"Giant's bloodline?"
Number 03 nodded. "Number 01's body has enlarged more than once. That's why I guessed that he might have the blood of giants in him a long time ago. However, I never had the chance to confirm it until something happened two years ago."
"Back then, there was a huge incident in the southern wizarding region called the Silver Palm Incident."
At this point, Filo and Nis were both taken aback. They had heard of the Silver Palm Island before. Apparently, it was related to a mysterious object.
As for Angor … he was one of the main characters of the incident, and he was the only one whose identity was not exposed yet. It was said that the people from Song of the Deep and Summerdew Ridge were still looking for the 'mastermind' who was hiding in the small space.
Of course, Angor would never admit that he was the culprit. After all, he didn't take the so-called Mystery item.
"From what you're saying, Number 01 is also involved in the matter of Silver Palm Island? Could it be that the mysterious item that had been missing all this time has actually fallen into your hands? "Ness's eyes flashed with an indescribable light.
Number 03 shook his head. "We never planned to join the southern wizarding region. The Silver Palm Incident happened not too far away from us, but we never got involved. However, not long after the Silver Palm incident, our people happened to find traces of the Leviathan during an operation. "
The Leviathan was the giant sea monster that once occupied Silver Palm Island. After the incident, the Leviathan disappeared from the public's sight.
People believed that the "missing" Mystery item might have fallen into the hands of the Leviathan. Everyone, including Angor, had the same thought.
However, no one managed to find the Leviathan, so the rumor was put on hold. Angor didn't expect to hear about the Leviathan again from a foreign wizard named Number 03.
"At that time, the Leviathan was severely injured, and the rumors were spreading like wildfire. Everyone was guessing that the Leviathan still had the Mythical item with him. Therefore, Number 01 decided to attack it.
"All three wizards from the base joined the battle, including me. But in the end, all of them failed. " No. 03 smiled bitterly. "Even if the Leviathan is injured, it's not something we can defeat. My and No.02's attacks couldn't even break through its defense. "
"01 had to use his bloodline to barely leave a scratch on the Leviathan's scales, but he still couldn't defeat it. The three of us together couldn't defeat the Leviathan, so we had no choice but to retreat."
Although the final result was regrettable, No.03 also witnessed No.01's strength in that encirclement battle. At the same time, he confirmed that No.01 indeed had the bloodline of giants.
"What we can confirm is that No. 01 has part of the Crow Giant's bloodline. The Crow Giants were of the ocean bloodline. After activating his bloodline, 01's ability to control water wasn't much weaker than mine. And No. 01 definitely has more than just the blood of the Crow Giant. With the combination of the transplanted organs, he's very powerful. "
After No.03 described No.01's general combat power, Ness asked, "Is there any other information?"
No.03 thought for a moment and said, "Apart from that, there's something else I know about No. 01."
"He's different from the others in the base. We were sent to the southern region by the headquarters, but No. 01 was the one who requested to come here."
"As for the layout of the base in the southern region, it was No. 01 who made the decision.
Including the construction of the base, the construction of the laboratory, the timing of the sacrificial ceremony … No. 01 was the one who made all the decisions. "
"Even when we leave the southern region, it was No. 01 who made the decision."
Ness: "I remember that when you were apologizing and compensating me, you said that you would soon leave the southern region. So that's No. 01's intention as well? "
No.03 nodded. "Yes. I don't know why, but No. 01 has been very anxious lately. According to the original plan, we were supposed to stay in the southern region for a while longer, but No. 01 said he couldn't wait any longer. "
"Since No. 01 is so eager to leave, does that mean he's going to accomplish your ultimate goal in the southern region?"
No.03 didn't say anything about Ness's speculation. But it was also a tacit admission.
"Let's not talk about your ultimate goal for now," Angor said. "Didn't No. 00 participate in the Leviathan incident you mentioned?" Sunders nodded. "Yes, Sunders.
As far as he knew, Number 00 must be stronger than the others. If Number 00 showed up, the injured Leviathan might not be able to handle it.
No.03 looked at Angor with a strange expression. She opened her mouth several times to say something, but each time, she kept her mouth shut.
In the end, No.03 said, "I can't talk about No. 00's business because of his oath. But I can tell you that No. 00 didn't join the attack on the Leviathan. "
Angor nodded. He looked calm on the surface, but in his mind, he was analyzing No.03's words. According to Froste and Cuolo's diary, even a legendary wizard would find it difficult to stay calm when facing an ownerless Mystery item. Besides, the Observer of Starliege Temple clearly described it as a "strategic" Mystery item.
There was no way No. 00 wouldn't want such a Mystery item.
But looking at the details, No.03 wasn't lying either. No.00 really didn't participate in the siege of the Leviathan. Why was that?
Was it because No. 00 knew that the Mystery item wasn't with the Leviathan?
Or … was there some kind of restriction on No. 00? Or was it preventing him from taking action?
Angor couldn't be too careful when it came to the mysterious No.00. But No.03 couldn't tell him anything right now, so Angor had no choice but to hold back his thoughts for now.
Instead, he changed the topic. "Let's talk about the" nest "."
Angor didn't know what "nest" was. But when he mentioned it during the fight between Filo and No.03, No.03 immediately showed a suspicious expression, which quickly turned into a murderous look. It was obvious that this "nest" was related to important information.
And it was true. When No.03 answered Angor's questions and revealed the information about No. 01, she didn't seem worried at all.
But when the "nest" was mentioned, No.03's expression suddenly changed. Her face turned pale and hesitant. It was obvious that the "nest" was the key to everything.
Seeing No.03's long silence, Angor pretended to ask, "The nest … is your final goal?"
No.03's throat twitched as if she was trying to swallow.
After a long period of silence, No.03 finally found his voice and said softly, "It is indeed one of our final targets. The nest … the nest is …"
Just as everyone pricked up their ears to listen to what Number 03 had to say, a rumbling sound that sounded like a sudden clap of thunder came from afar.
Even the people in the illusion could hear the roar right away.
Ness looked up and asked, "That's where it came from. What's going on?"
Filo also turned to look in the direction of the voice. However, he couldn't see anything because of the illusions. However, after confirming the direction, Filo seemed to have thought of something. He turned to Number 03 and asked, "Did something happen to the nest?"
No.03 was also in a daze. She only regained her senses when Filo asked her.
She didn't answer Filo's question. Instead, she lowered her head and made a "it has nothing to do with me" expression. But in the darkness, No.03's eyes were flickering as if she was trying to make a decision.
Another thunderous rumble was heard. At the same time, along with the rumbling sound, there was also an extremely violent wave of air.
The shockwave didn't look like energy, nor was it destructive. However, it was similar to the pressure of a law. It ignored all defenses and directly broke through Angor's illusion.
At this moment, the illusory realm created by No. 03's "Water Mark Space" suddenly turned into bubbles.
The golden pool was gone, the crystal area was gone, and the sofas and chairs were all turned into shadows.
The illusion was gone, and everyone found themselves in the mist.
Due to the sudden disappearance of the illusion, as well as the pressure of the law still lingering in the air, no one was able to react in time. Even Angor, the creator of the illusion, was still in a daze.
About three seconds later, the shockwave began to weaken, allowing everyone to regain their senses.
The first thing he did was to look at the place where Number 03 was.
No.03 also regained her senses. Without the illusion, her eyes glowed brightly as water ripples began to appear around her.
She was going to enter the real "Watery Space" this time.
Before this, No.03 didn't dare to act recklessly due to Sunders' suppression. But now, due to an accident that caused the illusion to dissipate, Number 03 naturally chose to leave.
She believed that she would only be safe once she entered the "Watery Space".
"Don't even think about running!" Ness and Filo also saw what 03 was doing. They didn't hesitate to attack him at the same time.
Ness summoned a giant skeletal hand from the ground and swatted it at No.03.
Filo crushed three fireballs, which turned into three burning arrows and shot them at No.03.
Even Angor, who was hiding in the dark, was manipulating the illusion nodes in his space so that he could use the illusion to control Number 03 again.
However, at this moment, the rumbling sound once again carried with it a wave of energy that carried the pressure of the laws, and it rushed into the fog.
In the face of such an unreasonable pressure, all the attacks stopped at this moment.
The skeletal hand froze in the air, the Blazing Arrows missed their targets, and Angor's illusion failed halfway through.
Their attacks didn't work, but the shockwave didn't differentiate between friend and foe. The water ripples around No.03 were also destroyed by the shockwave.
Because the airwave was still spreading in the surroundings, everyone froze for a short period of time.
But No.03 could sense that everyone was paying attention to her. Once the shockwave was removed, she would become a target for everyone.
To protect herself, No.03 knew that she had to run away before anyone attacked her.
"My compensation is still valid," No.03 suddenly spoke up. Number 03 suddenly said, "My Water Ripple Space has a movement restriction. After I enter the Water Ripple Space, I can only move within a hundred meters. Even if you let me in, I can't leave this place.
When No.01 and No.02 come back, I'll give them the compensation. "
"You think we'll believe you?" Ness sneered.
"Without Word of Truth, who knows if you're telling the truth?" Filo chimed in.
Even if they could use Word of Truth, they had to wait until the shockwave was removed. Then, they might as well use other methods to restrict No.03's movement.
"I can swear on my truth-telling barrier that I'm telling the truth," No.03 tried to show her sincerity.
However, empty words couldn't move people.
"If you stay still and don't try to struggle, we'll believe you. But if you move, don't blame us for what happens next."
Due to the shockwave, the two parties who were able to maintain a relatively stable state were disrupted.
Now that No.03 had "freedom", she didn't want to be trapped again.
No one spoke again. The air became strangely quiet.
While hiding in the mist, Angor used Sunders' voice to threaten Zero 03 again. "You think you can just hide in the ripples and you'll be safe?"
No.03 pursed her lips when she heard Sunders' voice.
"Even if you think I can't break the ripples, do you think these shockwaves can tolerate your presence?"
No.03 suddenly realized something.
That's right. That strange airwave destroyed Sunders' illusions just like that.
Could her water ripples really break through the shockwaves?
She didn't know what the shockwaves were, but the overwhelming pressure of the law inside made her feel like she was facing the world's consciousness.
How could such a magnificent power that repelled everything allow the water ripples to exist peacefully?
With this in mind, No.03's expression turned gloomy.
The explosions were still going on, and no one knew what was going on. If she couldn't deal with the shockwaves, she had no choice but to surrender.
The other option was to return to the lab.
However, the lab was invaded not long ago, and No.01 was planning to leave soon. The security of the lab was at its highest. Even if No.03 wanted to enter the laboratory, he had to go through the door that was filled with magic arrays. Opening the door and going through multiple checks would take at least five seconds. Even Ness and Filo could easily kill her in such a short time, let alone Sunders.
She couldn't go back to the lab either.
As No.03's heart sank, the shockwaves around her finally began to dissipate.
As soon as the shockwaves disappeared, No.03 sensed the mana ripples coming from not far away.
She gritted her teeth and stopped using her water ripples. Instead, she turned into a stream of white water and dashed toward the burning area not far away.
This area was created by Filo not long ago.
A fire spell.
