Chapter 399 - 400: You... Have You Seen Me?
The Abyssal Demon Whale King’s fawning and ingratiating words fell like a stone into the sea, not stirring a single ripple in Isabelle’s heart.
All her attention had long been firmly attracted by the black-haired young man standing in the ruins, holding The Little Mermaid protectively.
The familiar eyebrows and eyes, the deep gaze, the posture upright even under such overwhelming pressure...
How similar he is to the human man she caught a fleeting glimpse of in the fragments of time!
Though his aura is younger and his prowess far from the unfathomable depth of the person in the fragment.
Yet that familiarity from deep within her soul left her utterly certain —
It is him!
At this moment, Aster Grant also cast all his attention on this suddenly appearing, incomprehensibly powerful Dragon Clan woman.
The dragon horns, dragon tail, all testified to her pure Dragon Clan bloodline.
This was the target he had been seeking diligently!
However, when he caught a glimpse of the Abyssal Demon Whale King trembling beneath the dragon’s might, even trying to curry favor, his heart sank.
From the beast’s previous words and its current submissive stance, it was clear that it knew this Dragon Clan woman, perhaps even served under her.
If that were true, then they had walked right into a trap and stood opposed to this terrifying dragon entity.
Trouble is coming..."
Aster Grant’s Adam’s apple subconsciously bobbed once as he swallowed a gulp of saliva.
And Isabelle slowly returned to herself from the initial shock.
Looking at the face within reach, words stuck in her throat.
She wanted to ask Aster Grant immediately:
"What is our relationship really? Why is my memory filled with you? Why did you appear on that battlefield?"
But when she saw the undisguised confusion, unfamiliarity, and defensive wariness in Aster Grant’s eyes...
All the questions about to spill out she swallowed back forcefully.
His gaze was clearly that of looking at a completely unfamiliar... existence.
He did not recognize her.
This realization was like a basin of icy water, extinguishing just ignited hope in her heart.
A difficult to describe sense of loss and dejection welled up, Isabelle sighed silently, with a hint of resignation:
"...Perhaps this is destiny."
Seeing Isabelle’s complete lack of response, the Abyssal Demon Whale King thought she was unwilling to act personally, so it spoke up again:
"Please relax, my lord! It’s all these reckless humans causing a commotion here, disturbing your important affairs!"
"These ants, there’s no need for you to act personally, I will clean them up for you!"
Before the words were finished, the Abyssal Demon Whale King turned into a dark blue vicious shadow, suddenly lunging towards Aster Grant and his group!
It wanted to make amends, using the blood of these humans to calm its lord’s fury!
However, its body stopped abruptly midway as if crashing into an invisible, insurmountable wall, freezing in midair!
A terrifying and irresistible force had it tightly shackled!
Isabelle slowly turned her head, her icy golden dragon eyes fell on the Demon Whale King, her voice plain yet filled with a freezing chill that seems to pierce the soul:
"When did my affairs become something for you to meddle in?"
The Abyssal Demon Whale King trembled fiercely as if struck by lightning!
Only now did it fearfully realize it had completely misunderstood!
This mysterious lord seemed to...
Not want to harm that human!
Realizing this, the Abyssal Demon Whale King hastily opened its mouth to beg:
"I’m sorry, my lord, I should not have acted on my own."
"Please spare me!"
However...
Isabelle had already lost her patience.
The previous anger needed release, it was impossible for her to strike at Aster Grant.
So she could only vent it on this little minnow.
She shook her head slightly, then waved her hand lightly.
In the next moment.
The Abyssal Demon Whale King’s body started to rupture and disappear under this force.
Its eyes were filled with terror, yet it could not utter a single word.
It could only watch its body gradually vanish.
A dominant beastlord ruling the seas, with strength reaching Totem Tier Five, thus was extinguished in both body and essence, as if never existing.
Seeing this, Aster Grant’s heart grew even more vigilant.
A Totem Tier Five vicious beast had no ability to resist in the hands of this Dragon Clan woman.
This also meant Lazuli and Vera, in the hands of this dragon, were no better off.
As long as the dragon decided to strike at the two Beastbond creatures, their fate would be the same as the Abyssal Demon Whale King.
The two Beastbond creatures also found their bodies becoming paralyzed.
They knew the Demon Whale King’s strength better than anyone.
Yet in the hand of this suddenly appearing woman, it was easily obliterated.
Lazuli’s deep voice arose:
"Master, soon Vera and I will go forward to hold back this woman, you have Sally take you and quickly leave!"
In the ruins of the Chronospirit Clan, Sally could use time acceleration to achieve incredible speed.
Therefore, as long as the two could delay the woman for a single moment.
Perhaps their master could successfully leave!
However...
Isabelle seemed to see through the intentions of the two Beastbond creatures.
She merely waved her hand lightly.
Lazuli and Vera, even Sally and the Snow Maiden, felt their bodies suddenly lose response.
No matter what actions they attempted, there was no slightest reaction.
Witnessing this, the few Beastbond creatures shouted in an instant:
"Master, quickly leave!"
But Isabelle, hearing these voices, grew seemingly annoyed.
She waved her hand again.
The Beastbond creatures could no longer make any sound.
And seeing all disturbances disappear, she once again locked her gaze on Aster Grant.
And Aster Grant realized by now, this dragon seemed to have no intention of harming him.
In that case, it meant they could talk.
And just as he was about to speak...
He suddenly noticed that Isabelle had appeared right in front of him.
The utterly elusive moving speed, once again sent chills down Aster Grant’s spine.
But Isabelle carefully examined Aster Grant’s face.
After a moment.
She nodded once more.
No mistake.
Whether the appearance or the aura emitted, it was identical.
Then, looking at the extremely tense Aster Grant, she slowly spoke:
"What is your name?"
Aster Grant was startled by this question.
But instinctively, he answered:
"Aster Grant!"
Hearing the name, Isabelle nodded slightly, silently committing the name to memory.
"Do you know me?"
Upon hearing this query, Aster Grant paused.
Know?
He looked at Isabelle again, absolutely unfamiliar.
Just their first meeting.
He shook his head.
Receiving this anticipated yet still disappointing answer, a faint trace of difficult-to-capture dimness passed through Isabelle’s eyes.
But she did not pursue further, merely stood quietly in front of Aster Grant, in silence.
She did not know what to ask anymore.
This eerie silence weighed heavily on Aster Grant.
He took a deep breath, and looking at Isabelle within arm’s reach, broke the silence actively:
"Did you... see me before?"
...
