Witch Hunter: Lord of Lust and Sin

Chapter 120: Land of Mystery [Part 13]

"Do I know you?"

Richard asked the woman with golden hair inquisitively.

His question had various meanings, while he genuinely didn’t know who she was. There was still a mysterious nagging feeling in his mind that the woman was someone he knew.

It was the same weird familiarity he felt with Morgana and the other women who had relations with Merlin.

While it was easy to just say that the blondie was someone related to Merlin-

"Maybe?"

She responded with a carefree attitude, unlike Skadi who had an icy pressure about her or Morgana who looked like she was constantly scheming something-

The woman before him had a very warm and welcoming aura.

If Richard had met her in a different situation, he may have thought that she was an angel or something...

"Sus"

Richard didn’t like how the woman answered though.

While he wanted to label her as one of his ancestors’ acquaintances, something inside him was screaming that there was more to her than meets the eye.

This wasn’t their first meeting... he had met her before but Richard can’t really point out where or when.

"Hm... I swear I know you from somewhere..."

Though her appearance was truly "new" to RIchard, there was something about her that felt a little bit too familiar.

It wasn’t like the familiarity from Morgana that was born from the inheritance of Merlin.

The familiarity he felt was something akin to the one he felt with Skadi.

Richard comb through his memories trying to look for a mystic that he had come into contact with and-

"You-"

"Yes?"

"Your the bitch that put me through the wringer right"

Fortunately, Richard had dealt with all the mystics he met in a straightforward way-

They were either killed, enslaved or turned into allies...

Looking through his memories, a mystic that had left a mark on him, whose aura would be unforgettable to him even if they had changed their appearance, gender or race multiple times over-

Such a mystic who would leave such a mark on Richard...

"It’s been less than a year and I already got you in my sights... how lucky~"

Richard commented and without having to order Morgana, his companion and first actual slave had already attacked the golden haired woman.

"To think I’d get to meet you... no wonder Skadi could get a hold of the einherjar... but I don’t recall you being the one in control of them either though- so? Where is SHE?"

Morgana asked Freyja the moment she appeared behind the woman who had expertly evaded the attack that came her way and even threw in some counterattacks.

Of course, such a simple probing attack won’t do much.

Morgana did not even try to dodge Freyja’s attacks which took the form of lasers made of golden light.

"Still as flashy as ever"

Morgana spat while flicking away the lasers that would have disintegrated any other being it touched.

"Back at you, as a legendary mage, can’t you do things with more elegance and class? How many curses was that? 13?"

Freyja shrugged as she dusted her shoulder causing a few black clouds to disperse.

Those curses were enough to cause its targets eternal suffering- if the target of the curse was a normal mystic/mystical being.

Richard watched the two fight from a distance, he maintained the sealing position "hugging skadi from behind".

Unfortunately for Richard, despite being safe from external interferences for now-

"You’ve really fallen Richard"

Skadi commented as she could feel something hard pressing up against her ass.

"Fallen? I think I did worse in some of our past lives though?"

Although he lacked the memories of those lives, Richard knew that his recent predisposition to sex and intense sex drive was born from the combination of two "sex pest bloodlines".

Which meant that even without the bloodline of a Nephilim, Richard was still bound to awaken or at least get influenced by his inheritance from Merlin.

"Well you were quite active- especially at night but now? You’ve truly let yourself go"

Skadi had long calmed down, maybe it was the fact that her beloved was hugging her from the back or maybe it was the fact that he was getting turned on by mere contact with her-

Whatever it was, Skadi had finally relaxed her thoughts and with Richard taking a step back from the battle focused solely on sealing her, Skadi was able to see a good chunk of the battle.

She ignored the battle between Freyja and Morgana and instead turned her attention to the other battles.

The einherjar were getting decimated by the monsters summoned by Cindy who, with the nights she spent with Richard was able to show off powers that she would have never been able to months before.

When she first met Richard, Cindy was careful in her summoning, she prioritized the full summoning of smaller monsters while for combat, partial summons were the main method she utilized the giant monsters and powerful beasts at her disposal.

Now?

The young witch had summoned a large group of giants that were busy dealing with the commanders of the einherjar while the elite monsters that were twice the size of a regular man ran through the lower ranks of einherjar.

Skadi had initially felt pity at seeing the einherjar so weak.

Yes, the einherjar were weak but that was nothing more than a result of their unfortunate fate.

The fall of the Aesir, the domination of the system that managed them and their incarnation into mortal vessels...

If the einherjar were made to incarnate into even one of the witches under Richard, a small group of 100 einherjar and a commander would have been able to hold back the young witch.

Alas, Freyja could only use the pitiful excuses for mystics that she had stolen away from this nation.

Skadi took a quick look at that battlefield and immediately knew the final outcome of the battle.

Since the results of the battle in the sky and on the ground were already set, Skadi tried to look for anything interesting to turn her attention away from Richard’s dick that was still throbbing.

As she did, her senses picked up on two familiar magic signatures.

She would have never noticed it if not for the sudden eruption of power that was quickly masked over.

Yet, those two magic signatures would never be forgotten by Skadi.

"Did you invite those two?"

She asked Richard as her gaze shot towards a distant hill.

Richard who was desperately trying to calm down his little brother reacted to Skadi’s query and turned towards the direction she was staring att and-

"Huh? Who’re they? The old man seems a little bit familiar and so is the woma- no! WHY THE FUCK WOULD I INVITE THAT MURDEROUS YANDERE BITCH?!"

At first, Richard was calm as he saw the unknown old man who was likely, based on his gut feeling of familiarity, someone related to Merlin.

Maybe he was a surviving viking from old age, a comrade of Ragnar maybe?

Richard had no idea how wrong he was but given that he barely recognized Freyja... seeing the old man was not bound to lead to anything.

The woman on the other hand...

Freyja was obviously the woman who had manipulated and played with him before he took on the name Richard Rex.

But all the hate and anger he felt towards her was long gone.

The moment he let go of the memory of Andrea and the damned "string of fate" that bound him and Skadi was cut- he didn’t feel as much murderous intent towards her as he had expected.

The woman who was with the old man on the other hand...

If there was anyone in this world that he both hated and feared it would be her-

The reason he ran to the Philippines...

The reason he was desperately accumulating strength...

All his actions were done because of that woman.

"She’s Scathach isn’t she? Why the fuck would I invite her- no... FUCK! This is an emergency!"

Richard immediately panicked, he didn’t know why the bitch was here but given what she had done to him before...

The fail safes aren’t up yet for fuck sake!

He wanted to make a move while the woman was still oblivious of him knowing about her.

It seems that she was still toying with the old man-

Sorry old timer... if you are really a buddy of Ragnar then I’ll make sure to prepare a suitable grave for you...

If Ragnar could hear the thoughts of Richard right now, he would be rolling in his grave.

Fortunately, Ragnar was completely obliterated from existence, even reincarnation was impossible so he didn’t need to know or hear about the stupid shit that his student was doing.

"So... will you stop the sealing?"

Skadi asked and Richard tightened his hold on her.

"Now now, we’re in a battle Richard~ save that for later~"

Skadi acted all coy and if she could move her body, she would have definitely started grinding her ass against his dick.

Why the fuck am I still having a hard on right now?

Richard cursed as he started weighing his options-

Focus on Scathach or Skadi? Damn it... why can’t this be the world of F*TE?

He cursed internally as he continued his mental debate over how to deal with the situation at hand.
