"What's —what's going on?"
Murmurs filled with trepidation echoed outside the temple as the crowd looked at Wistoria, who was walking towards them. Their gazes drifted to the head in her hand and then back to her face covered with blood specks.
"Lady Wistoria, what's going on?" The guards who were standing outside the temple saw the woman walking towards them and rushed to where she was standing. "What happened inside?"
Wistoria didn't answer their question. She walked past the guards and came to a stop in front of the crowd. Throwing the detached head on the ground, she addressed the crowd,
"Anyone who values their lives, you better run away from this temple as soon as possible! Dark guild members have taken control of this place, and they have a cursed weapon potent enough to kill everyone in the vicinity. Unless you do not wish to die, you better get away from here!" Wistoria warned the crowd. Her loud voice echoed in the surroundings, causing the crowd to fall silent.
But three seconds later the crowd exploded, and cold sweat covered their faces.
"AHHH!" .net
"Get me out of here!"
"Dark Guild beastmen!"
"There are dark beastmen in there!"
Everyone had seen and felt the terror of the dark guild beastmen when Azazel was still alive and in power. They have not forgotten how these people have killed and ruined ordinary beastmen like them.
They had absolutely no power to resist in front of them.
"L–Lady Wistoria, you cannot say these things to the commoners. If they were to know the truth they would panic—"
"Just because the officials do not care for their lives, it doesn't mean that we should lose our conscience either," Wistoria turned and looked at the guards before saying to them, "It's better than seeing them all die."
"What am I trying to do?" Andres mimicked with a jeer. "Why don't you stay inside and try to think about it? I am sure you have a lot of time on your hands."
"And of course don't try to get out of this mist wall because if you dare to touch it, then you will end up turning into a puddle of flesh and blood. Even your bones will melt."
"What– are you trying to do?" Wistoria bellowed.
"Like I said, use that pretty head of yours," Andres chuckled as he looked away. "You and your foolish teammates have already wasted enough of my time. So I don't have time to answer your question."
"ANDRES!"
"What the hell is going on," Wistoria clenched her hands, causing blood to drip down. "Wasn't this temple your target that you wanted to attack?"
However, no matter how loud Wistoria screamed, no response other than the hissing and popping of the acidic mist was given to her.
WHAM!
"Anyone who stands against us deserves to die," Alton guffawed as he chased after Xavier and Levi. Behind him were countless spiders that bit and nipped Xavier and Levi.
And if that wasn't all, Alton continued to attack them with his spider webs and tiny needle-like missiles.
"Andres isn't here which means that you are only here to stop us," Levi raised his foot and slammed it on the ground, causing the entire floor to rise up and stop the thin needles that were aimed at them.
"Ahaha!" Alton chuckled as he remarked, "You both are really smart. You cottoned on it so soon."
As he spoke he raised his hand and waved it aside causing strings of sticky spider webs to shoot through his knuckles. Xavier jumped to the right while Levi jumped to the left, causing the sticky spider web to cover the staircase making it impossible for anyone to climb it up.
"This bastard—"
