On the viewing platform, Lillian listened to Grimm's words and remained unmoved. Her silence was like encouragement in the eyes of the young man.
As a pureblood aristocrat, Grimm had been educated since he was a child that the purity of the bloodline was nobility. The royal family was the best in this regard, especially the gifted Her Royal Highness. Under the three halos of appearance, intelligence, and bloodline, she could be said to be the only goddess in the hearts of Grimm's generation.
However, even though Princess Lilian was good, she had a flaw. She was too cold, as if she did not care about anything. Even when Grimm obtained another Rose Ring for the Austin Empire last year, it did not cause her to feel too much of a stir.
However, such an icy beauty had paid special attention to two freshmen this year. One was Paul Acheman, and the other was Luo Ya, Akkat, who was in the middle of a battle.
Although Grimm hated Paul's situation, he could understand it. After all, he had the bloodline of Acheman. Even if he was not a pureblood, he should be taken care of. However, Grimm could not tolerate Luo Ya's situation.
How could an indigenous barbarian of the St. Maester Theocracy make Her Royal Highness look at him differently?
"He's just a freshman with an ancient curse vessel. There's nothing special about him. I heard about Carlo and the others. This freshman didn't do it himself, right?"
Grimm looked at Luo Ya with a glass of wine and couldn't help but smile when he looked at his empty hands.
"It's a pity that this kind of curse vessel that can attack autonomously is prohibited in the Secret Mirror. Without that trump card, he will become a mortal again."
In the eyes of the first-year students, Luo Ya was the one upholding justice. In the eyes of the second-year students, Grimm was the one who stood up for his seniors. The inherent superiority of the Austin Empire made him full of prejudice. However, all of this was so naive in Lillian's eyes, even a little ridiculous.
As a member of the Austin Empire's royal family, Lillian's identity made it necessary for her to acknowledge the pureblood theory. But deep down, she was actually skeptical of this theory of unknown origin. As for why she treated Luo Ya differently, it was actually based on the suppression of the curse power back then.
As a matter of fact, Lilian wanted to give Luo Ya, who was approaching Paul, a warning. Lilian's coercion wasn't something that could be brushed off with a smile. With the difference in level, even Green would be crushed by her. But what she didn't expect was that Luo Ya actually stood her ground calmly. During that short period of coercion, Lilian also discovered something unusual.
Although it was only for an instant, Lillian felt as though something in the young man's body was watching her. It was an existence that even she had to pay attention to, which was why she was so wary of Luo Ya.
"Arrogance and prejudice can make people careless."
Lillian reminded Grimm in response to his evaluation. Her purple eyes stared at the youth's position in the distant image, before she added after a moment.
"Furthermore, he probably already knew about the strangeness of those trees."
How ferocious were wolves? In fact, Luo Ya didn't know much about them in her previous life. Or rather, most wild animals were unfamiliar to humans living in modern cities. Knowing their appearances and races was almost the limit of popular science knowledge.
Luo Ya truly understood these animals in Xi Ya. To be more specific, it was during the period of acting overlord. The reason was simple. The areas with wolf pack activities needed to be specially marked and avoided as much as possible during construction.
Demonic wolves were the nightmares of overlords, far more troublesome than bandits. In fact, Luo Ya would rather have a Level 4 Source-Class monster in her territory than a Level 6 Source-Class Demonic Wolf pack.
A Level 4 Source-Class monster could be dealt with in less than a month with a Level 4 Source-Class elite team. But if these people were to deal with the wolves, Luo Ya only hoped that they would return in one piece instead of disappearing altogether.
However, it was a pity that Luo Ya had fought with these things as a overlord, but most of the other students' understanding was a little lacking.
At this time, in the forest surrounded by giant trees, the chaotic battle had already lasted for more than ten minutes. The number of students had been greatly reduced.
"Let go! Damn it! Let … Ah! "
Another student was bitten by a Demonic Wolf that had died in battle and died in the mouth of the wolf. Before he died, the youth's body disappeared like mist, leaving behind only the guiding spirits to absorb the curse power that flowed out of the dead Demonic Beasts.
These little things only absorbed the Demonic Beasts killed by their masters. The more they absorbed, the brighter the light became. At this time, the number of wolves and humans on the battlefield had been greatly reduced. Most of the Demonic Beasts that were still fighting grew from fireflies to lights. A few of them even turned into light bulbs. However, the guiding spirits beside the black-haired youth did not change at all.
After another Demonic Wolf that had taken the initiative to rush over was smashed into meat paste with a bone claw, Luo Ya, who had been defending and counterattacking, raised his head and silently scanned the surroundings. However, unlike the others who were observing the ground, the black-haired youth was looking at the sky. His golden pupils stared at the towering trees in the vicinity, feeling the gradually increasing concentration of magic in the air. He muttered to himself.
"It should be about time."
As soon as the youth's voice fell, the forest suddenly began to inexplicably shake. Before the humans and the Demonic Beasts that were in the midst of fighting could react, a sudden change suddenly befell everyone's head.
"Roar — —!"
In the midst of the hoarse and unpleasant strange roar, the sky and earth shook, and the horn of massacre was blown. Violent fluctuations of curse power suddenly came from the trees that the students were leaning against. Giant malicious faces appeared on the trees, and then the branches of the giant trees condensed.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten gigantic trees fell from the sky and hammered the ground. After a long period of observation, the brightest elves in the field had already been locked onto by these terrifying Treants. And under this thunderous attack, the group of students who performed the best was instantly smashed into pieces, tragically annihilated.
In the midst of the screams and the sound of flesh and blood exploding, the Treants' mouth curled up strangely, as if they were laughing at the stupidity of the humans. However, what they did not see was that in the corner that they ignored, the black-haired youth's mouth also curled up.
Amidst the soundless laughter, the lightning and fire formed by the power of the curse swirled around his body and finally turned into a crimson red light. An ancient giant shadow appeared in the exploding fog, and at the same time, the meteorite-like fist appeared.
"Boom — —!"
In the midst of the explosion of the trees, Luo Ya's silent guiding spirit light began to rapidly expand, and under the light, the black-haired youth looked up at the dull Treants and revealed a smile.
"Stop pretending, I'll lay my cards on the table."
