City Of Witches 439

Chapter 439 – #92_Wandering (2)

#438

One.
As soon as Siwoo sensed the change, he deployed his magic.

It was because the wave of magical power reflected in the golden left eye was so wild and uncontrollable that it was like seeing a natural disaster.

I couldn’t figure out exactly what the situation was, but I spread the ribbon and hugged as many citizens as possible and ran with Sharon.
The particles that landed like volcanic ash ate the occupied space itself, and the outrage stopped only when it reached the border of Taro Town.

“What is this?”

The boundary that shimmers as if separated by a barrier.
The scenery beyond the border was no longer Border Town where the riotous festivals were taking place.
Instead, distorted images and colors shimmer like a haze.
It reminded me of a world distorted by a capricious god.

Siwoo was aware of such a phenomenon.
The randomization of space that occurred when Bianca’s bow and Siwoo’s spear collided.

“Siouya, Amelia… ?”

Sharon was also embarrassed by the sudden situation.
However, Sharon heard the name he was chanting before this disaster happened.

Amelia Marigold.
A baron of Gehenna with the alias of the Perfume Witch, and a woman with a somewhat complicated past.
I didn’t ask in detail because Si-woo seemed to avoid mentioning her name, but I know that Si-woo was her exclusive slave and that there was an incident between the two.

My mind was too dazed to answer Sharon’s question.
I felt in real time what would happen when an incomprehensibly shocking event unfolded before my eyes.

Why is Amelia doing this?

In principle, large-scale magic within Gehenna without a barrier is prohibited.
Moreover, her magic had already poured out on thousands of citizens, and it did not stop there, but also distorted space.

I don’t know exactly what effect this space will have and what consequences it will bring, but if it is harmful to humans and a truly horrific disaster is taking place,
Amelia’s treatment thereafter can be easily predicted.

Designation of merit after expulsion.
Or summary execution.

Worst-case scenarios flashed through his confused head, and he remembered what he had to do right away.
The important thing now is not why.
How to prevent this incident with minimal damage.

Have to go in
If there are people alive in there, we have to rescue them, and if Amelia is there, we have to stop it right away.

“Sharon, I’m sorry. I’ll tell you later. I’ll be gone for a while now.”
“What? You want to go in there?”

Sharon was startled.
She immediately opened her arms to restrain Siu.

“No! Go crazy over there!”
“It’s okay, I’ve been through this before. It’s a randomized space.”
“Are you crazy? Does this just look like a randomized space?”

Sharon pointed her finger at the edge of her chuck.
She also helped rescue people and saw the magic pouring down her back.
It was stopping everything.
As if time had stopped, the people who were caught up stopped in place, and countless flowers bloomed on the dirt floor and on the stone walls.

The phenomenon was not simply a phenomenon occurring in a randomized space.
It is a large-scale magic newly established through an optimized system.
No matter how precious life is, Siwoo is more precious than that.
I didn’t want to let him go.

“I know.”
“I know what you’re going to do!”
“Let’s get some people out…. It has to dry.”

Sharon knows too.
If it’s Siwoo, he’ll head there just because there are people inside.
Furthermore, if an acquaintance who is clearly Siwoo’s ex-lover got caught up in some kind of accident, he would risk his life to save her.

However, what kind of demonic realm may be unfolding before this.
It would be like taking the first step into a labyrinth that might have been mixed with dangers.

“Siwoo-kun!”

At that time, a sharp voice called Siwoo in a loud voice.
I looked back and saw Count Albireo flying away with the hem of his skirt fluttering.

“Wait!”

A huge demon scene that suddenly appeared in Taro Town.
As it was Albireo who had been interacting with Amelia, he quickly realized who was doing this.
Because she is so unique in magic, a witch who has a relationship with her ancestors will be able to understand it right away.

“Count.”

Albireo saw Siu’s determined face and thought it was good that he rushed over.
He was stuck and almost lost his son-in-law.

“Don’t be rash. A meeting was called at the Tree of the Sephiroth. A number of nobles are discussing a solution.”

It was such a serious matter, and it was easy to grasp the situation as the witches of the highest rank in Gehenna had gathered.

“If I go in now, it won’t be of much use. I’m sorting out the patterns of Count Yesod and the randomized space. According to Count Kohab’s opinion, the randomization of space has stopped right now and it is in a state of stabilization.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It means that you can wait and see the situation a little longer and prepare a solid countermeasure before entering! So far, the results have shown that this space does not harm ordinary humans.”

Only then was Siu able to let go of the impatience that had risen to the bottom of her chin.
There is no direct harm to citizens.

That alone meant that the worst was averted.
Apart from the fact that there were no casualties, it meant that Amelia’s exploits were not confirmed.

“Then, how is it going? Count?”

Sharon also asked Albireo as she stroked her chest.

“Deneb, who attended instead of me, will tell you the outcome of the meeting, so please don’t go in blindly.”
“…….”

Siu put his cigarette in his mouth.
Her stomach hurts
It was because it was only after she had a little more time to relax that Amelia began to think about why she had done this.

She had a vague feeling that perhaps the cause might have been against herself.

“If there is a problem, we will prepare to enter right away.”
“Yes, I know the situation is embarrassing, but calm down for now.”

You need a red eggplant.
The reason Siwoo, who was unconscious in the past, was able to spread his magic and fly in the space of randomization was because he used the distortion field.
Also, if my sign language pattern is sorted out, he will be able to use magic more safely in it by using it like a map of the labyrinth.

Siwoo swallowed his saliva and looked at the other side of the boundary that was shimmering like a haze.

2.
There are only a handful of examples of how quickly and so many nobles have attended a council since Gehenna was created.
Within 10 minutes of the incident, no less than 20 barons and 4 counts responded to the summons.
Virtually all of the nobles residing in Gehenna.

Each of them is dressed in fancy clothes, probably enjoying a party, but all of them sitting around the round table have serious faces.
Although having to leave a party during a party was a huge nuisance, no one showed any signs of distaste.

For archwitches from aristocratic background, Gehenna is their hometown and place of life.
It means that everyone is paying keen attention to this unprecedented incident that came suddenly.

However, despite the large number of people gathered, the meeting did not proceed.
Only Count Yesod, who was sitting next to Deneb, was analyzing the pattern of random numbers sent out from the crystal ball every moment, making use of his specialty.

This is because the main character who hosted the meeting has not yet appeared.
The door opened through the needle-like tense air, and the witch everyone had been waiting for entered the venue.

– Again and again again

The unusually loud sound of heels in the conference room draws attention.
Long silky hair that stretched down to her waist and eyes as white as snow.

The president of the Society for the Name of Truth, the largest school in Gehenna, and one of only three dukes.
The high witch of the 24th hierarchy, Blanche Erelim.

She took her seat, accompanied by her closest aide, Countess Yvonne Coharve.

As much as she is a witch, she is flawless in her beauty.
However, the atmosphere is too heterogeneous.

Compared to other witches who gave off a more or less human appearance, Duke Erelim, even if he had breathed life into a wax figure, was not believably lifeless, and it seemed that mercury instead of blood flowed in his veins.
Sitting in front of the witches who were waiting for her, without changing a single expression on her face, she greeted them in a soft, yet still inorganic tone.

“First of all, I deeply regret that such an unsavory incident disturbed the great city of Gehenna amidst the chaos of outrageous exploits.”

At that first word, Deneb’s complexion hardened.
The Duke of Erelim is nothing short of expressing her own opinion with her single word, that it is an unsavory affair for her.
She’s already classed Baron Marigold as a potential danger.

“The reason for calling the meeting urgently is to gather your wisdom and discuss measures to calm the current unrest.”

And this was not just the individual opinion of the Duke of Erelim, but also the voice that could move the public opinion of the witches gathered here.

Just as capital is the root of power in this world, magic is fundamentally the foundation of power in Gehenna.
He existed as a witch even before Gehenna existed, and Duke Erelim, who reached the 24th hierarchy, had countless followers.
Just looking at this conference hall right now, more than a third belonged to her school.

Duke Erelim, who rolled his glass-like eyes and looked at the witch in her seat, immediately put her main argument into her mouth.

“Therefore, I stripped Baron Amelia Marigold of her title and exiled her. If you refuse or do not respond to the dialogue, we consider it public and suggest that you subdue it.”

At the same time, a tremendous chatter spread throughout the conference room.
