Chapter 639 224 - Heavenly Star Warrior And The Betrayal (Part 4)

"I warned William to side with us. The progress cannot be stopped, and if someone isn't supporting us, they are against us."

A tall tanned woman standing on thin air above the sight of the massive explosion scoffed and lowered her hand.

As she did, the fiery mane around her head sizzled out returning her hair to its default state of being curly and powder-pink.

"Sounds like you want to convince yourself – we all already know it."

A silver-haired fox-faced man squatting beside the fire-wielding woman snickered while carefully observing the subsiding smoke that covered the sight of the cemetery.

"Shut up, Guardian of the Aquarius."

The tanned woman gritted her teeth and scoffed at the fox-faced man.

"So official! We are not in front of his Heavenly Highness, you know, Camelia?"

The guardian of the Aquarius giggled, waving his hand dismissively without ever facing the woman.

"We are on an official mission given by his majesty's advisor, Guardian of the Aquarius."

The woman called Camelia frowned, glaring at the back of the man's head, and didn't budge on the way to address him in the slightest.

"Are you sure that we've used enough power? Those two are probably fried, but besides them, it's old William we are talking about... was it even his real body?"

The fox-faced man waved his hand dismissively and his voice turned more serious – he sensed no movement below, but that didn't mean that their targets were dead. Visual confirmation was necessary.

"I am confident, not even a fire dragon would survive my flames, if you want to see for yourself so much, why wait? Just blow away the smoke and dust with your wind."

Camelia crossed her arms and turn her head away as if upset that her strength was questioned.

"So you say, but I think that you went easy on..."

"WATCH OUT!"

The guardian of the Aquarius furrowed his brows and stroked his chin with one hand – when all of a sudden, a young white-haired girl appeared between the two and pushed them aside in panic.

As the girl pushed the two Heavenly Guardians away, a barrier of water formed around her locking her in something that looked just like the defensive water bubble of water magicians, only much, much thicker.

"Yellow Star."

*&^%$#@#$)(^%$#@#$%()_$#*

The young girl did both of those acts just in time for a low, furious growl to come from below – the next moment, the smoke and dust evaporated under the hellish heat of an energy beam so bright that it dyed the entire area yellow.

The attack was instantaneous and the girl who saved the two Heavenly Guardians had no chance of dodging it.

"KYAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH...!"

Her barrier turned out to be only good enough for her to let out a scream of pain as her body began melting under the unbelievable heat – the yellow beam passed through, and only a split second later, there was not even dust left from the water-wielding girl.

"LIN?!"

"Little guardian of the Pisces is fine, that was only her astral projection. But that attack, it wasn't something that William should... ah..."

Camelia shouted in terror, staring at the spot where the girl who saved them evaporated, but the guardian of the Aquarius calmed her down before looking down and... letting out a troubled gasp, opening his eyes for the first time.

Back down amongst the debris stood a black-haired man protectively holding a reddish-brown-haired girl in his arms.

A wounded reddish-brown-haired girl – Camelia's fire burnt off their clothes and should have turned their bodies into charcoal, but it was only the girl who was wounded - with severe burns on her arms and legs.

"Camelia! Victor! What is the meaning of this?!"

As it turned out, William did survive the attack too – not only survive, with the mastery in the law of Pisces he tapped into the control over the element of water and created a protective barrier that spared not only his body but even his clothes.

"Yellow Star."

*&^%$#@#$)(^%$#@#$%()_$#*

"!!!!!"

While the Havenly Star Warrior wanted to get some answers before taking action, Zoemi clearly wasn't in the mood for it and launched another attack that immolated the air in its wake.

Although the guardian of the Aquarius did lounge to the side, he was not the target – The black-haired man was focused only on the tall powder-pink-haired woman.

"GHHHH...!"

Camelia managed to partially dodge the attack – even being able to fly thanks to the help of the wind-wielding comrade she ended up being too slow. She tried to create a shield of fire to block the attack and it did help her survive...

...to some degree...

It didn't deflect the attack, but before getting destroyed, it did gave her enough time to move the rest of the way from the yellow beam's width.

"...me...? The Guardian of the Leo... burnt...? But... I govern fire...!"

​

Camelia muttered to herself, stunned in shock, staring at her terribly burnt arms with crispy skin peeling off the medium-rare-done muscles.

"Yellow..."

"HOLD ON! Lord Zoemi, right?! We can talk this out!"

The black-haired man opened his mouth, glaring straight at the sitting duck in the sky, but before he could finish the short command, the fox-eyed landed right by his side and exclaimed in a panicked voice.

"Guardian of the Aquarius, I heard what you two were talking about up there after blowing up this place."

"...!"

Zoemi turned around so that Alan's body was out of sight for the others, and said with an evil smirk causing the fox-faced man to tense up and almost take a step back.

"I guess that your name is Victor Windfallen, I was told to get your help as a master of the law of Aquarius on the Supernova level, but I see that you are already helping out the other side."

The black-haired man scoffed, shaking his head in annoyance, barely holding himself back – and ONLY holding himself back because of the unconscious and wounded Alan in his arms.

"...I was already flabbergasted upon seeing the magician who destroyed my astral projection with such ease here... but now you two are here and did what you did... I want some answers."

William looked around the destroyed necropolis, clenching his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white, but managed to keep his voice calm.
