Chapter 222
Her judgment may not be the most accurate, but at least most of the time, valuing life is much better than not valuing it.
The three little ones left.
After confirming that no one was in the room, she took a deep breath.
Then... she looked at the writhing moon in front of her.
Great Beast...
Civilizations on Terra have all recorded similar existences to varying degrees.
But in Maria's view, the Great Beast should be like the Great Ones on her side, extraordinary beings that shouldn't exist in this world... They shouldn't even be called living beings!
But once Maria actually encountered them, she discovered that the so-called Great Beast were quite different from the Great Ones she had met before...
"Bang!"
A gigantic, jet-black claw suddenly stomped out.
The azure moon became distorted and bizarre, finally draped over the giant, jet-black wolf that was billowing black smoke.
Perhaps because it temporarily devoured these Wolf Lords to solidify its body, although it formed a giant wolf ten meters tall, it had problems all over its body.
Claws, not yet fully fused, still clung to the misty fur, struggling and grasping at the air.
The blood-red eyes on the upper and lower body were moving erratically.
It looked extremely strange.
"Why?"
Rottish and took a step closer to Maria, his terrifying appearance making him look like a monster!
"At this point, is there any need to ask why?"
Maria remained unusually calm in the face of the monster's questions.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the other person.
In a single stride, he was right in front of his opponent!
"Bang!"
Throw a straight punch!
An overwhelming force poured out instantly, forcefully sending him flying!
Its massive body disintegrated upon landing, but instantly reformed into a standing giant wolf.
The other blood-red, silver-white eyes above her, belonging to a different body, were glaring angrily at Maria.
"You broke the rules!"
"Sulfone--!"
It leaped forward, opening its massive, blood-red maw in mid-air!
"Boom--!"
The giant wolf's descent was like a meteorite, bombarding everything in its path.
Smoke and dust mixed with dirt began to swirl up.
But Maria simply leaped back lightly, thus dodging the attack.
"How ridiculous... Even you guys would disregard the rules?"
Maria's voice rang out, which further enraged Rottish!
"Aww--!"
The moment it landed, its body sprang up and pounced on Maria once again, its black, sharp teeth only a few centimeters away from Maria.
Maria was already airborne and unable to change direction.
But this never means she was out of options.
"Sulfone--!"
Without hesitation, Maria tore her own wrist, letting her blood gush into the other's throat.
The powerful blood began its counterattack the moment it entered the opponent's body; like conscious soldiers, it began to surge wildly towards Rottish's vital points!
"Woo!"
As if the excruciating pain instantly weakened Rottish's body, Maria seized the opportunity to stomp on his jaw and create distance once again.
Rottish, on the other hand, fell heavily to the ground and began to wail.
But only for a moment, and he used another method to neutralize the activity of that blood.
Maria's wrist has also been repaired...
The battles between monsters are just that simple and unadorned.
For them, no fancy methods are necessary; the simplest and most direct way is enough to fight each other.
To render the opponent unable to move, and to strip and absorb all of their abilities.
Humanity has spent countless efforts and time completing the transition from barbarism to civilization, and will continue to spend countless more years completing its own civilization.
However, this stage does not exist for those in Great Ones.
They are monsters, beasts, the most savage and primitive life forms.
They spend all their time fighting and plundering each other...
It has been so since its inception.
The same is true now.
The future will remain the same!
"Bang!"
Without hesitation, Maria took a step forward, her blood-red eyes drawing long, thin red lines in the air. Her body shot across countless distances like a cannonball, heading straight for Rottish's face!
His fist clenched, and a cold, ferocious punch was thrown out!
"Boom--!"
This strike was more terrifying than any of Rottish's previous strikes; this punch directly touched upon the opponent's most core authority!
With a single strike, Maria was already close to victory!
"Aww--!"
But Rottish is clearly not one to give up so easily.
Or perhaps, these Great Beast never believed they would fail.
It suddenly struggled to its feet.
Within a distance where there was almost no chance of escape, it swallowed Maria whole in one gulp!
A violent shockwave swept through, changing its form as it attempted to devour Maria whole!
Inside the other person's mouth, Maria's eyes were icy cold.
That flesh and blood were now harder than steel!
But...
"Tear--!"
Maria's expression didn't change at all. She reached out and ripped the other person's muscles apart, instantly escaping!
It landed, then turned around again!
"Boom boom boom boom--!"
The two sides continued their attacks relentlessly.
Every time Rottish leaves a wound on Maria retaliates with a heavy blow!
Neither side retreated, and neither side had the opportunity to retreat.
The war among those in Great Ones was predetermined from the very beginning!
It's a fight to the death!
Boom boom boom boom--!
In the darkness, terrifying roars rang out repeatedly like cannonballs, and the once luxurious Saluzzo Mansion collapsed and was destroyed in a short moment.
Everyone fled in terror into the distance, watching the battlefield erupt with horrifying sounds.
At this moment, they finally realized that on a real battlefield, they didn't even qualify as cannon fodder!
Meanwhile, the three little ones were sitting quietly in Madam Sicily's private car, facing Father Agniel and Madam Sicily.
The driver was the Sankta woman who had been sent to monitor Malaya.
But the other person seemed listless and even somewhat dejected at this moment.
In a daze, she glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the battlefield where smoke and dust were billowing into the sky again. She felt the vibrations that were rapidly transmitted to her feet, and her scalp tingled.
A disaster of such magnitude, even just witnessing it, can make one restless and uneasy.
Lappland remained unconscious, while Celinina tried to stay calm by breathing repeatedly with her eyes closed. Lavinia, suppressing a host of questions in her mind, carefully bandaged Celinina's hand... The punch she had just given Lappland had left her own hand red and swollen.
Although Madam Sicily was also worried about Maria, she took a deep breath and glanced at Father Agniel beside her.
"You knew she was back?"
"I know her, but I didn't know she and you knew each other."
Father Agniel shrugged.
To be honest, he really didn't know that Madam Sicily and Maria knew each other... especially since he saw the two of them talking and they seemed to get along quite well.
What's this?
He had been on tenterhooks ever since he met Maria, fearing that the Gray Hall would kill them because they were Sankta and had a bad relationship with the Sarkaz. Maria was the Banshee Court and the banshee of the Sankta court.
"So, do you have a plan for the current situation?"
"We've already discussed it... The rest of the Gray Hall staff should be evacuating the crowd now. We'll announce to the public that this was an accidental earthquake, and Gray Hall will handle the main rescue work... As for the subsequent construction and repair work..."
Agniel looked at Madam Sicily.
Madam Sicily was also very clever.
"The family will provide this sum of money... and the Gray Hall will oversee the flow of this money..."
Regardless of what happens at the top, this confrontation, thanks to prior planning, will at least spread Gray Hall's reputation throughout Volsinii.
In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, the first to help them were not the family who had always lived there, but the Gray Hall!
Regardless of how the family publicizes this matter afterward, the fact remains that they were the first to take action.
This means they will gain immense prestige as a result.
As for how to get the family to contribute money... Madam Sicily also had her own plans.
If they're willing to pay, that would be best; if they're not willing to pay... well, even better!
Gray Hall could promote these things and gain more support from the people of Siracusa.
It's important to understand that no matter how powerful a family is, its foundation is still the people of Siracusa.
Without a foundation, they will have nothing!
"Then I'll leave these matters to you."
Father Agniel smiled, appearing quite relaxed.
Meanwhile, little Lavinia remained restless.
After a long pause, she pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her.
"Um... sir, Ms. Maria ..."
"Don't worry, little girl."
