Chapter 377: Prince victor’s Ambush
Step by step, Prince Victor and his commanders marched their way up to the temple, killing anyone and everybody in their path.
Abel, the messenger from the Holy church had already long stated the side that he was going to stand with. It was the side of profit. After all, it was all a dance and he played the drums.
Deaths littered the ground like a the after party of a monkey’s feast.
Victor and his commanders had been very strategic with the attack. In that, they attacked from different sides, ensuring that the highlanders did not so much as call for help from the others on the battlefield.
The priestess had been in her chambers when she suddenly felt something was wrong. If she were to put a finger on it, then it would be that everywhere was just too quiet.
"Fanga! Is that you?" She asked. Fanga was the name of the bronze rank cultivator who had been in charge of protecting her and the temple.
The same one that she had instructed on getting her the blue rune, using the battlefield as the excuse for the hunt.
After getting no response, she strolled out of her room and onto the corridors.
However, she quickly noticed that they were no maids, and instantly, a sudden realization dawned on her.
There was a problem.
All of a sudden, she made a dive on the ground for a corner, her hands glowing in a yellow aura of fear as she grabbed into the shadow.
"AHHH!!!*
The scream of a man was heard.
She had grabbed his head, and using a yellow aura technique, she had enveloped his mind with his greatest fear.
The man fell to the ground, rolling from one side to the other like the victim of a fire.
"Priestess!" Prince Victor stepped forward, "I like to think of myself as a very kind and merciful man. Therefore, I am willing to give you a chance. Surrender yourself, and I will not kill you. Maybe make you a maid or something and have you serve my armless little nephew."
The commanders chuckled again.
Meanwhile, the priestess looked around the place.
In her mind, she was calculating how she was going to risk it all to ensure that she got herself out of this mess.
The center point of the temple was not far away. Once she made it there, she knew that she would be safe. After all, she could summon the kind of power that she had used the other day.
Even these commanders, with their strengths, were nothing in the face of that power.
She took a deep breath, in and then out, as her eyes registered her resolve.
She was going to face these men and break her way out.
This entire temple was filled with runes, and even from the walls, she could still command some level of power.
She backed away steadily towards the wall, and Victor and his commanders got closer.
"Trust me, priestess, you do not want to try anything funny. I and my men have already got you surrounded. This temple is now mine, and Barbara is off fighting a lost war in my camp. Just give yourself up to me!" He advised with a chill in his tone.
"NEVER!" she roared back
*SLAP!*
She suddenly slapped the wall behind her, and the runes on it glowed brightly, obstructing the sight of the men.
*Wush!* She flared her hands, sending blasts of fear aura in all directions as she rushed through them, smashing one of the commanders as she did.
Her aim was to make it to the center of the temple...
