Chapter 108: Chapter 107: She’s Just a Child (1/5)
What to do when you air-drop into the enemy’s water source?
Waiting online, pretty urgent.
This was probably what Alice was feeling at the moment.
Shen Sui was also left speechless by this maneuver. What happened to not causing trouble? Why are you air-dropping into the enemy’s water source after a crash? But Shen Sui couldn’t just jump out now, nor could he let Andori take action, after all, both of them were still in a state of recuperation.
Even if they were to take action, they had to wait until Alice was in the most danger.
Alice obviously realized the awkward situation. Even though she was bold, she knew the current situation was extremely dangerous.
The priest of the War God Temple had just been calling on all churches to avoid internal conflicts, to unite and fight against the Twilight resurgence, targeting the Twilight Apostle led by Witch Hozerville. And then suddenly a girl declared herself the Enchanting Witch, gleefully making a shining debut by air-dropping right onto the divine ceremony’s high stage, which would be intolerable for anyone.
[The War God High Priest Marcin looked at Alice with an extremely unpleasant expression, fury blazing in his eyes.]
[This is provocation! This is an unmasked provocation against the War God!]
[However, when he looked closely, seeing through Alice, he hesitated.]
[The girl in front of him only had the strength of a fifth-class mage, and with such a youthful face, neither in strength nor age should she be someone capable of inciting a group of powerful believers to engage in internal war.]
[Is it a test? Or a warning?]
[Those invited to the divine ceremony are all high-ranking officials of various major churches on Dawn Continent, with the strength to easily assess Alice’s true level. If he were to recklessly crush this cute girl in a fit of anger, it might leave others with the impression that the War God Church lacked tolerance.]
[Still, since someone has openly smashed the divine ceremony’s high stage, if he doesn’t display any indication of displeasure, where then is the dignity of the War God?]
[Marcin lifted his hand, powerful might pressing down on Alice.]
[He didn’t believe that a fifth-class mage could be the legendary Enchanting Witch, but he had to use swift and thunderous methods to resolve the current crisis.] [/p>
[Mighty forces surged toward Alice with lightning speed, as if about to crush her in the next second.]
[I want to see if anyone behind the scenes will stop me.]
[The powerful spiritual might touched Alice. The Star Magic Array you left behind triggered, activating the skill Azure Heart, and Alice was unaffected by spiritual effects.]
[Ding, you obtained the Spell Card: Azure Heart.]
Starting with a spiritual attack, huh?
Shen Sui, who was prepared to protect Alice, silently withdrew his hand. Even without leaving the Azure Heart skill in the Star Magic Array, Alice would still be fine with just the spiritual attack.
The Vivian’s Matchbox she carried could withstand most of the spiritual damage for her.
With the matchbox to back her, Alice could even stride past the spiritually polluted Sinful Chalice, not to mention a mere Frenzy Will.
[It’s vanished. The power he exerted mysteriously disappeared the moment it touched the girl before him.]
[Marcin fell into deep thought. What he had used was the War God’s Frenzy Will, which should overwhelm any opponent of lower strength, causing them to lose their ability to fight!]
["Who are you?" Marcin asked gravely, gazing at Alice.]
["Hehe." Alice blinked her eyes, showing a very cute expression, "Uncle, your expression is so amusing, are you angry? Yayayaya, it seems this Enchanting Witch is quite formidable, just shouting the name makes uncle so scared? So interesting, so interesting."]
[Alice clapped her hands happily, fully displaying her innate cuteness, attempting to pass as a bear child from a powerful faction.]
[Ding! You obtained the Spell Card: Cute and Pass.]
[Marcin looked at Lingyi behind Alice.]
[At this moment, Lingyi had already reverted to her girl form, but her previous dragon form hadn’t gone unnoticed by anyone present.] [/p>
[The Dragon Race and Elf Race, the two most powerful races on the Dawn Continent, had withdrawn for a millennium, never actively involving themselves in the continent’s conflicts, and the few envoys walking on the continent present themselves more as observers.]
[The girl before him was actually a Dragon Knight.]
[Calm down, Marcin realized there was definitely more to this. What was the relationship between the girl in front of him and the Dragon Race?]
[Marcin was well aware that once the Dragon Race was involved, even the mighty War God Balgas wouldn’t dare to act rashly.]
[The Twilight Saintess was already dead, the Twilight Bishop missing, presumed dead as well. However, the Twilight Bishop Claude’s mount, Star Abyss White Dragon Qishala, was still alive. As the most powerful dragon under the Dragon God, even Balgas wouldn’t dare say he’d easily win against Qishala.]
[However, even as a Dragon Knight, one shouldn’t show such contempt at a War God’s divine ceremony.]
[Marcin lifted his hand, preparing to strike again.]
["Um... she’s my friend." At that moment, a girl’s firm voice came from the stage below.]
[Oshana stood up, under the gazes of the crowd, and spoke those words.]
[She knew very well that Alice making an appearance like this was undoubtedly infringing upon the War God’s dignity. Although strictly speaking, the divine ceremony hadn’t begun yet, that’s not how others would see it.]
[Standing up to vouch for Alice at this moment required immense courage and could result in being abandoned by the Daylight Church to appease the War God Church.]
[But, the Price Clan would never abandon any friend, and would resolutely extend a helping hand even in the most critical of times for a friend.]
[Oshana raised her head, resolutely looking at Marcin.]
[The Daylight Saintess Aivia glanced at Oshana in surprise. This seemed like deliberate provocation, and dragging in the Dragon Race too, if Marcin acted, he would offend both Daylight and the Dragon Race at the same time; if he refrained, it would seriously undermine the face of the War God Church.]
[An open strategy. But she wasn’t informed beforehand, was it a unilateral initiative by the Price Clan?]
[Aivia smiled gently; regardless of the truth, the Daylight Church had to show unity externally. She said to Marcin, "This girl is a friend of the Daylight Church."]
["Apologies, seems we accidentally offended your Church."]
["She’s just a child, ignorant, I expect the High Priest Marcin won’t be so petty, right?"]
There it is, the classic "she’s just a child."
Shen Sui never expected this phrase to be effective even in an Otherworld.
[Daylight Church?! Marcin was startled, instantly understanding everything.]
[Provocation; this was provocation from the Daylight Church!]
[Given such words, taking action against the girl implied disrespect towards the Price Clan, providing the Daylight Church with justification to wage war against the War God Church.]
[And it would also offend the Dragon Race by killing a Dragon Knight.]
[That lunatic Daylight, indeed intends to initiate an attack against me!]
