Chapter 957: Chapter 492: Vesta Chastity Sacred Fire

Frankish old commander Glore stepped outside his tent to the fire pit and placed a wool strand imbued with the power of the Aries constellation into the small fire circle. The flames instantly engulfed the wool strand.

Almost instantly, the flames within the fire pit rose, and a nine-eye Aries, conjured from the flames, appeared inside the fire pit, seemingly surprised.

Glore was taken aback.

It had worked this time.

The three Frankish Witch Marquises behind him, seeing the overwhelming constellation power emanating from the nine-eye Aries, showed expressions of envy and jealousy. They knew that the lion’s share of the credit still lay with the Aries witch.

As long as the Aries witch lived, they could only be considered secondary characters.

Which witch who had become a Marquis was willing to be overshadowed by another? Their hearts were already filled with discontent towards the Aries witch, they just dared not voice it.

An elderly Witch Marquis holding a peach wood magic wand, known as the Thunderous Witch, coughed to mask her jealousy and then, pretending to be dissatisfied, reprimanded Glore, "There are so many magic ceremonial altars to contact, yet you chose the fire pit altar. Everyone knows that Alsasians excel in flame magic. Commander Glore, are you trying to contact the Aries witch using flames so the Alsasians will notice us?"

Glore, feeling somewhat guilty, replied, "The fire pit alter is the most convenient and quickest magic to establish contact, and currently, Alsace has suffered heavy losses and is plagued by internal strife."

"I believe we no longer need to avoid fighting with the Alsasians as before, and need not circumvent using fire magic."

"Actually, there is no need to worry, Alsasians have the Fire Dragon Law, but the Frankish also have me." A blind, barefoot Virgin Witch of Vesta stepped forward. She maintained her youth and beauty using Light Soul; her snow-white thighs and soft feet drew the eyes of the Frankish soldiers and commanders.

Yet, recalling that she was a Witch Marquis who had lived for hundreds of years, their stirring hearts calmed.

The Virgin Witch of Vesta declared, "Since the Vesta Sanctuary joined the Kingdom of Frank, it has acquired a flame power comparable to the Fire Dragon Law."

"Flame is not exclusive to the Alsasians."

"The Vesta Holy Land has a long history and was already known in the Ancient World, becoming the center for Flame magic during the Ancient Civilization Period. Now, our Vesta Holy Land has relocated to the Kingdom of Frank."

The third witch, the Luva River Witch, spoke mockingly, "It’s true that Vesta Holy Land has a venerable history and a formidable legacy. But the reason you foreign witches moved from the Oriental Empire to the Kingdom of Frank is that your original country has now been overtaken by heretics."

"You live in constant fear, fleeing across countries to escape the heretics, and finding a refuge in the faraway Kingdom of Frank."

The Virgin Witch of Vesta frowned angrily, the Vesta Holy Land, similar to a witch’s graveyard, was a legacy of magic, where generation after generation of Witch of Vesta conserved the Fire Magical Power within the Holy Land, forming an eternal flame there, which was then passed to the next generation.

As a price for dedicating their lives to the flame, they could not marry nor live in the secular world but had to worship the flame. Hearing her Holy Land belittled now, she was filled with rage.

The Thunderous Witch feigned support but stirred dissent, "What the Luva River Witch said is not correct. The fire of the Vesta Holy Land is so powerful, it must be comparable to the declining Dragon Flame of Alsace."

This statement enraged the Virgin Witch of Vesta. The flame power around her surged uncontrollably, causing bursts of fire that set the nearby camp ablaze.

"How dare you disrespect the flame of the Vesta Holy Land?"

"If it weren’t for the rewards from His Majesty, I would burn you all right now!"

The Holy Flame turned the nearby camp into a Holy Space, where the flame seemed eternally present. In areas consumed by the fire, even time and spiritual essence were barred from entering.

This realization changed the expression of the two Witch Marquises. They now understood that the actual strength of the Virgin Witch of Vesta was superior to theirs.

Especially the Luva River Witch, who was a traditional witch of the Frankish, relied heavily on her terrain magic. Away from the greatest river of the Kingdom of Frank, the Luva River, her combat power plummeted significantly.

But near the Luva River, she feared no Aries witch.

While the Frankish internal strife ensued, suddenly, the nine-eye Aries within the fire pit spoke. "Actually, you’re also not wrong."

"The fire of the Vesta Holy Land indeed has its uniqueness, but it is now far insufficient to resist my Flame Power. I have the Thousand-Year Fire and Alsace Dragon Flame, as well as my own Fire Magical Power, perhaps already the strongest Fire Magical Power in the Magic Black Forest."

"And now, I might also acquire a flame from the Vesta Holy Land. I’ve taken a liking to that fire."

The voice of Ivita changed the expression of the Frankish.

The old Frankish commander Glore, stormed with fear and uncontrollable anger, declared, "You are not the Aries witch. You are... Ivita, the King of Alsace."
