Chapter 2543 - 1114: Sowing Confusion
Facing them, even Triple Shadows Taharissi felt a chill on her scalp, and defensively said: "I said I have not betrayed His Majesty, nor have I betrayed the Lady. On the contrary, it is the Lady who has become a prisoner and betrayed us. Do you believe that?"
"The Lady became a prisoner and betrayed us?"
"Haha... Could your lies be any more convincing? Where is this place? Samoray, the very heartland of Agrazte, and the Hall of Calculation is Lady Marreta’s domain. There, she could easily summon a Demon Legion for her use. If the Lady had been captured, it would have been pandemonium already!"
"Ask yourself first if these ridiculous lies can even fool yourself!"
As Taharissi anticipated, her defense provoked a burst of laughter, as if they had heard the most absurd joke.
In fact, if she hadn’t experienced it personally, she wouldn’t believe such words if someone else told her.
After all, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they wouldn’t think someone could directly teleport into Agrazte, into the Hall of Calculation.
Marreta’s prohibition against teleportation was a well-ingrained consensus in everyone’s mind, including those Demon Lords, who were incapable of such a feat.
Yet the most impossible thing had become reality.
Thus, everything became extremely absurd.
"You say the Lady has been captured? Do you have any proof? Where is the Lady now?" a Gun Cavalry member asked repeatedly.
The ordinary Samoray citizens took Triple Shadows’ defense as a joke, but these Gun Cavalry appeared exceptionally cautious, for they had previously heard the Lady’s cries for help.
This was what made them feel deeply skeptical, hoping to get answers from Taharissi.
"I have no proof, but the enemy is still in the Hall of Calculation, and the Lady should be there too. As long as you see the Lady, you’ll know I’m not lying." The Gun Cavalry’s reaction gave Taharissi a glimmer of hope.
Whether these ordinary Samoray citizens believed her was unimportant.
As long as the Lady’s Gun Cavalry believed her, she would have a chance to clear her name and hold back the enemy.
Defeating them wasn’t necessary, just stalling them for a while would be considered a victory.
Many strong individuals from Azegrat should be on their way.
"There’s a fire, the Hall of Calculation is on fire!"
"Lies, everything she says is a lie, she’s stalling for time!"
"The contract, the Demon Contract! Hurry, save the Demon Contract in the Hall of Calculation!"
What Triple Shadows Taharissi awaited wasn’t a response from the Gun Cavalry, but the roaring flames behind.
The flames were ferociously intense, seemingly engulfing most of the Hall of Calculation in an instant.
The Samoray citizens once again fell into a restless state.
When a Frollo Demon, reckless as could be, dove into the sea of flames, chaos ensued, and a myriad of Mosari citizens rushed to emulate.
Intercepting Triple Shadows Taharissi was a high-risk task, whereas snatching the Demon Contract from the sea of flames considerably reduced the danger level; all demons boasted substantial Flame Resistance, with many even possessing Flame Immunity.
When a Berserker Demon, bouncing around, emerged from the sea of flames clutching a Demon Contract shining with a glaring Magic Aura, the atmosphere reached its peak.
Many Samoray citizens, who were still hesitating, immediately rushed towards the burning Hall of Calculation.
A Gun Cavalry member wielding a greatsword dived down from the sky, her greatsword growing several times larger, slicing the Berserker Demon that had just escaped the flames from head to toe in one swift motion, snatching the Demon Contract from his grasp, and shouting loudly: "This belongs to the Lady, those who dare to lay a hand on it will die."
The methods were nothing short of brutal, the actions decisively fierce.
Under normal circumstances, it would certainly intimidate countless petty individuals, preventing them from acting rashly.
But now, amidst the total chaos, no one heeded the Gun Cavalry’s threats.
When all Samoray citizens stood opposed to the Gun Cavalry, could they really kill them all?
Even if they truly intended to kill them all, could these six Gun Cavalry members manage it?
The law doesn’t punish the masses, this is precisely such a scenario.
At this moment, a golden silhouette flew out of the sea of flames, diving towards Taharissi, calling out loudly as it flew: "Darling, why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you not to worry about me? I have a way to escape, quickly, grab the rope, I’ll take you out!"
A rope dangled from the golden figure’s claw, falling right around Triple Shadows Taharissi.
The sudden change made everyone present instinctively react.
Taharissi instinctively grabbed the rope, her expression not of joy, but of gritted teeth and a furious roar, "Hands of Slaughter, you bastard, you framed me!"
Her entire Divine Power surged wildly, intending to enter the Godhood Form, wanting to yank the other person down from the sky.
Even though the other had transformed into a Bipedal Dragon, she instantly recognized his true identity, the mastermind behind everything.
Moreover, the Wealth Goddess Woken’s Demon Contract was on him, the golden glow on him was the best proof, that was the overflowing Wealth Divine Power.
