Chapter 448 Chapter 9 Silver-haired Young Girl Under the Tree Shade
“ This kind of power, very much like the magic that lost its divine spark and died in Anderdun…”
Seeing the corpses on the ground rapidly wither into skeletons, the remaining life force being eroded and annihilated, Verafia’s eyes narrowed slightly, instinctively thinking of the authority of the Wing of Death, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race.
However, as soon as this thought appeared, she shook her head and dismissed it.
“No, although it also annihilates life force, there is an essential difference from the divine power of death. Moreover, compared to pure death, it is more like the silence after destruction…”
“Veer, look there!”
Igt’s voice sounded.
At the place Igt pointed, countless viscous, pitch-black forces spread across the ground. A black tree was rooted in it, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Every black branch and leaf exuded a destructive power that twisted space!
Besides this destructive tree, in the pitch-black shadow cast, a tall figure wearing a heavy black robe stood among the scattered white bones of the dead thieves, undoubtedly the mastermind behind this bandit den.
Opposite the tall figure was naturally the being who had previously fought him, whose released shockwave directly presented the destructive space, expanded by the spell, before Igt and the others.
However, to Igt’s surprise, the being causing such violent fluctuations was not the powerful Sword Saint or Saint Rank Grand Mage he had imagined, but rather a slender young girl holding a staff with her fair, slender hand.
Even from a great distance, under a strand of silver-white hair, Igt could vaguely sense that this young girl was not very old, and her demeanor could even be described as tender.
“A young girl…wait, and this black tree, it was summoned by her enemy just now…”
Amidst the tearing wind infused with destructive aura, Andes suddenly stepped forward, his blue eyes as sharp as swords, and said.
“Igt, just as we discussed before, the purpose of this bandit cave was to secretly steal the Soccer Magic Crystals. And those high-energy magic crystals were undoubtedly to nurture this destructive tree!”
Igt nodded.
Needless to say, Verafia and Andes watched. Even Igt himself could clearly feel that under the ground where the black tree was rooted, an unimaginable amount of magic crystals were splitting, transforming into energy, and being continuously absorbed by it, drawing out black branches and leaves.
At this moment, the branches and leaves of the pitch-black tree suddenly twitched. In space, the surging destructive aura kicked up a destructive storm, almost annihilating the concepts of time and space. Igt didn’t even have time to react as it spread before him!
“Boom!”
Andes shielded the young man with his arm. The destructive storm collided with a deafening roar. The youth’s deep blue hair was stirred by the overflowing gale, and a rare look of solemnity appeared on his face.
The destructive storm caused by the twitching branches also affected the young girl directly facing it.
Her fine, slender hair, like silver moonlight threads, slightly clung to her fair skin. Her slender fingers tightly gripped the staff, and she stood up from the ground.
The girl lightly bit her tender, thin lips with her teeth, forcefully raised her starlight-blue eyes, as clear and bright as gems, and looked at the pitch-black giant tree behind the tall figure, revealing a trace of unwillingness.
“Miss Aisi, it seems that other people have come to rescue you. I wonder, are they your companions?”
The figure in the black robe had obviously sensed the arrival of Igt and the others.
However, under the pitch-black giant tree, there was no panic at all. The voice from the figure in the black robe sounded exceptionally calm, even with a smile.
“Mmm…”
The silver-haired young girl, addressed as “Aisi,” slightly turned her eyes and saw Igt and the others who had arrived. Surprise flickered in her sapphire-like beautiful eyes, and she forcefully shook her head:
“It has nothing to do with them… it was just me alone who destroyed your camp.”
“Heh. Miss Aisi, even now, you still think about other people?”
The figure in the black robe smiled. “Unfortunately, since you’ve set foot in this place, whether you can leave is not up to you!”
Following the voice, Igt clearly felt that the gaps in the entire space were completely sealed by the viscous destructive aura, like mercury.
Of course, even an idiot would know that this kind of secret, which obviously could not be a small matter at first glance, would definitely be better dealt with by killing to silence them.
What truly surprised Igt was that the young girl personally admitted to destroying the entire bandit camp by herself.
Now that he was closer, Igt could feel that the silver-haired young girl called “Aisi” looked about the same age as Miss Phoenix beside him, even appearing younger, perhaps around thirteen or fourteen years old.
Gazing at the tall black figure, the silver-haired young girl’s slender hand tightly gripped the staff, and a trace of indignation appeared in her beautiful eyes.
However, she suppressed the impulse to cast spells directly.
“However, what surprises me is you, Miss Aisi. I’ve heard your name more than once… and even on quite a few noble wanted posters.”
The tall, dark figure also did not rush to make a move. He looked at the young girl’s wide, angry eyes and spoke calmly.
“Underground casinos, slave markets, and bandit camps, yes, there are dozens of noble lords whom you have taught a lesson alone… I originally thought, what would a Miss Witch who promotes justice look like, I never expected her to be such a beautiful and young little thing…”
“I wonder, to which Lord are you the daughter?”
The colors in Aisi’s eyes rippled slightly, but she pursed her lips and remained silent.
“Eh, to be a noble young lady, but to pretend to be a righteous ranger, punishing evil and promoting good… this kind of thing, it feels like a plot you’d read about in a novel, Ophi!”
Hearing the description of the silver-haired young girl by the tall, dark figure, Verafia’s big eyes showed a trace of novelty, and she quickly shared her thoughts with Ophi.
Ophi nodded vigorously, raised her cheeks, and seriously uttered in a soft and tender tone.
“It seems so. Verafia, this human Miss named Aisi should be a good person… we have to help her!”
Listening to the conversation between the two young girls, Igt’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. He thought to himself, at this time, with such a relaxed tone, don’t you two young ladies feel that it’s out of place?
However, Igt only thought about it in his heart.
There was no need to mention Ophi, the naturally naive Ice Dragon little princess. As for his own young lady… well, given her status, she likely viewed everything as a mere game.
The destructive branches of the pitch-black giant tree seemed to sway. Beneath the pitch-black tree shadow, the man in the black robe stared at the silver-haired young girl, and his voice suddenly sounded again.
“Then, I wonder, what method did Miss Aisi use to find this place?”
The man’s voice echoed in the vast space for a while. The silver-haired young girl forcefully raised her face:
“It’s just that your subordinate bandits were too vicious. I happened to run into them.”
“Is that all?”
The man in the black robe mused, and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Then, Miss Aisi, you are truly lucky.”
“Indeed I am lucky… Count Albert Lostia of Riel Territory!”
The silver-haired girl suddenly forcefully pushed up the staff in her hand, her beautiful, gem-like big eyes staring directly at the man’s figure. “If it weren’t for luck, I wouldn’t have known you were here cultivating such evil creatures!”
