NOVPUB"What do you see?"
"Another formation," Riya murmured, her eyes condensed. She still sent out those jade dolls out. Some of the jade dolls were destroyed by the magic beasts who were territorial but many of these jade dolls still existed and were busy searching around.
Through their effort, Riya was able to create a basic map of the crack in this area and found that there were many dead ends.
All of these dead ends were leading to various nest of these magic beasts.
It was terrifying to see.
But they could be a good hunting grounds if they were stronger.
'I'm still at the early stage of rank 5 while Samuel had reached the middle stage… the improvement of magicians are indeed slow.' Riya sighed to herself in her heart when she thought about this.
It was not like she wanted it to be this way, but there was simply no other methods for magicians to rise quickly in ranks aside from using the special magic core or some other forbidden methods.
And Riya definitely didn't want to use forbidden method that could damage her foundation.
That's a big no.
She wanted to be a strong rune master!
"Let's clean up the magic beasts. Have you rested enough?"
"Yes."
…
Riya and Samuel were busy within the crack and the people outside were also busy with their own things.
Among them, Victoria finally managed to get out of the prison after staying there for a few days. She didn't understand why they released her so easily but after she read the document, she realized that they categorized her action as defensive counterattack.
Since she only did it for the sake of defending herself, they would not hold her for too long.
Even though the defensive measure was a bit too much, but it was all good.
After this matter, no one dared to get close to Victoria.
Live in the prison was not that bad and Victoria didn't have to face her annoying family members anymore.
Moreover… she finally advanced to rank 1 of magic warrior.
Even though Victoria felt really hungry because there was only one meal every day in prison, but it was good enough to sustain her life so far.
'And being able to train quietly is also very good.'
But…
Is this really the path that she truly wanted to take?
Victoria looked at her hand as she finished the formality documents in front of her. The base had only been built for a short period of time, but most of the things here were already complete and there was basically a complete administration work.
The people should be busy.
Not that Victoria cared about that.
She looked at the documents in her hand, her eyes lowered slightly.
Is the case really that simple?
Or is there someone's else handwriting in this matter that allowed her to get out of the prison so quickly?
Victoria didn't know.
But even if she didn't know, it didn't mean that she had no idea at all.
She's not stupid.
Being able to survive under the exploitation of her parents for such a long time, Victoria was used to the fact that they would use their influence and money to turn things around for their favor. Even if things looked like it was going against them, they would figure out a way to make it favorable for them.
One way or another…
Nothing could go against them.
'But I really couldn't accept this favor.'
The feeling of blood flowing on her hand was still vivid in her mind and Victoria couldn't shake it out from her brain. Even when she was dreaming, she kept on seeing the scene that she didn't want to see.
Saying that she has affection for her mother, it was definitely not right.
She didn't have any affection for that woman.
But saying that she didn't feel anything after killing someone would definitely be wrong.
That was the first time in her life she had ever killed someone and the person she killed was her own mother.
Even if it was an accident…
Victoria felt that this matter would haunt her for the rest of her life.
But if one were to ask whether she regret her decision back then or not… strangely, she didn't feel any regret.
It was as if something inside her heart was released.
If Victoria had to say, it was truly a strange feeling.
'Am I really so heartless?'
Victoria pondered to herself as she put away the document that she has finished signed. There were a few things that was brought to the police station at that time and now Victoria was taking them back.
Just her phone and wallet. There were some messages in her phone, but Victoria was clearly not in the mood to check any of them.
She just… wanted to go.
Her brain was a mess and Victoria could clearly feel that it was wrong for her to do this, but at the same time, she also knew that even if it was wrong, she had no regret for her action or anything like that.
Remorse?
There was none.
The only reason why she turned herself in was because Victoria knew that it was impossible for her to get away with this crime.
Rather than running away unclearly, it would be better to stay in prison.
'Well, my stomach definitely suffer but it's better than being chased and then possibly got killed somewhere unknown.'
Victoria looked at the wall, her expression was complicated. She clearly wanted to be able to get out and be free but at the same time, she also knew that it was such an unrealistic dream because of those magic beasts and her own ability.
As a weak and ordinary person, she could only live ordinarily…
Victoria sighed in her heart.
But she could clearly feel the deep sense of unwillingness that seeped out from deep within her heart.
She didn't want to be like this.
