Chapter 13: The Forest of Witches

In the middle of the forest Elric was practicing swinging his sword at the tree trunk in front of him, while his two comrades were watching by sitting on top of the coffin.

"I think Elric should take off his shirt, from the book I read taking off his clothes makes people stronger."

"What kind of strange book did you read Namira?"

"A very useful book."

Mariella added.

"If we get to that place, what will happen to the woman in it."

"That's also what I want to know, even Namira just left out of curiosity" Elric replied.

"It's a great adventure, because that's why you should be excited.... Let's continue the journey again."

On the statement of Namira Elric only Mariella just obeyed without a word, on the side of the lush forest they arrived at a strange place, different from the forest before all the trees seemed to dry up and die, and the trees seemed to dry up and die, there was a mist scattered in all directions and from it a black shadow figure sprung up.

The figure resembles that of a human in general.

"We'd better go" said Elric, leading everyone away, on their way to meet a crowd of villagers who were searching for something.

"Three of you, did you enter into that witch forest," said one of the middle-aged men.

"No, we're trying to avoid it," the one who answered was Namira.

"Well, if you enter it, the curse will turn you into the undead."

"What do we not see?"

"They are villagers and travelers who want to find treasure in it, he said, buried there in a lot of treasure but we know it's just a lie."

"So, what are you doing in here?"

"We were looking for our children, when they suddenly disappeared this morning."

Elric asked Namira.

"Do you know anything?"

"There's a chance your children will be slaughtered by witches, if this is how I'm sure we should check out the witch forest."

"We're just ordinary residents, where it might be possible to defeat witches."

"We fought witches several times what if you paid us, look he's a spirit."

Namira holds Mariella's shoulder and shows her ears and tail.

"Only master can hold my tail."

"How, in return, you can pay us in return for money."

Everyone nodded in agreement while Elric's group returned to the location of the forest, within that fog they began to look for a way in, the shadows that were seen started to show themselves and what everyone thought they were were just zombies.

Elric's sword sliced through their necks, neatly, at the same time Namira sent out her punches capable of throwing entirely in all directions, for Mariella's wind blade's final attack to dismember them.

It would be best if one of them could use the fire element, unfortunately it was impossible.

The three continued on their way, on the sidelines of the journey they again faced with zombies until they reached a small hut.

There were voices of the children they kidnapped without waiting for Namira to break down the door and see the children being shackled, their hands held up by iron nails, besides they were still alive

The witch took the book from under her cloak to bring out the black mist, before she knew what had happened her body had split in two and fallen to the floor.

"I hate witches so much" said Mariella casually after sending her wind blades.

"We save them first."

"Good."
