She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 323 - [Bonus ]Clash Of The Witches

All of the guards' attention was grabbed by a gust of dark mist that started to form not too far away from them. The guards thought that it was another trick of the witches.

"Everyone, be on your guard! It looks like something is coming." The squad leader ordered his soldiers while he readied himself to fight whatever it was.

All the others also tightened their grip around their respective weapons. Two of the archers were already nocking their arrows on their bows and were aiming right in the middle of the mist.

Contrary to what they had expected, three people walked out of that mist, two of whom they recognized.

They were none other than Princess Adeline and Prince Raphael. However, all of the soldiers were still on their guard because both the Princess and Prince were in their full battle armors and were also carrying their weapons.

The squad leader thought to himself, "Who is that third person? Most importantly, why and how are they here? Are they the ones who instigated this trap for Queen Lillian?"

He felt like he would go mad because he was confused about whether to give out the order to attack the Future Queen or not. He waited for a while for Adeline and Raphael to draw their swords, but since they were just walking towards them, he kept quiet. He wanted to hear what they were going to say before deciding whether or not to attack them.

Adeline stood in front of Lillian's guards and showed them the arrest warrant that was issued by the King himself. "Everyone, Queen Lillian has been charged with 28 murders, 11 kidnappings, 68 physical harms, and finally, illegal use of forbidden magic. King of Wyverndale has issued an arrest warrant against Queen Lillian so we are following his order right now."

She glanced at the stunned face of Lillian's guards and ordered, "So, I want all of you to cooperate with the King's order and stand down. You are not to engage in fights, neither are you supposed to protect the Queen."

She added in a stern voice, "Such action will be deemed as the act of betrayal against the King and the Kingdom. And you will be punished for it. So stand down."

Adeline glanced at everyone and asked, "Did I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Your Highness," all of the soldiers spoke simultaneously which managed to grab the attention of the struggling Queen.

The pain in her heart began to transform into a pure rage when she saw Adeline. She quickly joined the dots that Adeline was behind all this.

Through her pain, she gritted her teeth and groaned, "That wench! I will kill her… I will kill everyone…"

She spread her arms and then closed her eyes.

Soon enough, Lillian was now starting to get an upper hand over Tabitha. Her pain had already stopped and now, she was holding out both of her palms towards Tabitha.

Tabitha was also holding out both of her palms towards Lillian. She was trying to attack Lillian internally again but she was failing at it.

The reason behind it was that Lillian was absorbing and channeling more and more dark energy from the other side. The dark mist that was hovering above her was starting to turn into a dangerous tornado.

Slowly, the whole area inside the barrier was filled with storm clouds. The barrier that the witches had cast was starting to crack.

The rest of the witches immediately started their incantations to stop their barrier from cracking and crumbling down. They did not want their spells to harm the humans who were not too far away from there.

Everyone who was outside the barrier was also growing anxious. They didn't understand how the storm cloud appeared out of nowhere. And they didn't know what would happen if that cloud started to spread around them as well. The uncertainty was keeping everyone on their toes.

Theodore was keeping track of everything that Lillian was doing. He had promised to protect everyone, except Lillian, and he was ready to swoop in if things were to go out of control for the Mystic Coven.

The atmosphere inside the barrier was getting really stormy and dark. Two of the most powerful witches going toe to toe against each other in a confined space were making it harder for other witches to even hold their ground.

"Sybil, any minute now!" Tabitha shouted at the witch who was standing right behind Lillian.

Tabitha was barely managing to resist the dark energy from entering her body and harming her. She knew that the energy was about to carve into her body soon and she required assistance from the witch who was equally powerful as her.

Sybil was standing right below a weeping willow tree with her eyes closed and arms wide open. She didn't have the luxury to absorb the dark energy from the other side like Lillian. She had to depend on the resources available in the surroundings.

All this while, she had been incanting one of the most powerful spells that would allow her to control everything in her surrounding, from trees and birds to rivers and grasses.

While Sybil was still repeating the spells by her heart, Lillian had also been creating one of her deadly attacks while fighting Tabitha side by side.

In the next moment, a lightning bolt from the storm cloud directly hit Tabitha's heart.

Lillian gave a sinister smile because she was finally able to overpower Tabitha.

The High Priestess began to bleed profusely from her nose as well as her ears. She felt as though she would explode if she was to bear the agonizing pain for another second.

All of the witches were shocked to see their High Priestess in that state. Some of the witches began to attack Lillian but to no avail. They weren't even serving as a distraction against the dark sorceress.

Right then, two huge branches of the weeping willow tree crept forward. The branches grabbed Lillian from the ground and lifted her high up in the air.

When she was lifted high enough, the branches came rushing down to the ground at a great speed and smashed Lillian's body as if she was nothing but a piece of log.

Sybil was the one who was controlling the branches. Her eyes were full of vengeance against Lillian for what Lillian had put her through. She was going to make Lillian pay for everything that she did.

And this was just the beginning.
