Finally we went to the location specified on the map Himara gave us. It is far from the city on foot. Artex also forbade me to make a vehicle because I didn't want to make anyone suspicious.
The route we took was very open. We walked on public streets listed on the map. On the road we met someone, a middle-aged man whose path was hunchback. "Hello, young man. Where do you want to go?"
"Good day, sir. We want to go to an abandoned forest near the Field Village." Answer me
"Why are you going there?"
"We intend to meet the organization of witches who are there. We're investigating them."
"Oh, huh? Be careful when you get there."
"Why indeed?"
"In the village already appeared some rumors about the forest near the village. Reportedly some women, girls, children until girls often disappear while on the way to go from the village or return to the village."
"Eh? What's going on in there?"
"Every time I go through that forest, I always feel bad air. Both day and night, it was always thought of the danger near me every time I passed it."
"Is there anything strange about that?"
"A long time ago there was a sorcerer's society. They always help us whenever we seem to be in trouble. Well, even if it's just near the woods. Their goal is very good, which is to protect the forest and eradicate the criminals who intend bad to the forest. But all their goals were lost for no reason. Two days ago there was one of them who ran out of the forest. He ran to us for help, but we were only limited to people who depended on the environment. We can't do anything to her."
"You said a witch was running around. "Was he been arrested by a man wearing a suit of armor?" Artex.
"Yes. But it looks like he's not arrested, but he's the one who's asking the people in armor for help."
"That means he's the one Himara told us about." Artex. "If you may know, where is the forest?"
"You want to go there? Don't try to harm yourself after something dangerous happens to the villagers!" the Father seems to be worried about us.
"Don't worry, sir. We just want to investigate. There's no need for anything other than that." I tried to convince him.
"Oh, investigate, huh? All right then. But if you guys find anything dangerous, please don't deal too much with them. We have not seen another witch in two days. We're so worried about their situation."
"Ready!"
"You just walk on the main road of Lapang Village. After coming out of the village, just stay straight and you will see a sign that says Peace Forest."
"Thank you for the help." Artex.
Then we entered the village to go to the Peace Forest. Upon entering the village, everyone ignored our arrival. It may be common for foreigners to visit their villages. Although many walked here and there, none of them greeted.
...~Π~...
We finally arrived at the Peace Forest. Once near the forest, I felt a bad feeling. But Artex was different, he just looked ahead without a doubt. I'm sure he's been through this a lot.
We also moved into the forest. Tracing the ins and outs of the interior of his forest. Only trees, rocks, and rivers were found. A few hundred meters later, we found a suspicious cave. The outer appearance is emblazoned with a circle-shaped symbol carved in such a way. I bet it must be the epitome of their organization.
In the cave there is an L-shaped staircase that gives access to go up or down. We went down to search his place. But after setting foot at the bottom of the cave, there was a sound of foot beating from above. They must be the witches. We hurried to find a hiding place and ended up staying under the stairs covered by a pile of items. Fortunately, the stairs did not have any gaps, all of them were tightly closed by wood.
The witches came down carrying a woman and a girl tied to different bamboos. They put it down and recited a spell. Suddenly a red devil figure appeared with the accompaniment of black smoke.
After the smoke no longer covered his gaze, he said "As usual, your work is excellent!"
"Thank you, Mister!" said one of the witches.
"Hurry up and bring the tools!" said partner.
One of them went to pick up his 'tool'. But the tool in question is not something that can be expected. He brought a handful of axes in his hand. Perhaps, he would kill those two women?!
The other witch untied the adult woman and still left the ties on her hands and feet. The woman was made to lie by the witch. The magician carrying an axe approached the woman and prepared to swing his axe. The woman panicked half-dead at the death that was very close to her. He tried to scream but in vain, his mouth was already covered by the ties of cloth on his head. Now the axe was cast on his stomach which made blood splash to and fro.
I feel like throwing up to see it. Even though I have killed someone, but if I see someone else being killed it is not hearty. But compared to Artex, he saw it happen firmly without any pressure.
"We'd better save them!" I whispered to Artex.
But at his leisure Artex replied, "Wait a minute. We still don't know what they mean."
I refute his words. "Are you crazy?! We just saw an attempted murder! And you still want to wait for him to be finished?!"
"I understand how you feel. But will we be able to save her with just the two of us? Especially in front of them was a demon as their master."
I could only hear the truth from him. Acting at will will only lead to suicide. I also try to hold back my feelings by observing the situation.
Their persecution does not end there. They took the contents from the woman's stomach. The woman continued to scream in pain until at last the person holding the axe immediately cut off her head. All the intestines that have been taken are now cut in length into pieces.
All the robed men took off their clothes and took one piece of each person's intestines. They did the unexpected. Everyone puts their genitals into their intestinal holes.
But Artex could only bite his own lips.
They screamed in excitement while shaking their intestines until they removed the white liquid in the other hole. The little girl who was carried by them panicked in fear because she was under threat of death.
I couldn't stand what they did and in the end I intervened. I made a shotgun I'd made in Virie's village before.
When I wanted to aim at the head of one of them, Artex held down his weapon. "Make one more gun for me." He seems to be tired of their behavior as well. We both got ready to kill them.
"How do I wear it?" artex.
I'm doing an eject on an Artex rifle. "Look how I'm holding it." I started to hit the target. "Use the binoculars to aim at your target. If the midpoint is right on the head, pull the trigger like this one on my index finger."
"All right." He did his orders well.
"I'll aim for the left and you for the right. Pull the trigger when I give you the cue."
We're ready to shoot.
"Now!"
Two bullets flying at the same time. Penetrating two heads and subverting them without feeling. The sound of such a loud gunshot was not missed making everyone aware of our presence. A gripping feeling was eating away at our bodies. Afraid our lives would end here.
Everyone is facing this direction. Preparing their weapons, a fireball created in hand, a handful of katanas pulled from the bamboo used to carry, as well as several axes taken again by someone.
Artex swiftly put his rifle on the ground and ran forward. Both of his hands took something under his cloak, then he threw two knives in succession. The two knives stuck to the witch's chest in front of her. He took out another knife under his cloak and used it as a means of defense.
He fended off the katana attack with his two knives. But the defense was very open, someone who used an axe hit him on the side. Then he pushed his knife and kicked the person in front of him. Then he slashed the neck of the person beside him and finally stabbed him so hard that he did not fight.
"It's exciting." Said the Devil. "Show me your devotion all this time!"
The person holding the fireball now fused his fire by patting both his palms. When it opened, the thing that had just been squeezed into a small one that then moved swiftly through his chest all the way to the back. After that it expands and devours the person. Instantly, his entire body was covered with flames forming the armor of a samurai. His head grew a pair of horns characterizing the demonic nature of his master.
Meanwhile, behind the shadows I was focusing on aiming at the enemy. First I shoot the guy who was kicked by Artex. Then my target now is his samurai. It only takes one pull and he'll fall.
But after I pulled the trigger, the bullet that was supposed to hit the samurai was now fended off by him with his fire katana. I was very surprised by his horrible reflexes. That fast he can fend off the bullet?
Artex took the katana lying down and drank the pink liquid he had previously bought. Two bottles he finished. Artex stepped forward slowly while waiting for the effect of the medicine to work. Then he ran while drawing his sword, but unfortunately he was stabbed by the samurai's fire katana. "Den! Go ahead!" his yell.
Inevitably I had to advance forward because my target was hindered by it. I reabsorbed the two rifles so that at least my mana was filled up a bit. I ran while carrying the trident I made.
The sword of fire that pierced Artex was released and Artex was thrown like a useless one. The samurai walked slowly ready to face me. When I finished my trident, the fire sword first cut the handle of the trident. The samurai raised his sword ready to split me. Panicking after seeing my weapon cut in half, I instantly made a shield the size of my body capable of withstanding the attacks from the fire sword. After one of his attacks was carried out on a shield, he continuously launched numerous attacks that made me unable to hold him back.
"Damn it! I have to how." In panic I thought as hard as I could. "Oh yes, the whole body is made of fire." Right now I'm thinking of putting out the fire. I'm planning to make a lot of water molecules to spray them out. I raised my hand and created a water ball. But after finishing producing, instead of spraying on the water instead flooded all over my body. "Bpr!" I forgot that I'm not a waterbender, I can only create without controlling it
A moment later, the samurai stopped attacking. I was curious and took off my shield, and all I saw was that his neck had been pierced by a katana. Artex continued to press his katana until it pierced through his armor. He ripped the neck of the person inside until the fire that enveloped him disappeared. Not ending there, Artex cut off his head until separated.
"Good is your strength." The devil from a height. "True me and I will give you more power than you have!"
Artex shouted and threw the knife he picked up at the demon. "Shut your mouth!"
The devil fended it off with only the back of his hand. "Are you going to waste your chance to become stronger?"
"Rather than being an ugly demon slave, I'd rather be a royal lackey!" reply Artex.
"All right then." His hands moved like they were grasping something. The internal organs that had been used by the witches floated up to him. The contents of the liquid inside came out, both white and blood liquid. All of its liquids come together and come together to form a new group of individuals. They all live off of a mixture of***** and blood?!
"Maybe there's no other choice but to fight him head-on." My speech. "Artex, can you target the one above? I will crush his army. I'll make way for you to approach him." This time I did not hesitate to spend all my energy. I made a minigun in my hand. Yeah, it's heavy for me.
"No need. I can do it myself." He suddenly cut off his left hand and threw it at the demon above.
I don't understand what the purpose is. But I don't care about that. I just need to shoot all his troops with this gun of mine.
But before that, I remembered the other girl that the witches had brought. I quickly untied him and told him to get out of here. "Hurry up and find a way out and get help for yourself."
"Thank you!" said it.
I continued my plan to shoot them out. The noise of gunfire encouraged me to continue to finish off the enemy. It might be weird, but I'm starting to like this kind of atmosphere. I kept shooting without hesitation. Every time I show up I shoot. It was easy for me to shoot those who were still silently perfecting their form.
All the enemies I've eliminated and nothing else is created from the lump of liquid. When I saw Artex, he somehow defeated that floating demon. He landed while standing on the demon.
I ran to him to see his condition. "It's great that you can defeat him who's flying!"
"Not to be discussed. I was still scared when I approached him. Besides, I saw a portal above. Maybe there's something in it."
I looked up and right, there was a blue portal there. "All right!" I made a ladder to reach it. We walked up to him with a body covered in blood—and probably a mix of his sperm as well. This is so bad.
After we entered the portal, we were treated to a view of the dense forest and illuminated with blue light. But there was one more thing that surprised me. "Eh, Saa?!"
