Chapter 1071 - What Exactly was Going on? (2/2)
“Hmm?”
As soon as Canary saw the Void Dragon, she knitted her brows dubiously. She realized that something was amiss as the actions of this Void Dragon was rather different from what she recalled. In the past, Rhode always seemed imperious whenever he landed on the surface in his dragon form. It could also be said that he was like the final, world-destroying BOSS who appeared at the end of the game like the Neltharion… Meanwhile, Rhode also indulged in it as Starlight was considered by many opposing players as the ‘evil force’ that must be taken down as they were too powerful beyond words. As the guild leader, Rhode was undoubtedly the ‘final BOSS’ and in this world, he actually got the chance to become one. This was why he had more or less imitated the actions of the final BOSS and as one of his most intimate people, Canary knew he had this interest.
But this time, she discovered that the behavior of this Void Dragon seemed rather different. Its descent wasn’t as imperious as before and on the contrary, its movements were so gentle and nonchalant. It had an indescribable, imposing presence as though it were looking over the world. Even though it landed gradually on the surface, it gave Canary a misconception that it was looking at this world with the most peaceful and gentle gaze!
What’s going on? Is Rhode…
But before Canary figured out what happened, the Void Dragon had landed on the platform and folded its wings. Along with its movements, the massive body gradually shrunk and shortly after, it disappeared in an illusory mist and someone walked out of it.
“…”
Everyone was taken aback when they witnessed the person.
It was a young lady.
Even though her face looked exactly the same as Rhode’s, her curvaceous figure told them that it clearly wasn’t a man standing before them. This young lady seemed slightly younger than Rhode and Canary, but much older than Christie. Her growing body exuded a youthful vitality. She wore a pitch-black, elegant long dress and her silky, long hair extended to the side of her feet. The young lady presented a gentle smile. Her pale complexion was as though she was suffering from a serious illness. Despite that, the massive aura hidden inside her slender body was so powerful and distinct that even Rhode couldn’t match up with her.
“Who is… this?”
Mini Bubble Gum gazed blankly at the young lady, scratching her head in puzzlement and turning to Canary. On the other hand, Canary’s gaze became rather complicated. She bit her lip and her expression was caught between hesitation and agitation. But despite that, she said nothing and only stood by the side, observing the young lady in silence. Compared to the confused Canary and Mini Bubble Gum, Marlene and Alice seemed more impacted by the presence of this young lady. They stared blankly at her with unconcealable surprise and doubt in their expressions. Even Alice, who didn’t care about anything else other than books and rarely showed her feelings, seemed agitated at this point. She embraced the tome in her arms tightly and went ahead with quick steps. Meanwhile, Marlene also stepped onto the plaza with complicated emotions. However, they weren’t the only ones.
A bright, gentle radiance emanated from the ground and burst into the sky. Then, a petite figure with a face identical to Christie’s appeared within. She seemed incomparably perturbed and nostalgic.
Witnessing everyone’s arrival, the young lady smiled. She turned to Alice, Marlene, and Christie in order and nodded slightly to them. Then, she broke the silence.
“Long time no see, my adorable children.”
