Becoming a White-Haired Witch in a World Full of Anomalies

Chapter 81 : Twilight Witch

Bai Ling came to the light barrier's side and reached out to try touching it. She immediately felt a stinging pain and quickly withdrew her hand."That hurts."

Just then, a figure appeared in the forest - a young woman with pink hair wearing a pink short skirt with twin tails, lively and cute.

"Over here, over here."

The girl called to Bai Ling. The two looked at each other across the barrier.

"Come, together with me, put your hand up."

The girl's hand pressed against the barrier, her palm burned by the barrier and continuously emitting white smoke. Bai Ling half-believingly slowly pressed her hand up. In that instant, their positions changed - Bai Ling appeared outside the barrier while she appeared inside it.

"This is?"

"Big sister asked you to come for tea. Don't worry, I'll wait here for you. Go quickly and come back soon."

"Oh, oh."

Bai Ling entered the forest. The surrounding trees and vegetation were all full of magic power, emitting light. So this was the so-called Witch Forest?

Entering the forest interior, stepping on the path left colorful footprints on the ground. The surrounding flowers were extraordinarily lush, even in this sunless eternal night.

Until she saw a small stream, not far from the riverbank where a small table was set with two girls sitting across from each other, with three empty seats beside them.

"Ah, you came." The black-haired girl in a black dress on the left stood up and waved at Bai Ling.

"Hello."

"Good evening. Just call me Twilight Witch."

"Then call me Blood Witch."

The girl in a green dress on the right stood up and bowed slightly:

"I am called Forest Witch. Pleased to meet you."

"Sit down, come."

Twilight Witch pulled Bai Ling to sit and thoughtfully handed her a cup of tea, indicating for Bai Ling to try it.

Just as Bai Ling was about to taste this faintly glowing tea, a red-haired girl in a flame dress walked over, speaking boldly:

"Yo, another newcomer?"

"Hello."

"Call me Flame Witch."

The girl looked at the empty seats and asked puzzledly:

"Where's Star Witch?"

The Twilight Witch on the left explained:

"She went inside the barrier to bring the newcomer over."

"I see."

Bai Ling again picked up the tea to drink. Just as it was about to reach her mouth, the Flame Witch beside her suddenly showed a disgusted expression.

"Twilight, is your old habit acting up again?"

"Eh?"

Bai Ling put down the teacup, looking puzzledly at the Twilight Witch beside her.

Seeing Bai Ling put down the teacup with a puzzled expression, Twilight asked:

"What's wrong with this tea?"

"It has her bodily fluids." Flame Witch's expression was somewhat disgusted.

"Ah?"

"That's not true."

Twilight guiltily looked away. Bai Ling immediately felt some lingering fear.

【I wondered why none of you were drinking】

"Alright, alright, let's talk business." Forest Witch quickly mediated, trying to bring the topic back on track.

"Every ten years we gather here for tea parties. The purpose is to exchange experiences and find advancement methods. After all, we're the same type of anomaly - all witch species."

"However, among us, the one who's lived longest has been around for over a thousand years, but still remains at Anomaly King level, unable to advance."

"But until eighteen years ago, someone called Blood Witch actually tried to advance to Anomaly God. You must know none of us could do that, and that Blood Witch had existed for at most a hundred years."

"After that incident, we've been searching for her. Although everyone's advancement method is different, we have no clue how to advance, so we wanted to ask how she found her advancement method."

"Unfortunately, I never found her until recently, when I found you."

"Is this why you sought me out?"

"Yes. I can see you should have the Blood Witch sealed within you. But don't worry - we have no sympathy for such extremely dangerous peers. You are now the new Blood Witch."

"But I don't know how to advance either."

"I'll teach you how to use her power. Given time, you'll surely master her power completely. Through this, you can discover how she obtained her advancement method. If conditions are met, you can also advance to Crimson Witch."

"So what should I do?"

Twilight Witch pulled Bai Ling onto a magic circle and recited her true words:

"I am the Twilight Witch, the boundary between dusk and night!"

With the end of her true words, a small black mark appeared on the back of Bai Ling's hand.

"What's this?"

"Whenever you need the Blood Witch's power but can't use it, you can touch this mark. It will consume part of your recent memories to strengthen your mental power, allowing you to easily draw on the Blood Witch's power."

"Normally ignoring it has no side effects, right?"

"No side effects."

"Then thank you."

"You're welcome. This is also so I can quickly find advancement methods. I wonder how the Blood Witch found it."

"Let's discuss the second matter."

The witches suddenly sat down seriously in their chairs. Seeing this, Bai Ling also obediently sat to the side.

"After the black mist descended, I felt an unprecedented threat. This black mist attached to the sky surely has unknown secrets. That eye in the sky is like a watcher or sentinel. Once someone tries to unveil the sky's veil, it will act."

"This might relate to the entire world's survival. After all, this black mist is too mysterious - can't be detected, attacked, or dispersed."

"So I propose cooperating with human powerhouses to break through the black mist's shroud together and bring bright salvation."

"Yes, as Twilight Witch, the current sky won't have twilight weather at all. If this continues, I'll be useless."

"But you can't even enter the light barrier."

"That's where you come in."

"Me?"

"After you switch back with Star Witch, you can help us watch whether any human companies have intentions to go to the top of the black mist. When the time comes, contact me through bounty notices."

"Oh, I understand. But..."

"Don't worry, we won't let you suffer losses."

Twilight Witch took out a pile of anomaly cores of various grades along with some special snacks and opened beverages, handing them all to Bai Ling.

"Never mind the others, but why are these drinks already opened?"

Twilight Witch looked away.

"Of course it's because you're too strong, so they seem opened."

"Is that so?"

【I'm done for. I don't dare eat these snacks either. What if she mixed in something strange?】
