The Witch Cult. A group madly devoted to the abominable Witch of Envy, in the worst way possible there is.

They are without a doubt the greatest threat of the world. That is nit just because of the way they operate, but also their leading figures.

The Archbishops of Sin. Each seven of them the very expression of human depravity, each armed with an Authority that makes them unimaginably powerful.

From all the Archbishops, Betelgeuse Romance-Conti was the most active. So many villages burned in his wake and so many lives destroyed.

All to find a way of reviving the Witch of Envy herself for his mad and delusional love, all without rest. How very ironic that he was the Archbishop of Sloth.

However, the Archbishop of Sloth was no more. He was killed on this very day in the forest of the Mathers territory after attempting an assault on the Mathers Mansion to capture and sacrifice Emilia for the Witch of Envy.

His efforts would have priven fruitless either way. After all, Emilia wasn't even at the mansion at this time.

Having accomplished such a feat, one would think that Klarion would have been very smug about this. It would have suit his personality.

But that was clearly not the case. If anything, the Witch Boy was annoyed.

It can be clearly seen from his posture, sitting on a sofa with his arms crossed, growling and murmuring. It was not long before he shouted out loud, fitting for his short fuse.

Klarion:Oh, so now you are on my side!

Meili:Who...Who is Mister arguing with?

Elsa:I have no idea, Meili. I know he can communicate with his cat, but he's not even looking at the little feline right now. Perhaps we can turn to a resident of this house gor clarifications?

Ram:Don't look at me. One thing I have learned about Klarion is that he is several types of crazy, to the point he's make the most depraved Witch Cultist pale in comparasion.

The three girls were left watching Klarion in his argument. Beatrice had already departed to her library once she saw Klarion ending the Archbishop.

It wasn't even about her shared past with Betelgeuse, but rather thta Beatrice tried to avoid being in the same room with Klarion for a while. Her seeing the true nature of a Lord of Chaos as an prmordial elemental being of the concept of chaos itself left her shook to her core.

But unlike what the girls thought, Klarion was not arguing with himself. It was just that the argument he held was undergoing through a way the three could not comprehend.

If they paid attention to Teekls, they would've seen the feline's eyes glowing an ethereal crimson red like blood itself. Through the Anchor's telephatic link, Klarion was arguing with his siblings.

If they knew what was actually happening, they would be an awe. After all, communicating with someone that was on a different nation would be considered incredible from the denizens of this world.

But the Lords of Chaos weren't something as close as another nation. They stood on their sife of the universal scale of chaos and order, at the very origin point of the universe.

Klarion heard the voices of his siblings in his mind. How easy they change their tune.

Lords of Chaos 1:Come on, Klarion! Don't be like that!

Lord of Chaos 2:Child who? Never heard of her!

Lord of Chaos 3:That was an mistake on our part. You'd think she'd know to keep her eyes on her Archon...

Lord of Chaos 3:I understand your indignation with us, brother. But you must admit that Vandal Savage had influenced you...

And Klarion snapped his fingers right then. Teekl's eyes stopped glowing, ending the telephatic conversation.

Yes, he was still bitter about the whole Child situation. He had no desire to converse with them all right now.

One would be curious what the Lords of Order were doing right now. The answer was simple, observing.

Unlike what some would think, the Lords of Order didn't wish to antagonize the Lords of Chaos. They simply wished to keep the balance.

But the balance between chaos of order wasn't the same in every word. As such, the scale was different between Earth and the world Klarion had ended up in.

While Klarion did unleash chaos, it wasn't at the level where they'd have to get Nabu involved or dispatch another Lord of Order. So for the time being, the Lords of Order were only keeping an eye on Klarion.

Klarion:Tch, they say that again...

Ram:Here, some sweets.

Klarion:Well, you at least know how to do your job.

Klarion grumbled while devoring the treats put before him by Ram, his mood having noticeably improved. He really was just like a child.

A sound had got Klarion's attention. No, rather, it was several shouts from a familiar voice.

Emilia:Klarion! Klarion! Klarion!

Klarion:What, she came back already? Why is she shouting so much?

Teekl:Meow!

Klarion:Barrier? Who put a barrier around the damn mansion!? If I catch them...Oh, wait, it was me.

Klarion snapped his fingers and the people were allowed entrance once again as the red barrier faded. Emilia was the first to come in, with Roswal and Rem trailing behind her.

Emilia:Klarion, you put the barrier up? It looked like your magic...And the village is due for some serious repairs...What happened!?

Emilia looked at Klarion with clear concern for him of all people. It was a strange thing, as most would have concern for their own safety when having a conversation with Klarion.

Klarion:There was some annoying ordely bastard here. And I squashed him like a bug! Haha!

Emilia:...Eh?

Rem:Sister?

Ram:Our territory was attacked by a group of Witch Cultists lead by the Sin Archbishop of Sloth, Betelgeuse Romance-Conti. However, Klarion had ended their disgusting existence with minimal casualities a few days ago.

Emilia:So that's why you teleported so suddenly...I'm glad you are okay, Klarion.

Klarion:Like he could do anything to hurt me...

Roswal:It seems you were rather busy as weeeeelllll...

Klarion:Why are you back so suddenly? Aren't things like that supposed to take a lot of time?

Even after a meeting, the leaders of the Light were still required to remain in a position for a few days. While he didn't like the whole politic thing, too many rules for him, he still had to participate as L7.

Roswal:Indeeeed...

Emilia:But we had undergone some negociations that had us return as quickly as possible.

Klarion:Negociations? With who?

Crush:With me.

As her voice resounded in the room, Crush walked forward from behind the leading figures of the Emilia Camp. When she arrived in front of Klarion, she kneeled down.

Crush:Klarion-sama, I humbly request your help.
