Chapter 280: Aether Gardens [2]

The plants or precisely, the 'rage seeds' Varian wanted were deep in the Wrath Garden

So, he had to walk for a few miles

With his speed, it should've been a cakewalk but—

"Argh!" With a roar, Varian looked around with red eyes

Broken walls, spilled blood and charred ground

This was the same location…his home on his last birthday

In front of him was the flame wolf…the creature, the demon that killed his mother

The air heated up from the flames it breathed out and touched his skin, the wolf raised its head and opened its fangs, revealing blood and bones with pieces of his mother's clothes

Even in the iron scent of blood, he could srance—the smell of the flowers in their front yard which she tended to

Varian's eyes slowly turned red as his vision turned blurry

The rational part of him was very clear that this was just an illusion…but the emotional side of him was adamant

He needed to kill the wolf at any cost!

"Graaah!" Varian clutched his head and bend down, his head was a coe

If he started attacking, he'd fall into the illusion Once that happened, he probably wouldn't wake up

"The wolf is dead" He told hie mixed with helplessness

Suddenly, he recalled so and his voice turned seren "Sia killed it"

His emotions slowly calmed down and his mental power quickly worked out and broke the illusion

Varian was once again back in the garden, a few feet away from a dark red plant

Retribution Plant

With purple-red flowers blossoht

Sweet Vengeance

This was the flower that caused the previous illusion And it was able to do so despite his progress

[Telepath Level 4: 900/1000]

Even the coh level 4 Telepath couldn't prevent its effect

"Though the reason I struggled so onize about wouldn't be so effected…" Varian paused in the end and shook his head

"Who the fuck wouldn't have anything to be angry about?"

Throwing his thought away, he walked to the Retribution Plant

With each step, his er increased like there was no tomorrow, but Varian kept his cool

The moment he bent down to pluck the flower, he saw Roxanna in the distance

Behind her was an unconscious Sia floating in a pod

"Haha! My experiment is a success! I just have to kill her!"

"Sia, you don't have anyone to help you, do you? What about the boy you greith? He doesn't even remember you Haha!"

Then she turned around and saw Varian

She sneered in conteuy who can't even protect her What about the promise you made to her?"

Then she patted her forehead and her lips curled into an evil and ot You can't even protect your mother I heard you froze in fear Is your body paralyzed frohter stopped and she looked at Varian in horror "No Come kill me Don't to that, don't—"

She collapsed into nothing as Varian violently pulled out the flower, unrooting the plant in the process

Closing his eyes, he ht It's NOT!"

He opened his eyes and raised his arht before he threw the punch, all the plants in his vicinity attacked him in self-defense

They tried to pull hiround, the sheer shockwaves would destroy their fragile bodies

That's why, he must not be allowed to use physical powers

Even the plants that were fighting aether and tried to stop hiround, but those few inches seeht year

He tried to punch down, but his body simply refused to listen to his command "fuck! I'll destroy you all!"

His fist stayed
