Chapter 390 - Volume 3
Chapter 169 – The Blood of Darkness
A vine shot out at Scarlett at a startling speed, but it was clear that Andesha underestimated the latter’s strength. Even though she was tired and hungry, she was able to take Brendel along with her and somersaulted into the air, dodging the vine’s attack.
Scarlett’s eyes were full of hatred as she stared at Andesha. She did not know that Andesha was one of the twelve leaders of the Tree Shepherds, but she knew that she was definitely not a match for her.
Andesha was taken aback and lightly mumbled to herself in surprise: “Hmmm? Isn’t the Acolyte of lightning a spellcaster type? An altered bloodline? My, my, what amazing luck.”
But the arrogant woman pulled back her whip-like vine and did not attack again, and instead looked at Scarlett with her light purple eyes: “You’re not my match. Come with me obediently, and this lady will not hurt you.”
Scarlett shook her head firmly.
“Tsk,” Andesha let a vine hang loosely, “humans are truly creatures who don’t weep unless they face death. Listen well, I cannot ensure that I don’t hurt you in the process.”
Scarlett merely readied her stance and prepared to attack anytime. Her fingers were curled into claws, and golden sigils suddenly appeared over her arms.
“Stop?” Andesha took out a black crystal before she stopped, waiting patiently: “Is that really what you want? Remember this, this is the only way you can save your lord, or he will definitely die.”
Scarlett was silenced. She stared at Andesha in disbelief, but she eventually spoke: “You……. You’re lying.”
“Of what reasons do I have to deceive you, child? I am not the priests from the Holy Cathedral who have the ability to raise the near-dead and fallen. I can save this boy, but this is my only way.”
