Chapter 1562 – They Attack the Moment They Disagree
I originally thought they wouldn’t bother answering such questions, but the seven priests looked at Karina very seriously. The old woman replied, “Under the old woman’s lantern, all lies have nowhere to hide.”
“No good, we’re exposed,” I said to Lavias and the General in Cando City.
“What? Your identities are exposed? How did they get exposed?” Lavias asked.
“It’s people from the Seven Gods Church. That old woman’s lantern seems to have the effect of seeing the truth and breaking through falsehoods. Karina is exposed,” I inferred from the Seven Gods Priest’s answer.
“The Seven Gods Church? Those guys are very difficult to deal with, with their diverse abilities. Do you need our help?” the General asked.
“It would be very easy for you to expose your identities. I’ll go instead, but I can’t exert my full strength during the day,” Lavias advised. He was already overworked, and I was afraid he’d die if he fought again.
“Don’t rush, both of you. Karina said she can handle this situation herself and told you not to worry yet,” I relayed Karina’s telepathic message.
Lavias and the General calmed down. However, they were already adjusting their conditions, preparing for battle. Once Karina summoned them, they would be ready to help.
At this time, in the Darmstadt Palace on the other side, the old man holding the scales was questioning Karina: “Your Excellency, you are undoubtedly evil. What is your purpose here? Can you explain? Otherwise, we can only assume you are involved in the Princess’s coma.”
The scales in his hand were weighing two masses of magic power. One was brilliant Holy Light, and the other was a mass full of gluttony and destructive desire. I felt it was familiar, yet slightly different.
That was Karina’s aura. The scales had taken a trace of Karina’s magic power at some point and weighed it. As a believer of Beelzebub, it was undoubtedly evil at a glance.
Even so, the old man was very dignified. Even when questioning Karina, he was polite and courteous.
“If I say my purpose is to save her, will you believe me?” Karina said with a smile, seemingly not worried or afraid at all about being surrounded by so many experts after entering the palace.
“Why waste words with this evil outsider? Take her down quickly and interrogate her for the whereabouts of the werewolf! She must be working with that werewolf. If we don’t capture her soon, it will be too late!” a hot-tempered Martial Officer shouted.
The Seven Gods Priest thought it was indeed urgent. The Warrior said, “I advise you to surrender obediently and explain the situation clearly. If you are not involved, I guarantee you can leave safely.”
“What if I say no?” Karina showed no fear. I was amazed that she could still say such threatening words in this situation.
“Then we have no choice but to offend you!” The Seven Gods Priests attacked simultaneously, and seven different divine powers struck. At the same time, a multicolored shield lit up on the Princess.
It turned out that their ritual just now was not only to save the Princess but also to bestow a layer of protection upon her, preventing her from being affected by the upcoming battle.
Karina raised her hand. She was not suppressed by the divine power at all. As she raised her hand, a black demonic flame burned in her palm. Then, a giant demonic mouth appeared in mid-air and lunged at the seven beams of light.
“Boom!” A violent explosion blew open the infirmary. Many officials were sent flying, but they were immediately covered by a magic shield, which not only blocked the impact but also carried them lightly to the ground, protecting them.
The Archmage saved them. With a wave of his hand, he cast a magic shield on everyone. Then he pointed his staff at Karina: “Ring of Binding!”
A ring inscribed with several ancient runes appeared above Karina’s head, then transformed into a large number of illusory rings, blocking all her escape routes.
“Be careful!” I flew out, and a large number of chains shot out from me, binding all the magic energy rings and throwing them away.
Karina directly retreated to outside the blown-open palace and stood in mid-air, looking down at everyone as if from on high. I floated behind her, like a spirit possession.
“Evil magic, and a Guardian Deity. I didn’t expect you to be a witch,” the Heavenly Father said, looking up at her. The Holy Mother said coldly, “In that case, we can’t let you go.”
They didn’t know that the Guardian Deity wasn’t Karina’s, but controlled by me. Of course, it didn’t matter whose it was in the battle.
“Guards! Ring the bell, summon the Imperial Guard! Capture this madwoman for me!” a Martial Officer shouted angrily after getting up. The soldiers outside immediately ran towards the nearest bell tower.
Who knew that Karina would directly raise her hand and aim at the closest bell tower. A black light shot out, sweeping across the bell tower, which was very slender compared to the other towers in the palace.
The black light directly pierced the central structure of the bell tower. Then, with a sweep of the light, it drew an ugly black line on the bell tower, which was covered in exquisite reliefs.
The next second, the artistic bell tower broke. The black light cut through the structure of the bell tower. The upper part of the bell tower, along with the large bell, crashed onto the lower palace structure, smashing many exquisite windows, roofs, and balconies. The bell tower, after a dull chime, shattered into pieces.
Everyone was shocked. It wasn’t that destroying this bell tower was difficult, but that the Darmstadt Palace hadn’t had anyone dare to damage it for who knows how many years. The last time it was damaged in battle was during the Fenrir Legion’s invasion.
“Witch! You’re finished! Do you think the soldiers won’t come if you destroy the bell tower? With such a big commotion, the soldiers inside the palace will definitely come to check the situation. You can’t escape!” the Martial Officer said triumphantly.
“You misunderstand. I destroyed the bell tower simply because I didn’t want to harm too many soldiers, causing them to die without knowing why. Those rabble pose no threat to me,” Karina said dismissively.
“Whoa! They started fighting all of a sudden. Parul (Sister), what should we do?” Lorna asked flusteredly.
“There’s no other way. Let’s help Karina escape first. We have to go all out!” I said. There were no other better choices now.
“Heh heh, so boastful! By the time the soldiers below surround you, it will be too late to surrender!” the Martial Officer laughed.
“Whether I’m boastful or not, you’ll experience it yourself.” Karina raised her hand, and a huge yellow and black lightning ball appeared above her head, containing immense Divine Power.
“Not good, hurry and interrupt her!” Several experienced Warriors immediately saw that this magic was much more powerful than the previous one.
The Seven Gods Priests did not need reminding and had already taken the initiative to attack. Seven-colored mixed light beams once again blasted towards Karina. This time, it was accompanied by the Archmage’s magic and the sword energy of two Knights.
At this moment, Karina’s black robe stretched like a shadow, and countless bloody flies swarmed out. Via made her move.
