Chapter 1652
“Stop!” I shouted.
It all happened so quickly that no one was able to react. The Inquisitor leaped forward, a knife being pulled from her robes. Cici tried to move, and the Inquisitor sliced right through her. She cried out as she fell to the side. It was Eliana she was lunging for. Eliana only managed a step back before she grabbed onto her, and then spun her around with a knife to her neck.
The room turned into a cacophony as Alysia and First pulled their weapons. The lionesses outside heard the commotion and several ran in too. This pushed the Inquisitor back until she was in a corner, her knife held to Eliana’s neck as she held her in the corner.
“What are you doing?” Anne cried out.
“Hehe… my job…” She laughed.
“M-mast…” That was the only word I heard as I looked down to see Cici convulsing on the ground.
“What’s wrong with her?” Chance cried out, falling to her knees and grabbing the other girl.
She pulled open her dress where it was cut, revealing a wound that was quickly growing dark, black tendrils reaching out from the wound menacingly.
“Malacrum,” I growled.
Anne gave me a look, and I nodded. She went down to her knees and began casting spells. Cici’s body glowed for a moment, and her convulsions decreased, but her wound was still growing.
“She’s quite resistant to miasma. A normal person would have already been dead.” The inquisitor chuckled, then shot the others a warning glare as she held the knife against Eliana’s neck.
First and Alysia stiffened, but they did hold back.
