Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 364 - 365: Slaughter Law

However.

Shade saw Aster Grant, the culprit responsible for the disappearance of his two granddaughters, and had no good expression.

"Hmph!"

After a cold snort, he turned his head away.

Upon seeing this, Aster Grant’s face gradually darkened.

He was already worried about the unknown situation with Veridia and Scarlett.

And now this Clan Leader of the Ghost Race was pulling such a stunt.

The aura around Aster Grant instantly changed.

And the hidden Veridia, watching the scene from the shadows, also realized the gravity of the situation.

Shade, an experienced Totem Level fighter, was no match for Aster Grant, let alone him as a newly promoted Totem Level.

If Aster Grant were thoroughly provoked.

Despite being related to Shade and Scarlett,

he would likely face Aster Grant’s wrath squarely.

"Aster Grant, don’t mind our Clan Leader."

"He’s just upset because Veridia and Scarlett didn’t choose to stay with the Ghost Race."

Veridia suddenly appeared between Aster Grant and Shade, offering counsel.

Aster Grant caught the key point in Veridia’s words.

Veridia and Scarlett didn’t choose to stay with the Ghost Race?

What does that mean?

Seeing the confusion on Aster Grant’s face, Veridia revealed everything regarding Veridia and Scarlett.

Upon hearing all this, Aster Grant slightly furrowed his brow.

Veridia actually entered The Forbidden Land of the Ghost Race!

He had entered The Forbidden Land of the Ghost Race before; he knew what kind of place it was.

I could say, aside from a few exiled Ghost Race Elders...

All were Demon Clan!

And Veridia’s entrance here undoubtedly placed her in a perilous situation.

But when Aster Grant considered Veridia’s character, he found her decision very reasonable.

Earlier, when he faced the Swarm King...

Veridia surely realized what kind of enemy he was confronting.

Thus, someone as intensely self-reliant as Veridia would definitely be unable to forgive her incapacity to contribute effectively.

The Ghost Race grows fastest in combat.

Therefore, it’s not unexpected that Veridia made such a choice.

Moreover, Veridia inherently possesses incredibly rich combat experience.

Plus, Aster Grant already broke Veridia’s Talent to Myth Nine Stars.

Because of this, he’s not overly worried about Veridia.

What he’s really concerned about...

Is actually Scarlett!

He understands Scarlett’s character well.

She was raised under Veridia’s protection.

Even after forming a contract with him, she seldom participated in combat.

Most of the time, she was primarily executing exploration and escorting duties.

If Scarlett encounters danger...

She might not have enough capability to confront it.

He attempted to sense Scarlett’s whereabouts through the Beast Taming Contract.

However, there was no response at all.

This also means...

Scarlett is no longer in this world.

A faint worry flashed in Aster Grant’s eyes.

Troublesome!

He knows where Veridia went, but Scarlett is completely missing.

"Did Scarlett leave any message before departing?"

Aster Grant turned to Veridia and asked.

Veridia thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Nothing at all!

But Scarlett seemed to mention that The Swarm had mastered Void Ability.

She asked if there was any connection between the Ghost Race and The Swarm.

Upon hearing this, Aster Grant’s pupils contracted.

A hypothesis flashed through his mind.

He might know where Scarlett went!

Void Insectoid!

Scarlett most likely went to the territory of the Void Insectoid.

Aster Grant’s hand suddenly clenched tightly.

With Scarlett’s strength, if discovered by any Half-Step Totem Level Swarm member,

there would absolutely be no hope of survival.

Thinking of this, a sense of urgency surged within Aster Grant’s heart.

He must enhance his strength quickly.

When Lazuli returned from the Angel World to Alternate Space last time, he discovered...

As long as his and his beasts’ strength reaches Totem Level.

Coupled with Injury Link and Soul-devouring abilities, he could empower his beasts to traverse worlds.

Initially, upon reaching Totem Level, he planned to enter the Angel World to bring Lazuli’s father back.

But now it seems...

He must venture to The Swarm’s territory!

...

Meanwhile.

Inside The Forbidden Land of the Ghost Race.

Veridia was entirely surrounded by the corpses of the Demon Clan.

Jet-black Demon Blood splattered on her body, complementing the Demon Pattern on her skin, terrifyingly.

Not far from her.

Several Ghost Race Elders stared at Veridia with extreme terror.

"You... you’re a demon!"

"How could your Monarch Tier One power reach such an extent!"

The elders looked at Veridia, their eyes full of fear.

It was their first encounter with such a terrifying Ghost Race!

Merely at Monarch Tier One, she could battle Totem Level Demon Clan members.

Even...

Slay Totem Level Demon Clan members.

However.

Veridia’s eyes were filled with coldness.

Her gaze swept coldly over the Ghost Race Elders.

The next moment, she slowly spoke, her voice icy:

"I truly didn’t expect..."

"After entering The Forbidden Land, you would choose to ally with the Demon Clan!"

"Indeed, we should have killed you outright back then!"

At these words, the former Great Elder of the Ghost Race froze, then roared with furious indignation:

"Back then, I was just a step away from mastering the Divine Pattern, truly controlling the Ghost Race!"

"But you and that human insisted on interfering!"

"Yet..."

"Luckily you didn’t kill me back then!"

"I’ve already revealed a way to leave The Forbidden Land to the Demon Clan!"

"In a short time, the Demon Clan will break through the Ghost Race’s seal!"

"When the time comes, I’ll have the entire Ghost Race accompany me in death!"

At this, the former Great Elder of the Ghost Race’s tone brimmed with madness.

However.

Veridia’s eyes remained undisturbed.

Her gaze zeroed in on the Great Elder of the Ghost Race.

"You wish to see the Ghost Race perish?"

Ghost Qi accrued once more on Veridia’s skin.

The previously faint Ghost Pattern became clear again at this moment.

The next moment.

Veridia’s voice resonated throughout the battlefield.

"As long as I am here, no matter how many Demon Clan members..."

"Anyone attempting to break the seal! The more they come, the more I’ll kill!"

"But before that..."

"You won’t have the chance to witness that moment!"

After these words, Veridia suddenly struck the elders.

The former Great Elder of the Ghost Race saw Veridia’s move and his eyes narrowed.

"It’s do or die! I refuse to believe she’s unscathed after slaying so many Demon Clan members!"

"With a few of us plus this many Demon Clan, we could at least wear her down!"

In the next instant.

The figures clashed suddenly.

After a long while.

The battlefield became peaceful.

Only one figure still stood in the center of the battlefield.

Around her, lay a new pile of Demon Clan corpses, along with...

The corpses of several Ghost Race Elders!

Having completed it all, Veridia’s gaze remained unwavering.

Her focus sharply aimed at the heart of The Forbidden Land.

The next moment.

She stepped toward the center.

On her skin...

Besides the surrounding, dark Law of Power.

There appeared a streak of red!

Slaughter!

During these endless massacres.

Veridia began to comprehend a second Law!
