Chapter 226: How Not To Search For A Traitor
Quinn grunted as she pushed her way through the crowd of people that were all running toward the church to try and find safety! The people in the town were all terrified and they were trying their best to run away from the demons, but since there were demons at all the escape routes, the best solution they could come up with was to move towards the church!
All the escape routes out of the kingdom have been closed down by Rizi and the demon army and there was nowhere else for the people to go, but luckily for them, the church was happily accepting anyone that came to take shelter in there. It was mainly women and children that were taken in by the church while the men stayed back to fight against the demons with whatever spell they had.
Quinn heard a small boy crying out for his father at her side and she grit her teeth once she looked in that direction. She could see the little boy crying and screaming for his father at the center of the crowd and Quinn quickly tried to see if she could get to him. Even if she is now a demon, Quinn still had the heart of a human. She is not like Floid that let go of his humanity a long time ago, she still cared about people! She can't just leave a small child to die without feeling bad about it!
But before Quinn could get to the little boy, she heard people screaming as a giant ran towards the crowd and started to swing its club around like a mad man! The giant rose its leg up and Quinn shouted out for the giant to stop as she saw that it was about to step on the child!
"No!! Stop!!"
Squelch!!!
The giant's foot slammed down on the little boy and Quinn grimaced as the boy's blood splashed around the floor! She was sure she would see this in her dreams for a long time. What the hell was Floid doing to these people? What sort of crime did they commit for them to suffer through this!?
Quinn shook her head with a glare and she turned back to move towards the church! She was worried about what floid was doing, but that doesn't mean she would try to stop him. Quinn knew she couldn't stop him even if she wanted to. And besides, the boy was already dead so she didn't have time to think about him!
Quinn might be softhearted but she wasn't foolish. She wouldn't go screaming about injustice and evil while trying to stop the giant like a fool. Floid might've been the one that made these demons come here to kill these people, but she was also at fault for allowing it to happen without even trying to stop him once. Quinn always knew that this is what an invasion would be like. she wasn't so hopeful that she would imagine her brother would spare anyone! He wasn't the sort of person that would discriminate when it comes down to killing. Floid could kill anyone and everyone that he wanted to kill regardless of who that person is.
Quinn could only grit her teeth and continue moving forward toward the church.
Quinn finally managed to get through the crowd. She was stronger than most of the humans moving to the church, so she was able to push them out of the way and get to the church before them. Quinn got to the door and she was quickly ushered into the church by the priest at the door.
Quinn looked back as one of the priests walked up to her and spoke quietly. He was holding a bowl of fruits and he had a smile that showed how calm he was. He was about to go around to serve some fruits to the women and children when he noticed Quinn moving toward their inner sanctum. Quinn glared at him and she immediately drew her sword and grabbed him by the shirt!
Slam!
Quinn slammed him into the wall beside her and snarled at him.
"The priest, Dray. Where is he?"
The noise from Quinn's movement made everyone in the room look towards her and people started to cower back in fear as they saw her pointing a sword at the throat of one of the priests. The other priests in the church started to walk towards the two of them with the intention of separating them, but Quinn only sunk her sword deeper into the priest's neck with a snarl. the rest immediately rose his hand to tell the other priests to stop coming towards him and Quinn.
This priest that Ophis was holding was Richards, the same priest that went to grab Ophis from her house to bring her to the head priest. He stared at Quinn with a smile and he almost felt like laughing. This little girl was threatening him with a sword? Does she not know that I am the anointed of the lord? She must've seen how all the demons avoided and ran away from me, so why does she think that something like this would harm me!? I am protected by the Lord!
"Maybe we can talk -"
Quinn cut Richards off before he could finish what he wanted to say.
"Shut the fuck up! Take one more step and I'll decapitate him like a fish,"
Quinn said that second part to the priests coming towards them and the priests immediately stopped moving and put their hands up. Quinn turned back towards Richards and asked him the question again.
"Where the fuck is Dray?"
