Heroes From Other Worlds Who Don't Like To Fight

Chapter 167: Archbishop of Vanitas

Finished collecting the herbs, Historia threw a little money into the pool then prayed while smiling lightly.

Souma who was beside him just followed.

"I want to continue with Souma even though we split up I want to be able to meet him once in a while."

"I thought you wanted to ask for something weird."

"Whispering, I suddenly changed my mind."

"so."

"I want to come back soon."

Souma just sighed softly while following him back to the city, after entering it all of a sudden Historia lost her balance and fell to the floor.

"Historia."

Souma hurriedly looked at him and the same thing happened to everyone around him.

"Everyone was asleep" at the same time a blow struck him in the face, causing him to be thrown into several houses before escaping from the city and then blasting the ground.

"Heh, even if I hit you like that you're still alive."

Out of the confusion Souma could see a man standing in front of him, he was wearing a white robe while smiling widely.

"Archbishop of Vanitas."

"You know me, I'm a little respectable. I heard my kids' business was disrupted by someone and I saw it was true."

Souma laughed before getting back up.

"An important person to see me in person in short, my whereabouts really are a threat."

"True, I've upgraded the Harmonia church so as big as I am now I won't let it fall back."

Vanitas stretched out her hand and about ten shadow hands came out from her then slid towards Souma.

"Hellfire's."

A huge explosion occurred and from the smoke billowing a hundred shadows were again raised.

There was no need to move from where he stood Souma slashed at him through the katana that suddenly appeared in his hand. The figure of Vanitas laughed out loud.

"Haha I've guessed you're not a figure who can be easily defeated, then."

Two giant hands suddenly appeared beside Souma who each of them tried to ambush him.

The two dealt a punch that Souma was able to withstand with his sword as well as his bare hands. The giant hand burned with black flames afterwards.

"Am I being praised?"

"Saddeningly, witches pretending to be archbishops then hunting down other witches is too ironic."

Vanitas smiled coldly and next to her face turned into a skull.

"You misunderstood something, what I killed was a fake witch."

"Fake magician?"

"Rather precisely the people who use magic because it was previously studied, witches are actually born with power even when they are babies and they are all cursed with bodies like this."

Vanitas' entire body turned into a whole skull.

Souma finally realized something, the concept of the witch he received in this world and the world he had previously encountered was different.

Then what is a witch? And why were they born?

Vanitas explained vaguely.

"All this happened because of Lugunica, he was one of the witches born from the dragon race because of his stupidity that said magic can be given to many people he started making many books and spreading them to all the world and giving his knowledge to the various humans and finally the fake witches popping up this much, I just want to eliminate them and make this world on its should to put the witches in the highest caste."

"Don't tell me that the witch hunt stopped because of a man named Lugunica."

"He challenged me to a fight but as I expected he couldn't do much, after receiving my attack I was sure he would die soon and his agreement with the seven Sage witches would be completely wiped out."

"I don't know what you're saying? But I'd better kill you."

Souma darted quickly, dozens of shadow hands caught him and with a single slash it was cut into hundreds of pieces.

Before his katana swung to behead Vanitas he stopped to see that Historia had been held hostage by a shadow hand.

"If you move a little the girl's life will drift, I don't want to do this but I have no choice because I need to recover myself from the previous fight against Lugunica."

"What do you want?"

"I just want you to stop selling drugs and even give them away, so the church of Harmonia will have a high position again."

"Give me a week then after that I will leave this territory, until then I will still sell my medicines."

"Agreed."

Historia is dropped while Vanitas walks past Souma with flesh and skin covering her back before disappearing completely.

Souma just glanced towards the sleeping Historia.

"Now I have to bring her back."
