A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 5] Chapter 49
[Vol. 5] Chapter 49: Ruins
Perhaps the reason for the severe damage to the church overnight was quite peculiar. When Ifia arrived at the church by carriage, there were no onlookers around.
The once bustling church entrance now appeared desolate and lonely.
Even the coachman hesitated to drive inside, afraid of being possessed by the rumored demon. Although this was the church renowned for exorcisms lately…
“Miss Ifia, are you sure you want to go in?”
The coachman held the reins, and the horse neighed anxiously.
At this moment, Ifia lifted the carriage curtain and jumped down, startling the coachman almost into a scream. His heart raced with fear.
Ever since the news of Ifia becoming Miss Barlen’s companion spread, who didn’t know the importance of Miss Ifia!
Any slight injury or accident would incur the wrath of the Duke’s daughter!
Unaware of this, Ifia waved her hand at the coachman, knowing he dared not enter the church. She had no intention of forcing him. After all, she was just here to take a look, whether she went inside or not didn’t matter.
“It’s okay, wait for me at the entrance. I’ll go in.”
After informing the coachman of her decision, Ifia immediately walked towards the entrance.
While observing the seemingly undamaged church from the outside, Ifia thought to herself that it didn’t look too serious… until she ventured further inside and quickly came upon the once magnificent church, now charred black.
Even the roof had collapsed halfway, looking like the remnants of a war-torn building. And it wasn’t just this part!
Ifia quickened her pace, then discovered that several other buildings in the church had also been destroyed by fire.
Even the small residence where Saint Tiffany resided had been completely reduced to rubble. At this moment, Ifia stood before this pile of broken bricks and tiles, her brow furrowed.
No wonder the stolen information from Amelia indicated that the Saint had a high chance of not surviving… With everything in this state, let alone the small building where she frequently resided!
While other structures might leave some remnants, the church where the Saint was located had been particularly badly damaged.
It made one can’t help but wonder if the demons specifically targeted the Saint for retaliation, while incidentally burning down the church.
After all, during the tumultuous exorcism campaign, the Saint had played the most significant role.
As Ifia stared at the church ruins, a pair of eyes hidden in a dark corner were also fixed on her!
The crimson snake tongue flickered, and the green eyes shimmered with anger.
As the powerful snake demon Taroumati, she had once revealed her true form, which was enormous and represented her magical strength.
Now, her snake body has turned as thick as a fist, and it is because she used up her magic to save the saint.
Although she had fought against Ahriman before, she had never lost as miserably as she did now. Taroumati had once thought that she and Ahriman were evenly matched. But now she realized that everything had been a presumption on her part.
Even if the Demon God Ahriman had been restricted in power and transferred to another world, she was still not a demon she could contend with. The true gap in power was too vast, she simply couldn’t win.
However, even if she couldn’t win, she couldn’t just stand by and watch the Saint die. So, risking the threat of death, Taroumati rescued the critically injured Saint from Ahriman’s clutches, then placed her in a safe place and used her dwindling magic to heal her injuries.
By the time everything was done, Taroumati’s magic had become scarce, and now she couldn’t even defeat any random demon.
Becoming so weak, how could Taroumati not feel resentment?
Therefore, she wanted to retaliate against Ahriman.
Unable to defeat her directly, she chose to harm those she cared about. After all, as a demon, she had no bottom line as long as she could achieve her goal.
Moreover, the Saint who used to be able to persuade her was now unconscious, like a mad dog without a collar, finally able to rampage unchecked with no one to stop her.
“How did it come to this…”
Unaware that she had been targeted, Ifia couldn’t help but sigh. Just as she was about to turn and leave, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.
[Warning! Danger approaching, host, quickly evade.]
However, even though the system gave a warning, it wasn’t easy for Ifia to avoid it. A green blur flashed past. The next moment, Ifia felt a sharp pain in her calf, causing her to immediately crouch down in agony, attempting to alleviate it.
Upon inspecting her calf, Ifia immediately noticed the bite mark left by the snake… Ifia didn’t know if the snake that bit her was venomous. With her alone here, if she were to faint, it would be like crying for help to deaf ears and a blind eye.
Therefore, Ifia could only take advantage of her current state of alertness and endure the intense pain as she quickly removed her belt and tightly bound the injured leg, preventing the spread of toxins.
However, she couldn’t bind it for too long to avoid causing necrosis due to impaired blood circulation.
Ifia had never known that the pain from a snake bite could make one want to cut off the affected limb with a knife. Fortunately, the coachman and carriage were just outside the church gate.
Gritting her teeth in pain, Ifia quickly headed towards the gate, but halfway there, her vision began to blur.
Her body began to rapidly heat up. She felt as if she had been thrown into hot water and steamed for a long time, turning red all over.
This was the venom of the snake taking effect. Knowing that she absolutely couldn’t collapse here, Ifia mechanically continued forward, while her mind began to call out to the system.
[System, what kind of snake attacked me? Why is it so painful!]
At the moment of being bitten by the snake, Ifia was busy trying to stop the spread of the toxin. Afterwards, she thought of hurrying back to the carriage for prompt treatment.
However, halfway there, she realized she couldn’t hold on any longer.
Now, she could only rely on conversation to distract from the pain, hoping her legs could give her some strength to reach the position of the church gate sooner.
[Host, it’s Taroumati. Due to injuries, her magical power has sharply declined, and with resentment in her heart, she wants to retaliate!]
Seeing the deteriorating condition of the host, the system was also anxious. Otherwise, even if the efficacy of the “Twin Birth Secret Medicine” was strong, the child in her womb would also suffer!
If it had known it would encounter such a situation when she went out, it would definitely have advised the host not to go out casually.
Unfortunately, there’s no potion of regret in this world. Now, all hope rests on the shoulders of the villainess, hoping to receive treatment in time…
Now, it’s not just an unborn child. It’s the hope of saving the world!
Don’t let the worst happen!
The system felt increasingly frustrated as it thought about it. If only it could provide substantial help…
Upon hearing the system mention Taroumati’s name, Ifia gritted her teeth fiercely.
It was her!
When she saw Amelia, she would definitely complain bitterly.
Her head was already feeling dizzy, and when Ifia couldn’t hold on any longer, she vaguely heard the coachman’s frightened voice, while her thoughts were quickly consumed by darkness.
