"…!!"
Alissanda suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for air.
Just now, he felt as if he had an incomparably wonderful dream.
There was a woman in the dream, a very beautiful woman.
But Alissanda couldn't remember exactly what she looked like.
He only remembered that she said she would help him escape, and then … and then … hmm?
The sound of insects in his ears attracted Alissanda's attention. Only then did he realize that he wasn't in the cell that he was locked up in, but a barn instead.
This surprised Alissanda greatly. How did he get here?
What exactly is this place?
He stumbled to his feet and looked around blankly, but he could only see the dilapidated outer walls of the barn and the silhouettes of the surrounding houses. It seemed like it was already midnight, and other than the little lights on both sides of the street, he couldn't see anything else.
What exactly is going on?
Although he couldn't figure out what exactly was happening, there was one thing that Alissanda was sure of. He had already left the damned Church of Holy Light and regained his freedom!
Right, thinking until here, Alissanda once again thought of the woman in his dream. It must be her, it must be her who helped me escape from that terrifying place?
Who is that woman?
Why did she help me?
Although Alissanda's mind was in a mess, he knew that no matter what, he had already left the Church of Holy Light. But what should he do next?
Although Alissanda had a bad temper, he was still quite smart.
He was very clear that no matter how he left, just the fact that he escaped from the Church of Holy Light's prison was enough to make him a goner.
The Church of Holy Light would definitely not let him go, and even if he ran back to the Soros family, the family would definitely not protect him. After all, he was only the third in line of succession, and the Soros family had no reason to risk offending the Church of Holy Light by taking him in. Otherwise, once the Church of Holy Light found out, they might even suspect that the Soros family saved him. If that really happened, then it would be troublesome!
Damn it!
Alissanda couldn't help but hammer the ground. Although he had indeed left the Church of Holy Light's prison, what was the use of that?
Would he be able to regain the identity and status that he was supposed to have in the past?
Clang!!
At this moment, a clear sound caught Alissanda's attention. He hurriedly stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.
At the gate of the barn, a woman dressed like a peasant woman was staring at him with wide eyes in horror.
No wonder. No one would have thought that they would see a stranger in such a place.
Not to mention the fact that Alissanda was still wearing a prisoner's uniform. Coupled with his long beard and thick hair, he looked no different from a barbarian.
"Somebody, somebody … somebody …!"
Noticing Alissanda's gaze, the woman shrieked. Alissanda was startled by her shriek. If he was discovered, he would be finished!
In the blink of an eye, as soon as this thought cropped up in his mind, he pounced forward like a hungry wolf. He leaped up and clutched the peasant woman's neck with both hands, muffling her screams and wails. Then, he pressed the peasant woman to the ground and snarled like a wild beast, attempting to strangle her to death.
Facing the threat of death, the woman reacted. She opened her mouth and tried to breathe like a fish out of water. At the same time, she hammered the man in front of her with both hands and twisted her body in an attempt to break free.
But at this moment, Alissanda naturally wouldn't let her live. He panted heavily, clutched the woman's neck tightly, and felt her life force gradually extinguishing in his hands.
But at this moment, an uncontrollable thought suddenly emerged in Alissanda's mind. Just like a hungry person who wanted to eat or drink water when he was thirsty, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind when he saw that the woman was about to die.
Then, Alissanda opened his mouth.
"…!"
Perhaps Alissanda didn't realize it, but the woman saw it. After the man opened his mouth, he revealed a tongue that was much longer than a human's.
It was as though a scarlet, fleshy snake was coiling around her. Oh my God, she even saw a slit with tiny, sharp teeth at the tip of the tongue!
What kind of monster is this!
But at this moment, the pitiful woman didn't need to figure it out anymore. Because at the next moment, Alissanda's tongue shot into her open mouth like a sharp blade and penetrated deep into her body.
Shortly after, the scarlet, straw-like tongue flicked in and out as though a person was sucking a drink with a straw.
Along with Alissanda's actions, the woman's resistance gradually weakened. In the end, her arms fell to the ground powerlessly and she no longer had any reaction.
But at this moment, Alissanda didn't notice it at all. On the contrary, he absorbed the energy from the woman's body frantically as though he were possessed.
He sensed an endless, warm, and comfortable energy entering his body. This feeling made him ecstatic. He had never experienced such a wonderful feeling. It was as though he were above the clouds. He sensed powerful energy filling his body. At this moment, he was almost omnipotent!
After an unknown period of time, Alissanda finally stopped sucking. At this moment, the woman's voluptuous body had shriveled like a punctured balloon. Her dry, rough skin stuck to her bones, looking exceptionally terrifying.
But to Alissanda, this didn't seem to be a problem at all. He didn't even care why the woman became like this.
At this moment, the only thing he felt was the energy contained in his body. He sensed powerful vitality boiling in his body. After he digested the vitality, his strength would improve further!
But this wasn't enough … He needed more, more strength … As long as he had enough strength, he could change his fate.
At that time, no matter if it was the Holy Church, the Soros Family, or even Zayen, they would all submit to his power. He would be the strongest!
He would become the greatest ruler of the entire Eagle Plateau and even the entire Klein Continent!
Everything in this world, including the Gods, would tremble in fear before his strength!
Alissanda's eyes glinted at this thought. He turned around and gazed at the quiet village outside the window. Everything that happened earlier didn't seem to wake up the people who were sleeping. They were still enjoying their sweet sleep and sweet dreams in the night.
But to Alissanda, this was the biggest dream of all.
Gazing at the pitch-black houses, Alissanda licked his lips.
It was mealtime.
While Alissanda was enjoying his first meal after breaking out of prison, in the underground city thousands of miles away, Jenn was receiving a special guest.
Or rather … a potential ally.
Thinking about the arrogant young man in front of him, Eliard was furious. This wasn't because of the arrogant attitude that Jenn displayed in front of him. Instead, it was because Eliard recalled the good things that Jenn did to his daughter, Elise, in front of him. In all fairness, no father would be able to tolerate such provocation.
But Eliard couldn't do anything. After the conflict with Jenn, he returned to Black Agate City.
As the human allied forces caused a huge ruckus, and there were incidents of Morsbres and the City of Grey Dwarves successively being conquered and destroyed, the people of Black Agate City were in a state of panic.
After all, the Underdark Region was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Regardless of whether it was Morsbres or the City of Grey Dwarves, they were much stronger than Black Agate City. If even they were easily destroyed, then perhaps Black Agate City would be in trouble.
Because of this threat, Eliard could only temporarily put down his worry for his daughter. After all, he was one of the rulers of Black Agate City, and he had to be responsible for his people.
But this didn't mean that Eliard wasn't worried about his daughter. After all, she was his only flesh and blood. Elise had always been obedient and was deeply loved by Eliard. Now that she had been abducted by such a man, Eliard was quite displeased.
He also didn't know if the other party would treat his daughter well. At least, it seemed that Jenn was a very rough and unyielding person. Who knew what he would do to his daughter …
And because of this, Eliard's worry for Elise never changed. It could be seen how happy Eliard would be when he saw Elise safely return to Black Agate City.
However, the news that came from Elyse shocked Elyse.
Counterattack the surface.
That young man had actually gained a firm foothold on the surface and was trying to expand his territory step by step?
So, should he cooperate with him or not?
Until he stepped into this underground city again, Eliard still couldn't make up his mind. But he knew that the future of Black Agate City depended on this move.
