Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 466 Terrifying Mutation

"really."

Aria took a deep breath and pointed to the pastries on the table, saying:

"My favorite drink is Dinawell black tea, with one and a half spoonfuls of sugar and three spoonfuls of Finas milk."

My favorite dessert is the honey cake made by the rabbi in the university.

She clenched her fist:

"Most importantly, Aunt Sharon always calls me Little Nana whenever she comes, and she never forgets my preferences!"

Aria mustered her courage and shouted at Gerald:
"So, Grandpa Gerrard, are you...outside?"

Her body trembled uncontrollably, her gaze shifting from anger to surprise and then to fear, and she swallowed hard.

As rotten patches formed on Gerrard's face, his cheeks suddenly swelled up, and blood burst forth.

Two chaotic eyes squeezed out from it, stained with blood and darting around.

Black, greasy, root-like things sprouted from the surface of the body.

Aria stared blankly at the monstrous, chaotic, and twisted form.

Driven by fear, she still subconsciously finished speaking:

"I have another lover."

Even Gerald, who was already corrupted, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard what she said.

Even the newly born eyes stopped moving and all looked at Alya.

After a long while, Gerrard finally let out a hoarse laugh:
“Interesting. Aria, you’re still as interesting as ever. I really thought that these past few years of experience had taught you a lot.”

He could even keenly perceive my intentions, like a true adventurer.

Gerrard's feet had roots that, as if their skin had been peeled off, were now bloody and flailing wildly, plunging into the ground.

The once tidy building has become unusually dark, with mold and dried bloodstains spreading on the walls of the rooms.

Large splattered bloodstains covered the ground, and Aliya even saw her beloved Aunt Sharon lying not far from her with her mouth agape.

Her pale eyes stared blankly at the sky, and there was a huge wound on her chest, where her internal organs had disappeared.

"As it turns out, I was overthinking it."

Gerald's voice carried an unusually evil aura, and he himself had transformed into an extremely twisted and disgusting monster.

The tentacles that spread across the body merged with the walls, forming a scene resembling a network of blood vessels.

"That's right. From the moment you were born, you were blessed by the goddess of heaven and surrounded by good luck. Even if you encounter danger, you will turn misfortune into good fortune."

Where can one find good fortune?

"Boom!"

A hazy light suddenly emanated from Aria's body, forming a bright protective barrier, and the warm aura repelled the evil.

With a sob in her voice, she cried out, "Grandpa Gerald, how could you have become like this? Who did this to you?"

"You ruined me?"

Gerald laughed heartily, and behind him, tentacles silently disappeared into the ground:

"No, no, no, this is not harming me, on the contrary, it is helping me. I am sincerely grateful to the person who delivered that book to me."

Gerrard opened his arms and uttered an aria-like lament:

"How wonderful is that unheard-of knowledge, that never-before-seen world."

In the end, everything will decay and be destroyed! Come, Aria, become one with me, with your power, with the magic contained within you.

Then we can transcend this world and go to a wider world!

Aren't you tempted?

Alya stared at him blankly, tears silently streaming down her face. She bit her lower lip hard, her teeth sinking deep into it.

As the metallic taste spread in her mouth, she finally burst into tears, her eyes filled with hatred and unprecedented anger.
"No! Not at all! I just want my grandfather Gerald back, not you damn monster!"

A book shimmering with light floated in front of her, its pages turning automatically with a whooshing sound, and powerful magic surged from it, gradually forming a violent force.

"I will annihilate you completely here!"

A strange buzzing sound vibrated in the room. Aria watched in horror as the magic she had gathered surged wildly toward the wall as if drawn by something.

"Aria, no one knows better than me what's inscribed on your Sage's Book, and no one knows better than me how many defensive measures you have on your body."

Gerald's body slowly floated into the air, supported by several thick roots on the ground, gradually approaching Aria, who was bound by the roots and suspended in mid-air.

"The Star of the Empire - once triggered, all nearby Imperial soldiers, troops, and even Saint-level experts must unconditionally and at all costs rush to its rescue."

"Goddess's Sigh - can generate a super defensive magic strong enough to withstand the bombardment of two Ral by a Saint-level powerhouse."

"Radiant Light - Resists most mental temptations and charm spells"

Gerald spoke slowly and deliberately, as if reciting a familiar story, while the tentacles behind him continuously formed various intricate magic arrays.

The power within Aria is extremely strong, and the 'Trickle' is the culmination of the efforts of the Holy Mage Corps and the elite of the Academy.

Even though he was one of the main designers, it was still very difficult to cleverly unravel the spell.

Therefore, Gerrard needs time and needs to constantly delay in various ways.

"By the way, do you know the guard who stopped you earlier? He was also drawn to knowledge and was willing to follow me to a wider world."

Gerald admired Aria's desperate face; he liked that expression. 'Trickle' was closely related to the mind of the spell sealer.

When Aria is angry, the 'Trickle' will supply more magic power, resulting in a de facto increase in combat strength.

Therefore, despair is the best emotion to break her resistance, bar none.

"The entire guard has been transformed into saints. We must move forward, and even take the whole world with us."

Go and meet the great and sacred.

Gerald paused here, all his eyes turning in one direction as if to admire Alia's expression.

"actually."

All the magic arrays constructed by his tentacles slowly converged, forming a super complex and enormous magic array:

"I really want to see the woman who is called the goddess's favorite, whose lucky star shines on her forever, and whose good fortune is always by her side."

The most magnificent jewel of the empire, always finding someone to help her in times of danger: Aria Isadora Tresya Byron

Gerrard stretched out his festering hands:
"This time, is there anyone who can save you?"

Before the words were finished, a loud meow suddenly rang out in the room.

"Meow!"
