After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

However, it didn't last long.

Although the witch clan belongs to the demon clan, they are actually closer to humans physiologically, and are even weaker than humans.

In exchange, they mastered countless strange and bizarre techniques, curses, etc.

As the most outstanding witch among them, it is not surprising that Villian has mastered some skills that can bring herself back to life.

If time is too tight and intelligence collection is insufficient, these messy problems will arise.

Villian held her face with her hands, an expression full of regret.

"What a shame! I was expecting to see the frightened expression of the legendary strongest hero."

"I'm willing to accept the loss, there's no need to panic."

On the battlefield, Aize showed no mercy in his attempt to kill Violet, but failed.

When it is the opponent's turn, of course he will come to take your life.

When killing others, you must also be prepared to be killed yourself. At least this is what Aize has always believed and done.

So, he is unusually calm now.

However, there was still one thing that made him feel unhappy.

"Come to think of it, the strongest hero is talking about me? This... cough cough cough cough - even if it's disgusting, it's not like this."

If I were the strongest, how could I have gotten to this point now?

Villian's eyes widened in surprise at these words.

"Hmm? How can that be ironic? All thirteen leaders, including me, think so, you know?"

"……real?"

Villian picked up a cookie and put it in her mouth, saying seriously:

"Of course it's true. He wins every battle, even the Battle of Gerlos. Other heroes can't do that, right?"

Gerlos, the fortress city in the north.

About a year ago, the orc chieftain, one of the thirteen leaders, led his army to attack this place, but was hit head-on by the team led by Aze despite having a five-fold advantage in troop numbers.

In this battle, the elite of the Orcs were completely defeated, and the chieftain fled in panic. As one of the largest groups of demons, the Orcs never recovered from this defeat and never invaded human territory again.

This is also the first large-scale battle since Aize came to this world.

However, the original goal was to wipe out the enemy completely, but the enemy's boss escaped, so Aize was not willing to mention it.

By the way, the reason why the orc chieftain was able to escape was because Leia was too radical and made a mistake.

It was a blessing in disguise, as Ai was spared a bloody storm.

Otherwise, the mistake of letting the demon leader escape would be enough for Leah to vent her anger and commit suicide.

Of course, Miss Witch didn't know what was going on. At this moment, she was gloating and continued:

"Well, anyway, I haven't seen that big, smelly guy who called himself the chief since then. It's said that he was so scared that he became insane and incontinent, and couldn't leave his room for several months. Haha, it still makes me laugh when I think about it now~"

Aize imagined the scene... Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore. There’s no need to stuff dirty things into his mind before he dies.

"Well, after that incident, it's basically become a consensus that you're the most difficult hero to deal with."

Villian chuckled as she picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and continued:

"Some even refer to your Goddess Blade team as 'Brave Aize and His Three Weaknesses.' What do you think, as someone involved?"

"…I don't think much of it, it's just a rumor."

Aize closed his eyes and shook his head.

In fact, it is just the opposite. There are so many ideas that once you start pouring out your complaints, there is no way to stop.

The person opposite is an enemy. He is going to die anyway. Aize doesn't want the other party to get any information from him before he dies.

"It's boring~"

Villian pouted in boredom, then after a moment's thought, she sat up straight and asked in a voice that had suddenly deepened:

"Well, I wonder if the brave Aize would be interested in discussing the experience of the battle on the Anlin Plains? You tortured me quite badly."

Chapter 9: The Witch Lady's Helplessness

Thinking back on the past week's experiences, Villian felt a headache and wanted to vomit.

It’s not because we lost the battle, but because the process was too torturous.

Although the witches are physically weak, they can easily create extremely powerful puppets, familiars and other creatures to fight for them.

Coupled with the absurdly strong magical firepower of the witch, the formation constructed by the witch is almost indestructible. Humans usually need several times the number of troops to engage in a brutal meat grinder battle to win.

However, Aize overturned Villian's cognition.

You like using bulky puppets, right?

You can't fight without forming a formation, right?

Then let me show you what it means to pull a TMD!

He organized a force composed of pure knights, broke them into small groups, and took advantage of the highly mobile and open terrain of the Anlin Plain to repeatedly strike back and break away, making Villian miserable.

Chase?

It’s so funny, I can’t catch up at all.

If they get tired of chasing and their formation breaks up, they will be ambushed and suffer heavy losses.

Guard?

Then Aize will take the initiative to attack, attacking here and there day and night, and you won't even be able to sleep well.

Divide troops to encircle?

Just waiting for you. Once the scattered witches are unable to take advantage of their firepower, Aze will seize the opportunity to eat them up here and eliminate them there.

After several days of torture, the weak witches were exhausted one by one. They couldn't get a good rest, their magic power couldn't be replenished, and they couldn't even maintain their puppets.

And Aze seized this opportunity and attacked in one go, directly carrying Villian away.

The most infuriating thing is that Aize's move was a typical overt conspiracy.

Villian knew what Aize was thinking.

Aize also knew that Villian knew what Aize was thinking.

Villian knew that Aize knew that Villian knew what Aize was thinking.

But Violet was helpless.

All her attempts to fight back seemed futile and ridiculous due to Aize's extremely precise micro-manipulation, and she could only follow behind him and eat his exhaust gas the whole time.

"Do you know how I felt at that time?"

Speaking of this, Villian's expression gradually darkened, her hands trembled slightly, and she even crushed a cookie she had just picked up in her palm.

"After the night raid on the fifth day and the burning of the magic stone storage, I've been thinking, if I ever catch the enemy commander, what should I do with him?"

"He's tortured me so badly, you can't just kill him casually, right? He needs to be kept alive, put on a collar, raised like a puppy, and trained well - just kidding."

"Uh……"

When she said this, Villian's face turned dark, and there was no trace of smile in her eyes.

Absolutely no joke.

With a chill down his spine, Aize looked around the room to see if there was anything he could use to commit suicide, hoping to make himself look respectable as soon as possible.

Of course, there is no such thing.

It's possible to break the vase and use the fragments to cut your wrists, but it's too slow and you'll easily be nursed back.

Villian looked at Aize's wandering gaze, then looked at the cookie crumbs on her hands, as if she had thought of something interesting.

She raised her hand towards Aize.

"Come on, lick it clean~"

"……ha?"

"It's just a reward for you. It's nothing special. Come on, be good~"

"..."

Aize had a stomachache.

The conversation was going in the wrong direction and it was dangerous to continue like this, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Things haven't gone so smoothly in Anlin Plains. I... ahem—, I'm just betting that you'll reveal your flaws before I do."

This is also true.

Relying on mobility to torment the witch is theoretically feasible, but there are several huge risks.

First of all, there is no margin for error.

If they make mistakes in positioning and are entangled or surrounded by the enemy, then this team that has given up many elements for mobility will be vulnerable and will inevitably be wiped out.

Secondly, flying a kite is not only tormenting the other party, but also tormenting yourself.

The knights were no less tired than the witches, and could only rely on their slight advantage of relatively better physical strength to create a time difference.

"If you hold on for another two days without giving in, my team will collapse first."

Aize's stability during the process was only on the surface. In fact, he was walking on a tightrope the whole time, and he would be crushed to pieces if he was not careful.

Villian thought for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders, finally withdrew her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped it gently.

"I can't tell you're gambling... But speaking of this, I'd like to ask you a few more questions. What exactly do you mean by a flaw?"

"The magic power is exhausted and the formation is out of sync."

Once the magic power is exhausted, the puppets and familiars cannot be maintained, and large-scale spell bombardments will be difficult to continue.

The disjointed formation could not restrict Aize's movements, allowing him to go directly towards Villian without hindrance.

However, the witch smiled lightly and shook her head:

"Really? I'm afraid it's more than that?"

Aize's brows twitched slightly, and he instantly understood what the other party meant, and quickly pretended to be stupid.

"what do you mean?"

"Yesterday, when you launched your attack, my team was indeed torn apart. However, if reinforcements had arrived in time, you would not have won. But they didn't. Instead, they betrayed me and just watched me get killed by you."

Halfway through her words, Villian cut another piece of cake and put it in her mouth. A smile once again filled her face, and there was no trace of anger or displeasure on her face.

It's like talking about other people.

"It's not surprising that those guys betrayed me. What's strange is why you knew about this."

Although Villian is a great witch, she does not belong to any traditional witch family, but suddenly appeared out of nowhere a few years ago.

Relying on her immense strength, she easily killed the former great witch, suppressed all those who opposed her, and consolidated her position.

Hold steady for now.

These subordinates who were afraid of her strength and dared not act rashly would betray her or even stab her in the back without hesitation once they found an opportunity. Villian herself was aware of this.

However, as a hero, Aize, who stands on the side of humans, should not know this.

"Not only are you aware of our internal conflicts, you've even incorporated them into your own plans. Haha, can you tell me why?"

"No, I don't know, it's just a coincidence."

"Coincidence? Tsk tsk, would the renowned warrior Aize rely on such coincidences? Could it be that one of your friends on the inside is passing on some information to you?"

Villian's gaze was fixed on Aize, who remained calm on the surface, but his heart was slowly beginning to be in turmoil.

Unfortunately, she was right.

In the past two years, in addition to planning tactics and gaining support, Aize's greatest achievement was the establishment of an intelligence network targeting the demons.

After all, the so-called demons are even more fragmented and have countless conflicts than humans. Among them, there are always people who hate their own people more than they hate humans. As long as these people are found, it is not difficult to establish a cooperative relationship.
