< Chapter 96 - Masterpiece #5 (Including Cordelia Emoticon #2) >

The Witch of the Western Forest was a formidable figure.
She was born and raised as a slave, never learning anything, and became prey to demons, but she did not die in vain.
With only the power of a strong soul, he made a contract with the demons, and with his talents that transcended common sense, he amassed a fearsome power and reversed his relationship with the demons.
It was truly amazing.
The transformation of a girl who was a mere sacrifice into a great witch who commands countless demons was an unprecedented event in the long history of hell.
Moreover, the witch of the western forest was not weak at all.
She was a real strong woman.
Her soul, which had mastered countless secrets and begun to see through the secrets of the world, continued to grow, and eventually she gained enough power to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Demon Princes, the great nobles of Hell.
At this point, even the overlords of hell could not sit still.
The Witch of the Western Forest is an overly dangerous impurity in Hell.
The one who struck the player was Belial, the overlord of corruption.
He personally went into battle to devour the witch’s soul and make it his own.
The black insect legions, which boasted the largest number of all the legions of hell, rose up at once, and both the heavens and the earth were covered with disasters including loess.
The wise witch of the Western Forest knew very well that the moment the black worm army arose, there were only two paths given to her.
One is to surrender.
Once again, we live as slaves, chained and shackled, prostrating ourselves at the feet of Belial.
The Witch of the Western Forest did not do so.
I didn’t want to do that.
That is why the witch of the western forest raised an army.
Even though he knew that a certain defeat awaited him, he chose to confront the Overlord Belial head-on.
And the results were disastrous.
The Western Forest, which had been the witch’s domain, was completely burned down, and most of the countless demons she had contracted with were destroyed by Belial’s wrath.
The witch’s soul was on fire.
Her body was regenerated and destroyed hundreds and thousands of times by Belial, and the witch’s soul was worn down day by day in the endless agony of death.
If Asmodeus, the overlord of lust, had not personally intervened and stolen her soul, the witch’s existence would have completely disappeared from this world.
The Witch of the Western Forest.
A positional being.
Although he was defeated, he is the protagonist of a myth who directly moved two great lords of hell.
‘Yeah, I know it’s great. But why is a witch here?’
Huh? Why are you coming out here!
Uther’s confusion was justified.
In the original, after teaching Cordelia how to become a witch, she ascended – no, it’s better to say ascended, but in reality, it was the fate of a witch to meet belated destruction.
In fact, she was the witch of the western forest who did not appear in the second part of Heroes’ Chronicles, not to mention the multiplayer part 2.5, and not even in the third part which is the later story.
‘But why!’
Actually, I think I know the reason.
Because Uther himself and Cordelia changed history.
In the original work, she was a witch who was possessed by Cordelia’s body and fought against Asmodeus’s clutches, but her powers ran out and she was destroyed.
But this time it was different.
She did not fight Asmodeus’ clutches directly, and as a result escaped the fate of annihilation.
[Hey, Yuder. What’s going on?]
Cordelia tugged at her sleeve, sweat dripping down her face, and instead of answering, Uther smiled as naturally as he could – but with a hint of awkwardness.
‘Calm down, calm down, Kang Yoo-deok.’
Although his self-description showed that he was not at all calm, Uder took a deep breath.
In this case, I had experienced this several times in my past life.
When your fake identity is revealed.
In Cordelia’s terms, when you get caught cheating.
‘How did you do it?’
Most of them would knock down the guy next to them or in front of them and then run away.
But this time, that wasn’t possible.
If I jumped out here, it would be goodbye to Cassius.
The witch of the western forest smiling while looking this way.
He must have recovered a lot of his strength while I hadn’t seen him, because he was so clearly a living person despite being only a soul.
What should I do?
How can I avoid this situation!
“Helena, are you really friends?”
At that very moment, Cassius asked with a suspicious look on his face.
Because the sight of Cordelia sweating profusely was extremely suspicious.
‘Gulp.’
Cordelia swallowed dryly.
Thanks to hanging out with Yuder, she had become more shameless and darker in accordance with the principle of the dark side of ink and the dark side of nature, but at this moment, she was back in the past.
In other words, he was saying that his face was filled with confusion and fear, just like when he was reading a Korean textbook.
‘What should I do, what should I do?’
I got caught scamming!
Cordelia tightened her grip on Uther’s sleeve, but Uther was also in a dilemma.
‘Calm down, calm down, Cordelia.’
First, I had to see how they would react.
The one who holds the casting vote is not this side but the other side – namely, the Witch of the Western Forest.
How will she come out?
What would be the answer to Cassius’ question?
Uther focused his attention on the witch’s lips.
Her beautiful and attractive lips, though inferior to Cordelia’s, opened softly.
“Yes, that’s right. I told you.”
“Really?”
“Oh, really.”
The witch who spoke lightly smiled at this, and Cordelia flinched once again.
Uder laughed bitterly and said.
“I thought that someday… this would happen.”
The witch’s green eyes stared at Yuder’s, who was also green.
A green flame rising from the black abyss.
That light is so mysterious.
“Hey, but how can you do something like this? I told you because I’m you.”
As Cassius grumbled, the witch smiled again and said, even as she exchanged glances with Uther.
“I’m sorry, but I knew it the moment I met you.”
“what?”
“What kind and honest children they are.”
After finishing speaking, the witch smiled again with her eyes of desire, and Cordelia complained of the pangs of conscience with a sigh.
It was obvious that it was a sound that was meant to be heard.
But unlike Cordelia, the properly black and shameless Uther somehow endured it.
‘I’m thinking of turning a blind eye for now.’
That was the situation.
In that case, it would be better to take a step forward rather than continue to cower like this.
“But··· how are you two······.”
When I opened my mouth slightly, Cassius frowned, but he wasn’t a witch. This time, he laughed out loud and rested his chin on one hand as he spoke.
“Well, Cassius is the devil.”
“yes?”
“hey!”
The embarrassment was Judas, and the anger was Cassius.
“What if I tell you that!”
“Is it some kind of big secret? It’s not like you’re hiding anything from me anyway.”
“You never said that out loud?”
Jude was once again taken aback by Cassius’s objection.
‘What, was that really a devil? Not a witch?’
“Yes, that’s right. Cassius is not a witch, but a demon. But don’t worry. He’s a good demon, a heretic by demon standards.”
As if reading Yuder’s mind, the witch continued speaking.
And at that moment, Uther understood many things.
‘That makes sense. No, actually, if you say devil, many things will be solved.’
The enemy Cassius targeted.
Could it be that it was a being from hell?
Same devil.
And if that demon happens to be the overlord of hell.
If it’s Belial, the overlord of corruption who brought down the witch of the western forest.
Cassius suddenly disappeared one day.
The weapon she was preparing to face the transcendent being.
“Hey, you want to die? What the hell is a good devil!”
“Why? Did I say something wrong? You’re a good person.”
When the witch spoke teasingly, Cassius blushed and grumbled, but his reaction was closer to embarrassment than anger.
So the witch continued speaking in a relaxed voice.
“It’s okay, they’re really kind and good kids. They’re the kind of kids who build walls around themselves to avoid lying or cheating.”
“Ugh.”
Cordelia stumbled again at the words he had deliberately told her to listen to, but Uther instead composed his expression.
Whatever the reason, the witch of the western forest was now on our side.
If so, then riding on her favor would also be one of the methods.
“Lord Cassius, it is just as the Witch of the Western Forest said. I came here to see you, Lord Cassius.”
“Huh, you want me to make you a weapon? Why should I do that?”
Cassius, who had been swimming in a sea of embarrassment until just a moment ago, suddenly crossed his arms and answered proudly.
But judging from the way he acted, it seemed like he was going to listen once I spoke.
‘If that’s the case.’
Uther took another deep breath.
The witch, who was delighted to see how she could change Cassius’s mind, answered with her eyes as well, then spoke to Cassius again.
“Because I have what you want, Cassius.”
“what?”
“All parts of the Ancient Dragon.”
Judas’ words stifled Cassius’ anger.
Cassius, who was about to tell them to get out immediately, hesitated for a moment, but Uther continued forward without stopping.
“I have the corpse of an ancient dragon. I have the claws, hide, scales, and even the dragon heart.”
“That’s a lie.”
“No, it’s all true. We are very honest, just like the witch said. Isn’t that right, witch?”
When Uther turned to the witch and asked, Cordelia once again tugged at Uther’s sleeve as if pleading her conscience, but he wasn’t a swindler in our house for nothing.
I just faced the witch with a snake-like face.
‘help!’
It was a truly shameless request, but the witch didn’t get angry. Instead, she laughed heartily and nodded as if she was very happy.
“That’s right, that’s right. It’s exactly as the child said. They are very honest and kind children.”
“Ugh.”
Cordelia, whose conscience was tattered by the attack that wasn’t an attack, eventually stumbled.
However, Uther held Cordelia’s hand tightly and turned his gaze to Cassius.
“It’s all true. And the quantity is not small. I have this much.”
After saying that, Uder handed the documents he had prepared in advance to the flustered Cassius.
“Please review it.”
“Yeah, yeah.”
Cassius nodded absentmindedly and began to look through the documents, but soon his eyes widened in surprise.
“What, what is this? Is this real? You have everything here?”
“Yes, it’s all real.”
“That’s ridiculous! Did you catch an ancient dragon?”
“Yes, I got it.”
“Yeah, there’s no way I caught it… What? I caught it?!”
“Yes, I caught the ancient black dragon Malekith.”
It was the truth, not a scam.
But that didn’t mean that Yuder’s voice was any more confident than before.
The existence of a difference between the two means that one is true and the other is false.
Both are true.
Anyway, the truth.
“Hey, Helena. Really? Are you sure what they’re saying is true?”
“It’s true. I really caught Malekith. This is surprising to me, too.”
The witch, who had been smiling wryly until just now, opened her eyes wide and said, “Is it really true that I was surprised?”
That would be the case, since the Ancient Dragon was truly a god-like being.
“You, you- no, what on earth are you guys······.”
As Cassius began to wander in extreme confusion, Uther smiled and continued speaking.
“It’ll be a bit long if I tell you the story. In any case, everything in the document is true, and we came here to request that Cassius create a mythical dragon equipment. The compensation will of course be calculated from various parts of the ancient dragon.”
Cassius gulped as the words flowed by so quickly.
Because with these materials, it seemed like I could make the weapon I had been longing for.
‘You’ve come over.’
Uther smiled brightly, and Cordelia, feeling guilty, smiled with difficulty.
But both Uther and Cordelia reacted the same way to what followed.
“It can’t be at the myth level.”
“yes?”
Cordelia, who had asked back without realizing it, looked at Uther, and Uther also looked at Cordelia.
Because it was a completely different story from the original.
‘What, what? What happened? Huh?’
If it’s materials, that’s enough.
No, rather, it’s a situation where there’s more than enough than in the original!
Cordelia wasn’t wrong.
In the original, it was possible to create mythical dragon equipment with far fewer materials than this.
But why?
What on earth does Cassius’ reaction mean?
“I’ll say it again, it can’t be a mythical level. Well, it can’t be, but it can’t end at that level. I’ll go with the awakened mythical dragon equipment.”
“yes?”
Awakening what?
Awakening Myth Dragon Equipment?
[What is that? Do you know, Yuder?]
[I don’t know either.]
It was a weapon of a level I had never heard of before.
But the myth of awakening.
Anyway, the awakening myth!
[It’s definitely better because it has one more word.]
Cordelia nodded at Uther’s message.
If a higher-level item comes out, it will probably be called the true awakening myth.
[Oh, wait. So you’re saying you’ll make something better than a myth? Is that what you just said?]
Better gear.
It is a better piece of equipment than the original weapon that did not even appear in the original, and was already the ultimate weapon in the original.
Cordelia’s eyes began to sparkle with ecstasy, and so did Uther’s.
These were two people whose dormant gaming brains had become active again.
“Thank you. Please help me.”
“Thank you too. I’m sure you can do it, Cassius!”
As the two got excited, Cassius got excited too, and as the three got excited, Melissa got excited too.
But there was one person who felt rather uneasy about this situation.
[Your Majesty, you wouldn’t make a sword, would you?]
As for the two legs, once is enough.
Ultimate One.
That was the moment when Sword Origin Velencia said so.
“The Sword Spirit? And that of Valencia?”
The witch of the Western Forest spoke with a surprised expression, then snapped her fingers. Then, the figure of a beautiful elf woman appeared next to Yuder – the figure of Velencia.
[Huh? Huh huh?]
Belencia, who had emerged from Yuder’s body – or rather, had her image projected outwards – blinked in confusion and spoke.
Then, the voice that was usually only heard by Uther was heard by the witch of the western forest, and even by Cordelia.
“It’s really Belencia.”
The witch of the western forest exclaimed in wonder again, and Cordelia, who saw Velencia, was surprised in a different way.
‘There’s a sister like that in Yuder?’
A sister that pretty and cool?
Cordelia’s eyes sharpened involuntarily. And before Yuder could respond to that change in expression, Cassius raised his voice.
“Oh! Velencia! Sword Origin! You! You are the owner of the Ultimate One!”
Cassius, who had shouted loudly, strode forward and stood in front of Yuder. He then suddenly began to touch various parts of Yuder’s body, regardless of whether Velencia and Cordelia were watching or not.
“Excuse me, Cassius?”
Belencia, aside, Cordelia’s eyes are getting more and more fierce, right?
But Cassius didn’t seem to care – no, he was completely absorbed in touching Uther’s body and just exclaimed in admiration.
“Wow, this is crazy. I’ve actually touched it and it’s really amazing. It’s almost- no, it’s just a perfect body. And it even has the Sword Origin?”
Cordelia snorted and Velencia frowned as Cassius repeatedly stroked Juder’s firm chest and slender waist.
And that was the moment when Yuder was contemplating whether he should use his Super Wind Trust to escape.
“Okay, this is really good. Let’s go with something different. Rather than making a new one, I think it would be better to add the power of the Awakening Mythic Dragon Equipment to Sword Origin.”
“Adding strength…?”
“Yes, I will make Sword Origin much stronger than it is now.”
Cassius smiled brightly as he spoke, his spirit of challenge burning within him as a craftsman.
Belencia was also happy for a moment.
[Now there will be no need for future generations to straddle the fence.]
‘No, that’s never happened in the first place······.’
Anyway, it was a good situation for Cassius, Velencia, and Uder.
And one person.
Something good also happened to Cordelia, who had been strangely isolated from the current situation.
“Sword Origin and your husband are not on good terms, so you don’t have to worry. You know very well that he is a child who only thinks about you, whether he is sitting or standing.”
Cordelia, startled by the witch’s voice right next to her, opened her eyes wide in surprise again.
Because he had been standing next to Yuder until just now, but now he was sitting on the witch’s lap.
“You’re cute.”
The witch, who was still hugging Cordelia from behind, continued to speak to her as she flinched.
“Since Cassius is that excited… I think he’ll probably focus on strengthening Sword Origin for a while. But since Yuder is Sword Origin soon, they’ll both be busy. So, Baby Rabbit, come play with me.”
“Oh, a baby rabbit?”
“Isn’t that a rabbit?”
“No, that······ is true······.”
For it was Cordelia herself, with her rabbit ears and tail now familiar to her.
“Okay, then, Baby Rabbit. Isn’t there something you want to learn from me?”
Actually, there were many things I wanted to ask before that.
What on earth is going on?
When they said we’d meet again, did they really mean today?
What to do next.
But Cordelia focused only on the witch’s question for the time being.
Because, as the witch said, there was something I wanted to learn from her.
“It’s not just a spell or a sorcery. Those are things that can be easily learned just from the sorcery book I left behind.”
The witch was right.
What Cordelia wanted to learn was something more fundamental.
Something you can’t learn from the angel Lena.
Something you can only learn from the witch of the Western Forest who had countless demons at her command.
And what it seeks to accomplish.
“That’s an interesting idea. I think I could help.”
A desperate move that has been practiced since the Temple of Life, but has not yet been perfected.
Cordelia didn’t hide it any longer.
He smiled brightly and nodded in front of the witch who had already seen through everything.
“Please take good care of me.”
“Okay, please take care of me too.”
Awakening Myth Dragon Equipment and the Witch’s Teachings.
The unexpected power-up of two people has begun.
