Chapter 1552: Welcome home
The green flames gradually spread. At first, only a few commoners came to put out the fire, but they soon discovered that water could not extinguish these green flames at all.
Hades had three burning stages. If it wasn't extinguished in the first two stages, it would be impossible to extinguish by the third stage.
Now was the first stage of Hades. In this stage, Hades did not have a terrifying temperature, but it had strong adhesion and spreadability.
When the commoners realized they couldn't extinguish the green flames, they began to flee outward.
"Don't run, put out the fire first."
"Water can't extinguish this fire."
"Go get seawater!"
As the fire grew, the commoners gave up on putting it out and fled toward the beach area on the outskirts of West Port.
"Don't run! Whoever dares to run, I'll burn them to death."
A sharp shout came, and the commoners fleeing toward the beach stopped. A witch stood in front of them.
Looking at these terrified commoners, the witch stomped her foot in anger. Suppressing the urge to kill these people, she walked up to the raging green flames.
The witch didn't panic as she watched the green flames spreading toward her feet. She was a fire-type ability user, and controlling flames was just a daily routine for her.
The witch pressed one hand to the ground, and invisible fluctuations spread. A small patch of green flame landed on the back of her hand. The witch didn't care; her eyes were closed, intending to use her avatar to control the green flames.
The witch's eyes suddenly widened. Her right hand was actually burning fiercely. Before she could react, the green flames had already spread to her upper body.
"Ah!!"
After a shrill scream, the witch who was good at controlling flames was burned to death alive. Seeing this scene from afar, Su Xiao couldn't help but admire the witch's courage. He wouldn't even dare to touch Hades in its second stage himself; this thing was basically uncontrollable, which was also why he rarely used Hades.
When a "god" bleeds, it is no longer a god. This fire-type witch was just like that; she was burned to death alive in front of those commoners. Some timid women and children were so scared they fainted directly.
After a few screams, the crowd continued to swarm toward the beach area.
Melodie stared blankly at the burning green flames. She had thought Su Xiao would kill a large number of witches in West Port, but she hadn't expected Su Xiao to directly burn down West Port, and to do so just after arriving.
The reason Su Xiao did this was, firstly, to disperse the commoners, and secondly, to force out the witches. He didn't know how many witches were in West Port, and finding them one by one would be too troublesome.
The green flames pushed upward like a tide toward the buildings above. Wherever they passed, everything turned into charcoal. Hades had entered the third stage ahead of schedule, and there was no possibility of it being extinguished.
At the same time, Amu on the coast walked toward the cliff.
Inside the highest building in West Port, a woman with golden hair stood in front of the window. Under the reflection of the sunlight, her golden hair looked like it was burning.
Messy footsteps came from behind the woman.
"My lord, enemies have invaded the rear."
A witch knelt on one knee, and the golden-haired woman turned her head to look at her.
"I saw it."
The golden-haired woman's tone was calm. She wore a golden dress, and although her appearance was stunning, she brought more of a sense of majesty.
"My lord, that is... the front."
The voice of the witch kneeling on one knee grew lower and lower. Her Queen was almost perfect, the only flaw being her confused sense of direction.
"So it was the front."
The golden-haired woman smiled, seemingly unconcerned about the stone houses swallowed by the flames.
"Subordinate suggests immediately gathering manpower to extinguish those green flames..."
"No need to go."
The golden-haired woman walked up to the witch kneeling on one knee.
"Let them all come to the castle, everyone."
"But those buildings..."
The witch kneeling on one knee looked up. Those residential houses had been built by generations of slaves, which was how West Port had its current scale.
"Those are not important. Burn them down and rebuild. It doesn't matter if the slaves die out; you are the important ones."
The golden-haired woman pressed one hand on the witch's head, and the witch kneeling on one knee felt her pupils tremble.
"Yes, my lord."
The witch stood up. Her hands were shaking—not out of fear, but out of excitement from the bottom of her heart.
Watching the witch run out of the room quickly, the golden-haired woman smiled. Human hearts were such interesting things.
On the outskirts of West Port, Su Xiao stood on top of a residential house. This area had not yet been affected by Hades. Judging by the fire, the green flames would likely not reach here.
Adjusting the scope of Duke of Silence, Su Xiao frowned. He didn't see any witches coming to put out the fire. The reason he set the fire was to attract those witches out and then snipe them one by one.
The current situation was clearly different from what he had expected. Not only were there no witches coming to put out the fire, but the commoners had also scattered and fled.
Just as Su Xiao was planning to give up on sniping the witches, a suspicious figure appeared in the scope. It was a little witch, 12 or 13 years old.
This little witch was moving through the crowd. Instead of fleeing toward the beach area, she was running toward the castle at the highest point.
Realizing this, Su Xiao knew why no witches were coming to put out the fire. Clearly, the leader of West Port had ordered all the witches to gather together.
Putting away Duke of Silence, Su Xiao was suddenly not in a hurry. If Hades could burn up to the castle, that would be an unexpected gain, and he could then snipe the stragglers. Even if Hades didn't spread up there, the witches had gathered, saving Su Xiao from having to search everywhere.
Just as Su Xiao lit a cigarette to watch the fire, a spatial fluctuation came from behind him.
*Zheng. *
Zhan Long Shan was unsheathed. Su Xiao rushed in front of Melodie in a few steps and slashed down.
*Pfft! *
Blood splattered, and a sickly green arm was severed. Unfortunately, another sickly green arm grabbed Melodie by the back of her neck.
"Jie jie jie..."
A cold, chilling laugh came. The space behind Melodie twisted, and she was dragged into an different dimension.
"Witch Hunter, you will die without a burial place just like her..."
*Swish! * A blade light flashed, and the chilling voice stopped abruptly. A nearly shattered head was expelled from the different dimension.

……
With one slash, the old witch who was showing off in the different dimension was slaughtered by Su Xiao. His gaze swept around. Melodie should also have been expelled from the different dimension, but she wasn't here; she was likely at the starting point of the different dimension.
Inside the castle at the highest point, Melodie fell to the ground with a thud. The smell of blood spread.
A headless corpse pressed down on her. Lying on the cold marble floor, Melodie pushed the corpse off her. At this moment, she discovered over a dozen pairs of eyes looking down at her.
"I say... I didn't kill Cassandra. Do you believe me?"
Looking at these "acquaintances," Melodie, sitting on the ground, swallowed hard. These acquaintances sneered one after another. Of course they believed her; given Melodie's combat power, it would be strange if Cassandra had died at her hands.
"Welcome home."
A gentle female voice came. Hearing this voice, Melodie shivered.
"Qu, Queen, I hope you are well." ===== CHAPTER 1553 =====
