Chapter 170

Translator: Yonnee

—

“…What have you done to Dietrich?”

The woman simply shrugged.

“I don’t really know. I was playing with him until yesterday, but he was so battered that it wasn’t fun anymore. So I left him there. Maybe he was torn apart by a monster and died?”

Her words sent a shockwave through everyone present.

Most of the knights gathered here were skilled and highly regarded. The temple had anticipated that facing Dietrich wouldn’t be easy, so they had sent some of their best knights to track him down.

Among the trackers were those who had spent years in the temple and knew Dietrich well, many of whom respected him deeply.

Suddenly, the woman’s clear, lilting laughter echoed throughout the area.

She couldn’t stop laughing, as if the situation was incredibly amusing. Pointing in all directions, her laughter grew louder and more mocking.

“Look at your faces!”

After being silent when she first emerged from the mansion, the sight of their shocked expressions seemed to excite her, and she began to chatter.

She recounted in chilling detail how she had toyed with the other knights, describing how they had died miserably.

As they listened to the woman’s horrific words, shining through her radiant smile, everyone present thought of a passage from scripture:

Do not trust the one who descends with heavenly beauty and wings. The one who deceives with beauty is surely a demon.

“Demon…”

Someone muttered under their breath, looking at the woman.

At that moment, a sorcerer shouted.

“I sense an aura similar to the curse from that woman! It’s the aura of a demon!”

“She’s a demon! That woman is a demon!”

“That demon killed Sir Dietrich and our comrades!”

The atmosphere among the knights quickly grew heated, and it looked like they would rush forward to attack the woman at any moment.

Then Elias raised his hand, and the commotion fell silent. All eyes turned toward him.

“Listen well! From this moment, we will capture this demon alive! You may harm her limbs, but leave her life and tongue intact! We will extract the truth from her and avenge those who have died unjustly!”

The moment Elias gave his order, the sorcerers immediately began working on the mansion’s curse, and the knights charged forward.

Dozens of men rushed toward the woman with fierce intent, but she leisurely glanced around.

“Step back.”

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew.

Just as the knights had been thrown back when the woman first appeared from the mansion, they were once again sent sprawling.

However, this time, their eyes burned with undiminished hatred and determination.

“Do not stop! Charge again!”

Cries erupted from all sides.

“Fly.”

With just a word from the woman, the knights were flung back once more, and blood poured from the mouths of the sorcerers as they attempted to maintain the spell against the mansion.

“Hahaha!”

The woman laughed.

“No one can kill me! No one!”

Despite their relentless efforts, the knights couldn’t even lay a finger on her.

Still, their determination didn’t falter. They refused to give up.

Most of those present knew Dietrich.

Though they had once stood by silently while the temple treated him like a fool, the guilt and anger from that time now turned toward the woman before them.

“Charge!”

Again and again, they fell, but the order to attack kept coming.

“Burn.”

The woman’s spell changed, and suddenly the mansion was engulfed in flames. As more knights screamed from the intense heat, the tide of the battle shifted.

“Oh dear. How pitiful!”

“……”

“Why don’t you all just die like Dietrich did!”

One of the knights, thrown to the ground, clenched the dirt so hard his knuckles turned white.

How can we…?

How can we defeat that witch, that demon…?

There seemed to be no end in sight.

Their morale was starting to wane, and the knights hesitated, their resolve to charge at the woman faltering.

Sensing the situation, even Elias found himself unable to shout for another attack. Repeating the same strategy would only lead to failure, and soon, the blame would fall on him.

‘What should I do…?’

Step.

Just then, a figure stepped out from the shadowy entrance of the mansion.

A man with striking violet eyes, once admired by all.

Everyone turned to look at him.

“You…”

The demon looked at Dietrich in surprise.

At that moment, shhk—Dietrich’s sword pierced through the woman’s heart.
