Rosen was watching the images on the screen:
A hunter with his entire body painted green, full of muscles, was sneaking towards an underwater cave.
He had overheard some information from the mouth of a top-ranking inheritor of the Ger race that a real god was sleeping in this cave. Out of curiosity and following the teachings of his ancestors, he entered the cave with his bow and arrows.
“Huh, who is he? He’s already made it this far?” Melanctha, who had not left the tower since returning to the Sky Mechanical City, asked.
“Kaiso. Sunward. Fivenda.” Rosen replied casually.
“I didn’t expect you to remember the names of these apprentices.” Melanctha smiled slightly: “I wonder if Father still remembers Mother’s name.”
Rosen was silent for a moment: “Shelley.”
“It seems that a wizard’s memory is so good that even if they don’t want to remember, they can’t forget, right?” Melanctha stopped at that and didn’t mention her mother again. The conversation returned to the person in the image: “If I heard correctly, his surname is Fivenda? Which Fivenda is he?”
Rosen: “The one you’re thinking of.”
“The author of the Strange World, the Wandering Wizard Fivenda?” Melanctha paused and looked at Kaiso’s actions in the image: “It seems he has also inherited his family’s tradition, with a very heavy curiosity.”
By this time, Kaiso had already entered the cave. Passing through a long underwater corridor, he arrived in a hollow underground world.
This underground world was incredibly vast, comparable to the first stop in the Fairytale World that Angel had reached: Hippocrates.
However, such a vast underground world was empty, except for a huge iceberg. In the iceberg, with a glint of reflection, a shadow could barely be seen.
“Being too curious might not be a good thing,” Melanctha had just finished speaking when the ice of the iceberg began to slowly crack, and the person frozen in the iceberg slowly opened their eyes.
“However, it’s also good. This Kaiso should be able to write new travel notes, like his ancestor, and exaggerate the situation here, right?”
Rosen, however, said indifferently: “There’s no need for travel notes. By the time the Ger race’s civilization sacrifice begins, others should have already seen it.”
…
Angel and the others were still chasing after Jiebo.
After listening to Coral’s words, Angel imagined several stories and gradually sorted out his thoughts.
It seemed that Jiebo was not really to blame for this situation.
It seems that Hilary has some hidden personality that never appears in her daily life, but whenever she sees Jiebo, this hidden personality seems to be attracted like a bee to honey, instantly emerging from her calm heart, shouting and fighting against Jiebo, even threatening to burn the sea and poison him, turning Jiebo into a stagnant pool of dead water.
This is what Coral said.
Before Angel entered the Purification Garden, he had seen Hilary’s transformation in the valley and heard her sudden reason for attacking Jiebo. So, it basically matched Coral’s statement.
It would be fine if Hilary just wanted to kill Jiebo, but her talent seemed to counter Jiebo’s abilities, and most importantly, they actually encountered Jiebo.
Then, things took a turn for the worse.
After encountering Jiebo, Hilary’s hidden personality surfaced, and she mistreated Jiebo. Then Hilary fell into a deep sleep, leaving Coral and Nausica to clean up the mess.
If it were someone else, they would probably leave Hilary behind, but they could enter the Purification Sea from the Flying Fish World entirely thanks to Hilary’s help.
So, they had no choice but to accept the responsibility of Hilary’s actions and began to flee.
Jiebo had a female apprentice whose strength was on par with his. However, to take care of the injured Jiebo, she chased them for a while and then returned to Jiebo’s side.
Then it was the matter of Sunisha and Carvelyn accepting the bounty.
From Coral’s narration, it was clear that she felt somewhat embarrassed. It was probably that Jiebo and Hilary were naturally incompatible, causing the situation to escalate to its current state.
After listening, Angel basically positioned Jiebo as an innocent bystander.
Of course, Cherie didn’t think so. She believed that there was no such thing as unprovoked hatred in the world, so there must be some unknown backstory to why Hilary would take such drastic actions against Jiebo, and Jiebo must be the villain in that story.
Angel understood Cherie’s thoughts, but regardless of Coral’s perspective or Cherie’s perspective, Jiebo was actually quite innocent.
Not to mention Hilary. As a matter of fact, there was no direct hatred between Cherie and Jiebo.
Cherie was determined to kill Jiebo because his suspected “relative” Mentor was the Sea God Florence. But was it Jiebo who instructed Florence to kill Cherie’s parents in the first place? Was Jiebo involved? Did Jiebo participate? It seemed that all the answers were negative, and Cherie insisted on targeting Jiebo, probably due to her displaced anger.
Angel secretly sympathized with the Scapegoated Jiebo, but regardless, he would still do what he had to do. To find out Nausica’s location, he had to rescue Hilary.
Before knowing the news about Nausica, Angel would have let it go. But once he knew, he naturally wouldn’t ignore it within his power, after all, Nausica had saved him before.
Rescuing Hilary, of course, would offend Jiebo.
Angel believed that he naturally had a grudge against Jiebo.
This self-righteousness of Angel did not change until they arrived at their destination and realized that they were too naive.
When Luna led them to a seabed filled with coral reefs, what they saw was completely different from what they had imagined.
Hilary’s condition… Watching her attack frantically, she appeared to be unhurt and doing well, right?
Jiebo’s condition… One cheek red and the other blue, as if cut in half by a knife. Under Hilary’s onslaught, he was steadily retreating.
That’s right, Hilary didn’t look miserable at all. She was shouting “Burn” and “Poison” the Sea while happily attacking Jiebo. Jiebo’s condition was far worse than Hilary’s.
Moreover, Hilary was facing Jiebo, a female apprentice, and a giant Unicorn Abyssal Whale all by herself. Fighting against three opponents without losing ground and getting stronger as the battle continued, as Angel observed.
His original goal was to rescue Hilary, but now it seemed more appropriate to rescue Jiebo instead. This poor child was in terrible condition, and he might die within a few minutes.
Coral covered her mouth, looking shocked at the scene before her, then whispered to Angel: “See, that’s how it is. As soon as Hilary faces Jiebo, she becomes like a different person, as if she’s been splashed with chicken blood. I don’t even recognize her anymore.”
Angel shook his head.
At this moment, Cherie rushed forward recklessly, her target naturally being Jiebo. She originally thought it would be a tough battle, but in the end, she found it to be an opportunity to take advantage and beat a drowning dog, so how could she not be happy?
With a swish, faster than anyone, Cherie rushed to Jiebo’s side, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Angel stood far away, not joining the battle. Coral did not join the chaos either, but kept watching Hilary’s condition from the side, fearing she would suddenly fall asleep again.
Cherie didn’t know what she said to Jiebo, but Jiebo’s face was complicated, filled with the sadness of a leaking roof in continuous rain.
Angel felt sympathy for his plight, but it was limited to a little pity in his heart. The only thing he could do was not to add fuel to the fire.
Angel noticed that after Cherie joined the battle, the rhythm became somewhat chaotic. Hilary was of the mysterious side branch and had absolute control over water. The sea was her home turf. Yet, Cherie kept summoning otherworldly flames, which hindered Hilary’s tactics.
As a result, the battle fell into a stalemate.
At first, Hilary seemed to cooperate with Cherie due to the latter’s hostility towards Jiebo. But later, she realized that Cherie’s participation was like a troublemaker joining, so she started to ignore her and even sent Cherie into the enemy’s lair, to fight together!
Coral kept calling from the side, hoping Hilary wouldn’t hurt her allies, but Hilary was too focused on the fight and didn’t care about any outside information.
Thus, a bizarre scene emerged in the battle.
A chaotic melee broke out, a three-sided fight with each pair as enemies. It was accompanied by verbal sparring, and Angel watched with astonishment.
“Angel, what should we do now? If this continues, we’ll be the ones getting hurt,” Coral wanted to join the battle, but she couldn’t decide which side to take. She could only pin her hopes on Angel.
Angel sighed. He originally came here to save Hilary, but if the situation continued, things could go awry.
So, at this moment, Angel finally made his move.
With a slight movement of his fingers, several illusion nodes appeared around everyone. Those caught in the melee didn’t notice Angel’s actions, so when they were all trapped in the illusion, they realized they had been ambushed.
Angel entered the illusory world and released the power of the Nightmare Domain through the thick fog. The Nightmare Domain was a powerful move against apprentices, especially when everyone was exhausted.
Everyone was almost trapped in the illusion.
“Angel, what are you doing?” Cherie scolded.
Angel: “I thought if I didn’t step in, you would kill each other before Jiebo could recover. You should just back off and let Hilary do the job.”
Cherie: “I want to kill him myself.”
“His life is mine!” Hilary also couldn’t stay silent. Moreover, Angel could see through the fog that Hilary’s expression was extremely strange, completely different from the gentle woman he had met before.
As expected, just as Coral mentioned, whenever Hilary encountered Jiebo, she seemed to transform into a different person.
In her current state, Hilary was certainly not in a position to find anyone.
Given that…
Angel slowly unraveled Cherie’s illusion spell, allowing her to deal with Jiebo herself.
Jiebo had been silent all along, but in reality, he was seizing the opportunity to recover his strength. The other female apprentice’s injuries were even more severe, making it difficult for her to contribute in battle for the time being.
When Cherie approached, a sinister glint flickered in Jiebo’s eyes.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”
