Chapter 49 - Witch Hunting

The woman then dissolves into light along with her clothes before a bunch of basic elemental spells are launched towards the shop and I return fire with some darkness swords while rushing outside and finding a group of witches.

I quickdraw my katana and slice the heads off of three of them while I hear glass breaking and another two are dead from a shot through the eye. I then make a shadow hand and I catch an arrow headed for my heart before throwing it back with some strings attached.

Justin then exits the shop with his gun reloaded and he starts shooting the approaching witches while I add all my guns to shadow hands on my back and I start unloading. While shooting my third shot I find an rpg headed towards us.

Justin has to reload so he takes and empty magazine before throwing it while putting his guns away and drawing a katana. He rushes straight down while I make shadow swords to keep them from entering the side alleyways.

After reloading all my guns I put them all on my shadow hands as I wall jump onto the roof and grab Justin before getting a hail of arrows coming towards us. I then make a massive shadow hand to crush everyone below while Justin takes his sword starts spinning.

I jump on top of his and I start shooting while four massive blades of fire are made and they incinerate the arrows. I aim my sniper and load a few nanomachines inside while I send it to a building that should have the most witches before hitting one right in the skull.

I then use my shadow strings to manipulate her and I manage to kill another one with a string through the skull and I keep going until the whole building is mine while also making shadow shields for me and Justin to hide under.

After a second all the roofs start to make shields in the shape of hearts while a bunch more of the cultists start making there way onto the rooftop. We keep shooting a good bit of them before we finally run out of ammo and we both draw our swords.

We both lunge outwards missing each other barley and skewering a cultist and then slashing horizontally and cutting a few cultists while cultists jump over my side and I switch to my scythe while lopping of there heads.

I then find my scythe stuck on Justin's sword and he grabs the scythe while I grab his sword and jump up to find him having spun. He then slices again and I land right against his back while he throws the scythe up and I grab it while using a shadow hand to slice over his way.

I dispel the shadow hand and I grab the scythe while shooting multiple shadow blades into the approaching cultists. Me and Justin keep exchanging sides for another minute until they stop coming up.

"You head over to them, I'll hold down the fort." Justin just nods and hops to the next rooftop while take out my sniper and I shoot another bullet trying for a different trick this time. I load the bullet with enough electricity to cook someone and I shoot it at the metal they were standing on.

As my bullet goes I see the shield suddenly crack into thousands of pieces while I can hear the screaming from both in front and behind me. I suddenly hears screams from the last area and I find what looks like a blood dragon coated in lighting appear and start running through the last group.

While I put away the sniper that one women from the counter shows up with a blinding flash of light on the roof, I put the guns away while putting my katana on my hip and having a dagger in hand.

"Last chance pretty boy"

"I'm no one's bitch you whore."

She then tries to grab me with the whip but I duck under and while running forwards and I throw a few knives. She makes a few heart shields and a flash of light while dodging left but I just follow her while rolling and jumping to be right in front of her.

She tries again to impale me with a heart but I just drag it into my shadow with some shadow hands while grabbing her with some strings through her limbs. She struggles a bit but before she tries anything funny I make a few soul cleaving circles while taking the soul cleaving sword and I start cutting her soul.

She screams in pain and the best part is she's still alive and conscious so before I give her the sendoff I stick my gun down her throat while smiling.

"Have nice trip to hell, or whatever's left of that filthy soul at least." While I pull the trigger I find that another three shots were also aimed for her head and she then falls limp while blood pours out of her.

After a few minutes Amelia Justin and Bianca walk up to the rooftop and Amelia just whistles at the bloodbath.

"We heard everything, Steven sent it all to us."

"Your calling the supercomputer Steven?" I then get a message from my phone.

'I chose Steve, not Steven.'

"Well let's start the cleanup, there is no way this isn't getting reported so make sure there isn't even a speck of blood left." We then start cleaning up bloodstains with magic and after five minutes the other two show up and we keep cleaning.

After half an hour of non stop cleaning we finally got everything to the way it was before while also erasing any evidence from the databases. After an hour nothing happens and I'll just hope that everyone is a heavy sleeper.

After everyone has a beer I start with a major topic I need to address.
