Chapter 963 - The Tragic Katherine
Chapter 963 The Tragic Katherine
The City of Zola.
It was a moderate-sized city with a population of more than fifty thousand. It mainly traded in sea products from the nearby Cascara Lake, transporting the products to every part of the Zambez Empire through the convenient rivers and streams that ran near the city.
That was why when Greem arrived at the commercial road leading to Zola, he discovered that all the carriages traveling on it were transporting boxes upon boxes of fish.
Greem had used magic to change his appearance to better disguise himself.
He put away his eye-catching adept’s robe and equipment and wore simple leather armor and pants. A two-handed longsword was slung over his shoulder, and a gray traveler’s cloak was draped around him, making him look like an adventurer that was walking through the lands.
His appearance had also been changed slightly. His dark red hair and black eyes had all vanished, making him look about the same as the civilians of the Empire.
He casually stopped a merchant party traveling along the road and bought his way onto their wagons with two silver coins. He then squeezed beside Old Tom, the driver of the wagon full of fish, as they slowly continued to ride towards the city in the distance.
He then applied force, and Katherine reared her neck and screamed even more desperately. The appendages connected to her spine broke at the base, leaving a few bloody holes on her spine. The purple and black blood seeped out of her wounds, along with the foul-smelling reconciling agent. The stench was so overpowering that a few of the holy knights started choking and couldn’t help but step back.
Katherine was still moving her body in an attempt to fight back despite the horrifying wounds she had received.
The Holy Knight finally lost his patience. He reached out and gouged a few of the joints on Katherine’s body.
The neck, the shoulder, the chest, the waist, and the tailbone.
This series of critical strikes immediately severely dislocated or destroyed the modified metal joints in Katherine’s body, shutting down her control over her mechanical or organic parts.
Katherine’s body finally went limp, incapable of any resistance!
The Holy Knight looked at the battlefield around him after finally taking down this barbaric mechanical witch. His heart filled with shock and anger when he looked at the ruined forest around him and the holy knights that were scattered across the ground.
He was shocked at the savagery and ferocity of these foreign invaders.
He was angered at their disregard for the lives of Henvic Plane.
Fourth Grade Holy Knight Ad Carrhae was finally enraged!
All the adepts deserved to die. They couldn’t be allowed to continue existing in Henvic.
His emotion of extreme anger triggered the wounds on his body, making him cough intensely and spit out a mouthful of black blood. Shards of organ and muscle fibers could be faintly seen in the black blood.
It was more than enough evidence that the terrible wounds he had received in the witch’s tower had not stabilized at all. In fact, they were showing signs of aggravation.
To reduce the casualties among the ordinary holy knights when attacking the witch’s tower, Ad Carrhae had personally breached the tower with his tremendous might and destroyed the interplanar teleportation array there. He had received a destructive blow by the combined attack of the stationed witches.
If the holy light he possessed hadn’t been the most specialized at healing and neutralizing foreign energy, Ad Carrhae would never have escaped that tower alive.
He might have survived, but the terrifying wounds on his body tortured him gravely.
Ad Carrhae had no choice but to leave the battlefield and return to the Empire to recuperate, using the Sanctuary Space of the Great Holy Light Cathedral to heal his wounds.
Unfortunately, just as his wounds were showing signs of healing, the omnipotent Holy Light sent a grave warning to him. According to the Holy Light, new enemies would invade from the north of the Empire. Moreover, their arrival would bring about a fearsome disaster for the holy knights!
It was this terrifying omen that caused Ad Carrhae to drag his broken body all the way to the north of the Empire, rushing day and night with a troop of holy knights to arrive as quickly as he could. They even cut through the Avelli Mountains, Starfall Valley, and the primal woods to save time.
Who knew if it was the guidance of the Holy Light or the tremendous misfortune of the enemy, but their party had run into this lone otherworldly witch while they were traveling through Fellhammer Mountain.
After a bloody battle, this barbaric half-human, half-machine witch was taken down by the injured Fourth Grade Holy Knight Ad Carrhae after she had wiped out half of the other holy knights.
