Chapter 987 Dragons Declare War On Witches
Angel Continent.
A long blue-haired Angel, appearing like a divine being, stood in a mystical forest by the third largest holy capital of the world—the Vatican City.
Unlike usual, Noman was in his butler outfit this time. He was on official business here and couldn't wear his informal minimal clothing. That helped him connect better with his surroundings, but it didn't matter much.
Beside Noman was his new subordinate. A lady with a really holy aura around her, that being none other than Saintess Helen who Lith brought from the stew world.
"Your first ever official mission is to make the Angels of Vatican panic. It should be of such a magnitude that it shakes the Angel Society," Noman said calmly.
Helen bowed, her expression calm. "Understood, Your Holiness."
The haughtiness of a Saintess was gone. What was left was her true, pure, and untrained self. She was a virtuous human connected deeply with the Light and Life element.
She had pride in it for many years as she was at the top of her world, far stronger than even the Devils.
However, after arriving in this new world and getting taken by Noman, she realized just how much she was lacking. Compared to him, she was nothing but a speck of dust.
The very aura that Noman let out was enough proof for her. But with the way he talked and did things, it further solidified her trust in him.
Helen fully devoted herself to worshiping the element of Light. Saintess Selena was the paragon back in her world, but this new world opened up new opportunities, and the elemental energy here was so much purer and denser.
While being under Noman, she was sure that she could learn a lot of things.
She blindly followed every command he gave her, because she had trust that he wouldn't take any wrong steps.
Technically, Noman wasn't taking a wrong step here. He was causing a holy war, but it was all for the greater good.
Helen took her leave and went to attack a group of angels roaming around the mystical forest.
After she was gone, Noman disappeared and reappeared in the Demon Continent.
It was dark everywhere with the purple-silver moon emitting its moonlight everywhere.
Noman calmly barged into a prison in the capital of Pride and took hold of a few powerful and vile Demons.
The Demons did not know what occurred and fell unconscious immediately.
Noman had morals and wouldn't hurt innocent people, even if they were Demons.
After capturing them, he went back to the Angel Continent and let the Demons run wild.
With that, a panic ensued in the Vatican which was situated deep within the continent, and all of the Angels went on high alert.

Star Dragon City, Dragon Continent.
A man with orange horns and an air of authority around him walked up to the gates of the Empress' Castle.
The gates opened up on their own and a few Dragon servants took the man inside.
In the court, Mayzin sat on her throne made of precious and extremely rare materials found throughout the world.
She leaned on her side, resting her face on her propped up fist as she looked at the visitor Dragon.
The middle-aged Dragon with a timeless charm around him walked into the court and directly looked Mayzin in the eye.
"Greetings," he said flatly.
"Greetings, Dagassi." Mayzin replied. "What's with the sudden visit?"
Dagassi looked at her and sighed. "I've come to consult on an important matter."
Mayzin took out a tablet from out of nowhere and sent it towards Dagassi.
"Is it this one?"
Dagassi had a look at it and saw many female figures wearing pointy hats burn down a village at the borders of Time Dragon City.
Time Dragon City was a major place within the Dragon Continent as it was the home of the Dragon Emperor Dagassi, a Supreme Rank authority.
"Yes." Dagassi sighed. "Witches do not initiate aggression like that, but judging from how they were being led by a powerful Witch that could even kill a few of our Emperors, I'm sure that something major is brewing in their heads."
Mayzin drummed her fingers on her cheek as she pondered over this matter.
"The Witches aren't stupid to openly attack. Are you sure it was really them and not someone else?"
"Yes. I personally went to capture them. They're imprisoned under the city's dungeon."
"A troublesome matter then…" Mayzin said.
"Indeed. As far as we know, Florencia isn't stupid enough to attack a race that has not one or two, but three Supremes." Dagassi put out his thoughts.
Mayzin nodded her head. "And as you said, she's smart, and even if she has initiated an attack, there must've been some thought put behind it. What if… this was just the surface level thing to distract us?"
"To distract us?"
"Yes. What if there's some other major attacks happening secretly within the continent?"
"Now that you mention it…" Dagassi paused and pondered. His brows furrowed and a few moments later, he remembered something.
"There have been a lot of missing complaints lately. There's also complaints of theft, assault, and so on. The tribes are blaming each other for it and a lot of friction has appeared within the continent."
"See… I told you." Mayzin leaned back on her throne. "I do not know what Florencia is up to, but since we have been attacked, we can't just sit back and watch."
Dagassi nodded. "Should we retaliate?"
"Yes." Mayzin leaned forwards and said. "Show the proof of the Witches attacking us, then declare war on them. See what their reaction is, then take appropriate action."
Dagassi nodded again. "I shall take my leave and go prepare then."
…..
A month later.
Royal Castle, Nightingale.
Lith was sitting on a rooftop that had the views of the Lake of Bewitchment. It was so vast and deep that it could also be called a sea.
Lith had never bothered about the topography of the area he lived in, but after his adventures in other worlds, he was really interested about everything regarding his own world.
The first thing he did after being free from his 'duties' was to know about the topography.
The castle was located at a high elevation and exactly in the middle of Nightingale, which in turn was present in the middle of the other territories.
Nightingale was landlocked on all sides by the Duke countries. It didn't have access to the sea, but it had a lot of rivers and lakes. People apparently preferred these over the sea and adventure sports were really common in such places.
Coming back to the topic, Lith looked at the Lake of Bewitchment with amusement. This thing was called as such because of its captivating beauty, mysterious powers, and enchanting aura.
There were some legends connected to it, but they were irrelevant now.
The only important thing one should know about this lake is to never dive into it or drink its water or even try to canoe over it.
The lake would engulf the person, not even leaving their bones behind.
Such a scary thing was right in Lith's backyard and he never even thought about it. Had he fallen inside, he would've died.
Smiling and shaking his head, Lith crossed his legs and focused on the news on his tablet while sipping on tea.
"Breaking News! Breaking News! Breaking News!"
"The Dragons have declared war on the Witches!"
"Witch authorities in Rafflesia are shocked by the sudden declaration and are questioning the authorities of Time Dragon City."
"Time Dragon City has released a video in response. Here it is…"
Lith saw the video. It was some Witches burning down the borders of Time Dragon City and even killing a few Dragons.
"Heh. Hecate sure works fast. Now let me see if my maid Sylvia is going to cooperate with her and do her job or not." Lith commented and continued to watch the video.
"She's in for a punishment if she goes against me." Lith smiled and said.
He tuned into another news and heard:
"Hello this reporter Kwuinon with cameraman Argas reporting live from Sessmyrr, the capital of Fenrir Kingdom, where the Supreme Rank King Werewolf resides."
"A major terrorist attack has happened within the capital! I repeat a major attack has happened within the capital!"
The scene changed from the reporter to the place behind him.
A mighty, dark blue castle had a huge chunk of it blasted off. Fumes were still coming from that place and the citizens of the capital seemed to be screaming and running around like headless chickens.
"Audiences, as you can see, the very castle has been attacked! We do not know who has done it or how it has happened! But so far, there has been no news from the Werewolf authorities regarding this, and we can only show you the live scenes from afar."
"Ahhhhhhh! Help! Help! Help! The capital's attacked!"
A young werewolf screamed and ran towards the camera, eventually bumping into them.
"Ahhhhh! Help! Hel— beep!"
The live stream was cut off.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there have been some technical issues. We will get back to you after a short sponsor break."
ƈοm The news was gone and there were advertisements going on now.
Lith rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said with a smile, "Ruben sure knows how to liven things up."
