The white snow touched the tip of my forefinger. Far from being soft, her touch burned my finger, which then healed without a trace. The umbrella resting on my shoulder protected my skin from its touch, replacing the magic protector Einhanjarr the Old Grandma had set up. Far away from Pei Jin city, in the depths of the forest running down the Arisia river I found a powerful illusion magic that dispelled the eyes.
“Solemn Nightmare.”
I touched the illusion magic and sent a black flame darting towards its owner. And just waiting for a minute, the illusion magic collapsed. From the illusory fog came a large cave, which became the hiding place of the Matrovska.
I am not a person of patience. If there's a chance to solve a problem or a threat that's plaguing my life, I'll do it in one swoop. Fortunately, just as luck had sided with me, a Matrovska betrayed their hiding position to me for free. After ‘membersepekan’ traitor, I immediately darted in this place.
Suddenly a black shadow shot at me, like a bright lightning he slashed his black sword at me. But disappointment immediately dyed his eyes as the phantom slashed at the black flames that would engulf and burn his body in one hysterical cry.
When Matrovska fell down before me, I stepped on her head and stared into the cave, “Arthur.... until when did you hide from your dear brother, hmm?” my challenge.
Arthur answered my challenge with a face full of anger. By his side, eight Knights in black robes and swords were present. My breath, there are nine more. Little laugh of me. I've gone crazy huh, fighting nine specialist witch hunters alone. But, I had to buy as much time as possible until Lumina managed to infiltrate their base and steal Matrovska's rotten plan.
Right, I'm just a bait that's too tempting to resist. Currently, Lumina was settling into the darkness of the forest, controlling her undead creeping from underground towards Matrovska headquarters. With hope, we get at least a journal about the details of their plans.if lucky.
“How can you find us, Moon Daemon?” asked Arthur coldly.
“One of your beautiful men, Claudya is happy to tell this place…. Well, after I damaged a little bit of his brain. Fate. hmmm, kruang is more the same as the two meat sticks here. Their minds are so broken that they are no longer alive, but also not dead,” I replied with a cynical smile.
“I-Devil, what did you do to Claudya?!” arthur shouted, but his eyes opened when he saw me disappear in front of his eyes. Then I laughed and whispered in his ear,
“Devil, you say?” I said who then scratched my dagger fingers on his neck, “Your eyes with the scent of innocent blood smelled thick in your hands that?”
Arthur tried to cut me down, but only the flames of darkness greeted him. The clever boy took off his robe before his body was consumed by the flames of darkness. Quickly, Arthur immediately shouted to warn his subordinates,
“Avoid that dark fire! He is not a witch who attacks your body, but your mind. Just a little bit of dark fire touches you, Moon Daemon will soon destroy our minds!”
“Ready, Captain!” the other Matrovska replied, who then mounted their horses, looking for myself in the dark of the night.
Laughing at myself who composed myself from the flames of darkness that burned my previous victims. With grace I lowered my head to introduce myself like a princess, “Greetings dear Knight from Kinje. I, Clair the White Witch of Pei Jin,” said I then reached out my hand to them,
“Are there any gentlemen who would like to dance with me tonight?”
I can't believe three of Matrovska attacked me right away. Immediately I took one's hand and broke it, then borrowed his sword to pass through the stomach of his partner. On one occasion I repelled the slash of the giant Sword of a Matrovska with a male body in my hand. Then I called out the sword of fire from my hand and spouted it out on the last Matrovska, burning his mind to nothing.
But of course the Matrovksa I defeated was only a deceitful shadow, for a bright ray of light appeared from the sky. A gigantic magic circle, with a fire spear emerging from the center. Laughing blankly at me, they called Longinus? A high-level destruction magic that can destroy a single city easily? It seemed as though as I was busy fighting the shadow, the nine Matrovska were circling around me and calling out to him.
Damn, I seem to underestimate the Matrovska too much.
“Even a Monster like you wouldn't survive being exposed to this high-level magic directly,” said Arthur who drew his sword at me.
Hmmm, it seems that if I fight as a witch, my life will end here. I saw that most of the matrovska looked shabby and thin, even Arthur. I have not left Pei Jin for a long time, but seeing their condition, I can imagine how concerned the people of Kinje are.
“What if, I buy your loyalty from Arielle worth ten thousand gold coins?” I said that folding hands and resting on my chin, “At least, if you all serve me, you will not sleep in that cold cave,” I bargained.
Arthur snorted in annoyance, “You think you can tease us, Devil?”
“Hmm, flirt? Gini yeah, I never understood. Why would anyone like you gladly throw away his life for a Queen who does not remember your name,” I said, then spread my hand,
“Didn't you guys see it? How beautiful is Pei Jin? Everyone lives in peace, free from the threat of Superadical Snow. I happen to be the ruler of Clariyastra, I can easily invite you to stay in it. Along with.. kinsfolk who you want to free from this cruel world.”
“Matrovska, unleash Longinus magic!!” arthur shouted that he wanted to cast the high magic on us, but he was surprised and stopped him. For the three Matrovskas whom I defeated his shadow earlier, approached me and knelt down to give up his life to me.
“M-I forgive us Captain. t-but, we feel, the order of Queen Arielle is unreasonable,” said a blond man prostrating himself before Arthur. Regret was clearly visible in his awajh as he continued,
“S-I want my family to be happy.”
Now I see the third face of Matrovska. They were knights who used to work as tantamas on the battlefield. The blonde was Leon, the son of an iron craftsman in the plosok of the emperor junon. That green haired sweet lady... uh, she's not Aleina? The magician who took my magic alchemy training in the simulated world? And another one is a man who has a rogue face like his father. Grigory was the son of the Taiga general who had accompanied me on an expedition to Hilfheim.
The third eye of Matrovska looked very tired with the misfortune of their lives.
“K-you guys? N-Don't you guys understand, that figure is the Devil who is going to destroy this world? Why are you guys just siding with him?” ask Arthur not to believe it.
As Arthur rebuked his son, in my head came telepathy from Lumina, “Daughter, I have got it.”
I telepathically sent him, “Good work. Oh yes, Lumina. Can I ask for one more favor? Please bring two Matrovska who fell in this fight. They're not dead yet. I want to persuade them to side with me, just like the other three.”
“H-H-Ha?! K-kok can? Don't tell me Princess brainwashed them?”
“Later to tell me,” said I cut the telepathy. Then I walked over to Arthur and reached out to him,
“All that was just Arielle's propaganda. Why would I destroy this world, Arthur? Did I spread this Nyght Plague, as you guys rumored? Did I give meaningless war orders to other countries, only to lose miserably and to suffer the lives of many?”
“You are just a liar. All your words are unbelievable! If you do not intend to destroy this world, why did you not save it?! You have an enormous power to do so, Moon Daemon!!”
But I can't believe my words actually make Arthur very angry. I could feel the immense flames of vengeance from the look in his eyes. A fire that is so familiar to me. For some reason, when I saw Arthur now, it was as if I saw myself in the past.
“Arthur.. I'm not that great to save this world,” I answered honestly.
“Liar! Just wait until you deny all your sweet words!” arthur yelled, who then lost control of his emotions, and attacked me rashly.
Immediately I brushed off the slash of his sword easily and with just one move I was able to cut the boy's head with my dagger fingers. However, Grigory prevented it even though his bloody hand was slashed by my finger.
My breath, “What do I have to do. In order for you to trust me Arthur? Ideal White would not save this world. It is too late to save this broken world.”
Ideal White is the power of the Goddess of Death. The lonely goddess who wants the end of the world itself.
Arthur jumped back, aware that the chances of him winning dropped dramatically when the three Matrovska sided with me. Especially when he noticed the presence of the Zombie Fenrir transporting the devastated Matrovska to my side. A witch can easily be defeated, but Fenrir is another story. They were weapons designed specifically by the Black Company to protect witches from the Matrovska. Well, even though they're just zombies under Lumina's control now.
Arthur uses his last magic and opens the lightning portal. Before the six Matrovska were swallowed by the portal, Arthur said to me,
“This is not over. I'll stop you before you finish your rotten plan, Moon Daemon!”
Rotten plan…? What do I have plans for? I just want to reap the greatest profits from the new factory I will build? Or maybe he heard my plan to manipulate Lifebane and steal magic from the world? ... Is it possible that Old Grandma was playing a trick on me?
Before I could clear the misunderstanding, Arthur disappeared. Leaving me more questions than answers.
Who manipulated Arthur into making him a blind puppet who would not see the truth?
I took my breath and looked at my three new followers. Smiling bitterly at me and saying, “Araraa, it seems like the four of us will be talking for a very long time. My honorable knights.”
