Author: Floating Tower (诸生浮屠)
There are many alleys in the city.
Two people are walking along a crossroad. Although Soren feels the fragrance is somewhat familiar, he has no intention to investigate further, as he lacks the leisure to concern himself with other matters. However, to his surprise, just as he steps out of the alley, he sees another tall figure beside the street. The figure makes him shudder and he quickly retracts back into the alley. Another woman in a black dress on the opposite side does the same, seemingly retreating like a cat, hiding completely in the shadows.
“d*mn it!”
Soren retreats continuously, unable to help but curse softly, murmuring, “They can still catch up to me like this?”
Silver Moonwalker.
Soren is certain that the woman outside has disguised herself as Silver Moonwalker. His ability to see through disguises is very strong, and he recognizes her with just one glance, noting that beside her stands a Druid whose strength is difficult to estimate. It is likely a high-ranking Druid, even possibly a Legendary Druid.
“Are those leaves really so precious?”
Soren murmurs to himself, turning to leave from the other side, thinking, “How could they catch up to me like this? Did they use a Legendary Prophecy Spell? I’ve consumed everything! What else can they do? Kidnap me and dissect me?”
This place is not suitable for staying long.
Regardless of how they caught up to him, Soren feels he shouldn’t linger here.
He quietly walks towards the other side, and when he turns his head, he immediately sees the woman in the black long dress stealthily approaching him.
The two exchange a glance, momentarily stunned by the expressions on their faces.
Soren feels a certain familiarity with the woman before him. Although she wears a hood and veil that obscures her features, this feeling of familiarity is quite strong. He is certain he has seen this woman before, and not just once. The woman in black seems to share a similar expression, scrutinizing Soren in his black robe. Her gaze appears to be both puzzled and familiar. Both of them are dressed in black, retreating in the same direction, making the scene somewhat peculiar.
“It turns out to be you!…”
The woman in black suddenly reveals an eerie smile, her eyes becoming enchanting. She walks gracefully like a cat, gently removing the veil from her face to reveal a charming and seductive visage. Her expression seems to carry a hint of temptation as she says in a voice full of allure, “Come here. Come here. Come to sister.”
Soren’s expression momentarily turns blank, and then he instinctively walks toward her.
The enchanting woman’s expression clearly shows a hint of pride as she extends her fair finger, seemingly to touch Soren’s forehead, while a strange smile plays at the corner of her mouth. Slowly she says, “It’s lucky to meet you! It seems your skills are not weak, you should be able to help me draw their attention!”
—”Raging Charm!”
As Soren gets closer, when he stands before the enchanting woman, suddenly a glimmer of cold light flashes in his eyes, and then a blade of light directly strikes toward her head. The woman’s face shows a trace of shock as an invisible protective energy field manifests, directly sending Soren flying. However, at the same time, this strike also destroys her protective field, and while being blocked by another force, the curved blade slashes open the front of her long dress, revealing a fair, ample chest, along with streaks of frost appearing.
How is that possible!?
Hadn’t it only been a short time since they last met, and the man before her could actually break through her energy protection field?
In the past, a 1st-level ‘Charm Human’ had almost controlled Soren, but now he not only resisted the enchanting woman’s high-level ‘Raging Charm’ but also sliced through her Mage Armor. If it weren’t for another energy protection triggering, that strike might have disemboweled her. Even so, her clothing had been torn open by ten centimeters, and the area cut by the blade glimmered with frost, causing her to shiver slightly.
Legendary Equipment!?
Only Legendary-level weapons can possess such powerful cold energy.
How did he become this strong all of a sudden?
Bang!
After being sent flying, Soren did not continue his attack but stepped on a wooden barrel to lessen the impact, and then his figure disappeared from her sight. Wizards often have a habit of storing memory spells, especially for triggered protective spells. He had been knocked back the last time he fought with this woman, and it was indeed the same this time. The woman’s sneaky demeanor seems to indicate she is also being hunted by others outside. Perhaps it was not him who attracted the Silver Moonwalker, but this enchanting woman before him. Soren recalls that Gloria once mentioned her mother had caused a lot of trouble in the past, making the Druids of the entire world view her as a thorn in their side.
—”Hide Sight!”
Soren’s figure disappears into the shadows and quickly flees from the area.
The woman in black clearly is wary after the previous attack, and as Soren vanishes, she activates some item, immediately casting the True Eye spell on herself.
She fears Soren will continue his attack; since he can break through her protective energy, he poses a threat to her life!
Unfortunately, she still does not anticipate.
After activating the ability to see through invisibility, the enchanting woman does not see Soren’s whereabouts at all. Instead, the commotion here attracts the attention of others, and the Silver Moonwalker and a middle-aged Druid swiftly charge in. Upon seeing the two enemies rush in, the enchanting woman nearly grinds her silver teeth in frustration. She glares resentfully in the direction where Soren vanished, then raises her hand to crush something, and her figure suddenly disappears from the spot, only to reappear three kilometers away.
“d*mn it!”
The enchanting woman is so enraged that she stomps her feet, cursing, “That damned guy! He made me use my last teleportation marker like this!”
In the distance, a silver figure rapidly approaches.
The enchanting woman looks at the Silver Moonwalker who has tracked her position again, and the eagle flying in the sky, her expression darkening. Instantly, she activates several spells and flees into the distance.
“These guys are simply relentless!”
The enchanting woman grits her teeth as she escapes, secretly thinking, “If it weren’t for the fact that I haven’t retrieved my things, I would definitely imprison your souls all together!… I’ve used up almost all my equipment!… If this goes on, they’ll surely catch up to me!… When I ascend to legend, I will definitely take revenge on you all!… For now, I can only seek refuge with my dear daughter!”
“Hopefully she remembers I’m her biological mother and can help me out!”
………………
“Hu!”
Soren turns to glance behind him and can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Indeed.
The Silver Moonwalker did not track him down. He had been wondering how it was possible to be pursued like this; he hadn’t encountered anyone in the Frozen Kingdom for so long, yet encountered the Silver Moonwalker immediately upon coming to the Northern Region. It turns out they were chasing Gloria’s mother. But hadn’t she been exiled to White Horse City? How did she sneak over here? It seems there are Druids chasing her?
Soren dares not linger here.
If the Silver Moonwalker discovers him, she might turn around and hunt him down. After all, that group of women is notoriously vengeful.
Soren directly hides in the shadows and moves forward, bypassing the River Valley City along the woodland path, heading towards Ice River City. He has already learned the location of Gloria’s Tower. As a core member of the Northern Witch, her status in the Northern Region is quite noble, equivalent to that of a city lord. He can likely find her and Vivian there without issue.
As for Gloria’s clearly willful mother, Soren does not care about her life or d*ath.
This woman has a wicked mind!
Initially planning to use Raging Charm to control him to attract the attention of enemies; had it not been for Soren’s extremely high willpower, directly negating the charm spell and using his acting skills to confuse her, escaping would have truly been much more difficult.
………………
Northern Tower.
Gloria’s tall figure stands before the balcony, reaching out to hold little Vivian, a gentle smile on her face.
She opens her mouth to say something but suddenly her expression changes dramatically, raising her hand to reveal a gleaming light, instantly forming a mirror-like surface, within which a hazy figure can be faintly seen.
Having cast the True Eye spell, she still can’t see through the other’s invisibility?
Gloria’s expression instantly turns serious as she raises her hand to protect Vivian beside her, solemnly saying, “Legendary Assassin?… Vivian, go to the laboratory now!… Do not come out for any reason!… A Legendary Assassin has invaded the Wizard Tower!”
Rumbling.
The walls of the Wizard Tower tremble slightly. With a wave of Gloria’s hand, dark doors emerge from the walls, and one by one heavy iron golems step out from within. At the same time, a spell light suddenly appears from the top of the Wizard Tower, sealing off all passages inside, even the projection of the Shadow Plane is enveloped in the spell energy.
“How dare you invade my Wizard Tower!”
A hint of murderous intent appears on Gloria’s stunning face as she strikes her staff on the ground, and an invisible wave of energy gradually spreads.
She stares at the mirror-like surface, stating firmly, “Iron Golems, heed my command!… Activate energy laser beams!… Open space anchor locks!… Seal all dimensional passages!… Close all portals!… Awaken the Soul Puppets!… Call forth the Soul Shadows!… Lock on to the target in the Spirit World!… Raise the Undead Field!… Scan for life energy!…”
“Activate energy core devices!… Wizard Tower at Level 1 alert!…”
