Otaku Witch

The Succubus Witch estimated that if we were to consider full strength, Senior Mia should be stronger than her, with their strength split at six to four.

However, since Senior Mia left the Golden Country, she lost her personal armory, and her strength has suffered significantly. Even though she summoned a warship for protection earlier, it’s clear she hasn’t yet mastered it; her agility is not as good as when she was adept at using her many treasures.

So, Senior Mia’s strength might still be a bit weaker compared to hers now. Facing that little Wendy ancestor would indeed be quite challenging.

Nonetheless, the firepower of the Golden Princess Ship is still formidable. If Senior Mia can seize the opportunity to land a direct hit, then even the little ancestor would definitely not withstand it, surely resulting in an instant defeat.

Unfortunately, if Senior Mia had kept the warship as a trump card and used it during the duel with Lady Wendy, there would have been a greater chance of winning through surprise.

But now that the trump card has been exposed prematurely, it’s not as effective. Lady Wendy will definitely be prepared for it, making it much harder for Senior Mia to land a successful hit.

Unless she can once again tap into explosive breeding to manifest the radar targeting module of the Golden Princess Ship, she’d need a locking shot or something. However, it’s obvious that this is a bit beyond her current capabilities.

Therefore, Madeline truly feels the lady’s judgment is quite reasonable; indeed, the little ancestor has a slightly better chance of winning.

"Humph, I’m not talking to you anymore; you, like my sister, don’t understand people’s hearts."

Upon hearing the Succubus Witch say that, Alice immediately withdrew her head in a huff, her little face puffing up like a bun.

Audrey, feeling a bit uncomfortable with this, moved closer to hold the little witch’s hand, indicating her support.

To this, Dorothy and Madeline exchanged a smile, each shaking their head.

They didn’t say for sure that Senior Mia would lose, just that Wendy has a greater chance of winning. As for the final outcome, they wouldn’t know it since both of them were not quite skilled in the prophecy department. In fact, it would be better to ask Sophia because the Pure White Witch’s predictions on wins and losses are more accurate.

"Oh, right. Aren’t you continuing with the resurrection ranking matches?"

The homebody witch recalled this and turned to ask Madeline.

Although the Succubus Witch lost, she would still need to compete with Melantha, who also lost, to determine who is fourth and who is fifth.

"The ranking matches have to wait until tomorrow; today is only for the finals, since these losers’ bracket matches don’t garner much viewership."

Madeline shrugged as she spoke.

In such large-scale events, people generally only care about the top three: the champion, runner-up, and third place. Rarely do they pay attention to the fourth and fifth places.

Sometimes, people only care about who the champion is, disregarding the runners-up.

Otherwise, they say there can be no first in literature, nor second in martial arts; most of the glory belongs to the ultimate victor.

"I see, but still, do your best; I believe in you."

Dorothy nodded, offering her blessings, before turning to look at the arena in front of her.

Just then, the countdown for the start of the match had ended, health bars revealed, and the duel began.

Senior Mia was still in her Golden Gundam form, clad in heavy armor, and holding a shield and spear.

Opposite her, Miss Wendigo remained equally imposing, with the oppressive aura of her shield halberd fully present.

This was a duel between heavy-armored witches.

"Descend, Golden Country."

With the sound of dragons roaring once again, Senior Mia remained as before, summoning the Golden Country to seize ley line energy.

This time, she wasn’t fighting internally, so it seemed that nobody would compete with her for the ley lines, allowing her to summon the Golden Country freely.

However.....

"Plunder, Greedy Worm."

On the opposite side, Miss Wendigo stomped her foot, and the profanity of demons immediately rang out.

At that moment, Senior Mia’s expression changed; she could sense a few worms suddenly appearing within the ley lines.

Initially, these worms were small and insignificant, but as they began to devour ley line energy, they quickly grew, their size increasing at an almost visible rate.

"Damn it, it’s Mammon’s minions."

The Golden Princess cursed inwardly.

The Golden Country has always been at odds with the Greedy Demon God Mammon, as they are direct competitors, each wishing for the other’s demise to impede their own wealth accumulation.

Due to the prolonged open and covert struggles between both sides, Mammon naturally developed techniques targeting the Golden Country, with these Greedy Worms being one such method. These worms can devour ley line energy and easily munch through and digest spiritual metals, making them the bane of the Golden Country.

Additionally, the true Radiant Dragons of the Dragon Realm also suffer indirectly; while the Radiant Dragon Witches may have their own magical traits without leyline support, the true Radiant Dragons who call ley lines their home would be greatly distressed, similar to humans finding termites in their wooden houses.

In short, the Golden Country cannot unfold smoothly this time, nor can it gain the ley line power boost to dominate the home ground and crush the opponent.

Mia had hoped that if she could successfully deploy the Golden Country, she’d be able to manifest the radar targeting module of the Golden Princess Ship too, and at that point, regardless of how many tricks Miss Wendigo had up her sleeve, she could take her down with a single shot.
