"What's the point of making it stop?" Subaru tried hard to shake off the cold voice in his head.
What's the point of stopping? Of course it has to stop! You have to find a way to stop it! You have to find a way to defeat the witch! If you can make it stop, you can find a way to defeat the witch! That's the meaning
!
"Garfiel! Can you stop it by attacking it?"
"You idiot, you are still talking nonsense! How many attacks do you think I have hit so far? So many times, you can't even hit it through the dress it is wearing! It can't hurt it in the slightest.
ah!"
"If Garfiel can't do it, then there is only..."
The initial attack should have really knocked it off guard, but it didn't hit the witch's vital parts.
Since all Garfiel's attacks are ineffective, it is very likely that Sombra's dress is immune to physical attacks. If this is the case, the only ones that are useful are magic attacks.
The first person Subaru thought of was Yuexing. Yuexing's magic should be enough to cause damage, but now he has no idea where Yuexing is and there is no way to contact him.
Then the second candidate for magic attack is————
"Let me tell you up front, it's impossible for you to find Roswaal, because the only ones still in this forest are me, you, and the legendary witch."
"Even Roswaal!? Real or fake!?"
"We have searched the old woman's house and the church, but nothing! That guy is so unreliable. The only one we can rely on now is ourselves."
Subaru's impression of Roswaal as a "strong man" was instantly shattered by Garfiel's description of the current situation.
Even Roswaal could not compete with it. The overwhelming power that could not be defeated swallowed up most of the world. Even the six witches who were labeled as serious sins in the world were killed. He was the most evil in the world.
witch
"Is there really nothing we can do against her? Do we just have to watch it go to the mansion?"
Everything is swallowed up by the shadow, everything is taken away by the shadow, everything is destroyed by the shadow
Subaru now has no choice but to despair
"--etc!"
Subaru looked at the witch who was gradually retreating, and felt an inexplicable sense of dissonance.
Is there really, really nothing that can make it stop? Is it really that there is no way to think of it?
Think hard, think hard, ponder, and move your memory! Here, there are things that can only be done here
This is the "sacred area", if that black shadow is the "jealous witch"————
"--Enchantment!"
"What?"
"It's a barrier! The jealous witch meets the conditions to be blocked by the "sacred domain" barrier! The "trial" in the cemetery has not been passed yet, and that guy is a mixed-blood, half-elf!"
"Jealous Witch" Satella is called a silver-haired half-elf
Emilia has always been rejected by the people nearby, and it is precisely because of the characteristics in the legend 400 years ago that makes Subaru even more convinced that the "Jealous Witch" will be imprisoned in this forest.
If the witch has no entity and is just an existence like a thought body, then that would be a different story————
"----Don't worry"
Subaru raised his eyebrows as he murmured confidently. Looking at Subaru's reaction, Garfiel snapped his fangs:
"That witch has a physical entity. Isn't she the current "root on the left wing of Barugele"?"
"Can this be considered the witch's weakness?"
"What else can it be regarded as? Not bad, not bad, not bad! I see hope!"
Garfiel patted Subaru's shoulder with his hand, showed a ferocious smile, and then said:
"——Let me see the hateful face under the veil, and then cut my head into pieces with a thousand knives!"
The "Jealous Witch" dragged a huge shadow and moved outside the "Sacred Area"
Subaru and the others chased the huge black shadow. Garfiel carried Subaru on his shoulders like a tree root, and walked around the tree to the front of the witch.
"I don't know how effective the barrier is, but it would be nice if it could be weakened a little bit."
As long as Garfiel's claws can reach it, even the jealous witch will have to suffer.
In fact, that was the belief held by Subaru, who was more experienced than Garfiel after turning into a beast.
After transforming into a beast, Garfiel's claws have huge destructive power. The most important thing now is to create an opportunity for Garfiel to directly attack the witch.
"Garfiel, that guy will definitely be attracted to me, so..."
"If you want me to use you as bait, be careful I bite off one of your fingers!" Faced with Garfiel's non-negotiable attitude, Subaru flinched for a moment and retorted angrily:
"I'm not joking! If you use me as bait, the success rate will be much higher. You understand this, right!?"
"Hey! If you continue to be so ignorant, I'm going to throw you away, kid!"
"——You should know! There is a smell in my body that can attract it."
Furious, Subaru decided to touch the aura wrapped around him.
Garfiel probably wouldn't say anything more if he thought about this, but——
"Old woman! And Ram! And other friends, they were all swallowed up by the black shadow before my eyes!"
"——!"
"Now even you are going to be used as bait, how can I endure such an insult! I will never, never use you as bait, "My Parala Gurala's claw marks will never disappear"! I
I must carve my claw marks into the witch’s heart!!”
The blood-red eyes revealed Garfiel's passion, and Garfiel firmly rejected Subaru's proposal.
——Garfiel’s anger comes from his stubbornness, and it’s also a worthless stubbornness.
Subaru heard it himself, and heard one of his selves in his head saying in a cold voice that Garfiel's stubbornness was worthless.
But the other self in his head couldn't laugh at Garfiel's stubbornness.
Unlike Subaru who walked out of the cemetery later, Garfiel saw with his own eyes that Ram, Ryuz, and those close to him were swallowed up by the black shadow.
Even if his most important people disappeared in front of him one by one, Garfiel did not abandon his conscience, nor did he say that he would sacrifice Subaru to avenge his most important people.
If it was Garfiel's reason and belief that prompted him to do this then... why did he...
"Why do you have to give everyone...?"
Why were the brave villagers and everyone who was protecting Subaru killed so cruelly?
Garfiel should also know the pain of being taken away and the pain of losing an important relative.
"arrive!"
Before Subaru could get an answer, the two of them had already arrived at their destination.
The narrow space in the dense forest has become the battlefield. A few gaps are exposed above the head surrounded by the forest. Only the waning moon and stars in the sky can see the resurrection drama of the "Jealous Witch"
You can feel the barrier opening up behind you, as well as the aura of a shadow squirming in front of you. All you have to do is wait for the witch to strike from the front and strike head-on - but there is a problem.
"Garfiel, you will also be trapped by the barrier. What are you going to do?"
Hybrids born with demihumans cannot escape from the barrier of the forest. In this regard, Garfiel is the same as the witch. If the witch becomes weaker, he will also become weaker. In this way, there will be no
significance
Faced with such worries, Garfiel seemed to have taken something out of his belt, and it was——
"...Pyroxene? Yours?"
"There is no need to explain to you. Shut up and watch carefully. I will let you know that your bait strategy and your worries are useless. The witch will be put to sleep in no time."
"--who?!"
Hearing the sound of slight footsteps in the grass, Subaru turned around suddenly. He was not a witch. Both the direction and the sense of oppression were very different from the witch. However, even so, he could not be careless.
"……ha?"
But the moment Subaru saw that, all he could express was shock.
"——"
Pushing aside the dense bushes, a young girl appeared in front of them
Subaru had seen this girl before. She had light red hair and was only wearing a simple dress. Her ears were longer than the average person. Subaru was already very familiar with this feature.
Because that is the representative of the "Sacred Realm", Ryuz himself who should have been swallowed up by the black shadow.
