Teresa Is Climbing the Ranks

Even though she didn't know exactly what was going on with the other person...

But...

Kal'tsit couldn't help but frown as she looked at the green on her plate.

Meanwhile, Maria, who had already walked out of the cell, turned around and looked at the other person.

Kal'tsit was initially resistant when she first woke up.

They even launched another attack on Maria.

Maria's approach to this untamable wildcat woman was simple and brutal.

Beat!

Beat them until they can no longer resist.

As a result, Maria launched no fewer than five Visceral Attack at him, only stopping when he began to twitch his brow whenever Maria raised his right hand.

This allowed the two sides to temporarily achieve a certain degree of peace...

Maria could understand Kal'tsit's resistance.

Nobody likes being stuck in a strange place like this.

But for Maria, she also had to ensure that the other party could not return to the battlefield... Considering the situation in Kazdel, she sent Kal'tsit to the most heavily guarded Demon King's Castle and inscribed many Banshees surveillance spells in her private cage.

She's always ready to come and help if anything unexpected happens.

After doing all this, Maria did not forget to inform some important people around her.

Only...

Turning her head, Maria frowned slightly as she looked at the bewildered Theresa.

"Don't you know she's being held here?"

"Huh?"

Theresa was stunned by Maria's words.

She was so surprised to see a stranger imprisoned in what should now be her castle, but judging from Maria's words... she should have known all along?

"I... I don't know..."

The girl honestly shook her head, causing Maria to frown.

Meanwhile, Kal'tsit, realizing what had happened, let out a cold laugh.

"You think you have everything under control, but you don't know that some people have already lost trust in you... The Sarkaz are not such a docile race."

Perhaps.

Maria for a moment, then shook her head.

Ignoring Theresa's hesitation, she silently looked at Kal'tsit in front of her and spoke softly.

"I have some questions for you."

This delivery wasn't just a simple meal delivery; Maria actually had something else she wanted to ask the other party.

After all, the other party is an important figure within the Allied Forces, Maria felt that the other party might know some intelligence.

"... I think I have the right to refuse to answer."

But clearly, the wild woman wasn't so willing to cooperate with Maria.

"Of course you have the right to refuse, but I also have the ability to take it by force..."

Maria spoke calmly.

Just as Theresa was stunned, Kal'tsit, whose face had been only Xubai, suddenly widened her eyes.

She suddenly slumped down, began to gag violently, and her body trembled.

But in the end, he only vomited some water.

His already pale face now looked even weaker, as if he had suffered some severe injury.

But after a moment, she struggled to lift her head and looked at Maria in astonishment.

"What... is this?"

"..."

"..."

"Tsk..."

"It seems you understand."

Maria spoke calmly, and her composed demeanor made Kal'tsit realize that it was Maria who had just done what had happened.

It was only then that Kal'tsit realized the huge flaw in her actions.

She had originally thought that Maria hadn't killed her, but instead imprisoned her in this castle, so she could find a way to contact the current Sarkaz Demon King.

She will still be able to achieve her goals in the future.

But I never expected...

The Demon King did indeed come into contact with her, but she herself became a lamb to the slaughter for Maria...

In that brief moment of death, she could clearly feel something within her body being forcefully robbed by Maria.

Clearly, Maria's Originium Arts can steal the memories of others.

This made Kal'tsit's heart sink.

She is not afraid of death.

No matter how many times she dies, she can still appear on this land.

But once what you know is leaked, the consequences will be immeasurable...

So, looking at Maria's calm expression, she had no choice but to grit her teeth.

What do you want to know?

She still chose to give in.

More than a temporary compromise, she was clearly more afraid of what Maria would do after stealing her memories.

This attitude, however, caught Maria's attention.

"You seem to have a lot to hide... How much do you actually know?"

"..."

Kal'tsit did not answer, but simply stared coldly at Maria through the cold iron bars.

She acknowledged her current defeat, but she did not admit that she had lost to Maria.

One failure proves nothing.

Maria did not pursue the matter further.

She only stood at the cell door after confirming that the other party was willing to cooperate.

He stared at the woman in front of him through the iron cage and the flickering light.

"Ananna... what exactly is it?"

"..."

Kal'tsit's expression gradually turned grim.

284

Chapter 284 Theresa is ranking up.

What exactly is Ananna?

In the dim light, the warm glow of the Lantern fell vaguely on Maria. Through the cold iron cage, she looked into the cell where even light couldn't penetrate, and at Kal'tsit inside. With the calmest tone, she uttered words that silenced Kal'tsit.

"..."

The green pupils contracted slightly from the darkness, but then flickered before returning to calm.

Although Kal'tsit suffered some losses in the recent confrontation, when it came to something truly important, Kal'tsit was still not as well-prepared as she had thought.

There are some things she still can't say.

"Don't you want to talk about it?"

Seeing Kal'tsit's silence, Maria roughly understood what she was thinking.

Clearly, this is a taboo subject, and the other party doesn't want to discuss it for the time being.

Since that's the case...

"I saw a lot in the intercepted files..."

As Maria spoke, she slowly raised her arm.

Right there beside her, she was holding the document that Nitze had given her earlier.

After a quick glance, Maria found the page she had seen earlier.

"What does 'when necessary, use the necessary forces' mean?"

Maria looked at Kal'tsit.

This time, Kal'tsit didn't pretend to be dead.

She simply pursed her lips for a moment, then exhaled.

"Great Beast..."

"Great Beast?!"

"Great Beast?"

In response to Kal'tsit's words, Theresa and Maria each reacted differently.

Maria was somewhat puzzled.

When did the Allied Forces reach an agreement with the Great Beast?

Theresa was somewhat taken aback.

Aside from handling standard business, she has spent most of her time studying the power of the Black Crown that suddenly appeared beside her.

She also saw things about the Great Beast in the memories of the kings within the Black Crown.

She knew perfectly well just how powerful the Great Beast was.

Even the Sarkaz must be extremely careful when dealing with Great Beast.

If the Allied Forces truly gain the support of the Great Beast... then this war will truly come to a conclusion...

"You have mastered the power of the Great Beast?"

Almost immediately, a flustered Theresa questioned Kal'tsit in front of her.

However, it's clear that although Kal'tsit was suppressed by Maria, she didn't think she had lost to Theresa next to her.

When confronted with Theresa's questions, she simply closed her eyes and remained silent.

Maria reached out and gently grasped Theresa's shoulder.

"They didn't have it..."

"Huh?"

"It's a summons..."

Maria let out a breath.

Although she can now analyze to some extent the differences between the Great Beast and the 'god' she once faced, there is one similarity.

They all possess terrifying powers that are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

As someone whose status has reached a certain level, Maria knows that once she enters that dazed and absent-minded state, she will almost always respond to the calls of others.

If nothing unexpected happens, it seems that Kal'tsit intends to use this method.
