Chapter 368: Medium

South Tivyán, Bishop Square.

Just as the New Year’s celebration was cut short and the audience gathered in the square began to disperse, an unexpected situation occurred.

Suddenly, a strong storm erupted inside the Blue Weave Street No. 1 building that was originally used as the royal viewing stand. All the windows were instantly shattered by the fierce winds blowing from inside. The loud noise caused panic among the remaining audience members on site. Several nearby spectators were injured by the shards of glass thrown out by the wind, and many people clutched their wounds and fell to the ground in the cold night.

At the same time, the emergency medical point set up by the church immediately sprang into action. Under the direction of the nun in charge, staff rushed to treat the injured people on the square.

On the other side, Adele had used her ability to charm the mortal guards on site, making them follow her suggestion to help maintain order and prevent further chaos from causing more unnecessary injuries.

Fortunately, due to the early end of the celebration, most of the audience had already left the square, otherwise, the damage and chaos could have been much worse.

At the edge of Bishop Square, atop one of the high-rise buildings, Kapak looked down at the chaotic scene below. He gazed at the Blue Weave Street No. 1 building with almost all its windows shattered. His face was grim as he turned to his fellow tribesmen, who also looked surprised.

“Are there any others preparing an attack elsewhere?”

“No, no? We can swear by the Great Soul that apart from Kumm and the others, everyone else is here. There is no one else preparing an attack elsewhere.”

Facing Kapak’s inquiry, a native raised his hand and said. Listening to their words, Kapak frowned and asked with a puzzled tone.

“All of you are here… Then what happened to that building?”

“I don’t know, maybe those white-skinned people who interacted with Sado did this… But regardless, it wasn’t us. Everyone is here!”

The native continued to explain to Kapak. After hearing the explanation, Kapak couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then worry began to creep into his heart.

‘The white-skinned people who interacted with Sado… Are they the secret society trying to exploit us from behind? What are their true intentions in using our fellow tribesmen?’

As Sado pondered this, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind. Kapak recognized it as the voice of the scholar who had guided him before. The scholar was now instructing him to go to a small alley opposite the building destroyed by the storm with the lady thief.

‘The scholar has new instructions… Is there an enemy inside that building?’

Hearing this voice, Kapak became serious. Then he turned to look at Nephnis on the other side and spoke in Prit language.

“Miss Thief, it seems the scholar has new arrangements. We need to act quickly.”

“I… I heard it too… Let’s go… Ugh…”

On the other side, Nephnis, weakly supporting herself against the wall, responded to Kapak. At the end, she covered her stomach and vomited, spilling the food she had eaten onto the ground. Next to Nephnis, a soul whisker resembling a wildcat was focused on licking a coin on the ground.

“Huff… Huff… Hmm… I didn’t expect using soul whiskers in combat would lead to this… Hmm… Even swallowing part of it… It’s really disgusting…”

Leaning against the wall, Nephnis, pale and gasping, spoke while wiping the bl**d from her mouth. She glanced angrily at the soul whisker, but it paid no attention and continued happily licking the coin.

Earlier, Nephnis had relied on her abilities as a soul binder to use the soul whisker for combat. Thus, she could employ the fighting techniques of a mountain cat against the eight-pointed watchers.

However, a mountain cat is still a beast. Apart from its claws, a beast’s fighting method is its fangs. In the recent battle, Nephnis bit directly into the enemy using the soul whisker’s instinctive combat drive and tore off large chunks of flesh.

Directly biting human flesh, such a barbaric act was something that a wealthy young lady like Nephnis, who grew up in Tivyán, could not do. While she felt nothing while relying on the soul whisker, once the reliance was lifted, the thick bloody taste in her mouth made her unable to bear it, and she vomited for a long time.

Faced with such a situation, Kapak, who knew the truth, had no immediate solution. Meanwhile, the other natives were very puzzled.

To the other natives present, this woman, who acted alongside the disciple of the great shaman, possessed a powerful and intimidating presence akin to a beast. Her ferocious eyes and the sight of her licking the bl**d from her claws left a deep impression on the natives. Just when everyone thought she was a wild warrior found by Shaman Uta, her demeanor suddenly changed drastically, and she began to retch violently.

Nephnis’ change puzzled the natives, but neither she nor Kapak had time to pay attention to them. After hearing the voice in their hearts, they immediately began preparations for the evacuation of the natives and hurried to a small alley opposite Blue Weave Street.

During this process, Kapak’s mind was filled with a familiar voice, which this time posed a question to him.

“What? What is needed for a séance?”

…

Inside the rubble-like Blue Weave Street No. 1, in a dim and chaotic hall, Vania knelt here, her hands placed on the wounds of the injured person in front of her, focused on healing.

In the gentle aura emitted by Vania’s hands, the terrible wounds on Isabel’s body were gradually stopping bleeding. During the slow recovery process, Isabel’s breathing stabilized, and her complexion improved significantly.

“How is she doing now?”

Next to Vania, the guard zombie controlled by Dorothy asked. Vania replied,

“The princess’s injuries don’t seem too severe. I’ve stopped the bleeding. Currently, she is no longer in danger of losing her life, but subsequent treatment at the hospital would be better.”

As she paused the soft light in her hand, Vania continued speaking while scanning the broken surroundings and the terrifying corpses. With a worried frown, she added,

“Why did this happen suddenly? The princess and the duke… were assassinated despite such meticulous protection. And the destruction was so extensive… Didn’t we drive away the assassins?”

“Yes, the surface assassins have been driven away, but we didn’t expect them to have such a hidden card… Hmph… Creating such a commotion for an assassination, it seems they were pushed to desperation…
