Demon Hunter and His Cabin-Chapter 1040 - 747: The Long-Awaited Power of the Earth

This was the longest transmission Olivia had ever experienced. In fact, with Tristramy personally overseeing it, the entire transmission process was stable and swift, reaching the utmost speed.

But for Olivia, perhaps the moment she returned to her body and reality, she would suffer a lethal blow and die instantly. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

When she felt her body and hadn’t even opened her eyes, she instinctively activated all defenses.

Boom!

A violent air current swept out, destroying the precise instruments, leaving clear cracks on the floor, and even the rotating mechanism on the dome slightly halted.

This single act of destruction alone would take her at least three months to repair all the tower’s facilities.

But seconds later, the anticipated strike did not come, and only then did Olivia open her eyes cautiously.

Her surroundings were a complete mess, yet the man’s silhouette was nowhere in sight.

"Did he escape?"

Olivia muttered to herself, and the next second activated the power in her soul, sending out a complex message.

As a powerful Governing Officer, countless nobles in the decayed kingdom wanted her head, but in the past decade, the assassinations and attacks she faced had become fewer and fewer.

This was because the decaying bodies of assassins from the kingdom left a trail of bones behind her, a testament to the bloodshed through which she forged her reputation, forcing the kingdom to temporarily halt their attacks on her.

Deadly missions held no meaning for even the bravest of assassins.

So, for Olivia, her biggest worry was being attacked right after transmitting when she had not fully gained control over her body.

A strong fortress, a safe haven, is of utmost importance to every Transcendent.

Though the tower she resided in appeared ordinary, breaching it from the outside would be a daunting challenge, so once she regained control of her body, Olivia found solace.

At that moment, even if she encountered attacks from enemies of the same level or stronger, she could still respond calmly.

"Apart from you, no other person has left the tower."

Receiving Aerfie’s response in her mind, Olivia still felt puzzled. She was certain she was the only one in the core of the tower at that time.

"Could it be she hasn’t returned to reality?"

Olivia’s heart skipped a beat, and a mysterious pattern appeared on her golden earring on her left ear. A familiar voice then entered the depths of her consciousness.

"Did you find him?"

It was Tristramy speaking.

As an Immortal, she could not leave the Soul Realm, but over the long years, these top-level Transcendents always found loopholes in the world’s rules.

She herself couldn’t leave, but cross-border communication was barely possible.

"Teacher, he’s not here."

"Damn it, that thief got away!" Tristramy said angrily.

"What did you lose? Did he approach me just to steal one of your treasures?"

"It’s a very important item; we must find him."

"The message has been sent out, and I used an oath; soon, you’ll receive unconditional support, with the entire Federation locked down, and other City-States fully cooperating with you."

"Under no circumstances should he leave here!"

Tristramy repeatedly instructed.

"Teacher, I think you misunderstood one thing; he hasn’t escaped, rather... hasn’t returned yet."

Just as Olivia was saying this, a vortex of soul power formed out of nowhere in the room, and a thin figure appeared in mid-air, slowly landing on the ground.

For an instant, Olivia’s mind even stopped thinking, "He didn’t leave but has just returned...?"

"But why, what exactly happened, and what is his purpose?"

A series of questions flooded her mind. Olivia didn’t sense any threat from the man, who didn’t even raise his head to look at her, instead examining his pale, slender hand.

"It seems it won’t work?" Roger shook his head gently, then noticed the surroundings and eyed Olivia.

"Surprisingly, I thought I would be attacked during my return."

Truthfully, Olivia also wasn’t sure why she didn’t instinctively launch an attack.

From the beginning to the end, everything about this incident felt strange. Despite her respect for her teacher, she wasn’t a mere echo, and it was these doubts that prevented her from being certain about her actions.

"Are you a spy from the kingdom?"

"Did you approach me just to steal my teacher’s treasure?"

Olivia’s power slowly contracted, ready to attack at any moment.

"Sorry, I’m afraid I can’t clearly explain to you, but I believe this is all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?"

"Is your disguised power also a misunderstanding?"

"Whatever you stole, hand it over to me now, and I promise I can plead for you with my teacher. Having stolen from an Immortal, there will be no place for you in this world."

"So give up, obediently hand over the item, and then come with me."

Olivia persuaded.

"If she wants back that item, let her come take it herself." Roger sneered.

"Sorry about this."

"I can only take action myself!"

Before her words fell, Olivia leapt next to Roger. She used no weapon, simply reaching for Roger’s shoulder.

The speed of the attack wasn’t particularly fast, and with Roger’s modified body, he could easily dodge it. He instinctively shifted his body half a step, but something strange happened.
