Chapter 31: The Fire Witch

Arriving at their destination, the three hide in the bushes, they find several witches walking around the grounds of the house.

Elric took his rifle and shot them with ease, one by one their colleagues fell down without being able to find the culprit, simultaneously either Anita or Mariella jumped out crashing the remaining witches with their power.

Anita takes a punch on the face of her enemy to bounce in all directions while Mariella uses her power without obstacles.

The two of them finished it faster than Elric had imagined, as the three of them were about to open the door of a male magician appearing gallantly, unlike his subordinates who used books as an intermediary, not unlike his subordinates, the man could use magic directly.

The three retreated backwards as the man raised both flames in his hands.

Elric who had been curious long ago asked.

"It needs spirits to open the gate where how can you use mana without their help?'

"It's easy, first we contract with one of the spirits and then decide."

Elric's conjecture had been true but this is what he wanted to know.

"I heard that the spirit contract is very strict, without the consent of both parties it is impossible to cancel."

"Easy as it is, from the beginning we did make a contract for a moment, as I said after the gate was opened we immediately canceled the contract, of course we also gave them the rewards they wanted."

"What does the spirit want in living beings?"

"A body."

Unable to digest what the man said, Elric glanced at Anita.

"What does that mean?"

"Spirit also wanted to have a human-like body, but only a homunculus body could they use."

"Just right, we give them what they want and then we get the power too."

"My body also has a time limit, I collect mana to turn it into a body, when it has been exhausted then my body like this will fade, my body will fade, but if we use an artificial body we can live without having to rest to recover our energy."

So that's why Mariella sometimes disappears at night.

"Let's finish this conversation, I'm sure you guys want to take the girl unfortunately we won't let you take it anymore, what's going to be your opponent is me, Piro."

"Let's see who's far superior, you two go ahead.. Let me deal with it, "on Mariella's statement, Anita and Elric nod their heads in agreement.

Mariella darted forward, she created a blade of wind in her hand before facing off against Piro.

Piro reacted with it and then fired his fireball, of course Mariella's goal was to make his two colleagues can enter the building easily.

Mariella swiftly gripped both hands of Piro, while Elric and Anita passed by from next to her.

"You're waging for your friends, it's ironic."

"Who is waging, against you I've had enough."

"You're overconfident, get burned."

Piro's entire body turned into fire which made Mariella jump backwards keeping her distance, she glanced at her blistered hands. Even though his body was made from which he still felt pain.

"The greater the wind that blows the greater the fire that will be created, too bad you chose the wrong enemy miss."

"If not try where we know."

Mariella reached out her hand shooting blades of wind from there followed by a fairly large tornado, at the same time, Piro fires his fire at the tornado to turn it into a fire tornado so that it can turn its direction towards Mariella.

"I told you the wind only magnifies my attacks."

Mariella could only clench her mouth in annoyance and ran to avoid the attack.
