Chapter 385 Lured The Target Successfully

(This mana... this must be Father's...!)

Melville, who was in the body of Edith, sensed the presence of someone she knew, and she immediately teleported herself towards the location, which was situated beyond the walls of the capital. "Fath—?!" RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

But before that, I had to change my appearance and identity as well, since I did not want my enemies to know that I was against them. I also wanted to make sure my family would not be dragged off by this problem. Since almost no one was aware of the existence of Azrael, I disguised myself as him to cover my identity, copying his level, stats, skill set, proficiency, biological information, demeanor, etc. The lure was set, and it turned out that she took the bait, but what really surprised me was that it was Edith who appeared in front of me, or was she? From what I had observed, she seemed to be somewhat different from the Edith I know, though there were slight similarities, like her demeanor when Edith was with Prince Edward. If Edith came here, I could conclude that this person had taken control of her body. It probably explained why Edith seemed different when it came to the prince; not only did they force Edith, but they also physically manipulated her. Currently, I was in the heart of the Vagoth Forest, waiting for whoever possessed Edith to come over to my location. I decided to take our confrontation far from the city to minimize collateral damages.

For some reason, I could not look deep into her to analyze the identity of this person. She probably had an ability or something that intercepted my appraising skills, even with God's Eye. A few seconds after I landed on my spot, Edith appeared behind me. I turned around and faced her. If she could use instant transportation, then she must be a powerful individual. "I don't know how you pulled up this mockery, but you do not seem to be my sibling, and my father won't let any of his children be deprived of him either. Anyway, I'll just have to force you to admit." "A sibling? What are you talking about? There's no way I can be a sibling with you. Whoever you are, I'll make you leave that girl's body so that I can punish you personally." "Try it if you can." Upon her provocation, she lunged at me with insane speed. Her whole body then emitted blue lightning and thrust her hand at me, which I reflexively avoided by stepping aside. But before I could land, she quickly shifted her course and aimed her dazzling hand at me. In an instant, I conquered Azrael's weapon, which was a scythe with an Umbrium handle and a five-foot-long blade of Blood Steel, and successfully blocked her somewhat hardened hand. Clink!

After clashing my scythe with her, Edith stepped back. "You are fast; I'll give you that. But don't feel relieved, as I am yet to get serious." "Let's see what you get this time." Suddenly, I could feel a huge surge of energy building up in Edith's body. In a matter of seconds, that energy was released violently, and a powerful shockwave took down some trees nearby. I covered my eyes with my arms, but when I laid my eyes on her again, I could see that her appearance had somewhat changed.
