Chapter 711 Did She Tell You Her Name?
“It must be Father!”
Amy’s eyes immediately lit up as she looked at Irina, and she quickly gathered her thoughts. If Mother can’t come back from the moon, then Father will be very lonely. Should I try to get him a wife? I thought Teacher Luna was really good, but I think Father will like this beautiful big sister better. Father would definitely like such a beautiful big sister, right?
Irina’s brows furrowed slightly as she cast her gaze toward the entrance of the room. She then stroked Amy’s cheek with a serious expression as she said, “I’m going now, Xiao Mi. Don’t tell anyone that you saw me here, and if anyone asks, you didn’t beat up this bad guy, either.”
“Alright.” Amy nodded obediently, but for some reason, she felt reluctant to part with this beautiful big sister. As Irina was about to leave, Amy quietly asked, “What’s your name, Big Sister?”
“I’m Irina. I’ll come back to find you again.” Irina smiled before stomping her delicate foot onto Brent’s face one last time. Immediately thereafter, golden light flashed beneath her feet and a small teleportation formation appeared, transporting her away from this place.
Mag had heard the sound of Amy’s voice, and he strode into the room, only to find Amy and Brent, the latter cowering in the corner of the room and entirely unrecognizable. He hurried over to Amy and wrapped her in his arms with a concerned expression as he asked, “Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Is that… Master Brent?!”
The magic caster who had accompanied Mag to the fifth floor, Roy, suddenly let loose a cry of surprise as he rushed over to the fatso in the corner. He wanted to help Brent to his feet, but the latter was completely curled up into a ball, and he didn’t know where to lay his hands. He was momentarily at a loss for what to do as he turned to Amy with a wary expression, and asked, “Did you do this to Master Brent?”
Brent! Mag turned his attention to the fatso in the corner. He had been so severely disfigured that Mag didn’t even recognize him at first.
He’s a 10th-tier magic caster, and he’s in home territory here in the Magus Tower; who would be powerful enough and have the courage to do this to him? What could’ve possibly happened here?
A string of questions surfaced in Mag’s mind as he sifted through all of the powerful beings in Alex’s memories. However, aside from Krassu, he couldn’t think of anyone else who had the guts and the power to do something like this.
Mag also turned to Amy. Perhaps she had seen what had just happened.
“I saw that this door was open, and I thought it was the exit, so I came in. He was already like this when I got here, and I was just passing by,” Amy replied with an innocent shrug.
Roy looked at Amy, then at Brent, and he quickly believed Amy’s story. After all, Brent was a 10th-tier magic caster, and no matter how freakishly talented this little girl was, there was no way that she would be able to reduce Master Brent to such a miserable state. Master Krassu was probably the only one on the entire continent who would dare to hand Master Brent such a severe beating here in the Magus Tower.
However, Krassu was still on the first floor of the tower, so this clearly had nothing to do with him. Who was it that had snuck into the Magus Tower, then?
A shiver ran down Roy’s spine. If someone really had infiltrated the Magus Tower, and then assaulted Master Brent in such a horrendous manner without anyone noticing, then the Magus Tower was no longer safe! He had to report this matter to President Richard right away!
“If you two have nothing to do with this, then please go back downstairs.” Roy rose to his feet and indicated for Mag and Amy to leave. He then strode out the door himself to gather a couple of magic casters to carry Brent downstairs; he required immediate treatment.
“Heh, this Sandstorm Python was a bit more difficult to handle than I expected, but it still only took me two minutes to defeat it, so I broke my last record by about 10 seconds. As expected, I really am a genius!” Kola looked down at the fallen python before stepping through the exit as he said to himself, “That little brat is probably still stuck on the second floor. What was the point of this contest?”
White light flashed and Kola emerged outside with a triumphant smile on his face, anticipating all of the praise he was going to receive for setting a new record. However, the sight that greeted him had his smile completely stiffening on his face.
The little brat who he had thought would still be trapped on the second level had just walked out from the opposite room with her father.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Kola closed his eyes before reopening them, but Amy and Mag were still standing before him. However, on this occasion, Roy had also emerged from that room.
“H-h-how could this be?!” Kola’s eyes widened with incredulity. Amy was also on the sixth floor, so did that mean that she had also successfully passed the fifth level? And she had done so faster than he had?
Impossible! There’s no way anyone can be faster than me! Kola shook his head, and a thought suddenly occurred to him as he turned to Roy with a smile, and asked, “Brother Roy, you must’ve rescued that little girl from the fifth floor, right?”
“No, she passed the fifth level by herself, and it only took her 80 seconds.” Roy looked at Kola as he said in a rushed voice, “Hurry up and go downstairs.”
He then brushed past Kola and hurried away. The tower ascending match was completely insignificant compared to the alarming incident that had just taken place.
“80 seconds?!” Roy’s words were like a hammer blow to the head, instantly shattering Kola’s confidence and leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
He had broken his own tower ascending record on several occasions, and everyone was referring to him as the exceptional prodigy who would match the elven princess in the future.
He was an extremely proud person, but he had just been defeated by a four-year-old little girl in the area that was supposed to be his forte. This was too heavy a blow for him to handle.
“Did you just come out, Big Cabbage? I’ve been waiting for a long time. You have to keep working hard so I don’t have to wait as long next time,” Amy encouraged with a smile.
“I… I…” Kola stumbled back as he clasped his hand over his heart, feeling as if he had just been stabbed in the chest.
“Let’s go.” Mag made his way downstairs with Amy’s little hand in his.
After rounding the corner, Mag picked up Amy in his arms, and quietly asked, “Amy, what did you see in there?”
Roy had believed Amy’s story earlier, but Mag could sense that she was hiding something.
Amy looked around to verify that there was no one nearby before whispering in Mag’s ear, “Father, I saw a super beautiful elf beating up a baddie, and she invited me to join in. She really was a super beautiful big sister.”
“A beautiful elf?” Mag faltered slightly upon hearing this, and a thought suddenly occurred to her. Aside from Krassu, there was someone else in this world who was powerful enough to assault Brent in the Magus Tower without being noticed.
Mag suddenly felt his throat go dry, and his heart rate accelerated as he asked, “Did she tell you her name?”
