Chapter 72

Third-Person POV.

A succubus and two witches against one witch.

Usually, the numbers alone would be enough to predict the winner, three against one, it was hardly a fair fight. However, if one were to take off their rose tinted glasses, it became apparent that the odds weren't always in the number's favour. Three against one, and yet it's three mentally drained women against one mad woman.

A newly turned succubus who still hasn't mastered her powers was considered to be the weakest link. As fragile as she was when she was a hybrid, her knowledge of her kind as a succubus wasn't adequate enough to help her win against a hand on hand combat with the dark witch. Furthermore, the fact that she was facing another one of her traumas, the woman behind her past hatred of witches, was another factor that needed to be taken into consideration. Arguably, it would have been better had this succubus stayed behind, but she didn't want to, of course she didn't. Where her mates went, she went. It was a stark contrast to how she acted before, it was a sign that the woman had truly changed, and that her heart knew where she had to be. Thus, although deep inside, she knew she wouldn't be much help, she stayed anyways. She'll do her best to help, she'll do her best to assist the two, she'll do her best, like she always did.

An experienced queen, a witch of goodness and nature, a true follower of the Moon Goddess. It's widely known all over the world that she's the strongest witch of the present. Sure there were past witches that were much stronger than her, but those women were dead, and a dead woman was as good as a shattered plate, useless. However, even with the extravagant title plastered all over her name, she was a witch of fairness, a woman who played by the rules, something the dark witch greatly opposed. Although her knowledge of dark magic was evidently more reliable than her little sister's, she had never experienced fighting against such magic before. She knew what to expect, yes, but she did not know how to react, not yet. She was walking into this battlefield with armour all over her body, but not over her most delicate area, her mind. All of her worries, all of her problems, she had to throw them away this instant, lest she wanted to be defeated so easily.

Finally, the last of the three mentally drained women, the deranged princess, or at least, she was slowly turning insane. Her mind was supposed to be her strongest weapon, but how was she supposed to fight when she kept arguing with herself over and over again? Her own voice kept telling her to kill and kill and kill and never stop, meanwhile her own voice was also telling her to protect her mate and sister, instead of killing the source of her pain. She didn't exactly understand which voice was actually hers, but she didn't care to find out either. For her eyes were trained on Madrona and Madrona only. Even the voices in her head began to cease. Soon, she wouldn't recognize herself anymore, but she would deal with that problem later. For now, she wanted to show the world what a fight between a dark witch and another dark witch would look like.

Or rather, what a fight between a master of dark magic and a dumb little princess would look like... After all, Willow only learned one dark spell. One. How much did Madrona learn? Unknown, but evidently more than one.

Truly, the odds were in the opponent's favour.

"Now... I don't like getting my hands bloody-" A lie. The dark witch always loved it when her hands were tainted with blood, especially if it were the blood of her victims. "So perhaps I'll give you three sheeps a chance! Either give me the kingdom and the princess or die! It's that easy!"

Willow, finding her words amusing, threw her head back and laughed loudly, "Ha! What an arrogant attitude! I could just step on your face over and over again!"

Noticing the obvious change in Willow's attitude, Madrona smirked as her eyes wandered over to the stoic queen who stood behind the princess. "Mhm, sounds like someone failed to do their duty."
