Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
62: STRANGE MEN CALLED "GREAT MAGICIANS"

Now Indra must choose between her father, her uncle, or a woman recently revealed to be her aunt.

He had no interest in becoming a Great Witch. However, the right to full access to the Library of All Truth he could not pass, he only wanted to find information about the Glimpse of Deaths, he did not care about the other information recorded there.

Before that, Indra must first choose one of the three Great Witches who are scrambling to make him a candidate for the Great Witch under their name.

"Inferno, Frostbite, and the Weather Painter. Your names are already known to everyone, I think your reputation as a Great Witch is on par. Speaking of that, what kind of people are those Great Witches?" Ask Indra.

Avalance smiled faintly.

"We're just a bunch of freaks, Indra." Answer Avalance.

Great Witches are witches who hold the obligation to protect and maintain the balance of the world, they are under the auspices of an organization called the "Wizards of Atlas" founded by Valor, who, the grandson of the Hero of mankind, Avor.

Valor is the founder and leader of the Wizards of Atlas and also the superior of the Great Witches. The Great Witches usually only received orders directly from Valor, they had the duty to protect the peace of the world, under them there were still ordinary members who were ready to serve the Great Witches. All Great Witches are also ensured to have immortality, if there is a new Great Witch who has not obtained immortality then WOA will help them to obtain Eternity.

Eternity in question is a long life without aging, they cannot die by age. However, it could still die if one could kill them.

The strongest and number one Great Witch is currently named Nibiru, she is the Witch with the strongest earth magic in the world. The man was also a figure who was crazy for the fight, the craziest thing he ever did was to make extinct the Avian race which was a half-bird human. Nibiru annihilated the Avian race with one giant meteor the size of the moon, not just the Avian race that vanished from the face of the earth. However, the continent inhabited by the race also vanished hit by the Nibiru meteor. From then on, whatever Nibiru did was closely watched by Valor. He looks like a 24-year-old man with gray hair with yellow eyes.

The number two Great Witch was no less powerful than Nibiru. His name is Vifirie, if Ignis is called Inferno or Hellfire, then Pifirie deserves to be considered as a form of hell itself. Although it sounded a little terrifying, he was a friendly person despite being a little crazy. If Nibiru is crazy about fighting, then Pifirie is crazy about adventure. He travels around the world, but he also often makes trouble on his travels, ranging from minor problems such as draining the water source of a poor village, to major problems such as challenging one of The Envoys.

She was a woman whose beauty was visible from her strength, she had blonde hair with her eyes red, she also always wore red magician clothes and hats.

Number three is Ignis, the father of Indra. Even though he's number three. However, the difference in strength between him and Vifirie and Nibiru was very far away. Even so, she was a Great Witch who always completed her tasks perfectly, she was dubbed as Inferno. The fire can melt whatever he burns, he had been at odds with his own sister for quite a long time, thankfully their relationship is improving at this time. He had a curse given by the Chaos Dragon. However, no one knew yet what curse the Chaos Dragon had given him. He was a gray-white-haired man with blue-colored eyes he always wore light-colored clothes.

Avalance is the number 4 Great Witch. As great as his brother Ignis, he is also nicknamed Frostbite. Avalance has always done well. The only thing that bothered the people who met him was his curse. The Avalance Curse comes from the Chaos Dragon which is also one of The Envoys. Everywhere he went, within a 7-kilometer radius it would snow that would continue to fall until Avalance moved away from its radius. Amazingly, Avalance was able to utilize his curse to raise his Ice Magic to a level no one had ever reached. She has the same hair and eyes as Ignis, only their faces look different and Avalance usually only wears white.

Weather Painter or Mesfera is the number 5 Great Witch, she does not like when called by the name Mesfera, she prefers people to call her by her nickname, the Weather Painter. He is also the younger brother of Ignis and Avalance. He mastered 5 of the 7 basic elements, and all of them he mastered to a level that ordinary people could not achieve. So great that he mastered the magic, he was able to manipulate the weather as he pleased, while fighting he carried five strange weapons shaped like paint bottles with five different colors such as Red, Yellow, and Red, Green, Blue, and Purple. He also had a pair of shields floating behind his body, the shield was shaped like a wooden fence and looked almost transparent. Because of his weather-control abilities and five colored weapons he is called "The Weather Painter" Mesfera is assigned to guard the Wizards of Atlas markup.

The seventh Great Witch named Einsla, the man was a good friend of Weather Painter, even he was the one who made the nickname. Einsla does not appear flashy, and his job is to guard the Library of All Truths. Even so, he was the reason why not a single forbidden knowledge in that place had never been stolen, he was a Witch who could control time. However, there are limits.

Opstann was in ninth place. However, after the unraveling of his crimes, he was expelled and the ninth position temporarily vacated.

The 10th Great Witch is the youngest of the Great Witches, although she is the senior of Ignis, Avalance, and Weather Painter. His name is Xavi, he is like a 10-year-old boy, even though he looks like a snot boy. He is actually the wisest of them all.

The rank of the Great Witches was not only based on strength, but also achievements for example Einsla who could have placed fourth or fifth if she was not fixated on her job of guarding the Library of All Truths. However, Nibiru and Vifirie were examples of Great Magicians who relied on their strength to be at the top.

"They all sound like very strong people, especially Nibiru and Vifirie." Indra.

"I doubt I can get a seat for a Great Witch." Indra.

Ignis and Weather Painter laughed out loud.

"Why are they laughing, uncle?" Ask Indra to Avalance.

"In Nibiru's head there was only a fight, he didn't have time to look for a candidate, he didn't have time to look for a candidate, then Vifirie was no longer allowed to bring in candidates after the last candidate he brought was a traitor after being appointed a Great Witch." Answer Avalance.

"You mean... Before becoming a Great Witch, Opstann was a candidate brought by Vifirie?" Ask Indra again.

Indra knows that the person Avalance refers to is Opstann, actually Indra does not know the details. But so far only Opstann is the Great Witch who ever stepped down from his position.

"The other interesting fact is that me, your father, and your uncle Avalance are the ones who managed to become a Great Witch after being the candidate brought by Vifirie." Answer Weather Painter.

"In addition, all candidates brought in are entitled to become Great Magicians if they qualify and successfully pass all of their exams." Ignis.
