Chapter 148: A Conspiracy Against the Saintess
That scream caused many eyes in the chaotic scene to gather toward the stage, and even more people saw Weiss’s current appearance.
The knights on duty at the scene were also caught off guard by this inexplicable sudden incident, but after the commotion began, some of them still reacted and began handling the situation.
The Fully Appointed Knight serving as the captain of the guard raised his hand and hurled a fireball into the air. Normally, flames could disperse these bat-shaped Magical Beasts, but this time it had no obvious effect.
These artificially created Magical Beasts were firmly controlled by Arachne, the Insect Queen through will-based manipulation.
The Apprentice Knights struggled to maintain order, but when faced with thousands of people falling into fear due to the harassment of Magical Beasts, the results were minimal. People had already begun dying in the crowd from the venom of spider-type Magical Beasts, and the congestion and trampling further worsened the situation.
Most people’s attention was on the Bloodsucking Mosquito Bats, yet they did not realize that the real danger was the poisonous spiders scurrying around their feet.
The Church personnel on the stands could not remain uninvolved either and rushed down to help, but the chaos at the scene had already far exceeded what they could handle.
“Bishop Weiss!”
Several knights also reacted and rushed onto the lecture platform, attempting to assist the attacked Bishop Weiss.
