You think you're worthy of saving the world?

The remaining witches continued their aggressive press: "Sister Yan Hong, if you can't produce any evidence, we'll pin the blame for the elf's escape on you!"

"What do you want?" The Crimson Witch raised an eyebrow with amusement.

"..."

The witch, who was pressuring the issue, swallowed hard and said, "Either you capture those two elves back, that would be best. Otherwise—"

"otherwise?"

"Then we'll have to ask Sister Yan Hong to step down from her current position, and we'll have to re-elect the leader of Gray Castle!"

"idiot……"

The Crimson Witch smiled upon hearing this.

She knew the true nature of these witches all too well.

They crave power and worship strength.

They believe that they are special and that everything else is unimportant.

"Crimson Witch" knows this very well, because she herself is such a typical witch.

If you hold a vote, everyone will only ever choose themselves, making it impossible to elect a leader.

In the previous election, it was the "Lighthouse Witch" who cast her vote for the "Crimson Witch," which led to her being elected as the leader.

But this was originally because the "Crimson Witch" was stronger than the other witches; otherwise, they would have definitely overturned the table and refused to acknowledge the election results.

"There's no need to use the elf's escape from prison as an excuse. If anyone wants to replace me, they can try killing me."

The Crimson Witch glanced disdainfully at the witches surrounding the round table: "If you want it, you'll have to come and get it yourselves. You all know that rule."

The moment these words were spoken, the air in the hall fell silent.

Although the witches remained silent, they began to stir with desire.

Nobody wants to be the first to act, but if someone makes the first move—

"Ah! No! We can't fight in front of the round table!"

Seeing this, the "Lantern Witch" quickly tried to persuade her, "Crimson, that's right! Stop provoking us! We've been best friends for so many years!"

Just then, the door to the conference hall was kicked open violently.

"I haven't even arrived yet, and you're already having a meeting? If you're tired of living, I'll send you all to a happy death!"

The "wicked witch" walked in, laughing and scolding as she walked in, her heels exceeding 15cm in height.

"You're the damned one, aren't you? You vile creature. How dare you bring a man here? Is your brain filled with semen?"

The women in the hall cursed back while focusing their attention on the "wicked witch" behind them.

Yuri quietly followed the red-haired girl into the witches' space.

He saw that the witches he had been carefully serving these past two days were now dressed neatly and meticulously, gathered around a huge black round table.

The boy thought to himself, "I almost couldn't recognize them after they put on their clothes."

To use witches as ritual offerings for the "Demon King's Egg," one must first regard them as the most important thing in one's heart...

If Yuri goes through all the trouble of starting the ritual, and accidentally sacrifices his beloved Aunt Rosa, then he'll be a complete clown.

"no problem."

In Yuri's heart, the witches were already his sisters, his beloved friends and family.

Now that the warm family is on the verge of breaking apart, he, as the younger brother, must step forward to protect this family that is falling apart!

"You wicked woman, how did you bring a man here?"

"He's my subordinate, it's none of your business. Besides, he's just a brat, if you say another word I'll cripple you."

"Huh? If you can do it, give it a try, little girl!"

While the "wicked witch" was arguing with the other witches, Yuri followed behind with her head down.

Although witches are allowed to bring their familiars to meetings, no one usually does so, especially since Yuri is the only male among them.

"Hey, young man! It's nice to see you again!"

A beautiful woman with long, straight hair, dressed in white and known as the "Lantern Witch," waved happily at him, but Yuri ignored her.

The "wicked witch" sat down in her seat, while Yuri stood behind her.

The Crimson Witch rested her chin on her hand, lazily raising her blue eyes: "Isn't this the brat who killed Gabrielle? He's still alive."

Although she never participated in the rituals, she had heard that the boy who killed Gabrielle had been made to push her buttocks in the ritual room these past two days.

Surprisingly, the witches didn't break it... That's pretty good...

"Lady Crimson, the matter of Gabriel is over. Under the tutelage of the Wicked Lord, I have deeply reflected on my past actions."

Hearing him say that, "Crimson Witch" curled the corners of her lips.

"So, you called me here today just to see your stupid faces?" the "wicked witch" asked impatiently.

"May I ask what happened?" Yuri translated for her.

"Let me explain to the wicked and kind-hearted Yuri!" The "Lantern Witch" raised her hand high and began to recount the elf's escape from prison.

After listening to her description, Yuri wondered: Did Tia and Cynthia escape?

Yuri had been pondering for the past few days whether or not to rescue them, but it seemed there was no need for her to struggle with the decision anymore.

The "Lantern Witch" continued, "Everyone's arguing fiercely about the elves escaping, and they're even taking it out on Crimson. You wicked girl, what's your opinion?"

"What's it to me?" The red-haired girl said with a cheerful expression. "Why don't we just have a fight? The one who survives can decide."

How about you two, like rutting monkeys, jump onto the table and wag your butts for a duel? Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!

The "wicked witch" laughed and clapped.

As expected, she couldn't be relied on. The "Lantern Witch" then looked at the black-haired boy.

Yuri stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Did Tia and Cynthia really escape from prison on their own?"

"What do you mean by that?" the "Lantern Witch" asked curiously.

"Are you suggesting there's a traitor among Graycastle's retinue? Hey, brat!" a witch shouted angrily.

At this moment, the short-haired purple witch got up from her seat, went around behind Yuri, and hugged him affectionately.

"Don't be so fierce, let's hear what he has to say. This child is surprisingly smart and capable, and he behaved very well in the ritual room."

Yuri provided excellent service and acted cleverly in the ritual room, leaving a good impression on the witches.

So after she said that, the witches all fell silent, except for the "wicked witch"—

Her lips twitched at the purple-haired witch's intimate gesture, but she managed to suppress her rage.

"Do you believe that someone from your family released the elf?" the purple-haired witch continued.

"No, witch's familiars can't do that, after all, even the images recorded by the barrier can be altered..."

After a moment's thought, Yuri glanced at the "wicked witch".

No problem, she shouldn't allow anyone to hurt me.

Yuri mustered her courage and said, "I believe that someone among the witches let the elves go."

After all, you are all omnipotent witches; it's not impossible for you to alter the guards' memories or deceive the barrier to release the prisoner.

The "Crimson Witch" pinched her chin and narrowed her eyes.

The conference hall erupted in unprecedented noise.

"You actually suspect us?! You're just a subordinate!"

“I just think this is the most likely scenario,” Yuri said.

"Hmph... So you suspect there's a mole among us based solely on possibility?"

"Who would do something that doesn't bring them any benefit?"

"Exactly, why must we let the core reactor go?"

"Since you put it that way, then let's find the real culprit."

"That's right, if you can't find it, you're not leaving this room today!"

The "wicked witch" said coldly, "...Who among you dares to touch him?"

"Wait, wait! Everyone, stop arguing!" The "Lantern Witch" kept urging everyone to calm down.

“I have evidence that without the witch’s help, Tia and Cynthia could not have escaped this gray fortress, which is covered with a net of barriers.”

After Yuri said that, the witches focused their attention on him again.

The Crimson Witch revealed a bewitching smile: "Hehe... then tell me."

But be careful, if you dare to spout nonsense at the witch's meeting... you won't be as lucky as you were that night.

"Oh, Yan Hong, why are you scaring me? Little Yuri is clearly speaking up for you, isn't she?" The "Lantern Witch" pouted.

The purple-haired witch wrapped her arms around the boy's neck and encouraged him, "Why don't you share any good ideas you have with your older sisters?"

Countless pairs of eyes, overflowing with demonic allure, were fixed on Yuri.

“Normally, if you want to escape from here, you should kidnap a member of the family and have her act as your guide.”

Wandering aimlessly through an unfamiliar castle like a headless fly is far too risky.

"Hmph, maybe those two elves were just too stupid," a witch rolled her eyes. "But they just happened to be very lucky."

"Let's assume it's like this. Let's assume they were very lucky and managed to evade the witch and her retinue all the way to the outside of Gray Castle."

Yuri paused for a moment and then said, "A new problem has arisen."

"What's the problem?" the "Evil Witch" and the "Lighthouse Witch" asked in unison.

The Crimson Witch frowned slightly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes: "...So that's how it is?"

Then she looked up at Yuri, her expression showing a hint of admiration.

Yuri explained, "Apart from the underground prison, none of the barriers within Graycastle recorded any images of the elves escaping."
