36. Negotiation (2)

When asked about the witch’s curse, most of them would answer like this.

When a witch’s curse is applied, she dies. Give up on life the moment you become the target of the curse. There is no way to break the curse.

But there’s really no way to break the curse. She thought she just didn’t know.

“…We just have to pay a heavy price to use magic. It’s convenient with your cooperation, but it’s not essential.”

“I think it’s foolish to take the loss because of that.”

“Even if I tell you how to break the curse, what if you don’t keep your promise?”

“Make sure to keep your promises.”

The witch’s face was full of disbelief.

With no trust in each other, even if they tried to use magic to forcibly enforce promises, they could get suspicious, so they didn’t dare to say anything.

As the witch rolled her eyes and thought about it, Froden spoke to her and stopped her thinking.

“Then let’s do this.”

The witch’s eyes, which had lost her focus, turned to herself.

“Tell me just one way to break the curse. Then I will agree.”

“Do you say one or all, are they not the same?”

“It’s okay if that one method is difficult to implement. Is there an easy way or a hard way? I am asking you to tell me about one of the most difficult ways.”

“The hardest way.”

There were plenty of witches who would spit out information anyway. Among them, the most negotiable opponent is just the witch in front of her right now.

If you know even one way to get rid of the curse, you have achieved your goal.

The witch kept her mouth shut and thought about her, then she opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.

The words that came out of her mouth were the information she had waited and waited for and could not find.

“Kill her witch.”

Her words made me smile.

The hardest way the witch thought of has long since become the easiest way.

I wanted to take out the Walpurgis right now and slit the grateful witch’s throat, but I held back.

“Are you telling me to kill the cursed witch?”

“Yes. If you do that, the curse will be lifted automatically. To be precise, the witch’s wish is canceled.”

“Just one more question,”

At those words, the witch’s eyes became fierce.

Realizing what she was misunderstanding, Froden pacified her witch.

“I’m not trying to break a promise. I just have a question.”

“Whoa. Ask. I will answer with service.”

“A curse that makes the soul leave for a while, the wish witches say. Will that be canceled if I kill the witch who granted that wish?”

“You mean the fiancé.”

The witch raised her hand and pretended to hold the pipe. She looked at her hand, feeling empty, then shook her head.

This is why habits are scary.

Muttering quietly, the witch waved her hands and let out a sigh.

It was too much to be stopped by that human and lose the initiative. No matter how you answer now, it’s questionable whether you’ll keep your promise in the end.

The witch pondered countless times in her head for a short period of time. The worry was short, and the answer came.

“Right. All wishes are the same.”

“I wanted to hear that answer.”

Assuming all situations, I came up with the best answer, and prepared words to attack that human next time, but I couldn’t assume this situation.

In front of my eyes, a human hand blurred, and before I knew it, I was looking at my body.

My brain, not recognizing the situation, went blind. When the head giving the command to the upright body disappeared, it collapsed like a puppet with a thread cut off.

As blood spurted from the cut surface of the severed neck and wetted his face, his brain recognized the situation.

And in the blurred vision, I saw a human lift a foot and stomp it down.

I faintly heard a terrible sound, and my consciousness was cut off.

“Ouch!”

I opened my eyes and reflexively moved my hand to touch his neck.

A sigh of relief burst out at the sensation of being able to see and hear the well-smooth neck, the exhaled breath.

It didn’t take long for the relief to turn to anger.

I knew he wouldn’t keep his promise, but he cut his throat without hesitation. There were no crazy people.

“It’s black.”

Even if magic is invoked from a dream, it is not without side effects.

The last time I used explosion magic to blow away the duke and Gongja, I blocked it with defensive magic so there was no comparison, but this time it was different.

The price of experiencing death, even for a moment, was great.

As if the organs in my body were damaged, dead blood flowed up my airways and I spontaneously coughed.

I made a wish while watching the black dead blood soaking my clothes.

“Healing.”

In return, a notification came that about two of the sacrifices that had been agreed upon had died.

I didn’t use Restoration Wish because it wasn’t good value for money, but I couldn’t help it now.

The witch habitually lit a cigarette with a pipe.

“Whoa.”

It did not take long for the sharp cigarette smoke to fill the room.

Meanwhile, as Froden decapitated the witch, he opened her eyes at the place where she had laid her body.

“This is the place where I closed my eyes earlier.”

As expected, it seemed to have been brought there by the same magic as last time. If that’s the case, it’s the same as saying that the witch who cut her head earlier isn’t dead yet.

The image of witches preparing for revenge was naturally drawn, but soon, when I thought of the magic they were preparing, my worries disappeared.

She also told Elin last time that witches need a great price to kill her.

What’s more important now is to check with other witches if this information is true.

She has a feeling that the witch couldn’t have lied, but she can’t trust her intuition and act.

If that’s false. She believed the word and killed her countess if the curse was not lifted.

On the contrary, if the curse is in a state where it can never be lifted.

Even if you regret it later, it will be too late. Even if it’s like going back for a while, you need to check it out.

“It’s not too far now.”

I hope there are clues in the witch’s house.

Froden prayed and prayed while looking at the distance marked on the compass.

———————

I found it.

She has finally found a way to break Tina’s curse.

She finally found a way to kick her f*cking b*tch out of her.

“Finally…”

Froden laughed as he wiped the blood off her Walpurgis.

The miserable witch’s house that randomly popped up around me was already out of my mind.

It didn’t matter if her entrails were scattered on the floor or her decapitated body.

What matters to you now is that the way the damn witch said it was true.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

After she arrives at the witch’s house, she is disappointed that no matter how much she searches, there is no information.

As if someone gave you a gift, the witches came to please you.

Thanks to that, I was convinced of the way the witch spoke, so I couldn’t say how grateful she was.

Even if it’s a corpse that is dying and cooling down. A word of thanks came out of nowhere.

“Uni, can you hear me? Go to a nearby town for a while and wait, then tell me where to go. I will join you there.”

I couldn’t stop laughing. As she giggled like a madman, she notified Uni, and the answer came right away.

Fortunately, it’s not that far away.

Froden set fire to the witch’s house full of books with magic and came out.

The cleverly hidden house was instantly engulfed in magical flames.

The sight of the fire engulfing information about the witch along with her corpse spits out black smoke.

Froden turned away as she sorted out the information she had already crammed into her head.

“Three minutes before starting the warp device. Those who are moving, please stay still in your seat.”

Leaving the witch’s house and arriving at a nearby village with a warp device, Froden made the village with Uni as her destination.

After 3 minutes, the mana moved and the device started operating.

My vision brightened and the scenery around me changed. I left the warp area at the device manager’s words that my mana had stabilized and I could move.

“Young master. You came because you wanted to see me. Your body is ready. Come on!”

“Looks like things have already been resolved. You can see how bright it is.”

Ellin greeted Froden while skillfully blocking Yuni who was talking nonsense. She seemed to be not in very good shape yet, so she greeted her with a slightly haggard face, and she felt grateful to her.

If she wasn’t friendly, and she was living for her self-satisfaction like the possessor.

A way to find Tina, a sword that can kill a witch, and preparations for the distant future of the end of the world.

She couldn’t have done all that.

“I found a way to break the curse.”

But it’s too early to express her gratitude now.

She hasn’t even killed all the witches, and she hasn’t stopped the destruction of her world yet.

And I still haven’t gotten Tina back.

“To do that, Uni, I need your help.”

“If you need my body, feel free to use it. Instead, Mr. Is inside.”

As if familiar, Elin covered her mouth and glanced at Froden and quietly took the lead. Uni did not resist, and she quietly went into the quarters.

“What is the way to break the curse?”

In the game, there was only one way to block spells, wishes, and curses before they were activated.

Did you not set it up, or did you not put it in because you didn’t know? There was not a single bit of information about him.

“Just kill the witch who put the curse.”

The method that came out of Proden’s mouth was very simple. And it was also the hardest way.

If there wasn’t Walpurgis who could kill the witch, it would have been almost impossible.

“Is there any other way? Like the witch canceling the wish herself.”

“Will the witches do that?”

At that, her mouth fell shut. Those vicious women can’t do that.

Elin sighed and looked at her Uni.

“So what do you need help with?”

At her words, Yuni grabbed her own collar and prepared her.

“Take off…”

“Take off your clothes.”

“Yes?”

Uni’s body, which was just pretending to say that, stopped suddenly as if using a stop spell. Elin was no exception.

This person. Have you finally gone crazy?
