章 142: Chapter 142: The Witch

"Ehehehe... Where are you two going in such a hurry?" a mocking voice was heard from behind.

Aengus and Bella's steps faltered. They stopped in a deserted alleyway and turned around to face the source of the voice.

A demonic woman stood before them, her hideous face marred by deep scars. A grotesque third eye, dark and unblinking, sat ominously on her forehead.

"So, two half-breeds, eh? Not bad. You two will do just fine as compensation for the damage you caused," she cackled, her voice dripping with malice.

Bella remained calm despite the sight of the Archdemon blocking their path.

"She's a witch," Bella remarked, her tone casual. "They're known for their curse powers and dark arts."

Aengus, already aware thanks to his Appraisal ability, nodded, his eyes narrowing. He conjured Death Claws, dark tendrils of energy forming into sharp, menacing shapes around his hands, and unleashed his Darkness King's Authority.
