Chapter 563: This Isnt Over! (2/2)

The corners of Leon's lips quickly rose before he said with a smile, ”So you are concerned about me after all.”

”I—” Duna froze for a moment before she coldly spat, ”Nonsense! I am just bored and wanted to exercise my corporeal body a little! Hmph, even if you are not going, I will still go without you!”

”Hmm… Is that so?” Leon's smile grew bigger, turning into a grin as he watched Duna changed her reason for tagging along while averting her eyes.

Duna snuck a few glances back at Leon, but she was suddenly caught as their eyes met, causing her to feel deeply embarrassed inside.

However, his cheeky grin quickly pissed her off.

”What are you looking at?! Hurry up and f*ck off already! Go kill some birds or something before I kill you myself!” Duna coldly snapped.

Leon immediately burst into laughter before shooting off.

He did not take her threats seriously and even wanted to add something. But he was afraid that if he said it, she might really attack him.

”Hmph!” Duna snorted after Leon left.

After a short moment, she also took flight from the Great Wall and followed behind, heading straight towards the Three-Legged Golden Crow and Blue Luan's enormous battlefield on the other end of the vast rift.

On the eastern side of the Elder Tree, Duke Ignis saw the gathering of humans and elves preparing to depart from the region.

After spotting Queen Elizabeth directing people at the helm of the crowd, he descended towards her location before quickly asking, ”Your Majesty, I heard you were looking for me?”

”Ignis? You're alive! That's great!” Elizabeth exclaimed with joy. She could not imagine how devastated Amelia will be if she learned of his death.

Shortly after, Elizabeth quickly added, ”I had some vague hopes when I saw the elven warriors carried back a few blacksmiths. Still, no one could even get close when the Paragons were still fighting down there. How on earth did you even survive?”

”Hm?” Duke Ignis frowned after noticing some discrepancy in his information.

How could Elizabeth be looking for him if she did not even know he was alive? Would she be looking for his corpse instead?

Duke Ignis quickly realized that he had been fooled into leaving by Leon before he silently cussed, 'That brat! This isn't over! Hmph!'

Shortly after, Duke Ignis began to recount his vague memories to Elizabeth.

Meanwhile, on the southern side of the Elder Tree, a new thundercloud could be seen rapidly growing in the sky.

However, no one was alarmed by its appearance. Everyone saw when it first expanded from within Aria's body.

After it fully formed in the sky, the weather quickly dropped before hail descended for only a short period as humans and elves began collecting the ice blocks, stocking up on their water supply for the long trip.
