Chapter 838: A deal with the Priestess (1/2)
Nike forcefully came out of the temple as the body resisted.
”Everyone get out and block the arrows, not one rock could be damaged from the temple. Go now.”
She ordered in a loud bellowing voice, which surprised the people a little bit, but they still went on with it and started following the orders.
The priestess in the air was shocked when she looked at her.
”Goddess, why are you outside? Was Grace saved?”
”My temple is in this state and you are talking about a stupid girl? Go and capture those two. I don't want anything to happen to my temple.”
Her voice is hysterical and she even sounded a bit mad.
The priestess was dumbfounded.
At this moment, she understood why Silva wanted to keep this hidden from Nike. She might be a god-level person, but she is an unbelievably self-centered woman.
The man who served and worshipped her for his whole life begged her to save his daughter even at the expense of his lifespan and she is using that body to capture someone so that they wouldn't damage her temple.
The stupid temple which people built for her out of reverence.
This caused her to feel disgusted about herself for sacrificing everything to become a priestess in that temple.
”Goddess, Please Save grace. I will do anything to protect your temple.”
”I don't care.”
”But…”
”Get out and capture them. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this planet anymore. I am the only way out for you guys from here. Otherwise, you will live and die here with the limitations placed on you.”
The priestess was dumbfounded. She didn't know what to do. But at this moment, the golden glow over Silva which indicated her presence dimmed a bit and Silva seemed to have taken over the body for a second.
”I asked you to save my daughter, if you don't do it now, I will kill both of them.”
”How dare you say to threaten me? Your place as a dog is to stay at my feet and lick them clean when I ask you to. I will make your daughter die and make you watch it.”
”I told you to save my daughter. Otherwise, I swear that I would kill them both at any cost. Even if I have to destroy my body and die in the process. I will kill them both and let you suffer from the consequences.”
Both of them argued as they tried their best to take control of the body for themselves.
The priestess looked at Silva with a complicated gaze.
Meanwhile, the troops already left the temple, while Sam and Arkiv left the spot.
The Ghouls and Wights are standing within the circle as the death energy will only be a nutrient to them. There they can fight without the fear of getting exhausted.
The feathered didn't enter the zone of the circle yet as they are afraid of what would happen. But the Wights and Ghouls that can shoot are not really worried about anything. They are shooting the spikes and cannons like they were playing a game.
Sam and Arkiv who escaped into the forest took some good positions and started doing their own thing.
Sam kicked the balls into the group while Arkiv is shooting them down.
The feathered are falling like birds that are being shot.
The feathered that fell into the circle is as good as dead and turned into undead becoming an addition to the circle.
The feathered now understood what kind of mistake they did by not dealing with Sam when they had a chance and letting him make this circle.
They now only waited for the order to retreat at the moment, but that order never came.
Priestess is busy by now as he started helping Silva to calm himself down.
Because by now due to the struggle between the goddess and him, his body is being damaged constantly, he is bleeding from his nose, ears and eyes as he struggled with his own body and tried to get back in.
Nike and him are struggling like crazy.
”Save my daughter. Save my daughter. Save my daughter.”
This is the only thing coming out of his mouth as if he is possessed.
Priestess looked at the struggle and couldn't help but feel a sense of heartache.
She ran back after him to look at Grace who is still being burned by the grey flames.
”How dare you defy me? I will make you watch your daughter die and I will condemn your branch of the race to eternal damnation. I will place the new rules on this world. I will make you die if you cultivate past Pre-transcendent and I will torture your soul if you don't cultivate at all.
I will make all of you die miserable deaths.”
Nike yelled as she turned around and stabbed Priestess in the abdomen with her palm.
