Chapter 37: The Witches

Perhaps, Lena had seen many witches who had been publicly executed, and her faces had impressed her.

So much so that when she fell into the situation of dying, the memory of what happened to them began to torment her: after all, none of the witches died happily.

When each witch is executed, the fear, sadness, and reluctance to die will be added to the longing for death as soon as possible due to the long torture of execution, which is extremely contradictory at first glance.

This feeling may be similar to that of Lena: she doesn't want to die, but she also hopes that the torture will end soon and give herself a relief.

Of course, there is also the unwillingness and grievance of why he has to die.

Besides, she's not a witch yet.

It is difficult to tell which one of those who were caught and quickly executed as witches, or the girls who were raised in the witch's prison since childhood, and who knew that they would be killed in the sixteenth year, would be more painful when they stood on the execution table.

The latter is certainly mentally prepared. The sad part is that from an early age he was deprived of life after the age of sixteen. The former is relatively sudden, but it's hard to say whether it will be subject to greater volatility.

April's movements make the illusion see her as an enemy.

The undead of these witches just sat blankly in the coffin, their eyes focused on April. Strangely, there was no hostility at all, but rather a little confused and curious.

They didn't want to climb out of the coffin yet. Because the body has a wound caused by the execution, and the face has not changed, it does not look terrible at all.

Aprili calmed down and drew her silver sword to face it. At the same time, the brain quickly conceived the idea of combat.

Looking at this situation, the witches are not hostile for the time being, so they may not really do it.

But once the battle begins, the enemy can be difficult: although in the real world they were executed they hadn't awakened the blood of the witch, but this is Lena's warped space, and who knows what will happen. Maybe in the next second, the situation will be completely different from what it is now?

Just as April thought this, she shifted her gaze and looked around for a moment, hoping to find a breakthrough: since there were witches sitting up in every coffin, something special must have happened.

Maybe one of the witches is Lena.

However, after calming down and looking around under the pressure of the witches, she really discovered something: although there were no witches who looked like Lena, there were several coffins scattered around.

How about picking a coffin and sitting down?

April pinched her waist and thought about it for a moment, and could only think like this: There are so many witches sitting in her coffin, and I will pick one random one to enter, maybe there will be a breakthrough in this situation.

After all, there was no Lena anywhere in sight, most of them hiding somewhere else.

All the witches were silently looking at April. Even the eyes can be said to be very friendly. So she didn't pay much attention to it, just sat in the coffin in front of everyone, waiting for something to happen.

..................

For a moment, April felt that the atmosphere had fallen silent. Only the screams of the witches echoed around as always, and the witches themselves just looked at her silently, extremely quiet.

Huh, isn't it?

The idea was shattered, and Aprili was a little embarrassed: it wasn't what she had planned.

I see, probably going to lie down!

April stayed in the coffin and thought, thinking that this was probably it.

So he lay down and decided to wait for a miracle to happen.

But there was still no response. And lying in a coffin with hard and rough friction really made Aya's sensitive skin a little uncomfortable.

Aya's skin is still very fragile and can be broken if you are not careful. Although, it will be fixed in an instant.

But the pain is no joke. Even if Aya can tolerate pain, five times the pain of ordinary people is not a decoration.

After lying down, there was still no reaction, which was really devastating......

April sat up again and climbed out of the coffin, frustrated.

I wanted to think about what went wrong, but I didn't think there was anything I could do.

Ah, I see! Before two seconds had passed in her frustrated state, Aprile had a new idea: probably to talk to the witches!

None of them looked like enemies, maybe they were people they needed to talk to.

If Geralton had been here, he would have sneered at April's sudden realization, "You understand again!"

Now that she's thought about it, April doesn't plan to waste time. She immediately walked up to one of the witches and tried to talk to her, "Uh...... Hello?"

The other party looked at her quietly and did not react.

Next, no matter what April said, the other party remained silent, as if she couldn't speak. The unforgiving reality forces April to give up and find another way out.

What should I do? I feel like I'm in some weird misconception...... At the same time, April felt a headache, and a sadness: I can't just give up!

Do you want me to attack these witches...... Impossible!

Saying...... Wait.

Feeling that something was wrong, Aprili touched her white hair and remembered one thing: it seemed that from the moment the witches appeared, there was no liquid dripping on her head.

Although there was no blood dripping all the time before, this more or less caught April's attention.

She looked up at the torture instruments above her.

At first glance it's fine, but I don't know what will happen when you get closer.

Thinking so, April flew to her feet and hovered beside the witch's execution table: it was the same torture instrument that had been dripping blood before, and now it was dripping blood, but not a drop of blood had fallen to the ground.

This is true of the surrounding piercing tables and other torture instruments.

After Aprily flew up to the ceiling, the witches stopped chasing April's body with their vision as before, and did not look up.

It's like you've lost your target.

In fact, she also sensed what was happening: when the blood was dripping down, it was spilled on some transparent barrier, so it didn't drip down. Presumably, the witches no longer follow themselves with their gaze because of the influence of the enchantment.

What does this mean...... Trying to see the location of the enchantment with the Demon Hunting Horizon but finding nothing, April was confused: could there be something hidden in this enchantment?

As she watched, April noticed something.

It seems, witches, dripping blood, etc., these are all part of the clue.

Those are hints - to the depths of the warped illusion. There are no distorted illusions, and there is no way for people to pass through.
