Fairy tale: Little Red Riding Hood's wolf mentor

“Huff…”

Poro took a deep breath, twisting his body in mid-air with the help of the Levitation spell.

The fierce wind stirred up by the gingerbread man's spear grazed his shoulder, severing a few strands of wolf hair—

Its momentum undiminished, slicing a thick hard candy pillar beside him in half!

Such strength is impossible for a human elite soldier of equal stature to possess!

These seemingly fairytale-like food guards.

In reality, each is fearless and immune to pain, and even ten times the number of human soldiers may not be able to match them.

“If I'm dragged down like this, it'll really be dangerous…”

A red light flashed in Poro's eyes as he stepped on a candy soldier—

Dodging the horizontally slashing candy knife.

“Bang!”

The next moment, the candy soldier's body tilted, unable to dodge, and was crushed by another chocolate giant!

Poro was able to dodge freely in such a siege due to his wolf's small size, combined with the flexibility granted by the "Dancer" energy, and the effect of the magic "Levitation".

But in reality, every leap is like dancing on the tip of a knife!

Although Poro's physical strength has the buff of the magic potion manifested by [Cyclical Regression: Candy House · Dessert Feast].

But with the strength of these food soldiers, as long as he is hit once.

Under the inertia of the force and the impact of the injury, Poro would be instantly overwhelmed by the attack!

The Gluttony Witch's power in the candy castle, even if Poro had greatly estimated it in advance, still carried an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Having read "The Magical Structure of the Candy House," Poro understood this even more.

If the Gluttony Witch no longer cared about losses, or… thought that Poro's power was enough to pose a huge threat to her.

She could even completely change the shape of the candy castle, turning the entire candy castle into a moving monster!

Of course, the cost of doing so would undoubtedly be huge.

This not only meant that the Gluttony Witch would have to reconstruct the candy castle after the battle, but the magic required to do so was even more unimaginable!

It can be said that it was her ultimate trump card!

“Are your soldiers only of this level?”

Poro said while dodging, already getting closer and closer to the window, although he was in constant danger.

“Heh, although I don't know what you are, but—you're so eager to die?”

Hearing this, the Gluttony Witch's face became even more livid.

Watching Poro dodge left and right under the attacks of those food soldiers, each attack seemed to be just a hair's breadth away.

Like a mosquito flying around her ear, but each wave of her hand barely missed.

The Gluttony Witch looked at the window behind the colorful candies.

She also saw Poro's purpose, and snorted coldly:

“I wonder if you'll still be able to say such things when you turn into a small snack and watch your limbs being gnawed on!”

The next moment, the floor under the Gluttony Witch's feet spun up again.

She quickly approached Poro, who was surrounded by food guards.

Of course, this move was not because she wanted to fight in close combat.

But… for the sake of vision.

Being closer to Poro allowed the Gluttony Witch to reduce the obstruction caused by the size of the food soldiers and micromanage the tentacles on the ground and the movements of the food soldiers through her line of sight.

Of course, such actions.

Mostly only appear in the Gluttony Witch's accelerated attacks on the "weak".

But now, for the Gluttony Witch who has been "developing" for so long.

It has been a long time since she has seen an existence that can be called "strong"!

Not to mention, Poro now, apart from the reversal incantation he had prepared at the beginning.

And the vine magic from the Scarlet Witch, which doesn't have much killing power… he hasn't shown any ability that can threaten the Gluttony Witch.

After all, if Poro really possessed magic that could kill at close range.

Why didn't he use it when he was pretending to be the Seventh Saint?

“What are you doing coming over here? Aren't you afraid that I'll break through those soldiers and kill you directly?”

Poro continued to provoke while dodging.

As the Gluttony Witch approached, Poro's dodging became even more dangerous, not only did the food soldiers around him move faster, but they also became more coordinated like humans!

There were no more actions like the previous "remaining force not dissipated, heavily striking teammates"!

“I just wonder, when your soul and memories are in my mouth, will you still have the courage to struggle so futilely!”

At a certain moment, a magical light flashed in the Gluttony Witch's eyes.

When Poro once again barely passed the chocolate giant's stomp, a sharp tip suddenly grew out of the giant's originally hard and smooth exterior!

In an instant, Poro was unable to dodge.

After the chocolate tentacles wrapped around Poro's legs, Poro's body stagnated, and he was hit by the spear swung from the other side, smashing heavily on the ground!

If not for the effect of the magic potion "Golden Armor Skin Potion", Poro would have been cut in two!

But even so, Poro felt a sweetness in his throat and still spat out a mouthful of blood.

He struggled to get up, but his body was surrounded by the sharp gingerbread spear tips, candy knife blades, and other weapons.

“Laughing? Still laughing? Still using your useless speed and crude magic to dodge?”

A smile finally appeared on the Gluttony Witch's face.

The food soldiers parted a small path, and the obese Gluttony Witch walked down from the raised marshmallow carpet, slowly walking towards Poro from the center of the food soldiers' ranks.

“A magical dog that I don’t even know where it came from? When I eat your soul and seize your memories, I’ll be able to find the identity of the person behind you.

If you dare to appear in my Fertile Plains, even angels will be eaten by me bite by bite like cookies!

If it's outside…

My Fertile Plains will one day devour this entire world!

At that time, all those who dare to defy me, your souls and flesh will wail on my tongue. I've tasted enough of those satisfying and grateful sweets.

I'd like to taste the spicy taste of pain, regret, and hatred like yours!”

While saying this, she passed through the layers of surrounded food soldiers.

The fat on her body trembled as she walked step by step towards Poro.

Just then, Poro, who couldn't move, suddenly looked up at the Gluttony Witch, his wolf mouth splitting open, revealing a mocking smile.

“Heh, you still dare to laugh!?”

Seeing this, the Gluttony Witch was furious, “These are all my guards, you are in my plains, my kingdom, my castle, do you still think—someone will come to save you?”

“Oh, is that so? That's really amazing!”

Poro nodded, his smile undiminished, looking at the Gluttony Witch standing among the soldiers not far away, a magical light flashing in his eyes, “But… are you sure these are ‘your’ guards?”

“What do you me—”

Hearing this, the Gluttony Witch's heart skipped a beat, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But it was too late.

After she opened her mouth, she realized that the view in front of her was beginning to spin.

Her voice was swallowed by the solemn air!

The three gingerbread guards behind her silently raised the gingerbread longswords in their hands when she saw Poro being subdued, relaxed her vigilance and walked forward, exposing her back.

And when their gingerbread longswords were raised in mid-air.

The seemingly chaotic patterns on them suddenly lit up—

This was the magic-breaking array carved by Leake, from the Kingdom of Boren!

The sword tip was raised to the highest point…

Then, towards the Gluttony Witch's body—it slashed down fiercely!

“Pah—”

The Gluttony Witch's shocked head rolled on the ground, bouncing once.

Then, the food soldiers surrounding Poro once again froze lifelessly, turning back into lifeless food sculptures.

Poro and Leake also made several gingerbread soldiers after learning the Gluttony Witch's magic.

Of course, they didn't改造 the existing ones.

Poro understood that all the food soldiers already in the candy castle were the Gluttony Witch's eyes and ears. Once one of them was destroyed, in a matter of seconds, the Gluttony Witch would be able to sense it.

Then, through the chocolate "Anywhere Door" that covered the entire castle, she would arrive at the place where the food soldier was destroyed!

As for the gingerbread soldiers, where did such things mixed with complex magic come from?

How could they be made in less than half a day of preparation time?

This is because…

It is also a kind of food.

Moreover, it did not exceed the implicit requirements of [Cyclical Regression: Candy House · Dessert Feast] for manifesting food.

That only required Poro to taste a part of the Gluttony Witch's gingerbread man's body.

He would then have the ability to create gingerbread men infinitely!

If it weren't for the fact that controlling gingerbread men required extremely strong magic and mental strength, with Poro's current ability and depth of food magic, he wouldn't be able to play such a… food disaster like the Gluttony Witch.

This castle would have been occupied by Poro's gingerbread soldiers long ago.

“Good job, soldiers!”

Poro restrained his smile, a red light flashing in his eyes, and easily broke free from the chocolate that was not controlled by the Gluttony Witch.

He did not stop, nor did he look at the Gluttony Witch's body that was chopped into three pieces. With successive leaps, Poro had already reached the colorful candy window.

He did not hesitate, smashing through the window and flying out—

At the same time, behind him, in the hall where the window was broken, the Gluttony Witch's body suddenly changed shape, melting like heated chocolate and blending into the ground.

Those food soldiers moved again.

In just a few seconds, the three gingerbread men made by Poro and Leake were hacked to pieces!

“I really… underestimated you!”

The Gluttony Witch's resentful voice sounded again quietly.

In the air, Poro somersaulted and landed gently.

Outside the window was a platform extending outward from the candy castle.

The tremors of the candy castle only stopped for a few seconds. After the Gluttony Witch's voice sounded, it became even more crazy!

Poro had just landed on the slender open-air platform when the platform formed by cream and chocolate instantly softened.

Both sides rose from the ground like waves—

Converging above Poro's head, obscuring the sky and forming a slender tubular shape.

In the distance, only a circular hole remained, still letting in faint daylight.

Behind him, pieces of colorful candy glass shattered from the inside out!

Gingerbread men, candy men, and other miscellaneous candy guards surged in like a deadly tsunami!

Poro ran towards the hole in the distance.

The dazzling light of the sky came head-on, and the brightness gradually increased as the distance decreased.

But… just when Poro was only a dozen meters away from the hole—

A rectangular black chocolate door panel suddenly rose at the end of the hole, obscuring most of the light.

“Creak—”

The door opened, and the Gluttony Witch's fat body squeezed out of it.

There was not a trace of injury on her body.

The only change was the inhuman face that was twisted to the extreme by anger!

“You really have some guts, you even… stole my magic!?”

Outside the hole behind the Gluttony Witch was the inner city of Sweet City. This open-air platform extending outward crossed the beverage moat.

As long as Poro jumped down from that hole, plus the effect of the magic "Levitation", he could easily leave.

But at this time, the Gluttony Witch's body was blocking it.

It was like an insurmountable mountain wall.

“You almost succeeded. No matter what the reason is that you can do it… to master my magic so quickly.

As long as your soul enters my mouth, all your memories will be digested by me!”

The Gluttony Witch continued to say, the chocolate wall beside her was wriggling.

She was not afraid of Poro getting close.

In the previous battle, she had seen Poro's upper limit of action—

Even if he tried his best to rush over, he would be torn apart by the hardened chocolate manipulated at close range in an instant.

“Yes, I also think I'm about to succeed.”

Poro stopped ten meters away, the chaotic footsteps of the food guards behind him were getting closer, "After all, this is already the outermost part of the castle, right?"

“But this is still within my domain!”

The Gluttony Witch sneered, “Let me tell you another secret… as long as I am still in my castle, I will never be hurt!”

But the despair and begging for mercy that the Gluttony Witch expected to see did not appear.

Poro tilted his head, not surprised at all, as if…

He had already guessed that the Gluttony Witch was not dead.

“In fact, I already know this secret you said.”

Poro suddenly said.

“You know?”

The Gluttony Witch's expression, which had just become somewhat complacent, darkened again. She felt that her threats seemed to hit cotton every time, "Knowing that, you still have the guts to face me? You should have tucked your tail between your legs and fled in fear before I even noticed!"

“Yes, I'm also very scared, but some things always have to be done.”

Poro said, squeezing out a smile again, revealing his white and neat wolf teeth, “Besides, since I know your secret in advance, how could I not prepare?”

“Prepare?”

A bad feeling surged in the Gluttony Witch's heart again, but she still didn't quite believe it, “Ridiculous, even if you really know, what preparations can you make?

"Then what do you think... what is the reason you're standing where you are right now?"

Poro spat out the orange-red spherical gem he had been holding in his mouth. Magic light shone within the gem. "The one truly standing on the edge of the cliff is you!"

In the next moment, the connection between the slender platform behind Poro and the castle was violently dented and torn apart from the outside!

The chocolate split, revealing white, pillar-like bone fingers!

Decades of seconds ago, having received Poro's order, the Giant Bone Guard leaped upwards from its crouching position, precisely gripping the center of the tower!

The tremor of the candy castle itself masked the giant's footsteps.

Until now, the castle's protruding tower was directly torn off by the giant—

The Gluttony Witch, her eyes blinded by resentment, disdain, and impatience, finally noticed the crisis that suddenly emerged from hiding!

"You did... wha—"

The Gluttony Witch screamed in astonishment and anger, like a chicken being strangled.

"Now, you are no longer in your castle."

Poro chuckled. He had already leaped backward as the giant began to tear, jumping towards a hole crushed by the giant!

The spear-like chocolate spikes, born from the walls and controlled by the Gluttony Witch, spiraled towards Poro.

But these spikes softened again before touching Poro's fur.

In fact, although Poro couldn't use the components of the castle as weapons like the Gluttony Witch,

Reaching the entry level was enough to defend against attacks close to his body!

The reason he hadn't used it before was just to weaken and lure the enemy.

"Despicable villain!"

The Gluttony Witch trembled with anger, but she had no time to care about the escaping Poro.

Being stripped from the candy castle along with the tower by the Bone Giant—

This meant that the resurrection spell she cast using the castle was no longer effective!

She no longer underestimated this... wolf from who knows where.

Now, her life was truly under substantial threat!

"When I return to my sanctuary... your actions will be meaningless!"

The Gluttony Witch said through gritted teeth. As a witch who had been immersed in magic for many years, she naturally had the means to fly!

The tower wreckage, wrapped and guarded by chocolate, instantly softened and flew out from between the giant's fingers—

At the top center of the chocolate-covered archway, the Gluttony Witch stared hatefully at the approaching castle walls again.

And the walls of the candy castle also bulged out of thin air under magical control, meeting the Gluttony Witch!

"Boom!"

The Bone Guard's other arm arrived with a bang at this moment.

"Heh, outwardly strong but inwardly weak, no matter how big, it's just fragile food!"

The Gluttony Witch snorted angrily, turned her head towards the giant bone palm, and glared.

In the next moment, the Giant Bone Guard's palm began to change rapidly from the fingertips, turning into another... strange milky white color, and then, under the huge wind pressure, it broke one by one!

The hard bone arm was actually transformed into fragile white chocolate!

"These things can't do me any harm. As long as I touch the castle, I will still be—invincible!"

The Gluttony Witch said fiercely.

The protruding part of the candy castle was close at hand, within reach.

She had already decided that after returning to the castle, she would no longer be so careless. She would continue to control the angel and use the angel's power to strengthen herself again...

When she broke through that magical realm, all enemies would only become fragile food!

While thinking, she completely didn't notice—

Under the shadow of the side balcony of the candy castle's outer wall, a figure had been lurking for a long time.

When the Gluttony Witch's sight was attracted by the Giant Bone Guard's palm,

Leake moved. The scarlet cloak fluttered fiercely, and the Starstrike Sword instantly burst out with brilliant stars. The silver sword light connected into one—

By the time the Gluttony Witch reacted,

The starlight-shimmering sword blade had already protruded from her chest. The magic and power of her whole body, along with her consciousness, were instantly shattered, defeated, and poured out—

The view spun, falling.

The raised walls of the candy castle slowly stopped, just...

A hair's breadth away.
