Chapter 262: Malicious Plans (1/2)

Greenwood POV

-----

I have severed my ties with Lord Ice Moon for obvious motives. I have no interest in dealing with a barbarian anymore.

The Ice Dragon and the Ice Giant Girl, although a high priority for my research, has become a lesser problem now that greater trouble has arrived within these last days.

And it all revolves around this annoying Elf Princess.

Despite my countless plans to slaughter her from the face of the world she still manages to find a way out of this situation. It is simply mesmerizing to know that this woman is doing so much damage against my organization.

Especially after I once had her in the palm of my hands. It is indeed frustrating to know that such a subject of tremendous potential has become my mortal enemy…

Nonetheless, I have been trying to catch her in a play of mouse and cat for years, but she always manages to escape and ruin my plans. Her powers are not to be underestimated.

Being an otherworldly soul truly brings a lot of interesting capabilities.

Unique Skills… the world-defying powers that reincarnated people acquire.

Thanks to my unique devices, I am capable of tracking those that have them, although it becomes hard if I don't send several drones for their prompt capture.

The ice giant and the ice dragon, however… had suddenly disappeared from my radar. I knew that they were going around in the skies, but several months ago I lost them completely.

Did they die? Of course not, they found a way to completely negate my devices. It was not to be expected.

I suppose that those two are hiding more than I thought.

Hmph, but this is not about those young and insolent kids, but about a troublemaker.

She's really annoying. I want to capture her and use her as a mana battery already.

If I could get my hands into her power… I could do anything.

The power she has to drain mana from the world… I want it.

This is the key for my plans to finally succeed, to finally break the Dao Blockage.

Infinite mana… what a ridiculous power.

If it wasn't because Yggdrasil cursed her, she would have already become the strongest being in this world.

Or would had died as her mana core exploded.

Most likely the latter one.

In a way, the Yggdrasil Curse ended benefiting her. It seals her ability to cultivate, which makes mana spent through nourishing her mana core useless. It simply doesn't work.

Because she cannot use mana like this, she cannot fill her mana core with mana and therefore she won't blow it up after infusing it a bit.

It was already said that when she uses artifacts or other things, her mana doesn't work either, turning into a black sludge, or well, as we call it here, miasma, a form of highly radioactive corrupted mana.

But miasma is just what we want too. And she has somehow managed to make her feeble little body support miasma inside of it.

How strange and utterly fascinating. Miasma is mana in the most corrupted and chaotic state. It is a materialization of Chaos itself… the darkness that lies past the heavens and keeps us caged in this world.

She has already destroyed three of my facilities in the past 5 years, freeing several Unique Skill users and even defeating my amazing experiments, while suppressing my factories of technology, how detestable.

But that won't stop me. I know how you play, little princess.

And I have begun to already design the perfect trap to catch you.

She's currently within Jotunheim too, what a bizarre coincidence.
