Chapter 485 – #102_Charity Event (3)

One.
Location point.
An outpost of homunculus and public subjugation established by Duke Tiphareth in this world.
Until the first establishment, there were less than 10 branches all over the world, but after consultations with ministers of each country over a long period of time, they entered various places and increased their influence.
This is because the interests of witches and political and business figures who exert influence all over the world are intertwined.
First of all, the position of the high-ranking people of the present world.
The atrocities of the homunculus and public exploits are like disasters that even advanced science and technology cannot deal with.
The role of the location point, which prevented the disaster caused by the homunculus and the depravity of exploits just by existing, was no different from the office of an all-purpose solver.
Therefore, politicians of each country handed over enormous benefits and extra-legal rights to establish and maintain location points.
Even as a witch (mainly an outcast), the existence of location points is nice.
Unlike Gehenna, there are no clear statutes to protect witches in the present world.
This means the anxiety of being attacked by an enemy or an outcast who suddenly changed at any time.
No matter how superhuman a witch is, an organization to share information and ensure personal safety is necessary.
Therefore, the initial purpose of the location point was to serve as an outpost for subjugation, but in modern times, it serves a complex role such as an information sharing center, a safe zone where you can relax, and a research institute.
It is a kind of mini Gehenna.
That’s why it was given the implicit authority of being a neutral zone in this world, and it was able to establish branches in large cities throughout Eastern Europe, the African continent, and South America where achievements were concentrated.
In other words, ‘a location point is attacked’ is as shocking as an embassy being attacked.
“…….”
Branch manager Sua frowned as she read the faxed report.
There were only very concise sentences written there.
[A number of unidentified exploits. Invasion of the Dar es Salaam branch. Abdest branch manager and 8 others died. Decide to withdraw. No support required.]
The Dar es Salaam branch in Tanzania was invaded and suffered heavy losses and withdrew.
Just a few days ago, the Addis Ababa branch in Ethiopia was invaded and toppled, meaning that two of East Africa’s largest branches fell.
“Duke Keter… Is it really not moving….”
Keter, who has been acting as a weight for the witch society.
Her achievements, which had been silent until rumors circulated that she could no longer move, are now showing signs of oblivion.
This is because various events that have occurred around the world have supported the rumors as being true.
The achievements were the first to systematically hit the location point, which was a thorn in the eye.
The ratio of achievements to all witches is less than 5%.
However, they are a collection of madness and obstinacy that have lived by any means and methods for the sake of magic.
Even when Qliphoth, which was made up of some evil exiles and exploits, collapsed, the best of evil survived under the sword dance of Duke Tiphareth, who returned as a vengeful demon.
Even at the same rank, it is not allowed to compare with the normal witch’s combat power.
They held hands and acted as a group.
As a result, in less than two weeks, a total of 12 branches, including Mexico City, Cairo, Lima, Santiago, and St. Petersburg, were destroyed.
In the midst of active public activities, the South American branch, which somehow continued its activities, also collapsed, and in fact, the South American continent turned into a lawless zone.
Public workplaces spread across the world’s underground economy also caused aggressive expansion and clashes.
Due to this chaos, the outcasts lost their bodies, and the disasters presumed to be caused by the homunculus increased explosively as the subjugation decreased.
In one word, I’m sorry.
Similar to the time when the absolute power died and small kingdoms sprang up in an instant, the exploits hidden by Keter’s deterrence were showing the aftermath of the reaction all at once.
The biggest problem is that the witches inside Gehenna or the outcasts outside don’t respond properly.
While many developed countries provide tens of billions of dollars in aid to Gehenna and Wichita every year, South America, which has been a pandemonium of achievements and third world countries, has not provided any special benefits.
In other words, since it is a finger that doesn’t hurt even if you bite it, you watch with your hands behind your back with the mentality of ‘give something to run’.
There are few people who want to face the hungry fighting dog who has started to taste blood to protect the small table.
A foolish idea indeed.
At least, the branch heads of Location Point, who sensed the seriousness of the situation, were running around and subjugating them, starting with Eloa, but they were also heavy-duty.
“That’s ironic….”
It was clearly revealed how witches had enjoyed the benefit of no cost until now.
The achievements were not enough, and the situation in which the ‘old witches’ were moving was also captured.
Will the exploits, which are now satisfied with devouring the outskirts, be able to properly respond when they attack the main branch with momentum?
Branch Manager Sua already felt that the troubles were increasing.
2.
Former lover and love-hate partner, Bianca Bellillie.
She is dead
The true ancestor witch, Clerch Asmode, has accepted the cruel reality.
Losing the owner behind it, losing about 10,000 members, and even losing the boss, Alcoriza Familia completely collapsed.
If Clech had paid a little attention to her mergers and acquisitions, she could have absorbed her remaining capital without difficulty.
But Clech didn’t do that.
“I will take revenge….”
All you want is revenge, only revenge.
Receiving a fair price from the bug that killed the lover he loved.
Rumor has it that Bianca had one last fight with a male witch.
Some even said that he was killed by a man named Shin Si-woo.
But, at least among the public, no one believed the rumour.
“There’s no way that Bianca would have died to a pathetic bastard like that.”
Who is the Witch of Desire?
22 ranks, an undefeated shooter who has never been defeated in his long life.
It can only be said that it was a bad joke that he fought against a man who was only one generation old and lost.
‘There’s an unknown secret story,’ Clech decided, and went around Bianca’s studio.
The place that was already known to the outside world had been plundered by another witch.
However, securing an escape route and a safe house in case of emergency is an essential skill for a public figure.
Clech knew quite a bit about the location of Bianca’s secret workshop.
After three days of searching, Klech was able to find plausible information.
The place of her memories of exchanging hot love once became a sharp blade and made her heart ache, while the drawers of the studio where she last stayed were gathered with the materials Bianca had researched.
It was true that Bianca was after her male witch.
Siwoo Shin.
The only male witch in history who caused a commotion even in this world.
A slave from Gehenna.
About 19 in the estimated hierarchy.
Currently living in Gehenna and notarized by Sua Agatha, Eloa Tiphareth, and Count Zemanai.
The friendly witches around are Count Yesod, Cybele Periwinkle, and Sharon Evergreen.
There were fragmentary information about him and the work log to bring him out of Gehenna.
Preliminary force check through rampage of homunculus.
A task to separate him from the dangerous element, Duke Tiphareth.
Since then, his records have been cut off to the point of being unnatural.
That was good information.
Because I was able to catch a strand about the circumstances of the incident.
There is no chance that Bianca was attacked by a single male witch.
If so, it is Duke Tipperette who was not fooled by her Bianca’s decoys who subdued her.
“Ah….”
Clech felt a distant despair as well as the fury of his beast.
Whoever it is,
Even if it meant risking his life and disposing of all his possessions, he was determined to seek revenge.
However, Duke Tiphareth is an exception.
Clech vividly remembers the image of Duke Tiphareth beating three great witch-class enemies on the day of the ox 40 years ago.
Clech herself is also called the True Ancestor Witch, and she stands at the end of the 21st hierarchy.
“You don’t have to be the target of your revenge.”
Clech’s red eyes scan the papers again.
According to Bianca’s research, Shin Si-woo and the Duke of Tiphareth have a very close relationship.
It was written that he was her disciple and possibly her lover at the same time.
What would happen if the duke, who lost his beloved disciple and wandered the world, loses the man he loves again?
It would also be a good revenge in that I could share even a little of this pain.
“Then….”
But here’s the problem.
Shin Siu appears to be confined to Gehenna.
Clech’s magnetic magic was far from secret.
Infiltrating Gehenna and meeting him won’t be difficult, but when it comes time to kill him, you’ll be quickly stopped.
The proof was that Bianca, who was far more cautious and meticulous than Clech, had lured him out of Gehenna.
Along with Bianca, the two witches with whom they were at least familiar promised Klech their help.
In return for a small show of sincerity, he would help with revenge.
But Clech didn’t believe them.
It is a bitch that is no different from the ‘witch of the search’ or the ‘witch of the sword’, or an eagle hovering around to peck at raw liver.
If you see even the slightest opening, they will put a knife in your back.
What Clech thought of was ‘Shalit Nukelaby, the witch of the deep sea’ who made a pact with his ancestors.
She was one of the old witches known to have been purged by the Duke of Keter.
But she is alive, she has made her own kingdom in the depths of her sea.
It is thanks to Asmode, the predecessor of the family, who took the risk to disguise Shalit as dead about 300 years ago.
Could Keter not notice?
Or, I don’t know if she turned a blind eye to Shalit, who chose to live a life cut off from the world.
One thing is certain: the Witch of the Deep is still alive.
And that she made a pact with her ancestors in the name of Nukelaby.
A promise to ‘repay with one life, one life’.
Klech turned his steps straight into the Arctic Ocean.
