My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 387 Enwa's Tremendous Change, Great Revenge Achieved

With the Demon King's order issued, the atmosphere in Enwa began to change drastically.

The streets of this enormous city, far larger than the capital of the empire, are now filled with armored soldiers.

The presence of elite Royal Army troops patrolling back and forth and maintaining martial law has fueled wild speculation among the already sensitive residents.

Several powerful demon clans within the city, second only to the royal court clan, held an emergency meeting in the middle of the night.

"Does anyone know what happened? Why did the Gargoyle Lord suddenly order a citywide curfew? Does anyone know who the Royal Court Army is targeting?" an old man with wings, an eagle's head, and a human body asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know. Everything happened too fast. The signal was blocked before the message could be transmitted back. Apart from our emergency projection communication frequency, all other frequencies were blocked by the Gargoyle King's Court and the Blood Demon King's Court," the burly tiger-headed man replied helplessly.

The old man with an eagle's head and a human body turned to look at the old man with an owl's head and a monocle on his face: "Old man, you have the best sources of information, do you have any news?"

“Indeed, but not many.” The owl elder slowly spoke: “Not long ago, a family member said that the Covenant Temple was temporarily closed. Before the closure, the Gargoyle Lord led a group of mysterious guests into the temple.”

"Subsequently, Dracula the Impaler and Miss Neve the Heartbreaker also entered the temple."

"He didn't dare to look any further, for fear that Lord Octavian would discover him, so he retreated in advance."

"I imagine that tonight's events are definitely related to this matter."

After the old owl finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face and few demonic features slammed his fist on the table: "The world is about to change... It seems that the Gargoyle Lord is more reluctant to see a full-scale war with humans than to save Enwa."

"After all, the chieftain of the carrion eaters is still fighting. Enwa is safe for now, but if the war really starts..."

"To be honest, according to the information from our werewolf clan's spies within human forces, we don't have much of a chance of winning."

“We no longer have the Demon King’s castle fortress, nor the Demon King, and even the sect leader is too busy to attend to everything.”

"Damn it! Weren't the rulers of the royal court supposed to have reached an agreement?! Why did a disagreement suddenly arise?! And whose side should we take?"

The old man with an eagle's head and a human body sighed: "Marquis, don't be so pessimistic."

"Although I have no information about the Enva cataclysm, I do have information about your werewolf clan."

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man addressed as Marquis turned to look at the old man: "What news?"

"The Gargoyle Lord and Lord Dracula both went to the same place before entering the Covenant Temple tonight—the ruins of the Cangya family's manor."

"As a branch of your werewolf clan, the Cangya family possesses greater strength and a more stable state, but when not using their power, they still exhibit werewolf characteristics that cannot be naturally concealed."

"More importantly... more than a hundred years ago, the Cangya family was massacred, which also marked the beginning of the conflict between the old Demon King faction and the new forces, mainly the Whip Heart Demon King's Court."

"I think if they really want to launch an attack, they might use this as a pretext."

"And you've overlooked one thing... Miss Neve was also involved in this."

"Moreover, she went there voluntarily, not under duress. The Demon King's Court has a considerable number of Great Demons left in Enwa. Even if they can't win, escorting her out of Enwa is definitely not a problem."

"So, my personal opinion is that there may indeed have been a huge change, but whether it is the beginning of a civil war to seize power is not necessarily true."

"The target may be someone else."

"For example... that bastard Wilmay."

"After all, he was the mastermind behind the tragedy of the Cangya family, and he even hunted down the survivors of the Cangya family."

"Moreover... this guy is used to being arrogant and domineering, and sometimes he even ignores the orders of the Gargoyle Lord."

"Oppressing subordinates was commonplace for them."

"I think his time in command is definitely up."

After listening to the elder with the eagle head's analysis, the other family heads also agreed with the conclusion of this prediction.

But the owl elder quickly said, "A very reasonable speculation, but the latest news is that the Royal Court army has surrounded the Runestone Research Institute of the Demon King's Court."

"In addition, Miss Neve, along with the Impaler and Lord Octavian, entered the research institute and immediately captured and controlled the great demons of the Heart-Beating Demon King's family who tried to stop them."

"Hmm...it seems they don't intend to break off relations, but only want to prevent the rune stone's state from being removed, possibly to prevent the artifact from being activated."

"Furthermore, someone saw that the last descendant of the Cangya family, along with a mysterious white-robed blood demon, follow the Gargoyle Lord into the Royal Army's encampment..."

Before the old owl could continue his story, three legendary magical auras rose up in the direction of the royal army's garrison.

The old owl remained silent for a long time, then laughed: "It seems the answer is already very clear."

"Tonight, the Gargoyle King's target is not only the Heart-Beating Demon King's target."

"Perhaps, we will see a change in the commander of the Wangting Army first thing tomorrow morning."

"However... that unfamiliar legendary aura is what we need to pay more attention to."

……

Wang Tingjun's garrison.

Under the command of the Gargoyle Lord, not a single soldier or officer of the Royal Court Army dared to stop the battle that was taking place in the sky. A figure, mingled with crimson blood and pure moonlight, was now shrouded in the blinding golden light of the sun. The two swords in his hands were visibly inscribed with numerous complex runes, radiating terrifying power.

Opposite this figure, the Shadow Demon, a rare sight even among demons, was struggling to control shadows and fight the enemy before him.

On the ground, Caesar looked at Roland: "Lord Roland, you seem quite confident about this battle."

"After all, Miss Cellina only temporarily reached the legendary rank through rune amplification. Even with the enhancement of rune magic you bestowed upon her, this is still not a guaranteed victory, is it?"

"Although Wilmai's character is despicable, the fact that he can hold onto his position as commander of the royal army and that the various royal courts are unwilling to use force to eliminate him is already a testament to his strength."

Roland laughed: "Isn't this because you and I are here to cover for you?"

"And... don't underestimate Nina's backup plan. I've gone to great lengths to ensure her safety."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Wilmer, caught off guard, was stabbed by Cellina's sword.

Wilma didn't pay much attention at first. As a Shadow Fiend, a half-elemental being, he could ignore most physical attacks.

But soon, his dark complexion became even more unsightly.

He saw Cherlinina release the longsword that was embedded in his body, as if her plan had succeeded.

The next moment, Wilmai's originally stable body began to collide, and an inevitable collision and contraction began to occur, like an uncontrollable ball of magic.

A green light flashed briefly, and the next moment, Wilmai's out-of-control body began to plummet from the sky.

Cellina showed no mercy to her enemy. Strike while the iron is hot and unleash a barrage of fierce slashes. Before Wilmer's body could even hit the ground, he was sliced ​​into several pieces by Cellina's sword light.

Strangely, his body did not reassemble as it would normally have.

Caesar frowned instinctively: "What happened?"

"Hehe, the Shadow Demon is a semi-elemental life form, right? In other words, its stable form relies on the spells within its bloodline."

"What would happen if... this spell failed?"

"Ah, that's quite an interesting guess."

"However, Nina's attack was still a step short. I wonder if she cares about having her final blow stolen."

As he spoke, the glove-shaped holy sword Durandal in Roland's hand transformed, and the form of the holy sword materialized, causing Caesar beside him to twitch his brow.

The aura emanating from this... partly resembles the black sword wielded by that mad elf back then, and partly resembles the holy sword Durandal wielded by the Knight King in the past...

Well, Roland has already given him enough surprises, so one more won't make a difference.

The next moment, under Caesar's gaze, Roland raised the holy sword in his hand, then shook his finger forward. In the next instant, countless runic magics that he could not understand appeared on the side of the sword. Then, in Caesar's sight, Roland slightly shook his wrist and uttered a soft exclamation.

"Forbidden Spell: Falling from the Sky..."

Wilmay disappeared.

The shapeless, completely out-of-control shadow vanished into a sudden surge of magical energy before it could even land.

It's as if it never existed.

If the gray energy core, equivalent to the Shadow Demon's heart, hadn't fallen to the ground, this infamous great demon would have remained as if it had never existed, not even leaving a trace of its existence.

"Battle over. The experiment worked, but the target has to not dodge."

The experiment was a success; the convenient release version of the "falling from the sky" feature is now available.

By using rune markings, the area of ​​the falling debris from the sky became controllable.

Unfortunately, it cannot be cast instantly. If Wilmai hadn't lost control of his body and been unable to dodge due to the World Tree power he had inscribed on the Cellina sword and the curse countermeasure, this kind of spell, which requires a certain activation time and has a fixed range that cannot be changed temporarily, would have been easy to dodge.

Cellina landed on the ground without even picking up the longsword that had been with her for many years, which had also fallen to the ground.

Watching her family's direct enemy vanish into nothingness, and seeing only a dim energy core, Cellina felt no sense of satisfaction.

Only a bland emptiness.

ended……

The revenge that I never even dared to dream of was actually accomplished in this way.

It was completed even too smoothly.

But... in the end, it put one worry to rest.

"Dad...Mom...I did it..."

Cherlinina murmured as she walked to the energy core Wilmai had left behind, then stomped on it, crushing it into dust.
