Chapter 470
Chapter 470 You Help Me, I Help You
Sadly, the battle that Mary had been preparing for didn’t break out.
Alice crushed her bubbling will to fight with a single sentence.
“Sister Mary, do you not want to break free of the bloodline shackles on your body? ” Alice had no choice but to throw her trump card out into the open when she saw how eager Mary was to go.
The phrase, bloodline shackles, was like a sharp awl, stabbing right into Mary’s heart. Her crimson eyes opened wide, her hair started billowing, and her bat wings suddenly unfurled. Her bloodthirst had reached its limits.
“What……did……you……say?” Mary’s face suddenly became cruel and violent. She pressed in on Alice one step at a time as if about to strike at any moment.
“I said, I can help you find the vampire that gave you your bloodline!” Alice was utterly unfazed by Mary’s abnormality. She spoke without any change in her tone.
However Snowlotus, who was standing right behind her, suddenly had her skin turn even more crystalline and radiant. A violent and savage storm of ice and snow started gathering within her body, about to be unleashed at any moment.
Alice, who had just been sobbing, immediately broke into a radiant smile. She grabbed Mary’s hand and swung it about, “As expected, Sister Mary really loves Alice. Alice will also try her best to do help Sister Mary on her matter.”
Having said that, Alice leaned up to Mary’s ears and whispered a few sentences.
As expected, this was no easy task. The enemy was the Dark Witches!
This Alice had indeed found a good opponent for herself.
Mary sighed and left with tremendous resentment in her heart.

Bee’s Nest.
As the den of the Aba Beemen, the security of the bee’s nest was undoubtedly the strictest of all.
However, the appearance of a mysterious phantom these days had plunged the ‘powerful’ Aba Beemen into endless horror.
Over the past month, nearly a hundred beeman soldiers had gone missing. That was the gift that the mysterious phantom had bestowed upon the Aba Beemen. Moreover, as the mysterious ghost grew stronger with each passing day, he was no longer satisfied with waiting to ambush beemen hunting squads near the border. Instead, he actively invaded the territories of the beemen.
Now, even patrolling in the forest near the bee’s nest was no longer a safe errand.
With no other choice left to him, the Beeman Commander had to shrink the defensive line and increase the number of men in the hunting squads from its initial fifteen men to the current thirty. The lack of food also halted the Aba Queen’s act of quickly expanding the tribe.
The number of beeman soldiers in the bee’s nest had fallen from its peak of five hundred and sixty men to its current number of four hundred and thirty-six men. The number of hunting squads had also been reduced from twenty-five to ten. It was an incredible blow to the bee’s nest!
The beemen’s detailed investigations finally allowed them to figure out the situation. The one attacking the beeman hunting squads was no magical creature, but a human apprentice adept.
And this was precisely what confused and bewildered the Aba beemen.
What means did an ordinary human apprentice adept possess to devour so many beeman soldiers?
This question was finally answered by some beeman soldiers that had been fortunate enough to escape.
That damned human apprentice had walked upon the terrifying path of a bloodline adept. He could transform into a frightening bug man and continuously strengthen himself by devouring the bodies of beeman soldiers. He was also capable of hatching strange scorpions to act as his soldiers.
Moreover, the scorpions that he hatched could hide under the ground. This ability was why the bee’s nest was incapable of finding the enemy, despite sending out so many search parties!
The Aba Beemen even sent messengers to the human adept’s tower to protest the enemy crossing over agreed upon borders.
Sadly, the human adept, that was skinny enough that he looked like a giant mouse, took out the peace agreement that he had signed earlier and rebutted. Spit flew everywhere as he explained elaborately to the beeman messenger that all of the adepts had stayed within the tower. None of them had taken a single step into magical creature territory.
On the other hand, the conditions of the peace agreement did not regulate the actions of apprentice adepts.
Thus…
Fire Throne would not be responsible for any actions of the bug apprentice. If the Aba Beemen didn’t like him, they were free to kill him and eat his body.
Going to the human adept’s tower had yielded no result. Yet, it was also impossible for them to go asking for help from the other magical creatures nearby.
As such, the Aba Queen flew into a rage!
