Chapter 6: The Witch of Inya Kone Village Part 3 The sky above Inya Kone Village turned dark. The moon disappeared behind endless clouds. The witch stood above the forest, surrounded by countless spirits. They were not natural wandering spirits. They were souls twisted by curses. Their emotions had been distorted. Fear. Anger. Hatred. All of them became fuel for the witch's power. The guardian spirit looked at Adrian. "Be careful..." "She has been preparing this moment for a long time." The witch laughed. "You understand now." "This village." "The people." "The guardian spirit." "Everything has become part of my ritual." She opened both hands. The entire forest shook. The earth cracked. Dark roots emerged from the ground. The wind became violent. Fire appeared in the sky. Water gathered from the air. The witch was controlling multiple forces at the same time. Adrian looked around. She was not only powerful. She was experienced. Every attack connected with another. Every spell created another opportunity. A normal supernatural being would have already fallen. But Adrian remained calm. The Eternal Void Sword floated beside him. The witch smiled. "Still confident?" Then— The entire sky was filled with her clones. Hundreds. Thousands. Every clone raised their hand. A rain of magic descended. Adrian moved. Void Traverse Art. His figure disappeared repeatedly. Fire exploded where he had stood. Wind blades cut through the trees. Earth pillars rose from below. The battlefield became impossible to approach. The witch controlled everything. But then... Adrian stopped. He closed his eyes. The past memories inside him continued awakening. Not completely. Not instantly. But enough. The understanding of countless techniques. The understanding of sword intent. The understanding of creation. A single thought appeared. A sword should not follow the world. The world should follow the sword. Adrian opened his eyes. The Eternal Void Sword moved. A new technique formed. "Originless Sword Domain." The moment the technique activated... The sky became silent. The countless illusions stopped. The witch's expression changed. Her connection with her clones weakened. "What did you do?" Adrian stood in the center of the sword domain. "My sword does not chase illusions." "It cuts the source." The sword intent spread. Every false image began disappearing. One by one. The real witch was revealed. For the first time... Her confidence disappeared. She immediately created a barrier. A massive wall formed from earth, wind, and fire. Then she added hundreds of curse formations. The defense was strong enough to stop most supernatural beings. Adrian raised his hand. The sword changed direction. Not controlled by movement. Controlled by intent. "Emperor's Sword Intent." The sword moved. A single strike. The barriers shattered. The witch was thrown backward. She coughed. Her eyes became cold. "You..." "You are not using this world's power." Adrian did not answer. Because even he was still trying to understand himself. The memories. The techniques. The path. Everything was slowly returning. The witch screamed. The entire village trembled. "If I cannot control you..." "Then I will destroy everything around you." The remaining spirits gathered. The seal around the guardian spirit became darker. The witch prepared her final spell. A forbidden ritual. Adrian looked toward the village below. His expression changed. For the first time... His anger appeared. Not because he was hurt. But because innocent people were being used as sacrifices. The Eternal Void Sword returned to his hand. The air became heavy. "Enough." The next clash... Would decide the fate of Inya Kone Village.
