Otaku Witch-Chapter 1455 - 794: The Final Trial (Part 2)

But in the end, this was delayed again by the Devil King’s prank, which is really annoying.

Hmm, this prank has been dragging on for quite a while, but now she almost understands the core of this Devil King’s prank, so next, it’s time to muster all her strength and speedrun through it.

And just as she was thinking this, a streak of light descended from the sky, landing in her hand.

Dorothy instinctively reached out to catch the streak of light and found that it was a delicate and small birdcage made of golden wire. Along with it, a message flowed into her mind.

[The Cage of Contentment: This is a reward for those who defeat Greed. May you always protect the most precious treasure well.]

Hmm, another weird piece of gear for passing a level, still introduced with the same riddle-like style.

Clearly, it speaks of protection, but the birdcage’s function is imprisonment. It can turn powerless enemies into caged birds and incarcerate them within.

This form of protection is truly heavy.

The homebody witch hung the birdcage on her waist, using it as a pendant. Since it’s about the size of a keychain, it fit quite well.

The appearance of this level-clearing equipment also made her more certain about the game’s core.

"The Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Virtues, huh?"

She thought to herself.

Facing Sloth, you need the courage to escape comfort.

Facing Gluttony, you need self-restraint.

Facing Envy, you need tolerance for imperfections.

Facing Greed, you need the contentment to remember your original intention.

The Seven Deadly Sins have passed four sins, leaving three sins.

"Pride, Wrath, and Lust, huh?"

Dorothy thought to herself.

And she looked at her sisters around her, likewise there are still three more who haven’t gathered.

Ruthfiel, Madeline, and the Haunted House’s original master, Miss Wendigo.

"Little Fairy, have you grown up a bit?"

While the homebody witch was contemplating the core of the game, Senior Mia’s curious voice suddenly sounded.

Dorothy snapped back to reality and saw that her senior and junior were both curiously observing her.

This was normal, as she was still a loli when she was captured by the Black Dragon, but now that she’s returned, she’s become a young girl.

She has grown up.

"This is the Spirit World, appearances don’t really mean much here."

The homebody witch shrugged, speaking somewhat helplessly.

To this, Senior Mia nodded understandingly, as her current appearance was also different from reality.

But Audrey blinked, feeling that her senior’s current appearance seemed increasingly familiar.

Hmm, she felt like she had seen this face somewhere before.

She carefully examined her senior’s appearance, and then a spark of Inspiration flashed in her mind.

If her senior were a bit taller, her face a bit more mature and perfect, her demeanor a bit more elusive...

Hiss...

The Little Fox couldn’t help but widen her eyes and jaw, feeling a bit flustered.

Oh my, Lord Demon King?

As a direct descendant of the Demon King, Audrey finally understood the source of that familiar feeling she had before.

Luckily, she was an extremely shy introvert and didn’t dare to speak out; otherwise, she might have exclaimed aloud.

Moreover, she carefully thought about it and didn’t feel the problem was with her senior, but instead remembered the origin of this Haunted House World.

Indeed, this was originally the domain of that Little Aunt.

Audrey thought of Miss Wendigo, although everyone seemed to be about the same age, the generational gap was really vast.

Also, this world was originally created by Lord Demon King, so her senior’s current appearance was probably the result of some game rule.

The Little Fox worked hard to convince herself of this.

But still, she couldn’t help but recall her senior’s previous loli appearance.

Even though she hadn’t recognized the Devil King’s identity from that little girl’s face before, it was still familiar because there was a little girl who looked exactly like that constantly running around her senior during the previous Witch’s Night.

Emmmm...

Stop, stop, what’s not supposed to be thought of shouldn’t be thought about anymore.

Though Audrey was socially anxious, she wasn’t foolish; she’s still a Genius Witch. She quickly connected the dots and decisively cut off her burgeoning curiosity, blocking her thoughts.

Hmm, whatever, as long as senior is safe, that’s enough.

"Senior, shall we go dragon slaying next?"

The Little Fox asked, as if nothing had happened, holding up her notebook.

The originally gentle Senior Mia, whose heart was reassured upon seeing her beloved return safely, became fierce once again at this question. She, too, looked at Dorothy, waiting for a reply.

They hadn’t had the chance to ask the homebody witch how she escaped from Dragon Island.

"No, no, Dragon Island is harmless now, and we already have the level-clearing equipment, there’s no need to waste energy, let’s hurry to the next level."

She said dryly.

Hmm, that silly Miss Black Dragon really doesn’t deserve to die.

For now, she took out that letter again, wanting to see what the next level was.

Sure enough, new words appeared on the envelope, and this time they were no longer ugly; they were even quite beautiful, almost reaching the level of Audrey’s handwriting.

Dorothy was very satisfied with this, it seems Artie truly practiced writing well, that’s good.

She just wasn’t sure how many years had passed on Artie’s side after this Dragon Island level.

Remembering how traveling from the orphanage to Dragon Island turned Artie from a loli into a young girl, the homebody witch worried the next wave might directly grow her into an adult woman.
