Becoming a Witch in Another World
Chapter 75: The White Mask
When I saw Sirius standing with Eren in the middle of the village, around him the villagers were swarming as well.
"Mr Aksa, thank you for listening to our request," a middle-aged man who looked like a village chief said so to which I answered with a light word.
"It's nothing."
Today I seem to have received a lot of thanks.
After hearing the explanation of my village chief, together with Sirius, Jun and Hilda left the village towards a lake that became the only source of water in this village.
According to the head of the village since the appearance of Hydra in the lake now the water has been poisoned by him so that the residents can not use the water, it has an impact on all aspects including the waters for their gardens.
And during that time they only use the water obtained from holding rainwater for daily needs. Over time their supplies have reached their limit.
"Hydra's in a place like this, isn't it a little weird?" ask Jun.
"Indeed, I think there's something that lures him here usually the top-ranked animals will be in the demon lord's territory or the dragon's destruction" Hilda added.
Although both of them lived in the forest they were quite knowledgeable.
"What's Aksa?"
"No, you know a lot."
"We have the ability to connect our senses to animals like birds, with this we can know things are happening in this world" Hilda explained, followed by Jun.
"There is a proverb that seeing for yourself is better than just hearing rumors from others.
Maybe it's a proverb from the elf village.
Soon the lake we were headed to was clearly visible, the lake was wide but the color had turned black and some animal carcasses were very much around.
Hilda put her hands together and prayed.
"Please protect us Goddess Nermala."
On the other side Jun and I were immediately on standby, as Jun threw a rock into the middle of the lake I began to strengthen my wrist to grip Sirius in the shape of his sword.
Hydra's entire body surfaced until all nine of its heads spewed out poison simultaneously, just as the poison hit both of our bodies a bubble-shaped magic protected us.
"This?"
"The magic of Hilda is the blessing of the Goddess.My sister's ability is equivalent to that of a high-ranking Arc Priest."
"So stop embarrassing me."
"Sorry, sorry... So what now?"
I swung the sword in the air for the sake of raising a black blade capable of cutting off one head, of course the severed neck grew back into a new head.
Hydra is also often called a thousand-headed creature, so it is necessary to cut off its head that much in order to win from it.
I again swung the next few blades until Hydra started targeting me as the main target.
He moved around following me and I kept provoking his anger.
"When there's a slit cut off his body, his head can grow but his body can't."
"I understand."
I started running to the other side to outwit the Hydra, in addition to protective magic, Hilda also cast strengthening magic for me.
Sirius said to me.
"Master, did you deliberately involve the two of them fighting, even if it's a hundred Hydra I can slash them with a single slash"
"As I said before I don't want to be the center of attention, after all, fighting together is not fun, but if the situation is bad I'll need your help."
"I understand master."
I turned around while holding the sword with both hands back, I thrust my sword into the same blade.
Unexpectedly Hydra could also shoot fireballs other than the poison she had, I slashed the ball while the nine heads started to target me.
It didn't take long until I managed to slash the nine heads in unison, the same time Jun had appeared on top of Hydra, the two swords in his hands began to enlarge to form a sword of light.
Coinciding as he touched the ground the Hydra's body split into two pieces.
"Is sister okay?" ask Hilda to come closer.
"I'm fine."
"Master."
I calmly repelled a knife that slid towards me, from the spot where the knife was thrown a man wearing a white mask appeared with a coat fluttering in the wind.
"You can beat my pet, that's amazing."
"Your animals are very weak" I said.
"Let's just think of it that way" he said as we stared at each other.
