The Return of the Mad Witch
Water Source

The three knights noticed the movements of Valencia who were about to put a rusty sword at them. Instantly the three let go of the ruckus that mocked Valencia, but the girl did not heed their taunts. Instead Valencia felt both happy and relieved when they mocked him so that he had an increasingly strong reason to finish off their lives.

“Holy duty of a knight? It is not important because all we need is money, with money we can live well.”

“Then what the fuck are you holding? Are you seriously using that rusty sword against us? Don't joke, Miss, this isn't a comedy stage.”

Laughter slanted out of Valencia's lips, he increasingly pointed the rusty sword towards the three of them. Valencia signaled to those around him to retreat further so that he could freely attack the three knights. It is annoying to hear them mocking him, but for Valencia the end of their lives is stepping slowly ambush themselves each.

“This rusty sword can break your sword, if you do not believe why not try it? Try to attack me now, I want to see how good the swordplay that you will give me,” Valencia said challenging them.

For a moment their expressions turned serious, indirectly Valencia actually underestimated them. Now they are also lured by the words of Valencia that make them upset.

“Don't be arrogant first you! A rusty sword is still a rusty sword!” One of them drew a sword from the sheath and charged towards Valencia.

In one sword flick, Valencia broke the knight's sword without having to touch it first. Surprisingly, they did not expect that the rusted sword could be stronger than their glistening sword.

“What's that sword? No way! It must be because my sword cracked and broke easily.”

The knight just now still did not accept the reality, he tried to find the fault of Valencia. No matter how he looked at it, whoever witnessed it, they would definitely not believe what happened just now.

“Weak basis! You still don't want to admit my greatness. Well, then, what about this? I'm sure you'll instantly be silent when you see it.”

Valencia leapt high into the sky past the knight, then just before the knight turned his back, the tip of the sword of Valencia had already slashed his neck until the knight's head fell rolling on the ground.

The atmosphere was suddenly boisterous, the residents of Sanori Village were not used to witnessing the sadistic murders in front of their eyes. The two knights who saw their comrades die on the spot momentarily felt a terrifying tremor from Valencia. They both chose to withdraw, but unfortunately Valencia did not let them go.

“Where are you going? You guys can still laugh at me then what now? Is your soul shaken to see your friend die so easily just using this rusty sword?”

“No, I was wrong, I have done wrong, please do not go here.” They ran away, but strangely suddenly their feet were attached to the ground so they could no longer run any further.

Mercilessly, Valencia instantly floated his sword and slashed their bodies into pieces. All the villagers were shocked to watch Valencia's tragic murder. Then Valencia used his magic and put them all to sleep. Valencia erased the memory of those who saw the murder committed by Valencia just now.

“It would be better if they don't remember the murder I committed,” murmured Valencia.

After that, Valencia brought the three bodies of the knight to the forest in the west of the village. Valencia put the bodies of the knights in the middle of the forest to serve as crow food.

By the time Valencia returned to the village, the entire village was awakened in a daze. They thought of the reason why they were able to fall asleep outside, they did not even have any memory of Valencia's murder.

“Who among you is the leader of this village?” ask Valencia.

“What's your name?”

“I'm Yugo, Miss,” she replied.

“Okay, now can you take me to the river dam created by Count Tero? There's something I want to do.”

“….”

Yugo seems hesitant to agree to Valencia's request, the girl understands why Yugo hesitates to fulfill Valencia's request.

“Looks like you can't, how about taking me to the river instead? After that you can leave me there alone. I also want to find a source of clean water for you,” said Valencia.

Hearing that Valencia was trying to find a source of clean water, Yugo finally moved to bring Valencia to the north of the village where the location of the river is commonly used by villagers as a daily water source. His condition is apprehensive, indeed,

“I can only take you here because I'm afraid Count Tero's subordinates are moving to finish me off if they see me by the river. Please don't let you get caught by them, Miss,” said Yugo.

“Alright, you can come back now.”

Valencia stayed by the river and Valencia touched the ground and felt a huge amount of water in the direction of the river flow. Now Valencia knows where the existence of a large dam caused the drying up of river water.

“What a long time ago that old man.” Valencia is back. “Don't blame me if you lose all the water in that dam. Let's just say it's a warning from me to you that makes others suffer.”

Valencia stomped his feet twice, suddenly the surface of the ground shook violently. From the top, a very large water flowed back into the river. Valencia managed to take the water that was in the dam without damaging the dam. No one will realize that there is actually magic enveloping the dam until the water comes out through an invisible gap.

“Feel it! You will not be able to clog the water of this river again.”

Valencia went back to the village, welcoming the return of Valencia with hopeful gazes. How unable they were to endure thirst and hunger simultaneously for these few days. Now Valencia brings happy news for them, there is nothing more they need to worry about.

“Nona, how? Did you find a source of clean water?” ask Yugo.

“Yes, I found something amazing, the river water back flowing profusely.”

Their eyes were all perfectly rounded, they still did not understand what Valencia meant exactly.

“What do you mean, Miss? Where maybe the river can drain the water if the water is blocked by Count Terano.”

Valencia's expression changed. “I don't know why either, but when I prayed to the god of peace in earnest, the water suddenly appeared with a big wave from above. It is possible that this is the form of your prayer answer all along, the god of peace helped to restore your main water source back.”
