Chapter 54: The Mysterious Village

"I'll show you why the witch of greed is feared by many people" Anita added.

He put his hands together until the same time the ice spread around him creating a cold smoke that billowed into the air. Seeing that the fire demon immediately ran to target Anita's existence.

When the distance of the two of them was one meter away the entire demon body slowly froze quickly then the cold shattered it into small fragments.

Elric who was looking from behind could only shut up in admiration. The magic does not create a magic circle or neat as if Anita's body was born with magic itself.

The goddess Venus who had turned into a squirrel climbed onto Elric's back and said.

"It's not better we get out of here."

"It seems so," Anita replied before taking her coffin over the castle before jumping out where Elric was already waiting for her below.

Elric stroked Anita's head and together they continued their journey leaving the entire city guards confused.

"Hey Elric I want to eat meat, buy me that."

"You're the Goddess squirrel, meat doesn't suit you."

"I want meat anyway."

"It turns out you're so spoiled too, you better not listen to him Elric."

A few days later they arrived at a small village that looked deserted, the whole building looked well-preserved except that no one was inhabiting it.

Anita peeked into one of the houses and saw a warm meal served well there.

"It's strange," after muttering that, he asked Elric who had just checked the other house.

"How's it?"

"Nobody's anywhere, but strangely the food here looks freshly served."

When the two are confused, an old man appears, his body is short and slightly bent so he has to use a cane to help him walk.

"Who are you?"

"We're just travelers, we used to want to stay in this village unfortunately nobody lives."

"Not there, but not seen," getting the statement, a question mark appeared on both only the Goddess Venus who was still relaxed while biting a bean in her hand.

"Did something happen in this place?" ask Anita.

"Actually a few months ago this village had been hit by a witch's curse."

"Curse?"

"True, one day a woman came to this village.she was dressed like a woman in general but during the day we found an awkwardness, a, since he lived here many dead people were found in the surrounding forest, their bodies torn apart and their eyes gouged out of their bodies... the residents started blaming the woman until they locked her under the prison."

"What happened after that?" Elric and Anita waited for the man to answer.

The word that came out was something shocking.

"The woman disappeared from the cell, the whole village was sure no one had seen her out and since then people have gone unseen and they are only visible at night."

Anita was silent for a moment and asked the man to indicate the location of his prison, with the help of their torch up to a cell that was left open.

Anita touched every part of the wall and found a small circle made of blood.

The old man asked.

"What's that?"

"It's a magic circle, it's true that the woman is a witch but I doubt that she killed all the inhabitants who disappeared or instead she protected the villagers "

"How are you sure?"

"I've learned this in a book, this magic makes people just not seen during the day while at night they are back at the ready."

"But why?"

Anita glanced at a piece of paper on a table, she scavenged the stacked sheets and found a piece of paper that was deliberately placed at the very bottom.

There is a sentence written.

"Geezer."
