Chapter 2 2

Witch Hunt

Chapter Two- The Stone of Life

I have made many dolls and moved five, but not one of them can speak. Maybe I still lack the magic I have ...

So he researched nails in the vast library of the temple and found in a thick Sorcery Book about the Soul Stone which is located in the underground cavern of Misty Cave. It is also called the Stone of Life because of its net power to raise the dead. That's all, it's only one and can only be used once.

Maybe that's the answer to making a doll that can talk like a human

After Baal had breakfast, I immediately left the temple and went straight to Misty Cave. A few monsters are also guarding the cavern so I might be able to fight back in time.

I was just at the entrance of the cave when I unexpectedly met the young man I also saw yesterday ... I guess his name is Lance if I remember correctly.

"Charm ?! What are you doing here?" Maybe Neto's face is shocked when he sees me again and again.

"You're the one I should ask that." I told him. I looked at him intently. Isn't he afraid of the scattered wild creatures here that hate mortals?

"Ah eh ... Hiding. At the same time, I'm looking for something." he replied but his attention was on my back.

"All right, I'm in a hurry. Let's meet again!" he kept silent and then ran into the cave. I still plan to stop him because it is dangerous for a mortal like him to wander here alone.

I turned in the direction the young man had looked earlier and saw in the distance the oncoming soldiers of Vavelia Castle! I was immediately worried and hurriedly entered the cave.

I then wondered if that man was a criminal and why he was hiding from these soldiers.

...

I didn't delay those men anymore and continued my mission to find the Soul Stone. I went straight to the hole where the entrance of the deep cavern was and there was a rope placed down the hole. I kept wondering where the rope came from ... or maybe it's been here for a long time.

I just used the rope to get down, and when I stepped inside the deep cavern, I continued to walk.

"AHHHH!"

I was stunned for a moment when I heard the cry of a creature in danger. And I immediately thought of the one I met earlier.

LANCE!

I walked a little faster ... until I came across Lance lying prostrate and those around him ... mortals too? There are three mortals here and they are all dressed in black from head to toe and they are also wearing black masks.

"Boss! Someone got in here again." said the one on the far left. That is why the attention of their leader in the middle turned to me.

"A woman? What are you doing here sister? Are you lost?" mixed with teasing he said. I want to break the face of this arrogant person.

"What did you do to him?" my casual question while pointing to the young man lying on the ground who had lost consciousness.

"Ahh ... that? We just taught him a lesson because he tried to steal something from us. Tsk tsk." the one on the right said that he was close to Lance.

Huh? I said is this man a thief.

"C-Charm?" I heard Lance's sudden silence while his eyes were half open. It didn't take long either because he also lost consciousness immediately.

"Can I take this creature?" I let their leader at once point in Lance's direction.

"Sure. We're done beating there too, and we'll sell Soul Stone mats." sabi naman nya.

I immediately turned my attention to what he said. How did he get such a sacred thing ??? To my knowledge, is it guarded by a guardian animal?

I don't have the money to buy the Soul Stone from them, which I'm sure they just stole too, so I think I have to take it from them forcibly.

"I have the Soul Stone." I first tried to get through the conversation.

"Ohh ... are you also interested in Soul Stone? Pwes, you have to go through us first!" the leader said arrogantly.

"Easy ... It's just a girl." kantyaw naman nung kasama nya sa kanan.

Since Lance is asleep, I will not hesitate to use my power. I have prepared myself for battle.

I raised my hand, and then a light came out and looked like a wand. After a few seconds, I was holding it.

"Hey! A witch! Our luck!" gladly says the one on the left.

"We already have a lot of money to sell at Soul Stone, plus we'll catch a witch! Oh, all of a sudden we're neto boss!" said the one on the right.

"CATCH HIM!" their leader shouted.

That was a signal for the two alipores to rush, each holding a dagger on the side. Even before they could get close to me, I said that I would use the spell.

"Fire wall!"

It immediately created a large circle of blazing fire around and whoever was hit within 4 meters would literally fly in the air for a few seconds.

And then, my two opponents flew and fell to the ground at the same time while their clothes were on fire. They rolled on the ground to put out the fire.

I turned my attention to their leader who backed away a little when I looked at him sharply.

"H-he-he-that's the Soul Stone you're asking for, just don't kill us please." "begging he said as he handed me the small colored bag he was holding.

I quickly grabbed it from him and cast a spell to put out the fire that was still wrapping around the clothes of his two companions.

"Get out of here before I burn you alive here." I say emphatically that there is a mixed threat as well. When the two got up, they ran away and disappeared from my sight. The wand I was holding after the fight also disappeared from my hand.

I looked at the contents of the bag given to me by the mortal earlier. Finally! I already have the Soul Stone!

Wait, I really need to go back to Lance. I first hid the bag in the sling bag I was wearing and snatched a vial of healing potion that I had made myself for the battles I would face.

I immediately approached him who was still lying unconscious and lifted his head slightly then I gave him the potion.

*Cough cough*

Lance regained consciousness immediately and was shocked to see me open his orange eyes.

"Charm? T-wait, what are you doing here?" he asked in astonishment as he slowly lifted himself.

"I should be the one asking you that." I said again.

It seems like it happened earlier ...

"Wait, where are those three men! I'll teach them a lesson!" When he stood up, he picked up the sword that he probably fell earlier when he lost consciousness. I just noticed it now.

"They have left." I just said. I've beaten them before. ⁇

"Daddy Charm! Let's leave this dangerous place." he said holding my right hand at the same time and pulled me when he started running.

*Dugdug ... Dugdug ... *

Suddenly I felt my heart beating fast along with the heat on my face. I keep wondering why.

What do you want to do with your life?
