There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

23 – Witch Hunt -7

“Porter! Are you all right!”

Raina jumped down through the gap in the collapsed ceiling.

Is this how it felt when the people of Camille Village waited?

It’s very chewy.

“Yes. I’m still alive.”

“What a joke in this situation..”

“If my mouth is heavy, it would be painful to see it as it is.”

“I’d rather not talk..”

She was having an unpoetic conversation with her when a scream came from beside her.

“Quaaagh!”

A witch who seems to be fine even after being hit by an arrow, is getting up while cleaning up the rubble.

Is it not the swamp witch, but the cockroach witch?

I must have had my eyes pierced earlier

‘Still, it’s a boss mob.’

Reina opened her mouth as she prepared for battle.

“Porter. Be sure to tell me about that spirit later.”

‘Didn’t you put it in my bag?’

Kywadol, what the hell are you?

“First of all, how do I do that?”

The witch held me and Reina in her field of vision with her eyes bloodshot as if in rage.

“Everyone, this guy and that guy, dare..!

It doesn’t matter if at least one ingredient is broken! I will kill both of you right here!”

“Porter, come behind me.”

Oh heart attack

What is Girl Crush?

As we hid behind the dependable Reina, her hideous tentacles sprouted from all over the witch’s body and flew towards us.

“Chase!”

– Puck!

-f*ck!

The arrows that left her fingertips intercepted the flying tentacles one after another, but the endlessly regenerating tentacles stretched out without giving up, as if trying to win.

“Haaa!”

When the hero who appeared at the right time aimed at the witch’s side with her holy sword, a gap was created in an instant.

“Pierce!”

Reina’s penetrating machine pierced her witch’s belly, creating a hole the size of her fist where she passed.

“Cool..!”

A witch who tries to keep her champion away from her with her tentacles even as blood pours out of her mouth.

“Where..!”

However, when her holy sword touched the witch’s tentacles, it rapidly lost its shape and collapsed.

“Keep it off…”

It was hard to ignore the pain her holy sword gave her. As she moaned and watched her own tentacles disappear, something pure white shook behind her.

“Sacred Chain.”

Polaris, whose forehead was dripping with sweat as if he had run hard behind her, spread his chain.

-Charleuk charreuk

The holy chain of a saintess that roughly bumps against the witch’s hideous tentacles.

‘The realization of the level of fighting between the saint and the witch.’

I watched with her mouth open at the sight of her breasts becoming magnificent.

However, she soon saw only a frustrated witch with only a few chains left on her hands in front of three daggers, as if there was no business with her head.

“This… This is nonsense…”

‘I know what that feeling is.’

If you consider them enemies once, there are thugs who will cut you down without mercy.

“Polaris.”

“Yes, warrior.”

Polaris suddenly removes her chain that was blocking her in an advantageous situation that can be seen by anyone who hits the last blow.

The witch didn’t miss the chance and used her few remaining tentacles to spur her land and escape.

…?

“That’s running away…?”

“Leave it alone.”

“..Yes?”

Is that running away?

Don’t you catch it?

“It’s okay. Not everyone is here.”

“I don’t like it, but I want to hold it with my own hands.”

“I wanted to finish it… But I’m really sorry.”

Oh yes

I thought it was quiet for some reason, but no one was there.

‘Well, if it’s him, he’ll be able to do what Cassie asked for.’

***

“Damn…Damn…!”

A woman was running across a swamp in her tattered clothes.

‘I’m almost there, what is this..!

Was it too hasty… At least if he came after turning Cathy into a witch…!’

I thought it was a fight that would still be worth trying if it had gone according to plan.

‘How much time did I spend in this town because of her..!’

The reason why the witches planted in the village could not move even though they were all executed by the villagers.

The time I couldn’t move while raising a newly born witch in the face of despair felt very wasteful.

‘No, it’s not over yet. You can start from scratch in another town. From there, I will lead the witches and avenge myself.

And especially that man must be found and turned into a ghoul..!’

“Yes. Where are you going like that?”

Stand up

Where no one should be

There was someone

“I mean, I hate you guys so much. It’s funny. Why are you blaspheming innocent wizards by pretending to be stupid?”

‘The Little Wizard of the Warriors’ Party…’

“I don’t understand. Even if you struggle all your life, you won’t be able to keep up with even the dirt on your toes, so why do you put so much effort into replacing people?”

If she had been in good shape, she would have tried to tear her little boy, the mage she doesn’t like, to shreds.

‘It’s dangerous now…’

As she ran away, she consumed a lot of her tentacles, so now all she had left was her body. Moreover, even her body had holes in her eyes and stomach.

You’re nervous like a mouse in front of a cat.

“I’ll get out of the way, so run away.”

‘What is that b*tch talking about now?’

Although she told her unbelievable stories, it was a temptation that she had no choice but to accept as she was not in a position to cover her cold or hot meal.

‘Be lucky, kid.

How long had it been since she had run away from the wizard in front of her?

The moment Perigitte’s feet touched the ground.

“Prison.”

“Quaaah!”

In an instant, a small force field created from the ground severed her right ankle.

Her head couldn’t keep up with what had just happened when she heard footsteps approaching her from behind.

“Hey, hey. How was it? I begged next to the porter, and he finally told me, so I tried it, and he said he could use the magic he thought he would only confine. He’s so amazing. He doesn’t even know how to use magic, but he’s good at theories. ! You look closer to the truth than anyone I know! The more you look, the more attractive you are?”

“Ugh..Ah..”

“Huh? Why is that? You only have one ankle. Is that the only desire to live?”

Monster.

“It’s strange? Other witches curse and die while burning their bodies. You claim to be a great witch. Then you shouldn’t have to endure more than they do.”

That wasn’t a kid, it was a monster.

“Come on, run away again. I’ll count to 10 or so.”

“Why…Why are you doing this…”

“I just told you, I hate you guys. And isn’t that obvious?”

I felt like I was going to lose my mind when I saw the monster tilting its head and spitting out human words.

“It’s a witch. You have to hunt witches. So, wasn’t it a witch hunt?”

“One.”

“Hey!”

Lip limp

I began to frantically run away from the monster, relying only on one foot.

And exactly 10 seconds later.

Kyaaa!

This time, the left arm flew through the air.

“Ah..aaa!!”

“What’s wrong? It’s just the beginning. Let’s count again. One.”

“Huuu…!”

Facing the undeniable fear, the body tried to get away from the monster on its own before reason could follow.

So

The other ankle rolled on the ground.

“Keuk.. Ugh..”

I hear the monster’s footsteps behind me again.

I struggled to free myself, dragging my body with my free hand.

‘Oh.’

The outstretched arm was separated from the body and the eyes met the ground.

“Hee hee hee hee..This must be a dream..Yes..! It must be a dream..! Archwitch Perigitte can’t die in a place like this!!”

“What is it? It’s already over? I thought I’d run away even if I rolled, but I gave up so quickly. It’s okay. I need to finish it now.”

“No..Stop it..!”

“Free..”

The monster in front of him was more terrifying than anything he had ever seen. He was the one he never wanted. Yeah like…

“Vs..Witch..”

“…”

In the middle of the chant, it stopped.

Has there been hope that I can live for a while? A light of relief passed in Perigitte’s eyes.

The head of the woman called the Great Witch creaked up, and her voice sounded as if it was being cut.

“You can’t do it. As expected, witches should be sent like witches.”

Red energy gathered around Perigit, and gradually began to sway as they gathered together.

“Ah..No..Don’t do it..!”

“Die.”

“No!! I hate it!!”

“Ignition.”

As soon as her chant ended, a pillar of fire rose high enough to pierce the sky, enough to dry out the swamp for a moment.

***

“That’s hot.”

I could see a pillar of fire in the distance from the cabin.

“Shouldn’t you have informed me in advance. Then I wouldn’t have had to come to this dangerous situation…”

“There is a saying that if you want to fool your enemies, you must fool your friends first.”

“What the hell is that all about? Why is it necessary to fool allies when you can fool your enemies?”

Gee, it must have been too difficult for a dwarf.

“How long have you known?”

The warrior approached me and asked.

“I had doubts when we first met, but I was sure from the moment I went home.

I knew that witches raise children.”

“But why didn’t you tell me right away?”

“If you told me to kill someone because I saw the future, would I do it?”

“That’s…”

“That’s why I watched over time. While laying out the board like this, I was sure.

The trust between us isn’t that deep enough that you can kill someone just by trusting my words.”

“…”

“Ah, what else are you so depressed about? It’s okay. I know what you’re going to think in that situation.”

A warrior whose expression only brightens after hearing my words.

“I’m glad you said that. We still have a lot of time. Trust is something we have to build in the future.”

What are you talking about?

Wasn’t we going to the Empire next?

You tricked me, hero?

“But it is true that I was reckless. As a party member, I cannot tolerate the risky behavior of my comrades.”

“I saw how Talia’s spell worked on me before. When I saw that, I thought she’d come to catch me.”

“Anyway…”

“You actually came. That’s it. And that would be better than going to the point where you all doubt me, right?

Anyway, how bloody did it get when we first met.”

“Keuk! Kkeukheum! We cleared up our misunderstandings about that, so why don’t we stop now?”

“Is that so?”

‘I haven’t forgotten the arrow that flew towards me yet.’

“And that’s a personal thing. The way witches treat children reminds them of the people they’ve been indebted to. It’s annoying. So on the other hand, I kind of wished it wasn’t the case.”

“Because I owe you…”

“Above all, what do you do in front of the kids? If you know that the person who took you away was actually your enemy… I’ll never tell you.”

Reina nodded her head as if she understood my actions.

“Is that so… Oh, what about the children?”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Polaris approached from behind and answered.

“I’m going to contact the Order and arrange for you to stay in the convent.”

From being destined to be a witch to being a nun…

‘It’s much better.’

“Porter~!”

Suddenly, I began to see a red, two-headed mesgaki running from afar.

‘Thinking about it, I don’t think he’ll be easy…’

Looking at her way of speaking, I should say it’s fortunate that she seems happy right after she cursed the witch.

“Look at your body! Are you hurt?

“Yes, I’m fine.. No, where are you going now!”

“No, I have to check carefully.”

In a swampy area like this, even a small wound can be a big problem, right? So take it off!”

There is a saintess, what are you talking about?

Wouldn’t this be taken as blasphemy?

“..Stop it Talia. The porter is in trouble.”

“Sheesh. Why are you so picky these days, warrior?”

“..It must be because of my mood.”

The seriousness of the moment went nowhere and the atmosphere quickly relaxed.

Suddenly, even though the pillar of fire had disappeared long ago, I felt that the surroundings were bright, so I turned my head and looked at her.

“Ah.”

I could see the sun rising from the edge of the swamp.

“I stayed up all night…”

***

After reporting the witch subjugation to Marco. The last thing she had to do in town, she took a heavy step.

So we stood in front of the door for a while.

“Porter, I guess I…”

“..I will do it.”

“Are you my sister?”

“..Me, Miss Cathy.”

Unlike before, I could see her opening the door wide.

“I’m on my way back after defeating the witches. There won’t be any more witches in the village.”

“Really? Really! Thanks brother!”

When she said that she had killed the witch, her heart tightened when she saw her leaping with joy.

“Wait… I’m on my way after defeating the witch…?”

“..What about your sister?”

“…”

“What’s wrong, tell me oppa. What about Lizzie?”

“…”

“..Isn’t it?”

“Ms. Cathy…”

“Sister…Where has Lizzie gone!”

“I’m sorry I lied to you last night.. Actually, Mr. Lizzie was kidnapped by a witch on the way to her inn with me. By the time we arrived, it was already…”

“…”

Hearing my words, tears welled up in her eyes, which had been in a daze, and eventually burst out.

“Huh.. Black…”

She held her crying in her arms and stroked her hair.

“Don’t cry Miss Cathy. Lizzie, until the very end she refused to become a witch and left her as your sister.”

Periget. Your actions are disgusting, but I must die as Lizzie for the sake of my children.

“Sniffly..Brother..”

“Yes. Please tell me.”

“Witch…What happened to your promise to me…?”

“I took care of it as promised. However, I can’t give you more details because Miss Kathy is too young now, but I’ll tell you all about it later when I’m older.”

“I don’t mind…But I’m rather relieved to say that. Thanks oppa.”

“Are you okay?”

“If she doesn’t have a sister, I’ll have to play that role from now on. She helped a lot with her sister’s work, so I can do it too.”

‘He sure is strong for his age. It’s heartbreaking to see him grow up so early.’

“The saint wants you to enter a convent. How is it?”

“A convent?”

“Yes. It will be better than here.”

“Doesn’t the mask fall apart?”

“I’ll ask the saintess for that.”

“Um…”

She pondered for a moment before she answered.

“Anyway, I don’t think this is something I’ll decide on my own. Some kids might not like it.”

“Then, if the decision is made later, you can inform the priest in the village.”

“Okay brother.”

She slammed the door and ran back to me.

“Now I’m telling you, you haven’t looked very trustworthy until now? All of a sudden you seem fine.”

“You have a brother.”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t it okay to go listen when you grow up?”

“Yes? Oh, yes, of course.”

“Okay. Then wait.”

-Side

Cathy kissed me on the cheek and she went straight into the house.

‘Is that a pure emotional expression of childhood?’

Seeing her contrast with the situation when she once entered the house with the words that she wanted revenge, something in her heart jumped.

In the game, Perigit had a pattern of summoning a witch stronger than herself in the middle and attacking with pincers. On the other hand, all I saw was a hooked-nosed witch who evaporated on the cross. If I didn’t step out like Camille Village, would Cassie be destined to become that witch?

I looked up at the sky and asked a question.

‘I did the same thing this time, but can you give me something nice, goddess?’

Of course, there was still no reply.

Behind me while I was thinking that, there were people with particularly dark expressions.

“A warrior.”

“Yes.”

“I just felt bad again.”

“Me too.”

“..Why?”

So we moved toward our next destination, the Empire, receiving cheers from the villagers.

To the empire where I will settle down and live.
