Chapter 240: A Demonic King!
A deafening howl made the scene in front of Rosalind even more frightening. When she first heard that there would be a demonic beast, she expected one of them, not three, and definitely not five. Fighting against one was already a struggle for someone from the south.
How could they fight five of them at the same time?
She shivered at the sight of the silhouette of an even larger beast. It looked like a bear as it was walking on its two feet, but its face was that of a lion. There was a long spiky tail behind it.
"That" Rosalind murmured. "How are you able to defeat that kind of monster?" She was still standing next to the calm Magda. When she did not hear anything from Magda, she turned and look at the woman. Magda was frowning as if she too was in deep thought. She did not look scared or nervous.
Unlike Rosalind's already pale face, Magda still looked normal.
"What is it?" Rosalind said. Right now, she was confident that only Magda could hear her as the others were busy running around, bringing back the wounded soldiers and going to the beasts to fight. This was the first time that she had seen a variety of people fighting together. There were tall, lanky, short, fat, and even some women in a knight's uniform.
Despite their already bloodied clothing, not one of them showed fear in their eyes.
"Something is wrong," Magda said. "Those monsters do not carelessly approach the walls because of the stones. Right now, they are acting very strange."
"How strange?"
"They are lethargic some of these beasts should be smart enough to know that the black stones could weaken them. Yet, they are charging as if as if they wanted to destroy it."
Rosalind frowned. Indeed, the beasts looked like they were more interested in charging towards the wall instead of fighting with the soldiers. She looked at where Huig was fighting. The man was using his sword, he was cutting beasts down as if they were vegetables. However, the number of beasts kept on increasing.
While these people are capable, they are severely outnumbered.
"I do not see anyone with a Blessing," Rosalind asked.
Once again, the bell started tolling.
Rosalind clenched her fist as she looked at Huig and Magda. Could they really fight against two twenty feet tall monsters? Just as she was occupied with her thoughts, Magda appeared next to her. "You have to leave. It's getting more and more dangerous."
"Why are you" Rosalind looked in Huig's direction. Just as expected, he was alone! "Why are you here!?"
"Leave now!" Magda said. By now, their interaction was already attracting the attention of everyone. This left Rosalind with no choice but to show herself. However, this only made Magda angry.
"We already talked about this!" Magda hissed. "You"
"I can help you," Rosalind said nothing. She wrapped the dark mist in her hand before she touched Magda's chest. The dark mist covered the light that came out of her hand.
"Sorcerer!" someone shouted from behind.
"What are you doing!?" Magda said.
"You should already know by now," Rosalind answered. "Call Huig. I will give him something too."
"This is"
"Go!" Rosalind said. It would be better if people thought she was a sorcerer than someone who received a Blessing. Although she had not heard of any sorcerer that could do what she just did, not many people actually knew that. Sorcerers were mysterious individuals who are very good at keeping their own secrets!
Magda clenched her teeth. However, she had no other choice as Huig really needed her help. She huffed and jumped towards Huig. To everyone's surprise, however, it only took Magda two large jumps to reach Huig's side.
Almost immediately Rosalind could feel everyone's eyes on her.
Luckily, she was wearing a robe that covered her face.
