The ageless leader of the Witch Coven.

Centuries ago, she made a deal with a legendary blacksmith and nurtured his child. Burdened by heavy guilt after her coven failed to completely destroy the 26th Great Demon, she spent hundreds of years trapped on an isolated island, exhausting her magic to maintain its seal. After being freed from the clan's nightmare, she has pledged the loyalty of her entire coven to her new Lord.] Rudra was happy with the addition of the Witch clan into his territory.

"Elara, can you ask your clan members to gather with all their belongings in the middle of the island within 3 hours. And we need to discuss something as well regarding the Great Demon" Elara nodded solemnly and instructed the other senior Witches to co-ordinate the other witches while she moved to another location with Rudra. Rudra slowly asked "Elara, you mentioned that Muller couldn't defeat the Great Demon right?"

Elara nodded "At that time Muller was unable to defeat the Great Demon so my Mother, the Witch Leader of that time, sacrificed most of her lifespan to create a sealing technique that Muller could use with his sword energy to even seal Great Demons" Rudra stared at her for a second. He let out a short, dry laugh.

"Elara," Rudra sighed.

"Someone lied to you." The High Witch stiffened.

"I do not understand."

"The demon woke up before I killed it," Rudra explained.

"He was pretty chatty. And he was really, really mad at Muller." Elara's eyes widened.

"What did he say?"

"He complained that Muller was a coward," Rudra said.

"He said Muller could have turned him to ashes with a single swing, but chose to chain him in a miserable hole instead." The courtyard went dead quiet.

"That... that is impossible," Elara whispered. Her hands started to shake.

"If Muller could easily kill it... why did my mother sacrifice her lifespan to create the seal? Why did he let her die? Why did he allow the creation of the seal that cursed us for centuries?"

"Elara calm down a little." Rudra tried to calm her down. But Elara started to hyperventilate.

"How could this be? Even the greatest Hero King, the Sword Saint Muller, sought to only exploit us. Humans just can seem to be trusted. All they do is exploit the other races." Rudra, who had zero experience in dealing with panicking women, or rather any woman, did the first thing he could think of to calm her down. SLAP"Did you just slap me…" Elara asked dumbfounded as she kept a hand on her cheek. Rudra immediately apologised "I'm sorry about that, but that was the only way I could think of to calm you down.

Have you calmed down?" Elara, still shocked, nodded sub-consciously.

"First of all, what Kurson said can't be trusted completely and the only reason I mentioned this to you is to clarify some matter. Second, even if, in the case that it is true, then the reason Muller chose to seal him must have great reasons, since Muller was said to be the greatest hero and he saved multiple different races not just humans including those who have done far more evil than accidentally aiding a Great Demon.

Finally, the main reason I said all this is to check if there were any hidden story behind the Muller and the previous Witch Leader" Elara slowly calmed down as she heard Rudra's various arguments"My Lord, I apologise for showing you my pathetic state. And it seems what you said might be correct that there might be a hidden story between my mother and Muller.

As far I know Muller asked for my Mother to help create a seal technique to seal even a great demon some time before the Great Demon appeared""Huh, then it is interesting. Based on the various books that I have read, Great Demons, even if killed, will just reincarnate and become a Great Demon again. So Kurson must have been someone special if Muller originally wanted to seal him and your mother should have also known the secret if she agreed to this."" But what makes this Great Demon so special?"

Elara asked in doubt.

"I don't know. Maybe you should look into this as well in any notes that your mother might have left. And Muller was said to have sealed 6 other Great Demons as well, so maybe I ask them if their circumstances are the same."

"Yes, My Lord""Well then, you can go support the other Witches and if you want even building and heavy equipment to be transported, just make sure to make a note of it. I'll call your ride" After 3 hours all the 500 Witches gathered near the courtyard along with luggage several sizes of them and a map with hundreds of buildings to be transported was provided as well.

Rudra looked at the amount of people, luggage and even building and felt a burst of sympathy before shaking it off and summoning his Head Mage"Knight Summon," Rudra said.
