Chapter Vol. 3 Ch. 150
Estini appearing here was completely within Violet’s expectations. Considering the magnitude of the events, if the Feathered Emperor didn’t maintain stability outside, it could only mean that there were bigger issues involving the Sky Temple, which pertained to the deities.
Moreover, with the Northern battlefield in such peril, this transcendent ruler still insisted on staying in the Sky City, indicating that perhaps she had foreseen what was to come.
Sure enough, everything lined up.
However, the individual currently battling Estini was quite... unexpected for Violet.
It turned out to be a half-dragon person whom Miss Priestess had seen once or twice among the Beastman Kingdom’s diplomatic mission.
If memory served correctly, this one was a female named Rosa, Rosa Arnold. Arnold was the surname of the royal family in the Beastman Kingdom.
Wait, in various senses, this was all very strange.
Below, the little fox and the Beastman Kingdom’s diplomatic mission were assisting the winged people against external enemies, while Kunnir stood by watching the spectacle. Here, the half-dragon leader Rosa was fighting against the Feathered Emperor Estini. What was going on?
Moreover, while half-dragons were powerful, they weren’t true dragons. Aside from the Beastman Emperor, who had also reached transcendent status, were there other half-dragons capable of matching a transcendent like the Feathered Emperor, who was beyond level 60, in one-on-one combat?
No, something was off about this half-dragon named Rosa.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Violet quickly noticed the clues.
This individual was emitting a gray mist-like aura.
When a normal creature exhibited such a phenomenon, there were only two possible explanations.
Being eroded by the death mist, or directly transformed into a minion of the Goddess of Whitering like Hilda.
If it’s the former, it’s impossible for her to be as lively as she is now. So this Rosa Arnold is probably manipulated by that Seth from before.
Can such a thing really happen?
Perhaps Theresa’s deliberate accusation against the other party actually hit the mark. This half-dragon person had long been tainted by the Abyss, even during the time on Spris Island...
However, it seems that her situation is different from Hilda’s back then. Not only does she maintain sufficient rationality, but Miss Priestess, who had indirect contact with her twice, also didn’t notice anything wrong.
The black-haired girl and the golden-haired dragon girl holding hands with her both leaped out of the silver teleportation array!
“Who goes there!”
Several voices of guarded surprise sounded simultaneously. The dragon girl looked around curiously, but Miss Priestess, who had already investigated the surroundings with her incarnation, knew that this was indeed their destination—the Sky Temple atop the spire.
She switched her consciousness back to her original body, prepared to complete the teleportation. The whole process didn’t take too long, and the situation here remained the same as before.
However, their grand entrance unavoidably attracted the attention of everyone present, even the Feathered Emperor and the half-dragon, who were locked in combat, subconsciously cast their gaze in their direction.
While the priests might not recognize Miss Priestess, Kunnir immediately recognized her after the initial tension.
“You are... the mysterious woman who traveled with the Human United Kingdom diplomatic mission from [Fragrant Residence], right? Miss Violet?”
“Ah? Well, it’s quite surprising that you remember me.”
Violet patted her white robe and leisurely walked towards the center of the palace.
Indeed, she had briefly encountered this fellow at Fragrant Residence, and they had exchanged glances from afar during the banquet that night. But for Kunnir to immediately identify Miss Priestess in such a situation was truly remarkable. Considering that beastmen were often lacking in intelligence, he possessed far less information and intelligence than other creatures.
More than likely, he had spent time specifically investigating all the individuals of interest in the Sky City recently.
“Please wait, Miss Violet. This is a vital location in the Sky Kingdom, and outsiders are not allowed to tread lightly. As you can see, even though I apologize for the inconvenience, please clarify your intentions first.”
The several priests seemed to be restricted in place for some reason, unable to move easily. But Kunnir, the only one who was free, acted decisively and immediately moved to stand in front of Miss Priestess and her companion, his gaze revealing undisguised scrutiny and vigilance.
“..........?”
Oh my, how interesting, truly fascinating.
This tiger-folk, he’s simply...
If it weren’t for the inappropriate timing and the need to maintain decorum and composure, Violet really wanted to laugh out loud with delight.
This... goodness gracious, he’s a mere tiger-folk, yet he openly betrayed Rosa, a member of the royal family, and instead chose to ally with the winged people to protect this city?
