Now, Reiger is splitting the effect of [Diya Flatel], only activating its energy recovery function, while the other functionalities have not been triggered.
He even deliberately controlled the recovery efficiency, choosing not to restore all of Scythe Girl’s energy at once, but just a small portion to get her out of her exhausted state.
Then, Reiger withdrew the Magic, causing the pure white Array to disappear from under Scythe Girl.
Only then did the struggling actions of Scythe Girl on the ground cease, no longer letting out pained sounds, yet she remained motionless, as if dead.
However, her true state couldn’t fool Reiger, not to ntion trying to get past the healing master, Beluti.
Thus, Reiger spoke expressionlessly.
"Since you haven’t lost consciousness, don’t pretend to be dead."
Upon hearing this, Scythe Girl still didn’t move.
Seeing this, Reiger raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, releasing a surge of Curse power.
"Boom!"
An invisible slash slamd down at Scythe Girl’s location, shattering the ground there.
Instantly, dust rose and rocks burst, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The slash’s power was enough to open a living person’s abdon and release their innards.
If it had hit Scythe Girl, she would have ended up very dead.
Fortunately, a mont before the slash fell, the unmoving Scythe Girl suddenly dodged to the side, rolling clumsily on the ground several tis to avoid the attack.
Reiger silently raised his hand again, preparing for a second strike.
"No!"
Scythe Girl finally gave up pretending to be dead, pale-faced with a hoarse plea.
"I’m not pretending! I’m not pretending!"
Amid her cries, a gust of wind still swept over her head, sending an invisible slash flying by.
"Boom!"
A pile of stones behind Scythe Girl was instantly split and exploded on the spot.
Scythe Girl’s face grew even paler, eyes filled with terror.
Only then did Reiger lower his hand.
"Rember, this is the last ti."
The indifferent warning sent chills through Scythe Girl’s heart.
"No, there won’t be a next ti, there won’t..."
She trembled all over, appearing weak and pathetic, utterly helpless, with none of the previous domineering cruelty.
Seeing Scythe Girl like this, a flash of sympathy crossed Beluti’s eyes, though only for an instant.
True, Scythe Girl now looked quite pitiful, but Beluti never forgot that this pitiable woman was an abyss follower.
No matter how kind she was, Beluti would never let her compassion spill over to sympathize with an abyss follower.
Abyss followers betrayed the Source, humanity, the race of life, being willing to sell out the world that nurtured them just to collude with the abyss’s rotting gangrene.
As a priestess of the Holy Sword Church, the saint recognized by the world, if the counterpart were a thief, a robber, or a criminal, Beluti might want to understand them out of goodwill, but she would never sympathize with those dangerous to the global community.
Hence, even though the counterpart looked pitiful, Beluti chose to stay silent.
And if even Beluti acted this way, Reiger, who wasn’t really a pure kind-hearted person, wouldn’t develop sympathy just because the counterpart was beautiful.
"What’s your na?"
Reiger made this inquiry.
"...Renani Kinfelis."
Scythe Girl—Renani hesitated for a while before softly reporting her na.
This was information not many knew, even within the Dark Relief Center.
In a force like the Dark Relief Center, followers of the abyss, even people within the sa group weren’t necessarily trustworthy.
On the contrary, among those who betrayed their kin and the Source, everyone but oneself was neither allies nor comrades, but rivals, enemies, maybe even... prey.
What abyss followers love most is blood-sacrificing life from the Source World to the abyss as offerings, to gain power.
Being in a group of such people, if one isn’t wary of those around them, being sacrificed as a blood offering is unsurprising.
Especially for soone like Renani, with outstanding looks, when faced with a group of cruel abyss followers with no ethical restraint, it’s not surprising when she becos an object of lust, or a tool for relief.
In such circumstances, Renani remained wary of everyone around her, including her family.
As a result, Renani never willingly leaked her information, even a simple na.
The abyss’s ans are bizarre, and its power extrely strange. Facing abyss followers with such power, one can’t afford the slightest negligence, and even a simple na could beco the dium for cursing oneself.
Hence, within the Dark Relief Center, the only ones who knew Renani’s real na were her family and a few outsiders, everyone else had no idea. Even those in the dark used her nickna.
Renani considered giving Reiger a fake na, but under Reiger’s indifferent gaze, she lost the courage.
It’s likely that even people from the Dark Relief Center don’t know, Renani, usually heavy-handed, becos timid in the face of real danger?
In the end, this woman was spoiled and now reverted to her true form.
Reiger, however, didn’t care about these things.
"I have a question."
Suddenly, a Mana Treasure Bead appeared in Reiger’s hand, which he started handling.
While playing with it, he asked aloud.
"Where did you get so many Night Spirits in the Dark Relief Center, and how did you rge them, secretly bringing them here right under the noses of everyone guarding the Nanierga Front?"
Thinking about that black sea, Reiger felt rather puzzled. Where did so many Night Spirits co from, described as rare magical beasts by Beluti? How could they appear without detection and launch attacks on ?
Beluti was also watching Renani, listening intently.
Night Spirits are cruel, evil creatures that indiscriminately attack any living things within view. Their power isn’t weak, with semi-immortal traits, posing an extrely high threat; even a single one can cause a disaster, let alone so many appearing at once.
Beluti worried whether the ergence of so many Night Spirits might have dreadful consequences on the Source.
As for Reiger, he wasn’t thinking much, feeling just purely curious and puzzled.
"Answer my question." Reiger saw Renani hesitating, calmly saying, "If you really don’t want to die."
Renani’s lips quivered slightly, ultimately responding dejectedly under Reiger’s indifferent gaze.
"Those Night Spirits weren’t born here; they were born over there."
Renani indicated the direction of the Nanierga Giant Wall.
"Over there?" Beluti caught Renani’s implication, shocked, "You’re saying those Night Spirits were born on the Black Land’s side?"
Black Land, that is "their empire’s" forr territory, the area besieged by Nanierga, invaded by the abyss.
"That’s right." Renani originally didn’t want to respond to Beluti, but ultimately considered Reiger, unwillingly saying, "Only that land can fulfill the conditions for the mass birth of Night Spirits."
That’s how it is.
