At my last generosity, the Witch of Greed began to giggle before breaking into a laugh. After laughing for a long time, she held up the mana stone with a straight face.
"You're an arrogant kid! Are you putting me under your feet because you're the Master of the Holy Sword?"
When the Witch of Greed breathed mana into the mana stone that she consumed more than 90 percent of mana from, the mana stone began to emit enormous mana.
"Yes, we lost the Giant War 500 years ago! But the victorious Holy Kingdom has already disappeared from this world! That means that even if you succeed the Holy Queen, you can't make me submit to you!"
Normally, the vast amount of mana contained in the mana stone of a great demon was too much mana to be used in combat. Too much mana is bound to consume the magician in reverse.
"My essence as a witch is greed! There's no greater disgrace than to hand over what's within my grasp to another for free!"
In this regard, it was fine to say that the mana stone held by the Witch of Greed now contained the right amount of mana for an individual to use.
"Just try taking it from my hand, Master of the Holy Sword!"
The Witch of Greed added the power of her spirits by using the magic stone of a great demon. The insignificant spirits increased their presence, and the quasi-disaster-class spirits temporarily gained the power of disaster-class spirits. The power radiating from the seven disaster-class spirits was enough to make my body feel numb.
"Wow, how thrilling!"
"It's going to be fun!"
The two Crows standing next to me smiled deeply and let out 100% of their martial aura. Likewise, I smiled and said to the two crazy battle maniacs, whose hands were itching to fight.
"Fight as much as you want."
As soon as I finished my sentence, the two drove their horse and deer and crazily charged into the midst of the spirits. Mac hyung could take on one disaster class spirit, and Uncle Bloody could likely fight two disaster class spirits at the same time. Of course, for that to happen, there had to be no interference from the Witch of Greed's support and the spirits around them. So, if I just make it so that there was no interference, it'd be fine.
I took out the Miracle Crystal from my pocket space and sucked mana into my whole body.
"My loyal soldiers!"
At the same time as my cry, the mana of the Miracle Crystal flowed into all the dragon tooth soldiers.
"My knights who bear divinity!"
The bluish mana covering the skeletal dragon tooth soldiers that made them look ghastly, turned golden.
"Punish my enemy!"
The dragon tooth soldiers, their entire bodies covered in divine power, drew their swords.
Gwalchavad, standing at the forefront, shouted, raising his sword high."Everyone! It's the Great Master's command! Subdue the villain who dares to be hostile to the master!"
- Wahhhhhhhh!!
The dragon tooth soldiers cried out and charged in unison.
The spirits confronted the strong auras made of divine power with the power of nature. The power of each spirit strengthened by the mana stone of a great demon was clearly greater than the dragon tooth soldiers. However, the constant restoration of the dragon tooth soldiers' blades due to divine power led to the spirits were being brutally slaughtered.
"If you empower your forced, all I have to do is empower mine too."
There was a reason why paladins were called cockroaches.
"Keuk! I can't believe it! How can the necromancy-rooted dragon tooth soldiers be strengthened by divine power?!"
The Witch of Greed was astonished and found it ridiculous.
How can you not notice such a simple thing at a glance? You are completely ignorant of alchemy and necromancy.
I guess even for a great madosa, it was impossible for them to differentiate magic that they didn't have knowledge of at a glance. The reason the Space Specialist and Curse Specialist immediately recognized it was they had considerable knowledge of alchemy through exchanges with Elder Mirpa.
"Percival! Bors! Palamedes! Lionel! Take care of the disaster class spirits first!"
Under my direction, the four knights left the dragon tooth soldiers they were commanding without hesitation and rushed towards the disaster class spirits.
"Understood, Master!"
"On it, Hyung-nim!"
"Just as Your Majesty wishes!"
"I'll follow Master's order!"
When the four knights' command disappeared, the command of the now slow-moving dragon tooth soldiers was handed over to Caradoc.
"Caradoc! Take command of the dragon tooth soldiers and take care of the little ones first!"
"Okay, Commander-in-Chief!"
Caradoc skillfully controlled 10, 000 dragon tooth soldiers and reduced the number of spirits.
"Agravain! Gwalchmai! Bedivere! Go around the back and block their path of retreat!"
"Master's order received!"
"Ahahaha! Sounds good, Boss!"
"Okay! Mordred!"
The dragon tooth soldiers led by the three knights surrounded the whole area like a net.
"Gwalchavad! Protect me by my side!"
"Master's safety is the top priority! I will be Master's strong shield!"
Gwalchavad came next to me and raised his shield.
"Yvain, Ovain! Follow me! It's a witch hunt!"
"Wow! I've been waiting, Crow Prince!"
"It's time for a merry witch hunt with the Crow Prince!"
With the three knights, I ran to the Witch of Greed at the center.
"Tristan, cover us!"
"Of course, Master!"
The spirits who blocked me collapsed under Tristan's shower of arrows. Having succeeded in approaching the Witch of Greed with speed, I swung the Holy Sword with what little mana I had left.
"Spirit of Fire!"
The Witch of Greed quickly evaded and shot flames at me. However, Gwalchavad defended me with a shield full of divine power. In the meantime, the Yvain and Ovain brothers, who secretly and quickly took the witch's rear, threw dozens of daggers wrapped in a strong aura.
"Spirit of the Sea!"
The Witch of Greed moved a water spirit to block the daggers. The twins smiled playfully and gestured when they saw the wall of water blocking them. The daggers that were flying straight immediately changed directions following the gestures and stabbed the witch.
"Tch, Spirit of Tempest!"
The Witch of Greed covered her whole body with a powerful gust of wind to block the daggers coming towards her from all directions with flying swordsmanship.
"Damn! It seems that she didn't succeed the name of the seven sins for no reason?"
"Really! It's fun to hunt the seven great witches!"
The twins recovered the daggers they had thrown with flying swordsmanship. Taking advantage of this slight gap, the Witch of Greed looked at me and launched a powerful magic.
"A ray of light that shines on the turbulent sea! Elemental Sanctuary!"
Spirits gathered in the magic wand she held became a ray of light and literally flew at me at the speed of light.
"No way! Witch!"
Before the magic was shot, Gwalchavad already stood with his back to me and prepared to block it with a shield. The fired magic was soon blocked by his shield. And right at that moment, Tristan's arrow flew into the heart of the Witch of Greed.
"Kuok!"
From far away, Tristan smiled cheerfully and shouted.
"I'll deeply engrave in your heart the lesson to never let your guard down! You old granny!"
Ovain stole the mana stone of a great demon, aiming for the gap when the Witch of Greed was greatly reeling back from the shock of taking an arrow in the heart.
"I'll be taking this mana stone! Witch!"
Subsequently, Yvain aimed for her blindspot and threw dozens of daggers with flying swordsmanship.
"It's not enough for compensation, but it's a gift! Witch!"
Even if you're a great madosa, you will die if your heart is pierced. And so, Yvain did his best to confirm the kill.
The Witch of Greed broke off the arrow in her heart and controlled the spirits to block the daggers. It was truly a phenomenal vitality.
"Tch! Like a witch, you just won't die!"
Yvain clicked his tongue, but due to the impact of being hit by an arrow in the heart, the Witch of Greed couldn't block all the daggers. She tried to run away with daggers stuck all over her body.
"Master has not allowed you to escape."𝒇𝑟𝑒𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝑛oν𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
"Let's have a match, witch!"
However, Agravain and Gwalchmai had surrounded her and blocked her escape
"Swirl! Wind! Flames Rise! Red Flames!"
The Witch of Greed tried to break through by creating a huge flame tempest with spirit magic using the spirit of wind and the spirit of fire.
"Ahahaha! Hot fire. I like it!" Gwalchmai smiled pleasantly and jumped into the flame tempest."I'm a knight of the sun! Hot fire is the source of my strength!" He inhaled the flame emitted by the spirit, leaving only a normal tempest."Since you gave me such a nice gift, it's only polite to give you something in return! Here it comes! Witch!" He turned the swallowed flame into a hot red strong aura on his sword and swung excitedly.
When strong aura containing high heat flew in, the Witch of Greed was cornered. There was a siege net in front, me right behind, and Tristan, who sought gaps from afar. Now that the magic stone had been taken away, the spirits were no longer strengthened, and the powerful spirits were held down by my knights, Uncle Bloody, and Mac hyung.
"Ohohohoho! Nobody said this was going to happen! Just try going back! I'm going to nag you like crazy!"
The Witch of Greed did not lose her laughter even in this desperate situation. I put the magic stone handed over by Ovain back in my pocket space.
"So, what was the purpose of luring me?"
She smiled playfully at my question."Well, what do you think it is?"
She didn't seem to have any intention of answering, so I smiled and took a book out of my pocket space.
"What do you mean what? Of course, this is your purpose."
The book I brought up was called "The Prophecy of the Holy Tribe". In the past, when Hillis forced me to sneak into the Great Temple, this was the book I got from the Archbishop's bookcase.
As soon as the Witch of Greed saw the book, she abandoned her playful demeanor and stared seriously.
"Why? How did I know? It's simple. First, I got this book from the bookcase of the Archbishop who was in league with a demon worshipper called Libra, " I said.
The Witch of Greed nodded subtly as if she understood.
"Secondly, you are on the same side with that Libra. Thirdly, among the four books that you demanded from me at Marquis Balthain's mansion, I'm certain you mentioned this as one of the titles."
At that time, the Witch of Greed requested a total of four books: "The North Continent Cry", "Breath of the Holy Tribe", "The End of the Holy Tribe", and "The Prophecy of the Holy Tribe". This book was definitely the one she was looking for.
"Isn't that so?" I asked.
She nodded and asked back, "Right. Do you know why I want that book?"
I shrugged lightly."Isn't it to summon the Demon King?"
It was simple reasoning. In the first place, Aunt Talaria said the Witch of Greed, Scorpio, was a force moving for the return of the Demon King.
She was surprised by my casual answer.
"You couldn't have reached that far of a conclusion with the book alone. How did you know?"
Her surprise was natural. The content of this book was only a book containing the history of the Holy Kingdom. However, I already had the knowledge of the firewood of the roasted sweet potato in my head. [1] If you have knowledge of that firewood, it was not impossible to interpret the meaning contained in this book.
"Who knows? I wonder how too?"
The Witch of Greed smiled at my playful question.
"Well, it's none of my business how you found out. Because I'm done with my work."
What does she mean by'done'?
"My job was to check whether the Master of the Holy Sword really had a'Prophecy of the Holy Tribe', which is part of the Demon King summons." She sighed."Originally, I was going to overpower you and make you confess, but I'm glad you're smart."
At the same time, she exploded fireworks high in the sky. I got an ominous feeling and severed her neck with the Holy Sword. However, my Holy Sword was blocked by a strong aura shot down from the sky.
"Hahahaha! Look! My intuition was right!" An old man wearing a white mask descended from the sky and said proudly.
The Witch of Greed kicked his bottom."Bullshit! You didn't say it'd be this hard!"
"Ahahaha! I didn't say that on purpose."
"Phew! Hateful!"
He consistently had a playful attitude the whole time but no one here could belittle that old man. I felt like I was going to die under the massive martial aura that overwhelmed the whole area.
"Okay, let's introduce ourselves. I'm Sagittarius. Nice to meet you, Hero, Master of the Holy Sword!"
I was sure. That person was a monster at a completely different level.
1. Den used the Demon King summons as firewood to roast sweet potato previously.
