Otaku Witch

Now the pressure was on senior Fanny's side.

The senior with long black straight hair glanced at the title on Dorothy's displayed Identity Card, the eye-catching Second-Generation Demon King title indeed drew attention.

And since the information on the Identity Card couldn't be altered by the individual, only the All-Seeing Eye had the power to edit it. Therefore, since the seemingly joke-like title was truly registered on the Identity Card, this meant that the title was officially recognized and genuinely represented the will of the current Witch King.

However, senior Fanny didn't seem to care much about it, not even showing any sign of surprise at Dorothy's showdown.

So, awkwardness returned to Dorothy's side, the homebody witch just felt she had shown off her loneliness.

Ah, this is a bit embarrassing. Maybe I should just laugh it off like senior does.

She retracted her Identity Card sheepishly, intending to act as if nothing had happened, but her evident embarrassment seemed to make senior Fanny burst into laughter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hahaha, Dorothy, you didn't really think you had hidden your identity as the Second-Generation Demon King well, did you? Hahaha, I actually knew it the moment I first saw you."

The senior with long black straight hair explained while laughing.

"It seems you don't fully understand the effect of Demon King Teacher's blessing. Well, it's true that Demon King Teacher is quite the riddle herself."

"Dorothy, a talent like King's Qualification can't be hidden. It's a mark of a king, just like the Demon King's mark you now bear. Any strong being who has reached a certain level of power will sense the presence of that mark at first glance. It signifies you're under the protection of Demon King Teacher, and it's an amulet she has given you.

Anyone who wishes to harm you must consider whether they are willing to face the consequences of angering the Witch King."

"Sure, I could give you something similar, but since I haven't ascended to an upper-level rank yet, it certainly wouldn't be as effective as Demon King Teacher's blessing."

As senior Fanny said this, she reached out and patted the top of Dorothy's head. In the next moment, the homebody witch immediately felt a change within herself.

She looked down and pulled out her Identity Card for another glance, then fell silent.

[Rank: Great Witch (x) Second-Generation Demon King (√) Ruler of Ancient Days (√)]

......

[Ruler of Ancient Days (ssr): Your qualifications have been recognized by *****, and you have received her blessing. She allows you to share a part of her glory, and the entire Witch World will recognize your achievements and look forward to your future. Note: The further you travel on the Path of the Ruler of Ancient Days, the more glory you'll share.]

As the new title and its associated talent manifested, Dorothy suddenly felt a jolt of energy. The spiritual power drawn out by her lecture to the Eye of True Sight, which had yet to fully recover despite taking a Magic Potion, now recovered at a much faster rate.

She also couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but her already keen Inspiration felt even sharper, and she even had a vague grasp on the threshold of an ss level.

Ah, this... has my potential future just become even more promising?

Dorothy's emotions were mixed for a moment.

Damn it, senior, you've won this round of showing off; I am impressed.

Wuwuwu, it seems one can't win against those with higher privileges.

Just as Dorothy was about to get angry again, senior Fanny's voice rang out once more.

"Alright, Dorothy, no more messing around. I really don't have much time, and you shouldn't underestimate yourself. You know, Demon King Teacher is someone with very selective taste. Even I have not received her recognition, let alone been given an evaluation like yours. It's clear she truly appreciates you. If it weren't for the Heavenly Mandate upon me, I would probably be far behind you."

With her eyes still closed, senior Fanny looked at Dorothy with the multitude of her familiars, their numerous eyes filled with admiration and respect.

"That's why I ultimately decided to choose you. Dorothy, you are a very special witch. Even I, who can plainly see through the river of Fate, find it hard to discern your future. But my intuition tells me that my hope of getting out of my predicament in advance lies with you."

"So, this is not a command or a trade, just a request. Will you help me, Dorothy?"

Senior Fanny, seemingly growing drowsier, mustered her Spirit, her tone even bearing a hint of humility.

Dorothy: "....."

The homebody witch fell silent and pondered for a moment before finally lifting her head.

"Senior, you're so cunning, making it sound like I still have a choice now. After learning such a significant secret, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for me to refuse, right?"

She felt a slight regret, thinking she shouldn't have stayed out of curiosity. She should have excused herself and run off immediately. Now look at her, guilty of knowing too much and entangled in trouble.

"Look at what you're saying, Dorothy. Do I, your senior, really seem that bad?"

Stay updated through empire

Across from her, senior Fanny expressed mock indignation as she pulled out a folding fan from somewhere and covered her mouth with it, her beautiful eyes still closed but curved into two crescent moons.

"At most, I would just wipe your memory of this recent event, and we would still be the best of friends," said the senior with long black straight hair.

It was just that Dorothy's enhanced Inspiration went crazy at the mention of the words 'good friend.'

Senior, please don't come any closer. I really can't afford such a 'good friend' as you.

The homebody witch screamed internally, but on the surface, she maintained a serious expression as she spoke.

"Then at least I need to know the reason behind your actions, senior."

"Of course, I will tell you everything," senior Fanny replied as she closed her folding fan and clapped her hands with it, her voice tinged with a hint of delight. She knew her friend across from her had half agreed already.

"Dorothy, you know the difference between the Path of Omniscience and the Path of Omnipotence, right?"

Instead of answering directly, she posed this question.

"Senior, such nonsense is just a waste of time, come on now," Dorothy said, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Then do you know which Path the Three Kings have taken?" asked the senior with long black straight hair again.

"Of course, it's..."

Dorothy began to answer instinctively, but as the words reached her lips, she was suddenly at a loss for words.

Ah, this question indeed touches upon a gap in my knowledge. Logically, big shots like the Three Kings must have chosen the Path of Omnipotence, right? But then again, it seems like they all followed the Path of Omniscience. Could they be walking both paths?

...The little witch fell into deep thought...
