"What the hell is this?" After days of being missing, our treacherous witch was back. At this moment, she was in the Demi-Human Kingdom in Nightsphere. Let's just say the magic Alice cast on her daughter was anything but conventional. It had a self-regenerating system; whenever Morgana managed to break it, it created cycles that kept the magic functioning indefinitely.
"Two days flying! Two days! And when I come back... What the hell is this!" Morgana shouted loudly, catching the attention of all the demi-humans who were slaying demons. "Hey, you! Explain what's going on here?!" she demanded from the beast warriors fighting the tide of demons.
"Shut up, you bitch! We're busy!" one of the fighters, who had bandages on his arm and practiced martial arts, said without even realizing who he was talking to. A vein of anger popped on her forehead as she closed her eyes, trying to control herself. But Morgana was never known for self-control. She opened her golden eyes with a neutral expression and looked at the demi-human who continued to fight.
"Bitch is your mother," she said, raising her hand and pulling the man with her magic.
"Huh?! Let me go, you crazy bitch!!" he screamed, thrashing in the air. "The bitch here won't follow your orders," she said with a dark look, while the others witnessing the scene turned to understand what was happening. "I'm a bitch, am I?" Morgana questioned, her seriousness evident. "And you're fireworks." She commented and clenched her fist.
The dog demi-human's body began to be squeezed and compacted by an invisible aura. "S-Stop! Someone help me!" he screamed in despair, feeling his body being slowly crushed, the air escaping from his lungs, and the pressure increasing every second.
"Help! Someone help me!" the fighter gasped, his desperate voice cutting through the chaos of battle. But no one dared to move. Morgana's eyes glowed with a golden fury, and the other warriors quickly realized the mistake their companion made by addressing her so disrespectfully.
"Help me, you cowards!" he shouted again, but his plea fell on deaf ears. Every fighter around him knew that intervening meant facing the same fate, and no one was willing to challenge Morgana's wrath.
Morgana, with a cold expression, watched the demi-human fighter squirm in the air, compressed by her magic. "Your body will explode," she murmured, the coldness in her voice chilling, "And don't worry, I'll let you shine... for a moment in the skies."
With a flick of her fingers, she intensified the pressure, and the fighter's body began to glow intensely, as if about to ignite from within. A blinding explosion of light filled the air, followed by a deafening boom as the fighter's body shattered into glittering particles and blood, catching everyone's attention.
KABOOM
The man's remains flew everywhere as the others stood uncertain of what to do. First, they had hordes and hordes of demons to deal with, and now this woman? Well, it seems that ten years away made people forget who they were facing.
Morgana sighed, annoyed, the tension in her shoulders easing a bit as she let the magic dissipate. "Now," she said, with a tone that made it clear she would not tolerate any more disrespect, "Can someone who isn't an idiot explain what's going on here?" Her eyes were golden, but for a second, they almost turned red with fury.
Gradually... "She's the Queen Witch's Daughter," one of the bull-warriors said, and everyone froze, seemingly having forgotten that a battle was happening.
Suddenly, as they were staring at Morgana, a red blur slashed through the demons in a wave of death and carnage, quickly killing all the demons. In the next moment, the blur stopped in front of the demons, revealing a Red Cheetah.
"Morgana." The Cheetah growled, but Morgana was not intimidated and just looked at her for a split second before identifying who she was... "Katarina," Morgana said, looking into her eyes, and calmly the Cheetah transformed into a red-haired woman with cat ears and very sexy leather clothes.
"You've grown quite a bit, looking like a bitch," Morgana said, clearly unhappy with the previous disrespect. "I'm sure you've already had your revenge; now why are you here?" Katarina questioned. She wasn't playful when it came to strong individuals in front of her; on the contrary, she was in a bad situation, and Morgana was already irritated.
She couldn't afford another battle beyond the Demon Tree in front of her.
"I asked for information about what was happening, but your idiot soldiers failed to even recognize an important person like me. Imagine if it were my mother. She would have wiped them all out." Hearing these words, a vein popped on Katarina's forehead. She sensed honesty in Morgana's voice and turned to her soldiers... "Hey, you idiots. When you don't know who you're talking to, ask?!
Stop being irrational animals! You almost caused a war with the Witch Kingdom! Just because she was sealed away for ten years doesn't mean she's not an important person!" Katarina yelled at them, who were frightened...
"Ten years..." one of them murmured. "Morgana Arcano." they thought, it seemed their brains were finally working correctly.
"Morgana Scarlet," Morgana said, drawing everyone's attention. "You're lucky today... If my husband were here, you'd have lost this kingdom," Morgana said with a mischievous look, making Katarina slightly interested. "Has he gotten that strong?" she questioned, her eyes clearly shining with anticipation... She had wanted to fight him for many years, but unfortunately, the idiot had died.
"Definitely stronger than you," Morgana said, clearly mocking.
"Oh, really? Maybe I should pay him a visit," Katarina said, sharing the mischievous smile. "Yes, yes, go after him, but know that you'll never return to this kingdom," Morgana said, gradually understanding what Dante was doing. That damned man was almost conquering the world by simply taking the best women for himself, and by "best," she meant Empresses and Heiresses.
"Oh, don't worry about that... I already said he was mine... But he died, I need to punish him," Katarina said, her smile overly confident for someone standing in front of the wife of the man she claimed she would punish. "You're quite bold, aren't you?" Morgana asked while staring at Katarina.
"Let's leave that for later, let's talk about that," Katarina said, pointing to the 40-meter-tall tree. "We don't know what it is, only that it's generating a lot of energy and spewing these disgusting things into the world," she said, pointing at the demons...
"I understand..." Morgana murmured. "Well, I'll take care of it." Morgana said, raising her hand and summoning a magical circle the size of the city above the tree. "I'd recommend you move away," she said with a wicked smile on her face, and all the demi-humans started running.
"What the hell is that!" Boris, who was approaching, saw Morgana, just like Aren, who was holding his staff while getting closer... "Arcano..." Boris murmured, "what are you doing here?" he wondered...
"Well, I love chaos." Morgana said, "Ryujin!" she shouted, and a gigantic purple lightning bolt descended from the skies.
The lightning struck with the force of a deity, hitting the demon tree with an impact that shook the entire surrounding earth. Energy spread in waves, shattering the tree and vaporizing the demons around it in an explosion of unimaginable arcane power.
The tree, previously a robust abomination, began to disintegrate, its structure collapsing and turning to ashes under Morgana's overwhelming magic.
"That's... her power..." Aren murmured, observing the devastation with a shocked expression... They had been fighting for hours against it and had not even come close to such destruction...
"Ryujin!" Morgana shouted again, her power now converging around her like a storm. The sky seemed to bend under the force of her magic, thunder echoing like war drums as lightning spiraled in purple around the collapsing structure.
"Again..." Aren saw, not knowing what was happening... "How does this woman have so much mana? Just one of these would leave me in a coma for months!" she shouted, even Katarina was frightened this time.
"Everyone, get back!" Boris shouted, pulling the remaining warriors out of the path of destruction. The shockwave from Morgana's magic reverberated through the earth, turning the terrain into a smoldering crater where the tree had once stood. The demons still emerging were incinerated in mid-air, their essences dissipating like dust in the magical storm.
"Hm... it didn't completely erase it..." Morgana murmured, "Well, whatever." she said, raising her hands...
"She's going to do it again..." Aren said, almost disbelieving what she was seeing...
"Ryujin!" Morgana shouted for the last time, and a concentrated lightning bolt descended directly onto the tree, focused solely on it... She lowered her hands, breathing softly as if nothing had happened. "Problem solved," she declared with a confident smile on her face, turning to face Katarina and the stunned warriors around her.
"I need to train more... I should have finished it in one blow." Only ashes remained.
