The Branded Female Fencer

Witch Regiment, Part 10 - Behind the Scenes

At dawn. The forest had collapsed a lot of its appearance. It was burnt, stomped down by force, or sharply chopped, or even frozen or rotten. Every way it ends, the fact that you can see the end of one of them temporarily, etc., is not so.

It was Doom and Anomaly walking through land that collapsed or could be described as the art of devastation as such. Talking to Pepper was anomaly, and conversely, listening to it still was the sight of Doom, the opposite of usual. Most of all, these two are the two people who talk a lot in the Orange Bull, so I guess one of them would be the listener if there were only two of them.

"Hey, Doom. How user-friendly was the new Hecaton Cale?

"Oh. You're the guy who bounces back that sorcery, right? That looks the same, but you're moving a lot faster than before, and you're smarter, aren't you? It used to be a lot simpler to move around, and there were other things besides orders that you wouldn't even want to do with your enemies in front of you."

"Right? You've adjusted to recognize your enemies yourself for a long time. But if you let yourself be, this time it's rampant, and it's hard to recognize the boundaries between your abilities and your self..."

When Anomaly's lecture began, Doom was appropriately reflecting on himself about this achievement as he responded.

The raid itself went well on top of this. The planting was already done more than a hundred years ago by Oranzeble and Hidun. Doom only used the Orangeable scheme and followed its orders.

But there are also many parts that violate orders. First of all, I haven't been told to use a ton of demon kings so far. The Demon King is just a trigger. It was right on the ops to let the demon king attack the regiment, but along the way he was going to discover the traitors among the witches, including Drafanella. The traitor among the witches was the first to know that Doom was also brought up with a plan, but that number was actually nearly 30%. I knew Hidun's plan had begun a long time ago, but I didn't even think he was turning 30% of the witches back to sleep. If I had known that all that fighting power was turning around, I would have worked out a little more carefully.

First of all, this was the order of the Orange Bull. "Stop them from tying together in a coven of witches. Note that the dead do not do their utmost". The plan for transferring the word to execution was worked out mainly by Hidun, and Doom was just an executor. Although it was the demon king to be lent that Doom elected, the number was also roughly determined, and Doom was very dissatisfied.

Not that that's why Doom had other things to aim for in this regiment. It's revenge on the witches, because she remembered Osiria's cause and effect. It is often Titania or Silence who is entrusted with the task of not being able to brawl like this in the first place. Dragreo can't turn his head, and Brady Maria is overjoyed by the sloppiness. Anomaly can't leave the workshop, and Lifeless hasn't been relieved of surveillance of Alphilis. Besides, Calamity has a history of runoff, and Yugdrasil didn't know where or what he was doing. It seems out of the question to Doom.

It was not for Titania to lead the troops that Doom was elected to this role, and Silence is on another mission. What a fortunate situation that Hidun is also in the midst of dealing with unplanned national events. At least, that's what they all thought.

But the reality is different. It is possible even in Titania to lead the Demon King, and of course not that Anomaly does not consider such a means. Doom took every means to get himself elected on this assignment.

First of all his abilities. It's something no one knows, but Doom was able to turn a part of himself into darkness and leave it behind. And evil spirits are everywhere. That is the number of the living or the dead all the time. It's strange to Doom how all these evil spirits can be spent peacefully while they are everywhere.

Doom did all kinds of information-gathering with the eyes and ears of the evil spirits. He no longer knows the weaknesses of the Orange Bull, nor most of his companions' weaknesses, or the secrets of immortality. In doing so, he realized the fact that it was decisively usable. That means there are others who are not under the spiritual restraint of the Orange Bull.

One for himself, the other for Yugdrasil, and the other for...

"Hey, are you listening?

It is anomaly, the ugly boy in front of you. Doom once again looks seriously at a boy like this ugly old man, but Anomaly was still heterogeneous in Doom, accustomed to any evil spirit. A brilliant brain that doesn't fit the ugly look. Which moralist was it that said that the inside appeared on the outside?

Doom finally threw words at him, even as he opened up to the appearance of an anomaly he was unfamiliar with no matter how much he saw it.

"Nevertheless, I can't believe you pretended to follow the Orange Bull."

"I really got sorcery once, hey. Look, I've been dead and split many times, haven't I? So there is no longer a shadow or form for an individual to whom the Orange Bull has placed a spiritual bondage. We share our knowledge and experiences, but we don't share them until we're mentally bound. I thought it was a drawback that I couldn't continue the enhancements I applied to myself, but that means I had unexpected benefits. It wasn't until I became one of the Orange Bulls that I got the idea of splitting, and don't think he's totally unexpected either."

"Like I know, like I don't know"

"You don't have to know. If I wanted to understand, it would take 10 years with normal brains. How much more interesting would it be for you to turn your consciousness in the direction of chaos in this world?"

"It would be easier for me."

The betrayed witches pave the way for two people who walk with them. Even as they are, I guess they don't want to get involved with this evil spirit and this ugly boy. But only Drafanella and Ayyad were there for them.

"You're doing well"

"I also feel a little too much... was this a good idea?

"Oh, that's all right"

Doom answered flatly. The expression remains unusual and faceless. Anomaly was suspicious of something, but the two witches weren't even the wind to mind.

More than that, he seemed concerned about the witches who were being held captive and rolled around.

"As I was told, I captured most of the witches alive. I'm not counting the exact places, but I thought 30% betrayed them, 40% caught them, 20% died, and about 10% fled."

"What about Fairtoose?

"We are severely captive"

"Who else cares about its fate?

To Doom's words, the two witches looked at each other. Now Iyard answers.

"Sorry, Ingvar has escaped. Dark Witch Dead, just escaped in darkness. Seems to have spent its power only on escape, without ever fighting."

"Hmm. Well, she seemed like a witch with the power there, but it wouldn't be a big obstacle, would it? Anything else?

"Um, I don't see Granchelle..."

"Killed."

Doom said softly to Drafanella, who heard of the untimely. At the same time, Osiria, who was behind them, threw some kind of chunk at their feet.

Seeing something thrown at her, Drafanella screams unexpectedly.

"Hih!"

"Ugh... Granchelle."

Called the Witch of Fire, the big woman with bright red hair was murdered in a way that kept its shape at a glance and beyond. I don't know what happened to the rest because I only have the most head, but I saw tears spilling out of my eyes when nothing was gone. Eyard shook his spine at how miserable it was for Granchelle to cry, who was never in any predicament and was so rigid in character as to teach her people to laugh off.

Eyard just looked at Doom as he covered Granchelle's head with his own robe. As a doom, you expected a slightly different reaction, which brings your neck a little strange.

"Is that it? I thought I'd change my expression a little bit. Wouldn't you be colder than an ice witch?

"I don't have any feelings for people more than I have for my ex. That's the same thing they do with witches."

"Oh, yeah. If only you could turn as pale as Draphanella there, you'd be adorable."

"In a life that has nothing to do with hatred and such adorability. I'd like to apologize for a bloody place like this if I didn't need it."

Did Ayyard lose interest in everything, or was he still pissed off by Doom's behavior? I tried to leave the place early enough. Anomaly speaks from behind it.
