I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies

Claire was stunned. She had thought about the benefits of freedom.

But I never thought about why I was so obsessed with this kind of freedom.

"So, according to you, we magicians are essentially products of our environment? I don't agree."

Nanoha sighed, "That's the world's fault. You mages are too powerful. If your power is comparable to ours, then what I said is the truth."

"Because you are so powerful, you can act arbitrarily and unleash your strength wantonly. The strong decide the fate of the weak, and the weak can only struggle... One person can rival an entire nation, even the entire world."

Claire laughed and said, "It seems we've come full circle. Look, there's an incredibly powerful plunderer right now, and he doesn't care what you think. His will permeates every aspect of history, and he can suppress the entire world with his own strength."

"Now we see that guy has ruined our peaceful life. No one can do anything about him. Even the gods have chosen to stand by and watch."

At this moment, Fate, who had been silent before, suddenly said sadly, "But, this man, he will never be happy."

"…Why do you say that?"

Fate said, "The person who thinks he is the savior of the world imposes his will on others. The happiness he gets in this situation is twisted. In the end, he will wake up and realize that climbing to the top is just a dream..."

"It sounds like you know this guy very well. I've been wondering if you have any secrets."

Fate was a little flustered when he heard this. He hesitated for a long time, then seemed to vent his anger and said, "I know that guy."

"Oh?"

The two looked at each other. Claire didn't expect that just a casual probing question would lead to such an unexpected result.

Fate spoke about her mother with a sad face, which made Nanoha feel very uncomfortable.

Then there was the matter of that man Hemer.

"Are you the result of his experiment?"

Fate said, "On the surface, he wanted to conduct a resurrection experiment, but in reality, he wanted to create a new human being that would satisfy his own desires. But he failed."

"Neither God nor even fate can control human will. So he finally realized that I would not support him wholeheartedly."

"So he kicked me out. Perhaps because I was an experiment he personally cultivated, he gave me the strength to protect myself in this chaotic world."

"That man is an absolute lunatic. If he can't be stopped, the world will truly end."

Claire nodded. "Just destroy the old world and create a new one? He's quite creative. I heard the gods in mythology did the same thing, creating a great flood."

"I always feel that you agree with him. No, we must stop him!" Nanoha's soul of justice burned.

"I don't agree. I respect anyone who acts according to their own will. But this guy will definitely catch those guys hiding in the mountains sooner or later."

Claire continued, "I think he wants to defeat them one by one, waiting until all the major forces have gathered most of the survivors before taking action. He will become my enemy sooner or later."

The four of them walked and stopped, and finally arrived at the edge of the Herus Mountains half a month later.

The mountains here are still so majestic.

The towering mountain is covered with magic arrays.

When Claire and the others went there, there was nothing there—only the earth dragon.

"Go to the Elf Village first, and then ask for the location of the Arctic Sanctuary."

Just when they were about to take action, an elf girl had been waiting for them for a long time on the road leading up the mountain.

"Are you Liana?" Claire still remembered her.

An elf girl holding a longbow and wearing a green cloak, she is Fulilian's best friend.

There was a hint of solemnity in her light green eyes. "Please follow me. The Elf Queen has been waiting for a long time."

Claire and her companions looked at each other, nodded, and followed Liana through the lush forests.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the ancient bluestone road. The air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and flowers.

The few of them moved very quickly and arrived at the center of the elf village in less than an hour.

The elf village today was very different from the one Claire had seen before. It was filled with fortresses made of huge stones, covered with defensive formations.

"It seems like you guys are not having an easy time either." Claire said softly.

Liana said, "The Elven God gave us a decree, saying that something bad has happened in the world. Powerful resentment has polluted people's minds and driven them mad."

"The gods say that the world is about to be destroyed, so let us prepare in advance."

Claire casually glanced around the fortress before her eyes stopped at a spot where the corpse of a ghoul lay.

Liana noticed the looks from Claire and the others and explained, "Yes, just as you imagined, even though we live deep in the mountains, isolated from the world, we were found by this monster."

"It seems they don't rely on sight or smell to find their enemies, but rather on mental fluctuations."

"If a person faints, then they might be able to escape. A fainted person's mental fluctuations are very low, and even if they are close to animals, they will not be interested in them."

So that's why, maybe this is why Amy survived.

"Hey, can your village take in human children?" Claire patted Amy's thin shoulder.

Liana squatted down, touched Amy's head, and said with pity, "Of course."

"In this world today, the distinction between elves and humans has long since disappeared. We are all living beings in the same boat. Leave this child to our village."

Seeing Fate's worried expression, he comforted her, "It's okay. We still have the Elven God. Not to mention that there are many gods living in seclusion in the Arctic Sanctuary. That monster won't dare to come here."

Claire breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, she now had fewer concerns.

"Do you know the Southern Continent?"

Liana said suddenly.

"of course I know."

This world is also made up of planets, not a world where the earth is round and the sky is flat.

Any magician with a little ability and intelligence can glimpse the reality of this world through some daily physical laws.

Therefore, the planet also has north and south poles.

In the northern hemisphere, there are several countries in the mid-latitudes, from left to right: Carlisle, Harlan, Catland, and in the far north, Lagnia and the Northern Theocracy on the right.

And in the southern hemisphere, there was the Sfanian Empire.

Here comes the point. Next to Sfania, there is a continent of orcs, which are the sub-humans who were squeezed out back then.

In principle, elves are also subhumans, but because the elven goddess is in the extremely cold sanctuary of Lagnia, the elven village is also here.
