The night is descended and Arthur is stood in the forbidden library with Beatrice focus on her book, at the evening Puck drained Emilia mana and put her on sleep and then Arthur teleport her to the Roswaal residence at the capital.

He makes two spirits he summon this day act as her guard.

A dragon knight, Cecilia who is also a former queen of some kingdom. She wears a light armor on top of her black dress with untied red hair that reaches her waist gently swaying following her movement.

She used a black lance made by a horn of dragon as her weapon, she is a suitable person to act as Emilia guardian, she also can teach her how to be a good queen with her experiences.

The second spirit name is Charles, a butler who has the appearance of an old man in his fifties with black hair. His other occupation is a knight who focuses on defense and wielding an adamantite shield with one hand axe on his other hand.

From the experience of summoning before, all of them is from the same world so it was making it easier for Arthur to identify their identity and make a pact with them.

But it was also a disadvantage to him if the card limit is just can summon a spirit from that world.

Arthur tries to upgrade a random spirit summon card and choose the spirit he wants, but the sum of system point he has to pay is astronomical and for future purpose, he can't spend that much point.

His specific item card also reduces become two, unfortunately, the system didn't sell any type of card and just can upgrade it.

"It's time for the Battle with the white whale is started, Beatrice are you sure you will wait here?"

"Beti thinks she already makes it clear, Beti will never leave this place, is suppose"

"I know it was a pact but... Wait a minute, I think it will work"

Arthur takes out his grimoire and write Beatrice name at the empty page and show it to her.

"Beatrice, can you read this character?"

When Beatrice read her name written on the book she feels a pact which she has for some century is forcefully cancel and change to the new one where she is now a contracted spirit of Arthur.

"Why you do it! Why you can't leave Beti here?! Are you understand what are you doing now?!"

Beatrice who didn't like talking too much now shouting at Arthur with all of her might, but Arthur just stood there and accept it all.

Several minutes are passed and look like Beatrice is calm down now, but she still didn't want to accept it.

"Beatrice, as your contracts with me, you must obey my command if there is something that will endanger you, and if there is nothing then you can come back here fulfilling your previous pact if you wish it" Arthur tap her shoulders and with that, he sends her to the Roswaal residence in the capital.

"Now there is no one here except for me"

Arthur uses his lightning element to scan the surrounding of Roswaal territory and he finding shocking situations.

The members of the witch cult marching to the mansion, and there is also a group that heading to another way.

Arthur extends his sense and try to find their destination and finding it was where Crusch with her expedition force battling the White Whale.

"I need to stop them!"

If there is another group that interferes with the fight between Crusch expedition force and the beast then it will make the tempo of battle crumble and make them at disadvantages.

Arthur teleport to the highest place outside of the mansion and holding a knife bathed in electrical arc Arthur throw it to the direction of the group heading to the battlefield.

What Arthur targeting is one of the fingers Betelgeuse appointed who leading the group, because of the elements of surprises attack he can't dodge in time and his head is exploding spectacularly and the knife turns to uncountable sword petals that attack all of the members of the cult in the surrounding place.

The explosion has also attracted the attention of the group heading to the mansion, and when they are bewildered by the sudden turn of the event they heard a calm voice.

Arthur uses his hiraishin no jutsu and appears in the center of the explosion.

"It's very rude if you leave like that and head to another place after coming from a faraway place just for meeting with my lady" Arthur draw his Ezera Sword and pointed it to the place where is Betelgeuse standing

"I can't let you have the honor to meet with my lady, so I will entertain all of you, scatter"

All of the knives at his waist turn into sword petals and slaughter the cult members.

"I think... I was too naive.."

What Arthur see is not an easy battle but a hard battle.

Various magic is used by the members of the cult to block his attack, even if in the end, they can't stop it there is a chance to dodge and counterattack.

"I schemed by the anime! They're not an easy target like in anime where they're just stood there and held up their hand while Wilhelm slews them, oops!"

"How dare you! How dare you doing all of this my diligence follower!"

"Just shut the hell up you madman!"

Arthur, use hiraishin no jutsu and move from one place to another in a very high speed, it's not because he wants to show off but because he needs to avoid unseen hand that tries to reach him.

The hand is not just the troublesome thing, the cultists who survived the first attack is throwing magic from here and there, their ability to appear anywhere also something that Arthur need to take note.

They use this ability to avoid the swod petals and launch a sneak attack.

"I must end this in one fell swoop if I didn't want to drag it too long, Niflheim!"

The temperature drops instantly on a terrifying rate, snow fallen from the sky, ice covering everything to every corner and freezing members of the witch cult.

Didn't wait to confirm their life is over or not Arthur use up all of the mana in the surrounding and release a large amount of lightning from his body to the freezing cult members.

The blinding light makes the night not different with noontime when the sun is shining brightly, the thundering sound is reverberated and reaching to very far away place.

Arthur controls the remaining lightning and throws it to some direction and it vanished completely.

The battlefield becomes very different from how it used to be before the fight broke out, someplace still covered by ice, someplace chared and in a mess, and a large amount of tree in the forest is evaporated by the lightning or uproot by the shockwave.

"How…how can THIS be…?"

The madman's throat trembled; he plucked at his head, causing droplets of blood to begin to flow. His violent gesture tore hair away, and as the skin on his

head bled, Betelgeuse stamped the ground in fury.

"My fingers…cruelly, without mercy, without order, without warning,

without provocation, without meaning, slain, murdered, slaughtered… Ahh, ahh My brain is shaaaaaaking!"

"Really... How can you survive it? In anime, I see you are slain easily"

With all ten of his fingertips crushed, a considerable amount of blood flowed as Betelgeuse said, "It is fine. Now I uuunderstand! Now IS the time for the struggle! For love, yes, for looooove!!"

A very large amount of hands is coming out of his body, with the witch factor come back to him, Betelgeuse can manipulate more hand then usually.

Because before of the previous explosion Betelgeuse cover himself behind the protection of the unseen hand, he is thrown from where he is standing before, so now they are separated by several hundred meters.

"Howeverhoweverhoweveeeer! It ends HERE!"

With his shout, Betelgeuse uses all of his unseen hand that towering to the sky and cover every direction for Arthur to dodge.

"Yes, let's end it here, Hiryōboku"

With an extended hand facing to Betelgeuse Arthur speak with a calm voice, and Arthur expelling an ice beam from his hand that shot out to Betelgeuse with unbelievable speed.

Without even he knows it he and his unseen hand become an ice statue and Arthur shatters his soul with Hyourinmaru specialty.

This is the end for a Sin Archbishop of the Witch Cult, representing sloth. Betelgeuse Romanee Conti.
