Otaku Witch

But...

Mia looked up and glanced at the HP bar above her opponent in the arena.

It had only dropped by five percent.

So that really was just a superficial scratch, huh.

How terrifying is this guy’s defensive power even supposed to be? Even us Dragon Witches’ Dragon Scales don’t have Magic Resistance this high, okay.

However, her eyes narrowed quickly as she saw Dragon Scale Shields actually appear in patches all over her opponent’s body.

And she was way too familiar with the pattern of those Dragon Scales.

Because that was straight up the exact Dragon Scale pattern of a Radiant Dragon.

No wonder the other side could tank that blow head-on just now. After all, the main damage of her ultra high-power Dragonflame Liberation Slash was the scorching Dragonflame erupting from underground, but her own flames naturally find it hard to burn her in the first place; Radiant Dragon Scales inherently have a specialized defensive effect against high-temperature Dragonflame.

.....

"It’s the Power of Original Sin of Envy. The envious resent the talented and capable, they wish they could take their place. The Original Sin of Envy can rapidly mimic a certain Strength, and in turn quickly increase one’s resistance to that Strength. Lady Wendy is using the power of Envy to simulate Senior Mia’s Dragon Scale Armor."

In the VIP box, Madeline explained like this.

As a fellow Demon Witch, she was quite familiar with the Power of Original Sin.

Alice and Audrey, upon hearing this, both became dejected. They could also tell that this Witch Wendigo was terrifyingly strong. She was way too Omnipotence, basically had almost no weak points. Every time an opponent used some new Technique, she always seemed to have a way to calmly dismantle it.

Damn it, is Senior really going to be forced to bow out here too? Now we can only pin our hopes on the Chairman for the final match.

.....

On the field, Mia had also realized how scary her opponent was.

"Fear, Lust, Envy—already one Great Hate, two Original Sins. Don’t tell me this guy has Mastery over all three Hates and seven Sins."

The Golden Princess felt a bit of a headache just thinking about that.

However, she still couldn’t give up here. Even though the Little Fairy should be resting today and didn’t come to watch on site, she really didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of her crush tomorrow.

Damn it, she’d originally wanted to grab the tournament prize and give it to the Little Fairy as a birthday present, but now it looked like that was going to be rough.

The Radiant Dragon Witch sighed inwardly.

Alright then, Plan B, start.

She gripped the massive hammer-axe in her hand and strode toward that enemy who was still unhurriedly, slowly walking her way.

Who are you trying to act for with this fake calm crap? I’m not the kind of weakling who’ll get scared by little tricks like yours.

Mia’s inner Evil Dragon nature erupted; the fake gentleness she usually put on was long gone. Right now she only wanted to fight hard until death.

Right then, she waved her hand, and hundreds of treasure chests appeared floating around her, then were one by one fed into the hammer-axe in her hand.

Screw all those safety restrictions, unlock, unlock every damn one of them for me. Even if it breaks down after the fight, who cares. This is the highest-level Duel Arena anyway, the gear isn’t afraid of getting busted.

And this time, it wasn’t just the hammer-axe that was Gold Devouring.

The Golden Princess, who was gradually releasing her Evil Dragon nature, smashed open the treasure chests with a single punch. Gold Coins immediately scattered everywhere like rainfall, and the Radiant Dragon Witch grabbed a handful of Gold Coins with one Dragon Claw, then directly stuffed them into her own mouth.

By the end, her originally neat and pretty teeth had at some unknown point mutated into sharp Dragon Teeth, and as those Dragon Teeth opened and closed, they chomped through the Gold Coins like a guillotine, biting them to pieces.

Gulp...

Mia’s slender swan neck writhed as the Gold Coins were swallowed into her belly.

Gold-Devouring Dragon mode, start.

To a Radiant Dragon, wealth is everything. In their daily lives they treat money like their life. However, if a Radiant Dragon is truly driven into a desperate corner, they will gulp down all of their own treasures in one go and then enter a burn-your-life explosive mode.

This is a true deathbed struggle, and also their final all-or-nothing burst. After that, regardless of how the battle turns out, the dragon is dead for sure. They will be corroded in reverse by that excessive Power of Wealth and ultimately turn into a pure Gold Great Dragon sculpture.

Yeah, even in death they must be with their treasure forever.

The Radiant Dragon Witch had naturally inherited this final trump card as well.

It’s just that Mia rarely used this move in the past. After all, she had always been playing the gentle Big Sister. Gold-Devouring Dragon mode might be strong, but it was way too wild and would blow up her persona.

"Good thing the Little Fairy didn’t come to watch the match today, or I really wouldn’t have dared to use this."

The Golden Princess, currently gulping down Gold, was thinking this to herself.

Then, the Magic Power around her suddenly turned violent, shooting straight into the sky. That unrestrained Magic Power lit up the entire world like flames.

At the center of that Mana Source, the Golden Battle Robe on the Radiant Dragon Witch shattered inch by inch, revealing the voluptuous body that had been hidden beneath.

Unfortunately, even though the armor broke and we got a classic clothes-burst, there was none of the fanservice the audience loves to see, because Mia’s body had already begun Dragonization.

Countless Dragon Scales surfaced on her skin, directly turning into a natural Battle Robe.

Also, wow, she’s really black.

The world all thinks the Radiant Dragon’s scales are golden and shiny, but very few people know that the Radiant Dragon’s original color is actually black; their Dragon Scales are as tough and hard as obsidian.

As for the golden, silver, or Bronze colors they usually show others, those are all just plating, like fancy nail polish.

It’s just... it’s best if you never see a Radiant Dragon in black, because when a Radiant Dragon reveals its true color, that’s when she’s at her most dangerous.

Just like Senior Mia right now.

The dignified, elegant rich-girl senior from everyday life had already turned into a dark-skinned Little Dragonfolk, with huge curled horns on her head and a long thin tail trailing behind her. Only, beneath those Dragon Scales like black jade, streaks of golden cracks were starting to appear, and they were still spreading.

This was the sign that the frenzied Power of Wealth after Gold Devouring was corroding her body. Once those golden cracks covered her whole body, she would turn into a pure Golden Sculpture.

The time left for her was running out.

On the opposite side, Miss Wendigo, who had always been calm and unhurried, finally couldn’t stay composed anymore. With her status, she could instantly tell what her opponent was doing.

Gold-Devouring Dragon, huh—has this girl gone insane?

Sure, this Arena is very High Level; if you die you can be Resurrectioned, and if your gear breaks it can be repaired, but consumables like Magic Potions are really gone once they’re used up, and the Gold Coins she’s eating are the same.

She’s seriously going to eat herself into bankruptcy; going bankrupt just for a Duel really isn’t worth it.

However, now is not the time to be thinking about whether the other side is crazy or not. Even though she’d been acting very composed in the Combat so far, always letting the opponent move first and then countering, that doesn’t mean she’s some brainless Ronin who’ll just stand there and wait while the enemy channels a big ultimate.

Once this Gold-Devouring Dragon finishes its setup, even for her things will get rough. After all, just Krypton Gold alone is already strong; add Krypton Life on top of that and...

Hard to handle...

So, in the very next instant, Miss Wendigo, who had been at least a thousand meters away from Mia, suddenly vanished. She still looked like she only took a single step, but in reality that one step spanned a thousand meters, directly flashing to the side of the Radiant Dragon Witch who was in the middle of Gold Devouring, then she raised her Long Halberd high and brought it down with charged-up force.

Only, that same strike which had previously one-shotted Madeline failed to land this time.

A pitch-black Dragon Claw directly gripped the blade of her Long Halberd.

Thud...

A powerful shockwave blasted out in all directions.

But that Dragon Claw bare-handedly catching the blade wasn’t damaged in the slightest; only the golden cracks in the palm of that Dragon Claw spread rapidly a bit more.

Wendy: "..."

With her first blow thwarted, she tried to yank the Halberd back and fight again, but...

Miss Wendigo’s arm muscles bulged, yet the Long Halberd gripped in that claw didn’t move an inch.

"High stats, huh? As long as you Krypton enough, who doesn’t have high stats?"

Senior Mia sneered like that as she kept stuffing Gold Coins into her mouth.

When it comes to comparing stats, whales never back down.

Oh, unless they run into some super King of Luck seal-clubber; those unreasonable creatures, biss.

The Radiant Dragon Witch clenched her teeth; as her sharp Dragon Teeth crunched the Gold Coins to pieces, her fist was already slamming into Wendigo’s bone mask.

Crack— the antlered bone mask shattered, revealing the stunned pretty face underneath, and then Miss Wendigo was sent flying by a single punch, straight to the end of the world.

Krypton Gold... feels good.

.....

In the VIP box, Dorothy shivered hard as she watched the wild Senior Mia below.

Now that’s more like it—this is the Mother Tyrannosaurus Teacher I know.

In that moment, she recalled the days she’d been constantly blasted into bits on the Magic Network.

And honestly, she had to admit, she even felt a tiny bit nostalgic.

Though the gentle Big Sister Mia from everyday life is great and all, this wild Mother Tyrannosaurus has a different kind of charm.

...Senior is in the middle of Gold Devouring.....
