Rushing to finish before Christmas, third update xd

"Magic Shooter, five dark arrows!"

Yewen threw a small bottle, shooting magic arrows made of magic power at the door. Levi didn't expect her to attack immediately, and he stood there in a daze. Fortunately, the five dark magic arrows weren't aimed at him; otherwise, even if he wasn't seriously injured, he would have been covered in dirt.

The girl behind Levi was clearly more alert than he was, who had been out of practice for a long time.

She had been on guard since the wooden door was broken. Seeing Yewen's magic, she immediately reacted.

However, her method of response was unexpected by Yewen, who had initiated the attack.

The girl extended her right hand, which changed shape mid-air, instantly transforming into a metal shield, easily deflecting Yewen's magic.

"Transformation? So you have this strange ability. No wonder you dared to come and cause trouble. But don't think that this level is enough to challenge a True Ancestor!"

Although her magic power was completely sealed, Yewen showed no sign of fear.

She had thought the oddly dressed girl was just Levi's student, so she only used a small bottle of magic potion, and the target wasn't the girl's body. Even if the girl hadn't used her transformation ability to block, the five magic arrows would have just grazed her hair.

Realizing that the opponent was not the weak high school girl she had expected, Yewen's lips curled into an excited smile.

"Freeze! Disarm!"

With the experience from before, this time Yewen threw two bottles of magic potion. The bone-chilling cold directly targeted the girl's body, and the overwhelming attack range made it impossible for her to block everything. The black clothes and the long robe on her back were instantly covered in thick ice.

Crack.

As Yewen's voice faded, the thin ice shards, like withered crystals, lightly shattered in the early autumn evening breeze, which had not yet completely dissipated.

However, today did not seem to be the vampires' lucky day. Yewen thought that disarming the girl would make her retreat. But when the ice shards and mist were blown away, the girl's clothes and the shield formed by her right hand were still intact. Yewen's magic seemed to have only cleaned the dust off her clothes.

"Chachamaru!"

Seeing that the girl's actions were not hindered and she immediately charged towards her, Yewen hurriedly called her most trusted servant.

"Yes, Master."

As the voice echoed from inside the room, Chachamaru had already appeared between the two girls, displaying a speed and strength that was jaw-dropping, even though she usually only handled household chores.

Chachamaru easily held back the giant hammer formed by the black-clothed girl's golden hair with one hand. Taking advantage of the girl's confusion at the sudden appearance of a new opponent, Chachamaru grabbed the edges of the hammer with both hands, spun it in the air, and threw the girl far into the woods.

"Hmph, did no one tell you that I have the title of 'Puppet Master'? To attack a magician, you must first defeat the servant. Remember this basic common sense!"

Yewen puffed out her flat chest and laughed heartily. Controlling puppets for protection and assistance was Yewen's habitual way of fighting, especially since Chachamaru was her puppet. If not for the seal on her magic power, she wouldn't need mechanical assistance. What looked like an unfair two-on-one battle was, in Yewen's eyes, just the use of a slightly special weapon.

Just as Yewen was feeling smug, a shadow that had completely hidden in the darkness, even unnoticed by Levi, circled around Chachamaru and charged at Yewen from the side.

"Wait..."

By the time Levi noticed the danger, a cold blade of light suddenly attacked Yewen. The distance was too close for him to stop it in time!

The blade sliced through the night sky but suddenly seemed to be held back by an invisible hand, stopping just a few centimeters from Yewen. Seeing this, Levi, drenched in cold sweat, finally realized his carelessness. Despite experiencing an unimaginable number of battles, he still couldn't match Yewen, who had lived in constant enmity and danger. In that moment, Levi felt a renewed sympathy for the vampire. How many trials must she have endured to always maintain such calm and caution?

Indeed, the attacker was the black-clothed girl who had been thrown into the woods by Chachamaru. Her perfect ambush, which even deceived Levi, was foiled by the seemingly arrogant Yewen.

"An ambush? An ambush on me, a True Ancestor, under the moonlit night of a vampire? You're just an ordinary girl with some strange abilities. Do you really think you can ambush someone who has survived for hundreds of years on the brink of life and death? Too naive!"

How did the weakened vampire, who had lost all her magic power, break through the perfect concealment technique that even the highly perceptive Levi couldn't detect?

No, Yewen hadn't seen through the girl's movements. If you looked closely, you could see that Yewen's side, except for the direction of Levi and Chachamaru, was covered with fine, hair-like black steel wires. These spider-web-like wires tightly bound the black-clothed girl's body and the blade formed by her long hair.

Yewen had let Chachamaru take the lead to set up these dense defensive measures. Without her magic power, her greatest reliance, the magician had to make more preparations for her safety.

Especially since Yewen, with a bounty of six million dollars as the world's most wanted magician, still had many people who wanted to become famous or rich overnight, even outside the magic world.

How could a solitary vampire, who was never accustomed to trusting others, entrust her life entirely to the magic teachers of Mahora?

Vampires are synonymous with geniuses, and Yewen is at the pinnacle. During the time she lost her magic power, she had already honed her physical combat skills to a very high level. These almost invisible, silent threads were her carefully selected weapons.

"Alright, Yewen, calm down now? Let her go, and we'll go inside to explain everything clearly."

Levi finally found an opportunity to intervene, walking forward and pressing down on Yewen's hand, which was about to throw another magic potion, earning an angry glare. However, he could see that Yewen was now calm enough to listen to his explanation.

However, his servant did not accept his goodwill. Before Yewen could release the threads, the floating long hair had already transformed into dozens of blades, easily cutting through the threads made of the most advanced materials and technology.

Yewen huffed and turned to walk through the empty doorway.

The black-clothed girl ignored Levi's apologetic gaze and stepped into the small house she had messed up.

Levi sighed in frustration. His own servant had been attacked by someone on his side, not to mention the tangled misunderstandings between him and the girl. From her ruby-like eyes, Levi clearly read sadness.

Shaking his head to dispel the extra worries, he followed her into the house. Outside, Chachamaru, now back in her maid role, began to clean up the scattered wood chips.
