Chapter 382 – Declaration of War
Chapter 382 – Declaration of War
“You’re dead!”
“Hurry up and get the hell out of here!”
“Damned, filthy witch.”
After blowing a horn, the burly man of the purification team shouted in all directions with rolling eyes.
Only a rumbling sound was heard, and a street corner not far away suddenly exploded. The crowd on the street became even more chaotic, and the chaos spread farther and farther, those who were far away didn’t necessarily know what was happening, but it certainly wasn’t good, and running was the right thing to do.
“Damn it!”
The big man pushed his way through the crowd and rushed to the vicinity of the point where the explosion occurred, however, other than a few people lying on the ground moaning, he didn’t find any useful clues.
Just then, one after another rumbling sound rang out, and the street was filled with explosions one after another, followed by even greater chaos.
The big man was trembling, seemingly in anger, or perhaps fear, “In the vicinity of the cathedral …… this …… this …… what blasphemy! !”
“Ah!” Cries of horror came from the end of the street, and the crowd in the distance shied away.
Only to see several knights in silver helmets and silver armor steering their horses and charging over, followed by a large group of people with weapons in their hands, who didn’t avoid the people on the street in the slightest, and directly came barreling over.
The group of people came to the side of the big man, and the leading knight asked him: ”What happened? Made you send out a call for help at such a level?”
The big man replied in a panic: “There is a dangerous witch roaming around the cathedral!”
The knight’s eyes snapped round and burst out with a brilliant light that made the big man instinctively take a few steps back.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure, Lord Velaeus, look at the way it looks on me, it’s because of her, and the chain of explosions just now, it’s because of her too.”
Vileius didn’t talk nonsense and immediately ordered the people behind him : “Block off all the streets in the neighborhood, and check the crowd one by one!”
“But, Lord Vileius, that witch might have already taken advantage of the chaos just now and slipped away!” Someone in the ministry doubted whether this would be effective.
“Then contact the guards and city guards to blockade the entire city!”
Vileius shouted with some agitation, “This is provocation, this is naked provocation! This is a declaration of war against the Lord of Light and his servants on earth! And we must respond to this provocation!”
“My lord, we will block off the streets.”
The ministers thought it would be best not to trouble the guards and city guards just yet, their relationship with the church had been a bit delicate lately.
“Hmph! Gentlemen of the church, you actually don’t need to be so troublesome!”
A provocative female voice rang out.
“Witch, you really have guts!”
Veleus frowned and quickly locked onto the source of the voice. Those who dared to be so arrogant at this time of the day were in all likelihood the ones they were looking for.
Only to see a woman in a cloak walking slowly towards them.
The big man immediately stepped forward to testify:『It’s her, it’s her! Lord Vileius, she’s the one who caused all those things just now. Hahaha, blasphemous witch ah, Lord Vileius is a renowned witch judge, while you can still enjoy the afterglow of your life, confess to the Lord of Light so that your soul will suffer less in hell.”
All the men of the church stood at attention, eyeing the approaching witch intently. “Penance?”
The witch stopped in her tracks and removed her hood, her beautiful chestnut-colored hair appearing before everyone’s eyes.
“Sorry to disappoint you all, not only will I not repent to the gods, but ……” she said loudly, “to inform the world here and now: I, Sevia Asitini, have declared war on the Church of the Horned Cove as of today. The two cannot be reconciled!”
A brief silence fell over the knights and soldiers of the church, as if they had not understood what the witch had said.
It took a while for the leader, Vileius, to react, and he muttered, “Arrogance! This is simply too arrogant!”
Yes, all along the wizards had been sneaking around like sewer rats, fleeing in panic once they were discovered by the church.
When have we ever seen a mouse run up to a cat and say it wants to go to war with its natural enemy?
A short silence was followed by great anger, everyone was enraged by the witch’s arrogance.
Vileius took the lance handed over by his squire and pointed it forward, saying righteously: ”You disgrace of mankind, relics of the demon race, death has already given you the greatest gift, yet you have no gratitude, and you are so unselfconscious as to try to declare war on the Almighty Heavenly Father and his holy servants on earth. Today, I, Velaeus, will uphold the supreme justice of the world and root out the evil that I have seen.”
“Witch, suffer death!”
After he finished speaking, he urged the horses at his hips and charged straight towards the woman in front of him who claimed to be Sevia Asitini, while his men also split into left and right teams to outflank them.
The witch who became the target of the attack stood still, an expression of mixed sadness and disdain surfacing on her face.
“Heh, the shame of humanity? Just by relying on some delusional legends passed down from the ancient times, we were given an inexplicable charge, what unforgivable things have we done? Is it possible that we cannot be tolerated in the world simply because we possess some abilities that even we cannot explain?”
Vileius on the opposite side was unmoved by her words, and only a few meters away from his target, the front hooves of his mount suddenly leapt high while he raised his lance, “Die! Go to hell and confess your sins!”
The lance with a sharp tip stabbed out steeply towards the front!
Between the flashes of lightning and fire, only a loud bang could be heard, and the spearhead unexpectedly came to a hard stop just a few centimeters away from the witch’s chest! It was as if there was an invisible shield spread across the front of the witch.
Lister, who was hiding behind the barrels, couldn’t help but stare in disbelief, this was the first time he had seen such a scenario that violated common sense.
But strangely enough, right at the moment the lance stabbed out, his heart actually lifted up, subconsciously hoping that a miracle would happen so that the woman would not be hurt.
Now the miracle really happened.
The corner of Sevia Asitini’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Heh! Knight, don’t underestimate a well-prepared wizard!”
Vileius withdrew his lance and said, not surprised, “It’s not like I haven’t seen this kind of district trick before! Come on man!”
At this time, the church’s men had already surrounded the witch, hearing Velaeus’ call, four tall, tiger-backed strong men came out from the ranks, each holding a sledgehammer, and they approached the witch from four directions respectively.
“Oh? How about this move?” Only the witch’s lips moved slightly, whispering something in silence.
Vileius raised his guard, his opponent must be performing some evil magic, and he carefully watched the witch and her surroundings to see if he could pick up any clues.
“Get back!” When his eyes caught a blurry pattern of a circle where the other was standing, he felt a great sense of dismay in his heart, and loudly reminded his men as he made to turn the reins.
However, it was already too late, only to see a strange light emitting from the ground around Sevia, and in a split second, intense flames rose, and the four strong men happened to step on the place where the fire started, and the flames that sprang up immediately climbed up their bodies and spread, as if they were dipped in kerosene.
