Chapter 274

Tierre didn't lose consciousness for too long.

At least, when she woke up, the crowd hadn't left the area yet. She was still lying in Shien's arms, receiving everyone's concern.

"Are … Are you alright? Tierre! "

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If you have something to say, say it! "

Lucia and Merica were the first to notice that Tierre had woken up. Their eyes lit up, and they rushed to Tierre's side and started chattering.

Tierre didn't realize what was going on. She just looked at Lucia and Merica, who surrounded her with concern, and Vivian, who was smiling happily at the periphery. Then, she finally noticed Shien, who was looking down at her.

"Did you sleep well?" Shien hugged Tierre and said with a teasing smile, "Don't worry, I'll continue to lend you my hug. You can continue to sleep."

Hearing this, Tierre finally woke up more or less.

"I …"

Tierre wanted to say something, but she found that she couldn't say a word.

When using the power of the 'horn', Tierre, who was in a berserk state, was unconscious, so she naturally didn't remember what she did in the state.

However, Tierre still remembered that she was forced into a desperate situation by Jeremiah, and at the last moment, she decided to risk everything to awaken the taboo power in her body.

Looking at the messy and tattered ground as if it had been hit by artillery fire, as well as the shattered rocks and stone walls, how could Tierre not know what had happened?

"… Did you stop me?"

Tierre was silent for a while, and then she spoke to Shien in a rather complicated tone.

"You should thank me properly." Shien didn't deny it. He just shrugged and said, "By the way, it wasn't just me. There was another person who fought with you. You should thank him for showing mercy."

This sentence made Tierre subconsciously turn her head and look at the empty space beside her.

There, Ai Yi was hugging a pillow and looking at Tierre.

Tierre immediately noticed the change in Ai Yi.

To be precise, Ai Yi's attitude towards her had changed.

Previously, although Ai Yi had been interacting with them normally, Tierre naturally discovered that Ai Yi wasn't interested in them at all. Sometimes, her eyes were even unfocused when she looked at them, as if they weren't in her sights at all.

But this time, Ai Yi's eyes were truly imprinted with Tiyerre's figure. She also placed her figure in her field of vision.

Thus, Ai Yi spoke to Tierre calmly.

"Don't look at me, I didn't mean to help you. I just wanted to test your strength, so you don't have to thank me."

Ai Yi said.

But it was this sentence that made Tierre understand many things.

After all, Tierre knew very well how terrifying she would become after going berserk.

Even though Tierre didn't have self-awareness during her berserk state, every time she woke up and saw the surroundings and the attitude of others, she would clearly understand how terrifying of a monster she had become.

Even her grandfather, who was once regarded as invincible, was severely injured by her when she was young. In the end, he passed away a few years later with serious injuries. This fact was enough to prove how powerful she had become after going berserk.

Putting aside Shien, Ai Yi was actually able to block her attack and seemed to be completely unscathed. Not even a speck of dust could be seen on her clothes. This attitude told Tierre exactly how powerful she was.

Perhaps Shien wasn't lying when he said that Ai Yi showed mercy to her.

Tierre didn't say anything in response.

She wasn't Vivian.

Since Ai Yi said that she didn't need her help, Tierre wouldn't do anything else.

However, looking at the members of Vivian's team who seemed to be safe and sound, and then looking at Sean and Ai Yi, Tierre finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Because this meant that he did not bring about too many consequences, and he did not make any serious mistakes.

Shien's timely arrival not only saved the members of Vivian's team from disaster, but also saved her.

Thinking of this, Tierre looked at Shien again. She still didn't say or do anything. Only her eyes seemed to speak, bright and deep.

Sean, who was looking at Tierre teasingly, hoping to make her relax a little, became a little unnatural when he was stared at by Tierre like that.

(… Why are they all like this?)

Shien was secretly distressed.

The way Merica looked at him was so hot, so full of attachment.

As for Tierre, although she was not as explicit and obvious as Merica, the emotions revealed by her pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak made Sean feel even more itchy all over his body.

Shien stopped teasing her and hurriedly said, "Since everyone is fine, let's go.

"Since everyone is fine, let's go. I'll send you back to the capital first."

Hearing Shien's words, everyone nodded.

They naturally wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Only by returning to the royal capital would they be completely out of danger.

Moreover, everyone was indeed exhausted and felt like they couldn't hold on any longer.

After fleeing for three days and three nights, even though their external injuries had been healed by Shien's magic, the mental exhaustion and lack of mana were still there.

Thus, everyone wanted to quickly return to the royal capital, return to the Lazahad residence, and have a good rest.

Only Merica spoke hesitantly.

"Is this okay?" Melica said with some worry and uncertainty, "Something seems to have happened here. Something is very wrong. If we just leave like this, will there be any problems?"

It seemed that Merica was still very concerned about the ritual in the canyon.

Even though she didn't know what exactly happened, she still felt worried when she sensed the unnatural mana in the canyon.

This caused Ai Yi to glance at Merica.

"Her senses are quite sharp. It seems that this girl also has some potential in mana."

That was what Ai Yi thought.

In addition, Vivian herself was very special. This team of adventurers that didn't seem very powerful unexpectedly gathered a group of geniuses that could not be underestimated.

The only exception was …

Ai Yi discreetly glanced at the timid Lumia beside her, but soon lost interest and looked away.

Among everyone present, only this Beastman girl was the most mediocre and ordinary. This was something that Ai Yi had already experienced.

Unfortunately, she didn't seem to be aware of it and just stood timidly at the side.

Shien didn't want Vivian's team to get involved in this matter, so he said so.

"The matter here can be settled later. You should return to the royal capital first."

Anyway, Jacinta had already found the traces of the young demon, and the ritual would probably be broken soon. What was left were just some clowns, so it was fine to take care of them slowly.

Ai Yi seemed to think so too, and she didn't object to this.

The girls looked at each other and finally nodded in agreement.

Just like that, the group began to move toward the periphery of the canyon, preparing to leave this place.

They had no idea that some distance away from them, a huge shadow was flying in this direction.
