Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 1567: Chapter 33: Welcome Home

The green flames gradually spread. Initially, only a few civilians attempted to put out the fire, but they quickly realized that water couldn’t extinguish these green flames.

Hades has three burning stages: if it’s not put out during the first two stages, it’s impossible to extinguish it by the third stage.

Now it’s just the first stage of Hades. At this stage, it doesn’t have a terrifying temperature, but it has a strong adhesiveness and propensity to spread.

When the civilians discovered that they couldn’t extinguish the green flames, they began to flee outward.

”Don’t run! Try to put out the fire first!”

”Water can’t put out these flames.”

”Go get seawater!”

As the flames grew larger, the civilians abandoned the firefighting effort and escaped to the beach area on the outskirts of Westport.

”No one is allowed to run! Anyone who dares to run, I’ll burn you to death!”

A stern shout rang out, and the civilians fleeing towards the beach stopped in their tracks, confronted by a witch blocking their way.

Seeing the fear in the civilians’ eyes, the witch stomped her foot in anger, restraining the impulse to kill them. She approached the fiercely burning green flames.

The witch looked at the green flames creeping towards her feet without panic. Being a fire ability user, controlling flames was a routine task for her.

The witch placed one hand on the ground, releasing an invisible ripple. A small patch of green flame landed on her hand, but she didn’t mind, closing her eyes with the intent to use her avatar to control the green flames.

The witch’s eyes suddenly widened as her right hand began to burn fiercely. Before she could react, the green flames had already spread to her upper body.

”Ah!!”

With a piercing scream, the witch, skilled at controlling flames, was burned alive. Watching this scene from a distance, Su Xiao couldn’t help but admire the courage of the witch. Even he didn’t dare to touch Hades in its second stage. This thing was basically uncontrollable, which was why he seldom used Hades.

When a ’god’ bleeds, he ceases to be a god. This pyro witch suffered such a fate, burned alive before the eyes of the civilians. Some timid women and children fainted from fright.

After a few screams, the crowd continued to flock towards the beach area.

Meilodi watched the burning green flames in a daze. She had expected Su Xiao to kill many witches in Westport, but she hadn’t imagined he would directly set Westport on fire, and that he would do so as soon as he arrived.

Su Xiao did this for two reasons: to disperse the civilians and to force out the witches. There were countless witches hidden in Westport, and it would be too troublesome to search for them one by one.

The green flames swept across the buildings like a tide, reducing everything it touched to charcoal. Hades prematurely entered the third stage, and extinguishing it was no longer possible.

At the same time, a figure on the coast, A Mu, was striding towards the cliffs.

In the highest building in Westport, a woman with golden hair stood by the window. Her hair burned like a flame under the sunlight.

Chaotic footsteps approached from behind the woman.

”My lord, we have enemies invading from the rear.”

A witch kneeled on one knee, and the golden-haired woman turned her head to look at her.

”I’ve seen them.”

The golden-haired woman’s voice was calm. Clad in a golden dress, her stunning appearance carried an aura of solemnity.

”My lord, it’s... the front.”

The kneeling witch’s voice grew softer. The Queen was nearly perfect, with her only flaw being her confused sense of direction.

”So it’s the front.”

The golden-haired woman chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about the stone houses consumed by flames.

”I suggest gathering people to extinguish those green flames right away...”

”No need.”

The golden-haired woman stepped forward towards the kneeling witch.

”Have everyone enter the castle, everyone.”

”But those buildings...”

The kneeling witch looked up. The residential houses had taken generations of slaves to build, forming the current scale of Westport.

”Those aren’t important. We can rebuild after burning. If the slaves die, it’s no matter. You all are what matters.”

The golden-haired woman placed a hand on the witch’s head, and the witch’s pupils shivered.

”Understood, my lord.”

The witch stood, trembling. It wasn’t fear but excitement from the depths of her heart.

Watching the witch quickly leave the room, the golden-haired woman smiled. The human heart was such an intriguing thing.

On the outskirts of Westport, Su Xiao stood atop a house. This area hadn’t been affected by Hades yet, and judging from the flames, the green fire might not reach here.

Adjusting the Duke of Extinction’s scope, Su Xiao frowned. He didn’t see any witches attempting to extinguish the fire. The plan was to lure them out with fire and then pick them off one by one.

The situation was clearly not as anticipated. Not only had no witches come out to put out the fire, but even the civilians had scattered away.

As Su Xiao was about to give up on sniping the witches, a suspicious figure appeared in the scope—a small young witch, around 12.3 years old.

This young witch moved through the crowd. Instead of fleeing towards the beach, she ran towards the high castle.

Realizing this, Su Xiao understood why no witches had emerged to put out the fire; it was evident that Westport’s leader had ordered all the witches to gather.

Stowing the Duke of Extinction, Su Xiao felt no rush. If Hades could burn up to the castle, it would be an unexpected gain. He could then focus on sniping the ones in distress. If Hades didn’t reach them, the witches would still be gathered for Su Xiao to eliminate without searching everywhere.

As he lit a cigarette to watch the flames, a spatial fluctuation emanated from behind him.

Clang.

Dragon Slash drew out, and Su Xiao rushed in a few steps towards Meilodi, slashing down.

Splurt!

Blood splattered as a ghastly green arm was severed. Unfortunately, another ghastly green arm gripped the back of Meilodi’s neck.

”Hehehe...”

A cold laugh echoed. The space behind Meilodi twisted, dragging her into an anomalous space.

”Witch Hunter, you will have the same fate...”

Swoosh, the blade sliced through, cutting the voice short. Almost shattered, a head was expelled from the anomalous space.

[Master of Space and Time]

Quality: Legendary Tier

Category: Pendant

Effect: Space Slash (Active), consumes 10% of Mana Value. The next cleave can penetrate anomalous space, space cracks, eleventh dimensions, etc., dealing 500 points + additional cleave damage, forcibly ejecting the enemy out of the space they occupy.

...

With a single slash, Su Xiao slaughtered the old witch hiding in the anomalous space. Surveying the surroundings, Meilodi should also have been expelled from the space, but she wasn’t present, likely at the entry point of the anomalous space.

In the highest castle, Meilodi fell to the ground with a thud, the scent of blood permeating.

A headless body weighed upon her. Lying on the cold marble slab, Meilodi pushed the corpse off her. Just then, she noticed a dozen pairs of eyes looking down at her.

”I swear... I didn’t kill Cassandra. Do you believe me?”

Looking at these ’acquaintances,’ Meilodi swallowed nervously. These acquaintances sneered. They certainly believed it. With Meilodi’s combat strength, Cassandra dying at her hand would be bizarre indeed.

”Welcome home.”

A gentle female voice sounded. Hearing it, Meilodi shivered.

”Queen, Your Highness, all is well, I hope.”
