章 265: Crimson Dawn (4)

My blade stopped mid air as I beat my wings and put some distance between me and Uriithe. My gaze snapped towards the source of the voice – the blonde priestess standing on the far side of the Plaza.

Her white and golden dress fit her perfectly. Despite the wind tugging at her clothes and blowing her hair around, she looked near perfect – just like a puppet of Uriithe would look like.

"…Alina?" I heard Vincent mumble as the last of the Ereth soldiers was felled by Fetheion. The young man stumbled towards her, only to be stopped by Erik.

"Is it true, Alina?" The young paladin asked, his voice heavy, his expression dark. "Were you the one who killed Kai?"

The treacherous priestess tightened her grasp around her golden staff. "I killed a demon who had fallen to darkness!" She shouted, her voice echoing throughout the city. "The same demon who failed to save Samantha!"

Vincent flinched. He glanced at me, only to see my flames flare up.
