However, with Maleficent's addition, the rapidly spinning, about-to-fly-away silver whirlwind slowed down by a beat, failing to take both of them away at once.
After all, the Eastern Witch hadn't fully worn both silver shoes, so the teleportation was a bit clunky!
"You two, don't think about running!"
Just then, from the boat below, a lasso shot out at an incredible speed, ensnaring the Eastern Witch's foot.
It was Aurora!
After Rhine's treatment and a short rest, her resilient body had recovered quite a bit!
Aurora pulled hard, actually dragging the two witches from low altitude onto the deck, to the cabin door, and then pounced on them, entering the range of the silver whirlwind.
At this moment, Rhine also appeared behind Maleficent and the Eastern Witch by teleportation, entering the range of the silver whirlwind.
"No, no!" the Eastern Witch shrieked.
All of this happened in a flash of lightning.
The Soldiers on the ship couldn't react, caught off guard.
Just then, behind the four, the cabin door happened to open.
"What's going on outside? It's been so lively since just now! What fun are you all playing?"
A puppet pulled open the door.
It was Pinocchio, looking bewildered and completely unaware of the situation outside.
In the astonished gazes of the Eastern Witch and Maleficent, the puppet that had opened the door and walked out was also sucked into the range of the silver whirlwind.
The next moment.
With a whoosh.
The silver whirlwind, which had accumulated for a full two seconds, finally launched.
The five people in the whirlwind—Aurora, Rhine, the Eastern Witch, Maleficent, and Pinocchio—all turned into a silver stream of light.
This silver stream of light shot out rapidly, heading towards the distant east, in the direction of Oz.
It was unhindered by physical obstacles, tearing through thousands of miles of space in an instant.
…
In the chaotic currents of the teleportation space.
Rhine and Aurora saw countless scenes change and flow below in just one or two seconds.
There was the azure sea, verdant plains, and also barren deserts, which then turned into the beautiful Green Field.
They were about to descend upon Oz.
"Ah ah ah! Help, help, what's happening?"
Pinocchio, unexpectedly caught in this chaotic whirlwind, was terrified by the feeling of weightlessness in the wind, flailing his arms and kicking his legs.
"Save me, I'm going to die!"
However, at this point, no one cared about this brat.
Aurora drew the sword from her waist, ready to stab Maleficent.
Maleficent also opened her mouth, intending to chant a spell.
Bang!
This silver spatial whirlwind, carrying too many people, exploded, forcefully separating them.
"Teacher!"
Aurora saw Rhine fly far away, reaching out to him, but saw him turn into a stream of light, falling into the city in the Green Field below.
She and Rhine were separated!
And Maleficent, who had just wanted to attack Aurora, and Pinocchio, who was screaming for help, met the same fate, both swept away by the exploding silver whirlwind, turning into streams of light, falling in different directions.
These few people, whether friend or foe, were separated and landed in different parts of Oz.
The surrounding scenery changed rapidly.
Thud.
Aurora felt herself plop down onto the ground.
The scene here was completely different from the storm-ravaged sea before:
The ground was covered with lovely green grass, trees were tall and laden with abundant, sweet fruits, and the hillsides were covered with exotic flowers and plants. Birds with rare and magnificent feathers sang and danced gracefully in the woods and bushes. Not far away, a small stream flowed down a green slope, gurgling.
This was the eastern part of Oz.
Aurora shook her head to clear it, then turned to look.
The Eastern Witch was lying on the ground, face down, a dozen meters away from her.
The witch, supporting her severely injured body, crawled up, raised her head, and upon seeing the surrounding Green Field, burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, I finally escaped back, back to Oz, to my territory."
The next moment, she turned her head and saw Aurora charging towards her, sword in hand, full of momentum.
"Ah ah, little girl, why weren't you separated from me?"
The Eastern Witch was so scared that tears streamed down her face.
Aurora's physique was like a monster's; in just a short while, coupled with Rhine's previous treatment, she had recovered almost completely.
But the Eastern Witch was still severely injured!
"Oh no!"
The Eastern Witch's body rapidly expanded, turning into a giant dragon, placing her claws in front of her to block Aurora's stabbing sword.
The sword pierced through the dragon's claws, the blade penetrating deep into the dragon scales on the dragon's chest.
"Ah ah ah!" The Eastern Witch, transformed into a giant dragon, shrieked in pain.
At this moment, in the distance, many people working on the ground looked over—they were all dressed in strange clothes, and their stature was quite short, unlike the people Aurora had seen in the outside world; they were the Munchkins of eastern Oz.
"Oh my goodness, am I seeing things? That girl is attacking the Eastern Witch?" said a Munchkin wearing a bell hat.
"And the Eastern Witch is screaming in pain; it looks like she's about to lose." said another Munchkin wearing a shimmering white robe.
They were extremely excited, their eyes gleaming, and they simply stopped their work to watch the girl battling the Eastern Witch, hoping that this girl would kill the Eastern Witch.
The Eastern Witch had enslaved them for too long, making them work day and night.
"Kill her, kill that evil witch!" The small Munchkins raised their fists, cheering for Aurora.
The Eastern Witch knew that, being severely injured, she was no match for Aurora, and with a flash of inspiration, she flapped her wings and turned to fly towards the distant sky.
She remembered that this girl couldn't fly!
Aurora saw the Eastern Witch turn into a giant dragon and fly higher and higher, immediately becoming anxious and helpless on the ground.
The Munchkins who came to watch were even more anxious than Aurora.
"How could that bad witch get away!"
If the Eastern Witch didn't die, they would continue to be enslaved by this evil witch!
"Hahaha, silly girl, what's wrong, can't catch up?"
The Eastern Witch looked back, seeing Aurora stomping her feet in frustration on the ground, yet helpless, and she grinned widely.
"After all that effort, I finally escaped back!"
Finally back in her home turf, Oz, countless thoughts flashed through the Eastern Witch's mind—
How to rendezvous with Maleficent, how to kill the magician Rhine and Princess Aurora, how to overthrow Oz's rule, such evil thoughts…
Just then, she suddenly noticed that Aurora on the ground was no longer stomping her feet, but was looking in her direction with a shocked expression.
"What is that girl looking at? Is there something on my head?"
The Eastern Witch, still flapping her wings and flying higher into the sky, was bewildered, turning her head to look upwards.
Above her head, a massive, dark shadow pressed down!
It was a house.
A house falling from the sky!
"No! Why is a house falling from the sky?!"
