Caenista Capture Operation 1

Help Flare? What had happened since I had left Caenista? The girl in front of me was frightened, but she stepped forward desperately and turned her strong eyes on me.

I looked at her friends, not knowing what was going on, but they were all so stiff that it felt like they were struggling to breathe, so I stopped “pressuring” them.

Then, one man’s eyes widened as he collapsed, as if his strength had been drained from him.

“…Eh? Eh? Why is Witch-san here? Or rather, Demon Lord….sama?”

His stunned voice and expression reminded me of that person as well.

“Are you Nicholas, by any chance?”

“Yes! Yes, it’s Nicholas! Are you really Witch-san?” 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

“Yes, I am. But well, I am now called [Demon Lord-san] I guess.”

I answered lightly, and Nicholas, Cam’s friend and butler, was astonished.

After inheriting the former Demon Lord’s legacy and coming this far, it was difficult to say that the Demon Lord had nothing to do with me. But how could he, Cam’s first aide, be here with Flare’s followers? Anyway, I need to find out what is going on with them.

As I looked at them sideways, who were beginning to be puzzled whether they knew about the [Rose Witch] that was famous in the royal capital, as I returned a little the way I came, I retrieved the desired object from the queen’s body, whose upper body had been blown off.

“There it is.”

“…What is that?”

“Something that allows one to contract with a spirit.”

A glowing ball of semi-spiritual matter, similar to my fusion tool. It was a magical tool for making a contract with a spirit that had fused with the queen. I carelessly crushed the magical tool with my power in front of Nicholas, who was staring at it with interest.

“Aaahh!”

“That’s annoying Nicholas.”

As the shattered magical artifact disappeared as particles of light, the nearby earth rose to reveal a huge rock beast.

The Great Spirit of the Earth seemed to have become even more emaciated because of the fight with me. Still, it looked a little happy because of its liberation. But why did it not return to the spirit world? Perhaps it felt indebted to me?

If it didn’t want to return, I would ask it to mix with the land around here. Looking around, I could see that the number of spirits had decreased considerably.

When I mentioned this, the Great Spirit of the Earth nodded slightly and quietly disappeared into the ground.

Because of Alice, there have been very few spirits. If the Great Spirit settled in, I think the other spirits would naturally come back. I nodded to myself, thinking that I had done a good thing, and I received another message from the [system].

(Message.Earth Arch Elemental>> Erde)

Message from the Great Spirit? Erde? It had a name… I wonder what the message was?

“‘I will return to the city and take a look’ it said.”

I left my thoughts for later, called out to Nicholas and the others, and looked back toward the city. The Caenista army was beginning to lose ground, so I guess I could leave the rest to the others. Anyway, there were many things I didn’t understand.
