Chapter 363: Deaths
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
If Maddox weren't in a drunken state, he would've been more vigilant and cast [Fire Shield] spell in time to block the arrow.
Unfortunately, he failed to notice it.
By the time he saw the arrow, it already arrived near his right side neck.
Then, it directly tore through his neck while slicing the internal carotid arteries and appeared on the other side!
With a shocked face, he clutched the wounded neck and tried to open his mouth but couldn't!
Crimson blood dripped down from his neck, painted his shirt and pants.
Meanwhile, his body staggered for a moment and soon fell on the dirt road.
He gasped for a few seconds and soon went motionless.
At that moment, a thief-looking man watched the falling Maddox from afar and soon sucked in a cold breath.
Shock and alarm appeared on his face.
He was one of Percy's men who tailed Maddox earlier!
'What is she?! How did she predict this?' He muttered to himself in panic.
Without any delay, he turned around and started running towards the Second District direction.
…
During this time, Charles leisurely walked on the street road, stopped in front of some random people from time to time, and gave them prophecy-like words.
Among those unlucky ones, he also found a rare gem.
That person's title was 'Chaos Maiden' and had some unique status.
Although she had only five bloodline spells, all of those spells were chaos fire spells!
'Oh? She also has genius-level affinity!' He gave her similar prophecy-like words and started walking on his own.
…
Hazel Street, Vermillion Section, First District, City of Red.
A brown-haired woman in her late 20s walked on the Hazel Street road and wore an anxious look on her face. She wore a silver-like armor dress, held a spear in her hand, and appeared in deep thoughts.
She tied her long hair in a loose ball at the back of her head and looked more like a fighter woman. She had almond amber eyes, a Nubian nose, and a pear-shaped face.
Her name was Nora.
Like many other helpers of the First District, she enrolled in the city garrison a few years ago and became a knight of a royal family.
Unfortunately, she got demoted due to an incident and later transferred to the First District as a patrol guard.
Her duty was to collect the house taxes, arrest any suspicious individuals entering the street and control the street thugs' activities.
Her job was not a hard one.
But today, she bumped into a strange woman while she was on her way home and received prophecy-like words.
"You'll be pulled into random fighting and die like a street dog, Chaos Maiden. If you want to live, kill anyone who gets close to you. Do not avoid the fighting."
Although she didn't believe the young woman's words, she still couldn't get off the uneasy feeling in her heart.
'I'm a Rank-3 Warlock! I'm not afraid of some random thugs.' She muttered to herself and continued to walk on the dirt road.
Along the way, she met many of her acquaintances and greeted them while waving her hand.
Most of them were the residents of Hazel Street, so she felt a sense of relief.
This street was more like her home.
'But what if that woman's words were true? Moreover, how did she know my nickname?' She couldn't help but tighten the grip of her spear.
Although the residents of this street were polite and kind, Nora knew that they would never come out of their home and help her if she got pulled into a battle.
'In the end, I've no choice but to rely on myself, huh.' She muttered inwardly and decided to follow the strange woman's words.
It was not out of curiosity but out of the fear of losing her life.
She then walked past many people while distancing herself from others and even maintained constant vigilance.
After walking for a while, she saw a group of thugs walking towards her from the opposite direction.
No, she noticed two groups of thugs were walking together and seemed to be fiercely arguing about something.
Upon seeing this scene, a strange chill went up to her spine!
'Damn it, should I walk in the opposite direction?' She firmly shook that thought and moved forward.
Meanwhile, the thugs' argument got fiercer and fiercer, and soon all of them took out their weapons.
At that moment, Nora also arrived near them and ready for any unexpected attacks.
Just as she had expected, all those thugs suddenly started attacking one another.
Daggers and short swords clashed against each other, sending sparks in all directions.
But none used any magic spells!
It was as if they were holding off while battling against each other.
While Nora got closer towards them, some thugs shifted their attention towards her direction and pounced at her.
If it were before, she would have panicked a bit and retreated in fear.
But now, she held her grip and aimed at the incoming opponents.
Then, she stumped her left foot, cast [Fire Enchantment] spell on the spear, and thrust it at full force.
At that moment, her metallic spear suddenly glowed in red color and sent out scorching heatwaves.
The next second, the spear tip tore through the air, stabbed into the thug's neck, and reappeared on the other side!
It was an instant kill!
Upon seeing this, almost all of those thugs paused in surprise and turned their gaze towards her in shock.
Even though these two gangs would always fight for petty things, they would never kill each other!
It was a rule!
But the presence of this unknown female guard changed everything!
Before the nearby thugs could wake up from the shock, Nora twisted her spear, made a whirling stance, and slashed it at the nearby thugs.
Like a flash of lightning, the spear tip moved at a fast speed and slashed the nearby thugs' throats like butchering knives.
In two seconds, more than five thugs clutched their necks and started falling with staggering footsteps!
Meanwhile, Nora pulled her spear, lowered the tip towards the ground, and stared at them with a deadly gaze.
On the other hand, all those thugs got perplexed by the situation and looked at each other in confusion.
No, there was a hint of fear that appeared on their faces.
"One more step, I'll kill all of you." Her cold voice reverberated in the street.
At that moment, even the two gang leaders got intimidated by her!
A strange silence appeared on the street road.
Meanwhile, a strange chaotic red fire manifested behind Nora and started to take shape into wings!
'She is not a normal Helper.' Such thought crossed in all of those thugs' heads.
"C-Chaos Maiden!" A random thug suddenly recognized her and cried out in shock.
On the other hand, all other thugs took a step back and stared at her warily.
Her nickname came after she confronted an unruly Paragon youngster and gave him a good beating.
Because of that, the officials demoted her title and transferred her to the rural street as a patrol guard.
After some thought, the thugs took a step back and started backing off.
Although some thugs showed unwillingness, they didn't oppose the superiors' orders and backed off.
Soon, the whole group of thugs disappeared from her sight, leaving six bloodied corpses behind.
'Is it over?' Nora stabbed the spear's tip on the dirt road and glanced around to see the mysterious young woman.
Similar incidents started to unfold in different parts of the city.
Most of the people who heard the mysterious woman's prophetic words managed to survive, while the rest ended up dying.
Some died because of random accidents, some died of heart attacks and some committed suicide for some personal reasons, and so on.
By the end of the day, more than 800 Red Humans died, causing a great commotion all over the city!
