The witches who belong to Sabbath have been granted a portion of the tremendous power possessed by a “baphomet”. Witches are childish and adorable, so they really don't look like it, but many among them who have obtained the power of Sabbath are even mages who surpass human heroes. Since they spend their lives either conducting magical research or having sex with onii-chan, witches are often reclusive, but once they make an appearance on the battlefield, they will shower dreadful spells down on the heads of enemies. 

The secret behind the tremendous “power of Sabbath” goes all the way back to the time when Sabbath was born. It is said that in the age of the former mamono lords, when humans and monsters slaughtered each other, god empowered humans to oppose monsters by granting the saints “holy power that ramps up the more they abide by the teachings of the scriptures and the more immaculate they are”. The wizards and warriors who had been fighting monsters were then joined on the battlefield by even the clergymen who had until then either been praying for their allies at church or serving in a rear support role. The fiends tried to reduce that power by corrupting the saints, but it didn't have much effect overall, and monsters were gradually being driven into the wall by the “power of rectitude”. 

Meanwhile, one of the baphomets who founded “Sabbath” deceived one of the saints and won her over as an ally, completely turning the situation on its head. Of course, one traitor doesn't amount to much, but after thoroughly analyzing that power, the baphomet succeeded in magically inverting its nature. In other words, she claimed a “malevolent power that ramps up the more she defies the teachings of the scriptures and the more she succumbs to depravity” as her own. The baphomet who was the founder created the predecessor of Sabbath in order to apply this “power of depravity” to oppose the “power of rectitude”. Reigning supreme as its leader, she used cajolery and magical deception to gather human women to become “witches” and shared the wicked power with them. In this manner, all of the baphomets of the latter era came to have the ability to convert their own inner depravity into power, and share a portion of it with their witch underlings.

What is required to boost this “power of depravity” is the repudiation of “humanity” “benevolence” “morality” and “ethics” which are emphasized in the faith of the order of the chief god. Although they were originally human women, by casting aside their “humanity” in exchange for a “devilish nature”, Sabbath's witches became beings who joined the monster opposition to humanity. There was not even a shred of human “morality” in the way that they offered themselves to monsters in pursuit of pleasure and the power of darkness in exchange for their own “benevolent nature”, and drowned in the pleasure received from monsters. It's said that their wicked minds had no qualms about harming people if it was for the sake of their own desires, as if to scoff at human “ethics”. And being that way was precisely the condition for obtaining tremendous power as a witch.

But that's how witches were in the formerly wicked Sabbath. Now that monsters have transformed, both have become vastly different. Since monsters have changed into beings who are much closer to human, and it is now the inma who symbolize darkness, the qualities of a “devilish nature” that repudiates “humanity” have changed drastically, and they are no longer beings who harm humans. The way that witches expose themselves in the form of little girls immersed in sex with onii-chan with silly expressions from the pleasure and ecstasy is completely “unethical”. On the other hand, the monsters of the present, unlike their predecessors, are endowed with something we can call “benevolence” and “morality”. However, these are based in monster values and differ drastically from the concepts of humans. Monsters regard living to fulfill their own desires, and spending their lives actively immersed in the pleasure of sex as virtuous. But at the same time, unlike the monsters of yore, they don't steal or harm others for the sake of their own desires. Instead, they wish for others to fulfill their own desires and sate themselves with pleasure just as they do, and they have a mentality that society should be based on that, and should be overflowing with pleasure and ecstasy, which is precisely the “benevolence” and “morality” of monsters. Ergo, even if they still have “benevolence” and “morality”, that of monsters repudiates that which is preached by the order of the chief god. 

The witches of modern Sabbath fill themselves with depravity by drowning in pleasure with onii-chan day after day, and take the lead in researching lewd spells so that all monsters and men who love each other can live more pleasurably and happily and for the sake of staining the world in which we live in with pleasure and ecstasy. That way of being is precisely the source of the power possessed by Sabbath's witches.

Furthermore, as previously mentioned, Sabbath creates bases of activities on the “backside” of churches which share the same entrance, and so forth, actions which are provocative and blasphemous against the church, but in this way, that originates from how the organization known as Sabbath started with repudiating the scriptures of the order of the chief god. However, the past is the past, and it's only done as a formality due to old traditions, not that modern Sabbath bears particularly negative feelings towards the scriptures or the Order of the chief god. Baphomets and Sabbath's witches assume the form of humans, disguising themselves as city girls, nuns, orphans, etc., and they get along with church people as slightly complicated neighbors, aiming to win them over as onii-chans and new witches.}}</div>
