Scorpion Tail, will it stop at the knight's roar? Of course not, the sharp spikes slammed down towards Gloria's heart with a hollow-piercing scream, but they encountered an unexpected obstacle when they were about to pierce the nezumi's skin. It was a reddish, black sword.

"Ding!" The crisp sound woke up the daughter of Saron, who had closed her eyes and waited for death, and she was surprised to see in front of her, a shirtless man with a dark red eerie symbol tattooed on his skin facing away from her, the man holding a long sword in both hands, wrestling with the black scorpion's tail thorn. As the red lines became distinct, the sword-wielder seemed to gain some great power as well, and he roared angrily, his arms slamming into force, pushing the scorpion's massive body back a few steps.

"Simple sounds. Leon, who was standing in the doorway, shrugged his shoulders and said to the glaring Kouira. Then, armed with a one-handed sword, the Blood Lion suddenly burst into force with his legs, rushing towards the witch as fast as he could. He understands that when it comes to fighting spellcasters, hand-to-hand combat is the best option.

But as a seasoned witch, Kuyla was certainly not so easy to deal with. She sneered, and the white giant spider stood between the two, and the eight compound eyes of the giant spider were like eight black pearls, exuding a bewildering brilliance in the dark environment. Leon didn't notice it for a moment, attracted by this strange color, and suddenly only the eight black orbs remained in his eyes, completely forgetting his situation. Seeing the knight who had lost his ability to react step by step approaching the giant spider's open mouth, the webworms who arrived behind let out a cry in time.

"Hey!" Leon's voice woke up as he glanced at the monster that was close to him, and quickly dodged the sharp teeth that staggered from both sides with a backflip.

"It's dangerous, it's magic, too?" the knight asked, waving his weapon and asking his companion behind him.

The mercenary looked at the dense cobwebs in the room, her nose wrinkling unconsciously at the smell of blood in the air. "No, that spider's eyes were born with that ability. This is their method of predation, and this is where their name comes from, the black-eyed Mind Spider Lehorst, the ominous White Witch, that's what we call it. ”

"Sounds like you know a lot, little girl. Kouira's voice came from behind the spider, but neither Leon nor the webworm could see her. Thinking about the use of some hidden spell or ability, "I heard the rumor of a spider tamer mercenary, but I didn't expect you to run here. ”

"Am I honored to be remembered by the Witch?" said the networm, but the mercenary's face did not look half honored in her humble words.

"It's not a good thing to be remembered by witches, they will strangle you like snakes, squeeze out your last breath, and swallow you in your stomach without mercy. They are the pests of this world, and if they hide in the shadows, it will be fine, but if they dare to jump out and defile this world, we will let them die in accordance with their identity. Raven took her staff and walked into the room. Behind the sorcerer was Mloth, who was carrying Kiri's body.

"Is that what the noble grey-robes say about us? A bunch of madmen hiding from the world think of themselves as the arbiters of the world, pretending to be righteous and define who should dominate the world, and who doesn't deserve to live?"

Cursed Crow, laughed, he laughed a few times, his laughter was full of disdain and mockery, "Should I say that you are really a natural harlequin? As he spoke, the wizard's eyes glowed with a strong magical aura, "But one or two foolish jokes are enough." Repeatedly taunting you for your stupidity only makes me feel disgusting. ”

The six-winged crow on the Speller's Staff seemed to respond to its owner, and its eyes glowed red, and glowing red powder fell from under the feathers that should have rotted a long time ago. "With your shallow way of thinking, you still want to define us? Each gray robe is completely different to you guys, like someone would fight the demon lord to the death for this boring city, and I, I don't care about this place or its inhabitants. ”

"Then why are you still here? "Kuira's pets confronted the knight and the killer, while the networm and Bakham had noticed that more bugs were gathering towards the area. They were tempted to urge the wizard to stop wasting time talking to each other, but neither of them had the guts to actually say it.

"Why am I here? That's the question I should ask you, Ms. Cooira. In these circumstances, what right do you have to blempty in front of me. Your greatest dependence, the demon above our heads, can't help you anymore. Why don't you grab your tail and run away like a dog should do?" the wizard's words made his companions nervous. According to their thoughts, being ridiculed like this, even the most well-educated people are afraid that they will be angry, and the big war should be imminent.

But all they waited for was silence, and the huge insects did not advance any further, even though they had already crowded not far from the door. The black scorpion and the white spider also remained in place, not making an attacking posture. What are they waiting for?

"Let's talk about a deal. The witch's voice sounded much calmer, less agitated than it had at first. And just when the others were shocked to hear this, the cursed crow showed a natural expression.

Things would not have come to this point, and Kuira, who had Erdu to suppress the scene, would not have chosen to negotiate with the gray robe at all, and the demon lord's strong strength did give her the capital to do so. But what Cheese did changed the course of events, and while it is still unknown what method the mage used, he did disappear from Vale with Erdo. In this case, Kouira undoubtedly lost the largest part of her combat power, which forced the scheming witch to think about whether she could defeat the Cursed Raven in a white-knuckle battle on her own, and how much it would cost to defeat the Cursed Raven.

The Raven was aware of this, and the Spellcaster's next question was what would happen to Kuira in such a situation. Of the many possible outcomes, the witch is most likely to flee, as she doesn't have to fight the team to the death in the first place, and it's not a shame to choose to leave after losing her advantage. But she didn't, so why? What reason was there for Kuyla to stay here against an elite squad?

Stupidity and invisibility were the first answers that the wizard came up with, but he immediately dismissed the idea, anyway, Kouira was a witch who had lived for a long time, and she would not be so ignorant of current affairs. Excluding this, the reason left by the witch is nothing more than coercion and inducement. Or, someone forced her to stay here with some kind of threat, most likely her own life. Either that, or the guy who drove the witch all the way here threw a bait that Kuyla couldn't refuse.

If it's the former, then there's nothing to say, for Kouira, retreating is a certain death, and she will only choose to fight with everyone. But if it's the latter, then the witch will most likely try to use other methods to achieve her goals. Like, negotiations. However, negotiation is not done casually, especially if the crow has played a witch once before, and the other party is bound to have some concerns, so it is up to the enchanter to show his intention to negotiate, and the most important point is that he must not show hatred for what Kuyla has done. Only then will the witch let her guard down a little and try to achieve her goal by other means.

"Okay, let's have a good talk. The wizard smiled and spoke.
