Chapter 16 Troublesome Woman

After Roland's flash magic overwhelmed the darkness released by Kalia again, the huge number of rats in front of him that had almost filled the entire sewer had all turned into rat-shaped biscuits with holes.

Kalia regained her composure for the time being. Except that she was still shaking all over and holding tightly to the staff that was a head taller than her, she was basically back to normal.

At least the deep darkness that had just spread in the sewer had disappeared.

All that remained was the flash of light from Roland's fingertips and the dead rats lit up by the flash.

Looking at the dead rats in front of him, Roland was not in a good mood.

Because among the dead rats on the ground, there were only a few that were identified by the system as [Plague Degraded Beasts] that were mission targets, and were counted into the system mission indicators.

But there is some good news. The characteristics of the mice that were successfully identified were particularly obvious.

It's the kind of mutation that can be recognized at a glance.

His body was covered with pus-filled sores, large flakes of skin had fallen off, and his eyeballs were bulging out, almost falling out.

And without exception, they are much larger than ordinary mice and are about the same size as ordinary house cats.

Compared with these real mutant rats in front of him, the rat he killed at home seemed too innocent and harmless.

Why are they both identified as [Plague Degraded Beasts] by the system, but the one at home last night is so different from these ones in the sewer?
Just as Roland was about to step forward to collect the corpses of those special rats, Kalia, who was standing behind him, reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't, don't leave me alone..."

Listening to Kalia's trembling tone, Roland only found it amusing. "What? Are you scared now? Do you want me to get you out of the sewer? Don't worry about not finding your way back. When you exit the alley, go straight to the right until you reach the intersection, then turn right and walk to the end, and you'll find my home."

"No!" Kalia pulled Roland's sleeve and moved closer to him, not stopping until the two of them were almost touching.

"I told you, don't leave me alone!"

"Isn't it rude to leave a girl in a city she's completely unfamiliar with?"

Turning his head to look at Kalia who had completely hugged his arms, Roland felt troubled and shook his hands to try to push the beautiful girl away.

He had to continuously cast Flash spells with one hand, and the other hand was held by Kalia. What would he do if he encountered danger? He couldn't even free his hands to draw his weapon.

"Woooooo~~~"

Seeing Kalia pursing her lips and about to cry, Roland sighed softly: "Forget it, I won't take you with me next time if something like this happens."

Forget it, let’s deal with it when we encounter danger. Anyway, with Kalia’s combat ability in the dark, the flash magic I released might affect her performance.

And in terms of direct combat power alone, Kalia is definitely stronger than Roland today.

It was the image this guy had always shown that made him subconsciously ignore that the person standing in front of him was a witch.

He is a natural born spellcaster whose strength far exceeds that of magicians of the same rank once his abilities are awakened, even without any systematic training.

"We agreed that if you encounter danger... no, if you encounter anyone who is unwilling to reveal their identity, you can just kill them directly."

"!!!"

Kalia looked at Roland in horror: "This is illegal! Besides, killing someone without any explanation is too much!"

Roland smiled speechlessly. At this moment, he really hoped that Kalia was the evil witch the system described.

So he patiently explained, "The city hall had already carried out sewer maintenance work a while ago. It's unlikely that the people here at this time are maintenance personnel."

"And think about these rats. They're staying in the sewer under such obviously abnormal circumstances, and they're unwilling to reveal their identities. Who do you think they're most likely to be?"

"He's causing trouble!" Kalia wasn't stupid, she just lacked some common sense. After Roland's reminder, she quickly became eager to try.

"In other words, the people we'll meet later are basically guaranteed to be members of the Chaos Brotherhood, right?"

Roland was choked for a moment: "You are a little too extreme. It is also possible that he is a homeless person living in the sewer, or a fugitive. There are many such people in Riskan." Looking at Kalia's reaction just now, Roland finally believed some of the system's words.

This girl may have an unimaginable violent gene hidden in her heart.

"Oh." Kalia's mood was noticeably down. "Hey, I thought I could take this opportunity to develop more of my innate spell skills."

Roland was about to say something when he heard the system notification tone again.

【Ding! 】

Your presence and companionship, as well as the many ways you helped the Dire Witch Kalia, have caused a twist in her fate, which may lead to some uncontrollable changes in her destiny.

[Meet the conditions for opening a special mission, and the special main mission will be opened - Persuading others to be kind.]

Even the most heinous witch has the opportunity to repent. As the chosen savior, you also have such a broad mind.

[Host, please give the Nightmare Witch Kalia proper guidance and admonitions, so that she can get back on the right path.]

Roland was stunned at first, then quickly asked himself, "Back on the right path? She's not straying off the right path yet. How can I guide her back on the right path? Does this count as completing the mission?"

【As the savior, please guide people to do good. 】

"How can she teach others to be good if she hasn't done anything bad? Does running away from the bill count? Although I did that myself."

[Host, please cleanse the filth in the Nightmare Witch's heart and make her abandon evil and turn to good.]

"What about the mission reward? There should be a reward, right?"

[Once the mission is completed, the host will obtain the Heart of the World and become the true controller of this world.]

"So what does it mean to abandon evil and do good?"

[Abandon your evil side, acknowledge your past mistakes, and atone for them. Please explore the specific details on your own.]

[Progress of abandoning evil and turning to good (1/10000)]

"???"

Roland was careless. He actually forgot that the system's brain wasn't working very well.

He looked at Kalia beside him, and dangerous thoughts arose in his mind.

Or... should we first think about leading this guy astray?

"W-Why are you looking at me suddenly?"

Noticing Roland's malicious look, Kalia shrank her neck and looked at him with a little caution.

"Nothing... Let's go to the restaurant and settle the bill after we go out. It's not easy to run a business."

"Hey, why?"

"Just think of it as a good deed." Roland looked at Kalia with complicated eyes.

He was thinking about a question.

If... Kalia never develops towards the scenario of the evil witch described by the system, then will his mission never be completed?

Sighing softly, Roland shook his head slightly.

Never mind, I don't want this reward. Having more witches who are always kind is more valuable than one witch who has committed an unforgivable crime and then repented.
