Nicolas seems slightly scarred from the fight, still dodging frogs and trying to avoid the words on the floor.
“I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW SHE CONTROLLED MY BODY. I SHOULD KILL THE FROG WITCH FIRST, THEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO KILL THIS ONOMATOPOEIA WITCH I’M PRETTY SURE IS WHAT SHE IS.”
“What’s wrong boy. Can’t handle the pressure?” The frog witch says, still unaware that he doesn’t hear a single word she says.
Nicolas moves towards the frog witch, dodging and slicing the frogs. He manages to reach her and is inches before cutting her neck, but then his arm swings up.
This however was what he was planning on. He switches the guillotine blade on his left arm to a scythe blade and has it extend all the way to the other witch, which stabs the witch in the arm.
“AS I EXPECTED!” He swings his arm down to the frog witch who manages to move her head but unfortunately for her, her shoulder gets cut, nearly cutting it off.
“DAMN IT!” She pulls herself out of the blade and holds her arm, unable to move it anymore and bleeding green blood profusely.
The witch behind Nicolas is also bleeding orange blood. Nicolas at first has an expressionless face but that changes to a sinister smile.
“Aw shucks, seems I underestimated you witch, you’re much more durable than I initially thought.”
The frog witch summons multiple tadpoles towards him but he effortlessly cuts them while still twisting the scythe holding the other witch, the witch unable to bear the pain.
Nicolas hears a thump from above but ignores it.
Roth is still fighting the other witch, the area is covered in multiple large nails, with the witch having no injuries the pain is visible on her face.
“Deveria ter desistido.”
[Translation: Shoulda gave up.]
“I-if you’re going to kill me, please spare my children. You can take them, maybe even raise them to be beneficial to you. PLEASE!” The witch begs, knowing she has no chance against Roth.
“......No.”
“W-what?”
“No” was the first English word she ever learned to stay without help from a book. She says this with a smile that shows her apathy for the witch’s situation or her children.
“Eu vou matar-te. Ent?o apresente o seu corpo e o das crian?as ao meu amigo.”
[Translation: I'm going to kill you. Then present yours and the children's bodies to my friend.]
“W-wait, please. I don’t understand what you’re saying but I can tell that you want to kill my children.”
Roth just continues to smile and summons a giant nail into her hand. She stabs the nail into the ground, hits the nail, breaks the floor, and sends the witch and her children a floor below along with Roth. After reaching the floor below, the floor breaks again from the impact of the chunks below hitting the floor which is quite old. Nicolas seems to have the witches in chains. They try to struggle but it only tightens around their arms and waist. He takes out his earbuds.
“D-damn it, you stupid man, always so cruel.”
Nicolas doesn’t respond, “Damn, ringing goes crazy, I should really take Dad’s advice and stop listening to music on full blast.”
The witches hear an approaching sound from above and soon enough, the other witch is crushed by the debris that comes crashing down.
“DAMN IT!” The frog witch is annoyed by what has happened. Nicolas sees Roth and the other witch as well as the children.
“IS THAT THE DOLOL WITCH AND HER DOLLS?”
“No.”
“OH. T-t-t-t-t.” Nicolas stops talking for a moment before taking a deep breath. Roth turns to see the witch trying to escape and she has multiple needles hit the ground to prevent them from escaping.
“Then what witch is it?” Nicolas says after stuttering.
“Assumo uma bruxa do som. Parece que ela pode mexer com o som!” She screams.
[Translation: I assume a sound witch. It seems that she can mess with sound.]
“Alright then, I have a frog witch. I think she hates men since she’s looking at me funny.”

“I DO! WASN'T THAT OBVIOUS FROM WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING.”
“I haven’t been listening to you.”
“W-WHAT! So, I’ve just been talking to someone ignoring me?”
“Yes.”
Nicolas points towards the frog witch and says, “Guillotine Neck,” this causes a guillotine device to attach to the witch’s neck.
She tries to break it off but is unable to. Nicolas stands in front of her, looking down at her as if she’s some animal on a leash.
“Confess your crimes and I’ll let you live.”
“I DID NO WRONG, ALL THE MEN I KILLED DESERVED IT!”
The blade starts to slowly go down to her neck. “W-what! WHAT IS IT STILL GOING DOWN! I’VE ONLY KILLED MEN THAT DESERVED IT! RAPIST, MURDERS, TYPICAL BAD PEOPLE!”
The blade continues to go down and Nicolas remains silent.
“I HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING WRONG! IF IT’S ABOUT ATTACKING YOU, IT WAS IN SELF-DEFENCE OKAY! PLEASE!”
“I said. Confess your crimes or die.”
The blade continues to get closer to her neck and she tries to use her magic but for some reason, it doesn’t work.
“WHY ISN’T MY MAGIC WORKING!” She starts crying in fear, knowing her death is approaching soon.
“PLEASE DON’T KILL ME, PLEASE!”
Roth, however, is doing something far more sadistic. The sound witch is being held down by multiple nails piercing her body. She cries as she sees Roth stepping on one of her children’s heads.
“PLEASE STOP, I’LL DO ANYTHING IF YOU SPARE MY CHILDREN!”
Roth smiles and keeps pressing her foot on the child’s head. The child starts to bleed and cries profusely, calling out for his mother. The witch tries to escape but it is futile as she watches her child’s head get crushed under Roth’s feet.
“Ew. N?o pensei que iria derramar tanto.”
[Translation: Ew. Didn't think it would spill that much.]
The witch cries, looking at her now-dead child. The frog witch is also still crying, the blade centimeters near her neck.
“PLEASE, WHATEVER I DID WRONG I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY, I’M GUILTY.” She yells, pleading.
“You don’t even know what you did wrong.”
“PLEASE! I beg for forgiveness, please!”
” Forgiveness is between you and God; I just make the meeting happen.”
The guillotine blade goes back up, then slams down, cutting the witch’s head off at the same time Roth kills the last child.
He turns to see Roth hammering the sound of the witch's head in, delivering a powerful strike each time, breaking her face with each strike, smiling the whole process.
“CAN YOU HURRY UP? I NEED TO WRITE THE DOCUMENTS UP AND SEND THEM TO MY DAD.”
Roth gives a thumbs up and finishes off the witch.
“Bring the witches to the room.”
“Compreendido.”
[Translation: Understood.]
Nicolas walks out of the warehouse and puts his earbuds back into his ears.
The perspective switches to Nicolas and Roth, now having paper in their hand and walking down a hallway toward a golden door.
He opens the door to reveal Othniel on the other side, relaxing in his chair. He opens his eyes to see the 2 dropping the paper in front of his desk.
“Oh, you found more watches.” He takes the papers and reads the names on the papers of the ones they killed.
“Nice. You did good.”
“I know I did.”
“Hmph, alright. The bodies in the room?”
Roth gives a thumbs up.
“Alright, you are dismissed.” Roth and Nicolas walk out of the room and Nicolas walks past a window to see Bawl walking across the street. He doesn’t pay attention to him and just keeps walking.
–Present Day–
Both Bawl and Alexander walk into the portal and Eonni is on the roof watching them.
“Why are they going in there? Bawl isn’t a raider, is he?”
They both teleport to a giant tunnel with torches going down the hall and statues of beetles lined up at the wall.
“Hmph, it seems these, these.” Alexander seems startled by the statues.
“You, okay?”
Cough, “They’re not alive, they’re not alive, don’t worry.” Bawl taps him on the shoulder, trying to get his attention.
“Huh? Yeah, of course, I’m good. The savior of the universe is always in great shape.”
The human-sized beetle statues start to move towards the duo. Bawl gets in a fighting stance, but Alexander seems a bit nervous. Bawl rushes towards the stone monsters and punches at them, breaking them with a single punch. He is quickly punished for his carelessness and beetles surround him, but they are cut by Alexander’s blade.
“Damn fools, you dare turn your back against me.” He still seems nervous but pushes through it.
“I’ll show you the power of my Turbo Excalibur!” He cuts through all the beetles and deals with them all swiftly. The beetles don’t even appear to be a challenge for him. Bawl stands back, watching him deal with the big bugs.
“Hahahaha, can’t keep up can you!” He continues to cleanly cut through the beetles until a giant ant runs head-first into him.
“Awk!” He is sent flying and hits his back against a wall. The ant appears to be quite fast and is already approaching him. He summons a shield of pure energy, and the ant hits the shield, being reflected back with immense force.
“Can’t handle my Turbo Shield you spawns of Satan.”
The ant picks itself back up and blindly runs towards Alexander again. Bawl seems to be handling the beetles that attempt to interfere with Alexander’s fight. The ant once again is reflected back and Alexander cuts through the ant.
“Victory.”
“You did it.” A giant ant jumps up and tries attacking Alexander behind his back, however, a large saw cuts it in half before it can harm him.
“Huh? Who the hell?”
It turns out to be Eonni who has also entered the dungeon.
