Time was ticking by, little by little.
Trist tightly covered her mouth and nose with her hand, fearing that even a slight sound would attract the attention of the monster opposite her.
She hadn't seen clearly what had happened just now, only feeling something flash before her eyes, and her companions had already turned into corpses.
It was too terrifying.
After a long while, there was no sound on the desert except for the wind. Trist quietly peeked out, thinking that monster might have left.
However, just as she peered out through the tiny sand holes, she found that the monster was also looking in with the same posture!
Surprised? Unexpected?
Trist was so scared she almost screamed. Just as she was about to jump out of the sand dune, something soft wrapped around her feet.
Looking down, it was several pale tentacles.
Tentacles and a young girl?
Why does this scene feel so familiar?
Yamabuki tilted his head slightly. He felt like he had seen this scene somewhere before, perhaps in a movie. What was the movie called?
Hmm... it seemed to be called something like 'Magical Girl'!
Forget it, if I can't remember, I won't think about it. Eating is more important.
The tentacles directly pierced the girl's body, sucking her into an empty shell. The Quincy power within him increased by another fraction.
As Trist died, she was still looking at the palace, constantly calling out to His Majesty, hoping His Majesty would descend and save her.
But unfortunately, her Majesty would not respond to her at all.
Yamabuki also saw the palace in the distance at this time. He could feel a very powerful force in that palace; it was the power of a Quincy. If he consumed that power, his strength would definitely increase by a large margin.
As soon as he thought of this, greedy drool flowed from his mouth.
However, the Hollowfied Yamabuki had forgotten that the strongest Quincy in Silbern was called Yhwach.
And guarding Yhwach were four Royal Guard members.
They were the strongest four-person team recognized by the Sternritter currently.
But now Yamabuki had forgotten all of this. In his eyes, there was no Quincy King, no Yhwach; that was just a meal for him! Just devour it!
Silbern still had twenty minutes before it could transfer. Suddenly, a huge alarm sounded throughout the entire palace.
Mardon walked out with a pale face, "What happened? Did the Shinigami attack? Why is the alarm sounding?"
A Quincy member replied in a low voice, "Commander. It's not Shinigami. Judging from the spiritual pressure reaction, it should be a Hollow."
Mardon relaxed, "Just a Hollow and you're making such a fuss? Have you all become startled birds? Send two people to kill that Hollow."
However, the Quincy who delivered the intelligence wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Commander, two waves of people have already been sent, but they were instantly killed by this Hollow! Conservatively estimated, this should be a Vasto Lorde. Unless the Sternritter adults personally make a move, otherwise..."
"Vasto Lorde?" Mardon's expression immediately froze.
Vasto Lorde are the highest-grade Menos Grande, and their combat power is self-evident.
Even Sternritter members might not be a match for a Vasto Lorde in a one-on-one situation.
"And there's one more thing I don't know if I should tell you! This Hollow... should be the one who killed Warren."
Hearing this intelligence, Mardon felt his sanity directly evaporate. His relationship with his sister was very good. They had relied on each other since childhood, joined Wandenreich together, and became Sternritter members together. But he never expected that his sister would die just by going on a small mission.
"Crunch!!!" Mardon directly crushed the cup in his hand, his body trembling uncontrollably from anger. Now, the culprit who killed his sister was right in front of him. How could he possibly turn and run away?
"Tell me his exact location! I'm going to kill him!!!!!" Mardon's eyes were bloodshot.
"Commander, please don't be impulsive. Your current duty is to command, and you are still seriously injured. You won't be able to defeat him," the Quincy directly threw out a cold, hard truth.
Mardon grabbed the subordinate's neck, "The murderer who harmed my sister is right in front of me, and you tell me to calm down! I'll calm your ass! Give me a sword! Even if it means dying with him, I will kill him!"
Seeing that no one could dissuade him, a clear female voice came from the side, "Everyone move aside. If you want to seek death, go by yourself. Don't drag us down. You also know how critical our situation is right now. The Shinigami are already closing in. If you, the temporary commander, die in this situation, Wandenreich will probably collapse, won't it?"
Mardon looked at the girl beside him, and his anger immediately dissipated.
"Alice, weren't you guarding His Majesty? Why are you out?" Mardon asked with difficulty.
Alice Heinrich, one of the Sternritter Royal Guard members, and currently one of the strongest combat forces under Yhwach in Wandenreich.
"I don't want His Majesty to wake up and find that the empire he painstakingly built has disappeared. Everyone, get back to your posts! The transfer will begin in twenty minutes. I don't care how you do it, but hold them off for twenty minutes. As for that Hollow, I'll deal with it," Alice said loudly.
Although the Royal Guard were nominally Sternritter members, they did not actually accept Mardon's authority and reported directly to Yhwach.
"Can you do it alone? This Hollow killed five of our Sternritter members..." Mardon said with difficulty.
"Please don't compare me to those wastes," Alice said indifferently.
The Sternritter had extremely high upper and lower limits.
And Alice was precisely among those at the very top.
Being called a waste, Mardon gave a bitter smile. Indeed, in terms of strength, the four Royal Guard members by His Majesty's side were all above him.
And he had indeed been overly impulsive just now. He bore a heavy responsibility; how could he let personal vendetta make him lose his composure?
Taking two deep breaths, Mardon readjusted his mindset.
"Everyone, prepare for transfer in twenty minutes. Return to your respective posts!"
...
After Yamabuki entered Silbern, he rampaged all the way, as if he had arrived at a buffet, eating anyone he saw. Who knows how many people died by his hand.
As Quincy were swallowed one by one, Yamabuki's power also increased minute by minute.
Just then, a blonde, wavy-haired older sister walked towards him.
Tall with large breasts, a slender waist, and long legs, exuding a full 'older sister' aura!
She wore high heels and a miniskirt at her waist.
Yamabuki saw the older sister-type woman striding towards him and roared furiously in his heart, "Why no black stockings?! Wait, what are black stockings?!"
