“History is written by the winners and the truth will forever be buried under the rubble of hope,” said Khanza who smiled bitterly at the tower, “When you really want to change the world, you really want to change the world, you realize how weak you are. Even so, there are still naive children who believe they can do it.
Haaah…
At least, inside this cage.
“...actually what happened ten years ago?” my many.
“I'm sorry, instead Khanza doesn't want to tell Chrysant. But I promised not to tell you. And Khanza always kept his promise,” said the witch who suddenly slid an ice dagger into a shadow that seeped into the ditch,
“Cih, White Order. Chrysant, reverse.”
I shook my head, “Bila Desert Lion said This tower is very important for Black Company,” I said that pulled my spare sword from the storage room. I activated the sword and took the horses,
“Then I, Ruin Hunter, will protect her with all my strength.”
Khanza harrumphed amusedly,” Pfftt, when you can't use magic? You can too, Chrysant. Very well, please don’t slow me down, ‘kay?” he said that summoned an ice sword spear and released a cold aura that froze the iron in the room.
From the shadows appears a man with a modern battlesuit, complete with a fearsome skull mask. The number IV is inscribed on the forehead of the mask, blazing reddish. The man opened his large book, calling out the three swords that floated on his back.
Khanza laughed before covering his face with a skull mask of diamonds, “Oh, a High Witch who was always a coward is now present on the battlefield? How do you do…
The Fourth Lector of White Order, Adrammalech?”
“You know him?” my number was on standby, the magic emanated from the man was so big that it gave me goosebumps. He was as strong as Predator Telos, no, maybe stronger.
Khanza nodded, “Yup, he's the poor guy Khanza rejected so many times!” he said the one who shot hit the man with his ice spear. With a graceful dance, Khanza danced the overwhelmed death dance on the banks of Adrammalech.
But, Khanza did not realize that a sword twirled violently from the floor and shot towards him—
TRING!!
I swiped the sword until the projection missed, hit the wall and exploded there. Strong attack that penetrated the deepest layer of the concrete wall.
“Waah, Alech, do you really want to hit Khanza with your sword? Naughty yes you turned out,” said Khanza who treated the fight like a game.
Adrammalech patted his forehead and let out a long sigh, “A friendly greeting to your old friend. But, Khanza, are you sure you want to fight me half-and-half like that?” said stammered. Red rays emerged from all over his body, giving rise to a gripping aura of darkness,
“You can die, know?”
Suddenly Adrammalech disappears and appears behind Khanza. His fist was curled around red daggers that were spinning quickly, and with a powerful punch he struck Khanza to the ground, cracking the entire floor of the room and crumbling.
Very quickly, even my body could not see his movements!
Suddenly black ice emerged from the ground, forming a root that meandered in pursuit of Adrammalech. Agilely, the Witch avoided the ice, even using it as a pock for her to dart and slam a punch in Khanza's stomach that threw her into the sky.
Adrammalech put his hands together, summoned 12 giant swords on his back and pointed them at Khanza. Fire came from the handle of the sword, blasted it like a rocket wanted to hit Khanza, but soon I repelled the attack with a twisted sword slash and returned it to Adrammalech.
“Raven Style 05: Reversal Talon!” my yelling.
The twelve swords rained down on the man's body fiercely, while I caught Khanza and landed quietly. Khanza hugged my neck and looked surprised, “Waah, Chrysant, without magic, you turned out great too huh.”
“U-Ugh, I'm a Pathfinder. Although without magic, Chrysant must find a way of hope for mankind,” said I who also took Khanza from my sling, then took back my second backup sword from virtual storage.
A red electric shock is seen from behind the dust. Rising from the rubble of the floor, Adrammalech stood with a body full of wounds that shed blood. His mask broke and showed a white-haired male figure with flaming red eyes, looking at Khanza and myself with a laugh.
“Truly, my hokiku is devastated...meet with a foul traitor and a damn Pathfinder who blocked my mission,” said Adrammalech who closed his book as his entire wound burned and healed instantly,
“But, fortunately, I didn't come here myself—“
With his black ice, Khanza protected me from a bullet that was aiming for my heart. But the attack was just the beginning. From the sky, huge robots appeared that floated with their blue wings that dazzled the eyes. They were all carrying magic rifles in their hands, aiming at Khanza and myself, gathering huge magic energy at the end of his weapon. And in the middle of the robot team, sat a woman with long white hair, complete with a mask of her skull that impregnated the number VII.
“The Seventh Lector, Asmodeus.. Gawat nih Chrysant, if facing two Lectors, Khanza can not protect you,” said Khanza who called his second ice spear.
I also put up my horses, “Ha? Said someone who just beat me up a week ago. Oh, my God, don't worry. I can take care of myself,” I said.
“As the highest Pathfinder in this terrain, I, Desert Lion, hereby propose an emergency mission. Pathfinder Nadja, Pathfinder Chrysant.. Remove White Order from our land!” khanza's memory unleashed her magic power to make the entire room freeze.
“The Hunt begins!” I shouted to Adrammelech.
Slash after slash I slashed at Adrammelech, but the man nimbly dodged my attack and brushed it off with seven swords charging at him. Secretly, I glued my mirror crystals at various angles of Adremelech. I jumped to avoid the deadly combination of attacks, before using it as a foothold to dart and hit the Witch.
Almost Adrammelech dodged my attack, but my sword sliced his neck. The blood flowed so much that it made Adrammelech jump backwards. But with his magic, he could heal his wounds instantly.
“Your ability is good too, little girl. Similar to the unlucky Pathfinder fighting style that defeated me ten years ago. The Morning Star,” said the man who folded his hands in annoyance, “But, did you also underestimate me? You think without the magic you stole from the White Order, a lowly human like you is able to defeat Adramelech, The Devoring Darkness!?”
Cool also his nickname— No, Chrysant do not fail to focus!
The sword darted from the ground almost to the point of breaking, but the dozens of other swords following me overwhelmed me. U-Ugh, one sword managed to scratch my waist, leaving a deep enough wound. Utilizing my negligence, Adrammelech stuck many swords around me, effectively limiting my wiggle room.
“Goodbye, poor little girl,” she said who summoned two giant golden spears that spun rapidly, darting at me.
“Activate: Chrysanthemum Garden!” my screams that entered the mirror and avoided the deadly attack, then shot from behind the Witch and slashed her back many times.
“T-Fucking mouse!!” adammelech yelled in annoyance, took his imaginary sword and slashed at me, only to find myself lost in a world of glass.
Without mercy, I slashed the man many times, from various angles, cutting his tendons so that he could not heal himself. Until the moment the man fell helplessly, I also exerted all my strength .. then in one slash beheading the Witch.
“The Hunt..ended,” my murmur plummets the blood of the man from my sword. Adrammelech's body fell lifelessly on the floor, with the Robots falling from the sky and exploding around me.
It seems like the Khanza fight is over. With her brother, Khanza sat on top of the Blue Tower, clutching Asmodeus' head, around the fiercely burning flames.
“As an old friend, I'll let you go just this once. However, if you dare to disturb Chrysanthemum again. Khanza will take your lives,” said Khanza who let Asmodeus fall to the floor.
I'm out of deed. The entire army of powerful robots was able to destroy Khanza without a single shred of sweat. The power of the Witch is beyond my imagination. I am grateful that I am on the same side as Khanza.
Asmodeus called the portal with his Automachina. And at the same time, suddenly Adrammelech's body stood up to pick his head and attach it to his body casually. G-Geez, my heart feels like it's going to take a look.
“Fight was so fun, little girl. I never thought a High Witch like me would be trapped by a child's trickery and lose one of my life,” said Adrammelech, who recovered from the moment.
The man looked down respectfully at Khanza and said, “Today, we will withdraw. But remember this, Khanza. We will return to save His Majesty from the evil grasp of Black Company.”
Together the two Witches disappeared behind the portal which was then closed. Khanza jumped down from the tower and breathed ice that extinguished all the burning fire there.
“... Are you sure you took off those two Lectors? They'll be back again,” my question.
Khanza took off his skull and smiled, “Our mission is to sign the White Order from this city, but not to kill them,” he said who looked at the blue tower and continued,
“And also, in front of The Warden.. Khanza does not want to show how the people he loves ... now kill each other.”
… Again, I can't understand Khanza. My meeting with the White Order now confirms my guess. Khanza was once a Lector, the High Witch who led the White Order. But why is he now siding with the Black Company?
"Are you humanity's ally or its greatest enemy, Khanza?" my many.
Khanza ruffled my hair with anxiety, "Ih, seriously the question, so serem Khanza. Hihahi. But Khanza is not both. Khanza just wants to keep this tower from people who will abuse it.
That's... Khanza's last promise to The Warden."
