Chapter 154.1: Archwitch of Wetland VS High Priest of Fly And Maggot
TN: Kind reminder, don't read this chapter when you're eating! ===
◆Silver Witch; Kuna
Kuna returned to the skyship after the battle against Zaffrada.
Glorious and Guno had also returned to the ship.
Since the enemy had also retreated, a temporary armistice formed.
「Grrrrrr.」
Glorious looked worriedly at Kuroki who sat while meditating.
The same goes for Kuna.
But, Kuna believes. She believes that Kuroki won't be defeated by something like this.
「Kuna-sama. Are you sure we should take them with us?」Asked Guno while looking at the ghost girl and the vampire youth.
I have no idea why the vampire who was supposed to be Zaffrada's kin ended up backstabbing her.
Maybe he was just feigning his loyalty all along to betray her at the last minute. That was the only situation I could think of for the time being.
「It's fine. Let's see the situation for a while. He doesn't seems to be lying either.」
Though Kuna had no idea whether her ability to detect lies would work on non-living beings, Kuna felt they didn't seem to lie.
That's why let's watch the situation for the time being.
「Thank you for trusting us…」
The ghost girl expressed her gratitude.
Her name was supposed to be Ange. Alas, it's not like Kuna trusted her.
Kuna planned to kill her once she detected any sign of betrayal.
「It's no big deal. We have another urgent matter to attend to right now.」
Said Kuna as she looked at the sky above.
Two people above fought in the air, riding on the cloud.
One of them was a three-headed witch clad in a robe.
The other was a one-headed priest clad in priest vestment.
They were Heqat and Zalbuth respectively.
Both of them were powerful sorcerers.
Now, the battle of magic was about to begin.
「I never expected that the famous Great Mother of Witches-dono would come forward on her own. Alas, that's no reason for me to cut corners.」
「So you think that you can defeat this old hag huh, Son of Reaper? RibbitRibbitRibbit」
Zalbuth and Heqat exchanged such pleasantries with a light smile on their faces.
From Kuna's perspective, Heqat had the advantage.
Heqat was weak in frontal combat. She would be defeated for sure if her opponent was Kuroki, the Hero of Light, or Alphos.
Alas, I heard that Zalbuth was just as bad as Heqat in close combat.
In terms of battle of spells, Heqat was one of the best among the gods.
Though Kuna heard that Zalbuth was also adept in magic, maybe he wasn't a match against Heqat.
In the first place, frogs were the natural predator of flies.
But looking at Zalbuth's expression, it seems he had no intention of losing.
「You won't know until you try! Here I come! Fly Cloud Storm!」
The cloud he rode on spread out.
The cloud he rode on was made from a clump of flies.
According to Clown, those flies ate the flesh of living creatures and then bred to increase their number infinitely.
Their weakness was fire alas, fire attribute's magic wasn't Heqat's forte.
How would she deal with this?
「RibbitRibbit. So it comes to this. Then this is my answer. Devil's Face Scab」
At that moment, a tiny frog's head came out from Heqat's face and grew bigger.
Finally, the head became twelve in number.
The devil's face scab was one of a kind of disease. Its symptom was various heads of living creatures growing from one body part of its victim, which then grew up by absorbing the nutrients in the victim's body and eventually led to the death of the victim.
The name also varied depending on the face, if it was a human face, it got called human's face scab, Wolf's face scab if it was a wolf, frog's face scab if it was a frog, and numerous other names.
The way to treat it was by making those face scabs drink the drug made from the bulb of braided hat lilies.
Alas, adept sorcerers or witches used this disease as part of their powers instead.
By creating multiple heads, it would allow the user to use more spells, or complicated magic.
And Heqat could use this disease with a flip of her hand.
It was an extremely powerful magic alas, since it made Kuna look ugly, Kuna didn't try to learn that magic.
Heqat whose head had grown to twelve looked really ominous.
Heqat then opened her mouth and swallowed the flies one after another.
It only took her a few seconds to swallow every single one of the flies in the cloud.
「As expected of the famous witch. My adorable flies are no match for you.」
「Humph, this is just child’s play. You're planning something else, right? RibbitRibbitRibbit.」
「Correct, my goal isn't to defeat you! Witch-dono! Open eight gates! Gate of Opening, Gate of Rest, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Death, Gate of Wonder!」
When Zalbuth shouted, eight talismans suddenly appeared around Heqat.
「Ribbit? Are you using the cloud of flies as bait for you to unleash your talisman?」
「Correct, Witch-dono! I call this Formation of Mysterious Stellar Gate! You're going to be trapped in a mysterious space forever once all eight gates are open!」
The talisman was glowing with ominous light before it got absorbed into Heqat's body.
The moment the light receded, Heqat's body was already gone.
「Kukuku, I won. Now it's your turn right, Silver-dono?」
Zalbuth looked at Kuna.
「Wait, Zalbuth! That woman is my prey!」
「Hang on, big sister! You're still injured!」
Both Zasha and Zaffrada moved together.
Zaffrada had a talisman pasted on her wound. She was in no condition to fight.
「Zasha is right, big sister. Please step back until you recover. Leave them to me. Are you ready, Silver-dono?」
Zalbuth readied himself.
Alas, Kuna didn't feel like fighting.
「Too bad, Kuna can't fight. In the first place, do you really think that you have won? That witch is still Kuna's master after all. She won't fall that easily with that kind of paltry trick. Take a look.」
Kuna told him so while pointing at where Heqat vanished.
A cloud spread out from that place.
「What the?!」
Zalbuth couldn't hide his shock.
The cloud literally exploded in all directions at once.
「GUWAAAA!」
「KYAAAAAAAAAA!」
Both Zaffrada and Zalbuth got blown away by that explosion.
A moment later, Heqat appeared from the place where the cloud exploded.
「Too bad, such a method doesn't work on me. To begin with, talisman art is something that originates from Rugas. This old hag already knows the way to counter such a trick. RibbitRibbitRibbit.」
