Chapter 42 – The Loli Saint and Black Magic (2/2)
She successfully won over public opinion, and the Saint raised her mouth slightly. Now, no one remembers that she originally wanted to kill Tennyson because she was called a “Snow Witch”.
“Tennyson, do you still have anything you want to say?”
“No, no… no, it wasn’t like that! At that time… at the time… right! I remember!” Tennyson was desperate, and finally remembered something as he was about to die, his bloodshot eyes were darting back and forth. “Saint, I didn’t cower! I don’t know why but I fell into a short coma, like some sort of black magic… Yes, someone must have secretly used black magic to control my consciousness so I couldn’t complete the circuit formation!”
“Black magic?” The girl sneered. “What do you mean? These are the most loyal followers of the goddess of light. Do you suspect that one of us can use black magic?”
“No, no… but it was definitely black magic. I’m absolutely not mistaken! Saint, please believe me!”
“Enough! How foolish, what black magic, shouldn’t you have tried to come up with a better excuse? Or are you trying to say that I used black magic to interfere with your thoughts?”
“Eh?” Hearing her mockery, Tennyson was not only unashamed, but had a sudden realization.
Of everyone present, if there was anyone who could use black magic, the only one who’s capable is the Saint herself ——
That day, she wasn’t too far from the boundary. If it was her, there was definitely a chance to quietly cast black magic to interfere with the squad, and stealthily destroy the boundary, and no one would even suspect her!
There were rumors before that the Saint did not want to kill the demon, but to let it go. Now it seems like that rumor was 80% true!
“Don’t tell me… it was you?” Tennyson was frightened by his own guess.
No matter how you put it, she was a true Saint, or was the Goddess of Light also blind to let such a wicked person who mastered black magic to pass the Saint Selection and earn the title of Saint?
Even if she was called “The Snow Witch”, she would not be so depraved!
“Hehe, since you weren’t successful with your excuses, now you want to smear the reputation of this Saint?” She issued the final order, “Captain, shut him up, drag this coward to the forest and execute him!”
“Yes, Saint!”
“Snow Witch, it was definitely you! I remember, it was you! You cast black magic on me, destroyed the boundary, and deliberately let the demon go! You’re all being deceived! Deceived, I tell you. !……Mm! Mmmh! Mmmmh!!”
Bam.
The left and right guards clenched their fists and smashed it on Tennyson’s face. His face quickly became distorted, not only breaking teeth, but making him vomit blood, and he couldn’t say anything anymore.
Soon, the mute Tennyson was dragged into the forest, accompanied by a muffled voice, and his head fell.
“Sigh, I really hate these clever fellows. He even knew of black magic? If I let him say anymore, that really might have been troublesome.”
Saying that, there was a strange strand of blackish purple light within her right hand, but it was hidden under the cover of the gorgeous white robes, and did not attract anyone’s attention.
“Tennyson, if not for the fact that you didn’t have enough willpower and you weren’t pious enough to the goddess, my black magic would not have worked on you. You were the only one of the 20 believers deploying the boundary that was affected by the black magic, so the only one you can blame is yourself.” The Saint mumbled to herself.
At this time, the captain returned with his left and right guards.
“Saint, he has been disposed of! It’s all because of Tennyson that our mission has failed!”
“All because of him? Oh, yes, it was all his fault.” And so, the Saint found someone to take the fall. “After going back, that’s what we’ll tell Great Sage Bellco.”
“Yes, Saint!”
“Good work, Captain.” She nodded with satisfaction. “Oh yes, I heard that the hunting team at Loran Academy seems to be in the north part of Black Lake Forest?”
“Yes, Saint, the new students in the Department of Magic led by the grand magician Woos is conducting an actual combat drill. Their mission seems to be… hunting Jackalweres!”
“Jackalweres? Hehe, I understand.”
The storm ended once Tennyson died, no one dared to say anything bad. The Saint informed everyone to continue on, preparing to report the situation to the Great Sage Bellco.
Before she left, while looking at the eerie and frightening Black Lake Forest, the Saint whispered something to herself.
“I took a big risk this time.”
“I really hope that the cute little cat will meet you, otherwise, it would have been a waste of effort.”
“Perhaps, this is fate?”
“Please don’t blame me Lin Xiao, this is all for the sake of your dreams!”
