At the sa ti, outside the entrance to the Divine Realm Sanctum.
In the Human Race’s temporary camp, Elara Crimson was fully focused, on high alert.
Suddenly, a mber of the Blood Clan rushed over, his face filled with barely concealed terror:
"Lady Elara! There’s a... an extrely terrifying aura, rapidly approaching from the southeast! The Speed is too fast!"
"What?"
At his words, Elara Crimson’s expression turned instantly grave.
One had to know, the one reporting to her this ti was a Half-Step Totem Level powerhouse from the Blood Clan.
Even such a powerhouse was calling that aura unimaginably terrifying.
Then the strength of the newcor must far exceed their imagination!
"Everyone, highest alert!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Elara Crimson imdiately issued the order.
Zane Drake and the other main forces were still inside the Sanctum; she had to hold this sole entrance and secure their retreat.
However, when that aura truly drew near, the taut strings in Elara Crimson’s heart suddenly relaxed.
She imdiately raised her hand to signal: "Stand down! It’s one of ours!"
The one coming... was Vera!
Although Vera had, for various reasons, not taken action to aid the Human Race before, Elara Crimson knew very well that she could not possibly harbor hostility toward humans.
As the streaming light dispersed, Vera’s figure erged.
She was still in that erald-green long dress, but the Life Aura radiating from her body was as vast as an ocean and unfathomably deep.
She cast Elara Crimson a cold glance, a faint, barely noticeable estrangent in her eyes.
In Vera’s heart, even among Aster Grant’s Beastbond companions, there were degrees of closeness.
Lazuli and Veridia had accompanied him the longest, and their combat prowess was equally terrifying; as for Elara Crimson...
Whether in terms of strength or the bond with their master, in her eyes, Elara was at the very bottom.
"Sister Vera!" Elara Crimson ca forward to greet her, a trace of anticipation in her tone. "Why are you here? Have you decided to help the Human Race?"
But Vera only spoke lightly:
"Master has returned, and you actually didn’t sense it at all?"
"Sure enough, being weak really does make you useless!"
During this period without Aster Grant, Vera’s strength had increased to a monstrously terrifying level.
But her way of thinking had gone astray.
Because she had been alone for so long, absorbing the Swarm King’s Power.
Her temperant had unconsciously been influenced by the Swarm King.
As a result, the current her...
Was Power above all.
She believed that with Power, one could have everything.
The only thing that had not changed... was that longing she held for Aster Grant.
Hearing Vera’s words, Elara Crimson lowered her head in sha.
She also knew that her strength was far inferior compared to Aster Grant’s main Battle Beastbonds.
She didn’t even understand why Aster Grant had made a Contract with her in the first place.
Thus, under Vera’s words, she could only bow her head, feeling ashad.
"Sister Vera, I’m sorry!"
"But where is Master right now? I really can’t sense Master’s aura."
Vera glanced at Elara Crimson, then locked her gaze on the entrance to the Divine Realm Sanctum.
With Elara Crimson’s intelligence, she naturally understood at once.
Their master must be inside the Divine Realm Sanctum!
But very quickly, Elara Crimson seed to realize sothing and promptly reminded her:
"Sister Vera, right now the Divine Realm Sanctum is jointly guarded by the Human Race, the Vicious Beasts, and the Demon Clan."
"If you want to enter at this mont, I’m afraid..."
Elara Crimson didn’t finish the sentence, but Vera understood what she ant.
A mocking curve tugged at the corner of Vera’s lips.
Vicious Beasts?
Demon Clan?
Rules?
None of that mattered.
She only knew...
Any existence that dared to block her from seeing her master had only one fate—
Death!
Without the slightest hesitation, Vera’s figure moved, turning into a streak of erald light that shot straight toward the Sanctum entrance!
"Insolence!"
"Stop her!"
Almost the instant she moved, the Vicious Beast and Demon Clan powerhouses guarding the entrance all roared in fury!
Several powerful auras blasted into the sky!
Two Totem-level Demon Clan, plus several Half-Step Totem Level Demons and Vicious Beasts, blocked Vera’s path.
They struck almost simultaneously!
All kinds of attacks intertwined, sweeping toward Vera in an all-encompassing barrage!
Their orders were to forbid anyone from entering the Divine Realm Sanctum again.
Yet in the face of this joint assault, enough to kill an ordinary Totem Level powerhouse...
Vera’s eyes held only an icy indifference.
"Ants... dare to bar my way?"
She didn’t even make any obvious defensive or evasive moves; she rely stirred a thought.
"Buzz—!"
Centered on her, a burst of dazzling green light, dripping with vitality, exploded forth!
This light was not a gentle healing force, but held within it the most primal, most savage Law of Life.
The next mont, a sight that all witnesses would rember for the rest of their lives unfolded!
The solid ground at the entrance was instantly torn apart as countless thick, Great Dragon-like vines, glimring with Jade Vine luster, burst from the earth, wildly growing and spreading!
These vines were fast as lightning, tough as god-tal, and more terrifying still, they seed to possess Life and will, lunging unerringly at every Vicious Beast and Demon that emitted hostility!
"No! What is this?!"
"My Demonic Qi... it’s being devoured!"
"Save—"
Screams, roars, and tearing sounds were all abruptly cut off!
The towering Demonic Qi unleashed by those two Totem Fiend Elders lted away the instant it touched the Jade Vines.
The vines easily pierced their demonic bodies, draining their Life essence and souls alike to the very last drop!
Those Half-step Totem beings couldn’t even manage the slightest resistance before being run through by the vines, turned into desiccated corpses!
Slaughter! A one-sided, crushing slaughter!
In just a few breaths, all those who had just been so aggressive, blocking her way...
Were completely swallowed and annihilated by that terrifying sea of Jade Vines, without even a scrap left behind!
The previously noisy, chaotic entrance area fell into dead silence in an instant.
Only that boundless, slowly writhing sea of Jade Vines remained, exuding a threat that made souls tremble.
On the Human Race’s side of the camp, everyone—Elara Crimson included—stood frozen in place, eyes wide, minds blank.
So of the weaker-willed warriors even felt their legs go soft, nearly collapsing to the ground.
They knew Vera was strong, but they had never imagined...
That she had beco so unimaginably powerful, almost godlike!
Totem Level powerhouses, before her, were as feeble as clay chickens and pottery dogs, unable to withstand a single blow!
Elara Crimson stared at that quiet yet terrifying erald ocean and the green figure at its center, her heart surging with monstrous waves.
Vera had changed so much!
Not only had her strength grown unspeakably terrifying.
Her attitude had changed even more.
That coldness that saw all living beings as weeds, and that stance of crushing everything beneath her!
Vera didn’t spare so much as a glance at the enemies who’d beco fertilizer; her gaze remained fixed on the Sanctum entrance from beginning to end.
Her figure once again turned into a streak of light, plunging without hesitation into that spatial vortex.
Only when her figure completely vanished did that terrifying sea of vines slowly fade like an illusion.
Leaving behind only an empty, deathly silent entrance, and in the air, a faint mix of Life’s fresh scent and a tallic tang of blood...
Proving that the brief yet horrifying slaughter just now had not been a hallucination.
