466, hatred

Elsa followed Charlie for a while, then quickened her pace and went to the front, starting to look for something. She quickly moved and jumped in the forest based on her memory, and soon, she saw a black-robed figure in the dense jungle.

Star God - Adele followed Elsa closely all the way. Elsa did not speak actively along the way. Adele vaguely noticed that Elsa seemed to be in a bad mood, so she also wisely kept her mouth shut all the way.

She also saw the black-robed figure.

The figure looked like a woman, with her face hidden under a hood, but Adele saw a strand of silver hair peeking out from under her hood - the woman was sitting under a tree with her head down, seemingly resting, or thinking about something, and from time to time she would take out a black branch to play with.

The moment she saw the woman, Elsa's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"As expected... This guy has been here from the beginning..."

Elsa's eyes swept around. The forest, the soil, the air, the sunshine, the grass and trees here, all of these, Elsa would never forget in her life. And the pale face of the black-robed woman hidden under the hood was engraved clearly in Elsa's memory. She could not mistake a single hair.

Because that was the man who killed Charlie.

The grass under my feet is where Charlie died.

Elsa clenched her fists slightly. At this moment, Adele, who was following Elsa, suddenly felt a substantial pressure coming at her. She shuddered, looked up at Elsa, and shrank her neck in fear.

It was the first time she saw Elsa truly express the emotion of "hatred". Even though Elsa's pretty face was still very beautiful even when she was angry, Adele had no intention of appreciating it.

She just wanted to reduce her presence as much as possible to avoid Elsa's anger on her - in her opinion, most of those strong people were moody guys, and who knew if she would suddenly suffer a disaster the next moment.

And this place is very strange, even weird. Adele was wondering why that white-haired girl...Charlie, appeared here.

However, Adele didn't really care. She just wanted to leave here quickly - she really, really didn't want to be alone with Elsa for a moment. However, at this moment, Adele suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis, and she subconsciously looked up at Elsa.

"Adele."

Elsa suddenly called out, scaring Adele so much that her hair almost stood up - it had been too long, too long since anyone had called her name, but the Star God didn't want that person to be Elsa at all.

"I, I'm here!"

"I want to kill her, do you have any ideas?"

Elsa's voice was calm, but she spoke scary words with a scary look - Elsa stared at the black-robed woman in front of her who was completely unaware of Elsa and Adele's arrival.

"Ah? You wanna kill her?"

"Yes, now."

Adele took one look at the woman in black and felt bitter in her heart - so, she really wanted to reduce her presence. But Elsa started speaking with such unreasonable words, and Adele was confused.

Even Elsa couldn't touch the people of this world, so what could a mere Star God like her do? Wasn't this just deliberately making things difficult for her?

"I, I'll think of a way..."

"Think quickly, I don't have much time for you."

Because Elsa knew that Charlie and those adventurers would find this place soon, and what would happen afterwards... would be a one-sided killing. Everyone would die, including Charlie.

"Yes, it is!"

Adele responded quickly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

This space was very special, extremely special, and different from any other space she had ever seen. She and Elsa were completely unable to touch anything here.

Because time here is also stagnant. Adele can see the time here. There is no past and no future here. It repeats itself forever. In other words, everything here is unlikely to be changed. Even everything that happens here seems to be predetermined.

So, theoretically, she and Aisha couldn't influence anything here.

How could she figure out a solution to this?

Adele had no choice.

But she didn't dare to say "no" to Elsa's request, so she had to bite the bullet and move closer to the woman in black to grope around. Seeing Elsa standing there with a cold face, Adele became very nervous and sweated profusely.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, Elsa raised her head as if realizing something, looked at the forest behind her, and narrowed her eyes.

Soon, a spider familiar walked quickly past them. The woman in black seemed to have noticed the familiar, but she just snapped her fingers lightly. She was sitting there without moving, but the familiar walked straight past her as if it didn't notice her.

"Oh, another prey has been delivered to my door - just in time, I'm a little hungry too."

The woman opened her red lips, smiled frivolously, and slowly looked at Elsa - of course she couldn't see Elsa. Her gaze passed through Elsa and went into the depths of the forest, which was the direction where Charlie and the others were.

Elsa pursed her lips and took a deep breath.

"Ok?"

"Not yet... S-sorry! Lady Aisha... The space here is strange... I can't intervene with my magic at all..."

Adele was so anxious that she burst into tears - she was really scared of Elsa! She was so scared!

At this time, a voice came from behind.

Shirley and the adventurers appeared—

……

"...You're welcome, Miss Bran. You and your father are both very kind people. I feel extremely honored to be able to team up with you."

Sinead walked in front, while the wizard controlled her familiar, but she was completely unaware that her familiar was not aware of the real danger at all.

"Yes, Sinead is right. Anyway, just relax. This is just an ordinary commission."

Charlie is still very young and has not been working as an adventurer for long. Although her strength is indeed bronze, her experience in forest operations is actually very insufficient. Therefore, for Charlie, being able to team up with experienced people is also one of the effective ways for her to learn adventure knowledge.

Sinead's team of adventurers is a very professional and experienced team among the bronze medalists.

"Dangerous monsters live deep in the western part of the forest and won't appear in this central area. As long as we return before sunset, our work for the day will be successfully completed."

The hunter echoed.

The sun would set in a few hours, and they were not in the dangerous depths of the forest, so they seemed relatively relaxed and casual.

467: Elsa's Fist

Charlie was also infected by the relaxed atmosphere and started laughing.

Elsa looked at Charlie quietly, her eyes slightly distracted - although Charlie's physical development had completely stagnated after becoming a vampire, and her face had hardly changed, with only her hair and eye color showing obvious changes, but the Charlie she saw at this moment was completely different from the cheerful and generous Charlie now.

It's obviously the same face, but the eyes can't lie.

At this moment, Sinead, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. She stared in the direction of Elsa, squinted her eyes, and then her face changed slightly. She said briefly and softly:

"Wait, there's something... Everyone! Quiet, take cover!"

Sinead was their captain. With her order, the few people who were still chatting and laughing a second ago immediately squatted on the spot and tightened their weapons in their hands.

"Sinead, what's wrong?"

"There's something ahead... The familiar doesn't seem to have sent out a warning in advance. I wonder if it was an oversight. Anyway, let's observe it first."

Sinead's eyes were serious. She squinted her eyes, slightly bent her body and stared at the front. The wizards in the team quickly mobilized their familiars to observe. The hunters had already sneaked into the treetops above their heads and were looking out and keeping alert under the cover of leaves.

When encountering an emergency, while confirming the situation in front, also expand the investigation to the rear to prevent being surrounded by some cunning monsters and retreating.

They moved quickly, with clear division of labor, and everything seemed to have been practiced countless times.

This is a manifestation of their qualities as excellent adventurers.

Charlie secretly admired him, and at the same time she was a little yearning for him - in the future, she would probably join a group of adventurers, and the comrades she entrusted behind her would surely be reliable and powerful people. She really wanted to walk out of the town and see the outside world described in the book. That kind of life must be wonderful, right?

It's really exciting.

However, we have to solve the current problem first. I wonder what kind of monster it will be?

Charlie followed suit and squatted behind the bushes. She glanced at the people who were on high alert, then turned her head and gently pushed aside the leaves, looking in the direction Sinead was looking.

Her sight passed over the dense jungle, but to Charlie's surprise, she did not see any monsters. Instead, she saw a figure in the shade of the trees in front of her. It was a person wearing a black robe. Because she was wearing a hood, her specific appearance could not be seen clearly. She could only vaguely guess from her fair profile and thin figure that it should be a woman.

What's strange is that the wizard hasn't received any information from the familiar yet. The familiar has been exploring the way ahead, so he should have noticed this woman a long time ago.

Moreover, that woman gave Charlie a very subtle feeling, as if she made her feel a little uncomfortable and cold.

If you look more closely, you will find that the mottled shadows of the trees around the woman seem to cleverly avoid where she is, making the area around the shadows also gloomy - but Charlie and Sinead seem to have actively ignored the shadows that gathered together strangely.

At this time, the shadow man was less than fifty steps away from them, which was not very far for adventurers.

Aisha pursed her lips and watched all this quietly.

Everything in front of her was like a recurrence of the accident a year ago. Last time, she was a step too late. This time, she wanted to do something. No matter whether this was a dream or something strange, Elsa wanted to give it a try. At least in her heart, she couldn't ignore what was happening in front of her - but at this moment, Elsa didn't know what to do, because she couldn't touch anything here.

"Huh? That's... a person? A woman..."

At first, Xia Li seemed frightened by the sudden appearance of the black shadow, but when she saw that the other party was just a woman, she relaxed a little and put the sword back to her waist.

"Should we... go over and take a look? She's here alone, maybe she needs help—"

Before Charlie could finish her words, she saw Sinead and others shaking their heads at her.

"Miss Bran, you probably rarely interact with adventurers like us. No, perhaps you just rarely leave town. For adventurers like us, we need to be cautious when encountering anyone in the wilderness, as they may be more dangerous than those beasts. So, let's take a detour."

Xia Li was stunned at first, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

Although Charlie really wanted to ask the woman - she was wandering alone in the forest. What if she really needed help? Wouldn't their departure be equivalent to cutting off her hope?

But Charlie was not a fool. She could understand Sinead and the others' concerns. She knew that she had no right to let others take risks for her selfish kindness.

They looked at each other and prepared to change direction.

And just then, a voice stopped them.

"You all saw me here, why didn't you come over and say hello?"

The woman in black slowly stood up, the corners of her pale mouth raised in a smile.

"Now that you're here, don't leave."

At the same time, a cold chill appeared in Aisha's eyes.

"Step aside."

Elsa grabbed Adele's shoulders and threw her aside. Adele almost fell. Then, she saw the murderous intent boiling in Elsa's eyes and shuddered with fear.

"Stay away."

Before Elsa finished her words, the next second, Adele saw Elsa throw a punch at the woman in black. There was a loud bang, but there was no air wave or dazzling magic light, but layers of ripples suddenly spread in the air.

Seeing this scene, Adele's mouth opened wide -

"That was... space debris!???"

Adele stared at the ripples in front of Elsa's fist until the ripples spread outward and finally swept across the entire space. She was stunned and shocked.

She was a star god proficient in space magic, and no one understood better than her how terrifying the punch that almost shook the entire space bubble was.

Perhaps to others it was just a slight ripple in the air, but in the eyes of the Star God, this space was like a crumpled paper. If Elsa punched a few more times, the paper would be torn - Elsa almost punched a hole in the space with one punch. These ripples were proof that the space was repairing itself.

"How terrifying... Is this Elsa's power... Is this really more powerful than those in their prime?"

Adele cautiously crawled a little further away.

She doesn't want to be affected.

468. Cross [Third Update]

At this moment, Elsa stared at the woman in black who was not hurt at all, frowned, and her face became visibly gloomy - she used 10% of her strength, but it seemed that she could not touch this woman at all.

But Elsa did not give up. She did not intend to stop what she was doing - because Elsa knew that the vampire had already discovered Charlie and the others and would take action soon.

Watching Charlie die before his eyes once again? Watching several lives disappear?

Elsa doesn't like the feeling of repeating the same mistakes.

She didn't know where this place was, nor did she care. Whether it was a dream or something else, once Elsa saw it, she couldn't remain indifferent.
