Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 18 Chaos

Herag put away the pocket watch; the Holy Healing spell was more powerful than he had imagined.

Such a terrible bloodline curse was actually dispelled.

Casting Holy Light consumes 45% of his mana, and he only has enough mana left to cast it one more time.

"This is..." Emil thought he was going to die.

Herag explained, "This pocket watch has a spell on it that can dispel the curse."

"I see. It seems that magic isn't all that terrifying." Emil's mood hadn't recovered yet; what he had just experienced was enough to cast a shadow over his entire life.

There were hardly any people around, only a pile of corpses.

The rest of the castle was in chaos, with shouts and screams filling the air.

The trees fell and the hozens scattered.

After Baron Buck fell, in addition to the people who were already lying in ambush outside, even the guards and servants inside the castle were scrambling to move the valuables out of the castle.

Apart from Melissa, all the blood relatives of Baron Baron's family in the entire castle were dead, so it was as if there was no master.

Melissa is still in deep grief, and it's uncertain whether she will ever recover.

"Melissa, let's bury the Baron and the others first." Emil composed himself, no longer caring about the others.

The deceased is gone, and the treasure is not important. The most important thing right now is to comfort Melissa.

"I'm going to check on old Henry. I'll come back to find you later," Herag said before heading to the back garden.

With the situation so chaotic and old Henry unable to move, Herrag feared he might be in danger.

Along the way, Hrag encountered many panicked people. Many guards, clutching gold bars, pearl necklaces, or similar items, glanced at Hrag with guilty eyes. Seeing that Hrag didn't say anything, they quickly lowered their heads and ran away.

"Help...no..."

As Herag passed by a house, he discovered a guard raping a maid inside; the maid's clothes were torn to shreds.

"Serves you right for looking down on me before! You even rejected me after I pursued you..." The guard's face was full of hostility.

Herag silently took the longbow from his back, shot an arrow through the window, and took the life of the guard.

The maid, panting after the ordeal, looked out the window and saw only Helag's departing figure.

A strong stench of blood filled the room. The maid clutched her chest and fled, while the guard lay face up in a pool of blood.

Such scenes were occurring throughout the castle, creating utter chaos.

On the way to the back garden, Herag also found the body of a guard, with some pearls scattered around it, clearly indicating that a fight had taken place over valuables.

A person came running out of the back garden in a hurry. Herag looked closely and saw that it was Mary, who was taking care of old Henry.

"Mary!" Herag roared.

Mary shuddered in fright, and when she saw Herag, she became even more panicked and ran away.

An old woman like her couldn't possibly outrun Helag, who caught up with her in just two steps.

"Why are you running? Where's old Henry?" Herag demanded.

Mary's eyes darted around, avoiding Herag's gaze: "He...he's asleep."

"Asleep? Come with me inside." Herag grabbed Mary by the neck and led her into the back garden.

Inside the room, the bow still hung on the wall, and old Henry lay on the bed, looking as if he were indeed asleep.

There was a glass of wine on the bedside table; it looked like the wine that had been distributed today.

When Herag approached, he found that old Henry was already dead.

"How did he die?" Herag asked.

"He...he..." Mary stammered nervously, "He drank a glass of wedding wine this morning and then fell asleep, and I didn't think much of it. Later, when there was trouble at the castle, I went to wake him and found that he had already passed away."

"Deep Blue, detect the cause of death."

"Test results complete. Death was due to natural causes; homicide has been ruled out."

Herag felt a little better; at least he hadn't died in pain.

"Go now." Herag released Mary.

Mary backed away while constantly glancing at Herag, fearing he might suddenly turn violent and kill her.

The sound of multiple footsteps came from outside, along with a voice that Helag recognized.

"Melissa isn't dead, and I don't know why she isn't. Come on, I'll lead the way. Right now, she only has Emil with her. Young Master David, tonight you can ride and ravage your enemy's daughter."

"The voice of Butler Evan." Herag made his way to the back garden, jumped onto the roof, and observed.

Ivan followed behind a blond young man with a fawning expression; behind them was a squad of fully armed men.

There were four knight-level powerhouses in this group.

Herag quickly made his way up the rooftops to the square where the banquet was being held, where Emil and Melissa had just finished cleaning up the bodies of their people.

"Emir, Ivan brought..." Herag recounted what he had seen.

"David? He must be Simon's eldest son. I'm going to kill him!" Melissa exclaimed emotionally.

Emil hugged her and said, "You hide first, Herag and I will handle this."

Melissa, surprisingly, calmed down at this moment: "I'll wait for you."

She knew she couldn't be of much help, so she forced herself to calm down.

Herag jumped onto the roof and found a suitable sniping position.

Emil lay in wait on another rooftop, ready to adapt to the situation.

David swaggered in with a group of people, his face full of smugness.

With the death of Baron Buck, the great knight, he believed that no one could threaten him anymore.

"Our two families have been fighting for over a hundred years, and in the end, we've won! Hahaha!" David couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They only lost one person, but Buck's side was completely wiped out.

Herag was hiding on a rooftop far away, his bowstring taut and his arrows gleaming with a cold, sharp light.

To be on the safe side, he also poisoned the arrows.

The arrow flew out with a whoosh, and David, still laughing, was completely unaware of the impending danger.

The knight behind him sensed danger, but he didn't know where the danger came from.

The knight raised his hand, about to remind David, "Young master..."

An arrow pierced David's throat, and blood spurted out.

"Young Master!" Four knights quickly surrounded David and protected him.

But by then it was too late to turn the tide. David pointed to the sky, and without uttering a single word, he collapsed.

"Well……"

Butler Evan clutched his throat in terror, blood bubbling from his mouth, and collapsed as well.

"Get out of the way!" someone shouted.

The crowd began to disperse, each seeking cover.

Emil charged down from the roof at that moment, with Hrag providing long-range support; their teamwork was already very familiar.

With Helag's unerring archery and Emil's exceptional close-combat skills, this group was no match for him.

Just ten minutes later, Herag put away his steel bow and joined Emil in cleaning up the battlefield to make sure no one was still alive.
