Escape
The branches and Vines that had been chasing Lumian retracted instantly, and after another javelin-like tree trunk fell, the story ended there.
Lumian exhaled, and as he ran, he lifted his body and looked up.
He saw Suzanne Matisse, along with the Orb of plants surrounding her, burned to ashes, and saw a tree trunk that didn't belong to the newly grown tree Burning and fall not far away.
"Done! "Lumian finally relaxed, stopped trying to hold on, and collapsed to the ground.
The crimson Flames that had been burning him went out, revealing his charred body, which was barely recognizable as human.
Lumian struggled to sit up, leaning against the wall of the Golden Rooster Inn, which was covered with Vines and branches. Like a Vagrant abandoned by the world, he watched with a hint of mockery as the "Shadow Tree" sank even further down, sinking deeper and deeper.
He also saw all the Vines and branches shrink back to the trunk, and saw the people who were hanging loosely fall to the ground from different heights.
Of the first dozen or so people whose life essence was drained, three or four were suspended nearly three meters in the air. They were already very weak, and after such a heavy fall, they all lost most of their lives and fell unconscious on the Past. Perhaps they could be saved, or perhaps they could not.
The hundreds of people who were suspended at a low position and whose life force had not been fully drained suffered some injuries from the fall, but none of them affected their lives, nor did they affect their hasty scramble to their feet and rush toward the edge of the Wilderness.
Gabriel, pale-faced and with scrapes on his hands and feet, didn't react by fleeing. Instead, he bent down to pick up the scattered script of "The Chaser of Light." The eloping Couple, suspended together, cursed each other for being a burden while supporting each other, their legs slightly shaky from the fall, and followed the crowd, surging into the distance. Pavar Nissen, the Boss of the Underground Bar, was only slightly weak and otherwise unharmed. Clutching the sketch he had just drawn, he started running...
The charred Lumian sat on the street, leaning against the Golden Rooster Inn, which was very close to the "Shadow Tree." With the back of his head against the wall, he watched quietly as the vendors, pedestrians, and cheap Apartment tenants fled energetically to the edge of the Wilderness.
Inside the "Shadow Tree," "Lady Moon" saw that the battle had drawn in many Angel and Saint, and that her side was becoming increasingly strained with reinforcements from the two major Church and the Eighth Bureau. Suddenly, the thought of retreating arose in her mind.
If this continues, both Church might have to ask Divine Descent in different ways! "Lady Moon" quickly made up her mind.
Having been Deprivation of several abilities and trapped in various "forbidden" situations, she pressed her hand against the bulge in her abdomen while opening her mouth.
An extremely shrill scream erupted in this Alternate Dimension, and the "Shadow Tree," with its nearly two-meter-long trunk still on the ground, instantly Change.
Located on different branches and bark, shrouded in a thin mist, in Past scene, all the figures formed by different desires and now completely dead have come back to life, except for Emperor Roselle.
Many of them were Half-God, who walked out of their respective "historical periods" with numb, indifferent expressions and a cold, gloomy aura.
"Resurrection"!
Using the special properties of the "Divine Fetus" in her womb and the "Shadow Tree," Lady Moon temporarily Resurrection the desires that had accumulated over a thousand years, restoring them to their original forms.
Although this cannot last, and the Resurrection beings will be significantly weaker than before, the addition of a large number of Half-God to help in the battle within a few seconds can still effectively influence the situation and bring about extreme chaos.
It was only because of the "Divine Fetus" that "Lady Moon" dared to follow and enter this place to participate in the chaotic battle; otherwise, she would have abandoned the "Bliss Society" and left this area on her own, having only promised to provide cover and interception.
Silently, the Resurrection phantoms rapidly melted away under the blazing Sunlight, and "Lady Moon" seized the opportunity to reclaim the less damaged part of the Otherworld, merging it with it and disappearing without a trace.
Market Avenue, inside the tan-colored four-story building where the Member of Parliament reside.
Imre, the mixed-race Imre, did not immediately question the Assassin Jenna. Instead, he had two Secret Agent from the Seventh Bureau perform basic disinfection and bandaging on Jenna to stop the bleeding. This was done to prevent the Criminal from dying from her injuries in order to extract more clues. Meanwhile, Valentine, Antoine, and the other Secret Agent observed and questioned the other people who had attended the banquet, including Cassandra and Rhone, who were members of G. Artois's team.
Rumble!
Another tremor ran through the Underground. People near the windows saw glimpses of Messy Street, Nightingale Street, and White Coat Street emerging from the ground, flashing with light from time to time. Around them, Clergy wearing white robes with gold trim and carrying various Machine approached.
This slowed down the Interrogation of Imre, Valentine, and others. After a while, Angoulême de François, wearing a coat with Golden Button, entered the Banquet Hall with the Gray-White humanoid mechanical construct, several other team members, and a large number of Police.
After listening to Imre's report, he looked around, glanced at Jenna, and then said to Travis Everett, "Bring all the people who attended the banquet to headquarters and question them separately."
"The Assassin will stay here; we'll investigate. Um... members of the Mr. Member of Parliament's team will also stay; there are some things we need to know."
Everett did not object, and the officers led the horrified and amused crowd away from the tan building housing the Parliament Parliamentarian’s Office.
Once the hall was empty, Angoulême gave instructions to the two Seventh Bureau Secret Agent standing beside Jenna:
"Take the Assassin to the lounge, but make sure she can't hear our conversation, lest she use it to conceal part of the truth."
After watching Jenna being led into the lounge facing the street behind them, Angoulême walked up to Cassandra, Rhone, and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, there are some things we need to understand."
At this point, a smile appeared on his face:
"By the way, the Mr. Member of Parliament has died, and according to the law, he immediately lost his seat."
"In other words, you are no longer members of the Mr. Member of Parliament's team and no longer enjoy the necessary exemptions."
"Therefore, let's get the notarization done first before we discuss it further."
Upon hearing Angoulême's words, Cassandra and the others' expressions Change simultaneously.
In the lounge, Jenna, whose mind had been at peace since assassinating Hugh Artois, heard a loud commotion coming from the direction of the hall.
One of the two armed Secret Agent from the Seventh Bureau who were guarding her ran to the door to investigate.
When Jenna realized that she was left with only one security guard, her heart skipped a beat, and an idea suddenly came to her.
Her expression suddenly changed, and she looked behind the guard with surprise and fear.
Although the Secret Agent had received rigorous training, it was precisely because of this that he knew things that Ordinary Person didn't. And today, with the unusual incidents in the Messy Street area, the assassination attempt on the Mr. Member of Parliament, and now a battle seemingly involving supernatural forces unfolding in the hall, how could he not worry that the lounge would also be affected, or that something might be lurking behind him?
He instinctively wanted to turn around, but he became alert halfway through.
But for Jenna, that was enough.
Already handcuffed, she clenched her fists and slammed them into the Secret Agent's shoulder and neck, knocking him to the ground and causing his Pistol to slip out of his grasp.
Before the Secret Agent at the door could react, Jenna placed her hands on the windowsill, jumped up, smashed through the glass, and landed like a feather in the alley behind.
Immediately afterward, she endured the pain from her gunshot wound, hid in the shadows of a corner, and quickly escaped the tan building.
After changing directions several times and using several abilities, "Lady Moon" finally emerged from the "Otherworld".
By this time, she had escaped to the Erato District, northwest of Trier, where a magnificent building with several Spire and painted in Golden stood before her.
Lady Moon carefully checked her surroundings again and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the fact that the evil tree had penetrated deeper into the Fourth Epoch Trier, which would have benefited the "Great Mother," she wouldn't have been willing to participate in the "Bliss Society's" actions, not wanting to expose herself. After all, those who control their desires are often controlled by them, and the chances of failure are not low.
The next second, "Lady Moon" entered the building, which was predominantly off-white, from the side.
Several hundred meters away, a Golden Dog was quietly squatting next to a Women wearing a green Long Dress.
They silently watched "Lady Moon's" every move, silently gazed at the magnificent building with its many Spire, their expressions somewhat solemn and serious.
That is the Sacred Heart Monastery, the Sacred Heart Monastery of the Church the "Eternal Blazing Sun".
In the Wilderness where the buildings of Messy Street, Nightingale Street, and White Coat Street were beginning to collapse but not yet affected, Lumian saw that the "Shadow Tree" was almost completely shrunk into the Underground, and he mocked Termiboros:
"I wasn't that unlucky, actually I succeeded."
He had barely finished speaking when Franca, having regained her composure and Rationality, ran over and hissed, "Is this some kind of Acting of a charred Corpse?"
As she spoke, she took out Healing Potion she had obtained from the Stinger Gang, intending to give Lumian half a bottle first.
Lumian's injuries were not as serious as they appeared. Burns that would be fatal to most mid- Low-Sequence Beyonder would at most require him to lie in bed for a month or two for the "Pyromaniac." None of the injuries from fractures, explosions, or impacts would immediately kill the "Hunter." He would recover naturally by tomorrow.
Considering that the Wilderness might be hunted down by Official Beyonder after it completely disappeared, Lumian didn't push himself and gulped down half a bottle.
Soon, he felt his body recovering rapidly.
At this point, the Wilderness was on the verge of complete collapse, all the streets had returned to their original positions, and many people had rushed in.
Franca surveyed her surroundings and said quickly, "Can we move? We need to get out of here right away."
"Okay." Lumian stood up.
He then took two steps to the side, intending to pick up the short tree trunk that had been burned off the "Shadow Tree" before leaving.
Just as Lumian grasped the tree trunk, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of something:
In the depression left after the "Shadow Tree" sank back into the Underground, a blurry, transparent creature flashed by.
Lumian's pupils dilated suddenly, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing and wanted to see it more clearly.
It was a Lizard- like, transparent, blurry figure!
It looked exactly like the "little Elf" he had seen in his dream!
Those are the Monster that come out of Aurora's mouth!
