An old church. There are holes all over the ceiling, and the sunset light plugs in. This was already an unused church, the kind of place the kids would use as a playground. One of the things Château asked for from the coursal, an unpopular place large enough. There are no children at this time, and the furniture has been removed, so it is large enough. Shatia exhaled quietly as she sat on the church pedestal.

"Long time no see... you've had a nasty dream"

Shatia said so spicidly with her hands on her forehead. Earlier, Chhatia went after more injuries than she thought in the battle with the witch, and she passed out from exhaustion. That's when I had a nostalgic dream that made me depressed. What if she was just joking that the words she said back then were true... Shatia thought so and shook her head so that she would think something nasty.

"Shatifar"

"... Emerald? Are the wounds good enough now?

"Yes, once."

He hung up and raised his face and Emerald stood. The bandage-ridden figure reminded me of when we had just met and looked terribly weak. I feel uncomfortable walking somewhere, and maybe the wound hasn't completely healed yet. Shatia worried but didn't say anything and waited for Emerald to come by her side.

"Um, when I was fighting the monster, I felt slightly... that Shatifar was fighting..."

"Oh, a witch."

When Emerald asked anxiously with his hands together on his chest, Shatia answered without any hesitation to show it. Knowing the truth, Emerald opens his eyes and solidifies, making him unable to talk about anything for a while. Shatia scratched her hair to distract her as she stepped off the pedestal.

"I'm almost certain who it is, too. Well, it might be a bluff, so I'm going to have to finish off the monster first."

Shatia moves on without worrying about Emerald, who is still stunned and can't keep her head up. I already knew which witch I was, but I didn't dare try to teach Emerald that.

"After all, trying to avenge humans like I did before..."

"No, you're not. His purpose was set from the beginning... and from then on, I guess he was going to."

"Huh...?

Shatia says that as she remembers that witch word she saw earlier in her dream.

At that time she had a mouthful as if she were going to destroy all humans. Shatia thought it was a joke because she liked jokes, but if it was true, she'd been planning and asking for opportunities.

"Why do you think the witch was destroyed in the first place? Emerald."

"Oh... it's by the hand of the brave..."

"Right, you're right. But there is some discomfort. How did you know where the witch lived in hiding? In the first place, there must have been some witches who couldn't kill."

"... ah"

Emerald gave Shatia a hazy look as she noticed something in her words.

"[Immortal Witch] Vestalis...... is it?

Shatia nodded cocklessly at Emerald's words as she shook her fingertips.

Immortal Witch Vestalis. As its name suggests, a witch of heterogeneous existence among witches who preside over the power of immortality. Says that no matter how much you cleave with your sword, that body reconnects, and no matter how many cannons you drill into your body, it gets blocked. Even the long-lived witch was particularly feared for her immortality.

"That's right. How many brave men can defeat the immortal Vestalis... I've asked him about it before..."

The power of immortality is well understood by Shatia as well. That's why I felt uncomfortable when Vestalis was defeated. I asked when I was acting with the brave man about it, but when I remembered it, Shatia smiled unexpectedly.

"Anything, Vestalis was defeated in just one blow," he said.

"... what? Uh, no... what do you mean?

Emerald stiffened again to the words told by Shatia, tilting his neck in a gushing motion like a broken machine.

"Should I describe it as weak? As if prepared to be defeated by the brave..."

"So Vestalis in this case...?

"Come on. Make sure of that now. We need to make sure she's in the right condition."

Saying so, Shatia looks up at the ceiling full of holes. The yang leans for the most part and will be at night in a little while. Then Shatia put her finger on her mouth.

"Time. You better stay back. Emerald."

Leaving a profound word, Château walks to the center of the church. I don't know why she acted. Emerald was just looking at it, but eventually he felt uncomfortable. Something disastrous. That was a feeling Emerald himself often felt.

"......................................................................................................................................................."

What showed up was a monster wrapped in pitch black. He glows his sharp eyes with his blacker breath, and the monster steps into the church from an empty door. And when I recognized the presence of Chateau and Emerald, I stripped my fangs out.

"You... were drooling me abominably"

"Thank you for coming out, monster. Apparently, he liked the food I sprinkled in the city."

Shatia answered deliberately bowing as the monster said so with a low roar.

In the morning, Shatia was traveling around the city spreading her own magic. Even when it comes to magic, we simply installed objects that were extracted directly as magic, so that does not affect the human body. But whoever can feel the magic will know the smell. Not to mention the magic vegetarian of Chhatia, a witch, who will soon know.

"Thank you. You seem to be after the bad guys, the powerful ones. Have you seen me as a strong man?

"You think you're a strong man? It's not like that, you're a deviant! Those who go beyond boundaries...... beings like you must be crushed instantly!!

The monster says so with ambition up as he kicks Dan and the ground. An attitude that sees Chhatia as a complete enemy. Furthermore, I was discerning her true nature. I instinctively perceived the power of Shathia, who possessed mighty power among the witches.

"So how about you? Do you know who you are and how you were born?

The monster pushed silently at Shatia's question, which he uttered as he spread his arms. The rough signs subsided and the arms were suddenly quiet and about to be lifted down.

"It's... I'm looking for it myself. So you live by your instincts."

"So what if that instinct was manipulated? What if that's what you're meant to live for... What do you do?

"... what?

The monster shook his shoulder as upset by the sudden inquiry of Shatia. hypothesis put forward by Shatia. It was a burst of content that said the existence of the monster itself was made of. Ring a ton of feet and she starts explaining.

"There is a curse in this world."

Pins and index fingers up, Shatia said. When I looked at that finger, for some reason, the monster also lost his temper to try to attack me, and I listened to Shatia with a killer mind.

"There are many different types of curses, like emeralds that affect others, or diseases that erode the body."

Shatia continued her words as she turned her gaze to Emerald's side with chirali. Emerald, who was told about herself, puts his finger in his eyes a little badly.

"One of the scary things is what we call [the curse of Reaper]. They say that those who are hung will not receive a normal death and will turn into aliens."

"... what the hell is that curse?

"Let's just get straight to it. You are someone who was changed by a curse."

The monster becomes completely rigid for a moment. I was upset when they told me who I was. I don't know if that's a shock or a grief, but the monster felt something like fear that made him know who he was. I don't know why. Only fear engulfs me.

"... such an idiot"

"It's a fact. You have been cursed by the Reaper. Forget about your memories and your own... and become a monster just to repeat the destruction. That's how a witch set things up so that she could carry things to her advantage."

The monster shook his head with his hands on his face to deny the facts. But Shatia keeps saying more words and hitting the monster with the truth. The monster took a weak step back.

"Shatifar... then the enemy witch is still..."

I found out that the monster was the one who was changed with a curse, and Emerald, who was falling back, approached Shatia. But at that time, all of a sudden, the whole church began to shake, and something like black penetrated through the gap in the ceiling, and spread misty as it spread.

"Are you here...!

He tongues lightly so that Shatia remembers his opponent's movements sooner than expected, kicking the ground. The fog coming towards me was avoided, but there was no time to prevent the fog that went towards the monster, the emerald. The fog crushes to the floor and destroys the whole thing there. The shock wave blew the monster away, and the emerald flew to the wall.

Shathia checked the situation after a spin in the air and flying to a large debris pierced the ground. As always, black fog is overflowing from the ceiling. The monster seems to be buried somewhere in the rubble, but we can confirm Emerald's safety.

"Emerald! You're getting what you need from the guy at the coursall, aren't you? Uncurse him!

"What... Ah, yes...!

With a loud voice, Shatia flies instructions to the bewildered emerald.

Another thing I asked the coursall to do. When we gained the certainty that the monster was the one who was cursed, we gathered the material that would be used to break the curse. I have already collected the ingredients and prepared them behind this church. All I had to do was untie you later. But let that happen and a large amount of black fog hits the emerald like a vortex.

"I'm your opponent...!

As soon as I saw it, the chattier popped up and floated in space with floating magic emitted a massive amount of magic and a shock wave. The fog is scattered to be blown away, losing its shape. And when the other fog gathered, he now headed for Shatia. Shatia nods alright and rises with floating magic, slamming fog onslaught in the air.

Now the fog took on a pointy shape when it gathered to condense, and that went towards the chateau. Flying ahead is the ceiling. There is no escape. Shatia, however, did not slow down, and as she moved sideways in the soot, she caused the fog to strike straight into the ceiling. The ceiling collapses with the roar, and the black fog also loses its shape and scatters around.

"You're a violent guy. You want to take me down so bad? I'm so sad for all my rebellious daughters."

He jumps out of the smoke, makes a tonne of light noise and Chateau lands on the roof of the church. The evening lit up the silver-haired girl, and there was a black mist around.

"I'll settle for you. You are my scattered seed. My pick."

That's what Shatia says as she looks up at the black mist that is dancing in the universe. At that moment the black fog moved simultaneously, each reshaping. Something like that. A spear-shaped object. Something that looks like a giant arm. They are all anointed with black and smudged like fog. It hit Shatia all at once, but Shatia avoided it magnificently by flying straight up with floating magic.

"You think I can't catch you without shapes?...... sweet!

Shatia casts magic as she dances in the air, producing chains of magic in her own hands. And when they released it, the chains split innumerably, restraining the black mist that was gathering at one point. But the fog tries to escape by exploiting its nature. But for some reason, there was no escape. If you look closely, the chain of magic was glowing, and the thread of magic was flowing out of the chain. Shatia caught a black mist by pouring magic directly into it.

And Shatia shook up the black fog that was restrained as she pulled the chain through her thoughts, slamming it on the roof as she spun it up. The goon and the dull noise rang, and the fog twitched, and from there the shadow rolled out anointed by the black fog.

"Come out, old lady and daughter. I'll slap you in the ass."

"Gu Gu......!!

The foggy girl tries to hide herself again as she overflows the black fog from her body. But Shatia immediately flew a shockwave of magic to blow the fog.

Formation is clearly leaning toward the chattier. The foggy girl distorted that black-filled look and smashed her tongue.

"Quick, stand here......! I'm going to break the curse now."

"Gu......"

Inside the church, on the other hand, Emerald was preparing to break the curse by dragging the fallen monster. Although the monster was injured in a black fog attack, there is no problem because he is still conscious. Later, all he had to do was clear the necessary preparations and start the ritual.

It's not hard to break the curse. It was just harsh to say that a large amount of magic was needed, and that was why it was said that normal people could not do it and that it was difficult to break the curse. But there is no problem with Emerald, who is a witch. Remove the gems from the bags that were ready and start drawing magic formations on the floor.

"Hey, why are you helping me... I..."

"There's no way I know that. I was told by Shatifar to decurse you."

Emerald answers the monster's question in a hurry but politely. The hand was desperately moving to paint the magic formation, which was soon completed. All you need to do later is place the gems where you need them and activate the ritual. Emerald wipes the sweat flowing from his forehead with one hand and turns his gaze toward the monster.

"I don't know who you are... but please... the enemy witch is strong enough to defeat Shatifar once... so help him... eh"

Emerald, who had no offensive magic, asked for that help with a spicy look. The monster shook his eyes as bewildered and looked up at the furrowed ceiling. There is a ton of black fog. It drifted wide as if to hide the light.
