Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 148 - 57: Next Up to Arrive Is...

Even though he was so badly injured, Twin kept muttering to himself as if he didn’t care about the wound on his right arm at all.

From the break, a viscous, mud-like dark magic power was bubbling out.

However, Iris frowned deeply.

"Filthy magic power?"

The flowing blood was almost entirely magic power.

Iris’s pupils trembled slightly, and she asked seriously, "An artificial witch from the Witch Association?"

With a sigh, Twin said, "How did even you find out? Damn it, this was supposed to be my top-secret intelligence, and now it’s public information? I’ve lost my advantage. What on earth are the Witch Associations in other cities doing?"

Iris took a deep breath, her gaze filled with both pity and wariness.

A Disaster Beast alone cannot stand against the Disaster Strategy Bureau.

The Witch Association has the ability to control Disaster Beasts, even create them, but in the end, a Disaster Beast that hasn’t reached A-level is hardly a threat. However, an A-level Disaster Beast is difficult for the Witch Association to handle even by themselves.

In fact, some city’s Witch Associations have been completely devoured by the very A-level Disaster Beasts they cultivated, so much so that the Disaster Strategy Bureau doesn’t even need to intervene.

To fight against Magical Girls, the Witch Association researched and created the inhumane artificial witches.

They are not fallen Magical Girls, and do not require the Miracle Seed.

These artificial witches undergo brutal experiments from a young age, merging their flesh and blood with filthy magic power.

Ultimately, they become like Twin, entities whose bodies are almost entirely linked to filthy magic power.

"Do you know? We artificial witches were originally the most perfect raw gems." Twin held the Seed of Sorrow in her left hand, and the filthy magic power began to spread across her body, wrapping around her, "Selected with great care by the Witch Association from a young age, we were potential candidates to become Magical Girls. That’s why we were able to successfully replace our flesh and blood with filthy magic power and become the most perfect witches."

A blood-red cross split open on her forehead, and Twin embedded the Seed of Sorrow into the blood-red cross on her forehead, "Just like now."

The filthy magic power quickly regenerated her right arm, and next, a blue and black checkered skirt gradually covered her entire body.

"Though I’m cute and charming, I bring death and curses."

A blue ribbon bound the surging black magic power around her body, and Iris noticed at once that the outfit resembled Dong Jun’s to some extent.

No, I should say it’s striving to resemble Dong Jun’s magic armor.

It’s just that some areas of filthy magic power’s blackness can never be removed, but with those blue patterns and ribbons, overall, it does seem closer to resembling Dong Jun.

"Artificial Witch, number 04396, codename Twin, at your service."

So it really was an artificial witch, Iris turned her head slightly to appraise her opponent’s magic armor, "Are you imitating Dong Jun?"

"I’m so glad you recognized it at once, I put a lot of thought into this." Twin spun around, her expression like a child with a new outfit, "How’s it, isn’t it just like Lord Dong Jun? Hee hee."

"I didn’t expect the Cyan Cloud Sect to be involved with the Witch Association."

Taking a deep breath, Iris said in a somber tone, "To even be associated with an artificial witch, it seems like I can’t easily let..."

Before she finished speaking, she sensed an aura of extreme danger.

It reminded her of the feeling when she was in her New Seedlings phase, marked by an A-level Disaster Beast.

That creeping sense of danger.

"Watch how you speak, newcomer." Twin, who always had a flamboyant smile, suddenly turned cold for the first time, "How could Lord Dong Jun have anything to do with that filthy group of the Witch Association? Even if Lord Dong Jun stepped on them, it would only dirty his shoes."

Iris was thrown into confusion by her attitude.

Words from the Witch Association can’t be fully trusted, but the other’s tone of voice left no room for interpretation as a lie.

What exactly is the relationship between the Witch Association and the Cyan Cloud Sect? Why is this artificial witch so protective of Dong Jun?

"Who exactly are you?"

"In the Cyan Cloud Sect, I’m a Magical Girl; in the Witch Association, I’m a witch. The ever-changing, lovable girl, Twin, is me~"

It was the first time Iris met a girl more narcissistic than herself.

But there wasn’t time to think any further; the opponent had already lunged forward.

Such fast speed!

She didn’t even sense a burst of magic power, pure physical ability? Or a skill?

With a gentle turn of the magic wand, the surrounding gravity was inverted, and eight times the gravity instantly weighed down on Twin!

But Twin only paused for a split second before charging forward without any hindrance.

A fierce right whip kick was heading straight for her head like a sharp axe!

Is this close-quarters combat, witch-style?

She held her magic wand to block while altering parts of the gravitational field, trying to divert the ferocious kick coming her way.

Yet it was to no avail, and Iris took the full brunt of the whip kick with her right arm, quickly reducing the gravity around her to throw herself back rapidly!

Neutralizing the impact and creating distance, she then readjusted her gravity to stabilize her stance.

Was my ability nullified?

No, just now, I could feel that my ability did work; it wasn’t nullified.

To verify her suspicion, she narrowed the gravitational field this time, bending just the opponent’s arm.

This time she clearly sensed that the opponent also changed the gravity, instantly neutralizing her ability!

"You can manipulate gravity too?"

Iris involuntarily asked.

But Twin only looked at her with a mocking smile, clearly not intending to explain.

While a Magical Girl’s ability is not unique, it’s the first time in so many years that she met a witch whose ability was identical to hers.

Could it be tailored specifically for me?

But my visit to Beihai was a temporary decision by the main bureau, the Witch Association couldn’t have known, and even if they did, they wouldn’t specifically send a witch who could manipulate gravity to deal with me—the way they are familiar with the Cyan Cloud Sect in Beihai shows they’ve been active in Beihai for a while, unrelated to me.
