"May" opened her eyes again, got up and twisted her body, preparing for the battle to come.

It needs more vitality, but that's okay, it will come soon.

……

Redbird City was large, but the detectives had delineated the areas Maginus might have visited, and the searchers mainly gathered in a few areas, spreading outwards to search.

Less than two hours later, a searcher who was wandering near the commission board learned from the soldier guarding the commission board that he had seen the person in the portrait.

The soldier was immediately taken to the inn, and upon seeing such a large commotion, he promptly told everyone everything he knew.

The person in the portrait is named May. She usually goes out at night and goes back in the morning. She is very vigilant and rarely communicates with anyone. She even works alone when completing missions.

I know where she lives. I've run into her on the street before. She must live near the city gate.

All signs indicate that she is indeed very likely Maginus. Having found the real person, the most important people in the room stood up one by one, looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with annoyance.

"Each relying on their own abilities?"

"Each one depends on his ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, the simulated Inser disappeared after dispelling the simulation spell. The others cursed Inser's shamelessness and quickly left the inn.

Maginos watched them leave one by one, then closed her eyes and slumped onto the table, fast asleep, her attention completely focused on "Mae".

Someone has already arrived.

Maginos raised her hand and gently pressed her neck, squinting at the door. The noise made her get up and open the door, where a group of people ran into the inn and looked around.

Some of them looked up at the second floor, their gaze meeting "May's".

"Here!!"

Snapped!

The moment their eyes met, the wanderer shouted, and at that moment the girl's blood vessels burst, causing her life force to gush out. The red mist enveloped the entire inn at an incredible speed.

Her body bent, her disguise faded, as if Maginus, knowing she could no longer hide, was directly revealing her true form.

The constructed body was indistinguishable from Maginus's own. She instantly unleashed her strongest power and speed, leaping from the second floor onto the railing and rushing to the ground, closing in on the ranger who had shouted, and quickly wielding her mind-blade longsword.

A sword ripped him in half at the waist, his body floating in mid-air and turning into dust, releasing even more life force.

"kill!"

A shadow dancer emerged from her shadow, two curved blades slashing towards her neck. A warrior reacted and launched a close-range charge, his greatsword smashing down on her head.

Another mage, who had used the True Knowledge spell beforehand, aimed his staff at her, intending to cast a spell to weaken the girl's power.

However, three blood spikes suddenly shot out from under the three of them. The assassin was pierced right through, the mage escaped thanks to the passively triggered Shadow Step, and the warrior was knocked away and crashed into another person.

As the psychic blade dissipated, Maginus clapped her hands together, her fingers interlocked, and terrifying psychic energy emanated from her body.

Oh, and remember not to eat anything that counters psionic fields, otherwise there's a high chance this body will lose control.

Maginus recalled this incident; at least until now, her psychic energy had been unable to penetrate the anti-psychic field.

As I was thinking about this, my psionic energy landed nearby. Passersby screamed and ran away, but were still caught up in it. Blood-red thorns covered with sharp edges appeared from all directions, and anyone who moved would be pricked.

Once stabbed, the wound that bleeds profusely is difficult to heal on its own. Even divine magic requires a strong secondary healing spell to treat wounds affected by psionic energy.

Maginus didn't linger. She conjured a mental blade and charged towards the crowd at the entrance, unleashing a sword storm during her charge.

The shattered blades transformed into sharp blades surrounding her, and she walked directly through the crowd, plunging them into chaos even though they were prepared.

As for the reason for the chaos... (The rest of the text appears to be a list of names and titles, possibly related to a gambling or financial matter.)

Fear Aura, Slaughter Aura!

The purple-black and scarlet hues spread out, and as she entered the intermediate stage, the intensity of the spiritual light also increased.

They were instantly gripped by terror, and the girl seized the opportunity to unleash a storm of sword blades that swept through a large group of people. Although no one was injured, they all bled profusely.

"Spellcasters and rangers, retreat! Assassins, don't come in and give away your lives! Warriors and rangers who aren't wearing heavy armor, do the same! Warriors who are wearing armor, hurry up and take the lead!"

Using the illusionary sound technique to amplify his voice, melodious music drifted from beyond the red mist. The bard had made his move.

Chapter 339 Evil, but not completely evil

The music grew more and more exciting, and many people broke free from their chaotic state. Some low-level spellcasters aimed at the red mist in front of them and decisively cast wind spells.

About a dozen wind spells were cast into the sky, trying to avoid harming their own people. The strong winds dispersed the mist created by Maginos, bringing everyone into view.

No, where's Maginos?

Everyone stared wide-eyed at each other, but there was no sign of the girl anywhere; she had completely vanished.

"Wait a minute," someone realized something, "be careful of your surroundings, she's infiltrated us, everyone stay still, talk to people you know to confirm her identity!"

The mid-level Maginus transformed even faster, becoming the very person she had killed in the mist. Her gaze swept around, and she suddenly spread her arms wide at the densest point. Skirt slip?! Ultimate? Zero Si Dangerous

The people around realized something was wrong, but it was too late. Blood-red thorns burst forth from the girl's body, piercing through the people around her, and blood splattered out, forming a red mist once again.

"Don't stop the wind-generating technique!?"

Upon seeing this, the commander opened his mouth to give a warning, but suddenly felt a blockage in his throat, preventing him from making a sound.

He wasn't the only one; the spellcasters and other commanders who spoke also had foreign objects in their mouths. Some of them struggled to spit them out and found that they were life clumps, but the next second their throats were blocked again and they couldn't make a sound.

Maginus certainly wanted to block their airways, but unfortunately, his psionic precision wasn't high enough to block their noses or airways, so he could only use a large piece to block their mouths as much as possible.

If my vitality isn't enough, I'll have to try adding malice to the fog.

Not enough people died or were injured, so Maginus couldn't launch a large-scale attack, and it was estimated that others were on their way.

Especially those stronger mid-tier characters, like Inser...

Unable to quickly gain more life force, the girl decisively released an even thicker mist, which enveloped half of the block. In the chaos, she transformed into a passerby and blended into the crowd, leaving with them.

When the fog dissipated and Maginus was nowhere to be seen, others arrived late. The chaotic battlefield filled some nobles with anger.

Upon hearing the entire story, Inser immediately gave orders: "Go and summon all the skilled trackers and detectives, including the local ones. Isn't Miss Ilsis very good at tracking? Be quick."

However, as he spoke, a glint flashed in Inser's eyes, and his gaze swept across the ground, heading straight in the direction she had fled.

Using an excuse to leave, she used a high-level teleportation spell to disappear from everyone's sight. The nobles immediately noticed that something was wrong with her, but they had no excuse to make her stay.

These leaders are both competitors and partners; they'd better not attack each other, but when it comes to capturing Maginus, they certainly won't help him.

Is there any way to catch up with her?

“Yes, Maginus Imperius is immune to divination, but Inser can be sensed by divination.”

A spellcaster curled the corners of his mouth and silently began to cast a prophecy spell. Then, halfway through, he showed signs of abnormality, spitting out blood and breaking free from the spellcasting state.

"Inser..."

The spellcaster gritted his teeth. Inser had already taken this into account and even used a spell to shield the prophecy.

"What are you standing there for? Call them over and start tracking!"

……

"Miss Ilsis, get up and get to work!"

Controlling her avatar to flee through the crowd, Maginus herself opened her eyes. Mani tapped the table to signal her to get up. The suspicion against "Ilsis" was basically cleared. All that was left was to let May die in front of everyone.

This petrification will allow Inser to remain hidden for a while. She shouldn't release herself for a short period, at least until she becomes a high-ranking being or finds a way to weaken herself.

Maginus, having considered everything, said with a meaningful tone, "Let's go, find Maginus as soon as possible, and resolve this matter completely."

But before that, she had to cause a huge scene to confirm to everyone that Maginos was dead.

With her mind divided, she arrived at the spot where her clone had fled before, glanced around the scene, squatted down as if observing intently, and then looked back at the agitated important figures:

"What kind of boots was she wearing?"

Her avatar wore rather inconspicuous magical leather armor. To ensure concealment, she wore and used only ordinary weapons. The only recognizable feature was probably her boots.

Of course, this was something she deliberately left behind.

Immediately, someone drew a sketch of the boots for Maginot. She looked at it for only a moment, then got up, scanned her surroundings, and assumed a starting position in the direction she had left in:

"Follow me!"

Maginus ran out and began to stage a grand drama in which everyone chased themselves. Of course, she had to keep a certain distance from the avatar, and neither of them could enter the anti-psychic field, which was equivalent to the anti-magic field.

Her running figure suddenly stopped, her face remaining unchanged, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Before Inser could even meet him, other people had already approached him.

An old friend of the Church of Endless Light stood in her way.

Weaving through the crowd, Maginot entered the alley, stopped at the intersection of the alley and the street, looked inside, and after a moment of silence, spoke first:

"How did you find me?"

“There’s a legendary pastor in the Church of Red Sparrow who told us we could wait for you here.”

Kent, Wright, Haru, Simi, and Bereya, the farm girl, or rather, the novice priest, did not come.

Looking at the four people in front of him, Maginus felt that times had changed. Only Kent could fight him; the rest...

There was also a legendary pastor who predicted that she would pass through this place. Why didn't he predict her identity? Was it because he didn't want to, or because he couldn't?

“Miss Maginos, it’s been a long time.”

Kent looked at the girl in front of him, his impression of her still stuck on the time when she helped them get rid of the vampire.

The indifferent girl's expression remained unchanged, but the group was about to become enemies.

Maginus clenched and unclenched her fists, but ultimately did not draw her weapon. She didn't know if it was out of nostalgia or fear of the Light of the Endless's targeting.

"So what do you want to do by stopping me? To punish the wicked and uphold justice?"

“No,” Kent raised his hand, his palm radiating a gentle, warm light, praying that she had not yet fallen into evil, “I just wanted to confirm your allegiance.”

The repulsive light descended, but Maginos did not flinch; she wanted to see just how far she had fallen.

A chaotic light, neither black nor white, appeared above her head. Seeing the appearance of color, Kent's expression was worried, yet also seemed to show relief.

"Chaotic Neutral...leaning towards good."

Upon hearing that his side had taken a turn, Maginus laughed coldly, "Ha, I'm not even considered evil after all."

To be honest, the girl wondered if there was something wrong with his divine magic. If cooperating with succubi, participating in or causing a lot of chaos was not considered evil, then what was?

Chapter 340 The Mad Granny

"If you were truly chaotic and evil, you shouldn't have spoken to us just now. You should have killed us and left. Were you worried about being hunted down by the Church of the Endless Light, or were you hesitant because of our slight friendship?"

Kent countered with a question, but Maginus did not answer directly, her eyebrows drooping.

"Perhaps both. Now that you've seen my camp, can you let me go, Mr. Kent?"

“Miss Maginos,” the paladin gave her a deep look and stepped aside to make way, “stop killing recklessly, or you will fall into an abyss.”

Yes, the abyss in every sense of the word. The souls of the chaotic evil ones fall into lower planes after death, and the Nine Hells and the Bottomless Abyss are their final resting places.

The girl did not respond, ran past the tall paladin, and left with the words:

“That suits me perfectly, besides, I’m already in hell.”

Watching her departing figure, Kent's fingers twitched slightly, but in the end he only sighed softly. A strong gust of wind suddenly swept by, and the four of them turned around and met Inser's eyes.

The blonde heiress paid no attention to the few members of the Church of the Endless Light and happily chased after Maginus in the direction he had fled.

"Let's go. Next time we meet, we'll really be enemies. It's just a good thing we didn't make a vow of revenge, so there's no need to kill someone just because they're evil."

Kent shook his head, without even using words like "maybe" or "perhaps".

The atmosphere within the team became much heavier; all the team members were pondering one thing.

If one's own relatives are about to fall into evil or have already fallen into evil, are we prepared to bring them to justice or even kill them on the spot?

……

"Maggie!!"

A joyful shout rang out from behind. Whether in her avatar or her true form, the girl's eyes twitched, and a long-forgotten pain flowed from the huge hole in her heart.

Fortunately, her true form was running in the lead, and no one noticed anything unusual about her.

The avatar showed no intention of turning back, and through the dissipating life force, it saw Inser flying rapidly towards it at low altitude.

Using flight and acceleration spells, she was closing the distance between them, her face filled with a love that was both mad and possessive. She reached out her hand impatiently, as if she wanted to grab Maginus.

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.
