Such a fiery soul, such a roaring heart, isn't it born for battle?
The meaning of battle is never about killing someone or being killed by someone, but about resolutely clearing away the obstacles in your path that is sprinkled with fantasy and starlight!
Jiang Kehan exhaled the turbid air carrying the turmoil in her heart, and took the initiative to kill the giant with her sword!
She felt she had grasped something and needed a suitable whetstone to prove it.
The giant emerged from dozens of scorching flames that were merely illusions, maintaining his solemn and silent demeanor, but Jiang Kehan revealed a smile.
She had already seen it; thick, brown blood was dripping from the giant's hind ankle, something that had been deliberately concealed by the giant's charge.
Jiang Kehan's output is effective, although it is very weak, but it is completely different from not being able to break through defenses.
Since that's the case, let's do it again!
Jiang Kehan chose to attack first this time. She raised the scorching Ningxiao, which was wrapped with a black phoenix, and cried out, emitting the Nine Netherworld Song that disturbed the mind.
Since assisting Tanya in correcting "death," Jiang Kehan has not only greatly increased her control over magic, but has also gained a deeper understanding of death.
This made Jiang Kehan's witch magic, which she was not originally good at, quite threatening. Although it lacked some lethality, it was more than agile.
Especially when bullying giants, creatures that are completely defenseless against magic!
Jiang Kehan disappeared from the giant's sight, risking being bombed by the war zone, and teleported to the giant's hind ankle, where she unleashed a powerful, dark slash!
The changes from Lingye, and the sighs of death, caused even greater damage to the already cracked wounds.
Like a maggot clinging to a bone, though tiny, it will continuously inflict pain on the giant and worsen his injuries.
The giant visibly trembled, but coldly ignored the endless irritation in his brain and the excruciating pain from his wounds, and kicked Jiang Kehan backwards.
Unlike the Hollows, it cannot shield its senses. Rather, the Titans know that when facing another Titan, any opening can be fatal.
Yes, in its eyes, the tiny witch before it possessed a magnificent, boiling aura that rivaled its own.
Even though the witch was far weaker than it, the giant had no doubt that she could kill it.
Jiang Kehan didn't have time to unleash her intangibility this time and took the giant's attack head-on. Fortunately, the attack was too rushed and didn't kill her directly.
But the situation isn't exactly good.
Jiang Kehan's lips twitched, and she almost collapsed to the ground.
Putting aside the physical injuries, the pain caused by the giant's overwhelming strength alone far exceeded her imagination.
It hurt so much that her whole body suddenly felt weak, and Jiang Kehan couldn't help but shed a few tears. Her tongue tasted bitter.
The overwhelming force instantly pierced through Jiang Kehan's entire body. At this moment, all her sensory organs, including her magic, simultaneously felt pain, and they were all crowded together.
"Pfft." Jiang Kehan barely managed to stand up, clutching her chest. Her eyes still shimmered pitifully with a fluorescent glow, but in order to avoid being killed, she gritted her teeth and teleported to another location.
At the same time, the illusory narrow space is opened again, giving oneself a chance to buffer.
Surprisingly, the thoughts and ideas of those who were channeled into the magic were similar this time, both condemning the giant's shamelessness and the pain they were experiencing, which allowed Jiang Kehan to find a little bit of joy amidst the suffering.
She watched the giants attack again with a solemn expression, and while she still had a chance to resurrect, she did something extremely risky.
Jiang Kehan wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to create a Condensation Staff.
Ignoring her complex thoughts, she calmly gave the order.
"Now, let's act to kill the Titan!"
Like the interior of a grand and complex machine, the steam-powered heart began to roar and command, and countless intersecting gears began to turn slowly.
A series of sharp, harsh sounds echoed, indicating that the machine was not functioning.
But the giant had already arrived. Each of its attacks was not a simple punch or kick, but rather it tried to bring its entire body with it to ensure that the attack could cover every corner of the shadow in front of it.
If you're going to use your body as a weapon, you have to be even more thorough!
Jiang Kehan looked at the shadows that had engulfed her, but she closed her eyes with a sense of contentment.
Since they cannot yet control all their thoughts, they will only repent when death truly knocks on their door!
So, come on!
This death is exactly what I wanted.
There seemed to be a gust of wind, and a few grains of sand, stirred up by the wind, brushed past Jiang Kehan's face, indifferently passing by her.
In a daze, Jiang Kehan heard a slightly amused murmur. When she recalled it, she realized that the speaker was herself.
"Ok."
Shadows enveloped the area, and the giant's movements, exceeding the speed bound by light, meant that a simple impact was enough to destroy everything.
Thus, the illusory narrow space became nothingness, and remained silent.
Jiang Kehan felt a sense of liberation as she was being stripped away, and remained silent.
Thus, the increasingly solemn giant sensed the surging energy around him and remained silent.
Silence accompanied by darkness, mercilessly and mockingly enveloping the place, making the already noisy battlefield unusually quiet.
It seems that at this moment, everyone is swept up by time, forced to look in the same direction as witnessing this moment.
A slight dampness filled their ears and noses. Everyone stared at the space that had turned into nothingness, feeling dazed, as if they could hear the sound of the tide.
A silver crown, inlaid with gems like stars, suddenly fell. Then, Jiang Kehan's figure changed from faint to real. She still had her eyes closed, but she had already sent out her own voice to the world!
"I've come to kill you, giant."
P.S.: Waaah, it seems like I've reverted to my pathetic self with 4K Japanese audio again.
Chapter 401 The Final Lament
Jiang Kehan calmly gazed at the giant before her, raised her right hand, and then slowly opened it, as if to grasp everything in front of her, including the giant.
Magic, no, will, filled the space according to her desires, grinning as it turned her shattered thoughts into reality.
Time and space seemed to freeze; the soldiers on the war-torn continent had no time to act and could only watch.
The giant, who was seen as prey, was not having an easy time either. Its usually calm, dark eyes rippled this time as it began to seriously consider whether it could escape death as it had done in the face of countless calamities before.
Terrifying—that was the only, and most fitting, description the giant could give to the petite witch before him.
When that crown, gleaming with silver light yet so understated, like a monarch silently resting his chin on his hand and looking sideways, landed on the other's head, everything changed.
The world was still the same world, but around the giant, it seemed strange and distant.
Jiang Kehan, with her own will and magic, redefined the rules of this place.
If we say that the small world of a normal level 7 creature is like a thieving rat stealing the grain that was already in the granary, it is a way to steal the rules and run its own world.
At this point, Jiang Kehan became even more aloof, treating the world as nothing, casually sweeping it aside until everything met her needs.
There's nowhere to hide; it's extremely perverse.
The giant sighed, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.
It stared directly at Jiang Kehan, stretched its arms out behind it with all its might, and roared: "Come on, unknown giant!"
The giant did not flinch. Under Jiang Kehan's consciousness, a new rule had suddenly appeared: movement means instant death. This rule had a higher priority than the immunity ability that level 8 creatures possessed.
Moreover, it doesn't want to hide. When facing storms, true giants always laugh and stride towards danger to conquer calamity!
This is the unique path of tempering that giants possess, and the reason they never retreat in a hundred battles.
Jiang Kehan's gaze narrowed slightly, and she nodded with a look of admiration, but what followed was a merciless and devastating attack!
Her own unique "authority" staff has been created. Although it is still somewhat immature and needs continuous forging, the creation of something from scratch is enough to bring about a qualitative change in her strength.
I don't know why, even though she wanted a sword and staff like Ning Xiao's, she ended up with a crown.
It couldn't be that Jiang Kehan had a slight headache and needed a crown to cure it, could it?
If it gets cold next time, will you have to change into the Nine Dragons Robe?
Jiang Kehan smiled, a rare occurrence, as she had finally achieved her goal and could finally relax a little from her worries.
Although she can't yet replace magic with willpower like the Great Witch, at most she can say that magic and willpower coexist, but the logic of spellcasting has changed.
Originally, the process involved sketching out a spell model, then filling it with magic power for casting, with a magic power manipulation step in between.
Now, the spell model is completed as soon as magic is activated, like painting with water. This is much faster than the old method of carving a template first and then filling it with water.
Furthermore, with the assistance of willpower, although the upper limit of the spell cannot be changed, the amount of magic power required to achieve the same result is reduced dramatically.
The original spell required nearly 100,000 mana to reach its maximum power in the composite spell "Blazing Light," but now it only requires a little over 10,000, and the power can even be reduced as the staff solidifies.
As for the unreasonable additional rules?
This is not Jiang Kehan's current ability, but rather the authority inherent in the staff.
The witches' will grows stronger, and the "reality" they can create becomes increasingly powerful.
Jiang Kehan guessed that the style of the Great Witch's fight might look like this.
First, use your will to apply a bunch of instant-death rules to the opponent, such as killing them instantly upon releasing Scorching Light. The targeting is incredibly strong.
Then they would exchange spells.
Why do we still need to use magic?
Because these rules are essentially a clash of wills between the two witches, you can add them to me, but I can also use my own will to counteract this unreasonable rule. Moreover, witches are a race that has maxed out resurrection.
A simple instant kill isn't really that powerful; it's only good for creating openings for the opponent and disrupting their rhythm.
More importantly, the will of the Great Witch grants them a high degree of immunity, allowing them to disregard the world's original rules and, naturally, ignore most influences other than magic and rules not created by the will of a witch.
For example, environmental factors that may occur during a battle between little witches, or even the small worlds of other advanced beings, are completely ineffective against the great witch.
Whether it's a different race or the "Supreme," there's almost no way to kill a Great Witch except through overwhelming power in terms of rank.
Unlike magic, which is a product that completely subverts reality and has no logic, it can only be brought into reality by the omnipotence of magic.
The so-called spell model is essentially a way to package this subversion with a disguised version of real-world logic, so that the world can naturally repair itself before the spell takes effect.
Of course, this is something that low-level spells need to worry about. The model of high-level spells is more about restraining the power that is already dissipating, so that its power will undergo a qualitative change.
Jiang Kehan's thoughts were racing, but her fingers slowly clenched, and the several full-power scorching flames behind her grew brighter and redder.
Being able to reduce the magic power consumption of spells to just over ten thousand is extremely crucial for Jiang Kehan.
Because witches are beings that restore magic power based on a percentage!
Jiang Kehan stared at the giant who was assuming a defensive posture, looking slightly regretful.
