Chapter 325 Orcs will never be slaves!
William couldn't imagine how Alice, a mid-level Soulmancer, managed to frighten two legendary fantastical creatures into trembling.
Of course, without his earlier intimidation, Luna would never have obediently taken a bath.
After the two little ones had bathed, they lay pitifully on the soft big bed, especially Luna, who curled up like a freshly bathed kitten, her whole demeanor deflated.
It wasn't until Alice brought the painting William had given her from another room into the bedroom that the two creatures' eyes began to shine.
Luna didn't recognize the runes in the painting but could already feel that it was at least a magical artifact.
Even in the Underworld, such a painting would cause a fierce scramble for possession.
The painting seemed to have its power sealed, as they hadn't sensed its presence when they entered the manor.
The most surprising thing when seeing the painting was that Luna could faintly feel the residual energy emanating from it.
It was a familiar feeling, like the energy she felt when she received divine power from her father deity.
"This painting is really amazing!" Alice hung the framed painting on the bedroom wall and stood there, patting her hands in satisfaction.
Although Alice's abilities had improved a lot, she still didn't have enough insight to comprehend the cosmic truths contained in the painting. She just thought that the painting was indeed very well done.
It was like the jade dragon tendon she wore on her hand. If such a treasure fell into the hands of a Shapeshifter, they would be ecstatic. They might seclude themselves, immersed in its power, even if it took thousands of years to explore and harness it, they would find it worthwhile.
But to Alice, she just thought it was shiny and pretty.
"It's really beautiful…" Luna looked longer and became more amazed.
Could this painting have been done by this woman?
If so, her abilities were indeed astonishing!
Erebus, having previously probed Jayce's memories, recognized the text in the painting.
"To my disciple Alice..."
Erebus was truly scared out of his wits!
He knew Alice's name as well.
How could such a terrifying woman have a master? What kind of being would her master be?
In any case, the two little ones are quite scared
Alice sat on the bed, looking at the painting on the wall, giggling stupidly.
The painting didn't really mean much to her,she chuckled for a while and then habitually looked at her phone, sending a message to William.
"Master, you won't believe it, but these two little ones are afraid of bathing."
William didn't reply to the message.
"But I still gave them a bath, hehehe!"
"You don't know, but right now, those two little ones are staring at your painting in a daze. It seems that appreciating art knows no age!"
William still didn't reply.
He glanced at the message and knew that Luna and the others probably wouldn't dare lay a hand on Alice now.
Using ordinary water to bathe a phoenix, that's really quite bizarre.
However, it seemed that some changes were happening now,the stability of the surrounding parallel dimensions was increasingly compromised. It looked like the near future might involve more than just a resurgence of energy.
All these parallel dimensions are built upon our Prime World.
If there's any problem with some of their structures, it could lead to these dimensions suddenly appearing on Earth one after another, turning our planet into a sort of cross-dimensional junction.
And with that, there would come the creatures from those dimensions!
Could it be that all of this was caused by that thing William expelled from his body?
If William wanted to stop all this from happening, it actually wouldn't be too difficult. Whichever parallel dimension descended, he could simply slap it into oblivion...
But wouldn't that be a bit too bloody?
Especially since some of these dimensional beings had already been wiped out once by him, managed to reconstruct their physical forms from their souls, only to be annihilated again?
"Forget it." William decided not to think too much about it and continued to watch his TV series.
The next morning, Alice took Luna and Erebus to William's yard.
Alice's mood was still unsettled because when she woke up in the morning, she found that the two little ones hadn't slept at all.
They had been staring at William's painting the whole night!
And they still seemed very spirited!
Luna and Erebus left Alice's bedroom very reluctantly. If it weren't for Alice's terrifying image in their minds, even dragging them out would have been impossible.
Just in one night, Luna experienced a breakthrough in her strength.
Erebus benefited greatly as well.
They were already top-tier Shapeshifters in the underworld. For Shapeshifters, especially those of strong bloodlines like theirs, breaking through their power limits was difficult. It required either the accumulation of time or a stroke of luck.
William's painting, depicting a bird and containing universal laws within its runes, naturally related to Luna and could help her improve her power.
Faced with such a painting, how could they possibly sleep?
Consequently, although they were somewhat afraid of Alice, they were more eager to stay in her bedroom.
That feeling of breaking through limitations was truly beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
"Sister, when can we go back to your bedroom?" Luna had truly become obedient now.
"Orcs will never be slaves!" Even with food and lodging provided.
But what if it also helps to enhance strength?
"We just came out, didn't we?" Alice, carrying various groceries, said, "You guys need to be good, and after we eat, I'll take you to the amusement park, okay?"
"An amusement park too?" Luna only wanted to stay in Alice's bedroom,she didn't want to go anywhere else.
"How about it? Happy, right?" Alice, completely missing Luna's hint, chuckled and said, "I'll cook something delicious for you two later."
"Oh, that does sound quite pleasing."
"From your tone, it seems like you're not very happy?" Alice turned to look at Luna.
Luna quickly squeezed out a sweet smile.
She perfectly embodied what a forced smile looked like.
As they entered William's courtyard, the children's expressions filled with curiosity and excitement again.
Different from the spacious Turner family mansion, this courtyard, though small, radiated a magical atmosphere as soon as they stepped in.
The old oak tree in the yard almost seemed to turn into a sprite, and the energy residue on the rocking chair under the tree was indescribable.
Could it be that Alice usually lives here, and the shabby mansion they were taken to yesterday was just arranged for their accommodation?
At this time, William hadn't gone to school yet, so with Alice bringing people over, he reluctantly agreed to make breakfast for them.
To show off her skills, Alice also followed into the kitchen, letting the two children play freely in the courtyard.
Luna couldn't wait to sit in William's wingback chair, feeling the energy residue emanating from it.
If she could sit in this chair and gaze at that painting to understand the method of power enhancement, how quickly could her strength break through?
Erebus stood beside her, his hand also touching the chair.
He was starting to waver now,staying with a super-powerful being like Alice seemed to be a pretty good idea after all.
