Chapter :-37 Massacre (Part-7)

Roar.....!!!

A red-clad figure raised its head and looked in the direction, where the roar came from. The figure had a petite body, about the height of a typical teenager. Her hair stuck to her forehead as the sweat on it acted as a glue.

Light-skin along with sharp eyebrows wore a red-colored uniform made of leather. The symbol of the Sun rising from behind the clouds printed on her back.

Roland had decided to let this be the symbol of the Witch-union, signifying the new hope after the seemingly everlasting darkness. Even if currently they only had Anna and Nana in the union since the three maids were not included.

She stood inside a room, stone platform beneath her feet which held on under the enormous amount of heat radiating from her palm. Anna was ordered to continue working on the ingot to not only increase her control but also help in the manufacturing of more weapons.

Some guards guarded the [Mason-guild] where she worked under Roland's command. Kite had advanced to [Telepathist] thus his ability of observation is not only limited to superficial details, but deeper into one's aura, Ether Body, or other mysterious domains.

The combination of the two allows a Telepathist to precisely understand a person's thoughts as though they could read their minds.

In front of them, it is difficult to have any secrets. They are able to read the superficial thoughts of others and can also stimulate their thoughts.

They know what kind of emotional reaction to show in the appropriate situation and know in detail what kind of expression and body language to react with.

Thus after having a chat with the elders of the guild, he was able to get them to allow Anna to work freely inside the guild while she would help with their projects, Anna was a knowledge-hungry individual who wouldn't leave any chance to learn something new.

So after deciding how many hours will she work and for how long, they started with the projects of [Flintlock] which their prince had presented them with, design.

Anna was busy with the hot ingot when an elder burst into her room. The heat quickly disappeared along with her concentration as she looked towards the one who interrupted her.

An old man probably around 70-year-old, face filled with wrinkles like an answer sheet riddled with zeros everywhere. He wore gray-robe along with a majestic badge on his chest.

The symbol of Gray-castle shinned brightly even though the lighting of the room wasn't that good. If Kite would have been here he would have surely said 'An old relic.....!!!'.

He stood at the door, not stepping inside the room since he wasn't given them permission to do so. His face had a frown, worried expression bloomed on his wrinkled face.

"Guild-master, Greetings.....!!!" Anna bowed deeply to show her respect and admiration towards this man who stood at the top of the Mason-guild branch.

Mister Revar used to be an aspiring [Mason], a reputable gob indeed. He worked hard and kept moving forward while leaving behind a long list of near-impossible records.

He became a member at the age of 17, stepped in the round table meeting at the age of 20, became an elder at the age of 47 and finally becoming a grandmaster at the age of 68.

He stepped some years still working for the guild but afterward he transferred here, in this town to live a peaceful life. Such the place was attacked by beasts but he didn't fear them.

Even though he was old, he still is an [Awakened], his ability to control water was at its peak and not many could fight against him. Thus he stayed in the town, living a life of solitude.

"Little Anna, the wall was breached near the western sector though the situation is under our complete control, we still mustn't relax. His Highness had ordered that if the beasts were able to break the wall then immediately take you to the castle." said the Old-man kindly while the urgency and tension in his voice were evident.

Anna looked at his face for some time, her heart was having a gloomy feeling. Like the death of Roland. She immediately asked a question that bothered her all this time.

"Is His Highness not in the Castle...???" her tone was doubtful after all the 2-individuals protecting Roland wouldn't allow something to happen to him.

The old-man hesitated a bit before speaking in a helpless tone "Sigh.....no he is not in his castle, he is on the frontline of the western sector, probably under the besiege of many beasts."

Akin to thunderclaps, dark clouds hovered over her head. Her vision darkened a little at his words. She immediately sprung towards the door and ran outside.

"Don't rush.....they will be fine." comforted the old-man but alas the receiver was just too far. He grabbed his beast a few times and walked away.

He knew that with her power she wouldn't need soldiers to accompany her while she herself was faster than many people.

[Meanwhile]

Anna ran with all her might, in her mind the scene of watching her father's dead body was being played on repeat. She knew that Roland would surely be in danger then she had to act fast and provide assistance.

Working together with the soldiers will help improve the image of the witches which will then start to already slowly turn the tide in their favor.
