Your support means the world. Let's embark on these adventures together!

The legends of the evil witch they had heard since childhood resurfaced in their minds, causing the cultists' hearts to tremble.

Most of them were natives of the South Harbor District, without any proper education since childhood, with low cultural knowledge, unable even to distinguish between constructs and demons. Naturally, they could not precisely recognize that the so-called witch was essentially the same type of creature as the Master they worshipped!

"Master, since it's a witch, then allow us to eliminate her!"

The lead cultist suddenly spoke, his voice filled with eagerness, "It's a perfect chance to test the power of our statue!"

Ahead, the flagella on Die's body surface wavered slightly, seeming very confused and indecisive, "Hmm... alright, go."

The cultists immediately stood up, collaboratively placing the completed statue onto a four-wheeled cart. Then, with two people pushing the cart, they aggressively charged out, intent on eliminating that "witch!"

Die remained standing in place, with eight cultists by her side, seemingly as her guards, while another group continued to dissect the brains of the investigation team members to create more statues.

No one heard the large magical creature muttering to herself at that moment, her voice filled with confusion, "Ah, a witch that commands mosquitoes, sounds so familiar, who was she…"

…

In the slum, Hawthorne and a group of nuns were swiftly heading toward the lumber yard.

The mana restoration by the three witches worked even better than he originally anticipated. In just half an hour, his mana gradually returned to full capacity, and he was now fully back to combat readiness.

After that, he wasted no time changing clothes and departing, directly heading toward the lumber yard along the path Andinie had previously scouted.

As they traveled, Andinie suddenly stiffened, "Master, new discovery, Die is indeed in that lumber yard!"

"Moreover… it seems she's established some kind of evil cult. She is now in her true form, receiving worship and praise from those cultists and vivisecting the captured Investigation Team members!"

Toward the end, her voice trembled. With her worldview corrected, witnessing such gruesome scenes now made her feel uncontrollably nauseous.

However, Hawthorne's expression was one of surprise rather than alarm, "The Investigation Team members are still alive? How many of them?"

He was genuinely delighted; if all of the Investigation Team members were dead, even if they successfully purified Die, the Black Staff Tower would be incensed by such a tragedy, and the South Harbor District would still not find peace afterward.

But since they were still alive, there was still room for maneuver, and this matter could still be resolved smoothly!

"Yes… ah—!" Suddenly, Andinie let out a short cry of pain, then her face twisted as she closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. "Die attacked me. All the mosquitoes I control are dead."

"Sorry, Master, I didn't see clearly. I can only estimate that about seven or eight people are still alive…"

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her voice was filled with self-reproach. Her abilities were limited after all, and anyone with a slightly strong casting ability could sense the unusual nature of the mosquitoes she controlled and eliminate them, causing harm to her true form.

Seeing this, Hawthorne quickly comforted her, "It's okay, dear, you've done very well. Oh, by the way, the cultists under Die, what's their approximate number? Do they seem weak?"

Andinie shook her head slightly, "I'm not sure, I can only roughly judge that there are about thirty to fifty of them."

"And then, they used the brains of the captured Investigation Team Warriors to create a large magical statue. I couldn't understand it, but it definitely exuded a strong magical aura, likely Die's work…"

A magical statue?

What kind is it?

Hawthorne was somewhat puzzled. He knew of many types of statues, like gargoyles, cruciform statues, and various mechanical puppets, but he couldn't immediately determine which kind the Insect Plague Witch was referring to.

"Everyone, it seems we are facing more than just Die's threat. Prepare for battle!" His expression was serious. "Andinie, how is your recovery? Thank you for your effort, continue scouting. I need more information to plan our attack!"

Andinie wiped her tears with her hand and reopened her bloodshot eyes. "Understood!"

She spoke, holding her breath and focusing, as she once again controlled a swarm of mosquitoes heading towards the lumber yard.

Then, she looked surprised, "No, Die's followers have started fighting with Amazon women!"

"And… there are about twenty to thirty Amazons, but they are being overwhelmed!"

Hawthorne was suddenly astonished, then his expression changed, "We need to speed up and go to support them!"

Being able to overwhelm the Amazons indicates that these cultists' strength far exceeds what we previously imagined, and a strong response is necessary!

...

On the street outside the lumber yard.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Magic orbs about the size of soccer balls, emitting a dazzling array of colors, flew through the air, striking nearby walls, the ground, or fragile houses, and then exploded with a roar!

Boom—!

The dull sound of explosions was incessant. These magic orbs were like grenades, each with different explosive effects: there were flames, ice crystals, lightning, and even strong acid and toxic gas!

Raging fires illuminated the nighttime streets, heating the air nearby. The rotting stench mixed with toxic fumes spread with the airflow, stimulating everyone's olfactory nerves and making those who arrived feel a wave of nausea!

Under such terrifying firepower suppression, the Amazon female warriors who rushed over could only use the houses as cover, hiding reluctantly while waiting for the enemy's magic power to deplete.

Occasionally, one or two warriors attempted to fight back with javelins, but the scattered firepower was just a drop in the ocean, unable to pose any real threat to the enemy, and only served to expose themselves to enemy fire!

Hiding behind a house, Amazon Female Executive Gael Portel almost clenched her steel teeth to the point of breaking.

With her knowledge, she quickly recognized that the magic orbs fired by the cultists were actually a first-level spell known as Colorful Orbs!

This spell has long range, powerful force, and the ability to choose from five types of damage, making it well-suited for battlefield needs or to exploit enemy weaknesses. Other than consuming mana and having a slightly small area of effect, it has almost no drawbacks!

However, now was not the time to evaluate this spell. Looming over Portel was another more critical issue.

Why could every one of these enemies cast spells?!

There were at least twenty cultists on the opposite side. When did the South Harbor District suddenly get over twenty spellcasters?!
