074. Witch (2)

Icarone looked at her with his characteristically dry eyes. The viscous black liquid that continued to flow down covered her body from the chest to the middle of her thighs like a short dress, and her pitch-black hair was swaying mysteriously enough to make one wonder if it was hair or some other unknown substance.

In contrast to her sensuous posture and expression as a woman in her forties, her eyes contained something utterly pure, like the eyes of a ten-year-old child. When I looked into those eyes, I felt myself relax without even realizing it.

“What race are you…?”

At Icarone’s question, one corner of her mouth went up seductively. Then, she came close to him, placed her index finger on his face, and slowly pulled it down, opening her mouth.

“I guess you’re ready to talk now.”

Contrary to expectations, the woman’s fingertips were softer and warmer than a child’s. When her blood-red, plump lips opened, an irresistible sweet scent stimulated the five senses.

“I am not a being that can be classified by race or anything. I am an old being, the first necromancer, also called a witch.”

“Witch…, you immediately realized that I came from another world. How did you know?”

“Huh, the scent is different. Is it the difference between a human who exudes the scent of Odir and a human who has been covered in scent?”

This woman, or rather, the witch, is she more innocent than I thought? She answers questions as I ask. It is a different answer from the Artemis. Can we get more information about the secret that came over to this world? The slightly raised pitch of the voice suggests that she is enjoying unraveling her knowledge.

“I see… Do you know a way to go back to the world I came from?”

At this question, she hesitated, closed her eyes slightly, and stared intently. Even that sight was so fatal that he felt a boiling desire to hug her tightly right now. Even he, who had shut off his senses as much as possible, felt this way, so a normal man would not have been able to hold back the lust that erupted from the moment he saw her, no, from the moment he entered this cave.

As if she knew Icarone’s condition, the woman continued speaking, wiggling her body seductively.

“Well… why, do you want to go back? Just stay here with me.”

Those pure white shoulders and the small gestures that wiggled her delicate collarbone. And just now, her answer made my head spin. It was to the point where I thought that if I put everything down and embraced her, I would have no regrets.

Icarone clenched his fists. He remembered when he first came in. The thick scent of blood that filled the cave, this lust that was boiling irrationally now. If he passed now, it was obvious that his scent would be added to the scent of blood scattered in the air.

-Sreung!

“This is not a very recommended choice…….”

“If you don’t stop this teasing, there will be no more conversation.”

Icarone straightened her posture. The witch, who had been looking at him with a pitiful expression, slowly shook her head from side to side and continued speaking.

“Huh… Wouldn’t that be unfair? Just have fun at least once….”

-Shoot!

The witch’s body disappeared like fog and reappeared behind her. Icarone gathered all her strength and kicked her feet. Even if it didn’t work at all, she definitely felt a shape touch her feet. She subdued him with a reaction speed she couldn’t handle.

-Sweep!

“Ahh!”

A sharp, piercing moan echoed through the air. Blood was seen spurting out of her forearm. It looked like blood spattered on the pure white snow, making it stand out and look even more brutal. The witch looked quite surprised.

“Dragon bones? What is that? Are you a hatchling? No…….”

The witch, who had been looking Icarone up and down, suddenly changed her expression as if something had come to mind and she spoke in a low growl.

“Slayer……. See you again, human…….”

-Phew!

The pitch-black earbuds were deeply embedded in one wall up to the handle. She disappeared from sight, scattering like fog. She did not go somewhere else, but there was no sense of energy at all. The thick scent of blood and the strange energy that had been weighing heavily on her were also gone. That witch was no longer here.

Icarone looked down at Guido.

“Dragon’s bones…….”

The old legend of the Muetun Mountains, the sword made of dragon bones… … It was a moment when the old, lumpy speculations gained credibility.

When Icarone returned to the mansion, Rachel was pouting for some reason, but he ignored her and walked away. Considering her situation, her current appearance was really bright. Considering the life she had lived so far, it was admirable that she had not gone mad. No, am I the one who did that?

After dinner, there was a knock on the door of Icarone’s room as she was recalling her encounter with the witch.

-dripping.

“Come in.”

Still feeling like the owner of this mansion, but now completely familiar. Rachel opened the door cautiously and spoke to him.

“I have something to ask you…….”

Icarone nodded, pointing to the chair opposite him. He expected her to open up someday. She still believed in him enough to follow him, but that was not enough. He needed to understand her exact situation, her will, and her goals in order to help her as effectively as possible in this short period of time.

Reading Icarone’s serious expression, she took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth.

“I don’t really have many people I can trust, rely on, and share my opinions with. And since you occupy a large part of my short future, I have taken the liberty of coming to you.”

She confessed everything to Icarone about her current situation, the uncertain future ahead, and the direction she should take.

Icarone listened to the story much more seriously than he had expected, in the same posture as before. Then, when the story of the Duke of Cletin came up, he raised his hand for the first time and stopped talking.

“Do you really think he wouldn’t approve?”

“Yes? Of course…….”

Rachel was about to answer right away, but then she became lost in thought. There must be a reason why he stopped talking without asking a single question while listening to this long story. Something he could think about and something she could not think about.

The first difference that comes to mind is familiarity, being from the Kingdom of Berion, and knowing the Duke of Cletin. Do you know him well?

‘for a moment.’

Then is it natural to not approve it?

The ideal structure for mutual growth is a three-way battle. It is natural that one side cannot do whatever they want, not just for the sake of growing, but also to eat the other side. The original structure of competition is literally a competition to eat the other side. In any case, they work harder to check each other and pull each other up.

And if it were the Duke of Cletin, who had been a pillar of the country, firmly holding his position without any requests, he might have hoped for that. Why didn’t he think of changing his perspective? If he looked at it not as a fight between himself and his uncle, but as a fight for the prosperity and development of this kingdom, he would have been able to predict the Duke’s choice… … .

“ah!”

Icarone, who had been watching Rachel’s expression carefully, opened her mouth.

“Go find a man named Cletino.”

A dark underground room. Dozens of stone coffins were lit by the occasional torch. Two soldiers in uniform were patrolling what appeared to be an underground burial chamber.

“Why on earth do they tell us to guard a place like this… It’s always the same.”

“What I’m saying is, the corpses aren’t rising, and if it’s not for the salary, I’ll just leave it at that. It’d be better to move my body… Hmm?”

In the distance, something black was seen moving. The soldier narrowed his eyes and strained his eyes. Looking closely, he saw a girl dressed in black sitting on the coffin, her legs swinging.

“Who, who are you!”

As the soldier shouted, the shaking legs stopped. And then I saw her head slowly turn. Very slowly… … . I could see her pure white cheeks that had been hidden by her hair.

The moment her eyes began to open, her face suddenly felt as if it were elongated. Then, right in front of me, her mouth opened abnormally wide.

-Plop!

The soldier whose head had disappeared in an instant stumbled and fell to the ground. The soldier next to him, unable to judge what had happened, looked around with his spear raised.

The girl is watching herself from afar without moving, and the colleague next to her has lost his head… … .

The girl lifted her long, smooth hand and wiped her mouth. There was blood on the corner of her mouth, presumably belonging to her colleague who had been standing next to her a moment ago.

“Eek!”

The soldier was so startled that he dropped his spear and turned around. But then he saw the girl who had been far away just a moment ago, turning her pale face towards him.

“Huh!”

The girl grabbed the soldier’s hair as he was about to fall backwards in shock. The strength of the small, white hand was so strong that it seemed as if the soldier’s scalp would be torn. The girl shoved her other hand into the soldier’s mouth without hesitation.

-Phew.

Blood gushed out from the soldier’s eyes, ears, and nose with a slurping sound. When the girl pulled out her hand again, something soaked in blood came out. The girl licked her lips and swallowed it in one gulp.

Just like before, her mouth was of an abnormal size, but it quickly returned to its original state. She seemed to be licking her finger with her eyes closed, savoring the taste.

“Ugh… It’s not tasty.”

The image of the girl who had been pouting as if she was complaining became blurred. Soon, silence fell over the tomb as if nothing had happened.

Friel’s office. Friel was facing Berello with a serious expression.

“Jeron’s son? Have you seen him?”

“That… I don’t remember very well because he was so young.”

Even if he was right, it had been over ten years since he disappeared from here. His friendship with Leondga would not have been that strong. Friel considered the possibility of persuasion. With that level of skill, it would be like putting wings on his back.

“What do you think? Do you think you can persuade him?”

“What do you think? Do you think you can persuade him?”

“He doesn’t seem like the type of man who would be easy to persuade…….”

“Hmm… Well. I smell similar to that old man Cletino. He’s the most difficult guy who doesn’t reveal money….”

They are staying at the mansion he has designated for them for the grand banquet.

Should I try recruiting them once and if it fails, should I launch an all-out attack right away? I have recruited the best assassination guild in Berion. With that level of force, they will definitely head to the palace someday, so I have to deal with them before that happens.

But still, something feels off. We need to be careful. If we rush things like this, there will definitely be problems.

It was because he had not lost his sense and prudence that he had risen to this position. This was an exception, but then Berello shouted after receiving a report from someone else who had just come in.

“The two guards guarding the crypt are dead! Both of them were headless…….”
