Chapter 1212 He Wants To Come Here?
Anastasia paced back and forth inside the underground cave on the central island, her brow furrowed.
"If what I am thinking is correct, then that stupid girl is really bold..." She muttered under her breath, trying to understand Ashley's situation.
As she was lost in thoughts, her shadowy powers, which gave her the best concealment ability reacted, and her expression changed.
Without wasting a second, she activated Soul Resonance once again, her eyes glowing with a strange black-red light.
After a few seconds, her shadowy powers stopped reacting, and she deactivated Soul Resonance, feeling a sharp, stinging pain in her already drained soul.
"Damn it... such a strong tracking skill and that bloody aura..." She muttered in a serious voice, recalling the vampire she had killed before coming to the Dragon Islands. "Other than Alistair, no one else can track me to such a degree just by using a blood connection."
Anastasia rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a headache coming on. Although she knew that Alistair hadn't seen her face because she reacted on time, he had definitely discovered her current location, and since he was trying to track her, there was a high chance that he was already on his way to the Dragon Islands.
"In normal times, I would have been happy knowing that vampire guy is coming to the Dragon Islands to cause trouble, but in the current situation where Ashley is also being brought here..." She said under her breath and took a deep breath.
After thinking for a while, she sighed and sat down, taking out some purple-coloured flowers from her storage ring.
The purple-coloured flowers were Violet Soul Nourishing Flowers that she had found in the secret realm at the bottom of the sea.
The flowers she had taken out had two petals, showing that they were of the lowest grade among the flowers she had found in the secret realm.
However, Anastasia didn't care about their level because she didn't want to increase her spiritual powers, but to nourish her drained soul so that she could regain her ability to use Soul Resonance once again.
If it were normal times, she would never have used the Violet Soul Nourishing Flowers just to replenish her spiritual powers, but now that there was a chance that even Alistair was coming here, she couldn't care less about it.
Besides, she was just using the flowers with two petals, and there were many of them. Even if she used some of them, it wouldn't affect anyone.
Moreover, she already had the Universal Spring, which could provide the best environment for herbs and other things to grow.
Once Evan reaches Rank Five and successfully merges the Universal Spring with his World, even with just a single flower, he will be able to cultivate an entire garden of them.
"Let's hope my gut feeling is wrong and that bastard vampire doesn't come here; otherwise, there is a high chance that Ashley and I will be exposed..." She said in a low voice and began to eat the violet soul-nourishing flowers one after another.
As the power of the flowers entered her body, a soothing feeling spread over her soul, and the stinging pain she was feeling began to decrease rapidly.
"As expected... even though it is the lowest-level flower—with just two petals, it can still heal my soul at such a rapid speed."
Anastasia continued to refine the Violet Soul Nourishing Flowers, and by the time she had refined the tenth flower, the stinging pain in her soul had completely disappeared, and her spiritual power had almost fully recovered.
She tried to use Soul Resonance and found there was no problem with it and she could use it once again.
As Anastasia was feeling quite refreshed after the stinging pain in her soul disappeared, she suddenly noticed something on the holographic screen in front of her, and her expression turned serious.
"He wants to come here?" Zalthorak asked with an ugly look on his face.
"Yes, we just received a message from our people in the Bloodmoon Empire that Emperor Alistair wants to come here and is asking for permission to use the teleportation formation," A Rank Four dragon spoke in an uneasy voice.
"Damn it, why does he want to come here at such a time..." Zalthorak cursed under his breath as he looked at the fragments of the destroyed Fire Dragon Island floating in the Boundless Ocean.
He thought for a few seconds and finally shook his head.
"Deny him. Tell our people to inform him that we are currently busy with something and can't allow anyone to enter the Dragon Islands."
"That..." The Rank Four dragon was stunned when he heard Zalthorak and hesitated for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Zalthorak frowned when he saw the Rank Four dragon's expression.
"Other than asking for permission to use the teleportation formation, Emperor Alistair also told us the reason for his visit..." The Rank Four dragon spoke and looked at the fragments of the Fire Dragon Island below.
Seeing the Rank Four dragon looking at the destroyed island, Zalthorak's expression turned serious, and he motioned for him to continue.
"According to Emperor Alistair, he wants to come here because a Rank Six Core Evolver who killed one of his confidants is hiding here."
"What?!" Zalthorak's eyes opened wide in shock when he heard the dragon's words, and he felt a sudden chill run down his spine.
"Are you sure he mentioned that a Rank Six Core Evolver is hiding here?" He asked in a deep voice, his spiritual senses communicating with the core of the Dragon Islands to look for any anomalies.
"That's what the person who passed Emperor Alistair's message told us," The Rank Four dragon spoke upon hearing Zalthorak.
Zalthorak communicated with the core of the Dragon Islands for a while, but the AI of the core told him that it hadn't detected any anomalies.
Although the AI told him that there was nothing wrong, Zalthorak didn't relax, remembering that the AI hadn't detected the person who destroyed the Fire Dragon Island either.
He fell deep into thoughts and after remaining silent for a while, he finally nodded his head.
"All right, activate the formation and let him come here."
