Turned into a Treant? Power increased out of thin air?
Isn’t No. 03 a Water System Wizard? How did she suddenly get involved with Treants?
Though Angel didn’t know exactly what happened to No. 03, this kind of power increase from nowhere was definitely abnormal.
"After she turned into a Treant, does she have any abilities? Can she already contend with Lord Night?" Nis asked.
Ferro: "Currently, I can’t see any abilities, but it seems like some Sea Beasts have gathered nearby. I’m not sure if they are influenced by No. 03 or attracted by the aftershocks of the battle. As for her current strength, she probably still can’t contend with Lord Night, but Lord Night’s state seems a bit strange."
At this point, Ferro hesitated: "I always feel like Lord Night seems to have been bewitched."
Angel and Nis exchanged glances, hastily asking about the situation.
Since Ferro wasn’t in the battle circle, he didn’t know exactly what happened either, but he noticed that after No. 03 turned into a Treant, a fruit grew on top of her head.
It was a fruit shimmering with a red glow.
Ferro couldn’t sense the aura of that fruit, but his Spiritual Sense told him it was extraordinary.
Even gazing at that fruit from afar, Ferro’s mind was continually teased and attracted by it. It felt as if the fruit was a dazzling treasure, capable of captivating everyone.
"It’s not just me. I noticed that Lord Night also kept his gaze fixed on that fruit. His expression was even more obsessed, as if... as if he was mesmerized by that fruit," Ferro said while gulping with apprehension. Though the fruit emitted an astonishing attraction, Ferro was far away, so the influence on him was minimal; he felt more fear than desire.
While speaking, a wave of Law swept over again.
This time, its power was much greater than before, as its source was from the direction of the laboratory.
This also confirmed a fact that the Law waves were created by No. 01 and the others, as they attempted to weaken the young Seat, but its effectiveness seemed minimal.
The wave of Law caused a brief silence in the Mind Ribbon.
Nis looked at Angel, speaking directly instead of through the Mind Ribbon, "What do you think now?"
Angel contemplated, "What Ferro said is just his own view. Lord Kanter may not have been enchanted."
No matter what, Kanter was a True Knowledge Wizard, and his energy level was a full rank higher than No. 03. Even if No. 03 temporarily boosted her abilities, Angel found it hard to believe she could enchant Kanter.
Though Kanter’s strength might compare to Sanders, his age was greater than two Sanders combined. With his strength, experience, and extensive combat experience, Angel didn’t believe he would easily experience a downfall.
"Regardless of why Lord Kanter is at a standoff with No. 03, it doesn’t seem like a good choice right now. I suggest we go over and see the situation, at least to inform Lord Kanter about the ’approaching pursuit team from Phantom Spirit City.’
Nis thought for a moment, agreeing with Angel’s suggestion: "Let’s go over now."
As they quickly approached Ferro’s position, a piercing scream emanated from the laboratory’s direction.
Both Angel and Nis halted briefly before continuing forward.
Nis: "It sounds like the lament of Seat."
Angel nodded. Every Law wave was accompanied by Seat’s lament, but this time, Seat’s wailing was even more miserable, filled with despair that could be sensed even across dozens of sea miles.
It likely couldn’t hold out much longer.
Nis: "Once the young Seat dies, No. 01 will be completely unable to turn back."
Angel remained silent for a moment, softly saying, "He hasn’t been able to turn back since he chose to devour the third-class citizens of Phantom Spirit City."
Nis: "Do you think his choice was wrong back then?"
Angel shook his head: "His choice wasn’t wrong. If I were in his situation, I might have made the same choice. But choices are something we encounter daily in life, easy to overlook. No one knows which choice in your life might be fate’s ambush, pushing you towards a dead end."
Nis nodded: "Just like this time, if I chose not to come, who knows, my fate might have veered into another direction."
Pausing, Nis looked at Angel: "Speaking of choice, I remember you once encountered the Thief of Time. After that, have you encountered it again?"
Angel shook his head.
Nis: "I feel like your fate hasn’t reached a dead end yet. It’s likely still watching you. The Thief of Time loves to steal the choices of fate. In the future, when making choices, be cautious... no matter what the choice."
Angel responded with a "hmm," and Nis said no more. These matters were far away from them, and he believed Angel was aware of them.
After approximately two more minutes of flight, during which Seat’s wail never ceased but became increasingly despairing,
As Seat’s cries dwindled to mere whimpering, Angel said, "We need to hurry, preferably before Seat dies, to get out of here."
Nis said nothing, solemnly nodding his head.
At this time, the distance to Ferro’s position was only ten sea miles in a straight line. From there, they could already feel the tumultuous ocean energy in the distance.
Beneath the sea, numerous dark shadows converged toward the distance.
"These are the Sea Beasts hiding in the Mist Belt. Sea Beasts living in the Devil’s Sea forbidden zone should know not to spy when the energy is turbulent, even without the talent to seek fortune and avoid disaster," Nis said sternly. "Yet all these Sea Beasts are converging on Ferro’s side. This clearly isn’t right. Perhaps Ferro’s guess is correct; this is No. 03’s ability after transforming into a Treant."
Angel also noticed the congregation of Sea Beasts, their eyes slightly red, their excitement almost visibly palpable.
This was definitely not a normal phenomenon.
"Let’s go and have a look."
Angel and Nis accelerated instantly, leaving a light arc across the sky.
But halfway across the sky, the light arc was suddenly disrupted.
The disruption wasn’t due to an attack but because the sky suddenly darkened, and a wail of despair echoed in everyone’s ears.
The moment this wail appeared, it completely overshadowed the wave of Law. The sky dimmed, the ocean fell silent, as if the heavens and the sea mourned along with the wailing.
From the direction of the laboratory, a light was falling.
