The Slayers
Chapter 117 (Season 3)

The witch who sits on the supreme throne of the giants of the trance, the mother of all Colossus, the legendary wizard who posed a threat to the world, the source of decay and cannibalism, and many more titles bestowed upon her.

Arnima, a witch who created a giant disgusting from bones, rotten skin, evil eyes, sharp teeth and a very sharp pliable tongue.

Because of this, she was considered a witch who would endanger the world because of her creation. That is why he was hunted by men.

However, Arnima is too powerful, with her Colossus army, and her magic already at the top makes her almost unrivaled. But one day, the chosen hero manages to defeat the witch.

The people rejoice, celebrating the great feast, for the enemy of the world has been exterminated. But there is something they do not know, a big secret that can make the world tremble.

The magician is not dead yet, indeed his body has been scorched by the Hero, but his soul is still there.

His soul was only a small fragment left and was still wandering in his world. But, one day, accidentally, Arnima who is traveling without a mortal body activates a magic circle that takes her to a world that can be called earth.

"Wait, where are you from?"

All the stories that Alan heard were still being processed in his head, it felt strange and somewhat unreasonable to him.

"I come from a world called Colomia."

"And you're here because you accidentally activated a magic-circle and not through a portal?"

Arnima nodded, Alan also checked his mind, there are no lies. Alan immediately rubbed his forehead. Unexpectedly it turns out that what he is fighting is a witch who brought disaster to his home world, plus, Arnima herself comes from another world.

"Then why did you get inside Cindy's body?"

"It was just a coincidence, and a fortune to me." Answer Arnima. Alan chuckled at his reply, "maybe it's good luck to you, but it might be bad luck to Cindy."

"Did Cindy know about your whereabouts." Alan continued, looking for more information.

"Of course he knows where I am. Instead, he allowed me to stay in his body. She's a very nice girl, but also naive."

"Really! She was so nice, so beautiful, and so dreamy!"

Alex suddenly cuts their conversation by praising Cindy. All the attention was finally on her, thus making her very embarrassed. Alan could only shake his head.

"Does he know what you're doing?"

"...no." yeah."

"No?"

"Yes, I kept everything a secret from Cindy. He'll probably kick me out of his body if he knows what I'm doing. But, he can't kick me out."

"Can't!? Why can't you!?" Alex interrupts again, he is shocked to hear Arnima's statement.

"Because, he became a Specialist because of me."

Everyone was shocked, they did not understand the intent of Arnima and became curious.

"Whatchu mean? Explain it in detail."

Arnima took a deep breath, before telling her everything.

Cindy herself was originally a girl with a normal, ordinary and boring daily life. At school, she is a prima donna that is targeted because of her beautiful appearance and her kind, calm, peace-loving attitude, but very naive.

However, everything changes when Cindy accidentally meets Arnima's soul and communicates with him.

Whether this is fate or not, but, when Cindy sees the appearance of Arnima's soul, Cindy is like seeing herself in a mirror or maybe she is hallucinating meeting her twin? Cindy was very confused and surprised.

Arnima was initially very surprised because there are humans who are very similar to him. Arnima also sees that Cindy is actually a fitting container for him. So, Arnima decides to take advantage of Cindy. Arnima makes a contract with Cindy, the reward offered is Cindy can get the power.

At first the goal was so, but, somehow Arnima's goal changed, not to utilize but to protect.

"Protect?"

Arnima nodded slowly.

"As I inhabited his body, I observed him from within. I feel, she's a lot like my sister..."

"Keep, what do you mean he's Special because of you?"

Initially, Arnima does offer strength, but accidentally, when Cindy agrees to a contract with Arnima, Cindy suddenly becomes a Special.

"Uhhh.... All this makes my head woozy." Said Norga who was massaging his forehead.

Alan just smiled looking at the two of them, the information that was there could indeed make people confused. However, for Alan who experienced things beyond reason, Alan easily understood the information available.

"So, now, what's your goal? And apparently, you have something to do with the cases that happened recently."

"Yes, it was me" Arnima said in a somewhat guilty tone. "I'm just trying to recover my strength, but it seems like I'm too greedy and in a hurry."

"Initially I just wanted to eat the bad guys to restore my strength, but I was too greedy to hurt the common people as well."

There grew a little anger that was in Alan. In the news, his victims also included children.

"You. Is that what you did or not?"

Alan's tone was calm, but too calm. Arnima did not see Alan's face, but sure enough, his expression could now make people feel fear.

"Y-yeah, that's what I did too!"

Lying is free, Arnima can't lie from Alan. But if he answers honestly, his life is threatened. Indeed, meeting Alan while still in recovery condition is a misfortune that can bring him to death.

Arnima was ready to endure it all, but it was unexpected that it would be this fast. Yeah, Arnima's ready to die.

....Arnima was ready to die, but nothing happened, very quiet. However, the strange silence was finally broken by Alan himself.

"You, if I kill you, will Cindy get killed too?"

Arnima was somewhat surprised by the question and her head was slightly raised. Arnima was even more surprised, because the muzzle of the revolver was already on his forehead.

"Y-yeah! Technically, Cindy's body and my soul are united. So, if you shoot this body, me and Cindy will die."

Hearing a disappointing reply, Alan sighed and stood up, walking away from Arnima.

'He, what will he plan?'

Alan finally stopped, and he seemed to think hard.

"Hey, witch."

"Y-yes?"

"What are you going to do after this?"

"I. I don't know. I want to restore myself, so that I can become as strong as ever. But, I am currently also being chased by Necro."

"Necros? Why is Necro after you?"

"I once ate one of the Necro members, and I ended up being chased by them."

"chased? Baperan them too." Norga felt that Necro was a father, even though their image was like a cold-blooded criminal.

"No, they don't want to retaliate, but they want to catch me and don't know what they're going to do to me, but it's definitely a bad thing."

Alan was beginning to get confused as to what he was going to do for the witch in front of him. On one side he was upset, on one side he was sorry.

"Sir Alan!"

Alex yells at Alan. Their eyes glared at each other, Alex's eyes exuding a deep conviction and request.

Understanding Alex's intentions, Alan let out a long sigh and drew closer to Arnima.

"Hey witch, I have an offer for you."

"W-what's that?"

"Do you want to join my party? If you join my party, I will give you protection and resources that can increase your strength. If you don't, yes, please live your own life."

The offer given by Alan greatly confused Arnima. He doesn't know if he can trust Alan, Alex, and Norga. Better to have a friend than die.

"Well, I agree with your offer."

Alan nodded in satisfaction, "good choice."

Alan flicked his finger and slowly, the world collapsed. They finally returned to the real world.
