I Become Master of Danger Zones as Incubus With Mastery In Genetic-Chapter 784 - 204
As the elites of Hex Duchy started to push the weaker Witches back, Hildegard observed with some anticipation.
'They are getting close.' The weaker Witches did not lead them to a trap, though, the Duke and his entourage might claim otherwise.
After all, the Witches would be leading them to the stronger Witches, who possess greater number than the elites, while having A-rank strength.
When the weaker Witches stepped a prepared line, Hildegard smiled.
Time to deliver their grievance, in the most violent way possible!
-x-
Duke Phorus narrowed his eyes as the group of Witches seemingly disappearing as they passed a certain part of the cave.
His eyes then widened as more Witches emerged, though, not surprising him greatly as he expected some form of trap. What surprised him was the fact his 'plaything' and the strongest Witch he captured, coming out.
Her beautiful star-shaped pupil is hard to miss, after all.
"So, the whore finally show herself." The Duke exclaimed, eying the Witches, especially her breast. She wore a simple black dress, one that showed a large portion of her cleavage.
The Witch seem to sense his gaze and scowled in return.
"My, so the Duke finally found us. Truly, it is not surprising for you to take this long. You even need to call some help, like you did before." The Witches spat out.
Duke Phorus snorted before letting his Mana flow through his entire body. The only exception being his short sword, as the weapon could not conduct Mana.
Then again, it's the perfect weapon against Mana User, including Witches.
Sure enough, the Witch looked warily at his sword, likely knowing what it could do. Though, a wary look was the only thing she gave before taking out a staff.
Duke Phorus narrowed his eyes.
'So, using the staff to counter my blade. Smart, but do you think someone who practice a little of melee combat could do anything to me?'
The Duke was a touch insulted, at how the Witch likely planning on holding him back with the staff, when before, getting in close range was more than enough to take her down.
Not speaking another word, the Duke charged at the Witch. Similarly, his Guardian, General Lazil, and his subordinates did the same.
As the soldiers charged at the Witches, they cast Barrier, but this time managing to hold the onslaught of slashes, even when the anti-mana sword of General Lazil strike.
Though, the place that was slashed by the general's sword flickered, as a small gash formed on the Mana Barrier.
"Overwhelm them! Their number might be greater, but we are stronger!" General Lazil yelled, as he continued swinging his blade, weakening the Mana Barrier. Soon enough, the Mana Barrier were weakened to the point another slash from one of the Guardian was enough to shatter it.
As the Mana Barrier was shattered, the Witches jump back, creating more Mana Barrier with some throwing in Mana Bolt in the brief moment.
The Guardian took the lead and created a wall of light, blocking the Mana Bolt before dropping it to continue their assault on the newly formed Mana Barrier.
Meanwhile, between the Witch and Duke Phorus, they fought viciously. Staff changed against sword, before the longer weapon was dropped on the Duke's head.
The blonde managed to step back, avoiding a hit on his cranium but not before attempting a thrust.
The Witch dodged at the last second, twisting her body before bringing her staff in front of her, deflecting a potentially lethal blow from the Duke.
Duke Phorus frowned, 'She is way better in close combat than before.' He thought as his eyes focused on the blonde woman.

For the Witch to improve so much, she likely train in preparation for this confrontation. Not a surprise now he thought of it, as it is the most logical action when they believe they will be pursued in the future.
As the Duke thought of what to do next, the Witch calmly walk, keeping her back away from him and the rest of his elites, though subtle glances to the other Witches were also given from time to time.
'Looks like I have to kill her.' The man thought with a little bit of sorrow. And he was looking forward to torture the Witch, turning her into his bitch, a mere hole for him to fuck.
Unfortunately, the Witch likely become an A-rank during her time in Hexun Cavern. So, the chances of him capturing her, is near zero.
'Time to end this,' even though the other party is an A-ranker like him, the Duke had been an A-ranker way longer, plus, he could train with other A-rankers, while the Witch could not do the same.
A guttural growl escaped the man's lips as he leap forward, using the momentum to crash onto the Witch.
The Witch step back, casting a stronger Mana Barrier and putting her staff in front of her, to block the attack. Or try to, as the sword easily break the Mana Barrier, causing it to crash against her staff.
As the sword hit her staff, the momentum pushed her back, almost sending her flying, which she managed to stop herself from doing. Albeit barely.
The Duke did not intent on letting her recover, however, and resumed striking her. His strike become faster, as the man tried to hit her unprotected body.
The Witch gritted her teeth, barely blocking the first few strike, before the sixth one almost nicked her arm. While her arm remained intact, it did get a cut on her, albeit a shallow one.
"Ready to die, Witch?" the Duke said condescendingly, believing his triumph is near. At the same time, his elites slowly pushed the other Witches, forcing their back on literal walls.
Yet, for some reason, the Witch did not have a look of fear, but instead, contempt?
-x-
Hildegard gritted her teeth. Fighting close combat with a swordsman is a foolish thing to do, but the Duke's weapon could defend the man against her Spells.
So, the only way to fight against the man is by using her staff, though it led to her being beaten in a one-sided combat.
However, even though she was being pushed around, the blonde Witch knew they will win, for the elites of Hex Duchy and Ravus Kingdom had step on the trap they prepared for them.
Soon, her, and the Witches inside the cavern glowed, as their true strength were unleashed, all of them now having A-rank strength.
