You decided that neutralizing the witch was your best option for now.
You weren't really sure how you were going to do it, but you could buy time.
"It can't be just to have them despair, with your illusions you could have done that in mere days. You are obliviously toying with the town for more than that. Is it merely boredom?"
"Flattery? Well done. But no, it takes longer to make a lasting impression, although I'll grant you it's quite entertaining. This skin suit was actually the priest sister, it’s been amazing torturing him with it since she volunteered to sacrifice herself so they could get through a winter."
As she started to tell you about the things she's been up to, you took the opportunity to grab the aberration battery from your backpack.
You didn't know how to use it but luckily it was intuitive, so you were able to cast the spell.
Soul battery; (Contains 1/5 Aberrance)
[Anti-magic sphere is in effect]
You didn't notice anything when the spell took effect, the only difference was the dust motes increasing in quantity in the air.
"You motherfucker! You want to take me out so you don't have to share!"
She started coughing, spewing some golden liquid onto the forest floor.
You both looked at the amber stain.
Realizing what you had done, she lunged at you.
[Roll 20 + 5 (the Bo5) DC 16 + 3 Result: success; 6 damage]
You're not sure why she did that.
Dodging her first attack you easily moved your polearm over her and hit her on the head.
Without magic her body wasn't that different from an ordinary person.
Maybe it was her ego, but she pounced on you again and this time your swing cut her open.
You both stared as the blood began to come out of her body.
The golden liquid ran down your weapon, reminding you more of tree sap than blood.
At first she was in shock, but she quickly calmed down.
"I'm a fucking idiot, but had a good run." She said between chuckles.
She collapsed on the floor, letting more of her blood spill out in the process.
She was still conscious, but not for long.
"What? Are you going to just stare at me while I die?"
You hesitated, she was still dangerous, probably.
"Afraid I will bite? I won't do it if you don't offer a chance."
You still had the contract Niven tried to get you to sign.
Why you hold on to it, you're not sure.
Maybe you could get her to sign, although you had doubts if it was a good idea.
While you decided Potato decided to peek out.
"Hi mom!"
The witch looked at her offspring in surprise.
"Look at you, so much potential reduced to so little. You were supposed to be better."
"I'm sorry mom. Are you alright?"
"Yes, of course" she lied
The monster that had tortured countless lives was about to die at your feet.
