Chapter 167 Forgive Me

Chapter 167 Forgive Me

In the heart of a verdant forest where tall coniferous trees stood tall as silent guardians, a magnificent waterfall cascaded from the top of a rocky cliff and into a small pond.

Magical beasts, big and small, gathered around this tranquil pond. This pond, after all, could be considered the lifeline of all those who dwelled in this lush forest.

The scene of the waterfall, the tall trees, as well as different kinds of magical beasts around the pond came together and weaved a beautiful scenery that could leave one feeling mesmerized.

The smell of the damp earth as well as the chirping of birds further added to the beauty of this mystical place.

A white deer suddenly appeared from the depths of the forest and elegantly walked toward the edge of the pond. It lowered its head and started to drink the water from it.

This doe stood at a height of 1.5 meters and had a pair of antlers on her head. However, unlike normal deer, her antlers seemed to be made of thick tree branches and even had green leaves and blue flowers growing on them.

These creatures belonged to the dire species of the deer family known as the Megalodeer. They were magical creatures with a very high affinity for wood magic.

For a creature such as this Megalodeer to even exist in this secret plane was a great surprise. After all, this species was rare even in the outside world.

In the distance, atop one of the topmost branches of a coniferous tree, a teenager with long blonde hair tied into a ponytail, and emerald eyes that seemed to be glowing with shock and wonder, gazed at the Megalodeer peacefully drinking water from the pond.

This person was none other than Lisa.

I can't believe I'm seeing this! Disbelief was etched all over her beautiful face as her eyes were glued to the white doe.

It had been a couple of months since she entered the Soaring River Secret Plane. Since then she had fought magical beasts and Magi alike to get to where she was, leaving behind a trail of blood, sweat, and tears.

Although she had come across a few fortuitous encounters, none of them could compare to the one in front of her eyes. Folloow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

The blood, heart, and core of a Megalodeer not only contained purification and strengthening properties, but it could also boost a Magus' affinity for wood magic.

Right at that moment, a bright, green magic circle lit up under the magical beast. Following that, a dozen thorny wines sprouted from underneath the doe, aiming to bind her in place.

However, the doe was extremely agile. Sensing the imminent danger, she swiftly jumped backward, just narrowly avoiding the vines.

But little did she know, the magical vines were also a feint. The moment the doe's hooves landed on the ground, they immediately sunk under.

Rank 1 Spell: Shape Earth!

The ground turned muddy, causing the doe to sink deeper and deeper. When the doe was buried up to her knees, the ground suddenly solidified, instantly trapping the beast.

Fear and panic flashed across the white doe's aquamarine eyes. Suddenly, she heard hurried footsteps coming from behind her. When she turned her head to look back, she saw a young human approaching her.

The doe bellowed in anger and hatred, for she knew that her end was near. So as a last-ditch attempt, she screamed as loud as she could, hoping to catch her partner's attention.

Lisa quickly climbed on top of the helpless Megalodeer and stabbed a curved dagger straight through the latter's head, instantly killing her.

As the light in the doe's eyes slowly dimmed, Lisa muttered softly, "Forgive me."

After the doe had died, she placed a hand on the corpse and the next moment it vanished, teleporting straight inside her storage ring.

Just a second after the corpse of the doe vanished, the ground started to tremble and a deep, anger-filled roar was heard from the depths of the forest.

Lisa didn't need to think twice before confirming who this voice belonged to. Without waiting a moment longer, she dashed in the opposite direction of the sound.

Nervousness flashed in her eyes as she hastily ran into the forest.
