# Chapter 39: Light Witch
The golden sun flame rushed toward him. Su Xiao dodged and hid behind a wall.
The flame was blocked by the wall, which began to melt like a candle. Sensing this, Su Xiao quickly rushed toward the second floor.
With a leap, Su Xiao jumped into the second floor as the golden flame behind him slowly dissipated.
Kai in the second floor saw the golden flame and began trembling with anger.
"Morisha, you heartless beast!"
Kai roared, and various metal needles scattered in all directions. Different metals had different properties in Kai's hands—some carried high temperature, some carried poison.
Amu was forced back a few steps. Su Xiao slashed several times, cutting down the incoming metal needles.
The teeth in Kai's mouth turned metallic, becoming sharp fangs.
Crack, crack...
Kai bit off her own left arm in a few bites and threw the severed limb toward the entrance to the third floor.
"Bitch, take it back."
Leaving these words, dozens more metal needles flew from Kai's sleeve. Taking advantage of the needles scattering around, she rushed to the second-floor entrance and quickly ran downstairs.
Was Kai escaping? No. She was heartbroken by Witch Queen Morisha. After returning an arm to her, she cut ties with the West Port Witch faction.
It must be said that the young girl Kai had some tomboy spirit. Melody had once shown her kindness, so she saved Melody's life from Morisha's hands. As for the debt of gratitude to West Port and Morisha, she had been guarding here for so long that no one could say anything. Kai could have withdrawn long ago, but she didn't want to—that would go against her sense of righteousness.
Clearly, Witch Queen Morisha had done something utterly heartless, so Kai left in anger, even biting off her own arm.
"Um, thank you for coming to save me."
Melody's voice came through. She herself hadn't expected to survive, having thought she was doomed.
Su Xiao cut the shackles on Melody's hands and took out a bottle of [Honor Vitality Potion (Third Rank)] to drink. This thing could quickly restore 100% health and mana, essentially a resurrection in place.
"Use the fastest way you can to explain the current situation."
"Uh, okay. Witch Queen Morisha used her subordinates' lives to buy time and activated the Sunlight Conversion Crystal. She came to the second floor earlier and, unfortunately, happened to see you kill three fourth-stage black witches in three slashes. Then she said something to Kai and went upstairs again. At that time, Kai had already guessed, but that child's personality is to repay kindness. Morisha exploited that weakness in her character.
Unfortunately, until over 99% of the witches had died in battle, Morisha didn't show herself. That's what chilled Kai's heart. Morisha once blocked a witch hunter's arrow for Kai, saving her left arm. Now she returned that arm to Morisha."
Saying this, Melody took a few breaths and continued: "By the way, as your collaborator, I didn't betray you. Falling into Morisha's hands meant death either way, so I took a gamble. Besides, with Kai's personality, if I had betrayed you, she would have killed me without hesitation afterward."
Through Melody's brief account, Su Xiao understood the situation on the upper floors of the castle.
"We should escape quickly. Morisha, who has activated the Sunlight Conversion Crystal, is almost invincible."
"I see."
Su Xiao stretched his muscles and walked toward the third floor. Amu, Bubu Wang, and the Hunter followed closely behind.
"Not again~"
Melody wailed. She knew Su Xiao was going to deal with Morisha.
If Su Xiao escaped West Port now, the witches he had killed would only earn him reputation with the Holy Healing Church. The consumption of necromancy summoning tokens, potions, ammunition, etc., would be a huge loss—nearly a million Paradise Coins in the red.
Either go up and fight Morisha to the death, or suffer a million Paradise Coin loss. Between the two, Su Xiao naturally chose the former. His current strength came not from talent or luck, but from daring to fight enemies with his life on the line.
Su Xiao went up, and Bubu Wang and Amu would never retreat. The group quickly rushed to the third floor.
The third floor had just been burned by sun flame, making it almost an oxygen-free environment. Flames spouted from the gaps in the windows—a combustion reaction from oxygen being sucked in.
Su Xiao held his breath. Using an oxygen tank now would be like placing a bomb in front of him.
Tap, tap, tap...
Footsteps came from above. It was a woman in a golden robe with flowing golden hair. Her hair moved without wind, like a burning flame.
"Witch Hunter, I should thank you."
Witch Queen Morisha descended the stairs gracefully, holding a golden energy longsword with five golden orbs floating around her.
The golden energy longsword in Morisha's hand was at least 1.3 meters long. It actually looked more like a rapier, though the blade near the hilt was wider.
Oxygen quickly flowed in through the gaps in the windows. Soon, the temperature in the third floor dropped significantly. Except for the outer walls, everything inside had been burned away.
The Apostle's Eye floated beside Su Xiao, scanning Morisha's attributes.

...
After reviewing Morisha's attributes, Su Xiao's cheek twitched. From his expression, one could tell how much pressure Morisha gave him. Or rather, Morisha was no longer a true witch in the real sense—she had ascended to a higher level of life form.
