Duchy of Winter, Province of St. Alexis, Pillar of the Poisonous Fern.
Bella landed on all fours, running fast on the ground.
Yes, she is not human, but a werewolf.
Her spine is not in the shape of a human, but that of a wolf. Her limbs were deformed into claws at the elbow and knee joints, and gray-white down grew on all four feet.
She also has short gray hair, which makes it difficult for her to be spotted in the snow wearing white leather armor.
She runs very fast—even in snow, she can reach more than eighty kilometers per hour. And the protruding stones on the ground, the steep cliffs, and the broken stone pillars covered with dark green ferns couldn't bring any trouble to her running at all.
But her dark golden pupils were full of fear—
"You're the only one left, defector."
An indifferent and hollow voice sounded in the air, with heavy echoes.
The hair on Bella's body exploded instantly.
Without thinking about it, she changed her original direction of movement, and jumped onto a 10-meter-high steep rock pillar in two or three moves.
At the same time, her silver collar shone brightly.
Countless black runes flowed out from the silver collar, forming ferocious battle patterns on her face and collarbone.
And with the emergence of the curse pattern, her figure suddenly became light.
Without hesitation, Bella jumped into the air from the top of the rock pillar covered with poisonous ferns—her animal feet made ripples like water waves when they touched the air. But her speed has more than doubled again.
The wind visible to the naked eye formed a cloak-like wave behind her. The wind wrapped around her body, allowing her to move silently and freely in the air.
This is something that "Windrunner" can do.
But just then...
The sky darkened extremely quickly.
That's a dark cloud.
The speed at which the dark clouds covered the sun was much faster than Bella's speed in the air.
In front of Bella, the whistling gust of wind took shape instantly, engulfing the snow on the ground and turning it into a wall of blizzard reaching the sky, trapping her in the eye of the wind.
Bella looked up with some fear.
Under the dark clouds, a small girl in a white robe was floating in the air.
There was no emotion in her icy blue pupils, and her half-open eyes were full of god-like indifference.
The long, soft waist-length hair was no longer the harmless black it was when she was a child. Catalyzed by the power of the blood, it has turned into a slightly bluish silvery white at the end.
She was wearing a white gown like a gauze skirt, and on her head was a hollowed-out silver crown. On the slender and slender neck and bare ankles, there are fine and dense silver scales floating on the skin.
Of course Bella knew who this was.
Maria Coldwinter - the princess of this country. The only daughter of Duke Winter.
At the same time, he is also the current supreme ruler of the extraordinary institution "Hand of Winter" of the Duchy of Winter.
At the age of seventeen, he had already advanced to gold... a monster.
— there is no escape.
In desperation, Bella let out a long wolf howl.
Her body swelled rapidly, and soon turned into a giant wolf more than two meters high, standing upright.
Without the slightest timidity, she showed her sharp claws at the "Daughter of the Storm".
But the next thing she did was to tear off her own tongue.
Facing a golden rank wizard, she didn't have the confidence to control her body.
Facing her almost futile resistance, Maria showed no expression on her face.
She didn't even act like she saw anything.
It wasn't arrogance or contempt, it was sheer disregard.
"I don't want to say it... whatever."
Maria whispered, "Then [suicide]."
There was a curse-like magic in her cold voice.
I saw Bella's right hand sticking out without warning, like lightning, and pulled out her heart instantly.
Maria watched Bella's pupils gradually lose their color, and her body gradually fell from the air, before raising her head slightly in silence.
The next moment, her body instantly disintegrated into countless snowflakes, blending into the whistling ice storm around her.
The storm engulfed Bella's body in the air—it was instantly covered with frost, and fell into the snow one step ahead of the falling snow. After that, the storm that gradually subsided, wrapped in snow and fell again, burying it on the spot.
In the Principality of Winter, in every thick snow, the corpse of a transcendent may be buried.
A gust of storm blew by, and at some point, Maria's body emerged from the pillar that Bella was standing on.
She took out a pure white jade card from her bosom—on the card that was originally empty, it was already covered with handwriting at some point.
She carefully looked at the letter from Vasily Manning, and the long hair fluttering behind her gradually fell down.
The man in the mirror... huh
Silently chanting the name of the new god, there was no fluctuation in Maria's pupils.
Michelangelo did it.
Then this shows... There is no book of truth, and one can be promoted to a god.
Just be a god...
Her pupils are deep and distant.
At the end of what she was looking at, the extreme north of the Duchy of Winter... it was called the end of human civilization.
The materialized nightmare, the endless gray fog... and the undead who were once engulfed by the gray fog.
—As long as you become a god, you can freely step into the gray mist.
"Annan..."
She closed her eyes and murmured softly.
In the heart full of countless negative emotions, there was a rare moment of tranquility.
"Good news."
After digesting the good news, Maria replied coldly: "Get ready to go home, Vasily.
"Ten days later, a cargo ship covered with blue canvas will arrive at Frozenwater Port. You can leave by boat."
She then sent the message out.
But soon, a new reply appeared on it.
That was not the "received" she was familiar with.
It was information about her own brother who had been missing for more than a year—
"... Annan, in Noah?"
This is good news.
Annan did not disappear, nor was he killed by a rotting man...
But soon, her heart was filled with strong restlessness, anxiety and suspicion:
Annan also became a superhuman, that's all.
The key question is... How can he return to China
If Noah knew that Annan was trapped in his country, would he force him to do something? Will he be imprisoned? Will it torture him? Will Annan be imprisoned in exchange for benefits from Lindong? Will he be tortured for information? Will the rotting man hunt down the past? Can the old grandmother find Annan
Her calm state of mind was instantly disrupted, and countless possibilities that made her tremble and made her uneasy continued to emerge from the bottom of her heart.
"Annan... Annan Annan Annan Nanan Nanan Nananan..."
She murmured and repeated in a low voice.
Finally, Maria broke free from the restless emotions that kept emerging from the bottom of her heart.
-No matter how.
You have to tell your father about this matter.
... Do you want to go home
