Chapter 110

“What is it?” Camille asked.

“Claire isn’t inside her room. She’s outside the city.” Leng Lingyun frowned, his expression dark because although Claire’s body seemed fine, in reality, it still hadn’t fully healed yet. There had been too much blood loss at the time.

“What? That brat left at such a late time? Where did she go?” Li Yuewen cursed out angrily. “That brat, does she understand the state of her body?”

“I’ll go find her.” Leng Lingyun left, flying out the window.

Li Yuewen and Li Mingyun froze. It was the first time they had seen Leng Lingyun fly. Was it the Wind element? No, Leng Lingyun only used Light magic. How was he able to fly?

“It’s an ancient technique. You Li siblings also hold an ancient name. You should have your own techniques too,” Walter said quietly, seeing Leng Lingyun’s open window. He had also appeared, unbeknownst to anyone. Leng Lingyun’s figure disappeared into the distance. Li Yuewen and Li Mingyu suddenly understood with Walter’s explanation.

(TL: arcanum -> technique)

“We should give chase and go see too.” Naturally, Li Yuewen was very worried for Claire. She immediately dashed into Leng Lingyun’s room and nimbly descended down out the window, landing on roofs as lithely as a swan as she followed Leng Lingyun in pursuit, her gaze following into the far distance.

Li Mingyu also lept out the window without another word, following in pursuit. Camille stroked his bangs. With a helpless sigh, he also lept out the window. That brat kept on making trouble for others.

Walter was rooted in place. He grumbled as he watched the few people disappear, a bit angry. They were rather quick to directly chase without another care. What about him? He could only follow with his two thin, weak legs. That evil little devil, not even letting them have a good night’s rest! But just when Walter was about to angrily go downstairs to follow, he suddenly remembered there were a few other people in the inn, so he knocked on Summer’s door. After a brief explanation, they dashed downstairs.

During this time, Claire was sitting in lotus position on the precipice, her body glowing a faint golden hue. Currently, Golden Lotus was slowly taking shape, gradually wrapping around Claire. Claire’s beautiful face was also covered by a faint layer of golden light, looking incomparably holy.  

The giant golden lotus petals gradually enclosed Claire tightly. Claire closed her eyes, entering an indescribably empty state of existence. A warm feeling flowed through her body, spreading through every limb and bone. It was incomparably comfortable.

Meanwhile, dense, dark clouds hung overhead, thunder rumbling threateningly. Jean gripped the sword at his waist, watching the precipice tensely. His heart was already very tight. Although he had already known that this would happen, facing this situation would still make one’s heart tremble. He was even more worried for Claire who would be facing the lightning.

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

“Rumble!”

Three incomparably large lightning bolts struck down in succession, no pauses in between. The pure white lightning lit up the surroundings, ripping apart the dusky night, looking like a malevolent face.

As Jean watched the three berserk lightning bolts strike in a daze, his heart almost stopped. The lightning had struck Claire’s golden lotus so furiously. Would Claire be okay? Would Claire be alright? Jean’s fist was already clenched tightly. He stared fixedly at the dazzling bright golden lotus, resisting his urge to charge over.
