Chapter 2178 - 1097: This Is Inheritance (2)
Hmm, although in the Witch World there’s no saying like "once a teacher, always a parent," this senior did indeed serve as her teacher.
But now, this competition has made the hierarchy a bit complicated.
On the field, she is opponents with this mentor Alannis, and their once-classmate Euphilia has already become a judge on the panel, even her grand-apprentice Dorothy has now become a judge.....
Indeed, the hierarchy among witches is just for fun.
On the other side, the Elf Witch Alannis’ feelings are even more complicated.
Once upon a time, she was also the leading genius among her peers. Even now, she’s actually doing quite well among her age group, but comparisons can be discouraging.
Noelle Rose only just recognized her, but she had already recognized this former junior long ago.
Of course, she naturally recognized Euphilia from the panel as well.
Hehe, one was the brightest Research Witch star before the Witch of the Forest appeared, and the other is the newly risen Prince of the Dragon Kingdom, these two juniors are simply too dazzling, hard not to know them.
It’s just, over a hundred years ago, while she was eloquently speaking from the podium, these two juniors were merely inconspicuous among the many students below.
And now...
Sigh...
Clearly, not everyone can easily accept such a sense of disparity.
Especially since Alannis grew up as a smooth sailing genius; geniuses have their pride and can’t easily accept being surpassed by others.
Besides, they hadn’t met before now, only reading about each other in "Witch Daily," and technically speaking, they’re in different fields, she’s a professional Duel Witch, and those two juniors are a Research Witch and an Armed Witch on the battlefield, there’s nothing to compare.
But now, fate has its way, and she happens to reunite with these two juniors in her supposed arena.
Hehe, one has become her opponent, while the other has directly become her judge.
At this moment, the Elf Witch’s emotions are truly complicated.
Fortunately, years of competition experience quickly helped her stabilize her state and calm her emotions.
"Hmm, indeed it has been a long time, Junior Noelle Rose."
She replied politely facing the opposite side.
Of course, it was just surface politeness.
In reality, she had already decided in her heart that she must not lose this match no matter what.
Euphilia, the Dragon Witch, was formidable, her countless terrifying achievements commanded respect, but Junior Noelle Rose was a Research Witch, and as a professional Duel Witch, losing to a Research Witch who came to play was unacceptable.
Hmm, she must prove herself with perseverance.
Especially since this duel tournament is truly being watched by the Dragon King, she must achieve good results to gain the attention of the great Your Excellency.
The Elf Witch’s hands, hidden under her Battle Robe, were clenched tightly.
In response, Noelle Rose’s smile gradually faded, and she sighed.
Sigh, that familiar stench of jealousy.
Born into the Envy Family, she shook her head helplessly.
Subsequently, the surroundings of the two began to transform drastically, as the ordinary arena was altered, reshaping the world under the influence of the Array.
Above their heads, names and life bars occupying half the space each appeared.
The countdown ended, and the match began.
At the very moment the countdown hit zero, Alannis immediately readied herself to seize the initiative, swiftly raising her Magic Wand.
Her Magic Wand was a short bow.
This is a Wand style favored by Elf Witches, suitable for rapid firing, capable of both long-range and close combat.
No Incantations needed, the duel of the Duel Witches values speed.
Whoever makes the first move generally gains an advantage.
And Alannis was always confident in her Speed, she is a classic fast-paced attacker, her common tactic is to overwhelm opponents with a torrential arrow storm.
But this time, the Elf Witch raised her hand, instinctively attempting to draw her bow.
However, while her brain issued the command, her hands did not feel the familiar touch of the bowstring.
"What’s going on?"
Alannis wondered slightly, having long been accustomed to not needing to look at her hands, she glanced down at them.
But she only saw two bare arms, and below those arms... two hands.
Thud....
The sound of something hitting the ground was heard.
It was the Elf Witch’s left hand holding the bow and the right hand making a bowstring pulling gesture.
Alannis widened her eyes in horror.
But before her eyes could open fully, she noticed her perspective becoming strange, as if it were dropping, and then everything spun around.
Thump.....
Something else hit the ground again.
It was the head of an Elf beauty, eyes wide open.
Even though she had been beheaded, the Elf Witch didn’t immediately die, after all, everything happened so suddenly that her body hadn’t realized it was wounded, and blood hadn’t even flowed from the bowl-sized wound on the once graceful swan neck, the cut smooth as a mirror, exposing the still-functioning blood vessels within.
However, Alannis’ consciousness had already understood everything.
