Maria was the second of the girls who was approaching the witch's fortress, Du Nord was already looking at the map while flying at high speed, soon she finds the long-awaited opening to the base of the hunter witch, which already sounds an alarm that detected the entrance of a strange witch. The security guards soon go to a room where they use a crystal ball spell to reveal who the stranger was and when they saw that she was the redhead and as she was dressed in a disguise they soon assimilated with Saoirse, some of them ran to get their broomsticks, behind the girl, others went to the main hall where Natalie was sitting on a throne while drinking a glass of wine.
- Natalie my master! We are being invaded!
Says one of the witches.
- Invaded? By whom?
Says Natalie.
- Saoirse! She is going through the main entrance!
Says the witch until Natalie throws the glass of wine in anger.
- What are you waiting for close the gates! She cannot enter here! Go stop her now! We can't let that witch infiltrate our fortress! My reputation is at stake! Go!
Natalie says furious.
The witches agree with the head, some go to the room where the levers of the gates are, others go to the entrance, standing still waiting for Maria, each one in a part that would be closed from the gates of that huge tunnel. Natalie would stay at the end of the tunnel waiting for Du Nord, in case she manages to pass through all the barriers and get to the main door.
Maria notices that the gates were beginning to close and soon she tries to accelerate the broom a little more, forcing the rhythm more and passing each gate as if it were nothing, the tunnel was about 12 km long, about 18 gates along the way and some obstacles that were moved by witches in the control room, besides having some witches flying towards Du Nord, but she simply ran over with her incredible flying speed, passing straight through as if she had no security to stop her, but some of these witches even managed to grab Maria, until she was being grabbed by a group of 20 witches that slowed her down, but soon a glow emanated from the redhead's hand.
It was a spell that ended up being fired and made all the witches holding Maria end up loosening up and also falling to the ground, which helped Du Nord to keep the rhythm and keep accelerating, keeping the speed high, but some even tried to reach that they were witches who managed not to fall to the ground, but when the redhead was alone it was practically impossible to reach the girl. Natalie watched everything from the main door, she watched with a crystal ball and was even in shock when she saw Maria's such speed and broom ability, it was something she had never seen before.
- (Damn, this Saoirse is no little shit, now I understand why there is a reward for this witch's head, she is making fun of my security guards, who barely get close to her? Well she can be good flying broomsticks, but in direct combat I doubt a lot, I'm in my arena on top of it, she will never win a battle against me).
Maria continued her run through the huge tunnel to the main entrance, until when she arrived at the 8 km mark she ended up facing a closed gate, she soon to the broom and lands on the corridor, this while some witches began to appear.
- You are surrounded by Saoirse!
Says one of the security guards while Maria was keeping her eyes closed.
One of the witches goes on top of Maria and as soon as she gets close she is hit hard by a Du Nord spell, she was so powerful that she takes even the others who were watching everything, right after that the redhead throws magic rings that hold the fifteen witches that were surrounding her, after holding them all she takes an explosive from the bag, plants it in that gate, lights it up and runs out.
- (I guess I'll have to go slower, since these tunnels have no other way than this one, I have to say that this witch was very clever, but this won't slow me down).
As soon as the gate is blown up it feels like a tremor through the whole tunnel, soon after the smoke dissipates and Maria leaves the hole that has formed, flying with a broom to the next point where 4 more witches were on guard for the next gate.
- You went through the first one, but that doesn't mean you'll go through the others, don't try to blow up any of the gates if you want to go through, or you could die buried, don't want to die along with me will you? So if you want to pass to the next level, you'd better pass gate by gate.
Natalie says with her voice coming out of a pipe.
- And how can I trust that you will open the gate?
Says Maria.
- Defeat the witches who are here and you will see.
Says Natalie.
- Then you'll be...
Says one of the witches until Maria defeats her with only one finger.
Maria casts a spell using only the tip of her finger picking up the forehead of each of the witches and leaving them unconscious on the ground, as soon as the four fell the gate is opened, Natalie even claps for Du Nord, who picks up the broom following the path forward, until she passes a little and notices that stakes full of thorns have come out and that gate begins to move towards Maria.
- Haha! You think it's that easy! You'll turn into a pancake! You'll be impaled all over your body, run to your death!
Says Natalie.
- Mestra Natalie! We are going to die! You haven't thought about us!
Says one of the witches.
In that hallway there were six witches, Maria starts to get worried and throws an explosive to the other side, blowing up the gate, another tremor happens, making Natalie even more angry. Du Nord also takes advantage and catches the six with a spell, throwing them where they didn't have the thorns, the witches were all confused after all the redhead saved them, this missing a lot of time for the stakes to close. As soon as the redhead lets them go, she flies to the other side and already faces 3 more witches waiting for her.
- You bastard! You're crazy! You almost killed us! Don't blow up those gates anymore!
Says Natalie infuriated.
- So don't try to kill us with a stake that could even kill the witches on your side!
Says Maria.
- You made a very stupid decision to save us, now you're outnumbered, we're nine and you're just...
Says the witch until Maria snaps her fingers.
In just one crack a strong current of air emanates throwing them to the wall of the tunnel soon after attaching them with magic rings, then the gate is opened, this time Maria would have the free passage for the rest of the way, since she managed to immobilize most of the security guards, the rest was sent to the end of the tunnel before arriving in Natalie. They were the last 5 km without any gate stopping her, only they had some surprises along the way.
- You can go at will Saoirse, but only if you can go all the way, if you survive you will have to deal with my best security guards, hahaha.
Says Natalie.
- (Surely she must be setting some kind of trap to get me in trouble! But I will try my best to get to the end! After all I trained for it! I'm not Maria Du Nord for nothing! I will show that one day I can be a future champion).
Maria soon climbs on top of the broom and begins to fly the 5 km route of the tunnel, but soon begins to come across several traps, such as blades, arrows thrown towards her, projectiles, and all at a very high speed, Du Nord had to be very smart and fast not to be hit, and also some traps like walls that moved to cause some collision and stop the redhead.
- (Woah! How cool! I'm loving this journey, this witch hunter is really creative, but really cruel, these obstacles can kill me, if I miss a finger she can kill me easily with these blades and also with these walls full of stakes, how cruel).
Maria continues her flight through the different obstacles, sometimes she even passed by very little, and each time she got closer the difficulty increased more and more, even on the ground she had a small "river" of melted iron, to cause even more pressure on Du Nord in not touching the ground, they had parts that it was even necessary to use magic shields because the projectiles did not give the slightest passage, until after much flying, she finally reaches the final part where the gate opens and Natalie congratulates her.
- My congratulations Maria Du Nord, you made it to the end! But now I want to see my elite witches beaten! They are the highest standard of security! That is if they survive!
Says Natalie.
Maria soon comes across the witches, there were about 15 witches, 5 of them were armed with muskets and pointed to Du Nord, and another 10 pissed their staffs towards the redhead who just stopped and came down from the broom facing them.
- (Five of them are armed... If I falter I die, I will first get rid of the guns and then take care of the others).
- Shoot!
Says Natalie.
The five witches shoot Maria who uses a magic shield, then Du Nord disappears with a magic image spell that while the witches recharge the muskets, each one is hit on the neck almost without anyone noticing and soon the redhead comes back where she was, the witches finish recharging and at the time they would shoot again they fall to the ground unconscious.
- What?
Says one of the witches.
Maria soon attacks the others and starts casting spells on them, little by little they would all fall to the ground and were unconscious, for Du Nord was until a very easy battle, none of the security guards were enough compared to the power of the redheaded witch, which even left Natalie surprised.
- I have to say I am impressed that you have come so far. Now let's see if you really are all this, I just started, these witches are useless!
Says Natalie.
Natalie opens the last gate and soon Maria passes by, she faces a huge open room with some obstacles and Natalie sitting on a throne while looking at a crystal ball, until Du Nord arrives and faces the Tyrrell.
- Well, well, then you have arrived.
Says Natalie.
- (She's just like her sister, the two are very similar... As bad as, if Heather had the power this one has, I don't doubt she would do the same things).
- So you are Natalie Tyrrell.
Says Maria.
- If you want you can stay for a while and have some tea until you can... How strange, Saoirse is Scottish, that accent I recognize from afar, I always thought she was Irish.
Says Natalie offering a place for Maria.
- I'm not here to talk, but she is, because I'm not alone! I'm just a Freedom Witch of other witches of the group that Saoirse did to invade each of your hiding places.
Says Maria until the crystal ball starts shining.
Natalie soon answers the crystal ball call, it was Julia saying about her fortress being invaded by Saoirse, Tyrrell soon answers saying that Saoirse also invaded her hiding place, which left McLaren even more in shock.
- Damn it! Let's finish them! I'll tell you more about what I found out later! I will defeat this Saoirse easily!
Says Julia for the crystal ball.
- Right!
Says Natalie throwing the crystal ball to the ground.
- I even gave you time to talk to your partner in crime, but I won't waste any more time, come on, let's fight.
Says Maria.
Maria and Natalie enter in a defensive position, Tyrrell uses a spell on her staff and turns it into a broom, then opens a smoke curtain, Du Nord puts her arm in front of her face and as soon as the smoke clears, she notices that the brunette was flying with that broom looking at the redhead.
- Let's see what you can do.
Says Natalie.
- Are you going to stay up there anyway?
Says Maria.
- It's either that or fall into the molten iron well.
Says Natalie pulling a lever until Maria grabs her broom.
Maria almost just doesn't fall into a well full of molten iron, but manages to take off in time on the broom, so she is almost hit by a spell of Natalie that catches her in the distraction, since Du Nord still looked at the iron well a little terrified. After dodging, she faces Tyrrell with anger.
- Are you crazy? Could I die? What kind of cruel witch are you?
Says Maria.
- It's kill or die! That's the rule of survival, come on Saoirse prove it's that powerful.
Says Natalie.
Maria soon goes with everything with the broom towards Natalie who could barely hit Du Nord who moved at a very high speed with the broom, the redhead soon hits Tyrrell with a kick and then casts a spell that the brunette dodges by turning the broom in the air.
Natalie takes the opportunity to distract Maria again using a smoke curtain spell this time she runs away with the broom, since Du Nord makes the smoke clear on the spot, a chase starts between the two all over the arena, Tyrrell kept casting spells and more spells to do everything to make the redhead fall off the broom, but she deviates easily.
There were walls moving, stakes appearing suddenly, branches trying to grab the broom of Du Nord, projectiles being thrown towards Maria, but little by little the redhead came closer and closer to Natalie, until she disappeared and reappeared right in front of the Tyrrell that brakes on the spot, then taking a kick from the witch in disguise that makes the hunter hit her back on a wall.
Maria casts some spells also towards Natalie, even casting magic rings that Tyrrell could even break, the brunette gets angry and explodes the magic aura going with everything towards Du Nord, only as soon as the brunette gets close the redhead just dodges with ease and even spins, casting spells that take the hunter's back but the spell was false, it was a magic image spell.
Natalie reappears behind Maria she was flying at full speed in Du Nord, reaching the redhead, who barely loses the balance of the broom, in what she was trying to fix the balance Tyrrell begins to cast spells on the girl in disguise who is just changing the position of the broom and dodging the energies thrown at her, until she stands on top of the broom.
When she sees Maria standing up, Natalie disappears again and reappears behind Du Nord, only this time she is hit with everything by a redhead's elbow that makes Tyrrell leave the broom, her broom was flying with everything to the molten iron well, While the free-falling brunette was hit by a spell and stopped at a pier so that she wouldn't fall into the molten iron well, with this the huntress stood up, she was already showing some wounds and was staring at Mary in anger.
- You're a bit dumb, you could have this fight on your hands, you're a weak, weak witches who spare opponents have no place! Hahaha! Now you will taste the taste of defeat for your mistake.
Says Natalie snapping her fingers.
Soon another broom appears from the one that was in place, Natalie rides the broom and goes towards Maria, this time an aura was around Tyrrell, little by little she was getting closer and closer to Du Nord, this time the speed was a surprise, since the redhead did not calculate a possible sudden increase in speed of the brunette who hit everything with the girl's chest disguised, reaching the point of knocking her down from the broom.
But Maria wanted to be knocked down intentionally, she was pushed back a bit and was making some movements with her hand, which consisted in drawing a glyph, so Natalie was opening her eyes after the header she gave Du Nord, she notices that she was facing a spell, The redhead soon shoots and grabs Tyrrell's face, the spell was powerful enough to send her to a wall and make her fall with everything on the ground where she didn't have the molten iron well, after the smoke cleared the hunting witch was lying on the ground and unconscious.
- (I did it! The most complicated thing has been done, this damned one is already immobilized, now just tie her up and then release the witches who are stuck here).
Maria goes to Natalie and ties the girl with a magic rope, then puts her inside a box that she ties with another magic rope to prevent her from escaping, in case Tyrrell wakes up early. That was the only entrance to the slayer's hideout, and also had another one which was an air exit, Du Nord plants most of the explosives around the tunnel entrance, soon after takes a map and goes exploring the corridors towards the prison, where upon arriving is soon well received by witches.
- Saoirse!
Says the witches.
- I am not her, but I came here to free them.
Says Maria.
Maria finds a lever where she releases the chains that hold the witches and soon after she pulls the levers that open the cells, which were in unhealthy conditions, most witches leave, except those who were weaker, weak enough to hardly be able to walk. Du Nord seeing that she hardly used magic, soon tries to use magic to cure the weakest inmates who are grateful for the witch's kindness.
- Thank you very much Saoirse we are eternally grateful! Let's go!
Says the cured witches.
Maria soon calls all the witches and directs them to an air entrance that she had in a Hall, it was a huge tunnel up that was dark and covered by grass, that was a fake grass, besides some ventilation, that was the biggest air entrance, fit all the witches, Du Nord opens the passage for all to leave and installs the rest of the explosives around that exit too.
After letting all 72 witches run away, Maria comes back to where the main entrance was, picking up the box where Natalie was stuck carrying her with magic, just like every time she came back along the way she went out picking up witch by witch, some were even waking up, all carried by a magic rope spell, until they reach the outside, Du Nord releases them all and presses a button causing an explosion inside the building.
- That's it! I rescued all the witches!
Says Maria.
- Why did you rescue even us who captured lesbian witches?
Says one of the witches.
- Because I don't want anyone to die.
Says Maria casting a rope spell on all the witches.
- Why did you do that?
Says the only witch awake.
- So they don't try anything like that, follow the witches who are free or else try to follow me, at last... Farewell! The rope effect takes 30 minutes.
Says Maria taking her broom.
Maria takes off and says goodbye to the only security awake that is in shock at Du Nord's kindness, no matter how Saoirse, her greatest enemy, was strange that she helped both sides, instead of simply letting the witches die. Maria leaves alone back to Saoirse's hiding place, Wendolin wasn't found in Natalie's hiding place.
