City Of Witches 630

Chapter 630 – #128_Labyrinth

#630

One.
First of all, I drove the car carefully so that Master, who had fallen asleep, would not wake up, and returned to the campsite.
As soon as I got off the jeep, many eyes were drawn, so it was very burdensome.
Fortunately, I didn’t actively talk to everyone, although everyone was absorbed in my work.

There are not a few types of witches who sleep.

However, this place is in the middle of the desert where the outcasts are camped 100M in front of this world.
Whether they have the guts to sleep peacefully in it, they poke a bonfire with a branch or spend a quiet time reading a book.

When the demon of the labyrinth appears, Master acts as a referee as scheduled.
The rest will have to compete with the witches shown here.

“Well, that will work.”

It’s hard to say that I’m confident, but I’m not pessimistic that I won’t be able to compete at all.
Since then, I have been growing very hard.

Master also acknowledged that being a 20th-ranked archwitch was easy, so I was thinking that Della on this side and the ‘Queen of Mercury’ on the other side might be serious competitors.

Of course, since the ability of the devil in the labyrinth itself is to create a labyrinth as the name suggests, there may be some luck factors depending on how well you find the maze.

Anyway, I was controlling my mind saying ‘no problem’ while maintaining a moderate level of tension.
The real problem came out of nowhere.

Even when dawn breaks, the day is bright, everyone hides in the shade to avoid the scorching sun, and evening comes again.
No change.

At this point, a voice came out from among the witches who were nervously preparing for battle.

“Hasn’t time passed?”
“Wait a little longer. Because the time of the prophecy was quite vague.”
“It’s not even night yet. It will come out in a little while.”

According to the prophecy, the demon of the labyrinth was scheduled to appear tonight through the night.
However, even after night fell and passed midnight, the demon of the labyrinth did not appear.

“Maybe the numerology students misinterpreted it?”
“Under…. There is nothing going on.”
“Check the original text of the prophecy again.”

Waiting for an ambiguous promise is more nerve-wracking than waiting without an appointment.

The witches, who had been running excitedly thinking of their own honey, gradually became annoyed in anxiety that the prophecy might have gone wrong with the competitor they suddenly encountered.

Because it is such a remote area, a considerable opportunity cost was consumed just to come here.
In that situation, when things get twisted, resentment naturally erupts.
A commotion broke out on both the side of Gehenna and the side of the exile.

“I want to go.”
“Looks like I will never believe in prophecies again.”

In the end, by the time the prophesied deadline had passed three days, about a third of them had packed their belongings and left.

Among them was Della.
In the first place, she was handling the request to subdue the homunculus, moving around the location point branches around the world on a pretty tight and hard schedule.

Even though she knew that it was her excessive power that tied her up here, the reason she sat down was to serve as a weight, and since Duke Tipperette took over that role, she was able to digest the next schedule. Had to leave for

“Duke Tiphareth, I’m sorry for leaving you with a troublesome role.”
“I have nothing to apologize for. Anyway, this is what I was looking for. Leave the rest of this to me.”
“I wish you no luck.”

Della bowed her head and left without saying her general greetings to Siu.
Rather than saying there was something I didn’t like, it was clear that I didn’t know how to deal with it.

However, that was Siwoo’s point of view, knowing the context, and his teacher must have looked very strange.

“Has anything happened?”
“We had a fight before.”
“Is it? But the other day, it didn’t look so awkward.”
Haha….”

Siu evaded the answer for Master’s honor.
She tilted her head slightly, but she immediately agreed and asked.

“What are you going to do?”

It was unclear whether the homunculus would appear or not.
There was no reason for Shiu Roh to stay here to pay off her debts.

“If Master is here, he should be here.”

However, even for the safety of Eloa and her witches, it is difficult for her to leave this position, and Siu has no other options.

“If this situation continues for a day or two, won’t the other witches also disperse?”
“He is too, but…. It’s because I’m sorry to waste your time.”
“You take up your time. It’s time to spend with Master.”

Unlike the day of arrival, there was no time for Eloa and Siu to form a relationship.
This was because there was a possibility that a homunculus would suddenly appear.

Therefore, it is only three days that she has been alerted to her senses without even getting a decent rest.
Still, feeling grateful to her disciple for saying so, Elroa grabbed his hand tightly.

“Siwoo, can I kiss you now?”
“Master? When other people see….”
“It’s okay. You won’t see it here.”
“If that’s the case, wow… !”

Hiding in the shadow of the jeep, the two had a silent kiss time.

2.
At that time, there were three achievements in a sand dune overlooking the campsite.

The achievement from Clifford, ‘Sword Witch’ Rinne, who had a meeting with Dorothy, Bianca, and Clech.
Ea Sadal Melik, the ‘Witch of Aquarius’ who killed Bianca and dedicated her Alco Riza Family to the Lotus to regain her powers.
And Lilith, the ‘witch of whispers’ who prepared all these places.

Ea smoked her cigarette with cool eyes and was contemplating something with her.

Short black hair that falls over her shoulders.
Sharp eyes reminiscent of birds of prey and red eyes that shine as if cursed.

Wearing her black dress and burning ashes with her languid gestures, she could not function as a witch, and there was no image of her defeated loser.

“Hmm…. Is this wrong now?”

In her hand, a transparent lotus flower, as if made out of glass, is shining with a desperate red light.
Originally, it was a lotus flower that shone in a beautiful iridescent color like a prism.

It was a pity.
If he had worked a little harder, standing on the same level as Duke Erillim would not have been a dream.

Ea not only regained her powers.

By sacrificing Bianca’s brand and 10,000 members, he recovered to the existing 21st hierarchy, and did not stop there, pioneering the 22nd hierarchy.
In fact, it was not surprising given that Ea had the 22nd rank right before her eyes before her rank was lowered at the cost of her reincarnation cocoon.

However, this lotus flower was no ordinary item.
It’s a miracle that was built up by obsession with obsession.

It is an item that far surpasses the realm of her courtesy as well as normal artifacts, to the point that even the current Ea cannot properly grasp its potential.

By sacrificing only a few hundred little witches and five archwitches, he made it ridiculously easy to overcome the wall of the 23rd hierarchy, which I thought would be impossible to overcome in my lifetime.

Of course, it was not an achievement achieved simply by the existence of lotuses.
The turmoil of the world, the absence of Kether, and the cooperation of the Witch of Whispers were a golden opportunity.

It was the Whisper Witch who reached out to Ea, who had regained her powers to some extent.

Although Lilith is obviously untrustworthy, she is a master of concealment and deceit, enough to keep her life alive while earning the grudge of many for over a thousand years.

Ea, who received her help, smashed her 5 location point branches, found and killed witches hiding all over the world, but did not enter the full-scale pursuit network even once.

In addition, Keter, who would have set out to punish such unreasonable human sacrifice in the past, was also able to unfold freely in the absence.

“What do you think about it? Are you still waiting?”

Ea, sitting leisurely under the shade, and Lilith flirting beside her.
Unfortunately, she was copying Bianca’s appearance.
Even trivial habits and ways of speaking are perfectly expressed, so my stomach is often twisted.

“If you work hard and live like that, can you even make rice cakes while sleeping?”
“What are you talking about? I even prepared a table like this for you. Are you still not ready to put a spoon on it? At this rate, the prey will gradually run away.”

At Lilith’s words, Ea glanced at the camp again.

This is a picture entirely created by Lilith.

Interpret her prophecy before anyone else and subdue the demon of the labyrinth.
Preoccupy the labyrinth, the magnetic magic of the demon of the labyrinth, and the magic that allows you to freely place the complex barriers like a maze.

Sprinkle false prophecies and gather her witches together.
After that, it was a very plausible plan to isolate her witches who gathered in her rice cakes in her labyrinth and eat them one by one.

Ea’s biggest worry lately is that the number of prey has decreased.
Ea and many other exploits and outcasts were active, and the witch without her citizenship hid even more tightly, and all the witches with citizenship were locked away in Gehenna.

However, with this method, it is possible to gather dozens of witches together and defeat them individually over time.
The level of witches who come to this wasteland and desert to subdue is obvious, so you can see her quite stable.

So, wouldn’t Ea and Rinne, who was caressing the sword with a bloody expression beside her, willingly follow suit?

“It’s a table….”

But this is a bright apricot.
At least it was clear when Duke Tiphareth joined them.

“Isn’t there Tiphareth who bullied you over there? You gained strength after a long time, how about a revenge play? Or even a disciple next to him. Being the first male witch would be a good harvest, right?”

Obviously, Tiphareth was a truly hateful opponent who pursued Ea as if to kill for the revenge of the witch apprentice.
Also, the first male witch of Gehenna, Shen Siu, is the child of Horo, who raped her and took away her loom.

And Ea Sadalmelik was able to wield more power than ever before.

I was feeling a blazing desire in front of a man who would not be enough even after chewing it several times.
The sweet fruits of vengeance drip honey right in front of you, how can it not be tempting?

“Because Rinne decided to deal with Tiphareth anyway. You just have to take care of the disciple. Isn’t it possible enough just by manipulating the labyrinth? Rinne, right?”
“…….”

However, this approach does not suit the ‘hunter’ Ea Sadalmelik.

Ea smiled and brushed off her thoughts.
She stands up from her chair and turns her back to Lilith, her suitcase slung over her shoulder.

“I will go. Have fun at the party.”
“What are we going to do?”
“Yes? I think I said it right. Enjoy yourself, I’ll go.”
“This is different from the promise. Do you know who thanks you for being able to work like this until now?”
“So, I’m not trying to kill you right now.”

Looking back at her, Lilith, who looks just like Bianca’s bitch, stands with her hardened face.

“Witch of Whispers. I hate old stories because they’re boring, but I’ve heard and seen a lot of boring stories about you. Witches with you are always screwed up in the end.
I didn’t understand that before, but now that I’ve worked with you, I understand.”

Lilith was resourceful enough to give her goosebumps.
With her assistance alone, she made the difference between walking on her feet and clinging to her train in every task.

The witches playing tricks were not stupid.
She must have just missed the timing to jump off her train, lured by the sweetness of her whispers.
However, there must be a cliff at the end of which the track is cut off.

“But at the critical moment, you play a very nasty trick. I just thought it was now.”

As soon as Ea’s words were finished, Lilith put on a big smile.

“I thought we were good partners…. There is a difference of opinion on this point.”

Paradoxically, no emotions can be felt in the smile, as if all the embarrassment was acting.

“Someday I will kill you too with my own hands. A lot of secret releases.”

As if Ea’s reaction was as planned, she raised her middle finger to the laughing Lilith and turned her back.
