Chapter 456 - Nast's Target
Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina looked calmly at the gathered crew mbers and asked, "The Witch of the Wind... and what is she fighting?"
Before Danitz could answer with "She's fighting a monster," Flowery Bow Tie Jodeson interjected, "I can't be completely certain... but based on my experience, it's most likely an out-of-control Baron of Corruption."
"An out-of-control Beyonder... It seems the Witch of the Wind had a close relationship with this individual, and now she's here to deliver her companion's final farewell," Edwina said after briefly using her mystical senses to verify the situation. She then ordered, "Adjust our course and steer clear of this battlefield. Leave it to them."
After all, the Black Emperor was likely nearby. Although Edwina bore no grudges against Nast—in fact, her ancestors had once been on friendly terms with him—she had no intention of gambling the ship's safety on the whims of the King of the Five Seas.
"Yes, Captain!" Bru and Danitz, seeing their captain approve Jodeson's deduction, were filled with envy and regret for not speaking up sooner. They quickly acknowledged the order and dragged Jodeson away from the captain's side.

Edwina shook herself from her thoughts, gazing at the distant sea illuminated by magical light. She spoke softly, as if to herself yet answering Ebner's question, "When I was in Lunburg, I once had to kill a close friend... She lost control while consuming a potion."
"I'm sorry." Ebner apologized sincerely before deliberately changing the topic. "The Witch of the Wind? Who is she? I've never heard of her."
"The Witch of the Wind only rose to prominence in the past month. Little is known about her—no na, no pathway, no origin. The only detail that leaked was that she used to be the third mate of the Black Emperor, revealed by a drunken pirate from the ship."
"But despite her mysterious background, she's incredibly powerful. In two battles I know of, she killed a Sequence 5 Beyonder from the Loen military and a bishop from the Church of the God of Combat."
"Her fighting style includes an alluring charm effect and various wind-related spells, which earned her the title 'Witch of the Wind.' Currently, her bounty has risen to 9,000 pounds!"
Perhaps to adjust her mood, or perhaps because of the "occupational disease" of a "teacher
