The World's Strongest Witch Becomes Unemployed

Chapter 25: On the Road

To get to the city it took two more days, in the darkness of the night we sat to warm ourselves in the fireplace while enjoying the cooked soup.

As for the merchants they were in another crowd with food that was fairly luxurious. They had offered us to join but we broke away further while checking around.

The reason is simple, that we are with the hero Fel who is said to have been invisible for several centuries.

If there was any news that the hero was seen in the human territory, it would be an uproar. Basically compared to me he's more loved.

Cosetta who just swallowed her food asked me.

"Well Rider, why do we have to go to the nearest town before we go south?"

It was natural for Cosetta who had never known the southern region in her lifetime to ask.

The northern and southern regions were actually divided into two parts, each region was cut by a wall separating the two, and this region was referred to as the Great Union Fort. Everyone needs permission to pass through it that's why it can only be obtained there."

"You mean this continent is split by a giant wall."

Cosetta showed interest.

"So, the wall was said to have been built by the entire population of the continent to limit the plague that was occurring in the southern region."

Fel added the conversation.

"At that time because of the lack of food every country began to fight, well the war will occur even though the reason is trivial even now. That's why I've been hiding myself, most people are asking me to join their army, I don't really like to kill people for no reasonable reason."

"With the existence of heroes in one country it is indeed a powerful weapon," Elina gave her opinion which got the nod of everyone's agreement.

Felsia took out a knife into her hand that felt a distant movement around us.

"There's some zombies hanging around here, I guess let me take care of them."

"As expected of the hero" I said praising.

"You're a hero too but you're lounging."

"I just want to live my life like that."

In an instant the figure of Fel disappeared replaced the leaves.

"Of course you can, as long as your hard training can do it."

"When my feet are like this."

"There's a similar magic but I'll say it when you're really trained" I cut it.

Cosetta puffed her cheeks.

"When I want to be strong soon."

"Magic isn't something that can be learned in a short period of time even some need to spend decades to learn a single spell."

"It's so annoying."

Since Fel left for too long I decided to catch up with him, on top of the branch I could see him who had killed many zombies by himself.

Their numbers are very large.

"You all right?"

"Of course, there are a lot of them, I think that near here there are some ruined villages or so on."

"That could happen, when zombies attack one village they can simultaneously increase their numbers and then attack other villages," I said taking a moment.

"From here let me take care of it, you go back and rest."

"You're mocking me, let's both get this over with."

I took a deep breath and created the sword in my hand that I gave Fel.

"If it's not as good as a holy sword, use it."

"It's pretty light."

I took out a black sword to start this fight, when at midnight we had just defeated all of them.

I also used holy magic.
