Olivia recalled Willow's words about the spell on Jacqueline. Strangely enough, Jacqueline was all tied up. She couldn't do anything to manipulate the bugs.

"No. She's not a witch. It's because of the spell!" Olivia figured it out.

Willow nodded in agreement.

"Hurry! Tell those people to come inside"

Jacqueline didn't pose that much threat, but the spell on her could work as a tracker. The witch could track down her whereabouts accurately. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Those densely packed bugs surely weren't a good sign. The other party might intend to exterminate all of them. Once the guards were killed, the other party could take away Jacqueline easily.

In the past, Olivia might have thought such tales were a myth and wondered how scary a bunch of bugs could be. However, her experience told her otherwise.

The village where she and Willow once stayed was an isolated residence of the minority community that had remained hidden from the world for a thousand years. The villagers were most skilled in spells. Willow was born after a difficult labor, in which Olivia nearly lost her life due to severe bleeding.

In addition to Willow's green eyes, the villagers believed that she was a divine gift. When Willow was born, the villagers cast a banned spell to protect her. That was why poison and spells would never fear her. Furthermore, they would teach Willow spells during their free time as the village was located in nature.

Olivia tried to learn, but she didn't have the talent for it.

Although she couldn't learn it, she had witnessed how powerful a spell could be. A simple spell could basically manipulate a human.

The legendary killer that topped the killer charts was said to be invisible. Even without the use of weapons, he never left a trace whenever he murdered someone.

Olivia had enough reasons to believe that he could cast spells too, but he was mysterious. His origin was a mystery, and he rarely accepted missions. Although it had been years since he last accepted missions, stories of him spread like legend within the circle.

After knowing all this, Olivia would never underestimate a puny bug anymore.

It was no wonder Jacqueline was fearless. She knew that someone would come to save her!

"How about I impart some knowledge, Olivia? Those bugs are cultivated to kill people. They've been fed with a thousand kinds of poisons since they were young. Every part of them is poisonous. Once they enter a human's body, the person will instantly die of poisoning.

"Hiding in a building won't help. As long as I'm here, they'll find a way to intrude on the building no matter how small the crevice is. I wonder how many crevices we can find in this run-down mansion?"

She caught a breath before continuing, "They're not only very poisonous, but they're intrusive too. They'll squeeze their way into every hole they see. From the nose, ears, and mouth, they'll find their way to ge to the human brain and heart.

"Have you seen anyone having their heart eaten up? I'll show you how it works today."

Olivia rushed out of the room.

Willow could cast spells, but she didn't bring any cursed items along with her.

Olivia shouted, "Get inside the building! Don't touch the bugs! You'll die!"

None of the people outside retreated. Ethan had realized the problem earlier on. His back remained straight despite the urgency of the situation.

"Ethan, do you hear me? Those are trained cursed bugs! Just one of them is enough to kill you! Tell your men to retreat!" she urged.

He flashed her a gentle smile instead. "My men don't have that option, Liv."

At the same time, a line of people saluted professionally. "We're ready, sir."

Olivia noticed that many of them were geared with flamethrowers.

With a single order from Ethan, the flamethrowers projected streams of flame into the air, reaching those bugs in the air.

Those bugs were burned and fell onto the ground.

Olivia pointed at the ground of toasted bugs. "I think... your trump card is gone."
