Resurrection of the Witch

Translated by NotBlueYet

As we were making our way through the cave, the ground suddenly shook a lot.

I wobble on the spot, tangling my feet, and resist the urge to fall by placing my hand on the door.

The shaking stopped after a while.

“What was that ……?”

I twist my head around, but decide it’s no use thinking about it.

I’ve had a lot of help from my friends to get to this point.

The one thing that everyone wants from me is to save Natalie.

More fired up, I make my way deeper into the cave.

After a short drive, I spotted a black painted double door.

There was no sign of a magic circle carved into the door, and when he put his strength into the door, it opened easily.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see a path made of stone, with an altar behind it.

On the altar, Natalie was lying in chains, and in front of her stood a man in a black hat.

“I want Natalie back!”

“You’re too late, I’m sorry, but she’s gone, and in her place, she’ll be waking up shortly.”

The man in the black hat turns around and smirks at me.

I didn’t fully understand what the guy meant.

But I felt such indignation that the veins in my head snapped.

“You eh–!”

Instantly, the magic power is spread throughout the body to strengthen the body.

Then I kicked the ground and started running.

At the same time, the man in the black hat raises his right hand.

“The Hammer of Fire.”

From the sky above, a huge mallet clad in flames appeared and swung down towards me.

“Efreet!”

He emits flames of karma from his right arm and destroys the mallet.

The rocks that melt in the heat of the sun are like a blaze of fire.

The cobblestone path leading up to the altar rapidly heated up.

“Gravitational pull release!”

I emanate magic power from my body and use gravity magic to escape into the sky.

In the next moment, the ground transformed into a lava earth.

If I had delayed my escape even a little, I would have been hit by the scorching earth.

Cold sweat trickles and falls down my cheeks.

But I instantly switched my thoughts and started chanting.

“Red dragon that burns the heavens, show yourself and soar.”

From both of my arms, a crimson red dragon wrapped in raging fire is released.

I imagined it based on the symbol of Sanzar Academy and made the red dragon appear.

Because it is not spirit magic, the red dragon has no will.

But when it comes to dragons, they are unreasonably violent.

The image directly affects the magic, creating a destructive force.

The red dragon came close to swallowing the man in the black hat.

“Let the flames be still in my control.”

The man in the black hat touches the red dragon with his bare hands.

At that moment, the red dragon couldn’t keep its shape and shattered, scattering fire dust.

There is some surprise that the Red Dragon was destroyed in an instant.

But that’s about the extent of what I can expect.

I was hiding behind the red dragon as I approached the man in the black hat up close.

I put magic power into my right hand and made a clenched fist.

Then attacked the man.

“Iron Fist Fight.”

But my best shot didn’t hit the guy.

An iron fist rips through the air and shatters the floor where the fist had slammed into it.

Right after that–

The Burning Earth.

The ground that the fist pierced becomes as hot as lava and begins to burn and melt.

I quickly release my arm and strengthen my body.

Then, as I flew upwards, I made the shape of a gun with my right hand.

With my index finger, I focused on the man – that’s when.

“O decayed souls of the dead, become the flames of the underworld and spread your vengeance.”

The glowing bellflower flames were rushing towards me.

Immediately afterwards, flames burst into flame with a roaring sound in front of me.

The explosion caused flames to pierce every part of my body.

I was also hit by the momentum of the bursting flames and was blown backwards.

It’s ……. ……

I was blown to near the entrance of the room, hit the wall, and fell to the floor.

Purple flames cling to my entire body, trying to scorch me.

Immediately, I chanted.

“The spray of God’s breath will envelop you.”

A gentle breeze that wraps around my entire body flows and knocks out the flames.

And I looked up quickly, and a moment later – suddenly Natalie started to move.

The chain vibrates as it clatters.

“Natalie!”

I shouted to her as she woke up.

“Ahhhh …… ahhhh.”

Natalie lets out a groan.

“It’s almost time, the One is about to descend.”

The man in the black hat turned his back on me, looked euphoric, and clasped his hands together toward Natalie.

Natalie groans and flails about like she’s lost her mind.

The chain crumbled raggedly as she moved.

I was speechless and watched the scene in amazement.

‘I can see you now.’

Right after the man muttered – the chains that held Natalie in place shattered.

When the restraints were released, Natalie sluggishly raised herself up and shook her head to check her surroundings.

For a moment, our gazes overlap.

A creeping feeling ran up my spine.

What’s with that Natalie transformation?

I couldn’t stop myself from shaking, even though it was Natalie who was there.

I’m scared, and my body is telling me I’m scared.

I feel like I’m going to be swallowed up by the miserable atmosphere radiating from her.

“We’ve been expecting you.”

The man in the black hat bowed respectfully to Natalie.

In response, Natalie mumbled a chant.

Shortly after, the man was gone from the neck up.

“Yeah, …….”

As I watched the scene with a blank stare, I was astonished by the sight before me.

Fresh blood dances from the man’s neck.

There was a shocking scene there.

The man who had been fighting until a moment ago fell to the floor with a thud and died in an instant.

Perhaps it was Natalie’s power that took the man’s life with a single word she uttered.

And the next thing I knew, Natalie was looking at me and huffing and laughing.

Before I can comprehend the situation, suddenly, Natalie disappears from the scene.

I felt a presence right beside me and turned my head.

Natalie stared at me with eyes that were not lit with emotion.

I don’t know what’s going on, and all I can do is look back at Natalie with a dumbfounded look on my face.

Natalie moved her glossy lips.

“Spatial Resection.”

Immediately after, my side was gutted.

It’s ……. It’s …….

It’s a good idea to know what’s going on in your life.

My vision shakes and I stagger.

Then, after moving a few steps, I lost my footing.

I let go of my consciousness as I fell into a darkness where I couldn’t see the bottom.

After the witch Natalie bought Owen down, she chanted in a small voice.

‘Spatial transition.’

Then, suddenly, the space in front of her rips open.

Beyond that, there was total darkness.

The witch Natalie slowly steps into it.

The next moment, she disappeared from the scene without a trace.
