Chapter 300: Never Be Apart!
As the magic light gradually dissipated, the scene before Ansu's eyes underwent a total transformation.
The lighting magic stones emitted a soft halo, enveloping the entire mine in a quiet and bright atmosphere. He had been brought back to the "treasure vault" by Celia—deep within the mine in the northern Black Forest.
Celia pulled him along, and the two of them sat together on a bed covered with soft fur.
“There, the nuisance is finally gone!”
Her eyes crinkled with a smile as she leaned close to Ansu, affectionately stroking his cheek.
“Ansu... we're safe now.”
Her slender fingertips slowly traced over his furrowed brow. Celia carefully outlined his features as if confirming that the person before her truly existed.
Ansu observed her in silence.
Celia's pupils flickered with a dangerous dark red light, and a faint black mist drifted around her forearms, where fine, scale-like patterns were faintly emerging.
