"Hey. Where are the two girls?"
It didn't fit the situation. My relaxed and carefree nature, and the fact that I ignored such a big issue in front of us and focused on something so small.
But then again, only I knew what my situation was.
"Huh?" the old witch turned at me in slight bafflement. Her eyes seemed confused a little before she looked back at the incoming waves of the monsters that were about to reach us.
"Run-" Rosalyn shouted, but her face made it clear that she knew that it was already too late.
I looked at the monster that had almost reached me, and I took a slight sigh before…
[Mana Surge!]
[Light Chains (Advanced)!]
[Effect: Allows the user to create Chains of Light that binds evil forces and does continuous light damage!!

A thousand chains appeared from the ground, before binding all the monsters as far as the eyes can see within a second.

And then a dark hue spread across the area, controlling the weakened monsters as we watched the scene unfold.
The monsters that were coming towards us were now turning around and moving to attack the newer monsters that were coming out of the dimensional gate.
[You have killed a Lvl 121 Nightmare Monster!]
[You have killed a Lvl 109 Curse Demon!]
[You have killed a Lvl 93 Giant Centipede!]
.
.
[You have Leveled up!]
[You have Leveled up!]
.
.
A few monsters were in the air were still coming towards us as they were missed by the light chains.
"Eyesore," I muttered in a slightly irritating voice as I looked at the sky before.
[Light Arrows!]
[Light Arrow(Rare)!]
[Effect:
-Allows the User to Shoot Multiple Arrows of Light! (Radius: Mana cost increases by 1% for every meter)
-Each Successive Arrow will have an added 2.5% damage
Cost: 500MP/ Arrow!]
Thousands of arrows appeared in the sky before piercing those flying monsters down to the ground.
So, do I have enough power to kill everything around? I mean, I kinda do… but not without the cost of my life.
What I did was similar to what I did, fighting against the Goddess and the Witch Queen. To use more mana than my body can handle at the same time.
The reason? Well, I would have been crushed by the horde pretty easily. Those monsters aren't your average monster, you know?
Even if I were to escape, there was no meaning, since everything that I was concerned with was in the city right now.
'So for these 30 seconds… I should try to get at least some information,' I thought as I looked at the witches observing me with bedazzlement. Their eyes were wide open as if they were looking at a god or something.
'But… rather than asking them… it would be better to ask…'
I then looked up at the sky as I spoke,
"Alepsia. Valencia. Can you both come down? Also, bring Zora and Freya down as well. That's enough of watching, you guys… time to get to work."
I clapped my hands as I called them down.
'I wonder if this will work?'
I would be making a fool out of myself if they didn't come through. Peeking back, I saw the others looking at me with an even more ridiculous expression.
"You really amaze me every time," I heard a familiar voice from behind as I looked at Alepsia smiling at me.
Beside her was Valencia, standing there, her eyes trying to read me.
"How did you know?… just exactly what are you?" Valencia asked directly.
But I was more interested in the two women behind them, whose eyes were piercing my entire being. I felt like they would tear me apart if they had enough guts to do it.
"Queen… Zora?!!" the white-haired witch got on her knees, and so did the other witches as they saw the Queen witch in front of them.
20 seconds left before [Mana surge] is over.
I could see the witches shaking, both in fear and excitement, as they kneeled on the ground.
"What do you need us to do?" Alepsia asked as she looked at the monsters fighting among themselves even now.
"Zora," I turned to the Queen Witch before I pointed at the black dome from which the monsters were coming out,
"If you show me how to tear apart that dome into pieces, I will tell you the location of the twin dragons you are looking for."
Enough information and the power to stand up. And you might even have Gods begging to make a deal with you.
My eyes gazed at her, while a mysterious smile formed on my face. It's always lovely when people make that baffled expression that Zora was making right now.
"Twin Dragons?" Freya seemed to be a bit confused about what was going on.
And I smile a little before adding,
"Just a chapter of history that she has been trying to revisit."
[You have Leveled up!]
[You have killed a Lvl 147 Berserk Basilisk!]
[You have killed a Lvl 134 Gray Demon!]
The messages kept ringing in my ears as I stood there multitasking. Killing all the monsters, while casually chatting with the Goddesses.
There were only 12 seconds left till the [Mana Surge] was over and I would die again.
"[Wheel of Colors: Present me the Fortune of White!]" Zora chanted in an immediate fashion as she looked at the dome.
Zora had white eyes similar to that of a pearl being reflected against the sunlight. And so was her hair that reached to her ankle and a bit below.
Wearing a silky white one-piece dress, she looked quite cute. All the more, when her face looked a bit immature despite her age.
Her body proportions were good and from the looks itself, she looked no more than 20 to me. Though, according to legends, she is pretty much over 100 already.
'Seeing it from the front is really different from the videos,' I thought as I looked at the giant wheel forming in the air.
Although I know almost everything about her, I never had met her before in my two lives. That was because, by the time I reached the point of competing with the high players, she was already dead.
Yeah, Zora was the first of the Godly characters in this game to die in the War of the Gods. But that is something that is not going to happen this time, though.
'After all, I am going to need her for a couple of wars that I am going to start on my own,' I thought as I recalled of a certain female player that always followed Zora.
[Player Nightingale], one of the top 100 female players, that followed Zora until her death. And became the next queen of witches, becoming the top 10 players in Zarraf. It was because of her that the player world knew about Zora so much.
Back to the present, I saw Zora looking at the giant wheel in front of her while her white eyes shined a bit golden and the mana began condensing in circles around her.
"If you lie, then I will use this spell on you next," she glared at me before continuing back at her spell.
The giant wheel started rotating at a high speed, as the mana began flowing into it, and little by little, the time itself seemed to slow down.
"[A Twist in time]" she chanted in an immediate fashion and then… the time paused.
'Hmmm… I can't even move my fingers, huh?' I thought as I noticed that the others were pretty much the same as well. Despite being so powerful, even the Goddesses were not able to take a single step.
And then something happened.
A white light… or more like a bright flash occurred, that stayed for more than a few seconds. I wondered what kind of spell she was using?
And soon, the colors returned, showing us the world in front of us. Everything was pretty much the same… except there was no black dome, black mana, or anything at all.
In fact… the forest which was destroyed by the monsters a few moments ago… was as greener as ever.
'I can't sense the dark mages,' I realized that their presence was gone completely.
"Now that I have done that… Tell me. Where are the Twin Dragons?" Zora asked with an intense gaze. Her eyes pierced my entire being.
But it was a bit late by now…
After all, the duration of the [Mana Surge] was over.
-BOOOM!!!
[You have died!]
[Game Over!]
[Restarting from previous save point!]
