Chapter 1292: Chapter 725: Dangerous Tour Guide
Outside the Witch’s Home.
Madeline put away the Judgment Order, and after waiting for a moment, a portal opened in the protective barrier around the island.
The succubus witch didn’t hesitate and quickly darted inside.
Speaking of which, this was her first time at the Witch’s Home, and she looked around curiously at her surroundings.
Upon reaching the island, what greeted her eyes was a lush forest, and in front of the path leading to the depths of the woods stood a beautiful maid dressed as a head maid, who had been waiting for some time.
Madeline glanced at the maid and was dazzled by her beauty, which was no less than that of her own sister. Until now, she always thought her sister might be the most beautiful witch below the Third King, but this maid’s beauty was equally unmatched.
Because they were blood relatives, she had some natural resistance against her sister’s beauty, preventing her from losing control, but this maid was unfamiliar to her, and so this beauty felt somewhat dangerous to Madeline.
After all, she was a succubus witch, and succubi are always filled with desire for beautiful things. The more beautiful something is, the more it can provoke a succubus’s hunting instinct.
Fortunately, Madeline was not a typical succubus witch; she had been considered a disgrace to succubi in the past because of her obsession with martial arts.
Desire only hinders my martial arts practice.
Thus, her strong martial will easily quelled and extinguished the waves stirred in her heart; she was very adept at this as a succubus witch.
After all, as her sister grew, her beauty, which was already like innate charm magic, became increasingly irresistible, even her blood relatives’ natural resistance could only hold for so long.
When watching her innocent sister, occasionally as an elder sister, Madeline’s heart would momentarily slip, leading to wicked thoughts.
Of course, this wasn’t too much of a problem, since everyone has wicked thoughts — as long as one doesn’t act on them, it’s not a big deal. However, her sister has the talent to sense others’ wicked thoughts.
If her sister discovered her wicked thoughts, it wouldn’t just embarrass her socially; more than her reputation, Madeline cared about her sister’s feelings.
Her sister had already suffered enough from others’ filthy desires; if she learned that even her sister harbored wicked thoughts, how heartbroken would she be?
Luckily, they were from a renowned family in the Mental Faction, with two mothers who were peaks in the Spiritual School, holding great insight into cutting off stray thoughts, overcoming desires, and defeating heart demons.
Although Madeline only wanted to pursue martial arts, for her sister’s sake, she still learned some family-owned ultimate techniques from her mothers.
Moreover, Battle Magic martial skills were not so inconvenient to manage.
Actually, nowadays saying there are Nine Major Factions in Witch Magic isn’t accurate, because the Combat Magic System shouldn’t be listed separately alongside other schools; rather, it should stand directly with the Eight Methods of the God King.
The Eight Methods of the God King and the Dragon King Battle Technique, these two are in equal relationships.
More straightforwardly, it’s the difference between traditional Spellcasters and Melee Mages.
Before Dragon King Battle Technique, most witches were mainly Artillery Witches. Though their physical fitness was quite high, their combat style was primarily ranged bombardment, rarely engaging in close combat.
Back then for witches, fighting in close quarters was actually a weakness, a last resort.
After Lord Dragon King established the Combat Magic System, this weakness was finally addressed.
Ultimately, while Combat Magic techniques are trained like martial arts and fought as such, they are not purely martial arts but spellcasting.
They simply integrate martial arts, casting spells in martial arts form.
Since it involves spellcasting, naturally it can’t escape the Eight Methods of the God King.
To date, the branches within the Combat Magic Faction are diverse, including styles like the Wave Flow from the Evocation Faction, the Drug-Indulging Style from the Potion School, the Projection Flow from the Alchemy School, the Skeleton Flow from the Necromancy Bloodline, and so on.
So, even if they call it the Nine Witch Factions now, in practice, the Combat Magic System doesn’t conflict with the other eight systems, but complements them.
The Combat Magic System is akin to the physical education class in mortal schools; it’s a faction that can be concurrently studied regardless of major or discipline.
Unlike mortal physical education teachers who often fall ill and cancel class, the witches’ combat magic classes are mandatory. The little witches first choose from the Eight Methods of the God King the faction that suits them best, then in combat magic class find a teacher to learn the corresponding battle magic martial skills.
Hence, theoretically speaking, claiming all witches belong to the Combat Magic School isn’t wrong either.
Usually, when someone claims to be from the Combat Magic School, they refer to those special witches who’ve abandoned ranged attacks, specializing in combat magic.
That is, those at the bottom of the Armed Witch hierarchy — the Assault Witches.
Yes, plainly speaking, they’re the athletic prodigies of the Witch World.
Of course, this isn’t to derogate Assault Witches; after all, the Dragon King is the strongest Assault Witch, with extremely high potential in this profession.
However, the Combat Magic System also has the lowest entry threshold among factions; such low entry naturally leads to a mixed bag within the entire group.
Top-level Assault Witches are incomprehensibly powerful, capable of a thousand kills on the battlefield in mere moments, but the lower-level Assault Witches...
