Now, with the defeat of the academy hunters, hope vanished as well.
Expecting the trio to come back in triumph, the targeted city was instead greeted by them being dragged up the city steps by their feet, bound helplessly with rope. All three of them, without exception, fell to the opposing party.
People panicked.
And it didn't take long before chaos ensued.
Many of them ran to the woods, but the Blood Priests were there to slaughter them.
Others who tried to go through the other entrance to the city were intercepted by a flaming figure.
She approached from a distance, levitating with grace and power—the flame saintess.
Underneath her, more wicked Blood Priests and Blood Nuns followed in formation.
Each donned a smile that stripped the people of the will to fight back.
