The day was already near noon and the change of patrol location was carried out. Where Slatanis had previously patrolled the deepest part of the village, he was now alternately asked to patrol the westernmost part of the village.
Slatanis began walking towards the post on the west side.
‘Shade, ask Shade who follows Lilith and Raphaela about their catch,’ Slatanis said through telepathy commanding Shade behind his shadow.
‘Understand Nyonyaku,’ Shade said by the same method.
'And also, did you get any news from Bellwyne's palace?' ask Slatanis.
'not yet. But right now they are still discussing the way out, Shade replied.
'I could have destroyed the waldengrace right now, let alone given that Bellwyne's current situation could have been due to my reckless actions. But that action would definitely trouble me later in the future if I acted directly to kill the waldengrace family in order to stop them from taking control of me. Given that this is the real world and not like games, every action I take will have an impact on many fronts. So instead of letting my brain figure out a way that I have no experience at all in the twists and turns of politics, war and drama in aristocratic circles, then I'd better leave it to those who are more experienced, ' thought the slatanist as he continued to walk towards the western post.
'And 'And also, at once I want to test how well my accomplice in solving the problem.' He continued to daydream and think in his mind.
Before long, while Slatanis was still making his way to the west post, Shade whispered through telepathy again with news from Lilith and Raphaela.
‘Wahai Nyonyaku, Lilith and Raphaela are currently on the edge of the forest southwest of Neverhive, and they are currently waiting for you.’.
‘Alright,’ said Slatanis walking into the corn garden. Then among the high corn plants, Slatanis also used a spell [concealment] - it and then used [fly] magic to fly.
‘Fuhh let's start to be careful by using concealment first, before events like in bellwyne palace reoccur,’ he thought as he began to take off.
‘Alright, now show me the place,’ Slatanis said.
‘Good, Mistress Ku,’ Shade said.
At high speed and with an invisible body, he started flying at high speed. After that, because the type of spell [concealment] is an active type that can drain the Mana until it runs out, then he deactivates it when it is at a sufficient height.
Not an hour later, he reached the edge of the forest while under it there were thousands of soldiers who had died laying down. Among the corpses were seen Lilith and Raphaela standing while both of them were still killing some of the surviving soldiers very sadistically.
‘What are they doing?’ Slatanis asked through telepathy while staring with a calm expression.
‘They have let some of the ones who are still alive for you, Nyonyaku,’ Shade replied.
Slatanis landed near the two of them.
“Baginda, you have arrived,” said Raphaela kneeling.
“Ah, Madam, check this out!” Lilith said as she threw a Soldier with a severed head, then walked towards the few soldiers who looked unconscious not far from her.
“So, they are the ones you have prepared? Didn't I just ask for one?” Ask Slatanist.
“True, but we do not know for sure your taste, because we found they have a young age and after interrogation even they have no family,” said Raphaela who is still kneeling.
“Register Raphaela,” orders Slatanis gently and Raphaela stands aloud. “Then what happened to the others?” Further asked.
“They see us, and we can not let it. we were careful what you say so as not to be seen by anyone, but we are, but we didn't expect that there would be this many soldiers watching. So instead of them spreading rumors about us while we only needed one person, we decided to keep them quiet,” clearly Raphaela while looking at the soldiers who have been killed horribly and scattered. “And another reason why we killed them all is because, they are not warriors of the houlus nor of the four dukes,”.
Meanwhile, Lilith was busy gathering the corpses into her inventory as meat supplies.
“Hmmmm, okay,” said Slatanis glanced at the two in turn, which then appeared silence for a moment.
“If they are not from Houlus, then where are they from?” Ask Slatanist.
“Eclea,” Said Lilith as she lifted the kite shield from among the pile of corpses. “And also, this region has entered into the Efrana region, hmmm what are they doing in Efrana?”
Slatanis saw the symbol and remembered the day he stopped and returned to the small forest to hide with Lilith as he saw thousands of soldiers with unknown banners marching, before finally summoning Raphaela and going towards Fishsyre.
“During at Fishsyre I have studied many of their symbols and banners, and since I was in Fishsyre I have known that thousands of soldiers I saw at that time were soldiers from Ecela when viewed from their banner,”, said Slatanis began to approach Lilith, then grab the shield. “What kind of conspiracy are they doing in Houlus?” He muttered while casting water magic to wash the shield from blood and flesh fragments.
“We better just ask them,” said Lilith pointing towards 20 unconscious soldiers. “I can use my hypnosis to them, if you want.”
“Ah, If you are wondering, I used the skill [Angel’s Stand] to scare them, while saying ‘do not be afraid’ to them in the hope that they are not too scared and have a heart attack, but they're asleep instead. Though my intention is only to make them weakened and paralyzed,” said Raphaela.
“And they even fainted and were likely also paralyzed?” Ask Slatanist.
“Maybe,” says Raphaela.
“Can you wake them?” Ask Slatanis back.
“Sure, Sire,” said Raphaela and began to approach the 20 soldiers.
He suddenly took out six relatively transparent, glowing white wings, each of which contained numerous spies attached and looked very threatening. Then Raphaela looked up. After looking up, his mouth suddenly widened, far exceeding the width of his mouth. He opened his mouth and began to scream.
Yooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Wooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang! Wooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
The screams sounded very loud. The voice of the cry was extremely loud like the cry of despair, and it boomed like the trumpet of war. The sound was so loud that the ground around him began to shake. As the cry continued to sound, the wings behind him also shook with the eyes mounted on his wings also began to glow.
Slatanis who watched and listened to it also felt that he was ... for the first time as a succubus felt a deep fear as if he wanted to run away from that place. Her ears were as if they were broken, and her skin seemed to tremble. But he could still hear, and his body felt firm as if the fear was just beginning to disappear.
‘If it wasn't for the Holy Element Nullification of my Prophetess class, I might have already escaped from this place while my skin started to melt,’ thought Slatanis.
“Lilith!” Shouted Slatanis approaching Lilith. “Drink this!” he continued while taking out the Potent Healing Potion from his Inventory.
‘I cannot cure him with my [potent heal] because he has physical energy in the form of dark energy,’ thought Slatanis.
Lilith started drinking the potion.
“Daemon Very sensitive to this skill,” Lilith said while Raphael's screams began to stop. “If I am not mistaken, this skill is named ...”
“Raphael’s Roaring Of The Dooms,” Raphaela said as if confirming first. “And this is my special ability from my Legendary race called Seraphim.”
Raphaela turned to look at the 20 Warriors who had awoken in a state of wide-eyed staring, but remained paralyzed. Seen in their eyes was a gripping feeling that seemed as if they had not seen and heard before.
“I deliberately use it while looking up so that your body is not destroyed,” Raphaela said to them while looking down on them, even though they were already very scared. “Do not be afraid,” he continued while to his six wings are very horror he has not closed.
“Close your wings first, just say it,” Lilith said while standing. “Fuhhh, fortunately Madam is near me. Although my health did not decline significantly, but still the pain that makes me not bear.”
“Ah, forgive me,” said Raphaela looking at Lilith, then gazing at the 20 Soldiers still gripped in fear. “I will close my wings again, so do not be afraid,” he continued while above them, the clouds and the sky seemed to have been hollow.
Slatanis began to ask the twenty Soldiers before finally taking out their white essence using Lilith's [Mind Reflection] and putting it into some Vials left from within his Inventory for backup, and also drink essence that does not come directly from the source.
From the interrogation held, a little information was obtained from them which point is that they are not soldiers from Eclea but a combination of soldiers Duke Winston and also the Templars from Solem. For the purpose of why this regiment was formed, they only knew that they were being ordered to patrol around the Efrana region as well as near the border region of Bellhaven.
After getting that information, and also after filling himself up and also keeping the reserves for more than a year, the soldiers were already looking very dry, he said, Slatanis orders Lilith and Raphaela to kill them and burn them, while some of them are taken by Lilith to reserve food for her.
After getting what he wanted and a little information from the 20 soldiers who barely knew anything about their mission, Slatanis flew back to the west post in the same way as before along with Lilith and Raphaela who had re-entered his Inventory.
********************
On the west side of the village there is one hamlet that focuses on managing wheat farming, while nearby, not far north of the hamlet is another hamlet that focuses on raising sheep. While Samuel, working in the hamlet as a foreman sheep farmer.
Then arriving at the western post, Slatanis immediately exchanged places with some militias that were there. While Slatanis as a witch who until now is still considered as a witch of the elite forces, counted as equivalent to 20 militias. So, he also exchanged places with several militias in the western post.
“Ah, Miss Slatanis, please— keuh— please forgive me,” said one of the militias who crossed paths with Slatanis while running leaving her with a sweaty face suddenly.
‘Hmmm, it seems like my [charm of succubae] is active because my aphrodis is already quite reduced, and it seems that he is being exposed to those effects quite strongly, even though I am not teasing him at all,’ thought Slatanis while looking.
In the western post, there are several wooden watchtowers that are about 8-10 meters high with a considerable distance, but not far enough for the towers not to be seen from other towers.
Slatanis then went up to the guard tower post that had been given to him, then sat on a long bench above the tower.
A while later which was before noon the weather was very bright, suddenly the fog began to cover the fields in front of him. This fog is coming from the west. So it appears that some of the militias in the other tower were immediately shouting to tell the farmers to get out of the wheat garden. While Slatanis who realized it immediately stood up from his long bench and began to stand by.
“Nona Slatanis! Get ready!” Shouted a militia from another tower.
“Good!” Slatanis.
They began to wait for the fog to get closer.
“This incident has happened even though it only happened once, which is around in the beginning of the attack!” Shouted the militia from another tower. “So, we already know this must be their act.”
“These fogs,” said Slatanis while the mist began to creep higher again. Eventually the fog began to cover the top of the tower.
“Mana ... I can feel the Mana from behind these mists,” Slatanis said with a sharpened gaze as the mist began to touch her skin. “No... Not only that, it looks like these fogs are one of the spell as well. I can really feel it.”
“It looks like the monsters are marching behind this mist, Madam, and one of them seems to be able to create this much mist,” Lilith said.
“Let me out, Sire, I want to help you,” Raphaela said.
“No, just wait inside,” Slatanis said.
‘You guys I want to test my real ability if confronted by a lot of enemies,’ thought Slatanis.
“If this much fog is spell, it means he has abundant Mana. And if this mist is a spell, it means this mist can be undone,” Slatanis said as he felt the fog start to touch his skin.
Slatanis extended her hand.
“Let's start from low-level dispel first,” says Slatanis, “[Lesser Dispel]!”
Vhuuuusss!
The shockwave produced by Slatanis' palm suddenly dissipated the entire fog that was in front of him.
“As I thought,” Slatanis said. “[Eagle Vision]!” And his eyes glanced far to the west.
It was seen that hundreds of thousands of monsters that resembled various types of beasts were already preparing to run and ambush with their shuffles. And among those monsters, there was one monster that was the biggest and stood tall. Slatanis could clearly see the huge green monster, and the monster's face was shocked.
“I have to get close to them, rather than wait for them to get here,” Slatanis said and started using his [fly] spell and flew towards the monster at high speed.
