Chapter 511 MEETING OF THE WITCHES

Chapter 511  MEETING OF THE WITCHES

"What she said is true," the blacked-dressed witch stated. "I pushed her and she turned into a dragon. She is the reason we lost the war!"

The witches trusted her words. They were shocked when they heard it.

How could a normal woman become something so powerful to take them down?

Zinnia was upset when she heard them accusing Veronica.

'How's that her fault? If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't have turned into something like this. It's all your fault, you power suckers,' she cursed them inwardly.

"Why did she turn into a dragon?" one of the witches asked.

The witch in the black dress shook her head.

"I have no idea how that happened," she replied. "In my eyes, she is just a woman blessed with a pretty face. She doesn't look like she is special like us."

Another witch said, "For an ordinary person to turn into something so amazing, it could be witchcraft!"

"That cannot be," the black-dress witch denied the claim. "When our sisters abducted her, she was in a deep sleep. There was a sleeping spell on her. So, the only thing I did was to put a spell that would help me move her around. She had no other spell on her."

"Then, could it be that the Master of the Magic Tower did something to his wife? Maybe that's why she is so precious to that womanizer?"

As they discussed the possibility of the Mistress of the Magic Tower becoming a dragon, the witch in the black dress said, "We can discuss the issue later. We have lost today. We won't lose tomorrow. Today, we must flee and regroup."

"But how? Where will we go? We can only hide here," one witch said.

The witch in the black dress chuckled. She took off her veil and showed her face.

She was a beauty that made Zinnia and Ironin blankly stare at her. Whoever saw her for the first time, they would be stunned after seeing her beauty.

She had the beauty to captivate both men and women. As young as she was, she could seduce both men and women.

She smirked at the comment of the witch.

She stated, "My fellow sisters, there is no way I could make you work hard to create a tunnel like that for no reason. I always have a counter plan. As for what reason, you will find out soon."

"The tunnel is to bring our food and clothes, is it not?" another witch asked.

"Not only that, but we can also have reinforcement," the beautiful witch told them.

The witches were surprised.

"If that's true, then why didn't the reinforcement help us when we were attacked?" a witch asked.

Other witches agreed with her.

"First of all, the wizards attacked us suddenly. The reinforcement was supposed to come in the evening to help us out. Second, even if they came early in the morning, they wouldn't be able to do anything against a dragon. None of us were prepared to fight a dragon."

With the statement of the beautiful witch, the other witches became quiet.

Noticing that she flashed a small but captivating smile.

"We will wait until the reinforcement arrives. We have enough food and drinks to last here until the evening," she said. "We will soon go to our convent."

The other witches agreed. They scattered around and sat on the ground in circles. They shared food and drinks and talked among themselves.

Zinnia and Ironin sat together. They were also eating food the witches provided them.

"What do you think? Should we kill them all and capture our target; or do we wait until we go to their convent?" Zinnia whispered.

"The convent," Ironin replied.

"Are you sure?" Zinnia hesitated. "They will be the most powerful in their convent. We might be outnumbered. We don't know if there are hundreds or thousands waiting for us there. We should call for backup."

"The reinforcement," Ironin curtly said, "I want to know who they are."

"Me too but we shouldn't be rash," Zinnia said.

"Are you afraid?" Ironin asked.

That question hit Zinnia's pride.

"Who said I'm afraid?" she hissed. "I just want to deal with them once and for all. But we also have to provide Ovior with the information."

"We will deal with them and inform him," Ironin replied.

Zinnia sighed.

'What should I do with this stubborn fool?'

She thought of something and then asked, "Are you worried about Arthur and Veronica?"

"…" Ironin stayed quiet. He silently chewed bread.

Zinnia continued, "I'm so worried about them, especially Veronica. I hope she turns into a human soon."

"She will," Ironin stated.

"Do you think she turned into a dragon because of the dragon blood she drank or the flower?" Zinnia asked.

"It could be both but I think it's because of the dragon blood," Ironin spoke his mind.

"Right? I have a feeling that was the reason. But to think she would become a dragon just by drinking blood… Something must have triggered it."

"She almost died," Ironin reminded her.

"So, when she is about to die, she turns into a dragon," Zinnia concluded. "Does that mean she turned into a dragon before? It's not like we were always with her. Elves were with her for a few months."

Before Ironin could say something, they heard a commotion.

The reinforcement arrived.

-------

"Why is he like that?!" Darius exclaimed in shock.

Sebastian was lying in front of Arthur's tent. His eyes were closed. The pool of blood was already dry.

"He must have been guarding Veronica who was resting," Felix said.

Looking around the ten lying bodies of the witches, he commented, "There must be more than twenty witches. He was outnumbered.

Sebastian's stomach was pierced while protecting the sleeping Veronica in the camp.

There was a sudden attack from the witches. He took down ten of them but fighting thirty witches alone was nearly impossible.

Five witches were collecting Veronica's body. He became distracted at that time. Taking the chance, one of the witches pierced his stomach while others attacked him. He was still fighting knowing he was going to lose.
