Chapter 154.2: Archwitch of Wetland VS High Priest of Fly And Maggot
Heqat took out a talisman from her robe.
Zalbuth retreated upon seeing that.
Maybe he realized that he couldn't defeat Heqat with his talisman arts.
「Now it's my turn. RibbitRibbitRibbit. Come forth! Great Kettle!」
A huge kettle then appeared in the air.
It was a magic tool called the great kettle of the witch.
All of Heqat's disciples had their own great kettle.
That great kettle had multiple functions ranging from concocting medicine to poison among many other things.
Almost all potions that existed in this world were in fact created by Heqat.
The great kettle of the witch's great-mother was a huge black kettle.
Heqat then used her twisted cane to stir the content of that great kettle.
「Sti~r Sti~r Stir, Sti~r Sti~r Stir. Stirring round and round till its color becomes brighter, shi~ne shine~. RibbitRibbitRibbit.」
Heqat stirred the kettle while chanting the aria.
Sti~r Sti~r Stir was the word of power used by witches when they stirred their great kettle.
All witches used the same aria. Even Kuna chanted "Sti~r Sti~r Stir" when she made potions using her great kettle.
Brilliant light shot forth from inside the great kettle when Heqat stirred her kettle.
Kuna felt a strong magical power from within.
「Ugh! What a terrifying magical power!」
Zalbuth stepped back as he felt the magical power emanating from the great kettle.
「Now take this! Seven Light of Solace!」
Seven colored lights shot out from the great kettle and headed to Zalbuth and co.
「Guuuuh! What the! Hundred Talisman Formation!」
Zalbuth unleashed his talisman to protect himself.
Alas, the light swept the army of the dead outside the protection area of the talisman.
The kin of death let out their death throes as they bathed in that light.
The seven lights of solace that were unleashed by Heqat was by nature, a healing magic. Alas, that healing magic was deadly poison for the kin of death.
Upon a closer look, the high-ranking undead such as specters and vampires were erased so easily by that light, so it must be quite powerful.
When the light receded, there were only a few kin of death left including the children of the reaper.
「Gigigigi. I never expected that my priest vestment would be in such a tattered state.」
Said Zalbuth as he touched his vestment with his hand that turned into that of an insect.
Zalbuth, who took the most damage from the light, already had turned into half of a giant fly.
The limbs of the fly were jutting out from the priest's vestment, his head turned into that of a round, one-eyed fly.
「Oh my? Did you survive? Well, it's not attack magic to begin with. RibbitRibbitRibbit. How about another round?」
Said Heqat as she laughed.
Zalbuth could still fight. But Heqat was powerful. It was clear from this confrontation that Heqat would always come out victorious.
「Naturally, Witch-dono. I just need to buy a bit more time to win.」
「What do you mean, Ribbit?」
I had to attack both the superior spirit and Zarxis.
Heqat had to distract Zalbuth during that time.
I need Glorious along with Guno and co's cooperation for defense.
The moment I thought so.
Suddenly, I felt a wave of warm magical power.
「Grrrrrr.」
Glorious roared again. There was no hostility in his roar this time.
Glorious seemed to have noticed that fact too.
「Why are you suddenly laughing like that? Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit.」
Heqat didn't seem to notice it.
She cocked her head when she saw Kuna smiling on her own.
「Have you not realized it, Heqat? Well, I guess we managed to buy time too.」
「RIBBIT!?」
Heqat couldn't hide her shock.
She then looked in a certain direction.
「Ribbit!? Has he already recovered? What kind of power is this?!」
Heqat shook her head as if she couldn't believe it.
But, Kuna believed it.
Naturally, the same goes for Glorious.
The black flame that rose to the heavens unfolded before us.
「O the embodiment of Apophis (Darkness Serpent) and Skoll (Darkness Wolf)! The Personification of Rahula (Rahu Star) of Navagraha (Nine Heavenly Body)!! Light Eater; Eclipse!!」
His lovely voice resounded in Kuna's ears.
A Black Dragon appeared from within the black flame and rushed toward Níðhöggr.
Eclipse, the superior spirit of darkness, pinned down Níðhöggr, the superior spirit of the earth.
「Kuh! Eclipse!? How can it be!? You should be weakened due to the shadow of mother, right!? Have you already recovered!?」
Zarxis was shouting in frustration.
Everyone was looking up to the sky.
The black flame spread in the gray-colored sky.
And the figure of the Dark Knight stood in the middle of those black flames.
「Zarxis! This is a continuation of the battle at the Death Capital!」
The recovered Kuroki then pointed his demon sword of venous blood at Zarxis.
The battle between the Reaper and the Dark Knight was about to begin.
