The emerald leaves of the plants were stuck with a strange layer of dark red. Drops of blood slowly slid down the petals, their pungent smell breaking the silence.
The heretic Lilette desperately suppressed the joy welling up inside her, preventing the corners of her mouth from twitching.
She was certain Hughberlian would never dare attack Immortal Mercury.
Because the moment Hughberlian approached, she would also have to guard against Lilette and Immortal Mercury secretly working together to strike her down.
Only Lilette dared kill Immortal Mercury without holding back.
For Hughberlian, this was actually an invisible dead end!
In the distance.
As if she had also realized this, Hughberlian collapsed onto the ground in despair, utterly bereft of hope.
Lilette, meanwhile, rushed toward Immortal Mercury without hesitation.
"..."
Lanchi's gaze lifted slightly from the pages of his book, catching sight of Lilette savagely mauling the summoned beast.
This criminal seemed very enthusiastic about putting on a one-woman show. From time to time, she even let the Silver Aberrant Form counterattack her, making it look as though she and the summon were truly mortal enemies and that she was doing everything she could to frame Hughberlian.
Lanchi turned his head again and looked at Hughberlian on the ground.
Their eyes happened to meet.
Lanchi quietly blinked once.
The meaning was clear: the plan had worked.
"..."
Hughberlian's eyes were filled with speechlessness and helplessness.
She felt that even if Lanchi dragged along two demon teachers to hold the heretic back, he might not necessarily lose.
Of course, avoiding bloodshed was naturally the best outcome.
Still, Hughberlian strongly suspected that Lanchi simply wanted to see the heretic learn the truth at the end and break down after realizing that her intelligence had been toyed with.
A few minutes later.
