Chapter 348
When the entrance opened, what Eliza faced was not a cave, but a pure white plain.
The world was covered with pure white snow that fell from the sky, and there was only one rock on the ground and an arctic white owl sitting there resting its wings.
“What your companion said is correct.”
But even if the owl spoke, there was nothing surprising. It was common for witches to have familiars.
“This cave is a shapeless space from the beginning. But because it is nothing, it can become anything.”
Eliza aimed her rapier at the sight of an owl smiling like a human.
“Lewis’ familiar… … . “Are you our enemy?”
However, Shoichi, who recognized the owl’s ability through his mind’s eye, shook his head. Looking at the owl’s mana amount, it was just a simple chore familiar. In terms of the amount of mana, it was less than that of a second-class monster.
“No, I am a guide. “You only open the way and you have no power to cause any harm.”
“… … road? “That’s enough of a riddle, so let’s say it in an easy way.”
Unable to hold back, Eliza spewed out mana and increased her momentum, but the owl did not even react.
“Yes, that’s right. road. “Aren’t you here to break the barrier?”
The owl, which was resting its wings, rose from the rock. As his white wings made a sound, his feathers fluttered in all directions, and the owl turned into a boy with white hair.
“It’s not a mystery. “Luis, you don’t like riddles.”
The white-haired boy who was Lewis’s familiar laughed at the two hunters who were nothing more than intruders.
“You have chosen the path of the moon. Wasn’t it written kindly? The most outstanding… … Choose the path of the moon. “The party assumed that the device maintaining the barrier was an artifact, but they were wrong.”
The boy explained as a guide.
“This space is the path you must walk and the ordeal itself. Of course, it is one of the important devices that forms a barrier.”
What is this space and what is the path you must walk.
“Of course, what is at the end of the road is exactly what Lewis engraved… … Our master. “The most outstanding person Louis has ever met.”
The guide placed his hand on the rock.
“You will meet him through the path of the moon.”
Whoa!
The boy’s body became a black wave and ascended to heaven, and for an instant, a beautiful moon shone in the darkened night sky.
Utopia.
Golden waves glided across the blue night sea. The only thing left in the quiet silence is the same rock as before.
If there was anything else, the first was that the scenery had changed, and the second was that the person sitting on the rock was not an owl, but a knight wearing black protective gear.
“Lewis met… … . The most outstanding one?”
Shoichi expressed his doubts, and Eliza, realizing who the knight in front of her was, let out a sigh.
“… … Ma, don’t you know who defeated the witches?”
If you’ve done research on witches, how can you forget a name you’ve seen again and again in the tower’s records?
In a war situation where humans were at a disadvantage, the knight achieved victory by single-handedly cutting down the enemies of the empire, including witches and demons.
“The strength estimated through the tower’s records is level 7… … .”
As the Empire’s greatest knight and disciple of the Holy King, his symbol is black armor. The people of the empire praised him in unison when they saw him wearing black armor and setting out on an expedition to the demons.
“A knight of destruction.”
Of course, the one sitting on the rock was not a real knight of destruction. It’s just an imitation created by Lewis through a barrier. So, if you just defeat it from this side, the magic will be destroyed and the barrier will be immediately lifted.
Rattling-
The Knight of Destruction stood up, clad in iron armor. The golden waves surrounding the night sea were proof that the Holy King had passed away and meant that the Knight of Destruction was at his peak when he was the strongest.
“Everything is unknown.”
A nervous Shoichi muttered.
How strong is the 7th grade copycat?
With a combat power of level 6, wouldn’t the two of us have a good chance?
However, the moment the Knight of Destruction took out his sword, Eliza felt it.
‘That… … Dangerous.’
Saaa-
The knight’s sword was imbued with coldness thanks to Lewis’ magic. It was an ability that did not exist in the original, and it was proof that Lewis had used every means possible.
‘Stupid association guys!’
Lewis has evolved.
The current Lewis was not level 6, but perhaps stronger than his prime. In order to increase the odds of winning even a little, you had to attack first before the Knight of Destruction showed his power.
“Now!”
“Okay, let’s attack together!”
Eliza’s straight rapier made a silver tail and rushed like a meteor, and Shoichi’s sword struck the blind spot where the Knight of Destruction had the most difficulty blocking.
Wedge-!
Suddenly!
This is an incredible joint attack created by two hunters in a split second.
Wow!
The rapier pierced the armor, causing blood to splatter from the body, and Shoichi’s sword dug into his thick torso, but the Knight of Destruction did not dodge.
Rather, with a rapier and a sword stuck in his body, he swung a huge sword and drew a half moon.
Boom-!
“Tsk!”
“Ugh!”
Eliza and Shoichi, who retreated with incredible reaction speed, avoided having their bodies split in two, but the problem was the coldness of Louis’ sword.
The ice pieces that flew out with the sword began to freeze as soon as they touched the skin. It reacted quickly as if poison had seeped into the body.
Seeing Eliza’s entire leg frozen, Shoichi stretched out his hand and shouted.
“Eliza!”
Lewis’ coldness instantly turned Eliza into an ice statue. Shoichi infused mana to resist, but the cold that started from his legs and creeped up even froze his body.
slam!

The beautiful night sea, like the ebb tide, began to go out with the sound of rough waves. In a world where the moon was setting, the sky was setting, and a snowstorm was raging like the first time, the boy sat on a rock and chanted.
“You failed to pass the Moon Path. Even though both of you are frozen, can you hear my voice? Hehe, even though my body can’t move, my mind is intact… … “Luis’ coldness is truly cruel.”
The boy, who returned to his owl form, sat on Eliza’s head, which had become an ice statue, and expressed his regret.
“Path of the Moon is a masterpiece created by Lewis. Aden… … . It’s an ordeal you’ve prepared for a long time in preparation for that silver-haired monster… … . But these invaders are too weak.”
His master Lewis was more prepared and stronger than before, but the challengers were too weak compared to the Aden that had previously attacked.
“If Moon’s path to recruiting the most talented people is at this level… … The same goes for the other side.”
If the leader is like this, is there someone with incredible skills who is on the other side? Her owl-like familiar lay on Adella’s head and yawned, her wings fluttering.
“Foolish people who come here on their own to die… … . “It won’t be long until Louis truly appears.”
* * *
The moment she first saw the silver hair and red eyes of Adella, who had grown up through the crystal ball, she was thrilled.
“… … Ah, it’s not too late.”
Louis looked at Adela’s image in the crystal ball and trembled with his pale hands clasped together.
Lewis recalled the moment he was trapped in the seal stone right in front of the fruit he had been waiting for.
[like this… … It can’t be sealed!]
Lewis already knew the fear of hunters that exist in this world. She had a higher level of intelligence than other bosses, and she also knew that in order to terrorize and rule this world, she had to hide herself from Hunters.
But for that to happen, one premise was needed. In order to hide her identity and infiltrate human society, she must abandon the body of Louise, the Winter Witch.
“What I wanted so much… … .”
Lewis’s actions from then on were all part of the plan. She hid her body and searched for her own vessel, and after a long time she saw her little Adela.
It was fate that Louise, the witch of winter, met Adela. Adella had a great aptitude for cold, and her pale skin and red eyes looked like her own self before she was chosen to be her ‘witch’.
To Lewis, Adela was better than any other vessel and was a seed he never wanted to miss.
“My vessel.”
That’s why Lewis set up a fortress-like barrier in Volterra and eroded the minds of humans. Adela, exhausted from the cold and hunger and having lost her parents, wiped away tears from her loneliness, but Louise was thrilled.
[little bit more… … little bit more!]
Adela lost her mind and self due to despair and loneliness, and began to ripen like the only fruit that Luis so desperately wanted.
Now Lewis could get the fruit just by stretching out his hand. All you had to do was put the ripe fruit in your mouth and swallow it.
But was my greed too much?
Lewis’s plans were ruined by one being.
[…] … It’s too late.]
Silver Wind Aden, a legendary hunter and Adella’s grandfather.
[I know. You are not just a monster, but even though you have advanced knowledge, your greed… … To those who are more precious to me than anything else… … I have committed something that cannot be undone.]
At the end of Aden’s words, a silver wind blew. And it was all over. With a bright light, Lewis was trapped in the seal stone without knowing what had happened.
A bowl that is perfect for you.
The ripe fruit was missed just one step ahead.
Slurp-
Lewis carefully swept Adela’s image in the crystal ball with his pale, long fingers as if it were a treasure.
Then, he put his face close to the crystal ball and whispered in a peaceful voice, like a lullaby sung to a child.
“Never this time… … “I won’t miss you.”
