< Chapter 6 - The Witch's Forest #6 >
&
Long ago, there was a girl.
The child, sold by his parents for nine copper coins, became a sacrifice to the demon’s summons, and instead of being reduced to a handful of gooey flesh, he became the demon’s slave at the devil’s whim.
The fate of slaves was harsh.
There was no rest for those whose souls were possessed by the devil.
Their fate was to be played with by the devil while alive, and to suffer in pain for eternity after death.
The girl did the same.
It was meant to be that way.
But the girl did not submit to fate.
Instead of lying down, she stood up and ultimately changed her fate.
she is-
‘I know! I already knew this!’
The witch’s story.
The legend of a witch who started out as a slave to demons but eventually subdued them.
But that wasn’t what was important now.
More important than the witch’s past was how she handled her powers.
[···I already know this.]
The witch, who had a gloomy voice for some reason, instead of showing Cordelia her past like a revolving lantern, directly controlled Cordelia’s spirit and body to control her power.
The witch’s powers were someone else’s to Cordelia, so she couldn’t use them naturally.
Although the original Cordelia acquired and used ‘witch transformation’, she was the future Cordelia, not the current Cordelia.
Just as you can’t learn how to drive right now just because you plan to get a driver’s license in the future.
Moreover, unlike in the original, there were no situations where you could use magic with just one skill button, so you needed some tricks to use the witch’s power.
The witch’s power was put into motion.
The power of the Great Witch, which even subdued demons, spread throughout Cordelia’s body and soul.
Just once.
But that was enough. Cordelia instinctively realized how to use the power, opened her closed eyes, and unleashed the power.
“Uder!”
The moment Cordelia shouted and her eyes flashed, a strong green wave swept through the entire seal.
Not only the demon that was trying to attack Yuder with such great force, but even Yuder and Lucas were swept away and thrown away.
“Kuwoah!”
“Cough!”
“Ugh!”
Although he was pushed back significantly, he held on, spitting out his old man’s words.
On the other hand, Yuder and Lucas could not hold out and rolled around on the floor. Yuder was especially close to the wall, so he even hit the wall hard once.
Immediately after the power is released.
Cordelia’s eyes, emitting a green glow, took in the full view of the sealed area.
Lucas, who was standing up with his sword in his hand, was holding on to his old man’s sword while spitting out his old man’s words.
And Yuder, lying on the floor, groaning in pain.
Cordelia’s eyes flashed with rage. She took a step forward and shouted.
“How dare you!”
You hurt Uther.
You’ve taken down Uder.
I don’t forgive.
I won’t forgive you!
[Hey, that’s you······.]
The witch’s voice did not reach Cordelia.
She was so excited that she swung her arms wildly, exerting her strength once again.
The power of the witch.
A kind of telekinesis spread out as green smoke.
He became the hand of a giant and struck the devil!
“Qoo!”
The demon was violently thrown back. But the creature didn’t just sit there and let it suffer. It twisted its body in midair, changed direction, and then kicked off the wall and rushed towards Cordelia.
“Kuha!”
The creature opened its mouth wide. A red flash of light appeared inside its abyss-like maw, and soon it became a huge pillar of light that rushed towards Cordelia.
“Breath?!”
As Lucas shouted in surprise, Cordelia had already reacted. As he raised his right hand sharply, a stream of green smoke struck the demon’s jaw, forcibly changing the direction of his breath.
Kwagagagagang-!
The ceiling, hit directly by the demon’s breath, shattered and rocks fell down. And Cordelia used them. She swung her left hand and snatched the rocks with green smoke, then created a whirlwind and collided with the demon.
“Kwaaak!”
The rocks became like blades and cut through the demon’s entire body.
But it wasn’t yet.
The demon’s hide was thick, and its eyes still glowed red.
“Kuraha!”
As the creature spread its arms wide and roared, the whirlwind itself was shattered.
“go away!”
But Cordelia didn’t just sit back and watch. As soon as the bastard had shattered the whirlwind, she struck the roaring bastard in the chest with her right fist, sending a blast of green smoke down her spine.
Quagga River!
There was a tremendous noise as the wall and the demon collided. The impact was so strong that the entire seal shook.
“Haa··· haa··· student······.”
Cordelia’s nose was gushing blood. Her eyes were also bloodshot and looked like they would burst into tears at any moment.
Sweat poured down like rain from Cordelia’s body.
Although it was only used for a short time, the witch’s power was so strong that it even struck Cordelia.
[Not yet.]
The witch spoke, and Cordelia knew.
It wasn’t something that could be taken down with a blow of this magnitude. In the original, Cordelia, who borrowed the power of a witch, created a giant magic spear and pierced the thing, and was barely able to defeat it.
[Use the spear of Calamite.]
Just then the witch spoke, and Cordelia held her breath and listened closely to hear the spell.
One second like that. Two seconds again.
“Tell me!”
[Don’t you know this?]
The moment when Cordelia and the witch’s words overlapped.
“Koooo!”
The demon, whose hair stood on end, roared once more and kicked the ground. It closed the distance between itself and Cordelia in an instant, as if it was cutting through space.
“Fuck!”
Cordelia unleashed her witch powers wildly. She managed to push away the demon trying to punch her, and at the same time rolled on the floor to escape.
“Magic Missile!”
Cordelia mixed her magic power with the witch’s, thus infusing the witch’s power into the magic she normally used.
Quagga River!
A huge magic missile formed in an instant, like a ballista’s arrow, and rushed straight towards the demon, making a terrifying explosion sound.
“Ugh!”
But Cordelia was also hit. In an instant, Cordelia bent over and blood poured out from her mouth.
[It is still too early for you to make my power yours. Use my magic, not yours.]
The witch’s power was not normal magical power.
Since it was the power of a demon that the legendary Great Witch had obtained by subduing countless demons, in order to use magic properly beyond simply swinging it, the witch had to use a spell that she had uniquely perfected.
Otherwise, if the witch’s power was used in normal magic like now, there would be a backlash.
[Listen carefully.]
The witch quickly began to recite a spell, but the demon didn’t give her time.
“Coooo!”
Although his fur was singed and his whole body was covered in blood from being hit directly by the Magic Missile, he was still alive.
He quickly closed the distance between them and swung his right arm in a big way, trying to break Cordelia, who was barely standing.
“Wow!”
Just then Lucas roared and threw down his sword.
The sword, imbued with the power of the Holy King’s Cross Sword, advanced like a lightning bolt, and succeeded in drawing the devil’s attention for a moment.
thud!
And the 36 treasures of the world were spread out.
Uther, who was desperately running towards Cordelia, kicked the ground at some point and hugged Cordelia tightly.
But time was running out.
I tried to dodge with Cordelia, but the demon’s attack was faster than I could.
Kwagagagagang!
The devil’s hand swept across the ground. The ground was shattered by the immense force.
“no!”
That’s when Lucas screamed.
“Magic Missile!”
The magic struck again. The demon who had been struck in the side was thrown back with a groan of pain, and Lucas could see it.
floor.
Cordelia and Uther were lying entangled together.
Cordelia, who was lying underneath, used magic, and Uther breathed a sigh of relief on top of Cordelia.
Fairy footsteps.
I activated it at the same time as I hugged Cordelia, and thanks to that I was able to perfectly evade the demon’s attack.
“Cough!”
But Cordelia vomited blood again.
Uder opened his eyes wide in surprise, and the witch’s voice was heard by the two of them.
[It’s a limit. The backlash from excessive operation is too severe. Any more is dangerous.]
His tone was gentle, but his voice was full of concern.
Uther quickly looked back at Cordelia, and Cordelia looked at Uther like that.
The moment our eyes met.
“Kwaaah!”
The demon limped to his feet and let out a roar. With a large wound on his side, he charged at Uther and Cordelia.
“Noom!”
Lucas picked up the sword that had fallen on the ground and turned towards the demon.
Cordelia opened her lips and whispered to Uther.
“Kuha!”
The demon leapt up. He flew over Lucas’ head in one breath and swooped down, swinging his fist.
bang!
The shield magic that Cordelia had deployed with Count Chase’s ring was instantly destroyed.
The demon landed on the ground and pulled his fist again, and Cordelia looked at him.
Instead of casting the shield magic again, he looked at the demon with his clear blue eyes and raised his middle finger.
Have you given up?
Is this the last time you’ll spit out some curse words?
No it wasn’t.
As the demon pulled his fist, Cordelia’s hair turned red again.
At the same time, Uther’s hair, which had been positioned above Cordelia as if protecting her, grew longer in an instant.
Cordelia laughed, her blood dripping down her cheeks.
He opened his lips again and spoke.
“Get rid of it.”
I knew it the moment our eyes met.
The fact that Yuder can also hear the witch’s voice.
So Cordelia took action. She gave the witch’s power to Uther.
“Wow!”
Yuder roared and raised himself. The witch moved her power within Yuder, and Yuder unleashed the Holy Cross Guardians’ magic circle.
[You’re going to get hurt.]
There will be a strong backlash.
But Yuder didn’t care. He didn’t have time to listen to the witch’s spells now.
Because the current method was the best.
Uther’s two eyes glowed green.
The witch’s power activated the magic spell, and a pure white light burst out.
Tsuwaaaaaaah!
A giant golden cross.
It was formed in the pure white light. It struck the demon and tried to advance while burning its body.
“Koooooo!”
But the demons were not easily pushed back. They exploded with power and confronted the Golden Cross. The dark red demonic energy clashed with the holy power of the Golden Cross, causing dozens of lightning bolts to appear.
Blood flowed from the corner of Yuder’s mouth.
The two arms that were holding the wineglass trembled like aspen trees, and sweat ran down his forehead like rain.
It was a tense clash.
No, little by little, Yuder started to get pushed back.
It was due to Yuder’s physical strength issues maintaining the drink rather than the drink itself.
[No, this can’t go on······.]
The witch groaned. But Yuder did not give up.
Because I believed.
Because I could trust it.
“Cordelia!”
At that moment, when Yuder screamed,
Cordelia was reflected in the demon’s red eyes.
Pure white magic was concentrated at the tips of her fingers.
Magic Missile.
Very small and weak, but enough to upset the balance.
Cordelia wiggled her fingers with a pained smile. A magic missile the size of her finger flew at full speed and struck the demon’s eye!
“Ugh!”
The pain upset the balance.
A crack appeared in the demonic power that the demon had been emitting, and Yuder did not miss it.
Quagga River!
The demon’s scream and loud noise erupted simultaneously. The Yellow Cross pushed the demon away in one breath, and it flew for almost ten meters before crashing into the wall.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
The golden cross dug into the bastard’s body. It didn’t just burn him, it completely obliterated him.
“Ahhhh!”
With a final scream, the red light from the bastard’s eyes disappeared. Starting from his chest, his entire body was engulfed in pure white flames, and soon he turned to ash and scattered.
“Haa··· Hak······.”
Uther, who had been watching the whole scene, let out a ragged breath and then vomited blood just like Cordelia had done.
In any case, Uther had a worse compatibility with witches than Cordelia.
Although it was only used once, it left Cordelia in as bad a condition as if she had used it several times.
[I’m going to lose my strength. Don’t overdo it and fall down.]
Yuder nodded to the witch’s gentle voice, nosebleed streaming down his face, and collapsed next to Cordelia.
‘Level… went up.’
Because several pure white rings were formed.
Moreover, I heard a voice in my head telling me that I had earned the title of Demon Slayer.
‘All abilities +3, and the attack power of the Great Demon increases by 5%······.’
Even if I fainted, I had to take care of what I needed to take care of.
And the same was true for Cordelia.
“Fuck, it’s good… ”
Even though half of her face was covered in blood from her nosebleed, her smile was still beautiful.
‘What a peerless beauty.’
And that was it.
Before he could even finish his verse, Yuder lost consciousness and fainted.
Cordelia looked at Yuder like that and smiled with a hint of swearing once more, then gritted her teeth and tried to keep her wits about her.
Even if I fainted, it wasn’t the time yet.
Because there was something I had to check.
“Miss Cordelia! Prince Uder!”
Cordelia finally let out a sigh of relief as she watched Lucas running towards her in a panic.
Lucas is also safe.
The demon has been defeated, and the barrier has probably been broken.
So now I can faint.
“The rest··· Please······.”
Cordelia, who had spoken softly, lost consciousness, and Lucas nodded in deja vu.
‘As expected, a fantastic couple.’
After mine, now demon.
Because the chemistry between the two was truly fantastic.
Lucas looked at Uther and Cordelia alternately as if he was envious, then reached out to lay them both down.
And the witch’s spirit, who was quietly looking down at Lucas, blinked several times and said.
[Hmm… I guess I shouldn’t ascend yet?]
Because I have to talk to two people.
The witch’s soul, with her brows furrowed, looked at the faces of Uther and Cordelia lying side by side, and soon a pleased smile appeared on her face without her knowing it, just like Lucas had.
