"What happened to her..."
Hana Ye's face was pale. She felt an utterly terrifying oppressive force emanating from Hana Ye, like the crushing weight of Divine Status, like confronting heaven and earth itself, making her instinctively afraid to approach.
Lin En's shattered body remained standing there. His gaze lingered on Hana Ye for a long time before his fists finally tightened slightly.
"The King of the Red Moon is about to be reborn."
He should have realized it long ago.
When she first lost control of her emotions and summoned that phantom Red Moon, he should have understood. The Red Moon had always been protecting her, and everything pointed to her soul already holding immense importance within it.
Or rather.
This had been her mother's deliberate design all along.
She had not only deceived the Lord of Crimson, but also led everyone watching her to deliberately overlook her soul. They assumed this weak child was merely a sacrifice dragged into the affair by fate, someone who would be ruthlessly discarded and sacrificed once her body had truly fused with the Authority.
In an instant.
Lin En raised his head and shot toward the little girl, his figure flickering.
Buzzz-
Almost simultaneously, the Red Moon hanging high in the night sky released a scarlet wave, like ripples spreading from a pebble dropped into a pond. The moment Lin En came within a hundred meters of her, a tremendous force hurled him back, leaving dense slashes of moonlight across his body.
Ophiel immediately leaped up and caught him.
That single attempt to approach had left his entire face and half his body slashed beyond recognition.
"The Red Moon has already started protecting her."
Lin En's gaze flickered. The cuts across his face began healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
