Chapter 726 Chaos- Part 1

Penny who had already met the octopus tentacles of the black witch. She was least surprised out of the group, her face much calmer than the rest who appeared to look surprised as well as shocked. None of them had ever encountered something like this before and it was as if they were looking at a new species.

She pulled out her gun knowing well it would only slow down the tentacles for a brief moment before it would start lashing out at them.

There were at least five witches who appeared to have been transformed. The councilman fought the witches as well as the witch hunters who were attacking them, but it appeared that during the tentacles that were attacking the council members, they weren't the only ones to receive the backlash as the witch hunters were being attacked by the witches too.

Both Damien and Penny fought next to each other being the ally and supporter when it came to fighting.

When one of the tentacles came close to her, she used the ability of wind to push it away from her so that it would reach her while flicking the witch hunters like they were a piece of paper being blown in the forest. Taking out the needles which she had created the poison by making use of her own blood, she placed it in the gun and pulled the trigger but that didn't stop the black witches. One of the councilmen ended up being trapped as the tentacle circled the man around his lower body to squeeze him until blood splattered across the trees and ground, leaving an echo of painful scream in the forest.

All of them knew the black witches were gaining powers not just by modifying and transforming their bodies but also from the locked magic and the worry started to trickle down the vampire's mind and Penelope noticed how the bullets and other weapons were not working on them. They appeared to be almost invisible.

Penny tried to think of what to do.

The normal approach wasn't working and they lost one council member right in front of their eyes.

Everyone was fighting while trying not to get killed. If it weren't for her elemental ability she would have been the next possible victim right now. The black witches were not playing but were intent on killing as they had to complete the ritual under the glow of the moon.

"Damien," Penny shouted at him, "I'm going ahead," she said without waiting up for him and dodging the tentacles who started to follow her, and Damien took it as a cue where the black witch's attention had been shifted. Unfortunately, they couldn't cut the tentacle off as it kept regrowing over and over again.

This reminded Damien of what he had encountered in the deserted town when he had taken Kreme along with him.

"Cut off the head," he yelled to the other council members who had been cutting the tentacles bit by bit that had been useless.

Being the good listener, Evelyn went for the head but her foot was pulled by another tentacle that looked like a creeper, hanging her upside down which she chopped using the knife in her hand to fall down on the ground.

The council members were some of the most trusted resources of the council that had been picked depending on their skills and capability. But at the moment, they were struggling when it came to the advanced black witches who were doing everything in their power when it came to stop them from getting anywhere further in.

In the abandoned ruins of the church, the human girl who had been tied at the pole looked at the witches continuously chanting the spells and the fire that was already blazing burnt in a much higher volume, bringing light to the darkened space around them.

And during all this time, Sabbi and the little girl didn't get close to the marking of the circle. She watched one of the fellow sister witch drag a goat towards the center before the knife was plunged deep into its chest. The black witch then pulled the sheep's heart out and went towards the fire to squeeze the blood of the heart with her bare hand with blood dripping down her hands.

In the meantime, Penny and Damien had somehow killed the black witch by beheading her and they ran towards the ruins as the ability of apparition did not work unless the magic that had been spilled would be removed.

Killing every single person who came in their way and when the time came where they finally reached near the church, they caught sight of the fire that was blazing bright at the center. Unfortunately, they were too late because the witch who had sacrificed the sheep now slit the throat of the girls before setting her on fire as the last standing sacrifice.

"NO!" Penny screamed but her voice was covered by the sudden wind that started to increase around them and the people all around had to hold on to something so that they wouldn't fly and drift away in the wind that had begun to blow in the forest and around ruins of the land.

The girl who had been sacrificed was dead and the fire that had been burning brightly previously now had been extinguished due to the intensity of the wind. Penny held on to one of the ruins of the broken fall to stop herself from being flown away. Though she was a wind element, she had not mastered the ability and had only learned the bare minimum to be able to defend herself.

A lot of them stood stunned as they looked around them to see what was going on while wondering if the black witches had received their lost magic until Penny caught sight of a black hole as if it were sucking the beings around it into it. At the same time, she caught sight of the two witches they had met this morning.

The girl raised her hand and in an instant, the wind increased even higher and Penny had to use her ability to lower the wind around her as she was sure she would any second be flying up and away in the sky. Some of the witch hunters screamed as they were pulled into the unknown hole.

She guessed this is where the magic was hidden.

Penny's heart dropped as the black hole turned wider and the young girl they had met raised her hand towards it. This was going to happen as they weren't able to handle all the black witches and things were only going to turn dire right now.

A screeching sound could be heard and everyone covered their ears as the screeching sound was too shrill that gave a very uncomfortable feeling. The air started to turn heavy and the wind started to reduce where the black hole continued to stay open.

It was when she caught the nearest standing black witch who raised her hand to see the flames coming from her fingers did everyone finally understand that the black magic had been successfully unbound and was now in use by the black witches.
