City Of Witches 638

Chapter 638 – #129_Night City

#638

One.
“When are you coming?”

The silent witch glanced at the pocket watch hanging from the silver chain under her cloak and looked at the portal.
It was a means of escape from this desert and a portal to ‘Hexenacht’, which became a new home.

A sweat of nervousness broke out on his forehead.
The promised time was 5 minutes, but I didn’t think that I would fill the 5 minutes tightly.

By the way, who is the Sword Witch?

When Qliphort was at the height of his fame.
So, he was a strong man who made a name for himself even at the time when he might have won the war against Gehenna had it not been for Kether.
It doesn’t make sense that such a Rinne would at least waste her time with the first male witch.

She had been with the Sword Witch for quite some time, so she watched the battle scenes a few times.
She stole and suppressed the color of her opponent’s magic, and she herself became stronger in that space.
It is the strongest original pattern that no countermeasure comes to mind no matter how many times I think about it.

A silent witch who wondered who would deal with Rinne if not the Duke of Erelim, who is known as the highest ranking witch except for Keter at the present time….

She stopped watching
Duke Tiphareth, who calmly accepted Rinne’s fierce slash with the addition of the deadly witch and the silent witch’s pincer attack.

Of course, at that point, Linnaeus also had her energy left, but she was able to confirm that the strength of the duke, who had lost countless achievements, was by no means a lie.

If Duke Tiphareth, who had done his best, and Linnaeus, who had done his best, were to collide, there was a possibility that the fight would be this long.

“What should I be able to see?”

She is currently the Silent Witch who possesses the Artifact that keeps the Labyrinth alive.
However, since she is not familiar with how to use it, it is all the same that she cannot look inside it.

She only has 30 seconds left.
Around the time she was contemplating whether or not to remove her body through the portal first.

“Get out quickly.”

Rinne walked out, tearing through the space cut off by the labyrinth.
A bloody man dangling drooping from her shoulder.
As expected, it seems to have been brought in by overpowering it.

“Why are you so late? I almost went first.”
“Something unexpected happened.”
“Something out of the ordinary? Well, that’s okay I wish you would have come.”

She is the silent witch who mentally floated the bag containing the three witches she had easily picked up a moment ago.
She discovered something belatedly.

“Uh?”

It was Rinne’s right arm, which was drooping motionless.
At the end of it, drops of blood are dripping.

Because she was dressed in black, she hadn’t noticed.
Her injuries were not so great as to cut her fingertips, but were so great that her undressed arm was drenched in blood.
He uncovered the man. It was in the opposite direction from her top, and it seemed to ooze from the inside, so at least it wasn’t bloody.

“What happened? Were there other witches?”
“…….”
“No way…. You under heaven are like this. Have you been very careless?”
“… Talk too much.”

It’s careless.
That’s absurd.

Rinne recalled the skirmish a while ago.
A man who has been provoking a head-to-head match without fear and without showing any tricks.

It is a foolish choice to confront an opponent who is preparing a counter with common sense.
Nevertheless, Rinnae willingly accepted her provocation and went on with her full power.
Because that was the way she had been fighting.

The result is this.

It wasn’t a direct hit, but I was hit in the shoulder at the same time in the process of slashing.

If it’s just a little too late….
For instance, if his left arm hadn’t been strangely duller than the rest, he might have been stabbed in a more lethal place.

If so, what would have happened?
Could Rinne’s sword even then break through the hard armor and cut through the carotid artery?

His heart races
A feeling I hadn’t felt in a long time.
The moment of competition that is as dizzying as the fine hairs all over the body stand on end at the same time in the moment of intersection.
Who else but Tiphareth could give Rinne such an experience?

“…….”

At best, he thought it was bait to lure Tiphareth out.

A man trained directly by Tiphareth.
Such strength for a subject who had just become a witch.
It may be more useful than you think.

“Go back.”
“What’s so late….. Is the preparation already over?”

The Silent Witch and Rinne each took their loot and entered the portal.

2.
With the absence of Duke Keter, who was in charge of order in the witch society, the tide is changing.

The exploits rampaging in all directions, the outcasts taking advantage of the confusion and being reborn as public figures, the location points being attacked, and the witches being subjugated by united witches.

Thanks to that, the outcasts who had no intention of doing anything wrong gathered around the location point, and the witches who were out in the present world returned to Gehenna.

However, it was not only the witches belonging to Gehenna and Witch Point that moved to prepare for this chaos.
Exiles and exploits of other tendencies were also preparing movements in preparation for the new situation.

No matter how vortex it is, it has its own pattern, and so far, the witch society has been maintained like order in chaos.

If Kether, the greatest axis of the order, could no longer move, the chaos so far would be nothing but the beginning.
Sooner or later, great changes will come that will be incomparable to what has happened so far.
This is because everyone has an intuition that the law of the weak and the weak is not the only answer as before.

‘Hexenacht’ is also part of that preparation.

The idiots were weeded out, and only the elite members of Qliphoth reunited with the goal of preparing for change.

In order not to fall out of the inflection point of history.
On the contrary, in order to ride the torrent of change and be reborn as a new ‘rule’.
They put an end to their previous antagonism and built their own society by creating a huge pocket space like Gehenna.

This structure guarantees some degree of safety.

This is because the public forces, which were often defeated individually, can unite in one place and prevent subjugation.
It is for the same reason that even Duke Tiphareth could not earn a plausible major in South America.

Why hasn’t this obvious idea been implemented yet? It was simple, if you ask me.
The idea is simple, but realization is difficult.

Even Gehenna, which has existed for a long time, is a yard where big troubles or accidents occur like annual events.

It is self-evident what would happen if the achievements of ‘really anything’ were gathered for the sake of magic.
Also, even if you gather those witches in the middle and say, “Let’s get along well from now on,” There’s no way they’ll listen.

To reconcile these troubles, Qliphoth controlled Hexsenacht in two ways.

I don’t care what happens ‘outside’.
However, the city is viewed as a perfectly neutral area, and when it causes chaos, Qliphort moves and disposes of it.

There is a safe zone controlled by the logic of easy-to-understand power.
This alone was enough to appeal to the non-citizen witch.

As a result, in just a few months, this Hexenacht, where notorious exploits from long ago, outcasts who completely entered the path of exploits with this confusion as an opportunity, or outcasts who had no hesitation in becoming a public figure, huddled together.

The expression of the city of night or the city of death or the demonic realm is indeed appropriate.

“But why am I here….”

Yebin Smyrna shed tears.
A room in the style of an old Japanese house with tatami mats.
Through the half-open window frame, only the dark night sky, which is never bright, can be seen.

In the open garden, cherry trees that do not lose all year round dropped petals to suit the taste of the landlord, but did not even look at it.
It was because it seemed that her own future would not be as bright as that night sky forever.

It’s obvious, but I didn’t walk in on my own.
He was kidnapped and has been detained for several months.

If you think about it, how can you be such an awkward seller?

After attending medical school normally, she inherited the stigma from an outcast and became a witch.
Fascinated by the fact that diseases that cannot be solved by science can be cured, I have to follow my teacher to all kinds of conflict areas and do volunteer work.

But the ideal fell far short of reality.
The predecessor Smyrna looked fine on the outside, but inside she was a mad doctor.

She felt resentful of her ancestors, who viewed humans as little more than tools for her experiments, and wished to use her witch powers to help many people, she thought… Only.

Even after inheriting her true stigma, Ye-bin, who has no plausible combat skills compared to her rank, had no choice but to choose a reclusive witch who lives in the polar regions.

Proper research is impossible, but it is also impossible to contribute to society.
For a while, there was no way to do anything but wasted time.
A dramatic opportunity has arrived.

The countess Zemanai requested treatment for a human man on the condition of immunity from exile.
My name is Siwoo Shin.
He was a great man who had mastered magic in a male body and had thwarted evil exploits for an apprentice witch.

“Awesome in many ways… It was great….”

Well, well, whatever.

After the twists and turns of treatment, he set up a clinic in Taro Town with the support of the City Hall.

“Ah… Brilliant days I miss.”

Since then, every day has been a rewarding moment of self-realization.

She was even revered as a saint by supplying free medicine and treatment to citizens.
She felt a sense of self-efficacy incomparable to those days when she had to drink beer while watching Netflix in the snow.

Unfortunately, however, the city’s support budget was too short to solve all symptoms with magic alone.
This was not because her support budget was small, but because the science of magic itself was a money-sucking monster.

For example, if you use modern Western medicine for symptomatic treatment and symptomatic relief of asthma, it can be treated with one gold coin at most.
However, in order to respond to it with magic, at least a bag of gold coins had to be prepared.

Therefore, Ye-bin, who came to the present world to find medicine, unfortunately faced a monster she could not have imagined.

Sword Witch.

Ever since she lived in hiding in the present world, she knew Ye-bin, who memorized her official list in order to survive.

She is a battle fanatic who hates turning enemies even when she is confident in her skills.
A killer who can’t even count how many people he’s killed.
When I met him, I thought he died like this, but fortunately or unfortunately, he wasn’t killed.

However, they were brought to this Hexsenacht and confined in an antique mansion reminiscent of an old oriental house.

After that, they provided workshops and provided enough food to wear.
There was no suppression of freedom at all.

After thinking about it, it seemed that it was probably treated as a reserve potion.

However, no matter how well she is treated, it is a tragedy for Yebin who is trapped in a city full of achievements and dream trees.
She is waiting for the day when she finds an opening and escapes the city.

“I want it, I want it….”

However, she is Yebin Smyrna, a ‘healing witch’ who can only ‘cure’ even though she is a 19th tier.
Filming an espionage thriller in a city full of raw meat-eating witches in a situation that makes you sweat just by stepping out of this old house?
In the first place, it is unreasonable.

“Where the prince won’t come to save me….”

When I was complaining like that.

-Bang!
“Wow!”

With an open door as if it were about to break, a blunt witch who hadn’t had a decent conversation even though they’d been together for several months.
The landlord, Linne Samachiel, appeared.

“Doctor, follow me.”
“Yes?”

There was no time to really be surprised.
After all, she threw away her business and turned around.
Yebin, who had been lost for a while, followed her belatedly.

I followed her oddly hurried steps down the hallway full of her sliding doors.

– Dripping

Rinne opens the door and Yebin enters.
A man is lying on a soft mattress on the tatami mat.

“Cure. If you fail, you die too.”

It was Shin Si-woo with a pale complexion as if he would die at any moment.
