Ch. 99 Vanessa Enoteca

( Yuto Pov )

Yami:" Gulp, gulp. Ahh. "

* Bam *

Yami slammed the beer can on the table after finishing it.

" So you want to take a look in whichever forest?"

Yami:" Yeah, I heard someone say they saw a woman trapped there."

Scathach:" Qhat is the witches' forest?"

Yami:" Just a bunch of women that hate men. So get ready for battle when we enter."

" Eh, sure, why not, I've been getting bored of bandits."

Scathach nodded.

Yami:" Well, let's go."

" Wait, right now? Aren't we supposed to take make some plans or...."

Yami:" Listen, kid, you won't go far by just making plans, so you got to surpass your limits."

Scathach:" That would've been motivational if you didn't gamble your close again."

Yami was holding his cigarette as he once again lost his clothes and sword.

Yami:" Right, first plan, get my clothes back."

" You said there weren't going to be any place...."

Yamk:" Shut. It."

" You gotta surpass your limits right here and now, Yami. So we're going to ha..."

Yami grabbed my head as he was letting out his mana.

Yami:" I can't surpass my limits without my clothes, so we're getting them."

Focusing my mana on my arms, I easily made Yami let go of my head.

" Sigh, alright, let's go get them back. Come on, Scathach."

Scathach:" Sigh, please don't tell me we're going to buy out the casino again."

" You know me so well, I'll be exactly doing that."

Yami:" Oi, stop being so lovely. "

The naked man spoke as Scathach and I were talking.

* An hour later. *

" So this is the witch's forest, huh?"

Yami:" Yup."

And just after saying that, Yami cloaked himself in reinforcement magic and took off into the forest.

" And there he goes."

Scathach:" I'm starting to get annoyed."

" Yeah. Come on, let's go."

Scathach:" Mh." She nodded

With mana control and body control, I was able to easily replicate reinforcement magic, and Scathach did as well with her experience in magic and chakra.

Rushing towards the witches' forest, we passed the barrier.

And we immediately caught the attention of the witches.

" That large tree in the middle must be the witch queen's residence. Yamk is probably heading there. "

Scathach:" It's pretty obvious.."

" Try not to kill them. They probably have curses that curse us upon their death."

After saying that, I took out the three section staff.

Scathach:" Couldn't you use a staff?"

" What? This one is a lot cooler."

Scathach:" Sigh, never mind. "

She took out her spear and hit a witch on her head with the buut of the spear.

I swung the end of the staff, which wrapped around a witch's head and hit her with the end of the stick.

A few more minutes later, I felt the mana increase.

" Must be witch queen. Let's go."

" Word Magic: Fall."

The witches that heard my words fell as their magic stopped supporting them on their brooms.

Scathach and I rushed to the top of the trees and rushed to the huge tree in the middle.

* Slash *

Yami slashed multiple blood strings that surrounded him as he cloaked his sword with his magic.

" Word magic: slow."

The witch queen's movements slowed. And Yami used this chance to blow her away.

And just as Yami blew her away. An immense mana surrounded the area.

I replied with my mana, It was easily able to push back the mana. Thanks to Sayuri for boosting my mana.

Witch Queen:" An anomaly? I can't see your future. Anything imperfect should be destroyed."

" Great, you're one of those people."

Scathach:" I think I've dealt with people like this before."

Yami:" I agree."

Witch Queen:" Even if you both look perfect, anyone that isn't in my fortune-telling magic is imperfect."

" Did she just tell us her ability?"

Scathach:" A dumb move."

Yamk:" At least we got something."

" Eh, I guess you're right." I moved to dodge a blood spear that went towards my head.

Scathach and Yami also dodged or sliced the attack.

putting away my three-section staff, I brought out Goliath.

Yami:" Oi, can you even lift that?" He spoke as he pointed at me.

" Ah, I can't." I paused as I realized it.

Forgetting that I lost my stats, I switched it with a white fang.

Slicing a blood string, I used the eyes of fate. But I was blinded by the sheer number of strings that surrounded the place.

' Someone with a high value of fate or maybe could control fate.' Deactivating the eyes, I attacked head-on.

' Breath of Massacre: Seventh form: Massacre.'

In graceful footwork, I cut sliced my way through the blood magic and came close to the Witch Queen.

' Breath of Massacre: Fifth form: Lull.'

Aiming toward her neck, I tried to cut off her head in one strike but couldn't as I found myself thrown through a wall.

Scathach:" Yuto!!"

Yami:" Calm down, that kid is strong, hopefully."

Just as Scathach tried to go toward me, she was stopped by blood magic. And she had no choice but to let her anger out on her.

I found myself in a dark room with a cage in the middle.

" Ugh, that hurt like hell," I said as I got up.

Getting up, I was about to join back into the fight but noticed someone in a cage.

" Hello?"

???:" Uh, h..hi?"

' I see this is where the large amount of gate string was. it's coming from her.'

" Hey, do you want to get out of this cage?"

* Clink *

I knocked on the cage as I faced her.

???:" I'm sorry, it's my fate to stay in this cage."

" Fate, huh? That again. Why don't you change it then?"

???: What?"

" Change your fate! Just for a moment, ignore it and try to change it." I spoke with a smile.

???:" Change it? but it's my gate to stay here."

" Like I said, ignore fate."

I activated the [ Eyes of Fate ] and cut the strings that were all over the place.

???:" What are you doing?"

" Come." I stretched a hand towards her as the room fell apart and finally the cage.

" Just once defy it, take action to decide your fate. Not anyone else. See the world as it truly is. Freedom is always worth fighting for."

She grabbed my hand as u pulled her close, and we fell off with the broken room as it fell from the tree.

With the wind blowing, we both looked at each other, and I laughed, feeling the wind caress my back, and she laughed with me.

" Hahahahahaha!!!"

???:" Hahaha hahaha."

Using Aroemancy to Safety Land, I helped her escape the witches' forest.

* A few minutes later. *

Yami:" You got a lot of nerve to leave me behind."

Scathach: Ahem."

Yami:" And Shorty here as well."

I saw a tick mark on Scathach.

" Well, we did manage to save her."

Yami:" That isn't enough, kid."

" Sigh, how about beer on me."

Yami:" Eh sure whatever."

He spoke calmly like he didn't just try to threaten me.

Scathach just walked up next to me and just smiled.

I knew I was in trouble.

" Ahem, this is Vanessa, and Vanessa, this is Yami and Scathach."

Yami:" Yo!"

Scathach:" Hello."

Vanessa:" Umm, what should I do now?"

" That's up to you, remember? "

Vanessa:" Can I travel with you?"

" Of course!"

Yami:" She's your problem, brat, not mine."

" Eh, whatever." I shrugged.

Yami:" Well, let's head to the capital, I've gotten a letter from the wizard king."

" Wizard king?"

Yami:" King of wizards. Let's go."

" Oi, I want to hear more about this wizard king. Hey, don't ignore me!"

Yami:" Shut it, brat."

Scathach and Vanessa looked at each other before following us.
