Agatha was shocked at this realization and looked at the other girls who slowly backed away from her, and made sure not to touch the other corpses.
Unknowingly to Agatha, the girls were seeing a different her. In their minds, she was covered with blood and some organs were even stuck to her body, her blue hair was now now looking purple, due to the blood.
They were scared out of their wits, one moment she was just guiding them around and she just stopped and started killing the girls around them like flies. She might not have known but one of the girls heard from some seniors in the public bath for the females that the supposed dorm supervisor was actually young master Luke's lover, that's why they were calling her Lady Agatha. But it seems that calling her Lady Agatha made her go beserk and start a killing spree.
"p-please spare us!!"
"Yes! we did not know you would be upset"
"ple-please la- ...miss Agatha"
One of the girls almost said the word that almost killed them and her friends gave her a look that promised that if they managed to get out of this, she was going to be sorry.
Agatha seeing their frightened expressions felt lost, she knew they were either in an illusion or some other dimension.
"I..." She was about to explain when she looked behind the group and saw some strange creatures walking towards them.
They were about 2 meters and tall, looked like humanoid stick figures and the tentacles behind them looked etheral and could pass through any object. Their faces were blank and walking seemed like a heavy chore for them as they used the tentacles to stabilize themselves as they walked.
The girls seeing her expression were even more scared now as they thought that the fool from before had really done them in. They were scared to look back, and non of them even thought of looking back or using their powers, as they feared that any sudden movements would trigger another massacre.
"Run!!" Agatha yelled at them, when she noticed that they were rooted on the spot and fear was emanating from them. To them, Agatha with her bloody appearance was like a blood monster to them, and her screams now sounded like a crying banshee in the night, of course they had never seen one before but you get the idea.
"I said RUN!!!" Agatha literally growled at this point as she realised that the female disciples of the temple were not decisive as she thought, no wonder they were so slow ini their quest to capture the heart of Luke. That is not the problem now.
Agatha realised that some the girls had actually soiled their garments with either piss or feaces and this disgusted her. Her disgusted look made the her look like she was smilling at them evilly and was planning on how to devour them.
One of the older girls turned around and ran straight to those tentacled stick figures behind them, the other girls were in shock as they looked at her running away, some were about to join her until they saw the creatures behind them and shuddered. Agatha almost passed out in anger seeing where the girl was running to, and the annoying thing... she was not looking forward.
"Shit!" Agatha summoned an ice shard that was as big as her arm and hurled it in the girls direction, the cold emanating from the shard was literally freezing the air around it causing it to leave a path of snow and ice flakes in it's wake.
It took sometime for the girls to realise that Agatha had already launched an attack against those beings, but for the poor girl who saw the attack coming her way, it was like the scythe of the grim reaper was hovering over her neck, waiting patiently for her to give her last breath and take her away.
Maybe it was desperation, or fear, or maybe it was the type of epiphany you get during a life and death situation, but the girl suddenly summoned a wall made of mud to block the path of the projectile hurling towards her.
Agatha and the rest looked at this scene in shock. This is not what they thought would happen, WTF!, why did she do that... What made her think of summoning a nud wall all of a sudden!.
"Look behind you!" No one knew who yelled those words, but it did the job. The fleeing girl looked behind her and saw the abominations walking towards her and froze. She even forgot to supply the mud wall she conjured any magic power and it crumbled like a ... like a .... like a mud pile?
Anyway, thanks to that timely intervention, the ice shard was able to reach it's destination and a wonderful spectacle unfolded. The ice shard after stricking the ground of those stick figures, a wall made of ice instanly appeared like it had always been there.
The fleeing girl and the others felt a shudder. 'What would have happened if she had not been warned?'.
"*Huff*Huff*- argh!" Agatha coughed a blob of blood on the ground scaring the girls infront of her as they looked at her and their eyes widened.
Behind Lady- cough, Miss Agatha, one of the 'dead' girls was currently standing behind her with an erie smile adorning her face as what looked like a tentacle was seen to have pierced through Agatha's chest at where her heart was.
She was loosing a lot of blood, her face had gone pale, she quickly conjured an ice dagger and with gritted teeth, stabbed where she believed the head of the attacker was and the feeling of opposition she got confirmed that she had at least pierced something, but could not see what she stabbed and who her attacker was.
As she fell, she noticed that the octopus that was floating over the temple in the sky was facing her direction. She did not know why, but she felt that it was smilling at her and it's three eyes that were in the shape of a triangle looked at her with a sickening gloating look.
"Miss Agatha!"
The screams of the girls that were a moment ago fearful of her was the only thing she heard as her vision went blank.
[Congratulations to player ??? for defeating Agatha The Frost Witch of the temple]
[Player ??? has been granted the chance to fight Luke The Shinning Light]
This was a message that every player in Elemental Warfare, except those that were already suspended, saw hovering in the sky.
The streams of those streaming the game were all bombarded with comments and the excitement of the players were vastly different than the rest.
Those who spawned in the temple in the human kingdom were even more in shock. They knew who Agatha was, when they spawned there, there was always this prompt one got when they came close to her.
[Hidden quest>>>>Kill Agatha the frost witch]
[Rewards>>>>Chance to issue a challenge to Luke the shinning light]
[Reward for winning >>>> 80% control of the summoning temple
>>>> 5,000 gold coins every in game month
>>>>Instant 20 Levels, level up
>>>....]
There were other rewards but when one fought Luke the shinning light, they would have to face an angry boss level Luke the shinning light, who had all his stats boosted by 50% and was even able to use his beloveds element as well as his light element side by side.
It was advised that to do that, you would have to join the judgement army and complete a certain mission to have the power to at least face him on equal terms. This was just a speculation tho, the only way is to have a hiher level.
But what were they hearing now? someone just killed Agatha the frost witch? what!?
Whoever you are, pray we don't see you!!
But who is he tho, his name is just question marks.
Luke who was just about to leave the quarters of the priestess and head over to Agatha to see if she was alright, felt the chain he usually wore inside his robes that had a drop of Agatha's blood inside it suddenly grew cold, it felt like he had placed a block of ice on his chest, not the gold chain on his neck.
His expression grew cold, his aura became oppressive, his eyes became blood shot as his whole body trembled in anger.
"What happened!!" The priestess suddenly appeared beside Luke in a flash of green light, as she was also holding an almost identical chain to that of Luke, except hers did not contain a drop of blood, but rather a strand og hair.
"Agatha is dead" Luke said through gritted teeth.
"What? dead?" The priestess asked to confirm, a smile almost popped out on her face but it died as soon as she realised that Agatha was not really dead as her soul would come over to Luke's soul chain and all he had to do was go to the world tree and complete a task to bring her back. It was not the first time something like this had happened, but the fact that the elves never allow anyone except a member of their race near the world tree, the last time was a one time thing involving a long and over due pomise. This time, they would have to take it by force.
"She is dead" Luke repeated as he already noticed the facial expression of the priestess but ignored her.
"You said it befo-" The priestess eyes opened in shock and some slight happiness. "Her soul was actually destroyed?". The priestess asked, but her smiling face made Luke irritated and felt like killing her that instant but held it in.
"Yes" Was all he said and moved in the direction of where he felt Agatha would be. Even though he was unfelling at times and slept with other girls and also ignored her, he would not decive himself and say he never at least felt a little affection for her.
"That person is dead" He declared and he had a pretty good idea of who it was.
