Chapter 225 Very difficult
Anthony opened his eyes again, observing the plant still sleeping with a peculiar tranquility, just like the small tree behind it, whose leaves moved gently with a special glow. It was a charming tree. Then, he turned his gaze towards the two girls who were now sleeping peacefully. For a moment, his gaze wandered as he reflected.
The most important part of the conversation he had with the dragon was undoubtedly about the dryad and the world tree. These two beings were in Cristal's possession, inside her dimensional gate. Anthony sighed as he understood that everything now made sense.
During the siege on the academy, the invaders focused on creating rituals and defense mechanisms in the magical faculty, while the capital was besieged by Burning Torment the Ancient. The cultists focused on killing Cristal, but her death was a mystery, as if she simply vanished.
Now he understood why Seraphine Benedetto had suffered a soul collapse, leaving her incapacitated. She lost half of her soul when the gate was deactivated due to Cristal's death, leaving only two sacred-ranked beings in combat. Anthony furrowed his brow; all of this had to do with Alison Darkwood.
Perhaps she had some spell that made her totally undetectable; that could be the only explanation as to why no one knew how Cristal died, even her body disappeared. Cristal, a saint-ranked mage, vanished from the face of the world.
Similarly, the adversaries took advantage of the chaos of the moment to eliminate Perséfone and Estefany, along with the two boys designated as chosen ones of the artifacts from zone 8. Alison had leaked all crucial information to the Ancient-ranked creatures. She was manipulated and used as a puppet by them, deceived and manipulated into killing her daughters. Anthony let out a small ironic smile.@@@@
In a way, he had done the same to her when he asked her to be his slave. Shaking his head, he sighed. Alison was a miserable woman.
POV Alison
Alison's purple eyes contemplated the flower in her hands with a mixture of fascination and desperation. The petals, beautiful yet dark, seemed like a small river of darkness speckled with tiny motes of light. Her expression became complicated as she weighed her thoughts. She had searched for this flower for years, and her desperation had only grown over time.
When she had lost all hope, a young man with white hair and red eyes handed it to her. She could still clearly remember how she was manipulated by him with her daughters.
Recalling the situation, Alison's eyes turned cold. Her daughters, her beloved daughters, were her absolute priority, and she would do anything to protect them, even if it meant betraying the empire. She shook her head, pushing aside those thoughts for a moment as she refocused on the flower.

With a determined gesture, she took out a huge crystal from her ring and, with a snap of her fingers, made the entire surroundings disappear. She stripped off her clothes as thousands of runes shone intensely in the room. From those runes, a black liquid emerged, and the space itself seemed to tremble.
Alison's body heated up, and her white skin turned red under the effect of the dark energies surrounding her. With determination, she brought the flower to her mouth. The moment the flower made contact with her lineage, her body trembled violently. A part of her chest suddenly darkened, and thousands of worms frantically emerged, as if trying to escape from within her.
Alison felt as if her blood was being ripped from her body in a whirlwind of pain, letting out an agonizing scream.
