Chapter 426
Then, the voodoo warlock began to emit a rhythmic and strange sound, Leon and the others watched in disbelief as the centipede spromised a pair of transparent wings and few straight toward them
For some reason, they all felt a sense of impending danger. The creature looked much more potent than they had anticipated, and they weren’t sure if the talisman Phoebe had given them would help.
They wanted to run, but they knew there was no escaping it. Stimmed and pale–faced, they could only stand there in fear, silently cursing Ophelia again.
Jonkerl closer, they realized it was a burning
A flash of fire suddenly flew toward them from a distance, catching everyone’s attention. As they in talisman.
The talisman struck the linte flying centipede with flames. Then, everyone heard a chilling, agonizing scream from the little centipede as it fell from the air and crashed to the ground.
The scene left the Voodoo Warlock stunned. It was a venomous parasite that his mentor had cultivated using his blood. Its power was on par with that of a Metaphysics practitioner who had reached the peak of the Reverence Realm.
He was in shock. “How could a calisman bring down something like that? In a panic, he was about to step forward to check it out, but just as he did, a flash of red light streaked across the ground, and the little centipede vanished without a trace,
Everyone was baffled by the red light and how the centipede had disappeared. Their eyes instinctively followed the light, and they saw Phoebe stepping out from the shadows. The red light had flown straight into her backpark.
Due to the little serpent’s incredible speed, only Phoebe noticed what happened. The red light was the serpent, which had caught the small centipede in its mouth. It swiftly slithered into Phoebe’s bug and slowly consumed the centipede.
Phoebe’s talisman had severely injured the centipede, and the positive energy that the Great Warlock had infused into it was erased. As a result, the lile serpent quickly overpowered it. No matter how much the centipede struggled, it became its meal
The serpent discovered that the centipede was tastier than the stone and exceptionally nourishing. Although the other venomous parasites on the ground didn’t seem as tasty as this one, it still felt like it wanted more. It decided to ask Phoebe for some later.
Outside, everyone turned to look at Phoebe. Maddox and the other lookerl joyous. “Pheels” they exclaimed, relieved that Phoebe was fine.
Then, they quickly added with concern. Therbs, this Voodoo Warlock is here for you. Be careful?
When they see Phoebe appear, they feel relieved. Although she had a sharp tongue and a stern demeanor, they knew she was reliable, giving them a sense of security. With her around, they figured they should be fine. After all, her talisman had efficiently dealt with that terrifying centipede.
The Voodoo Warlock’s eyes narrowed when he saw Phoebe. “How are you so powerful?” he asked, clearly stunned.
He thought, “Wasn’t Phoebe Jenkins supposed to have just recently reached the Reverence Realm!”
Back in Oriar, Phoebe had dealt with a group of people who tried to intercept her. He had noticed then that she was pretty strong, and he wasn’t sure he could gain the upper hand if he went up against her, so he hadn’t rushed in
But the person behind him had told him that Phoebe’s strength came entirely from the artifacts, given to her by Percival. If only he could borrow some powerful items from his inenior, taking down Phoebe would be simple.
To be safe, he had not only brought along the venomous parasites he had carefully raised for years but also borrowed a powerful little centipede from his mentor, He never expected Phorbe to defeat the centipede so quickly.
What startled him even more was that he couldn’t sense the linte centipede’s presence. It meant that it was most likely already dead, which was terrifying he wondered how Phoebe did it.
In that moment, panat set in, and the first thought that crossed his mind was that he had been deceived. The person had tricked him.
Phoebe raised an eyebrow as she looked at the Voodoo Warlock. “The person who sent you,” she said coolly, “probably never intended for you make it lack alive. That’s why they hid my true abilities from you!
The mastermind probably wasn’t fully aware of her current strength, but they knew she was
he was more powerful than the Voodoo Warlock. Phorbe kinpected that the mysterious figure was trying to use the Warlock as a pawn, selling him up to deal with her.
She would defeat him or even turn the tables and kill him, all part of their plan to eliminate him without getting their own hands dirty. Naturally. this meant she had made an enemy of the Voodoo Warlock’s mentor, the Great Warlock
With his prized disciple killed, the Great Warlork would undoubtedly seek revenge. If it were based on her previous strength, she would have been no match for him. The person behind her probably thought it would be easy to eliminate this muisance without lifting a finger, using the Warlock to handle the situation for them.

Even now that she had reached the Ascendance Realm, facing the Great Warlock would still be challenging. While she wasn’t afraid, it would undoubtedly be a tricky fight. Getting injured was almost inevitable.
However, having seen through the scheming of the mastermind, she certainly wouldn’t follow the path they had set for her. That was why she deliberately pointed it out to the Voodoo Warlock. He wasn’t wholly foolish either; after a brief moment of thought, he realized the scheme the person behind him laid out.
His face darkened as he realized that despite working together countless times, the person behind him was willing to sacrifice his life to deal with Phoebe. Given Phoebe’s immense strength, it would be difficult if his mentor came to seek revenge for him
“It was Mrs. Hill who paid me to take care of you. I’m just carrying out someone else’s orders
The Voodoo Warlock quickly shifted his thoughts and decided to compromise with Phoebe. How about this? I promise I won’t cause you any more trouble in the future. What do you say?”
Phoebe sneered. This isn’t Relands, where you can come and go as you please. She raised her hand and pointed at the three brothers. “If it weren’t for me stepping in, those three would already be dead at your hands.”
The three’s faces changed. It seemed their earlier feeling was right that centipede was dangerous. It looked like even the protective talisman couldn’t stop it.
The Voodoo Warlock awkwardly said, “Well, they’re not dead yet, are they? Your actions have wiped out the venomous parasites my mentor carefully raised. I suppose we’re even now, right?”
When he returned, he had no idea how to explain this to his mentor. It had been long since he humbled himself to anyone like this. So, if he ever got the chance, he was determined to take revenge on Phoebe.
Phoebe looked at him coldly. “Do you think a filthy bug can settle the debt of three lives?”
