Chapter 363: Deaths
If Maddox weren't in a drunken state, he would've been more vigilant and cast [Fire Shield] spell in ti to block the arrow.
Unfortunately, he failed to notice it.
By the ti he saw the arrow, it already arrived near his right side neck.
Then, it directly tore through his neck while slicing the internal carotid arteries and appeared on the other side!
With a shocked face, he clutched the wounded neck and tried to open his mouth but couldn't!
Crimson blood dripped down from his neck, painted his shirt and pants.
anwhile, his body staggered for a mont and soon fell on the dirt road.
He gasped for a few seconds and soon went motionless.
At that mont, a thief-looking man watched the falling Maddox from afar and soon sucked in a cold breath.
Shock and alarm appeared on his face.
He was one of Percy's n who tailed Maddox earlier!
'What is she?! How did she predict this?' He muttered to himself in panic.
Without any delay, he turned around and started running towards the Second District direction.
…
During this ti, Charles leisurely walked on the street road, stopped in front of so random people from ti to ti, and gave them prophecy-like words.
Among those unlucky ones, he also found a rare gem.
That person's title was 'Chaos Maiden' and had so unique status.
Although she had only five bloodline spells, all of those spells were chaos fire spells!
'Oh? She also has genius-level affinity!' He gave her similar prophecy-like words and started walking on his own.
…
Hazel Street, Vermillion Section, First District, City of Red.
A brown-haired woman in her late 20s walked on the Hazel Street road and wore an anxious look on her face. She wore a silver-like armor dress, held a spear in her hand, and appeared in deep thoughts.
She tied her long hair in a loose ball at the back of her head and looked more like a fighter woman. She had almond amber eyes, a Nubian nose, and a pear-shaped face.
Her na was Nora.
Like many other helpers of the First District, she enrolled in the city garrison a few years ago and beca a knight of a royal family.
Unfortunately, she got demoted due to an incident and later transferred to the First District as a patrol guard.
Her duty was to collect the house taxes, arrest any suspicious individuals entering the street and control the street thugs' activities.
Her job was not a hard one.
But today, she bumped into a strange woman while she was on her way ho and received prophecy-like words.
"You'll be pulled into random fighting and die like a street dog, Chaos Maiden. If you want to live, kill anyone who gets close to you. Do not avoid the fighting."
Although she didn't believe the young woman's words, she still couldn't get off the uneasy feeling in her heart.
'I'm a Rank-3 Warlock! I'm not afraid of so random thugs.' She muttered to herself and continued to walk on the dirt road.
Along the way, she t many of her acquaintances and greeted them while waving her hand.
Most of them were the residents of Hazel Street, so she felt a sense of relief.
This street was more like her ho.
'But what if that woman's words were true? Moreover, how did she know my nickna?' She couldn't help but tighten the grip of her spear.
Although the residents of this street were polite and kind, Nora knew that they would never co out of their ho and help her if she got pulled into a battle.
'In the end, I've no choice but to rely on myself, huh.' She muttered inwardly and decided to follow the strange woman's words.
It was not out of curiosity but out of the fear of losing her life.
She then walked past many people while distancing herself from others and even maintained constant vigilance.
After walking for a while, she saw a group of thugs walking towards her from the opposite direction.
No, she noticed two groups of thugs were walking together and seed to be fiercely arguing about sothing.
Upon seeing this scene, a strange chill went up to her spine!
'Damn it, should I walk in the opposite direction?' She firmly shook that thought and moved forward.
anwhile, the thugs' argunt got fiercer and fiercer, and soon all of them took out their weapons.
At that mont, Nora also arrived near them and ready for any unexpected attacks.
Just as she had expected, all those thugs suddenly started attacking one another.
Daggers and short swords clashed against each other, sending sparks in all directions.
But none used any magic spells!
It was as if they were holding off while battling against each other.
While Nora got closer towards them, so thugs shifted their attention towards her direction and pounced at her.
If it were before, she would have panicked a bit and retreated in fear.
But now, she held her grip and aid at the incoming opponents.
Then, she stumped her left foot, cast [Fire Enchantnt] spell on the spear, and thrust it at full force.
At that mont, her tallic spear suddenly glowed in red color and sent out scorching heatwaves.
The next second, the spear tip tore through the air, stabbed into the thug's neck, and reappeared on the other side!
It was an instant kill!
Upon seeing this, almost all of those thugs paused in surprise and turned their gaze towards her in shock.
Even though these two gangs would always fight for petty things, they would never kill each other!
It was a rule!
But the presence of this unknown female guard changed everything!
Before the nearby thugs could wake up from the shock, Nora twisted her spear, made a whirling stance, and slashed it at the nearby thugs.
Like a flash of lightning, the spear tip moved at a fast speed and slashed the nearby thugs' throats like butchering knives.
In two seconds, more than five thugs clutched their necks and started falling with staggering footsteps!
anwhile, Nora pulled her spear, lowered the tip towards the ground, and stared at them with a deadly gaze.
On the other hand, all those thugs got perplexed by the situation and looked at each other in confusion.
No, there was a hint of fear that appeared on their faces.
"One more step, I'll kill all of you." Her cold voice reverberated in the street.
At that mont, even the two gang leaders got intimidated by her!
A strange silence appeared on the street road.
anwhile, a strange chaotic red fire manifested behind Nora and started to take shape into wings!
'She is not a normal Helper.' Such thought crossed in all of those thugs' heads.
"C-Chaos Maiden!" A random thug suddenly recognized her and cried out in shock.
On the other hand, all other thugs took a step back and stared at her warily.
Her nickna ca after she confronted an unruly Paragon youngster and gave him a good beating.
Because of that, the officials demoted her title and transferred her to the rural street as a patrol guard.
After so thought, the thugs took a step back and started backing off.
Although so thugs showed unwillingness, they didn't oppose the superiors' orders and backed off.
Soon, the whole group of thugs disappeared from her sight, leaving six bloodied corpses behind.
'Is it over?' Nora stabbed the spear's tip on the dirt road and glanced around to see the mysterious young woman.
Similar incidents started to unfold in different parts of the city.
Most of the people who heard the mysterious woman's prophetic words managed to survive, while the rest ended up dying.
So died because of random accidents, so died of heart attacks and so committed suicide for so personal reasons, and so on.
By the end of the day, more than 800 Red Humans died, causing a great commotion all over the city!
