She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 493: Fire

When the trees crashed down out of the blue, the soldiers scattered around to avoid getting crushed by those tall trees.

But a few of the soldiers weren't that lucky. They got crushed under the trunks of those trees and were shouting for help.

Some of the soldiers stopped to help those soldiers who were in need of assistance while the others kept on approaching Lillian.

Lillian was ready to kill all of them instantly by twisting their necks like some poor birds. However, she stopped herself from doing so when she heard the sounds of some more soldiers marching towards the forest.

"Well, well… It looks like they do regard me as an extremely powerful witch considering how they keep on coming for me. Oh, how they flatter me…" Lillian chuckled and then glared at the soldiers who were in front of her.

"Let's make them my minions then. It shall be fun to watch," Lillian smirked as a very unusual idea struck her mind.

She instantly began to chant a dark spell.

The dark witch was now using a great deal of dark energy to deal with around 40 soldiers at once. That power was corrupting and hurting her whole body but she didn't care about that anymore.

The whites of her eyes also turned black. The veins on her hands turned bluish-black making it look like a spider web running up through her hands.

And as her target soldiers approached nearer, Lillian released some kind of dark smoke off of her palms.

The moment those soldiers inhaled that dark gas, it corrupted all of their minds as well.

The dark witch was able to control their minds, basically turning them into her puppets. All of their eyes also turned completely black, making them look like ghosts.

Lillian pointed at the guards who were swarming in her direction and then ordered those who were influenced by her dark magic, "Kill them for me."

Those soldiers turned around like some kind of dolls without any emotions. And then they ran while raising their swords, ready to strike the 'enemies'.

The soldiers who had entered the forest just moments ago were confused.

They even thought that the witch had somehow already reached the Palace and those guards were chasing after her.

One of the soldiers pointed at the uprooted trees and asked the one under Lillian's influence, "Hey, was it Lillian who caused all this? And where is she now? Inside the Palace?"

But rather than speaking a word in response, that soldier with black eyes tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword and swung it around. And with it, he beheaded his own friend.

A few of the soldiers who saw that were stunned beyond their comprehension level. They were stuck in the midways of their run and kept on staring at the one who had just killed one of their own.

Some assumed that he was bought by that witch, and those who were able to see his eyes assumed that something bad had already happened to him.

Those soldiers kept on standing still until Lillian's puppet jumped and swung his sword one more time to kill another soldier.

That soldier dodged right on time and shouted in the hope of waking up that soldier from his trance, "Hey! Get a hold of yourself! What did that witch do to you? Why are you after your own brothers?"

But there was no way he was going to answer or snap out of Lillian's control. He kept on coming after the other soldiers and ultimately, that other one stabbed the sword on that corrupted ones' legs so that he would stay down.

He then asked all the others as well, "They are under some influence of that witch. They won't listen to you, so render them immobile instead of killing them."

By the time the 'sober' soldiers had dealt with those controlled soldiers, Lillian had leisurely walked past them and entered the Palace.

She glared at the King's Court from behind and murmured in anger, "That love child's throne lies in there, right? Why not start by burning down this whole building? And then one by one, I will finish off his bloodline."

The spell was close to dropping out of Lillian's mouth when someone she had been dying to meet stood in front of her.

"Mother." Edwin fearlessly stood in front of Lillian and stared at her dark eyes. It did pain him a little to see his mother looking like a cold-blooded murderer who had already lost all of their humanity. But he still hoped to talk and get through to his mother.

He was accompanied by a squad of soldiers who were fully armed. But Edwin knew all too well that if he was to start a fight with his mother, they all wouldn't even last a second.

"Son." Lillian clenched her jaw in anger and swiftly flicked her wrist while pointing it towards the Court. She hated the sight of her son who was very dear to her until a few months back.

The King's Court was instantly caught in the fire.

"Fire! There's a fire in the Court! Fire!" one of the soldiers shouted at the top of his lungs and alerted those who were around.

The soldiers who were on guard duty began to run to grab water from the nearby well.

While running, a few of the soldiers noticed that Lillian was already inside the Palace.

"This is bad!" a soldier thought to himself because he had seen at least 7 squads of soldiers running out towards the forest to deal with the witch. "If she is already here then it will only be a matter of time till she kills us all and burns the whole Palace."

And that soldier decided to run towards the bell to warn all the others and get ready to take down that witch before she could do any more harm.

He ran at the top of his speed and with all his might, he rang that huge bell.

Behind the court, Lillian was lifting Edwin by his neck using her single hand. Edwin was choking for air while all the other soldiers who were with him were either already dead or were gravely injured.

The loud sound of that bell was somehow very painful for Lillian.

"Arrghhh!" Lillian dropped Edwin from her hold and covered both of her ears with her palms. The loud sound was messing with her head.

Edwin didn't hesitate for a second to pull out his sword and aim it at Lillian's heart.

However, he could not bring himself to kill his own mother even when she was very willing to kill him just a few seconds ago.

"Hooahhhhh!" he screamed in order to force his own hands.

Stab!
