“On what grounds?”
“Really, Master Kulun, you let that trash die too easily.”
Bale clutched his bleeding ear, grimacing as he complained belatedly, as if he hadn’t been the one begging Luo Lin for mercy just moments ago.
“Yeah, if he hadn’t died so fast, I’d have kicked him a few times for Young Master Bale!”
Kulun looked at the fawning Fang Si and the arrogant Bale, feeling nothing but disgust.
These two useless bastards were even more like cultists than he was.
But then again, only trash like this was easy to control.
“Too bad. That Luo Lin was a tough one. But oh well, it’s your fault for standing in the Holy Faith’s way.”
“Survival of the fittest. That’s how the cruel Sera Continent has always been.”
But just as he lifted his leg to leave, years of life-and-death combat experience set off alarm bells in his mind.
He hadn’t even turned around before instantly deploying a dark magic shield.
Boom!
A colossal ice sword, like divine wrath descending, tore through the night sky shrouded in darkness.
Kulun braced his staff with all his might, but the terrifying cold pierced through the magic shield, freezing his black robe solid.
The two braggarts who had been boasting moments ago were already sent flying by the residual force of that single strike.
“A Transcendent?”
“No… could a Master-level expert have broken the seal and entered the Mystic Realm?”
“Who are you?”
Kulun’s sinister gaze locked onto the figure not far away.
A silhouette slowly emerged from a milky-white pillar of light.
Moonlight spilled through the rift in the sky.
The Silver Dragon Girl stood with her sword, her snow-white skin like ice and jade. Her waist-length silver hair fluttered gently in the wind.
The ice sword formed in her hand pointed straight at Kulun, a cascade of starlight frozen in a single blade.
Bale rubbed his eyes, staring in disbelief at Selina before him.
Even a lecherous playboy like him had never seen a girl like this.
Amidst the swirling white mist, the ice-blue eyes of the girl were as pure as an angel untouched by the mortal world.
And the cool indifference between her brows was enough to drive any man wild.
“Fang Si, grab her for me. I want to pamper her properly!”
“M… me?”
Fang Si stared at the girl in terror, his body frozen solid.
Are you kidding me?
Don’t let the cute appearance of this Silver Dragon girl fool you. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
Just that one strike earlier was enough to kill him eight hundred times over.
He followed Bale for wealth and status, not to die.
Selina also felt that disgusting gaze.
Her snow-white face was full of disdain as she silently clenched her fists.
“Hey, trash lizard, he’s provoking you!”
Lilith, emboldened by the small Silver Dragon’s presence, immediately grew cocky again.
She planted her hands on her hips, standing behind Selina and pointing incessantly.
“This one, this one, and that one! Especially the drooler over there. They’re all bad guys. Take them out!”
If Lady Lilith, with her brilliant mind, hadn’t transferred into Luo Lin’s Storage Ring in advance, she’d be getting taken away by that disgusting Bale right now.
Just thinking about it made the vampire loli shiver.
Selina, of course, had no intention of showing mercy to these heartless bastards.
Her slender fingers lightly traced through the air.
An ice-blue light radiated outward.
In an instant, a dense formation of ice swords appeared behind her.
A volley of a thousand arrows!
They shot straight toward Bale’s eyes.
“Devour!”
But the black-robed figure opposite was no pushover either.
Dense dark magic coalesced into a giant black hand, saving Bale from being turned into a sieve.
But the sharp ice swords quickly shredded the black giant hand, riddling it with holes.
Kulun’s face grew darker and darker.
This Silver Dragon before him was clearly less than a month old.
How could a young dragon, born less than a month ago, be this strong?
“Explode!”
He had no choice but to pour all his magic power into it, shattering the black hand prematurely. Only then did he barely manage to block Selina’s rain of swords.
Even so, Kulun was pushed back step by step.
“Holy crap! Trash lizard, how did you get so strong?”
Lilith, watching Kulun buried under layers of ice and snow, celebrated joyfully.
“Master Kulun! Master Kulun!”
Bale stared at the scene before him in disbelief.
How was this possible?
Kulun, a High-order Transcendent, had been defeated so effortlessly?
As Selina closed in, the fake smile on his face finally gave way to panic.
“Fang Si! Fang Si! Block her for me!”
But that sly bastard had already hightailed it out of there the moment things looked bad.
Only now did this arrogant scoundrel truly feel fear.
“That punch is for defiling Alice!”
Selina’s fist, carrying bone-chilling cold, smashed hard into Bale’s face.
Bam!
Bale’s once-passable face instantly gushed blood from all seven orifices, his cheekbone deeply sunken.
“Please… please spare me!”
“I’ll give you money! You want power? I can give you that too!”
“I’ll do anything you say. Please, just spare me!”
This man, who usually threw his weight around with his bloodline and status, always yapping about magical talent, now didn’t even have the courage to cast a single spell.
All he could do was kneel on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Selina gazed coldly at Bale, who was like a whipped dog, and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of emotion.
The one who had pushed the original owner into hell in her past life was finally going to pay.
“Pathetic, Bale.”
“You betrayed your country, colluded with cultists, and treated life like dirt. And you’re nothing but a coward.”
“All you ever relied on was the status you were born with.”
“Without that, you’d be on your knees begging for mercy from a ‘Non-magical Person’ you always looked down on.”
“Die, you disgusting piece of trash!”
The crystal-clear ice sword was about to sever that sinful head.
Just then–
A massive tree root erupted from the ground, piercing straight through Bale’s body and lifting him high into the air.
“Young Master Bale, thank you for buying me time!”
“Miss Selina, my apologies.”
“I’d love to kill this useless waste myself, but the Seyel family are friends of the Holy Faith!”
The Kulun who had seemed defeated by Selina just moments ago now had squirming tentacles wrapped around his wrinkled face.
The Demon Tree King’s massive branches had become his body.
No.
He had become part of that giant tree.
Another hideous human head hung among the branches.
Feeling the violent tremors in the ground, Selina quickly spread her dragon wings and soared into the sky, barely dodging the black branches surging from the earth.
“Unexpected, Miss Selina. I see you can fly.”
“You’ve dodged quite the disaster.”
“Damn it, why?”
“Why does Sela, that false god, grant you geniuses so many privileges?”
“A perfect face, a superior background, extraordinary talent.”
“But that so-called merciful god never once looked at people like me!”
A mournful wail, uglier than crying, reverberated from the giant hollow in the center of the ancient tree, spreading in all directions.
He hadn’t even launched an attack yet.
Just his disgusting head standing on a branch, staring at Selina hovering in mid-air with muddy eyes, was enough to shatter the entire floor of the Demon Forest as if greeting her.
Trees were uprooted by the dozens.
“So I joined the Holy Faith.”
“Now, I’m far stronger than any of you!”
With every word Kurun spoke, a terrifying sonic boom exploded in the air.
The entire space shook violently.
Even more terrifying, the giant tree, two stories tall, frantically absorbed the mana from the examinees through the connecting tentacles.
In the end, it actually stood up from the ground like a human.
Massive legs made of tree trunks slowly strode forward.
Its immense body blotted out the sky.
Before it, the small Silver Dragon was as insignificant as an ant.
The oppressive pressure pressed down on Selina like a mountain.
“Trash lizard, run! Run!”
Lilith’s ruby-like eyes were filled with terror, her wings beating faster and faster.
“After fusing with the Demon Tree King, this madman has absorbed almost half the mana of the examinees in this exam. He’s practically reached Master level!”
“That’s two whole realms above you!”
“No matter how talented you are, you can’t beat him!”
On the other side of the battlefield.
A melodic voice, like a divine song, echoed softly through the forest.
Liya saved one examinee after another at the brink of death.
Wherever her notes passed, the menacing branches of the Demon Tree shattered like fragile glass.
She spread her pure white wings, shielding everyone behind her.
“The Saintess is incredible!”
“The Saintess is truly the Goddess’s messenger!”
“I will worship the Saintess for life!”
More and more examinees Liya had saved followed her with gratitude.
The group grew larger and larger.
Together, they fought their way toward the teleportation array.
Clap, clap, clap.
But just as they finally reached the now-dim teleportation array…
From the darkness, a strange round of applause rang out slowly.
The shadows on the ground began to writhe like thick sludge.
Eventually, they took the form of a voluptuous, venomous beauty.
Her cold eyes were as dangerous as a snake’s.
“Since the Holy Saintess is so merciful, how about helping me out too?”
Meanwhile.
On the western side of the battlefield.
Lucia’s golden eyes shone like a sun in the night.
The girl wearing the Crown of Thorns swept away calamity with an emperor’s might.
Wherever her long sword passed, cultists scattered like rats in the street.
The radiance, capable of judging all evil, left no wickedness hidden.
Boom!
However.
The Wind Lord Sword, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, was stopped mid-swing.
“Hey. The remnants of the Kairuier family, let’s play with you.”
A burly man raised his shield high, staring arrogantly at the breathtakingly beautiful girl.
His exaggerated muscles bulged with every breath.
Beside him, a delicate woman holding a spellbook hovered in mid-air, raising a mysterious, complex magic circle.
The Miss Fairy with platinum blonde hair was forced to halt her advance toward the center of the Mystic Realm and confront these two assailants.
“Miss Selina, you have to hold on!”
