Chapter 869 - Mary's Path
Chapter 869 Mary’s Path
Mary dashed through the swamp at an unprecedented speed.
Numerous swamps and withered ghost trees appeared in her vision before vanishing behind her. The scenery started to blur. All objects turned into splotches of color that mixed together, making it ever harder to distinguish between them.
Mary could now fly across the sky even without the help of the bat wings on her back.
A long crimson afterimage dragged behind Mary as she made her way across the swamp. The tips of her feet lightly touched the grass floating on the marsh. That slight bit of force was enough for her to walk across it.
A swirling snowstorm was ravaging the Silent Swamp in the distance. Where the snowstorm passed, mud and swamps were froze while thorns and bushes were sealed in ice. Even the ferocious magical creatures that hid a dozen meters beneath the mud were turned into ice sculptures by an extreme chill, quickly losing all of their life force.
The snowstorm was advancing at a very high speed.
The silhouette of a slender, tall woman could be seen hovering at the edge of the wild storm. The terrifying snowstorm was like a beautiful veil cast upon her lithe body, covering the world in white and blue as she walked forward.
Morgana pursued another kilometer before reluctantly stopping.
The snowstorm roared and raged around her, turning the surroundings into a world of ice and snow.
Unfortunately, regardless of how furious she was, there was no changing the fact that the enemy had escaped!
That damned Second Grade vampire. Her combat power was no match for her, but that terrifying speed alone left Morgana incapable of doing anything.
So what if her magic powers were tremendously powerful?
Everything was for naught if she couldn’t catch up!
For the first time, Morgana started to slightly regret never putting in a bit more work into her speed in the past.
This short ‘contact’ in the depths of the Silent Swamp was not known by anyone else.
Mary might have exhausted her Spirit, and her body might have been slightly injured from the explosion of blood energy, but her heart was boiling with excitement. It was so much so that she couldn’t keep herself composed.
That was because she had clearly seen her future path of development during the battle earlier.
This style of combat was what suited her the most. It was also immensely powerful!
Mary did not delay at all. Her body turned into a crimson flash as she flew fifty kilometers and returned to the Tower of Fate.
At this moment, Mary was suddenly extremely confident in her advancement to Third Grade!
…………
The Tower of Fate.
Alice stood on the astrology platform alone, silently looking into the distance.
Of course, she couldn’t possibly see everything that was happening in the Silent Swamp from this distance, but everything that had just unfolded was displayed in a massive mirror wall in front of her.
The vast and brilliant star power slowly faded, and Alice’s lonely figured appeared frail and weak. Elementium Fairy Helen circled around her furiously, raising her voice as she questioned Alice.
“Why did you help her…why did you help her? That person is your competitor! Why would you exhaust your own power to help her? If it were me, I would curse her to lose control of her power and die at the hands of that Third Grade witch.”
Alice had just made it through her lethargy. She put on a pale smile when she saw Helen’s furious appearance.
“You little brat, where did you learn all these bad things? You’re still young. You don’t understand the meaning of a companion! If we started scheming and plotting against each other, then this newly formed organization would soon begin to falling apart. The more powerful our allies, the better they can protect us. Isn’t that…good?”
“Hmph! I can’t convince you either way. Still, I don’t think you should have helped that Mary girl. She…she’s always wrapped around that guy!” Helen’s voice got smaller and smaller.
“That’s my business, isn’t it?” Alice chuckled weakly, “Alright, no more bantering. Bring me back to rest, please!”
As the master and the fairy slowly left the room, the astrology platform once again turned dark and silent!
