Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary

Chapter 22: Corrupter Hero Moreina



In front of Christel, on the other side of the stone and wooden bridge that crossed the river, there was a huge group of Fallen and Fallen shamans, it was a red stain of these red-skinned hellish creatures. Christel is standing on a side pillar of the bridge and next to her is Jaina with her bow in her hand and an arrow on the string pointing down and with a serious look. 'How cute she looks with her concentrated gaze'

There are also other female archers around her with small bows and more female archers on the wall, but with very large bows. Further on, on the bridge, is Kashya accompanied by Charsi and Alysha and other Rogue spear warriors.

When Christel saw the Fallen group approaching, she thought that the fight would start and she was somewhat excited and wanted to let her feelings out. But who would have thought that they would start arguing with the enemy general. Who, by the way, is the enemy general.

"Moreina! What are you doing here?" Kashya had a look of anger, but also sadness.

"Nyajaja ha...What's wrong Kashya, don't you love me anymore? I'm not welcome to the brotherhood anymore?"

"I would never love what you have become, you have killed many sisters... if you take one more step, I will kill you myself!" Kashya clenched her spear in her fists tightly.

"Moreina... Kashya..."

"Silence Charsi, I don't want to talk to a dirty blacksmith..."

The enemy general Moreina shouted at Charsi with a hint of disgust, Charsi only showed a pitiful smile, but she saw the bow on Moreina's back and the daggers at her waist, they are weapons that she herself has forged, Charsi knows that Moreina loves those weapons and even in corruption, she still carries them.

"Speaking of sisters, I haven't killed any of them, they have just chosen my side, the side of the winner. I want to invite all the Rogue sisters to follow me and have eternal life, staying here will only result in their being destroyed by my Master and their souls dissipated."

"Don't use your silly hypnotic spells here Moreina..."

With a flash of light, Akara, who was at the door with her priestesses, cast a spell to dispel something in the air. Christel could see how wisps of smoke dissipated and a slight cry of horror faded away.

"Mother, long time no see..."

"Moreina, since you have a new teacher I can no longer fill the shoes of a mother for you..." Akara said with a sad tone.

"Why so sad? Shouldn't we celebrate that the four sisters are reunited? By the way, where is Lakrii? Why hasn't she come to receive me, her love rival? Why don't you talk?"

'Lakrii? Who is she? She doesn't appear in Diablo 2 or Diablo 3. Is she a character from Diablo IV?' Christel thought upon hearing the unfamiliar name.

"Don't tell me that little lapdog has died, Kashya, Nyajajaja! And she had promised to marry you."

"You are no one to talk about her, Moreina!!!" Kashya roared angrily, Lakrii is also a wound in her heart, but she is alive and has promised to bring her back.

"Mother?..."

"Mom?" Moreina suddenly fixed her gaze on the tall girl with a spear standing next to Kashya, from whom the word Mom came out.

"Moreina, don't you dare use your dirty magic..."

*flash*

*sooops*

*Kirr Curk curk*

In less than a hundredth of a second, Akara released a golden light in the direction of the fan-shaped bridge. Shadow crows appeared near Alysha with this light, and Kashya eliminated them in an instant with her spear. Everything happened so fast that, although Christel could follow it with her eyes, she definitely could not take any action in the face of it.

'Akara and Kashya have a very deep understanding of teamwork and you know Moreina's tricks, but this level of combat is worthy of being the leaders of the Rogue Camp.'

"Tell me little girl, how old are you this year?"

"I'm not a girl! I have . . ."

"Alysha! Don't answer her, and you Moreina, she has nothing to do with you"

"Nyajajajaja, So your name is Alysha, it seems that before I left 20 years ago I not only took something very important from your mother, but also left her a big gift. Little girl let me tell you..."

*Thud*

*Ssshhht* x3

The sound of a bow snapping and three arrows interrupted the enemy general Moreina's speech. Only one arrow was aimed at her, but the other two landed a distance away from her location beside Moreina.

Moreina -Flash- easily avoided the arrow, but to her surprise, the ground froze in an instant. Many of the Fallens around were left with their legs frozen, as well as some corrupted rogues who accompanied Moreina as guards.

"I'm sorry Miss Moreina for interrupting your conversation, but, now I'm feeling a little upset and I want to vent my anger on your little red-skinned subordinates if you don't mind..."

*Thud*

*Ssshhhht* x3

And after speaking, Christel shot three more arrows with the widest cone, freezing more land in front of the bridge. The Fallen, like creatures with an intellect only slightly superior to dogs, seeing themselves attacked, charged forward and some Fallen shamans also began to condense fireballs and others to try to resurrect the Fallen who died in these six arrows.

"Nice shot Christel, ha!" Charsi seeing the Fallen coming charged without concern with her huge two-handed hammer and Kashya somehow felt good about this, she was glad that Christel interrupted what Moreina was going to say.

The priestesses alongside Akara cast counter-magic spells to block the enemy Fallen Shamans and the archers atop the tower shot at them, passing through them like fish in a river. Moreina, seeing the rain of arrows, moved away with the Corrupted Rogues.

"Stupid people! I don't know how they destroyed the altar of corruption in the cave. If it weren't for that, this camp would have fallen today."

Moreina raised her bow The Raven's Wing and prepared to attack that girl who interrupted her, but she dodged again when a spear of light fell where she was standing.

"Moreina, I think you've become weaker, following that Master has only slowed you down..."

"Tsss, retreat!" Moreina ordered her entourage to step back, the spears fired by Kashya were no joke. Moreina cannot generate new Rogues, each one is a valuable asset so all these years she has been capturing women and seducing Rogue sisters to join her camp. Moreina also knows that something happened between Lakrii and Kashya for the latter to abandon the camp and found a base in the Dark Forest, she has received news that she has joined the -Blood Countess-.

Moreina, despite now being corrupted, hates that woman, using the blood of women to retain her youth is something she cannot tolerate, so she had planned to destroy her after capturing Camp Rogue, with the help of a corrupted Akara, Kashya and Charsi, recovering Lakrii should be easy, now he wouldn't mind sharing his wife Kashya with his little sister Lakrii.

But who would have thought that a few days ago, the altar built in the deep mine a kilometer away from the camp would be destroyed, and from the appearance of this little girl, from afar, one could feel a great vitality and mysterious power. 'Is she the heroes that the Master mentioned? Did she destroy the altar in the abandoned mine?'

Suddenly, Moreina felt a magic enveloping her and when she tried to unleash it, she found herself in an empty space. Moreina was standing in a swamp with her boots submerged in water, in front of her was a small mound of earth with a deformed withered tree, and between some branches of that creepy tree, there was a girl on her knees captured crying.

"Nooo!!!"

With a shout, Moreina unleashed magic and quickly discovered what kind of spell it was and who cast it.

"Little girl, don't you know that it's rude to use analysis magic on a third party's body without permission?"

After unleashing the magic, Moreina tried to forget what she saw as she yelled at the girl standing on the bridge.

""It's not possible, but Akara used it on me..." Christel turned back to look at Akara. And everyone, except those who were fighting, also had a strange look. The priestesses beside Akara also looked at Akara.

"Cough... cough... Christel, don't listen to her, I used the medical version. Also, don't worry, Moreina is the enemy, spy on her with analysis as much as you want..."

Everyone looked at Christel and the pentagram built in her hand, unlike other people who build their pentagrams with mana, it is normally blue, with some witches, shamans, necromancers, etc. changing color, but Christel has a golden pentagram, like the one used by the order of paladins. The apprentice priestess girls were also there, and they also saw the first analysis spell cast by Christel, and if at that time it was a blue mana, but now it is golden. They also hoped to see the beautiful pink flower again.

Christel didn't care whether or not to use the analysis spell on other people, but she was shocked when she looked at Moreina with the spell, to confirm, she cast the spell towards the five Corrupted Rogue companions, checking five times that what she saw was correct.

"Hey, girl, for having divine energy your actions aren't that courageous... It's wrong to spy on people's hearts, especially other women..."

"Sister Moreina, you say that you have not killed any sisters of the Blind Eye Brotherhood, right?"

'Sister?'xN

"Of course not, they have all decided to follow me because they know it is the right thing to do, sisters are unique and cannot be replaced, it is my duty to protect them" Moreina responded with a hint of pride.

"Hm. That's good…" Christel looked at Moreina and her analysis spell. 'I know she's not lying, that's good to know. ' The entire Blind Eye Brotherhood group is a far superior resource at the legendary level. Any Elite level Rogue has the ability to fight and even defeat demons on the level of Rias and Sona when they're just humans. Not to mention Moreina in front of her, although now corrupted, it seems she can fight Kashya and Akara together even though Kashya commented that she had become weak. It must be remembered that Moreina along with two others, fought and defeated Diablo, one of the Big Three, with a power beyond the Demon King.

"Girl, you keep using the analysis spell on me..." Moreina already looks a little upset now and it shows on her face.

"Ha ha ha, sorry, sorry sister Moreina... Forget it, let's continue the fight, but let me remind you to fight seriously or you will lose." Christel removed the analysis spell and the pentagram vanished.

"Girl, you underestimate me..."

*POW*

"Pray! Pray! PRAY!"

"UhAA..."

Again, without letting Moreina finish speaking, a sound of impact of something heavy hit the ground, then a man's scream and then the sound of a knife cutting everything.

When everyone turned to look towards the sound, they saw a humanoid tornado spinning around and chopping up Fallens like tomatoes in a blender.

'The first hero and leader of the group of Outlanders who pursue the Dark Wanderer, The Warrior has arrived'

"Now now now NOW UAAAH..."

'Although I want him to teach me the fighting method of the barbarian warriors and his mastery of all weapons, I will definitely ignore the shouting skill tree...'

"...Who is this weird guy?" Moreina had black stripes on her face.

"Let me introduce you to Moreina, he is the first of many pursuers of your Master."

"Come on sisters, fight the infernal creatures, let's cleanse these wastelands of evil" Kashya shouted in signal and was the first to jump into the ring.

"Haa..." xN, many female Rogues followed Kashya.

Moreina, seeing herself attacked from the front and rear, knew that she could not face four high-level people at once, so she chose to retreat. Kashya, seeing this, wanted to pursue her, but was stopped by a signal from Akara.

"Little Christel, why do you let Moreina escape..." Akara and Christel, side by side, watched the Rebel Rogues walk away, while Moreina locked gazes with Christel.

"What did you see when you used the analysis spell."

"Sister Akara, you haven't tried it before and now?"

Akara had never tried to use an identification spell on the Corrupted Rogues before, let alone Moreina, and though now seeing Christel do it, perhaps because of her example, cough, she tried, but saw nothing but darkness.

"I saw Sister Moreina and the other Rogues crying tears of blood, with a look of pain and a black hole in their chest. I don't know how, but it seems like someone is controlling her and if that's the case, maybe we can get them back."

"But is that possible?" Akara thought, she could never have imagined that Moreina and the others' souls were in pain even now. It gave her a deep pain in her heart.

"If there's a way to put someone to sleep, there's a way to wake them up, you just have to find the method. Besides, Moreina is right, all the Rogue Sisters are very valuable assets and very important companions, Moreina won't give up on taking them all, so we can't give up either."

"Yes, if there is a way, I will help you."

Recovering all the sisters of the Sightless Eye Brotherhood is a dream Akara never thought would come true. But now she has hope.
