“How about Duke Ekan's search, Lady Flowerlax? Has it paid off? Did you guys find any leads?”

Emperor Aradi again asked looking at Lolita on the hologram screen. The pomegranate-eyed girl glanced at the face of Leister who was near Duke Dexter and shook her head answering a question from the emperor.

“How about the thawing of your son, Duchess Veryn?” the Emperor asked Aradi to look at the purple bead of the ruler of the Angena region.

The woman shook her head as she replied quickly, “There have been no results yet, Your Majesty. Right now my eldest son is trying to find his trail. From the last information I received there was a rotten green liquid in some places that my son had visited.”

Emperor Aradi nodded at the reply delivered by Duchess Veryn Angena. The silver eyes of the emperor stared at the faces of the meeting participants including Veister, the Holy Witch who had reappeared after disappearing without a trace all those years before.

The Emperor's silver bead turned to glance at Laveron who was only silent beside Duke Dexter and Leister Flowerlax. Veister looked back at the back-coughing Head of Witch Aksario and let out a hint of black blood from the corner of his lips.

Is that black blood? Inner Veister stared at the dissatisfied expression of the Witch Head Aksario.

“Today's meeting just got here. As much as possible we should prevent the loss of people and tighten our security. The expedition group I ordered you to remain in Rizery territory. The other regions would get help from the imperial knights periodically. Keep reporting the developments and things that happen in your region periodically to the empire. That's it.”

Emperor Aradi nodded and immediately cut off their long-distance communication link followed by other regional representatives. The hologram-connected Lolita Flowerlax looked at Leister and asked the young man to take care of himself and not to worry about their territory and himself.

Leister nodded and was quite confident in Lolita's safety because there was Grein guarding her. Duke Dexter Rizery and Diano Rizery glanced at Veister who was sitting back on the chair in the meeting room.

A sense of awkwardness filled their souls when they found out that the guard of the world was again present and now in front of their eyes. The young man with two-colored eyes suddenly felt a pain in his head attracting the entire eye's attention as his ringing voice filled with silence.

Leister and Laveron immediately drew closer towards Veister who was bowing his head on the table. The two young men helped bring the holy witch to her room when the young man was unable to use his powers to move.

Duke Dexter and Diano immediately returned to their respective rooms to do their jobs. Windy, a white butterfly that had been near Laveron now perched on Veister's head and fused

with the young man's white hair.

A month has passed. However, there was no news of the disappearance of Ivew, the youngest son of Duchess Angena, and also Duke Ekan. The current empire also began to be hit by anxiety because not only did the nobles disappear, but now the common people also disappeared without a trace, too, even the witches who were tasked with guarding the territory of some of them also disappeared.

The region that lost the most people was the territory of the Duchess of Angena and the region that lost the least people was the territory of Duke Rozitto.

Laveron and the others had already conducted a search to all regions except the Stone City region and also the southern area of the Duke Rozitto region, while the area of Abob City search was carried out by Ramound Angena with the knights of the Angena family.

Veister occasionally meets with the Witch-Head of Aksario at the imperial palace with the Emperor to find clues to the disappearance of people in terms of magic as well as prove his curiosity about the strange behavior of the witch-head who always does not it's where Veister wants to see him.

Veister's two-colored bead frowned as he looked at the Mage Head who was back coughed and occasionally grinned strangely displaying a different expression from next to his face, as if there were two souls trying to control the expression of his body.

The Witch's head was only much silent when it got a question from Veister. The young man with two-colored eyes was about to release his anger if not to feel the strange energy that the Witch Head Aksario emitted.

“You are fine, Head Witch Aksario?” veister asked the Emperor Aradi to slightly keep his distance from the Chief Witch who nodded in disarray.

“Sa-me .. just exhausted,” revealed Witch Head Aksario wiped the sweat that was flowing from her forehead.

Emperor Aradi covered his nose as he felt a foul smell emanating from the Witch Head. Veister immediately used his protective shield to protect himself and the emperor. The head of the Witch Aksario who was in front of him started to smile slanted as one of his eyes glowed with a bright purple color, while his other eyes remained black.

“Ugh ... Whatisthis? What happened?!”

The Witch Chief Aksario exclaimed in panic as she felt her body being torn apart as if something was trying to break out dasri within her body. Emperor Aradi stared at the scene in front of him with bulging eyes, while Veister clucked in annoyance and gave rise to Windy around him.

“Tu-lord please ... sa-I feel controlled! Ugh!”

The agonizing cry of the Witch-Head Aksario attracted the attention of the people who were around the meeting room in the Palace. The few imperial knights standing guard at the door immediately opened the door to ensure the safety of the emperor.

Their beads of eyes widened as they gazed towards the Chief Witch Aksario who was emitting a purple light from her body and the white robe she used started to turn black.

“Sial! Since the beginning we've been with traitors!” as Emperor Aradi stared at the grinning Chief Witch Aksario in front of them.

“You control it huh, Black Witch? Is he one of your pieces?”

Veister stared towards the Imperial Magician Head who had turned into a lump of irregular balls. There is no more human form of the Witch Head Aksario. Large eyes were present at both corners of the monster clumps in front of them with wide grinning mouths displaying sharp teeth.

The imperial knights who were behind the emperor and Veister covered their noses while feeling the stench of the monsters in front of them. Veister expanded the range of his shield to protect the imperial knights behind him.

“Yes, he is the dumbest pawn I have learned,” replied from the monster figure in front of them in a different voice from the Witch Head Aksario.

“Ant dumbest?” ask Emperor Aradi slowly.

“Hihi .. what are you going to do, Holy Witch? If you do not move fast you will lose a lot of lo...”

Veister clenched his hand as his two-colored eye bead met the eye gaze of the monster figure before him.

“That monster form is not perfect, is it?”

Veister suddenly grinned and began to cast a series of spells to purify the monster figure in front of him along with Windy who formed a whirlwind around the body of the blob-shaped monster.

“Ho .. do you want to get this person's body back? Hihi ... try!”

Veister grinned and answered quickly while reciting the purification spell, “Of course I will succeed. The Holy Witch never loses!”

Veister's two hands began to glow white mixed with light brown as the final spell came out of his mouth.

“Get rid of all impurities that block the path of chastity. Throw away from the face of the universe! Alote Umarasi!”
