Amidst thunderous applause, Maginus stepped out of the crowd and onto the platform. She turned her head and scanned the area below, where the life force she had already dispersed helped her lock onto powerful soldiers.
“Miss Mine, thank you for your help to Lake Crystal City. I hereby confer upon you the title of Honorary Noble of Lake Crystal City. Is there anything else you would like to say, such as why you were willing to risk your life to fight the devil?”
Carly asked with a smile. Maginus looked at her expression, which overlapped with the cold face in her memory. After catching her breath, she lowered her head slightly so that no one could see her face.
Her facial features became somewhat distorted, and a faint, almost imperceptible red mist appeared near the plaza. The girl, recalling her experiences in Lake Crystal City over the past few days, explained her reasons for doing so:
"Fighting the devil is just business, I suppose. In fact, I don't want a town to be destroyed because of me right now."
The girl's voice was flat and even, and Carly didn't suspect anything, assuming that she didn't want a town to be destroyed because of her retreat.
But Carly sensed something was off about what she said next, but it was too late:
“Countess Carly, the demons have been largely eliminated, and the official business is done, right?”
"Of course, Lake Crystal City will only get better and better." Why did she ask that?
"Since that's the case, then I should settle my personal score as well."
Carly realized something was wrong, when suddenly a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. Her pupils contracted, and she looked down. The girl, somewhat shorter than her, was already using both hands...
It pierced right through her abdomen!
The two were very close, only about the distance between Maginus's wrist and elbow. When the girl heard her answer, she used the strength of her arm muscles and stabbed Carly in the abdomen with the most violent force.
Everyone was shocked by this turn of events. The warriors' first reaction was that they had been hit by the demon's illusion magic. The heavily injured Kali did not move; she did not know why she could not make any movements.
In the next few seconds, Maginus's previously deep voice softened, and a light and sweet girlish voice emerged from her throat.
She slowly raised her head, meeting the gaze of the astonished Carly, revealing a sweet smile and face that were both familiar and terrifying to the count:
"Carly, it's been so long! It's me, Maginus!"
A slightly distorted smile, a look that was both crying and laughing, remained on the girl's face. At the same time, her hands, which were inserted into Carly's waist, began to tighten, and Carly felt a tearing sensation in her abdomen.
"I am Maginos Imperius!!!"
"No, it's not 68? N things t put s3i cold Cd!!"
Jim Regan, sitting in his wheelchair, burst into action, arriving beside the two in almost a second, his fist slamming into Maginus's face with a powerful gust of wind.
hiss
But it was too late. Carly was torn vertically into two irregular pieces, her bones and internal organs completely ripped out, her face still showing shock.
Everything happened so suddenly; no one expected that someone would launch a fatal attack on Carly at such close range.
Ah, blood is so sweet, no, I should say the blood of an enemy is so sweet?
As Maginus looked at the blood dripping down her face, she thought to herself, and slightly loosened her grip on Carly's hand, revealing a ring that glittered in her palm.
Flying high five!
The force field palm collided with Jim Regan's large hand, but instead of continuing the attack, he raised his hand to grab Carly's body.
She can still be saved. With enough body tissue, a resurrection spell can bring a person back to life!
"Hahahaha!"
Maginot's light, airy laughter gave Jim Regan a bad feeling.
He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and saw the girl, who had been a "hero" but had suddenly become a "murderer," casually flick her arm and pull a scroll from her sleeve, looking at him with "gentle" eyes:
"My loved one cannot be brought back to life. Do you think she can? By the way, please pass on a message to my enemies."
A barrage of spells and attacks finally rained down on her. Maginus turned to look at the crowd below: Desna, Corvdalene, McKennie, the alchemist…
The faces of her "friends" and "teammates" were filled with disbelief and anger. The girl scoffed, tore open the scroll, and disappeared before everyone's eyes, leaving only the last sentence:
"I will come after them one by one and utterly destroy them!!!"
Jim Regan grabbed Carly's mangled body, but the corpse turned to dust within seconds of Maginus disappearing.
At this point, Maginos Imperius was completely exposed to everyone's gaze.
Chapter 264 Friends and Enemies
A month later, news of Maginus killing Kalivisda reached the ears of her enemies.
Inserluti, Ebesluti, Whitney Nizmore, Susan, the Bloodstained Society, and high-ranking officials from various other countries...
Upon hearing the news, Abbey and Whitney were the first to realize something was wrong; their immediate thought was of the "view of justice" they had adopted when forming the coalition.
"The members of the Imperius royal family have the blood of an evil god flowing through their veins; they will bring calamity and destruction..."
That was a long time ago. The two of them knew that the Imperius royal family could not be the "child of the gods" because they had already seen the children of slaughter and fear. This royal family was at most someone who had some power in the past.
When they learned from intelligence that Maginus had killed Kalivisda, the two immediately sent people to gather information, spending a month collecting it and selecting the true information from it.
They finally realized one thing: while they were preoccupied with other things, Maginus was growing wildly.
River City, White Dove City, Crystal Salt Kingdom, Arans Kingdom's Lush Tree Territory, Ilandamia Kingdom's Lake Crystal City...
Jim, Walker, Mine, Maginus...
Her revenge is proceeding in an orderly fashion. Her strength may not be able to affect them yet, but the incidents she causes are getting bigger and bigger each time.
So who will she seek revenge on next?
Maginus's intelligence was passed on to the high-ranking officials of all the countries that had previously participated in the battle against Nesery. Some panicked, while others were indifferent, thinking that someone would help deal with this surviving dead.
Regardless, these high-ranking officials increased security around them and collectively funded a manhunt for Maginus from all directions.
However, the biggest problem was that they couldn't find Maginus. She had disappeared for the next month after killing Kaliwisda, and no one knew where she was.
Those below the highest level cannot see the location of the divine child, and the legendary prophet offered an unbelievable price for Maginus's location.
Two months later, Red Sparrow City.
This place is one of the main trading points on the mainland, with a strategically important and easily accessible location, making it a "must-have" for military forces.
This is precisely why Red Bird City is not affiliated with any country; various nations have deliberately allowed it to maintain its autonomy, making it essentially a "small country."
Rumor has it that there are a large number of high-level and at least five legendary professionals here, but no one knows whether the rumor is true or false.
The Church of the Endless Light.
The four-person team that had previously cooperated with Maginus somehow ended up at this church: Paladin Light, Warrior Haru, Priest Simi, and Captain Kent. Half a year has passed, and they haven't changed much compared to before, except that they've become a bit stronger.
The group had nothing else to do for the time being and continued their training in the practice field. Just then, a farm girl named Berea rushed in, her face full of panic and surprise, holding a newspaper in her hand.
Indeed, Red Sparrow City has newspapers, which are printed publications that are regularly distributed to the public and mainly contain news and current affairs commentary.
Some newspapers published news from within the city, while the newspaper in the girl's hand published recent strange and interesting stories from various countries.
"Captain! I saw... I saw Miss Walker's message!"
Miss Walker...
Many people in the training field turned around. The four members of the team recalled the indifferent girl. After noticing the anxiety on Berea's face, they frowned and walked over to pick up the newspaper.
Upon seeing the news, everyone fell silent.
Not only those in Red Sparrow City, but also Yue Liang and Yue Qian, who had agreed to meet Maginus in Red Sparrow City, Lenya in the capital of Crystal Salt Kingdom, the president of the Psionic Mutual Aid Association in River City, and others, all knew about Maginus's current situation.
Wanted by All Nations: Maginus Imperius, the Slaughter God
Former names: Walker, Mine, Jimmy.
Crimes committed: disrupting the stability of the Crystal Salt Kingdom, assassinating Earl "Addisonsio" of the Forest Territory of the Kingdom of Arans, assassinating Earl "Kalivisda" of the Lake Crystal City of the Kingdom of Ilandamia, possessing the bloodline of an evil god and being extremely wicked, committing numerous killings...
Bounty for capture: ...
A bounty will be awarded for providing information:
Ability Information: The profession is Soul Blade, who can create red mist and throw semi-transparent energy short swords. They are skilled at manipulating life energy and possess the weapon "Guardian of Flowers". Their appearance and body shape can change.
Danger level: Extremely dangerous. Residents of all countries and cities are requested to report to the city guards immediately upon discovery.
"That's impossible, she killed the vampire with us."
Simi stood up and shouted, but suddenly his face turned pale. The Church of the Three Gods had already discussed the matter of killing the Son of God, and the result was that they would become stronger as they killed each other.
"No, at least at that time, she was a good girl."
Wright's expression didn't change much. He was certain that the girl was on the side of good at the time, but now... she didn't know. Nobody knew how much of what was true.
Captain Kent quietly read through the wanted posters and published crimes in the newspaper, then handed it to Bereya and stood up, saying:
“I’ll go ask the bishop. You don’t need to be too anxious, but remember, we are the Church of the Endless Light. If she is indeed confirmed to be an evil person, if you encounter her in the future… do not show any mercy.”
"But remember, everything must be clarified first. Not all those who become the children of evil gods are bad people. Some faithful believers of gods have also become the children of evil gods, and many have already broken free from the control of evil gods with the help of the gods."
Warrior Haru lowered his head and uttered discouraging words: "But as an avenger, is she really willing to lose the powerful strength bestowed upon her by the evil god?"
……
"Ha, our friend is really something else. He has such a powerful background. Tsk tsk, are we being targeted?"
"Just insist that we were the ones who went on the expedition with her, and that we weren't the ones who killed Addison. If you don't know, you don't know, and not many people will come looking for trouble."
In a newly opened martial arts school in Red Sparrow City, Yue Liang and Yue Qian were drinking tea and discussing the news when the young man jumped onto the wall, looked at the bustling street outside, and suddenly asked:
"Sister, you mean Mine, oh, Miss Maginus really came to us? Should we report her?"
"My assessment is that they should mind their own business. The bigger problem in Crystal Salt Country is internal strife and Addisoncio deserves to die."
The white-haired girl took a sip of green tea:
"Even though she killed the Earl, who was highly regarded by the residents of Lake Crystal City, after dealing with the demon, she probably still wanted to be a good person deep down. Oh, or maybe she just wasn't strong enough?"
"Just watch quietly. Besides, it seems she has no enemies in Red Sparrow City, so she probably won't come here."
Chapter 265 Settling Down for Now
While everyone was discussing the wanted men in the newspapers, a large caravan of merchants was entering the gates of Redbird City.
Caravans that frequently visit the city can see that the number of soldiers in Red Sparrow City has increased significantly compared to before.
However, this was not solely due to Maginos; she was not enough to warrant such high vigilance from the City of Cardinals.
This was partly because she had no grudge against the nobles in Red Sparrow City, and partly because, in the eyes of the Red Sparrow City's higher-ups, a girl without a mid-level cultivation level was still too weak.
The carriage slowly entered the city, and the guards kept checking it, practically demanding tolls in broad daylight.
But no businessman complained about this situation; it seemed to have become an unspoken rule that everyone obeyed.
Black, black, gold, blue, purple, red...
Hmm, red?
"stop!"
The guards at the city gates scanned the hair of passersby, and if they saw red hair, they would stop them for inspection, regardless of whether they were men or women.
The most important thing is to measure her height. Judging from the abilities that Maginus has shown so far, she cannot forcibly change her bones to grow taller.
Secondly, there's the hair; although the color has darkened at times, it has never lightened.
The guards carefully examined each red-haired outsider, though they didn't actually think it was useful. However, their superiors believed it would increase their chances of capturing Maginot.
There was no other way; since the higher-ups had said so, the lower-level staff had no choice but to comply.
While they were inspecting the red-haired outsiders, a beautiful white-haired girl passed through the city gates and entered the city of Redbird without any trouble.
Looking at the city, which was even more prosperous than the Crystal Salt Kingdom and the capital of Nesery, she couldn't help but sigh, but she didn't show it on her face. She planned to find a hotel to stay in first.
Maginus didn't indulge her enemy's conventional thinking; instead, she turned her hair a dry, white color to evade detection, and the result was exactly what she expected.
In fact, there was no way to find her by guarding the city gate. I suppose many people knew this, but they always thought, "What if" they could catch her easily?
"After the 57th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the memorial hall of Mount Emei was erected..."
Maginos murmured to herself, recalling what the ancient tree of wisdom had told her about the calamity that would befall her five years from now.
After killing Kaliwisda, Maginus planned to slow down and rest for a year or two in the continental metropolis of Red Sparrow.
This was partly to avoid the limelight and partly to improve her strength. She wanted to become stronger under the guidance of the two alien grandfathers over the next two years.
Red Sparrow City is a melting pot of all sorts of people, making it the perfect place for someone like her with an unclear background to stay for a while—well, if she's rich enough.
As for money, Maginus has no shortage of it right now.
After looting Ronaldo and Benedictus, their assets, including magical weapons and magical items, amounted to approximately tens of millions of gold coins.
The available funds are approximately 200,000 gold coins. This 200,000 is not entirely in gold coins; it also includes some gold vouchers issued by the Temple of Wealth, which is enough for him to squander in Red Sparrow City.
"So, should I rent an apartment or continue staying in the hotel?"
