?"You roach like bitch…"

The Swordsman muttered with a pale look on his face as he glared at Veronica with hatred-filled eyes.

"I don't want to hear that from a human who is working with Demons. Even the lowest of the lowest beings are better than you."

"Do not act like you know me."

The man was quick to retort. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝓫𝓷𝓸𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶

With how sensitive he seemed about what Veronica said, it was clear that he had his own reasons for doing what he was doing.

Veronica, however, was not the one to care about reasons, according to her, even conversing with a demon was a disgusting act. The very fact that the Swordsman had teamed up with a demon took his right to be treated like a normal human and sympathies with.

Demonic beings were the followers of the God of Darkness. They spread chaos and destruction everywhere in the world and symbolized terror. The number of humans these beings had terrified and slaughtered was in billions.

And even after all that, for humans to still approach these beings and work together with them was a disgusting act that was considered taboo.

"Whether I know you or not does not matter," free webnov el.com

Veronica spoke with a cold look on her face.

"The only thing that matters is that I need to get rid of you and that abomination standing behind you."

The cold look on the woman's face had no hint of mercy.

"You should know that continuing this any further would take too huge of a toll on your body, you wouldn't be able to stay alive in such a situation either."

The Swordsman warned.

He had miscalculated.

He thought that teaming up with the Demons would be enough to get rid of this woman, Veronica, however, was stronger than what was known, and… this was the reason they were stuck in such a predicament.

The woman had hidden her strength from the rest of the world and once her true strength was revealed, the Swordsman instantly knew that the woman had what it took to take all of them out all on her own.

Of course, it didn't mean she could completely overpower them on her own. If she wanted to defeat them, she would need her God's help, and since she had already used God of Magic's Blessing twice in the battle before, she would need to use it the third time.

Something that is considered taboo inside the Tower of Magic, not because it is considered evil, but because of the side effects it has on the individual's body.

Depending on the strength of different God's Blessing, there is a limit to how many times a day can a believer call for his God's help and as one of the Strongest known Gods in the world, the blessing of God of Magic can be used no more than 2 times.

The toll it would take to use God's blessing the third time was simply too strong, her Magic Circuits would be ruined permanently and she would turn into a Cripple.

She would become someone who even the God of Light's blessing cannot heal since rather than being 'harmed' it was the body's own mechanism to 'protect' itself and since protection wasn't a negative force, the God of Light's blessing simply wouldn't work.

What did that mean?

It meant that a cripple who cannot even activate Artifacts on her own would be left alone in the middle of the forest where Magical Beasts roam around, no matter what, the only ending of such a situation was death.

It meant that if Veronica followed through, she would only be heading towards her death.

She, as an Advanced Mage, had a good life, throwing it away was a foolish decision, the Swordsman wanted to end things here and walk on their own paths so that both parties could continue living,

However,

"Who made you think that I plan to stay alive after being unable to protect my children?"

Veronica questioned with a weak smile on her face as she glanced at the corpses of her team members right next to her.

The next second, her eyes fell on the spots on the ground that were charred black, this was where two of her team members' bodies exploded because of the Demon's ability. Recalling how those poor children died in agony, crying for help before exploding into so many pieces that their bodies couldn't even be found anymore, Veronica was, once again filled with hatred,

"You people have no right to live."

She spoke and then, she closed her eyes and,

"O' God of Magic, ruler of mystical art,

I call upon you with earnest heart.

Grant me wisdom and knowledge deep,

So in your mysteries, we may take a leap."

The chant started.

Seeing that, a grave expression appeared on the swordsman's face, without thinking any further, he turned towards his only three surviving subordinates and ordered with a grim look on his face,

"Don't let her finish, that chant would spell the end of us."

With her entire party wiped out, there weren't a lot of things Veronica could do in a situation where 3 people were aiming for her while she was praying.

Or… at least, that's what the Swordsman thought.

What he forgot, however, was that the one he was up against was an Advance Mage, a being who carried endless knowledge. How could she not predict this possibility while facing all these people before?

Veronica was prepared.

*BOOOM*

As a Huge Fireball rushed towards Veronica, intending to destroy her before she could finish her chant, suddenly, a wall of Earth appeared around 10 meters away from her, blocking the complete attack.

The Swordsman's subordinates frowned, it wasn't possible for Veronica to cast a spell while she was chanting.

'Does she still have a companion?'

They couldn't help but wonder and started looking around.

The Swordsman, on the other hand, instantly knew what was up.

The woman had set up Artifacts.

No one knew when she did it, but it was probably when she was facing all of them before.

'Crazy bitch…'

The swordsman couldn't help but curse in his head.

To think that she was thinking of sacrificing her life in the battle from the start and was preparing for the said scenario…

It would not only mean that she was ready to die, but it also meant that the woman ordered the rest of her party to continue fighting knowing that they would die together with her.

The crazy bitch sacrificed them.

Learning about this, the man couldn't help but wonder who was the actual 'bad guy' here. Not that he had time to think about all this.

"Masters of Mana and Elements Four,

Grant me the strength and power to explore.

In your magical light, let me be blessed,

With your guidance, I am truly obsessed."

Veronica wasn't planning on stopping.

The Swordsman panicked as he then rushed towards the woman on his own, and since he knew the Artifacts were pre-

planted, he tried to take a path that Veronica wouldn't have thought he would take and took a huge detour to reach her…

…only to find around 100 Metal Spikes coming out of the ground, ready to pierce through his body. The Swordsman had no option but to dodge the Spikes, and since the Spikes were shot towards him in a specific manner, he had no option but to jump back, widening the distance between him and Veronica.

"Tsk."

He couldn't help but snort.

He had taken the long path in order to reach her and couldn't believe that not only had that woman accurately predicted where the final battle would take place, she had also predicted that he would try to change his path while rushing towards her and had prepared for that.

"I honor the gifts you bestow upon me,

In your realm, may I never cause a fuss.

Magic and wonder, in your name we plea,

Blessed be, oh God of Magic, so mote it be."

A huge amount of Faith Energy was gathered.

Vaan, who was watching the battle from everything from afar could easily tell the difference between the Faith Energy generated before and the Energy that was generated right now, the current Faith Energy gathered was almost thrice as huge as before.

And seeing that, he couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.

He felt as if the whirlpool of energy formed over Veronica's head was calling for him, honestly, Vaan would have given into his desire and walked out if it wasn't for Elara tightly holding his hand.

He turned towards his fiancée and saw her shaking her head, it was only then did he finally came out of his reverie, and the moment he did, he realized something and his eyes widened in shock,

"You guys!! Come back!"

He shouted as he glanced at Flamey and others who had already lost control over themselves and were rushing towards The Whirlpool of Energy in order to Devour it.
