"I’ve been ready."

Zorn nodded slightly, then stood up and said,

"Then next... we’ll go after Red Horse, the ’Golem Witch,’ first."

The Sequence strength of Silver Horse, the "Holy Healing Warrior," was not low either.

But he had already been located by the Evil Spirit Divine Mage, Francis, using the Great Prophecy Technique.

During this period, Francis, the Evil Spirit Divine Mage who frequently operated in the Old Town District, had been quite active.

Even if capturing the Golem Witch caused a commotion and alerted the Holy Healing Knight,

it would still be easy to find him.

On the other hand, if they tried to capture the Holy Healing Warrior first, the Golem Witch would be much harder to find if she was alerted and went into hiding.

Under the cover of night, the three of them silently crept toward the location of Red Horse, the Golem Witch Zansi Dolly.

From his conversation with Bishop Teresa at Adolf Monastery, Zorn had learned that while the Golem Witch, Zansi Dolly, also hailed from High Mountain, she was a defector from another witch coven.

However, that coven was on the verge of dying out, and as for Zansi Dolly, no one had been pursuing her for a long time.

「The Black Nightingale Club」

This was a more upscale area within the Old Town District’s red-light district.

Even in the Old Town District, there was a demand for high-end services.

On the fourth floor, in a deserted, dark, and spacious room overlooking the street,

a group of lifelike humanoid stone sculptures were arranged in various bizarre and twisted poses.

Their clothing, types, hairstyles, hats, and so on were all different.

In the red-light district, there were always troublemakers.

Some of the more relentless customers had already become part of the collection of stone sculptures.

Draped in a sheer red gauze robe, the Golem Witch, Zansi Dolly, pushed open the door to the room.

Her eyes, as nimble as a nightingale’s, swept over the statues in the darkness before she slowly walked among them.

Recently, the number of "incidents" occurring in Ogrande City had been increasing.

The clientele in the red-light district had also been affected.

The impact on her business was one thing.

The real trouble was that her Sequence Level had stagnated lately.

In particular, she’d heard that Alvin, the Doomsday Shadow Stab of the Old Town District, seemed to have latched onto a big shot and was on a path to going legit.

Most critically, that Alvin had actually broken through to Level Four recently.

She had been at Level 4 Peak for a long time.

Hearing that even that lazy good-for-nothing had advanced to Level Four

couldn’t help but make her a little anxious.

She had tried to break through a few days ago, but not only did she fail, she even suffered a considerable injury.

The increasingly unstable tide in Ogrande City gave her a faint sense of foreboding.

She looked out through the glass at the bustling Ogrande City.

Zansi frowned slightly.

She couldn’t help but raise her hand to touch the mirror-like surface before her.

’Not good!’

The next moment, her expression changed drastically, and she rapidly retreated.

But it was too late.

CRACK~ SNAP~

Reality shattered like a mirror.

The crisp sound of shattering glass radiated rapidly from the window’s position.

Seeing the magnificent mirror-like power about to pull her into the Mirror World,

the Golem Witch, Zansi, leaped violently toward the pile of stone statues to her side.

Three humanoid statues quickly merged and fused into a [Stone Gate] leading to the outside world.

The Stone Gate. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This was the Golem Witch’s powerful method for traversing terrain and escaping from various strange and forbidden spatial abilities.

But just as the Golem Witch, Zansi, was about to enter the Stone Gate...

CRACK... CRACK...

...the Stone Gate cracked inch by inch.

Then, with a BANG!, it exploded.

Her escape thwarted, the Golem Witch, Zansi, fell directly into the Mirror World.

"Ms. Zansi, good evening!"

Twirling a short knife, Alvin, the Doomsday Shadow Stab, walked out from behind a statue in the Mirror World, greeting her with a smile.

"A year ago, I wanted to buy that young maiden of yours, but you refused."

"Tonight, I’m going to enjoy that young maiden of yours for free."

"Oh, and in our Master’s words, being able to get something from someone for free is a glorious thing!"

’Master?’

The words of Alvin, the Doomsday Shadow Stab, made the Golem Witch Zansi’s heart sink to rock bottom, and the expression on her face became as rigid as a statue.

This Doomsday Shadow Stab, Alvin, was not weak; he had even broken through to Level Four a short time ago.

’The master of a guy like this... one can only imagine how terrifying he must be.’

"Are you going to kneel obediently and accept our Master’s baptism, or will you beg our Master to grant you the baptism after we’ve broken your legs?"

Another voice rang out from the side.

The Level Four rank, and that pervasive Evil Spirit aura...

...made the Golem Witch Zansi’s neck so stiff she could barely turn it.

’The Evil Spirit Divine Mage, the one who has plunged Ogrande City into a panic over the Evil Spirit Calamity.’

’He... and Alvin serve the same Master?’

’Then how terrifying must this "Master" be.’

Suppressing the fear surging within her,

the Golem Witch, Zansi, looked at the burly man standing near the window not far away.

She managed to force a smile onto her face.

’Could this... be the Master?’

"Make your move! She’s just stalling for time, trying to break the seal I placed on her Witchcraft!"

As Zorn’s voice fell,

Francis and Alvin, who had also been secretly preparing, attacked simultaneously.

Within the Mirror World Layer, a great battle erupted.

At this moment, the Mirror World was reinforced by Zorn’s Spiritual Realm.

Its inherent strength was not something an ordinary Tier Four BOSS could break through.

What’s more, Zorn had also sealed her Stone Sculpture Gate Ability, making it even more impossible for her to escape.

With Zorn standing guard, any escape attempt she made would be instantly interrupted by him.

Today,

the Golem Witch, Zansi, would either kneel here or die here.

However, what Zorn hadn’t expected was that...

...the Golem Witch, Zansi, seemed to be injured, and not lightly.

Even when she transformed into a powerful Golem, she was still suppressed by their combined assault.

A two-on-one fight was already an advantage, and with the Golem Witch being injured, the situation quickly became clear.

Zorn didn’t even have to make a move.

A dozen or so minutes later,

the combat-oriented Golem Witch was utterly defeated by the combined forces of Francis and Alvin.

If their primary goal hadn’t been to subdue her, the Golem Witch would have died several times over.

The Evil Spirit Authority, enhanced by the Spiritual Realm, descended deep into the Golem Witch’s soul and Sequence will.

After a thorough beating, the Golem Witch’s will to resist was no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.

But she was a BOSS Sequence, after all.

Under the enhancement of the Spiritual Realm, and after five or six "baptisms,"

the Golem Witch knelt piously before Zorn.

"Greetings, great Holy Witch Dominator," she said, trembling with reverence.

Zorn slowly extended his palm.

He mobilized the Life Force from some unlucky, slumbering Level 5 Shadow Blood Race member to heal the Golem Witch’s injuries.

A few minutes later, the critically wounded Golem Witch had already recovered to her peak condition.

Even her injured Spiritual core and Sequence had been repaired by the powerful Life Force Zorn had channeled.

"Thank you for the healing, Master,"

the Golem Witch, Zansi, said gratefully.

"Acclimate yourself. In a little while... there’s another tough fight ahead."

"The Holy Healing Warrior?"

The Golem Witch, Zansi, had already guessed as much.

"Yes."

In terms of strength and abilities, the Golem Witch was a bit stronger than the Holy Healing Warrior to begin with.

Now that the Golem Witch had been subdued,

the Holy Healing Warrior, who was merely a bit tougher and more durable, was nothing more than fish on the chopping block.

Soon, in the depths of the night,

from the depths of the mirror image symmetrical to reality, came the furious roars, bellows, and charging cries of a certain unlucky Knight.

At the end of his charge, the Knight ultimately knelt and declared his allegiance.

On this quiet, yet unquiet night,

Zorn had silently completed the unification of the Old Town District’s Sanma Mafia.
