Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Sis, I’m in Love!
The orders from Hugh King quickly reached the hands of several Beast Tamers monitoring Veridia.
"Miss Veridia, our master has instructed us to inform you that you only have three days left. Please decide quickly whether to form a Contract!"
This message, wrapped in spiritual power, was delivered to the courtyard.
Just as Aster Grant entered the Sanctum, Scarlett, who had just returned to the courtyard, heard these words.
???
"What’s going on with sister?"
After realizing what was happening, Scarlett immediately approached Veridia.
Why, during the time she had not been in the courtyard, was her sister being pressured into a Contract?
However, upon hearing this, Veridia’s expression remained unchanged.
Ten days reduced to three only meant less time spent in the City of Chaos for her.
Looking at the anxious Scarlett, she spoke calmly:
"Luna, it’s okay. Last time, that Monarch Level Beast Tamer tried to force a Contract with me!"
"But it’s alright, I’ve decided to leave here in two days. With you around, they can’t stop us!"
However.
Upon hearing this, Scarlett became anxious.
If her sister left here, how could she form a Contract with that human?
"Sister, wait! We can’t leave so simply; that human was hard to find, how can you give up so easily?"
Hearing this, Veridia gently patted Scarlett’s head.
"Luna, not everything will follow the path you imagine!"
"These results now only show that there is no fate between that human and us! So there’s no need to force it!"
Watching her sister’s nonchalant attitude towards the Contract.
Scarlett felt a sense of dread!
Once her sister makes a decision, she won’t change it easily.
Moreover...
Aster Grant had just entered the Sanctum and couldn’t form a Contract with her sister at all!
If things continued in this direction...
They would indeed miss the opportunity!
No way!
She couldn’t let things continue this way!
Scarlett’s little face creased with worry.
Think harder!
What does her sister care about?
Wait!
Although her sister usually acts indifferent, when it comes to her own matters...
"Sister! I can’t leave!"
Veridia immediately looked at her with confusion.
Scarlett held on, meeting her sister’s eyes, her gaze firm.
"Sister, I can’t leave!"
She repeated.
"Why?"
Veridia slightly frowned.
Her younger sister was always obedient, why was she refusing to leave today?
Looking into her sister’s questioning eyes, Scarlett swallowed hard.
Human...
Sorry!
I have no choice here!
I’ll apologize to you next time we meet.
After silently apologizing to Aster Grant in her heart, Scarlett took a deep breath:
"Sister, do you know why I’ve been going out lately?"
Veridia frowned slightly, a ripple appearing in her aquamarine eyes.
This question indeed piqued her interest!
"Sister, I’m in love! I’ve fallen for a human! I can’t leave here!"
"So during this time, I was going to see that human!"
In love?!
Veridia’s pupils suddenly contracted.
She knew her sister too well...
Scarlett, who had never defied her over the years, was acting so abnormal today...
There was only one explanation:
She was telling the truth!
"Boom——!"
The black Ghost Pattern spread over Veridia’s body like a living creature, and a violent Ghost Qi soared into the sky.
The courtyard’s bricks exploded under the pressure, and the walls tore apart like paper.
Her naively pure sister, how could she suddenly fall in love with a human!
There was only one possibility...
That human had deceived her sister’s feelings!
"Where is that human...?"
Veridia’s voice seemed to come from The Netherworld.
Under this pressure, Scarlett’s body trembled involuntarily, but she stubbornly lifted her head:
"My boyfriend... has gone to the Sanctum! He’ll be back in two or three days! Sister, I won’t go with you!"
Boy...friend?
The Ghost Pattern around Veridia surged violently, the temperature within a hundred meters dropping to freezing point.
She recalled those rumors about despicable humans——
Scoundrels specialized in deceiving innocent Xenos girls...
Now they dared target my sister!
"Boom——"
Even more terrifying Ghost Qi shot up in a beam of light, causing the buildings across the street to tremble violently.
The Commander Level Beast Tamers monitoring from afar turned pale upon sensing this aura!
"What’s wrong with this Ghost Race? Why did they suddenly unleash such a terrifying aura? Is she trying to force her way out of our blockade?"
"No wonder Hugh King insists on a Contract with her!"
"Why do I feel like this Ghost Race is now stronger than my Beastbond! And I’m at Commander Level!"
"Quickly report to Hugh King, this Ghost Race is about to escape!"
...
Within the Sanctum.
Aster Grant was still unaware of the huge trouble Scarlett had caused for him.
At the moment, everyone had been transported to the second layer of the "Mystic Realm of Ascension!"
Perhaps because he extracted the Demon Pattern from that Demon Clan corpse, this led to...
Among the original 50 who entered the Sanctum.
Not a single one was eliminated during the first layer of challenges.
Currently, everyone was gathered in a plaza.
All were discussing the anomalies of the first layer of the Sanctum!
"Isn’t this Sanctum challenge off? It ended in less than two hours!"
"Yes, I heard from seniors who participated in this Sanctum in previous years that the first layer is particularly difficult! Many are usually eliminated each year, but this year..."
"But passing is our limit, there are only three spots to enter the third layer, and considering we’re the fewest from Draconia, I don’t think any of us will get in..."
Only 10 participants were from Draconia this time.
Meanwhile, The Holy See occupied 25 spots, and The Council had 15.
There were only five advancement slots to the second layer.
This meant...
people present had to be eliminated!
In past trials, it was common for one dominant force to clear the field, ensuring that only their members entered the third layer.
The weaker, smaller groups were often the first to be eliminated!
This time, Draconia was the weaker side!
To prevent this from happening...
Unless, like four years ago!
A genius emerged from the weaker Draconia to dominate the scene!
Within The Holy See’s ranks, a blonde knight stepped forward and whispered:
"Saintess, I suggest we clear out the members of Draconia first. As for The Council..."
His gaze involuntarily drifted to Veronica, an audible gulp, forcing him to swallow the latter half of his sentence.
Can’t beat them!
The Saintess, at best, was evenly matched with that one!
If he really dared to speak out, he had no doubt the Saintess would kick him over to apologize to them.
However...
At this moment, Veronica suddenly stepped back and lazily waved her hand:
"Members of The Council, you may handle things as you see fit. It’s none of my concern!"
Her words were like a bolt of lightning, causing an uproar among The Council members.
But regarding Veronica’s decision, no one in The Council dared to question it.
At present, The Council members naturally wouldn’t be the first to be cleared out.
Thus, all eyes turned to the only ’soft target’ on the field——
The Draconia team!
