Duchy of Winter, Province of St. Alexius, Pillar of Poison Fern.
Bella landed on all fours and ran quickly on the ground.
Yes, she is not a human, but a werewolf.
Her spine is not in the shape of a human, but in the shape of a wolf. Her limbs are deformed into animal claws at the elbow and knee joints, and gray-white hair grows on the four legs.
She also has short gray-white hair, which makes her very difficult to spot in the snow while wearing white leather armor.
She runs very fast - even in the snow, she can reach more than eighty kilometers per hour. And the protruding stones on the ground, the steep cliffs, and the broken stone pillars covered with dark green ferns
, completely unable to cause any trouble to her running.
But her dark golden pupils were full of fear——
"You're the only one left, defector."
A cold and hollow voice sounded in the air, with heavy echoes.
The hair on Bella's body exploded instantly.
Without thinking, she changed her original direction of movement, and in two or three times she jumped onto a 30-meter-tall sheer rock pillar.
Her silver necklace shone brightly at the same time.
Countless black runes flowed out from the silver collar, forming ferocious war patterns on her face and collarbone.
And as the curse lines emerged, her figure suddenly became light.
Without hesitation, Bella jumped from the top of the rock pillar covered with poisonous ferns - when her animal feet touched the air, ripples appeared like water waves. And her speed more than tripled again.
The wind visible to the naked eye formed a cloak-like wave behind her. The wind wrapped around her body, allowing her to move freely and silently in the air.
This is something only "Windrunners" can do.
But just then...
The sky quickly turned dark.
That's a dark cloud.
The speed at which dark clouds cover the sun is much faster than Bella's speed in the air.
In front of Bella, the howling wind took shape instantly, enveloping the snow on the ground and turning it into a sky-high blizzard wall, trapping her in the eye of the wind.
Bella looked up with some fear.
Under the dark clouds, a short girl in white robe was seen floating in the air.
There was no emotion in her ice-blue pupils, and her half-open eyes were filled with godlike indifference.
The long, silky hair that reaches her waist is no longer the same harmless black color as when she was a child. Under the catalysis of the power of blood, it has turned into a silvery white with a slight bluish tint at the end.
She wore a white, gauze-like robe, with a hollow silver crown on her head. On her slender and long neck, and on her bare ankles, there were fine silver scales floating on the skin.
Of course Bella knew who this was.
Maria Winter—the princess of this country. The only daughter of Grand Duke Winter.
He is also the current supreme ruler of the extraordinary organization "Hand of Winter" in the Principality of Winter.
A monster who was promoted to gold at the age of seventeen.
——Can’t escape.
In desperation, Bella let out a long wolf howl.
Her body expanded rapidly and soon turned into a giant wolf more than two meters tall, standing upright.
She showed no sign of cowardice and showed her sharp claws towards the "Daughter of the Storm".
But the next thing she did was to tear out her own tongue.
Facing a gold-level command wizard, she did not have the confidence to control her body.
Facing her almost futile resistance, Maria showed no expression on her face.
She didn't even seem to see anything.
That's not arrogance or contempt, but pure disregard.
"I don't want to say it...that's fine."
Maria whispered: "Then just [commit suicide]."
There was a curse-like magic in her cold voice.
Without any warning, Bella's right hand reached out like lightning and pulled out her heart in an instant.
Maria watched Bella's pupils gradually lose color and her body gradually fell from the sky, then she remained silent and raised her head slightly.
The next moment, her body instantly disintegrated into countless snowflakes, blending into the howling ice storm around her.
The storm drowned Bella's body in the air - it was instantly covered with frost, and fell into the snow one step ahead of the falling snow. Then the storm that gradually calmed down, wrapped in the snow and fell again, burying it on the spot.
.
In the Principality of Winter, the corpse of an extraordinary person may be buried in every thick snow.
A storm blew past, and at some point Maria's body appeared on the pillar where Bella was standing.
She pulled out a pure white jade card from her arms - the originally empty card was filled with writing at some point.
She read the letter from Vasily Manning carefully, and her long hair falling behind her gradually fell.
The man in the mirror...?
Silently reciting the name of the new god, there was no movement in Maria's pupils.
Michelangelo succeeded.
Then this means... one can be promoted to god without the Book of Truth.
Just become a god...
Her pupils are deep and distant.
At the end she was looking at, the extreme north of the Principality of Winter... it was called the end of human civilization.
The materialized nightmare, the endless gray mist... and the undead who were swallowed by the gray mist.
——As long as you become a god, you can freely step into the gray mist.
"Annan..."
She closed her eyes and murmured softly.
In a mind filled with countless negative emotions, there was a rare moment of tranquility.
"Good news."
After digesting the good news, Maria replied coldly: "Get ready to return home, Vasily.
"Ten days later, a cargo ship covered with blue canvas will arrive at the frozen water port. You can leave by boat."
Then, she sent the message.
But soon, new replies appeared on it.
That was not the "receive" she was familiar with.
It was information about her biological brother who had been missing for more than a year——
"...Annan, in Noah?"
This is good news.
Annan did not disappear, nor was he killed by Fufu...
But soon, her heart was filled with strong restlessness, anxiety and suspicion:
Annan has also become a transcendent, that's all.
The key question is...how does he return to China?
If Noah knew that Annan was trapped in his own country, would they force him to do anything? Will they imprison him? Will they torture him? Will they imprison Annan in exchange for benefits? Will they torture him in exchange for information?
Will Fufu hunt him down? Can the old grandmother find Annan?
Her calm mind was instantly disrupted, and countless possibilities that made her tremble and made her uneasy kept emerging in her heart.
"Annan...Annan Annan Annan Annan Annan Annan..."
She murmured in a low voice and read it repeatedly.
Finally, Maria broke free from the restless emotions that kept rising in her heart.
--No matter how.
This is a matter that must be discussed with my father.
