Chapter 758: Goddess of Trickery
Rebirth Tower, First Floor — Iron Kingdom
A twelve-year-old girl stood quietly among a crowd of students, her golden eyes moving from one face to another with open curiosity.
She looked ordinary at first glance, dressed in a simple blue gown, her long black hair falling neatly behind her back. But a closer look revealed what set her apart—soft, cat-like ears twitched atop her head, and a slender tail swayed lazily behind her.
A flute rested in her left hand.
She walked slowly, humming a faint tune under her breath, her steps light and unhurried.
And yet—
Something was wrong.
No one moved.
Not the students.
Not the instructors.
Not even Zera's illusory projection.
The entire floor stood frozen, as if time itself had been locked in place.
The girl paused and inhaled softly, her nose twitching.
"Hmm… I can smell mother's scent below."
Her figure blurred.
In the next instant, she vanished.
