Chapter 10: Big Melee
Dead silence.
The air seemed to freeze.
The entire hall fell into deathly silence.
Every king and noble, every foreign prince and princess, held their breath.
"What are you doing?"
The king stood up in anger.
"Why? Why! I invited you to this grand banquet and treated you to a sumptuous feast! But you cast a curse on Princess Aurora and my kingdom?"
The king shouted to the guards around him: "Catch her, catch this ungrateful black witch!"
The guards raised their sharp weapons and surrounded the black witch.
The other 12 witches also had solemn expressions. They raised their wands and pointed them vigilantly in the direction of the witch.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The black witch laughed so hard that her posture became messy.
"Yes, my respected Majesty, you invited me to the banquet and gave me a sumptuous dinner. Am I not repaying you with my best wishes?"
Bang!
The black witch pointed her finger and a bolt of lightning struck the table, shattering the golden plate on it.
That was the golden plate she had eaten on before.
The ornately carved gold plate shattered, revealing the cheap silver-white metal color inside! "Your Majesty, I know that you, like everyone else in this kingdom, are unwilling to give me the same treatment as the other 12 witches!
"In fact, I don't need your recognition at all. So what if I'm the king of a country? Your entire kingdom's army combined are just a bunch of bugs to me!"
Looking at the broken plates on the ground, the king was stunned.
The next second, he figured out the reason.
"No, this is a misunderstanding! The craftsman used inferior gold to pass it off as good quality. Originally, this plate was supposed to be pure gold."
The black witch continued laughing, "So what if this is a misunderstanding? Hahaha, it's really a perfect misunderstanding.
"I've wanted to do this for a long time!"
The black witch's stern gaze swept across the 12 witches in front of her who were on high alert.
“I am obviously the most powerful witch of all, more powerful than all of them combined.
“But you fear me, terrify me, and slander me in secret, only because I am better and can master darker powers that they cannot reach!
“Now, I offer my last gift before I leave this kingdom.
"The curse has been placed. It can never be lifted unless I die!"
Rhine couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the black witch's distorted face and crazy laughter.
This is totally a sensitive, neurotic crazy woman!
Even if there was nothing wrong with the golden plate, she might still be irritated by other details.
The 12 witches could no longer tolerate the black witch being so rampant.
"Don't think you're the only one who knows magic. No matter how powerful you are, there's only one of you!"
The Violet Fairy, who was in the lead, pointed her wand at the Black Witch and pronounced loudly:
"Since the curse can be lifted if you die! Let you pay for your sins here!"
The king also commanded the soldiers around him to surround the black witch.
Facing the 12 witches and the large group of soldiers who broke into the ceremony, the black witch showed no fear.
"Feel honored. You will have the opportunity to witness my most powerful form with your own eyes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pale green flame ignited on her dark cloak.
The woman's thin, pale body rapidly swelled and exploded.
Rumble.
In an instant, the black witch turned into a huge black dragon.
The dragon's head hit the ceiling, and the flapping of its wings made the entire palace tremble, with dust and rubble falling.
The foreign dignitaries and princes screamed.
They either fled in all directions or hid under the tables in the palace hall.

Rhine did not hesitate and quickly stood in front of the panicked king and queen.
"It's dangerous, retreat quickly! Leave this to me!"
The soldiers shot at the evil dragon, and the sharp arrows hit the black dragon scales, like eggs hitting steel, and were easily bounced off.
The 12 witches performed their own magic.
Some witches took out bright mirrors and faced the black dragon. The mirror could suck away the souls of enemies who looked directly at it; some witches pointed their magic wands at the black dragon, trying to turn Maleficent into a toad; some witches sang weird songs, trying to distort and enchant Maleficent's mind.
All these efforts were in vain.
The dragon shrugged, easily resisting the magic that tried to affect it.
The witches' faces turned pale, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and they felt the genuine despair from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, the witches realized that even though they were collectively known as the 13 witches in the kingdom, there was an insurmountable gap between them and their colleague.
Maleficent in front of him was a true legendary magic master, a terrifying existence that could destroy a kingdom just because of a whim! The black dragon spewed out a pale green flame, sweeping across the hall in an instant.
Large numbers of soldiers were reduced to ashes before they could even scream.
The 12 good witches barely used magic to protect themselves. They retreated again and again, looking miserable and miserable. Their faces were all blackened. They no longer looked noble, elegant and unfathomable as before.
"My beloved king, you don't really think that this mob of people under your command can hurt me at all, do you?"
Maleficent transformed into a black dragon and laughed wildly.
"Foolish king, you can still accept your fate and live for another ten years until the curse takes effect. Since you are unwilling to wait, why not become my food now?"
The next moment, the black dragon flapped its wings vigorously and swooped down towards the throne where the king and queen were, spewing out pale green flames from its mouth again.
“Oh no!”
The Violet Fairy, the leader of the 12 witches, was horrified as she watched the black dragon spewing flames and rushing towards the throne.
She seemed to see that in the next moment, the king, the queen and the handsome young man beside them would be engulfed by the flames.
The queen was nearly unconscious from shock.
Looking at the green flames that were about to engulf him, the usually calm old king turned pale and could not help but close his eyes.
However, the burning sensation that seemed to devour him did not come.
