576 UNDER ATTACK

When Terra watched what was happening to the priestess, she was screaming and was about to dash towards the podium, but Leroy grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

"Wait!" he said while giving the other hunter a cue to follow him. "Stay behind me!"

Leroy and the other hunters made a human barricade in front of the fallen angel and Terra sneaked behind them to check on the priestess.

The girl was slightly relieved when she didn't see blood on the place where Chiron's dagger stabbed the head of the priestess, probably it couldn't pierce the thick of the mask that she was wearing. 

With trembling hands, Terra tried to remove the mask from the priestess while listening to the arguments that were going on between Chiron and Leroy. 

However, when the girl managed to remove the mask from the priestess, the scene that she watched before her eyes was too frightful for her to see.
