Otaku Witch-Chapter 483 - 401. The Terror of Fate_2

"Those strings must be the legendary Threads of Fate; the folks at the School of Prophecy divine and observe Fate by watching the changes in these Threads. But what are those halos? They seem to be another manifestation of Fate, hiss... Could it be the Observing Qi Technique spoken of by the Immortals of the Eastern Universe? My goodness, could Senior Sister even know this?"

Audrey thought in amazement.

However, as someone only superficially familiar with the School of Prophecy, even with the perspective of a Fate Observer, Little Fox couldn't actually make heads or tails of it. After all, interpreting the changes in the Threads or Aura of Fate required specialized knowledge, of which she had none.

Fortunately, Senior Sister had taken this into account, so she marked the Fate Characters on both of them. The rows of text were like game IDs, hovering above their heads.

Audrey first looked toward the president, for a raft of text was floating above her head.

[Dragon Slayer][Bearer of the Flame][Invincible in Battle][Blessed by Fate][Blessing of the Light].....

[Dragon Slayer: As one destined to be the bane of Dragon-types, you deal significantly increased damage to Dragon Attribute enemies, and the damage they inflict on you is reduced.]

[Bearer of the Flame: As a favoured one of fire, all fire damage you sustain is greatly reduced.]

[Invincible in Battle: As one who is always victorious, victory favours you.]

[Blessed by Fate, as Fortune's darling, your luck will increase substantially, and your enemies will suffer misfortune.]

[Blessing of the Light: As an ally of the Light, bathed in sunshine, your Attributes increase significantly.]

...

A plethora of large and small, bizarre and peculiar Destiny Patterns left Audrey dumbfounded. After racking her brain for a long time, she could only think of two words to describe the president's terror: "overpowered."

Each of these Destiny Patterns was nearly as potent as a witch's innate Talent or specialty. With so many Destiny Patterns boosting her, what chance did anyone else have?

At this moment, Little Fox finally realized why Senior Sister said the outcome was already decided. And when she skeptically checked Senior Mia's halo, she was even more speechless.

[Enemy of the Gods][Omen of Death Shining Bright][Under the Influence of the Great Duke][Evil Dragon][Loss of Wealth (nullified by the Golden Rule, crossed out)]....

[Enemy of the Gods: As an enemy of the Gods, you are spurned by Fate and your luck is diminished.]

[Omen of Death Shining Bright: Your star of death shines high; your life is short, and the probability of instant death is greatly increased.]

[Under the Influence of the Great Duke: You have provoked a being you shouldn't have, and imminent disaster is certain, with all things going awry.]

[Evil Dragon: As an Evil Dragon, one day you will be vanquished by a righteous Dragon Slayer. When attacked by one with the Dragon Slayer Destiny Pattern, you suffer increased damage.]

....

My goodness, it was a collection of negative Destiny Patterns, and as Senior Mia's luck continued to darken, all sorts of disastrous Fates kept getting added.

Audrey had no doubt that if things continued this way, there might be no need for the president to take action; Sister Mia might simply slip and die on the spot from a fall.

Although the idea of a Great Witch dying from a fall on the spot was absurd, with Destiny Patterns this sinister, even the most unluckily reasoned was plausible.

"So, do you now understand the terror of the Power of Fate?"

Watching Little Fox's sudden realization, Dorothy asked with a smile.

```

"Mmm, that's terrifying. I'll definitely keep my distance from any witch from the School of Prophecy in the future,"

Audrey closed her eyes, no longer daring to witness what fate would befall Senior Mia. Little Fox said this with a face full of fear.

"That's not really necessary, as not all witches from the School of Prophecy can do this. From what I know, normally, to alter the destiny pattern of a powerful witch is a very difficult thing. I have no idea how Sophia managed to do it so effortlessly; she must have some special talent or specialty."

Dorothy, too, looked curiously at her roommate in the Arena, who stood with her back against the Sun, wings unfurled like a deity, her eyes filled with confusion.

The books she had read in the past from the School of Prophecy stated that changing another's destiny pattern was difficult and required the changer to pay a certain price. The more significant the change, the greater the price. After all, the backlash of fate is not a joke.

Therefore, it's common to hear stories about seers and fortune tellers who tried to defy fate and change it for others, only to end up killing or crippling themselves.

Moreover, strong individuals generally have very stable destiny patterns, because without that providence, you wouldn't be able to become strong in the first place. Those who become stronger are blessed by the heavens, making it even more difficult to alter their destiny patterns. You must have a higher destiny pattern than the other person to succeed.

In short, changing someone's fate is difficult, and now Sophia is treating Senior Mia's destiny pattern like a toy, casually changing it. That's ridiculous.

Not to mention she easily added a whole bunch of impressive-looking destiny patterns to herself. Is altering fate this easy?

For a moment, Dorothy even doubted whether the books she had read from the School of Prophecy were all written incorrectly or exaggerated.

But she quickly shook her head, dismissing such a thought.

No matter how you look at it, the problem must be with Sophia, right? Otherwise, the School of Prophecy would be too overpowering and would disrupt the balance.

Keep in mind that even with all the restrictions on changing fate, the School of Prophecy is already one of the most powerful among the Nine Major Schools. It's a recognized powerhouse Faction. If everyone were as bug-like as the Pure White Witch, then why would anyone else even bother? Might as well just lie down and give up.

Dorothy remembered the Lord of Glory, the mighty King of Angels whose domain was fate itself. She had almost become the spokesperson for destiny, her every action and word imbued with divine authority, approaching the realm of deities.

As the daughter of the Lord of Glory, Sophia was indeed the legitimate Lady of Fate. She might have inherited some authority over fate, which could explain why she could alter fate so easily.

While the Homebody Witch was pondering this, the duel in the Arena below had indeed been decided.

Even if we're just talking about sheer destructive power, Senior Mia could thrash Sophia. However, the invisible and intangible restraints of the power of fate left her helpless.

Even when Senior Mia realized that her scalding Dragon Breath caused limited damage to Sophia, knowing that the opponent might have a way to avoid the flames, she immediately changed her scalding breath to an icy one. Still, it was all in vain.

Dorothy turned to see the Pure White Witch's destiny pattern for [Bearer of the Flame] switch to [Child of the Polar]. Now her injury from freezing was greatly reduced.

Senior Mia gave up on her breath attack and started using those alchemy-crafted metal weapons, but then Sophia switched to the [Cease War] destiny pattern, significantly reducing the threat from bladed weapons.

And when the Golden Princess had tried all kinds of methods and, in a fit of rage, started close combat brawling, it turns out both of their combat magics came from the same mentor. After half a day of fighting, they realized neither could break through the other's defenses. However, Sophia's various destiny patterns kept getting stronger while Senior Mia repeatedly made mistakes, as if cursed with bad luck.

Finally, Sophia cast an Instant Death Curse, and just as Senior Mia attempted to cast a defensive spell, an unlucky casting failure occurred, and she was hit directly.

This normally wouldn't be a big deal, since even without a defensive magic spell, Senior Mia had her Legendary Robe, and as the Dragon Witch, she naturally possessed high magic resistance. Besides, the Pure White Witch's instant death magic wasn't some high-order magic but a mere low-level three-ring spell, which was very unlikely to succeed. Even mortals with a bit of luck might survive it, let alone a witch.

But when fate decrees your death, you cannot escape. Bearing the omen of death, Senior Mia fell victim to this low-level magic spell, dying with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

In short, Senior Mia suffered a terrible fate.

... Helpless fury of the wealthy ...
