A Journey Of A Delusional Witch
Chapter 23: What a Geezer

If you were to imagine about Boss' room, you would definitely imagine a vast place like an arena and many healing items scattered everywhere.

Yup, that's not happening here.

First, there was no way that anyone would be idiots enough to give healing items for free to their opponents.

Then, rather than the arena, this place looked more like a dance hall belonging to the nobles.

All the furniture and ornaments are decorated with gold and jewels. The floor is lined by a red rug decorated by charming gold embroidery.

There are two stairs leading to the second floor. There was an old man with pale skin like a corpse and a thick beard. He was wearing a black robe decorated by a golden-coloured ornament was standing haughtily while looking down at me.

Even from here I could feel an uncomfortable aura emanating from his entire body.

"Heh, just Forest Dwellers apparently. Be happy, cheap girl! You are now dealing with the great Magician! Dominic Von Dolly!"

Yup, he's the Boss.

Given that he could speak and stand in this luxurious room, I guess he was the last Boss.

Hm... Just in case I think I will use [Appraisal]... Yup, failed!

It means he's much stronger than me. There was no doubt he was the ruler of this Dungeon.

Good thing, this way I can conquer this Dungeon.

"Come down and be my slave, that's the only way you can... (Light Lance) ..you!"

I knew it wouldn't be that easy. The unpleasant aura he had neutralized my magic.

"Basic doesn't know at profit! You threw one away... (Dual-Casting) (Flame Javelin) ..again!"

Tch, still under arrest.

"Can you shut up!? You guys, don't give me mercy, Attack!!!"

""Ready!""

I'm the type of person who doesn't listen to Boss's words before a fight. Their dialogue is always the same and the SKIP button looks very tempting.

My servants immediately ran towards the stairs to get to the second floor.

Seeing this, the Boss... Dominic's? Saying something more before finally bringing up a black staff that resembled the claws of a dragon grasping a crystal ball that emitted a blackish glow. Classically.

(Summon : Puppet Army!)

At his command, a magic circle appeared in the air and from it came out tens to hundreds of mannequins fully armed like royal warriors.

So that's it, he's the Boss type who relies on his croco-crocoes and gives orders from a safe place.

Normally you have to get rid of the small prey first before handling the big fish. But I have another way.

"You guys, finish those lowly puppets! Show me who is superior among you!"

""Ready!""

All right, one problem is resolved, it's time to deal with the main problem.

"Basic stupid! The little girls are impossible... (Heat Wave) ..You are still...!!!"

"Be quiet, I'm not interested in anything you're going to say"

I used (Aero Control) and focused it on both my legs. When I thought that was enough, I jumped with all my might while releasing the (Aero Control) I had gathered.

As a result, I slid straight towards Dominic who was on the second floor.

Seeing my actions, he immediately protected himself by using the mannequins around him as a protective wall.

Obviously I can't stop. If it continues I will definitely hit directly towards those mannequins.

Immediately I used (Wooden Armament) and created a shield.

Cracks!

It hurts!!! But I still survived!

There are still a lot of mannequins that separate me from Dominic. Since they're just going to interfere, I have to get rid of them.

(Dual-Casting) (Fire Burst)

The mannequins that were in front of me were blown away and burned after being hit by my attack. Thanks to that created a path between me and Dominic.

(Darkness Bullet)

Yup, there's no way he'll just shut up (Light Shield)!

A loud sound rang out as the darkness bullets Dominic fired hit my light shield.

Just one strike was enough to create a huge crack in my shield. If I get one more attack then my shield will definitely break.

Well, anyway I have no intention of continuing to hide behind him.

I covered my whole body with (Aero Control) to make my movements faster.

I deftly moved right beside Dominic who was about to hide behind his mannequin again.

(Dual-Casting) (Fire Pillar)

I created two pillars of fire to narrow Dominic's movements and finish off the mannequins around him.

Dominic is about to cast a magic spell. Fortunately I was faster.

(Light Cutter)

A blade of light shot out from the magic circle that was at the end of my staff. Once again, his aura neutralized my attack.

But at least my attack managed to derail his tidying.

By gathering most of my Mana into this one magic, I unleashed (Light Lance) that was much brighter and faster than the previous one.

"Hehe... Your magic means nothing in front of me. Surrender!"

Tch, it still didn't work.

I think it is now safe to say that his aura is capable of neutralizing any magic or at least magic that is much weaker than him.

I don't like this.

I kept running around and around sneaking between his mannequins. All of a sudden my [Intuition] screamed loudly.

I spontaneously jumped far back.

Right after I moved away, ropes made of darkness appeared from below where I was originally located and wriggled looking like I was looking for something.

Heh, he thinks how many times have I used (Darkness Restraint)? I may be exposed to magic that I use myself.

"Stop running you little girl!"

"Sorry, today I feel like exercising a little bit"

Don't forget I fired (Flame Bullet) while talking. Of course it's useless.

If magic is useless, then the other option is physical attack.

While avoiding the (Darkness Bullet) Dominic was firing at, I concentrated and used [Psychokinesis] to move the various weapons scattered on the floor.

Although I said various kinds, right now I am only able to move three objects at once. That's not too heavy either.

Just like when I fought (Goblin Lord) I used (Wind Current) to speed up the rate of the weapons I fired.

Three iron swords shot out at high speed towards Dominic. Seeing this, he disappeared into his own shadow.

Tch, (Shadow Switch) well, then... (Light Control)!

A bright light shone on everything on the second floor. Dominic, who is hiding in the shadows, is forced to come out of hiding.

He appeared right near the stairs. I think he intends to run to the first floor of the place where his mannequins gather.

Seeing this, I again attacked him using a combo of [Psychokinesis] and (Wind Current).

The surrounding mannequins were trying to protect their master. Thanks to their efforts, the mannequins managed to hold back the two swords I fired.

But one sword hit its target.

"Ghhaaah!"

An iron sword was embedded right in his chest. The shock pushed him backwards and fell towards the first floor.

Exactly as I thought, his aura was only capable of neutralizing magic attacks.

Following that, I immediately jumped down while using (Aero Control) to resist my falling rate.

Still in the air, I shot three swords back at him. This time my three swords successfully hit a helpless target.

Dominic who was hit by a crushing attack fell hard on the floor. Thanks to that, the Staff he always held became detached and was thrown away... Oho!

"Zweites! Take that staff away from here!"

After landing safely, I gave the order to Zweite which he directly carried out.

Zweite took the Staff lying not far from him and immediately ran away.

"You... Fucking girl!!!"

A resurgent Dominic tries to chase after Zweite to take his Staff back. Of course I won't let it.

(Dual-Casting) (Fire Burst)

Although it won't hurt him, but my attack managed to hold him back.

Again, I shot a sword at him.

"Based on you fucking girl!!!"

With so many guns strewn across the floor, I had plenty of ammunition to fire.

While I was shooting at Dominic, I looked around.

Most of the mannequins have been handled by my servants. There are only a few mannequins left.

Besides, how much longer do I have to shoot this guy? If this continues then he will look like a hedgehog.

"Tyre, Vier! Help me finish this guy off. Let Percy handle the dolls!"

"Ready!" "Good!"

(Taunt)!

With his skill, Percy draws the attention of all the remaining mannequins. With his new Equipment, I'm sure he can handle them easily.

While the twins immediately ran towards Dominic and attacked him mercilessly.

(Slice) (Rapid Strike)

In this way Dominic is now attacked from three directions. If this continues then it is only a matter of time before him... Yup, round two!

"I won't forgive! You won't I'm sorry!"

The unpleasant aura emanating from his body became increasingly powerful and exploded which blew away the twins who were nearby.

(Light Shield)

Although I was quite far away from him, I was still pushed back by his aura.

Then... Finally stopped.

The first thing I noticed was the mannequins who stopped working and fell on the floor.

Then Dominic shows up with his new look... Or don't.

Other than his increasingly clear aura blazing all over his body, there were no other changes.

With a furious expression, he brought up the 5 balls of darkness that surrounded him. Then the world went dark... (Darkness Night) yeah.

Fortunately I was still able to see using [Night Vision] so there was no problem... Heh? I don't know why my head feels funny...

Mental attack!

The pair of light spears that I shot out hit Dominic hard!

I see, so that aura has two functions. The defense and... What is the effect of the second function? Reinforcement?

"Based on the fucking girl! I'll kill you!"

Hundreds of dark spears emerged from the floor and tried to stab me fiercely.

Yup, the second function is reinforcement.

(Cocoon Hydro)

Luckily I was on time and managed to take cover... It hurts!

Either I'm a little late or my defense is weak. In total there were 6 pieces of dark spears that managed to penetrate my defense and hit me.

I was hit in the lower right leg, left thigh, left arm, and the rest scratched the sides of my chest and abdomen. Even so this is not how much.

The twins are much worse.

They were hit by a crushing attack and ended up being skewers.

Looking at my wounded self, Dominic did not miss this opportunity at all.

He fired (Shadow Burst) right at me. Fortunately I still had time to hold him back by using (Light Shield).

However, his attack easily destroyed the light shield I created. Plus the effect of the explosion that successfully passed (Hydro Cocoon) is still active that makes me crash backwards and almost hit the wall.

"Wahahaha... Feel it, you little girl!"

I must admit, this is very painful. Even (Light Heal) is still not enough to heal the wounds I suffered.

While Dominic is still immersed in his fun, an arrow glides beautifully and lands right on his neck.

This must be Zweite!

Without wasting any time I instantly became offensive!

(Dual-Casting) (Light Cutter)

Dominic tried to resist my attack by using both his hands to protect his head.

As a result, he became a muffler!

"Based on the fucking girl! Who are you really?!!"

Hm... Should I follow the game? Well there's no harm.

Dominic introduced himself by using his full name, right? And that sounds like a noble name. Should I do the same?

Yup, let's do that!

"Heh, you just asked! Remember the name of the girl who will send you to hell! I am the Witch of the Ibis Forest, Lavender La Ciel!"

In a speechless manner like the great Witch I trained so often, I introduced myself for the first time.

Hearing this, Dominic became speechless, before finally...

"Ciel... You said you were a Ciel!"

Has that name been used?

"Basic damned girl! It turns out that all this time you were the grandson of****dirty it...!!!"

Whoa...!!! Whose grandmother did you say ******?!

Oh shit, (Fire Pillar)

Before Dominic does anything weird. The pillar of fire burned his body. I felt like he was shouting something but I was too busy to care.

(Light Shoot) (Dual-Casting) (Light Lance) (Light Cutter)

"Ghhaaaaa.... Filiaaaa...!!!"

I don't know who it is, but he ended up turning into ashes with nothing left.

And most importantly!

[Space Magic]

A skill that allows its user to use space-related magic.

Requirements get : Have [Light Magic] and [Black Magic] with maximum level.

The conditions are different again!

Ah already...

The magic I got was (Space Control) and (Space Bullet)

Forget the second one, (Space Control) makes me able to control the space around me. Although the level was still weak, but this should have been enough to divert the attacks aimed at me.

Huh... If I had gotten all these skills from the start, my fight with Dominic would have been a lot easier. Given Dominic who was clearly an Undead must have been weak against fire and light.

I can also use (Space Control) to fend off his attacks.

Even so, it really hurts. Even (Light Heal) just makes me a little light.

By being forced to drink to speed up my recovery and to recharge my current Mana was less than 40% left%.

Alright, after Dominic was defeated, the room came back bright, now I can clearly see the chaos that is all around me.

The entire floor was filled with mannequins strewn everywhere. Among them were twins who tried to get up with great difficulty.

Their bodies are filled with holes. Fortunately they were Golems so their wounds were not

it was bleeding and it did not threaten their lives... Oho!

It seems that Vier was hit right on the chest and the (Magic Core) pinned on his chest was crushed.

"Vier, how's your condition?"

"Mah-master... Just chill... Core servant... Still safe..."

Good then.

Even so, I still have to fix it.

(Soil Controls)... Already, now pin it back (Magic Core) on his chest... It's finished!

Fortunately Trita does not solve (Magic Core) it so fix it much easier than his sister.

When I finished repairing the twins, Percy and Zweite came before me intact without any injuries.

In Zweite's hands there was also a black Staff shaped like a dragon claw that was grasping a crystal ball.

Ah, there's still this thing.

\ ★★★★★

«Darkness Enchant : EX Large» «Cursed Holder : Darkness»

A cursed Staff taken from the corpse of a Sacred Beast that upholds justice and equality.

Strengthen all magic with the element of darkness significantly and make its user invincible in the darkness.

Terms of use: Possess [Darkness Magic].

Side effect: As it brings the fury of a tragically killed Sacred Beast, anyone using this Staff will be cursed to lose all of its magic except magic with the element of darkness.

No use!!!

How could I possibly want to sacrifice all the magic that I have earned so hard just for this!

"Keep this thing well! When we get home, seal this thing in the basement"

"Ready!"

All right, my servants have gathered.

Even though the master of this Dungeon has been defeated, there is still one more thing I have to do.

"Master, where's your hat?"

Cap... Uh!

"Quick search now!"

"Ready!"

Oh my goodness, when is the fall? Next time I have to figure out a way to keep my hat from falling off again.

"Master, this"

Oh finally. Now, what did I want to say just now...?

Right, that is looking .

Heh, even though I said look for. But I already know where that thing is.

I could feel something calling me. The direction is from the second floor. After passing through the area where I originally fought against Dominic, there was a double door that was gilded.

Once opened, there is a room that looks like a living room... Not important.

On the side of the room was another door. After passing through it you will arrive at a long hallway filled with luxurious furniture and expensive artworks... Pass it!

Along the hallway were many doors lined up. Through it all, I finally reached the end of the hall.

Once opened, there is a bedroom that is too luxurious. Everything is dominated by red and gold. The double bed in the middle of the room is so large that it can fit up to 10 people simultaneously and there will still be empty space.

Right next to it is a study desk.

On it was a thick book with a cover made of leather. When it opened, I found out that this book was actually a diary.

It is clear who owns this book.

I'll save it for later reading... Whahuh? Are you not curious?

Set that aside first, now is the main event.

Something that calls me is right in this room, right at the bottom of this room.

It didn't take long before I finally found the secret door hidden under the rug.

Once opened, there is a ladder to the bottom.

"Percy, you go first"

With Buckler in hand, Percy slowly descended to the bottom. Following him was me and my other servant.

In less than 5 minutes we went down the stairs until we finally reached our destination.

"Haha... Pull over!"
