"boom!"
The fireball touched something and exploded on the spot.
The explosion created a huge gust of wind that forced Eden to back away, his face showing shock.
That seemed to be the power of the wind? But wasn't that the power of an elf?
"Don't let him report this."
Before Eden could figure out what was going on, a woman's voice came over.
At the same time, Eileen rushed over quickly, and her sword, flashing with a cold light, slashed down at Eden. Even before it touched him, Eden felt as if his body was about to be torn apart.
Daring not to let his mind wander any further, Eden shouted, "Ice Shield!"
Eden's faith is undoubtedly a celebration of fire and ice, possessing the power of fire and ice.
A towering ice shield appeared before Eden, helping him withstand Eileen's attack. However, after enduring Eileen's attack, the ice shield was immediately covered with cracks.
'Hiss... How can her attack be so strong?'
Eden's expression immediately turned even uglier. He quickly stepped back, while simultaneously trying to release more fireballs into the air to call for help.
However, given the previous situation, Eileen would naturally not allow Eden to successfully send out a distress signal. As soon as Eden made a distress move, she would immediately unleash her sword energy to destroy the distress signal.
Seeing that Eileen had completely overpowered Eden, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief.
After watching for a while, Amelia frowned slightly.
She noticed that although Eileen had suppressed Eden, it didn't seem to be able to quickly determine a winner.
Eden is, after all, a mid-level apostle, and he also has defensive capabilities like an ice shield, so it will take some time to deal with him.
At that moment, someone in the domed building where slaves were imprisoned not far away seemed to have noticed the commotion and came out.
Chapter 21 The Sigh of the Wind
Those guys were slave guards, just ordinary people.
At this moment, Eileen was dealing with Eden and didn't have time to deal with those people, but those people absolutely couldn't sit idly by either, otherwise they might spread the news about this place.
Amelia knew it was time to take matters into her own hands.
Although she came from a peaceful world and had never killed anyone, after experiencing so much and witnessing so many bloody scenes since transmigrating, she knew it was time for her to take that step.
"They are all damned people."
Amelia whispered as she hurried toward that direction.
After becoming a prospective apostle, Amelia has mastered her first ability, called the Sigh of the Wind. This ability allows her to gather the power of the wind and transform it into arrows that can be shot from a bow, possessing considerable penetrating power.
She had previously thwarted Eden's plan to seek help by using the Sigh of the Wind.
Of course, she couldn't break the fireball of the middle-level apostle, but the fireball had the characteristic of exploding upon contact with anything, which is why she was able to stop it.
As she approached the domed building, Amelia gripped the Silver Moon tightly in her hand.
As she got closer, she could hear a lot of noise coming from inside the domed building, such as "Let me leave," "You are all liars," and "You are simply demons."
Those people were poor souls forced to wander due to the war. They thought they had met kind people who could make their lives better, but they never expected it to be an infuriating scam. They were treated like slaves.
If no one intervenes, one can imagine their future lives: they will be whipped, punished, and suffer all kinds of pain until they finally become obedient and become true slaves.
Amelia is very close to the dome.
At the entrance of the domed building, several people stood outside, looking in the direction where Eileen and Eden were fighting.
The sigh of the wind!
Amelia raised the Silver Moon and aimed it in that direction, pulling back the slender bowstring. The power of the wind gathered on it, transforming it into a blue arrow.
"Whoosh!"
As Amelia released her grip, the arrow flew out and landed with remarkable accuracy on a person's thigh.
"Ah ah ah..."
The man let out a scream.
Seeing this, Amelia raised an eyebrow. She was clearly aiming at another person's head, so why did it deviate and land on the thigh of another person who was three people away?
After accurately hitting Eden's fireball signal, Amelia thought she had a talent for shooting, but now it seems that it was just luck.
The people at the entrance of the domed building also noticed Amelia at this moment.
"It's an apostle, let's go quickly."
Without hesitation, the group turned around and headed back into the domed building.
"Instead of escaping outside, they're going back into this building?"
As Amelia chased after them, she unleashed Wind's Sigh once more, sending a barrage of arrows flying. Though their accuracy was appalling, the rapid rate of fire still managed to kill two people.
It wasn't long before Amelia entered the domed building.
The building was very spacious inside, with a very high ceiling, but it was also very dark. Not a single light was on, and there were no windows to let in moonlight, making it impossible to see anything inside.
Amelia channeled her divine power to her eyes, which allowed her to see the situation more clearly.
Chapter 22 Liberation
Becoming an apostle grants one divine power, which is primarily used to unleash abilities. However, circulating divine power throughout the body can also provide some enhancement, though the degree of enhancement is not significant.
After channeling her divine power to her eyes, Amelia was finally able to see the situation inside the domed building.
Inside the spacious building, the most striking feature is the numerous iron cages, so many that it's impossible to count them all at once.
Inside the iron cage were homeless people who had been tricked into coming here. After discovering that they were locked in the cage, they angrily started smashing the cage, showing both anger and fear, not knowing what kind of life they would face in the future.
As for the guards, they sneaked into a corner in the dark, probably trying to escape Amelia's pursuit.
Clearly, they did not understand that this level of darkness would have no effect on an apostle, even a prospective apostle.
Upon seeing those figures, Amelia immediately raised the Silver Moon and aimed it in that direction, gathering the power of the wind.
The sigh of the wind!
"Whoosh!"
The arrow flew past and pierced through a man's back, causing him to scream in agony.
The piercing scream startled everyone else, who quickly distanced themselves from the source of the scream.
Little did they know, Amelia was watching their every move.
Amelia approached directly and unleashed a Wind Sigh at close range, quickly killing all the guards before her eyes.
By this time, the interior of the building was completely quiet, and even the homeless people locked in the iron cages were no longer making a fuss.
Because they all heard an extremely shrill scream.
They didn't know what was happening. Everything was dark, and they couldn't see anything except for screams. This made them cower in a corner, trembling, and dare not make a sound.
After Amelia dealt with the guards, she went over to the corpse and found a set of keys.
'Have I actually gotten somewhat used to having corpses at close range?'
Amelia thought about it silently.
Holding the key, Amelia arrived at an iron cage. She could see that there were more than a dozen people locked up together inside, all huddled in a corner, afraid to make a sound.
Amelia didn't say much, but simply tossed the key into the iron cage, the sound of the key hitting the ground being very crisp and clear.
"Release everyone."
Amelia left those words behind, and without waiting for any response from the people in the iron cage, she turned and left.
After stepping out of the domed building, Amelia looked towards Eileen and saw Eileen shatter Eden's ice shield with a single sword strike, leaving a bloody wound on Eden's chest.
The intense pain caused Eden to scream, and she quickly retreated.
But Eileen wouldn't let this opportunity slip by, and she caught up with him in no time.
Her eyes were cold, but the sword was even colder, slicing straight through Eden's head and sending it flying.
A ray of moonlight fell upon her, her silver hair danced in the air, and she appeared serene and aloof.
“We should go, Eileen. Take his alchemical equipment with you,” Amelia said as she jogged over.
Seeing that Amelia was alright, Eileen breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly took the alchemical equipment from Eden's hand, along with a stack of Kel that had fallen out of his clothes, and then left the place with Amelia.
Chapter 23 Yes, it was me.
That night.
After Amelia and Eileen left Eden's mansion, they avoided the soldiers on the street and headed straight for the north city wall. Taking advantage of the fact that the patrolmen on the city wall had gone far away, Eileen carried Amelia and they escaped.
Shortly after the two left, Falcon City descended into chaos.
Large numbers of homeless people poured out of Eden's mansion, angrily accusing him of being a big liar.
Because of the large number of people involved, the allied forces of the three countries could not ignore the matter and had to go to Eden's mansion to quell the chaos, where they discovered the dead Eden and most of his men.
Furthermore, they found traces of elven activity on some of the corpses, immediately leading them to suspect the presence of envoys from the elven royal court.
Did the elves do this?
==========
The next day, a drunken Yuna Sidney emerged from the alley, clutching her head.
"I've finally found you, Miss Sidney!"
Yuna was still not fully awake when she heard someone calling her. She looked up in confusion and saw many people walking towards her on the street, who started talking to her non-stop as soon as they came over.
Soon more people arrived, including the remaining elves from the elf envoy group.
After listening for a while, Yuna understood what was going on. She rubbed her head and said, "You said that an elf killed a slave owner yesterday. Do you think I did it?"
"Miss Sidney, didn't you do it?"
