Fishing

If you stood on the back mountain of Chenghui Plateau and looked out over the sea, you could see wave after wave rolling in with sprays of foam, while seagulls skimmed across the surface, leaving behind crisp cries.

But at that moment, the situation took a sudden turn...

Griseo no longer bothered concealing herself. She stepped out slowly and pressed down Yixuan's right hand, causing the golden light representing Yunkui Mountain's arts to gradually fade.

"Griseo?"

Yixuan glanced sideways at her, unable to understand why she had stopped her.

Griseo did not answer. Her gaze fell upon Isolde, while Isolde looked back at Griseo. She clearly looked like a little girl, yet the pressure of her presence made Isolde struggle to breathe.

"Isolde, leave."

Griseo spoke slowly. "I won't stop you from completing your revenge, but you cannot harm any more innocent people. Otherwise..."

"...So it was you!"

After wondering for a long time, Isolde sensed Griseo's powerful aura and immediately showed a look of realization.

So this little girl had been behind everything!

Phaethon had indeed caused the Praise Society plenty of trouble all along, but something about it had never seemed right!

Phaethon did not possess that much influence. Back when Bringer turned into a Sacrificial Ghost, he had been empowered by Hoshimi Miyabi's data and the Ether Energy of Dead End Hollow, yet that operation had barely caused a ripple.

It was not that she looked down on Hoshimi Miyabi. According to Sarah's planning report, Hoshimi Miyabi had been in a weakened state.

And the reason for everything was actually this little girl?

Of course, the Praise Society's mole in the city government had previously sent word that there was a little girl comparable to a Void Hunter, possessing terrifying strength, but no one had believed it.
