Chapter 229: _Dark Magic Corruption
"H–How’s that possible?" Odessa asked with a trembling voice, staring at the screen with shock. "Is it live footage? Why... Why does it feel like she’s staring directly at us?"
I furrowed my eyebrows, glaring at the screen. The cloaked figure tilted her head, a sly smirk curling up her lips before the footage flickered once again.

"What sort of flimsy excuse is that?" I snapped at her, my voice low as I stepped forward. "It’s clear this has gone beyond your power. Call in the city leaders to see this."
Leticia glanced back at me, hesitation present in her eyes. My brows twitched with frustration, but before I could lash out, Odessa stepped forward as well, grabbing my wrist.
"Please, call them in now. I don’t understand what’s happening but something tells me your city has a mole. A spy who’s already corrupting things from the inside." Odessa muttered.
Her voice was soft and pleading, but there was still that flicker of hesitation in the witch scribe’s eyes.
’This whole thing screams trouble.’ I spoke to Odessa through the mind link. ’They’re transporting wolves, including children and that raven witch using lawless magic is leading the operation. Right under their noses.’
At that same moment, the entire screen glitched before flickering out of existence, leaving the wall on which it was projected empty.
The magic orb, which powered its projecting, stopped glowing with its usual white light as well, forcing the three of us to swerve our heads toward it.
"What the heck is happening now?" I asked physically this time.
