I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 214 : 195. The Mastermind Behind the Garden

The Light Elf, clad in a golden dress, had radiant golden Spiritual Flow fluttering on either side of her shoulder blades, forming a pair of Elf Wings.

With the tremor of the Elf Wings, her figure flickered and in an instant, she arrived in front of Xia Feng, her staff sparkling with the light of madness as she raised it high, ready to stab towards Xia Feng's brow.

But in the very moment she raised her hand, time seemed to stop, leaving only the ravaging Spiritual Flow in the surrounding sea of flames.

Her magnificent golden pupils slowly expanded, reflecting the man's K mask.

"Optimization—"

The calm male voice was like someone whispering seductively in her ear, and with a jolt, her Spiritual Body began to sublimate involuntarily.

Waves of indefinable pleasure traveled up from her tailbone along her spine to her nerves.

[Optimization successful—]

This delightful sensation, like a surging sweet spring assaulting her spirit, made her feel her abilities had been greatly enhanced all around. It was as if an expanding power had been forcibly stuffed inside her, making her even more powerful!

"Is this... this guy's ability?" The Light Elf quickly regained her senses, her eyes wide with astonishment as she stared at the person in the K mask in front of her. She finally understood why she had inexplicably developed a desire to approach the K-masked man.

This K-masked man was actually able to enhance a Spiritual Artifact's abilities, causing her to evolve!

This was something she had never experienced while at her master's side, nor was it a sensation she had ever felt.

Having tasted this pleasure, she inexplicably wanted more, wanted to be optimized by this man again.

And this was probably also the reason why the K-masked man was optimizing her right now—telling her the benefits of optimization. If she didn't want to lose this enhancement, she would have to betray her master and switch over from light to darkness.

To gain strength and become even more powerful, she really wanted to abandon her useless master.

But as a transformed humanoid Spiritual Artifact, she had her dignity and her principles. Although she really, really wanted to be optimized by this man, she would not abandon Jin Zhengen!

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind, and with a sharp glint in the Light Elf's beautiful eyes, the terrifying beam in her hand that could destroy a Superior Rank Spirit Master's soul pierced straight toward Xia Feng's brow.

"Optimization—"

Xia Feng's voice like that of a demon echoed once again in the Light Elf's head. Her spine straightened as if she were electrified, her pupils abnormally contracted, her red lips parted and quivered, and with a light gasp, she collapsed forward with a thud.

A Spiritual Artifact being optimized once strengthens it, but being optimized two or more times results in its destruction because a Spiritual Artifact of this level cannot withstand any further enhancements.

The Light Elf trembled, her beautiful eyes somewhat bewildered, as Xia Feng placed a hand on her smooth forehead, his heart thoughts stirring, continuing to optimize non-stop.

As several bursts of optimizing power poured into the Light Elf's body instantaneously, her mesmerized eyes gradually rolled back and her mouth twitched incessantly.

"?!!" Jin Zhengen had just pointed at Xia Feng, coldly commanding the death of the bastard, but before he could celebrate his victory, he saw the Light Elf under Xia Feng's hand looking somewhat off.

"What the fuck—you—what are you doing?" Jin Zhengen breathed heavily.

"Master.... I, I am going to go..."

The Light Elf knew she was going to die. She could feel her Spiritual Body and consciousness dissipating with the swelling of the optimizing power, heading towards extinction. But she also felt her power crazily, incessantly increasing!

Therefore, she couldn't care less, nor could she conceive the slightest thought of resistance, only wanting to experience the surging joy of this power at the end of her life.

With the Light Elf's scream, five golden beams of light burst from the vertical marks on her forehead and soared into the sky, interweaving as they rose.

Jin Zhengen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly forced himself to break free from the restraints to escape outwards. Rek, who had just stood up, and Ito Mei, who was protected by the human skin puppet, felt their scalps go numb and turned their heads to run with awful expressions on their faces.

But at this point, with the coordinated attacks of a dozen or so Spiritual Artifacts, their severely injured selves running away was just a futile struggle.

Along with the shrill noise like fingernails scraping a blackboard, the beams of light in midair suddenly exploded, and the terrifying Spiritual Shock burst forth like a volcanic eruption. With wave after wave of blasts, numerous fiery arrow-like flames exploded in all directions, piercing through the foreheads of more than twenty Spiritual Bodies on the battlefield and instantly killing them.

Swish, swish—

Rek and Jin Zhengen were also pierced by beams of light, and in a moment of slight hesitation, their Spiritual Bodies slowly dissipated.

From the arrival of the K-faced people to now, it was actually less than five seconds. Yet, until their deaths, they still hadn't understood what the hell was going on?! Why could these K-faced people use their Spiritual Artifacts?!

This... could it be the K-faced people's ability to use Spiritual Artifacts? But that seems too outrageous!!

"Great Goddess!" Knight Rek called, attempting to seek help from the Black Moon Goddess.

But the Black Moon Goddess was too busy to care, still focusing on contending against the Red Mist.

Swish—

Ito Mei, the last remaining survivor, was likewise pierced by a beam of light through her forehead. She let out a reluctant low growl. If she had successfully found Li Hongdou and skinned her earlier, maybe there was still a sliver of a chance for survival.

She was not willing to die like this.

But it was futile, her soul too exploded in despair.

The battlefield returned to complete silence, with only the sea of fire mingled with blood still raging, crackling crisply.

Xia Feng looked around the dazzling Star River without lingering, quickly gathered a large pile of Yao Stone and spiritual materials scattered all over the ground, sensed the direction, and flashed in front of Mushroom lurking in the shadows.

"Let's go! Hurry back to the Present Realm."

"Ah?" Although Mushroom didn't understand, he nodded, slit his palm, and dropped blood onto the Yao Stone.

The Yao Stone could be used to enter the Miracle Star River. To leave, one just needed to fill the Yao Stone with one's blood, which should take about thirty seconds, and then they could be transported away.

Xia Feng didn't know the current situation of the Black Moon Goddess, but he had no plans to linger here any longer. It was best to run first.

He had actually been prepared to reveal the Dragon God's True Name when entering the Moon Surface Space earlier, and he was also ready to flee with Crow Feathers directly if the Black Moon disregarded the Dragon God's True Name.

However, now that it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to take too many risks too aggressively. Discretion was the better part of valor.

Amid the chaos of the Miracle Star River, at the Church Court, Knight Main Hall.

Within the hall, the figure of Zorav, the Judgment Chief, slowly appeared on the dim high-backed chair, frowning, "Knight Luo Ke? What is the matter?"

Opposite him sat a Knight clad in blood-red armor, robust in stature with a Bald head engraved with a sinister black 'Luo' character.

Even more peculiar, his face was exactly like Knight Rek's, as if they were twins.

"The mastermind behind the Garden has been identified. It is Director Xuanwu from the Holy Department."

Knight Luo Ke calmly raised his eyes and said in a quiet voice, "And, according to Xuanwu's testimony, the Garden has close ties with the Burning Heaven Temple, and Xia Feng, a freshman at Weiyang Academy, is a key figure, suspected to be an important person in the Burning Heaven Temple."

"Oh? So what?" Zorav asked, puzzled, not understanding why the investigative team would come to report this to him.
