Otaku Witch-Chapter 1696 - 886: The Plan (2)

At once, Dorothy gave a flick to the forehead of the troublemaking kid who seemed eager to see the world in chaos.

"Eat your meal quietly, just because you’re silent doesn’t mean anyone will think you’re mute."

Tsk, tsk, tsk, you think she doesn’t want to hit? If she were really the Dragon King’s Envoy, she would have stormed the Hall of Holy Blood with her force long ago.

But alas, her role as the Dragon King’s Envoy is fake; she doesn’t have a team of Grand Inquisitors under her command right now, so a direct attack is impossible, and she can only resort to small tricks.

She immediately offered a reassuring glance to her two aunties.

"Rest assured, the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families are elders of the Witch Clan after all, and have been actively expanding Witch World’s territory over the years. Red Moon Sage has made an outstanding, indelible contribution to Witch World’s development, so we don’t wish to stir up too much trouble and affect the reputation of the Vampire Clan Witch."

She knew what the two aunties were worried about at this moment; they genuinely feared she might overturn the table and expose the Vampire Clan Witch’s collusion with the Abyssal Demon Lord, which would leave the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families without a foothold in Witch World.

After all, the term Abyssal Demon Lord is very sensitive at this point.

Previously, the God King subdued the Angel in the battle of heaven, and not long ago, the Dragon King’s expedition subdued the Dragon Realm. Currently, only the demons of the Abyss among the old Three Calamities are still restless towards the witches.

Witch World and the Abyss are in a tense state, with gunpowder smells everywhere, treating each other as enemies.

At this critical junction, if the Vampire Clan Witches were branded as insiders within Witch World, they’d really be hearing calls for their extermination.

The Demon Witch already has a bad reputation. Adding this to the mix would truly be like adding frost to snow, a scene the two aunties are unwilling to witness.

And indeed, upon receiving Dorothy’s promise, the Duchess Sisters both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Dorothy then spoke again.

"Of course, innocent people shouldn’t be implicated, but guilty ones must be punished."

The Homebody Witch’s tone became cold and assertive.

Well, her role at the moment is the Dragon King’s Envoy; being too accommodating wouldn’t do, so her stance had to be firm.

"As for whether other clans will agree, there’s no need for the two of you to worry. I believe they’ll consent when the time comes."

A cold smile appeared on Dorothy’s lips.

Haha, Sacrificial Faction, Return Faction, ultimately they’re all just dogs of the Abyssal Demon Lord, so how does one get dogs to obey?

Beat them up?

No, it should be beating up their master in front of them.

Behind the Sacrificial Faction stands the Demon Lord of Pride, Lucifer, and behind the Return Faction stands the Greedy Demon God Mammon.

If it were Dorothy herself, she’d surely stay far away from these two Original Sin Demon Gods, but she now holds the Brave card of Adam, as well as the Magical card of Artie; both black and white sides belong to me, what do you minor Demon Gods have to contend with?

The Homebody Witch curled her lips, her smile confident and wicked.

"I have a plan for that, which is why I need the help of you both."

Dorothy said so.

Seeing the confidence in the envoy, Camilla and Elizabeth became somewhat curious instantly.

They understood the arrogance and stubbornness of their tribesmen; some guys are inexplicably difficult to reason with and extremely radical and crazy.

Even if this envoy declared her identity to them, these guys might not back down.

After all, not everyone is as sensible as the two of them.

Or perhaps their quick submission comes from fear of the Dragon King’s might and because they are genuinely innocent, not traitors, so they can be honest.

But telling a real insider to surrender, do you think they’d really comply, or hide their failure and take desperate measures?

"Care to elaborate."

The two immediately asked eagerly.

"Mhm, from what I’ve heard, both the Sacrificial Faction and the Return Faction are aiming to strike a deal with the Demon God to obtain a special soul, so what do you think of this soul?"

Suddenly, Dorothy pointed a finger at Artie and said. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Artie: "......"

In the midst of happily gnawing on a griffin’s tail, the Devil Girl froze instantly.

Ah, no way, teacher, I genuinely haven’t messed up this time, yet you’re selling me?

"Teacher, I’m your most obedient and sensible student."

Artie looked tearfully at Dorothy.

Yet the Homebody Witch remained expressionless.

"So?"

She asked.

"So there needs to be additional compensation, after it’s all done, you must give me some reward, teacher."

Artie replied with a bright smile.

However, behind this smile, there was a hint of bitterness.

The Devil Girl is smart, more inclined to wisdom among the Three Kings, though her teacher hadn’t said anything, through observing her teacher’s actions over the past days, she vaguely realized her teacher might not always be by her side.

Perhaps once this Thirteen Vampire Clan Families’ matter is resolved, her teacher would leave.

This realization put Artie in a foul mood.

She really hoped her teacher would stay, but after mingling for the past month, she knew she couldn’t keep her teacher.

Just like how her teacher suddenly appeared downstairs a month ago, soon her teacher would abruptly vanish.

This kind of situation she truly didn’t want.

Therefore, she decided to strike proactively in this last time, at least to leave behind a cherished memory post-teacher’s departure.

Seeing the anticipation in Artie’s eyes, Dorothy also glanced deeply at her.

The Homebody Witch knew this kid was presumably planning something again, but acknowledging her dangerous and arduous role as a "sacrificial victim" coming up, she frowned.

"Fine."

Ultimately, Dorothy nodded.

Mhm, equivalent exchange is undeniable truth, since needing Artie’s help naturally requires paying a price, and unless the requests are overly excessive, she’d try to fulfill them.

"Hooray!"

Witnessing her teacher actually agree to her demands, the Devil Girl cheered with joy, and subsequently, she willingly unleashed her soul’s aura.

As Artie’s Power of the Soul was unleashed instantly, the Duchess Sisters were frightened to the point of dropping their knives and forks, gazing at this Fortune Teller.

It was a soul that appeared incomparably beautiful and pure at first glance; if one’s vision wasn’t sharp enough, one might mistake it for a descending Holy Spirit. However, as Vampire Clan witches, akin to Demon Witches, Camilla and Elizabeth were sensitive to the Power of Original Sin.

Thus, they could vaguely perceive the immense terror hidden beneath this beautiful soul.

How to describe this feeling? Just like having an innocent, cute girlfriend who loves you, but every intimate moment, you occasionally hallucinate raw flesh, tentacles, eyeballs, and teeth, making you realize your girlfriend perhaps isn’t human but an indescribable monster.

After a single glance at this soul, the Inspiration inside the Duchess Sisters shrieked alarms, suggesting they cease watching, cease listening, and immediately shut their senses.

Gazing longer indeed leads to damnation.

Beneath the beautiful exterior of the soul lies something akin to the world’s entirety of sin, that unspeakable horror crowned with the Seven Deadly Sins, seemingly born to deliver tremendous terror to the world.

As for the oracle the Sacrificial Faction pursued at great cost, they had heard about it.

Lord Demon God mentioned needing a Soul of Extreme Evil but didn’t specify standards, only saying they’d know upon seeing it.

That cryptic phrase seemed merely a Demon God’s wicked amusement to them previously, but now they know it was fact.

This indeed required just a single glance to comprehend.

Perhaps only such a unique soul deserves the coveting of an Original Sin Demon God.

...Duchess Sisters in shock....
