So I Became a Witch and Started Doing Daily Quests Chapter 348 : Dark Sun Blockade

Chapter 348: Dark Sun Blockade

"You can choose not to eat it, Lilith-Mag."

As Grace Eva swallowed the white worm, her body, which had been feverish due to the high temperature, quickly cooled down.

Even the Darksun Contamination hidden deep within her soul faded away.

"Cough, cough!!"

With a bout of violent coughing, a chunk of foul-slling flesh was spat straight out from Grace Eva’s mouth.

"Thank you, Mary Margaret."

"You’re welco——I just hope that every ti you insist on pushing yourself, I happen to be right beside you."

Seeing that Grace Eva’s complexion had returned to normal, Mary Margaret stood up and then spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"How are the remaining rcenaries in Turin City doing?"

Ignoring Mary Margaret’s sarcasm, Grace Eva, who also stood up, acted as though she hadn’t heard a thing and asked about sothing else instead.

"Don’t worry, I’ve already put them all into the Candy House——As long as I don’t die, they won’t die."

To lure out the “Evil God Vessel,” Grace Eva had co up with a particularly ruthless plan: post a mission in the rcenary Guild ahead of ti, using extraordinary rcenaries as bait.

This was also why Harry and the others didn’t follow the residents of the southern district of Turin City to take shelter at the White Coral Academy.

After all, as a group that lived on the edge year-round, many rcenary squads, upon seeing the “high reward” mission Grace Eva posted, still chose to stay and “gamble with their lives” without hesitation.

Fortunately, because “Nina” wasn’t the real Evil God Vessel, there wasn’t a large-scale Blood Sacrifice Ritual.

Unfortunately, the two half-elf siblings from the Blackthorn rcenary Squad beca sacrifices in this “bait plan” and lost their lives in vain.

Moreover, Grace Eva’s misjudgnt most likely allowed the real “Evil God Vessel” to leave Turin City.

"It seems the Darksun Church’s sche is far bigger than we imagined."

Looking at the endless darkness shrouding the sky, an obscure and unreadable emotion flashed through Grace Eva’s eyes.

"Right now, the most urgent task is still to break through the Darksun blockade as soon as possible—And the key to breaking through lies in that undead with divine power."

嘩啦啦-

—一Waves surged high, white bones standing like a forest.

Hearing the fierce sounds of battle still raging within the bone wall, Grace Eva and the others exchanged quick glances.

Then they leapt into the encirclent of the bone wall and joined the fight together——

anwhile, at the White Coral Academy.

After several hours of work, the residents of Turin’s southern district were finally settled.

However, looking at the densely packed crowd before her, Janna Roland couldn’t shake a suffocating feeling, as though dark clouds lood over her heart.

"Master, your divination result this ti was ‘No’."

Clutching the Silver Surrel in her hand, Janna Roland’s expression grew even more grave upon hearing the divination result from the Radiant Dream Butterfly.

"Still unable to escape danger?"

What Janna Roland had asked the Radiant Dream Butterfly to divine earlier was: Will I make it through today safely?

The Radiant Dream Butterfly’s answer made Janna realize that even though she had taken refuge inside the White Coral Academy, the danger shadowing her hadn’t disappeared.

"Could it be that the situation in Turin City is so bad that even if the formal wizards of the three major academies joined forces, they still couldn’t stop the Ritual of Divine Descension?"

As soone privy to inside information, Janna indeed knew more than most.

The reason the three major wizard academies had gone to such lengths to evacuate Turin City’s population was precisely to disrupt the Darksun Church’s Ritual of Divine Descension.

Based on the clues they had gathered, this ti the Darksun Church’s thod of “Divine Descension” was not like the last ti, where they directly perford a blood sacrifice on wizard apprentices to seize a body.

Instead, they used a more covert and harder-to-detect thod to complete the descent—

"Who would have thought that the child in Elena’s womb, soon to be born, would turn out to be the vessel for an evil god’s descent?"

Nine months of pregnancy, nine months of planning.

If Janna hadn’t stumbled upon this matter during her last mission—thanks to the Radiant Dream Butterfly’s ability to foresee events—then until the evil god truly descended, even the formal wizards within Turin’s wizard gathering might have remained completely in the dark.

After all, before the 【Ritual of Divine Descension】 officially began, even if a formal wizard investigated the unborn child in Elena’s womb, they would find nothing unusual—unless their perception ability far exceeded the norm.

At that thought, the first person to co to Janna’s mind was Anthony-Rook.

With just one glance, Anthony-Rook had been able to discern that Janna possessed a 【Law Fragnt】, and he had even gifted her a 【White Bone dal】 on the spot for self-defense.

Janna believed that if Anthony-Rook hadn’t been injured, his extraordinary perception alone would have been enough to detect sothing unusual about Elena at the early stage of the plague outbreak in Turin City.

"The timing of Headmaster Anthony’s injury coincides suspiciously well with the outbreak of the Turin plague."

As if a sudden realization struck her, Janna’s dark-as-ink eyes widened unconsciously.

"Could it be that the Bloodred Archduke’s initial target wasn’t , but Headmaster Anthony——"

"Janna——"

Just as Janna was reconstructing the events in her mind, a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"What is it, Senior Hugh-Stone?"

Seeing that the newcor was Hugh-Stone, Janna turned to ask.

"The apprentices guarding the back mountain said that since just now, many people have been suffering sudden high fevers and collapsing into comas due to the plague."

"High fevers and collapse? Just now?"

"Yes, and all of it happened suddenly——Professor Uta has already gone over."

Hearing Hugh-Stone’s account, the suffocating feeling in Janna’s heart grew heavier, as if water was flooding up to her chest, making her breathing rougher.

"What did Professor Uta say? Does he need to head over right now and assist in the rescue?"

"Not exactly——He told us to seal off the back mountain imdiately and work with him to set up a sealing barrier to prevent the plague from spreading."

"Seal off—the back mountain?"

Upon hearing Hugh-Stone’s words, the first thought in Janna’s mind wasn’t about quarantining patients... but rather that Professor Uta might have discovered so unknown danger in the back mountain.

"Could it be that Elena also entered the White Coral Academy with the crowd——But that doesn’t seem realistic."

As the central hub of the magic tower barrier that protected Turin’s wizard gathering, the three major wizard academies had overwhelming power in suppressing Darksun energy.

Not to ntion the Law Repulsion Force within the magic tower barrier—just the terrifying magical power contained in the tower was sothing an evil god descending via a ritual’s split incarnation could never withstand——
