Chapter 16: Witches and a Ray of hope

Translated by SoundOfDestiny

Edited by Zil

Three hundred years ago, Garasurido, the head of the Six Witches of Doom, announced the annihilation of humanity. And: the five daughter witches complied.

The six witches plunged the continent into such chaos that it was as if it had been thrown into a fire, and humanity was driven to the brink of extinction.

What saved the human race was the appearance of twelve holy sword keepers. And a betrayal from one witch.

The youngest of the six witches, Neimilia, the Witch of Darkness, fell in love with a holy sword-bearer and betrayed her parents and sisters for the sake of the man she loved.

Through Neimilia’s antagonism, the six witches were successfully defeated, and the Sword Bearers of the time defeated the witches one by one, until finally the threat was defeated.

Although they were not able to completely destroy the immortal witches, the world was saved by the Sword Bearers of the time.

And then there’s Neimilia, who supported the holy sword holder she was in love with and even turned her family against him for his sake.

Her reward was not the eternal love……..of the man she loves, but a never-ending captivity.

“Why? Why is this happening to me?”

Chained to the ruins, Neimilia screamed.

She had betrayed her family for the man she loved. She had given up everything for him and had devoted her entire existence to him.

And yet, why should she have to go through this?

“….. Don’t you see, Neimilia?”

The man looking up at the hanging woman with cold eyes is the man she loved. He is one of the keepers of the Holy Sword who saved the world.

“It’s true that you betrayed the other witches and lent us your power. But that doesn’t erase the sins you’ve committed. It doesn’t bring back the people you’ve killed.”

“Eh, but…… it’s ……”

The man she loves has condemned her, and she is at a loss for words. She’s desperate to find an excuse, but the piercing stare of the man won’t let her.

The man smirks at the reluctant Neimilia and twists his lips sarcastically.

“I’m not going to kill you like the other witches. You should be thanking me.”

“……!”

The lips that once whispered love to her spat out sharp words of rejection. Neimilia heard it with disbelief, and tears fell from her eyes.

“You will spend an eternity in this place. A never-ending penance. And your sins may be washed away. At last, I’m finally at peace.”

“…………!”

“And one more thing I should tell you.”

The man she loved stepped out of the ruins and looked back at the bound Neimilia.

“It was you who destroyed my birthplace and killed my fiancée, Neimilia.”

“……”

“No one loves a fearless witch like you. I’ve never loved you.”

With that, the man closed the door to the ruins.

The ruins are closed tightly, and Neimilia is left in the darkness of the abyss.

“I,iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Don’t leave me, don’t leave me alone!”

(TL: I could type Noooooooooooooo but I prefer the sound in japanese since in my head is better.)

Neimilia’s screams spill out into the darkness. Tears of blood spilled from her golden eyes, soaking the stone floor red.

She was now a prisoner of war, and had been for a hundred years. She was not allowed to die because she was a witch, and she had to spend her dreadful years in the darkness of the abyss.

“Somebody, somebody….. help me ……”

The pleas of Neimilia were not heard by anyone.

But: even if they did not reach her: a helping hand was extended.

“Oh, it’s open.”

“……….. eh?”

Suddenly, out of the blue. Without warning, the door to the ruins was opened.

For the first time in hundreds of years, light shone into the stone building, and a young boy’s face appeared in the sunlight.
