Tangled By Fate

Chapter 505  SUDDEN ATTACK

Dong! Dong! Dong!

One of the witches rang the bell to warn the other witches. Soon, the witches who went to rest not long ago woke up.

They came out of the tent, well prepared only to see their other sisters' tents were burning. Dead, bloody bodies covered the sandy ground.

The bloody scene angered and agonized them at the same time.

"Curse the wizards!"

"Curse them all!!"

They threw curses at the wizards while shielding their vulnerable sisters.

Colorful spells were thrown at the witches and they either vanished, got burned or slaughtered or turned into ash.

Darius, Zinnia and Ironin couldn't use magic. Using their weapons, they sliced any witch that came into their sights. Ironin's arrow flew to any witch he could get his eyes on.

Darius moved his ax and hacked off the witches. While doing so, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Zinnia who was beside him smirked.

"What happened? Are you upset that I killed more than you?" she asked.

"What nonsense!" Darius snorted. "I'm definitely killing more than you. I'm sad that I'm raising my hands against sexy women. I hate this!"

He looked like a heartbroken lover who cheated on his wife.

wife.

"…"

Zinnia was speechless.

"Don't pay attention to him, Zinnia," Merlin said. He walked in the air, above their heads.

"Did you see Arthur?" Darius asked.

Merlin turned back and said, "He was creating a spell in the back. I don't see him there anymore."

"Maybe he went after that bloody queen," Darius said. "That bitch can be annoying."

"She won't die that early," Zinnia commented. "Arthur won't kill his enemy so mercilessly. Don't forget what she did to Veronica."

Darius sweated. He didn't need to find out what his lovesick friend would do for his wife.

"Ah, he is over there," Merlin pointed out on the right side.

Zinnia and Darius looked to their right.

They found Arthur using some circles to get rid of the witch tents. Purple aura spread miles and killed all the witches within the area.

"What are you guys doing? Did you forget that you are in the middle of the battlefield?"

Felix came forward with a bloody sword.

"Focus on the witches, not Arthur," he added. "The queen disappeared from her place. We need to find her and end this war."

"We are supposed to get them off-guard. For them to fight back like this, it means they knew we would come and were prepared for this," Zinnia stated.

She blocked a witch's attack and threw a shuriken at her. The shuriken stabbed the witch's neck and blood gashed out. She died on the spot.

"I did see the spies," Darius commented. "Arthur's hypothesis was right as usual. I can't believe the bitch queen alerted the witches."

"I don't think that's her," Felix replied.

"Yeah, me neither. That woman is just too stupid," Zinnia agreed.

"It's not that the witches randomly befriended the queen. Someone smart enough to have knowledge about politics and battles… a witch…" Merlin voiced his thoughts.

"It seems to me this isn't the end of the witches. We have to destroy their coven," Zinnia commented.

"Let's hope we don't have to. I want to end this war right here and now. I don't want another battle in the scorching hot desert," said Darius while wiping his forehead.

Others couldn't agree more. They were profusely sweating. Whatever water was in their body was seeping out of their body.

"Couldn't there be a way to only cool our team?" Darius asked aloud.

"There is," Merlin replied. "Only Arthur and Ovior can do it while fighting against the witches. I, on the other hand, can't focus on both. I also don't have enough mana to release both magic spells at the same time."

Darius groaned painfully.

"Get me some water at least!!"

While they were fighting, suddenly the ground shook.

"Earthquake!" Darius shouted to warn others.

"It's not an earthquake!" Zinnia yelled. "Look!"

Everybody looked in the direction she was pointing out.

The desert was a vast land with golden sands all around it. A tiny peak came out through the sands.

The tiny peak gradually became a sand tower that turned seventy-three meters tall.

Everyone stared at it in a daze.

Felix used his left hand to shade his eyes from the sun as he asked, "What the hell is that?"

"Witchcraft," Merlin murmured.

"Huh? That's witchcraft?!" Darius exclaimed. "Why the hell then I'm still a warrior? I should just become a guy witch and build houses like this? I'll become rich!"

"When did you care about? You earned so much but always wasted them on women," Zinnia complained.

Darius smirked. "Women are worth spending money on."

"But what is this doing here? Any clue?" Felix focused on the main topic.

They didn't have to wait for long. A witch came to view.

From the top of the sand tower, they could see the witch wearing a beautiful black gown and a black veil was covering her face. Right beside her was Queen Isabell.

Queen Isabell was wearing a red gown. She was stripped of her title but her luxury knew no bounds.

Although she covered herself with gold and jewels, the eye-catching person was the black-veiled witch beside her.

"Why doesn't she feel hot? I'm getting jealous here," Darius complained.

"I feel some unusual power from her. She must be the one who built the tower just now. She could be the head of the witch," Merlin stated.

"Then we should take both of them down," Zinnia stated.

She threw one of her shurikens at them. However, it didn't reach those women. A black smoke prevented the shuriken.

"There is a layer surrounding the tower," Merlin said.

"Where is Arthur?" Felix mumbled while looking around.

He found Arthur close to the tower. He also found it suspicious and used magic to fly close to two women.

"You have some nerve coming in front of me," he said in a threatening voice.

Queen Isabella smirked. Before she could speak, someone brought another woman in a white dress.

Just looking at the face of that person, Felix, Zinnia, Merlin and Darius's eyes constricted.

"Wait… isn't that…"
