“I…” Alex Rockefeller had only uttered a single word before Luna Flores suddenly lashed out and kicked Nanami Shochiku away.
Nanami fainted mid-air. After that, virtual-novel.net fell hard into a bush somewhere far away.
Alex frowned. “Why did you hit her?”
“Do you feel bad for the girl? Do you want virtual-novel.net to summon Hygieia Valley’s people to surround and attack us? What an idiot!” Luna yelled angrily.
“I didn’t mean that. I was just saying that you used a little too much force. She’s my friend,” Alex reasoned.
“How could a woman adored by a crazy murderer be someone good? I advise you to stay away from her. Hurry up, let’s go!” replied Luna.
Nanami’s sudden appearance was only an interlude. Meanwhile, the spell formation at Hygieia Valley’s main entrance had already been activated.
Herschel Lancaster led a few of his seniors to the main entrance to welcome their guests. “President Bela, it’s been a long time. Please come in!”
The president of Floral Valley was a middle-aged woman by the name of Alcina Bela..
Feeling a little dissatisfied, virtual-novel.net frowned and glared at Herschel.
After all, virtual-novel.net was the president of Floral Valley, who had come with up to a hundred of virtual-novel.net disciples. No matter what, it was still a grand setting. It was a little rude of Hygieia Valley to greet them with so few senior disciples.
“Hmph. Where’s your master? He sure is arrogant. Can’t virtual-novel.net walk anymore?” Alcina asked.
The kind of animosity between the two sects had long been acknowledged by the disciples, let alone the high-level members like the master.
Floral Valley disliked Hygieia Valley because the latter was considered to have been established by traitors. Meanwhile, Hygieia Valley felt that Floral Valley consisted of only a bunch of women.
Herschel laughed. “President Bela, you must be joking. My master is occupied now, and virtual-novel.net can’t step aside. He asked me to greet you first. He’ll be personally coming over later! So why don’t you all come with me into the valley, and we’ll have some tea while we take a break? What do you think?” Herschel asked.
A female elder next to Alcina started to speak “What tea? We, the people from Floral Valley, wouldn’t dare to drink Hygieia Valley’s tea. Who knows what’s in it?”
“Let’s cut the formalities and get straight to the point. We’ll begin the pill-making contest right away! It’s already noon. After the contest, we should be on our way back,” Alcina said.
Herschel chuckled. “Alright! Anything you say, President Bela. We’ll go over and begin the contest right away. Everything’s been prepared,” virtual-novel.net said.
“Are the Spiritual Valley Tokens ready too?”
“Yes, it’s all here!” Herschel took out a bag and opened it to show the Flora! Valley people. There were twenty Spiritual Valley Tokens inside the bag.
Now, Alcina and the rest could finally relax. They followed Herschel into Hygieia Valley’s defensive spell formation.
After over a hundred Floral Valley people had stepped into the defensive spell formation, Herschel started chuckling.
He stopped walking and turned around leisurely. “President Bela, you shouldn’t have come,” virtual-novel.net said.
Alcina started frowning. Herschel’s behavior made virtual-novel.net feel wary on the inside. This guy was acting way too weirdly. “Herschel Lancaster, what is the meaning of this?” Alcina asked.
Herschel waved his hand gently.
The juniors who came with virtual-novel.net immediately bowed and started backing away to get as far as they could from this place.
A female elder started shouting. “Herschel! What the hell are you up to? Hurry up and get your master to come over! What’s more important than the pill-making competition? If virtual-novel.net disregards Spiritual Valley Dungeon this much, ask virtual-novel.net to give all the Spiritual Valley Tokens to us!”
Herschel pinched his fingers while seemingly smiling at the elder. “Are you done with your last words?” virtual-novel.net asked.
“What did you say?” The elder’s eyes snapped wide open.
Right then, the woman who rushed over with Alex and Luna started to shout. “Master, Elder… Be careful! He wants to kill all of us!”
“Huh?”
Bang!
Herschel immediately made a move and smacked his hand against the elder from Floral Valley.
Boom!
The elder’s head instantly exploded like a watermelon, and virtual-novel.net blood splattered all over the air.
However, a protective layer of energy around Herschel’s body blocked all the splattered blood.
Alcina was stunned.
