The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 232

It wasn’t the Pope’s voice…

This voice, like the Grim Worm’s and the system’s, appeared directly in her mind…

Ciel quickly turned around and looked at the spot where the Pope had been standing.

The iron armor still stood in place, but the twisted patterns and molten iron on it were being rapidly corroded, revealing the pure white armor with gilded patterns inside.

A brand new iron-armored person, about two and a half meters tall, gradually formed from molten metal beside Ciel.

A familiar aura from the Other Side continuously surged within the body of the platinum iron armor and began to gradually expand.

What’s going on?!

Ciel quickly cut off 【Spiritual Summoning】. The blood ritual array she had created before her rapidly dissipated.

Logically, after deactivating 【Spiritual Summoning】, the door to the Other Side and the things that came out of the door should also dissipate.

But the blood ritual array before Ciel had disappeared, and the platinum and white armor still stood not far away, just watching Ciel with its golden, glowing eyes.

I didn’t summon it?

Why can it communicate with me?

Is it…

Ciel instantly remembered something.

In the East Suburbs, there was a blood ritual array drawn with her blood, and the sacrifices were the “Crown Guards” from the Holy See of the Church of the God of Order…

The thing that would be attracted by the “Crown Guard” sacrifices would also be an Other Side creature from the “Crown Guard” side…

It must be it… But why would it come directly to find her? What did it mean by what it said?

“What do you mean?”

Ciel tried to communicate with it, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“You deliberately lured me away… and then tried to invade my fortress again…”

The ethereal voice continued to echo in Ciel’s mind.

“You have become as despicable as those flesh and blood creatures… Sadhana…”

Sadhana? Is it Her again? Who exactly is She?

A hint of confusion appeared in Ciel’s emotions. This confusion was quickly captured by the white armor before her.

“No… you are not Her…”

The armor in the confined space below slowly knelt down halfway, lowering its body, and finally managed to be at eye level with Ciel.

This Other Side creature just watched Ciel like this. Ciel at this moment felt like she was on pins and needles, not daring to move a muscle.

Its fortress…

Was the ancient castle recorded in the Other Side node hers?

Indeed… from this Other Side creature’s perspective, the people of the Church of the God of Order were constantly disturbing its peace and even cut away its parts. This had continued for centuries. No matter how many of them it killed, there would still be errors.

“What is your purpose, exactly…”

The voice of the armor echoed in Ciel’s mind again.

“This is just an accident,”

Ciel composed herself and tried to communicate, “I have no intention of trespassing on your territory. I just want to use this node to have an enemy get lost inside.”

“You still want to… throw garbage at me…”

The voice echoing in Ciel’s mind accurately dissected Ciel’s words.

Ciel: “…”

It seemed that if she continued talking like this, the other party would definitely think she was not a good person.

Fortunately, the other party, like the Grim Worm and the divine servant, was communicable… This was good news.

After hesitating for a moment, Ciel slowly raised her left hand. Her wound hadn’t healed yet, and there was still some uncongealed blood on it.

“Then… would you like some?”

Ciel asked tentatively.

Ciel’s words seemed to make the armor before her sink into silence.

It stared at the wound in Ciel’s hand. After standing there for a long time, it slowly raised its hand and covered Ciel’s palm with its large hand.

“Don’t do it again…”

The cold iron armor brushed over Ciel’s palm, wiping away the blood on her hand.

The blood of Ciel that adhered to its armor quickly soaked into the cracks of the armor. A subtle buzzing sound echoed within the Other Side creature’s body in the armor, as if it was rejoicing.

Is it really that good?

And it also seemed to have no desire to attack her, just like the Grim Worm… It didn’t even take advantage of this moment to take more of her blood.

Ciel was certain that 【Charm】 was working.

Seeing that the other party didn’t seem to plan on causing her trouble, Ciel relaxed a little. After thinking for a moment, she said, “Your Excellency, why did you mistake me for ‘Sadhana’?”

The Other Side creature, having received some of Ciel’s blood, seemed to be in a better mood. Its voice echoed in Ciel’s mind, without the initial aggressiveness.

“The aura is somewhat similar… but not exactly the same.”

It replied.

Another ambiguous answer…

Ciel decided to take this opportunity to ask more questions.

“Is it possible that Your Excellency does not get along with the Church of the God of Order? They are transcendents from the same side as you.”

Ciel continued to ask.

“I have no interest in the Church. Furthermore… why would you think they are from the same side as me? They are just a bunch of incurable plunderers…”

Indeed…

The subsequent paths of “Detective” and “Law Officer” might not actually be “Crown Guard”…

But why didn’t they lose control due to the wrong potion?

Clearly, the path adjacent to “Detective” was “Assassin,” and they could switch between each other. But why…

“‘Crown Guard’ is a different path?”

Ciel couldn’t help but ask, “Why can Tier 2 ‘Stealth Hunter’ also switch to the ‘Crown Guard’ path?”

“They are both aspects of rationality and order. Naturally, they can switch between each other…”

The ethereal voice echoed in Ciel’s mind. But quickly, it stopped, and its voice carried a hint of confusion.

“Why… don’t you even know this?”

“You are not…”

Suddenly, the armor before her froze. It seemed to have thought of something and stopped speaking.

“If you would like to have garbage enter, with a small reward, I can help you perform harmless disposal…”

“We will meet again…”

“‘Time-Binder.'”

The platinum armor before her gradually collapsed and dissipated. It turned into fragments and disappeared before Ciel’s eyes, leaving no trace.
