Chapter 163: Incomplete Crack (1)
Pandora was moving at full speed, leaving the Academy City behind.
The artifact had already exhausted its lifespan, and there would certainly be someone who felt the ominous aura leaking from her.
‘Verification complete!’
Yet, for Pandora, the feeling of confirmation of a promising hypothesis was far greater than the sense of crisis.
If she missed this opportunity, she didn’t know when another one might come, so she felt relieved.
Had she missed today and only had the hypothesis left? If the flow of things in the Academy City had shifted again, she wouldn’t have acted so quietly as she did today.
Having already used a precious artifact, she would have been forced into a war of attrition. If that happened, she’d have to rely on her subordinates to cause chaos in society, then break in forcefully to confirm the results.
With satisfaction, Pandora had just left the city when the large, flame-wreathed greatsword came flying at an insane speed.
“Scary,” she said, curling the corners of her lips.
A thick mass, rising from her shadow, entangled with the projectile, slowing it down. Pandora dodged the greatsword and landed on a quiet road.
At the same time, the greatsword returned to its owner.
‘Today is a day full of losses except for the verification. I hate trouble.’
