terms of magical power.
This made Jiang Kehan extremely excited, and she ignored the various roars in the wild and slept very peacefully.
"Well, in principle it's not allowed, but who can blame me for being so cute?" Ye Yu picked up Jiang Kehan's witch's hat, put it on her face, and said with a smile.
So, goodnight.
After confirming that Jiang Kehan was asleep, the black cat stretched and transformed into human form.
Ye Yu propped her face up and looked south in the direction Jiang Kehan was leading, a mysterious smile on her face.
"Sometimes, I almost forget that I was also born in this era."
"However, who could have imagined that this small village on the French border would be the beginning of the war?"
She closed her eyes comfortably and hummed a lullaby for Jiang Kehan, but there was no peace in that smile.
Known as the witch of "pleasure," she has never ceased to suffer inner torment.
She needs more pleasure and more stimulation to numb her long-dead heart.
However, unlike those hedonistic witches, Ye Yu prefers to watch a certain kind of happiness gradually overflow—until it finally becomes thorns, locking her own throat.
Ye Yu clasped his hands together, feeling the coldness on his skin compared to the surroundings, his eyes shimmering like intoxicating wine.
Just like her captivating story.
Chapter 301 Village System
Jiang Kehan didn't sleep for long. At dawn the next day, when the sun was still slowly peeking over the horizon, she was already up.
She looked at the black cat curled up beside her, carefully adjusting her position so as not to disturb Ye Yu.
The wilderness was unusually quiet in the early morning, perhaps due to the witch hunt the night before, but for Jiang Kehan it was a good thing.
She planned to test her current strength, which would cause a great commotion. The fewer creatures around, the less likely she would be seen as prey, thus avoiding provoking enemies she couldn't deal with at the moment.
Jiang Kehan chose a patch of grass not far from Ye Yu and set up several soundproof barriers to ensure that everything was foolproof.
However, creatures in this era rarely rely on their five senses to perceive prey; instead, they rely more on capturing energy fluctuations such as magic. The main reason she set up these barriers was to avoid disturbing Ye Yu's rest.
After preparing, Jiang Kehan first controlled the flow of magic within her body to collect the most basic data.
"Your physical strength is now perfectly matched with your current magic power, and the quality of your magic power circulation has also greatly improved. Let me see."
Jiang Kehan took out her terminal. Although there was no internet access in this era, the basic function of measuring the amount of magic power was still useful.
As she inputted magic power, the numbers on the terminal fluctuated, generally around 6500 points.
"My magic power has also increased significantly. It seems like I've really made a killing this time."
Jiang Kehan stood with her hands on her hips, feeling the power surging within her, and her smile became very healthy.
She felt that her life level was around the middle of level 4, which meant that she could fight close-quarters with a level 4 ancient dragon that was hundreds of meters long, and even hold her own.
However, what Jiang Kehan was most concerned about was her control over magic. Witches who fought hand-to-hand were few and far between; only those who relied on magic could be considered elegant.
A tiny flame gathered at her fingertips, and magic gradually compressed into it. All she had to do was keep the flame at that size until it got out of control.
This is the simplest, yet very accurate, measurement method.
100 points, 200 points, until Jiang Kehan invested about 3000 points of magic power, before the flame showed signs of getting out of control.
Jiang Kehan felt the violence and oppression emanating from the flames at her fingertips, and solemnly blasted it into the sky.
"boom!"
This tiny flame gradually expanded, eventually transforming into a sea of fire that covered the sky for several kilometers, never ceasing.
Jiang Kehan looked up at the apocalyptic scene, her brows furrowing slightly.
It's normal for a spell that simply accumulates and releases magic power to be a little weak, but the larger the sea of fire, the more it shows that she has poor control over magic power.
The ability to control magic can be broadly divided into two aspects.
The test of continuously adding magic power, maintaining the flame, was Jiang Kehan's control over the magic power in her body. The main impact was on the casting speed. The amount of magic power invested was about half of the total magic power, which was barely considered acceptable.
However, releasing flames outside the body tests the precision of the magic's refinement; the higher the precision, the greater the spell's power.
On this point, Jiang Kehan must admit that she is below average.
"It is more than twice as strong as before. Now, when encountering a level 6 dragon, it may not need to turn and run away. It can survive for a few seconds."
Jiang Kehan muttered to herself, having a general idea of her own abilities.
Immortality is a crucial metric for witches in battle. As long as they are not instantly killed by their opponents, it means they have a short window of opportunity to deal damage. Coupled with their terrifying regeneration abilities, they are more than capable of teaching their opponents a lesson.
Of course, battles between witches are an exception.
Jiang Kehan is now confident that if she were to send a level 6 ancient dragon to fight her to the death, she could easily defeat it in just over a month.
Although it took a while, we will win in the end.
"You're full of energy so early in the morning? It's something that older folks envy."
Once awake, Ye Yu rubbed her eyes with her cat paws, ignoring the isolation barrier set up by Jiang Kehan. She walked casually to Jiang Kehan's side and looked up to tease her.
Jiang Kehan squatted down helplessly, allowing Ye Yu to easily jump onto her shoulder, and then asked.
"Now that Sister Yeyu is awake, let's set off."
"However, should we rest for another day? The witch's hunting night is probably not over yet, is it?"
Jiang Kehan shuddered slightly as she recalled the wails of various creatures she had heard yesterday, and the roar of countless spells that followed the witch's silence.
A mad witch is still too terrifying.
