Chereads / Quest from God / Chapter 58 - Witches

Chapter 58 - Witches

{Witch kingdom}

The witch queen and her daughter Selina discussed the only male mage and his action in the arena.

After Selina explained everything that happened at the event and showed the video all the queen said was.

"He is an anomaly at best and an enemy at worst." Queen

"The worst part is that he already has counter spells for even ancient magic.... any and all location finding spells to even destiny magic nothing can find him and when we try too hard a counter spell activates. It's as if he has placed booby traps all along his own destiny!" the queen was quite enraged right now since when she did try to use these spells to find him, at first they just failed but when she put more power into the spells it backfired and a message made of mana showed up.

'Stay in your limits' this is what Krishna said to the witch queen.... well he placed this message in his counter-spell so it was for anyone trying to find his location now or in the future.

{Vampire world Scathach's mansion}

Victor and Anderson where fighting while Krishna was lying down with his head in Sabine's lap.

"You know Sabine at this point I can just take my loved ones and live a quite life in some corner of the world.... and yet I constantly ask you both to work and keep working myself," Krishna said as he closed his eyes and just relaxed.

"If you are soo worried about these things then just spend more time with us" Sabine smiled as she looked at her lover.

BOOOOOOM

"Sigh they started fighting?" Sabine said as she saw flashes of light as well as loud sounds coming from outside.

Krishna snapped his fingers and a thin transparent shield appeared around the mansion.

{Outside}

Scathach was watching the fight when she felt a shield being made around the mansion and then around the spectators who were watching the fight.

Suddenly a large object hit Roberta's shield, and the object easily passed through Roberta's barrier, It then hit a mana barrier around Pepper which deflected it towards Roberta where another similar barrier deflected it again but this time it went toward Liza missing her face by a few inches.

All the people stood there stunned for a few seconds, ofcourse except for Scathach since she knew that Krishna had placed these barriers long ago and strengthened them daily.

Scathach just smiled sweetly while Pepper and everyone else looked at the barriers.

"What are these" Ruby asked while looking curiously at the barrier.

"Mana barriers....honestly, he worries too much." Siena says as she and Scathach show sweet smiles.

Back in the mansion, Krishna was talking to Sabine about the past year.

"I had thought Victor would come to talk to me for help but he just went his own way..."

Two months after Nightingale's lockdown.|

Krishna was in Russia searching for humans who did not take any system, of course the human must be above 10 years of age since before it the child does not know much..... exception always exist.

This was when Krishna suddenly felt the counter spell he placed in Victor's soul world/ inner world (whatsoever world one may call it) activate.

{Aphrodite's home}

Victor was sitting opposite to Aphrodite while she was releasing pink aura all around the room.

Just as she released her aura a blue aura burst out of Victor which countered the Goddesses aura.

'!! mana? how ... he is not a witch is he?... ah must be that human, for a human that is a pretty powerful spell but still no match for a god.'

Aphrodite increased the pressure.

Inside Victor's soul there was a chained monster and a few meters away from him was a huge Hexagonal pillar with Sanskrit writing on each of its faces.

On top of the pillar was a little avatar of Krishna made of pure mana, The avatar is a mini version of Krishna levitating on top of the pillar.

When Aphrodite increased the pressure the pillar too shook a little and released even more mana and Krishna's avatar slowly opened his eyes which were just all blue.

Just as that happened Aphrodite felt a set of eyes looking at her and her sould trembled... Krishna had various ways to hurt the spirit and the sould of any being. this is one of the reason why magic is feared in the universe.

Even if you are a god a wound to the soul will prove near fatal or fatal.

Aphrodite could feel that whatsoever was looking at her could potentially harm her and any strong being has become sensitive to that feeling.

Before anything else could happen Aphrodite stopped using her power and the Pillar also broke down.

'Hmmm so this is the extent ... a success if it was able to scare a titan.' Krishna smiled while sitting on a beach with Hanako, Cathleen, Sabine, and Julia.

"Cathleen how is the search coming along."

"Australia, North America and South America are done but we only found 200 people."

"Hmmmm that is a good number considering the population there is low compared to the continents that are left, Well Cathleen from now on you will focus on Training the recruits while Julia and Sabine can focus on searching."

"Stop talking about work Krishna," Hanako said as she took of the glasses and looked at Krishna with mock anger.

Everyone there laughed while Julia just smiled and stood behind Hanako like a dutiful maid.

Krishna had told Julia to take a major role in his familia but Julia had insisted that she will take on any task but would remain as a maid since she trained for it since she was little.

Krishna then appointed her as an elder and let her do as she wishes, Julia then became a personal maid of Hanako.

That and the second in command of the operation that Krishna had started ever since the quest from god came into effect.

***************

A day later|

Krishna was back in Scathach's territory with everyone and was once again reading his research notes while Scathach and Cathleen lazed around and Sabine helped Krishna with the papers.

"Scathach, Cathleen you both could also help Krishna..... Especially you Scathach I know you are very experienced and that would be helpful." Sabine looked at the two women who were lying on different couches like cats

"Hahahaha leave them be Sabine, I should take a break as well, a guest is approaching." Krishna chuckled and got up.

"Should I go?" Scathach opened an eye and looked at Krishna.

Krishna kissed her forehead which earned him a pout from Cathleen and a satisfied sigh from Scathach.

Krishna then slapped the ass of his pouting squirrel and went back to reading.

Soon Kaguya appeared, accompanied by a witch.

"...." Scathach raised an eyebrow a little in amusement when she saw the woman's alertness.

'Is it because of me... Or because of Kaguya?' Scathach thought quickly, and then an answer popped into her head:

'It's because of Kaguya... Is she afraid of the Assassin Clan?' Scathach thought there was no reason for the woman to fear her. After all, she was harmless, she was only the strongest female vampire in the world. She was harmless like a rabbit, right?

"...." Selena felt her spine prickling a little when she saw Scathach's smile; 'Why is she smiling? I did nothing! I just walked through the door!'

"Mother?" Ruby looked at Scathach.

"..." Scathach looked at Ruby, and seeing her daughter's gaze, she understood what she wanted.

Despite looking young, Selena was old... VERY OLD.

Scathach didn't know her exact age, but since she was young, she had heard some rumors about the first daughter of the witch queen, but the information was never consistent. After all, we were talking about witches.

But one thing is for sure, at least the first three daughters of the witch queen were older than a 2000 year old vampire.

And did that mean anything?

Not really.

Witches weren't like vampires, so they didn't get stronger the longer they lived.

This was a characteristic of vampires.

But...

The older witches were the most difficult to deal with, considering they had thousands of years to 'prepare' for anything unforeseen.

And not to mention that they had magic never shown to the public. The woman in front of them was just a being covered in several doubts for younger girls.

Because of this, Ruby asked Scathach to take over since, with the strongest female vampire instinct, Scathach would know when to step in or not.

Selena let go of her staff, the staff began to float beside her as she grabbed the edges of her dress and gave a brief curtsey:

"Countess Scathach, Lady Ruby, Lady Violet." She was not very formal and treated the women mentioned as friends.

Which was a rather strange attitude for a professional witch.

"My name is Selena Moriarty, I am the daughter of the witch queen, I came here to meet with Count Alucard, is he present?" She spoke in a neutral tone as she looked at Scathach.

"Currently, he is not here, he has gone to solve something." Scathach spoke in a neutral voice as she crossed her legs and arms.

"I see..." Selena was silent, but she had a plan in mind in case that happened.

"In that case, can I wait here in your mansion? The matter at hand is quite important to us witches." She flashed a small professional smile.

"...." Scathach didn't answer right away, as she kept looking at Selena and then said:

"You know? I don't really like witches." She narrowed her eyes.

"..." The whole atmosphere was tense at Scathach's few words.

Ruby and Violet looked at this situation neutrally and didn't intend to intervene.

"...." Selena's professional smile didn't die.

Fushhhhhhhhh

That pressure fell around like it was creating its own gravitational field.

Crack, Crack.

Things around Scathach began to crack, and Scathach's entire being seemed to be covered with pure darkness.

Gulp.

Unconsciously, the woman swallowed hard when she felt this aura. And for a few seconds, she had a vision of a woman looking at her from above a mountain of hundreds and thousands of dead bodies:

'Just… just how many beings did she kill?" The woman's death aura was much stronger than hers!

She, who was a witch that dealt in necromancy! A witch who dealt with death daily! This is nonsense.

"Stop using your magic on my residence."

Crack!

The shield covering Selene's body broke into pieces.

"...." Selene lost her professional smile and looked at Scathach with a serious look.

The pressure exuding from Scathch's body slowly started to wear off, and she said with an innocent smile, "Did your mother never teach you that it's disrespectful to use magic in someone else's house?

"...." Selene didn't answer Scathach.

"Especially in the house of a Vampire Count?"

[Master...] Selena heard a dark voice inside her head, her eyes glowed Neon Blue for a few seconds, but quickly returned to normal:

Krishna who was quietly sitting at the back of the room with Cathleen on his lap and Sabine hugging him from behind looked at Selene..... or more like he looked straight at the creatures hiding in Selene.

He extended his hand and made an action similar to holding someone's neck.

[Ghukk.... who...ma...ster]

Selene's face turned pale and she looked around till she saw Krishna and knew instantly who was holding his minion.

"Keep your dogs on a tighter leash.... the next time he even thinks of harming someone here will be the last you ever see it." Krishna smiled as he gave the warning and proceeded to release the 'dog'.

None of the women present were able to understand or see what exactly Krishna did but the effect was pretty big, Selene's face was pale and serious which meant that what Krishna did was something not in her calculations.

Selene was wondering how Krishna could know of them and how he was able to touch them!

Scathach just stood where she was with a proud look while Ruby, Sasha and Violet were just confused but happy.
