Chapter 263: How Did She Die!
Olivia nodded, she knew they saw Lilliana as a traitor. The barrier shimmered faintly when they walked closer. Damon instinctively stepped in front of Olivia, his hands reaching for the hilt of his sword. But Liliana raised her palm and stopped him.
"Their sword meant nothing to them. It could not stop them." Damon hesitated as he let go of the sword and nodded. Only when liliana was sure that he would not make a hasty mistake that she smiled back and whispered a soft incantation. The barrier parted like fog curling away from the wind.
The grove revealed itself slowly. There were small houses cloaked in tree roots, smoke wafting from hidden chimneys, the scent of herbs and firewood drifting in the air.
"That is as far as I can go with you." Lilliana took a step back. Olivia nodded and inhaled. Lilliana vanished from there in the next second.
Olivia took a step inside followed by Damon who watched closely. Two guardian witches standing on both sides of the entrance were shocked to see Olivia there.
"What are you doing here?" the witches took out their weapons instantly but they dare not attack. Everyone knew not only Olivia had killed a witch but absorbed her powers.
"How dare you show your face here?"
"Because I want answers," Olivia said coolly. "I want to speak to Meridia. I won’t let this turn into another war."
The witch’s voice cracked with venom. "You have already started one when you killed one of us. You betrayed your kind again. Do you even know what you are?"
