"Is this the sealed witch?"

To be honest, when Duanmuhuai and Sharon walked through the snowy mountains and came to a cave and saw the so-called "witch", Duanmuhuai was speechless. After all, even Duanmu Huai didn't expect such a scene.

What appeared in front of them was a stone statue that looked like a woman. A long sword that did not look like a normal weapon penetrated the chest of the stone statue and nailed it to the wall.

"No...that's it? Is this also called a seal?"

Duanmu Huai walked to the stone statue and looked at the stone statue in front of him carefully. When he first talked about the seal, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, he should put the person in the coffin, and then at least put some runes on it. Something like that... To be honest, what kind of seal is this?

"This can't be just a stone statue... or a stone that looks like a human."

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and knocked on the stone statue in front of him. What's going on with this sword? Will the one who draws the sword become the king? Is this the setting?

Anyway, just pull out the sword and you will know.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai also stretched out his hand and grasped the weird-shaped long sword.

"Click."

To Duanmuhuai's surprise, the sword seemed to have been inserted incorrectly, and he pulled it out gently from the stone statue. The stone statue also slid down the rock wall and collapsed to the ground.

"………………"

Duanmuhuai was shocked when he saw this scene.

No, it's that simple? What can this thing seal? If there's an earthquake, I'm afraid the seal will be lifted directly.

Um?

Wait, this reminds Duanmu Huai of a TV series he watched before. In the village, whoever can draw the sword is the brave man who saves the village. It turns out that all the people who drew the sword in front of him were acting on purpose, and in fact they didn't draw it at all. When the last honest man went to draw the sword, he put his hand on the hilt, and the sword just slipped out...

Could it be that the situation is similar here? You play me?

"Woo————!!"

Just when Duanmuhuai looked confused, he saw the stone statue that had fallen to the ground suddenly jumped up with a roar like a wild beast, and then its right hand turned into a sharp claw and clawed directly at Duanmuhuai. Come over here!

The opponent was very fast, as brave as a cheetah, but Duanmu Huai just glanced at it, stretched out his free left hand, and easily grabbed the wrist of the stone statue. Then he raised his head and stared at the stone statue in front of him...well, it didn't seem to be a stone statue, but more like a petrified person?

"Are you a witch? Can you understand me?"

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

"I have something to ask you. I wonder if you can..."

However, before he finished speaking, Duanmu Huai suddenly grabbed the witch and moved aside. Then he saw a figure passing by her, and then kicked her on the rock wall.

"boom!!"

A huge depression instantly appeared on the hard rock wall under the opponent's attack, but Duanmu Huai obviously didn't care about such a trivial matter. He just stared at the person who suddenly launched the attack and asked.

"Didn't I say that I would be the one to inquire about her? Miss Sharon?"

That's right, the person who suddenly launched the attack was none other than Sharon, who came from the Star Church and had been acting friendly with Duanmu Huai before.

"But you saw it too, didn't you?"

Sharon repositioned herself and stared at the witch caught in Duanmuhuai's hand.

"This demon has completely lost its mind and has no way to answer your questions. Just kill it as we agreed in advance."

"I haven't judged her yet. At least for now, she does not meet the characteristics of an alien. As for whether she is a heretic or a demon, this is a matter for me as a judge to decide."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes were slightly cold. Although the overall goals of both parties are consistent, when it comes to the specific level, it is obvious that neither party will give in. As Duanmu Huai said, the judgment of aliens, heretics and demons is made by oneself as the judge, not by what others say.

Similarly, you do not allow others to object to the judgment you make. As long as the trial court determines that it is one of the three, no matter who defends or opposes it, it will be meaningless to the trial court.

Hmm... The same goes for the Star Church opposite.

From a certain perspective, colleagues are really enemies.

"Is this really okay? Depending on the situation, I will also consider you to be a demon-possessed person who was bewitched by the devil."

"Let's do this to each other."

Duanmuhuai sighed silently.

"Don't think that I don't know what your Star Church wants to do."

Yes, Duanmu Huai knew it very well, because during the previous discussion, Sharon had said that she could give the devil's bounty to herself, but the condition was that the devil's body must be taken away by her - to be honest , the moment she heard this request, Duanmuhuai was already wary of Sharon.

"You said before that only demons can harm and destroy demons. So, how did your Star Church destroy demons?"

Yes, the answer is very simple. After all, there are many radical judges in the Tribunal who like to play this trick of "learning from the barbarians to improve their skills to defeat the barbarians". To be honest, Duanmu Huai knows without guessing that the Starry Church wants to destroy the demons. What to do with your body?

"Based on my standards as a judge, your approach is also heresy."

"But how many sacrifices are necessary to save humanity from the threat of demons."

"I agree with this, but there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Self-righteous self-sacrifice is likely to lead to more serious depravity. Heretics who gradually fall into the abyss of depravity on the grounds of protecting mankind, Don’t tell me that your Starry Church has never seen anything like this.”

Just kidding, there are a lot of people like this in the Tribunal. Duanmuhuai doesn’t believe that the Starry Church’s consciousness can be higher than that of the Tribunal.

"...Then, isn't it the same for you? You were deceived by the devil's rhetoric and thought you could control the devil's power, but your soul was devoured. Such people are among the records of the Star Church There are quite a few.”

"………………"

The two sides looked at each other, and the air became tense, and then Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

"It seems our cooperation is ending here."

"What a pity. I originally thought we would be like-minded partners."

As she spoke, Sharon clenched her fists.

"It seems that only one of you and me can leave here."

"I don't think so, Miss Sharon."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai opened his hand, and at the same time, a loud bell sounded from somewhere.

"clang-----!!"

The next moment, Sharon felt the scenery in front of her suddenly change.

The originally dark and narrow cave suddenly changed. The next moment, what appeared in front of Sharon was a solemn, luxurious and pure white space. The hall, which was full of sacred atmosphere like a great cathedral, appeared in front of me, with golden bells hanging on the tall pillars around it. And Duanmuhuai stood at the top of the steps, staring at Sharon.

On both sides of Duanmuhuai, there are two male lions standing. They look like they are carved from stone, squatting on the stone seat, with a pair of wings spread behind them, and their front paws are on the gold and white. On the shields that complement each other. If the two male lions weren't staring at Sharon eagerly, she might have thought that this was just some kind of sculpture.

But now... Sharon didn't know what to say at all.

"This, what exactly is this...!"

"Come on, Mighty Unicorn."

Following Duanmuhuai's call, Sharon saw a pure white creature covered in gold and silver, with mane and long horns as bright as the sun. It was like a gorgeous creature from a myth appearing out of thin air, blocking her. in front of.

"this…………!"

At first, Sharon thought it might be some kind of demon, but she soon realized that her guess was unfounded. As a devout believer in the Star Church, Sharon could clearly feel the extremely sacred aura coming from the creature in front of her. She had only experienced this feeling in the great church of Star Church, but even then, it was far inferior to what she felt now.

"It is both a rare and famous horse and a missionary of faith. No one should try to get on its back - because that horse already carries the mission given by God."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai looked at Sharon.

"If you stop here, I can let you leave here, Miss Sharon. So, how do you choose?"

"——————!"

Along with Duanmuhuai's voice, Sharon heard another scream, and then, a pure white bird with colorful wings fell from the sky and landed on the stone pillar next to it.

"……………………"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Sharon fell into silence. After a moment, she spoke.

"Star Church will not give up."

"I understand, but I think you should also know that the Inquisition has its own practices."

"...Then, I hope we won't meet again."

After saying this, Sharon jumped back suddenly, then quickly turned away and disappeared into the depths of darkness. Seeing Sharon leaving, Duanmu Huai waved her hand, and then saw the Holy Shield Celestial Lion, the Mighty Unicorn and the Elegant Bird beside her disappearing.

"Fortunately, the other party is not that stubborn, which is a good thing for me."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai lowered his head and looked at the [Evil-Destroying Holy Light] he had just taken out from his hand... Well, if Sharon were any more stubborn, she would be dead.

Of course, this does not mean that this card has no use.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the witch standing behind him, watching him warily.

Well, after seeing the scene just now, it's normal to be wary of yourself.

"……………………"

But what Sharon said makes sense. In any case, the devil's rhetoric is indeed troublesome, and Duanmuhuai himself is not the kind of person who likes to use his brain, not to mention that this is a clone, which means that Duanmuhuai cannot use it like his original body. Shadow's ability copies the opponent's intelligence.

Then, it seems that there is only one way.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at the ancient book at hand. If he remembered correctly, there should be a part in this ancient book that could force the devil to answer questions?

So……………

Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the witch in front of him, who was trembling like a small animal being stared at by a beast.

"Would you like to sign a contract with me?"

Then Duanmu Huai spoke.
