In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Violent, barbaric... as if completely abandoning reason, the strange flames slowly ignited Maria's battlefield!

This made Maria's pupils move slightly.

"Beast transformation..."

She didn't want Aifanil to abandon his surname, and her worries about it finally happened.

At this moment, although Aifanil, who was standing in front of her, still maintained his human appearance, his pupils were shrinking extremely unstably.

Her blood is both a blessing and a curse.

As mentioned before, the name Cainhurst is Maria's protection.

On the one hand, it is directed externally to prevent any hostile attacks from any superiors with ulterior motives.

On the other hand, it is so that Aifanil can suppress the beast blood in his body.

Aifanil's situation is really special, so special that from the moment he appeared, he has the potential to become a beast.

The surname is the amulet that suppresses all of this.

All of this should have been gradually suppressed as time passed and he grew up... As for whether he could overcome it, that was another matter.

And now, after Aifanil voluntarily gave up his surname, he finally exploded under Maria's high pressure.

And this also means...

"It is over, Alphanil."

Maria said, stepping forward slowly.

But at this time, Aifanil seemed not to have heard these words. His face was calm and his body was straight.

He just stared at Maria like that.

From this point of view, Alphanil is actually quite similar to Maria.

Both of them are the kind of people who become calmer in extreme situations... Of course, this calmness cannot make them realize how extreme their thoughts are at the moment.

On the side, Lamaren also noticed something unusual and stood up with a serious look.

But Maria just looked away.

Shake his head slightly.

"give it to me……"

Maria spoke softly and convinced Lamaren.

In fact, she was the only one who had experience in dealing with this kind of thing.

"Um……"

Although she was a little worried, Ramalen did not panic out of concern. On the contrary, she knew clearly that she really didn't know how to deal with the next situation, so she left the matter to Maria with peace of mind.

Maria wasn't shy either.

She looked at Aifanil in front of her and approached step by step.

The distance between the two people was constantly compressed, and the atmosphere in the air became increasingly tense...

Like a balloon gradually filling up.

No one knows when it will explode!

Maybe a long time, or maybe...

It's now!

Aifanil's pupils shrank and his body suddenly stretched out and moved!

The surging air waves surged out like an ocean, almost drowning Maria!

Faced with such outright hostility from her own offspring, Maria simply stood there coldly, welcoming the bloody charge.

The wind wave, like a sharp blade, made her windbreaker rustle.

At this moment, Aifanil resolutely rushed towards Maria!

With this strike, he wants to prove himself!

The red flames dyed half the sky red, and everyone held their breath.

then……

"Oh!"

There was a muffled sound.

Maria pressed the rebellious offspring to the ground with one hand!

"Ugh——!"

There was hostility in Aifanil's eyes, but Maria just looked at him coldly.

Then, he silently clenched his fists.

Lift it up and swing it down.

"boom--!"

The terrifying roar seemed to explode directly in everyone's ears, yet it also seemed to be very far away.

The different reactions of their thinking and physiology caused them to feel strongly dizzy.

But before they could say anything more, they blinked again.

He and others have returned to the bridge of Rhodes Island!

Maria still stood there, her eyes calm.

But Aifanil had already knelt on his hands and knees, gasping for breath.

Maria did not kill him, but instead punched him in the side, using the threat of infinitely close death to bring him back to his senses.

"You are far from being in need, Elfanil."

Maria said calmly, looking at her child in front of her.

Even in a weakened state, Maria's strength is beyond the reach of Aifanil!

As her offspring, Aifanil did have a higher starting point, but this also meant that what he had to fight against was heavier.

Restrain your desires...

Resist the urge to tear your enemies apart...

Let your blood follow your thoughts and let your body be controlled by yourself!

For this, Aifanil still has a long way to go.

At this time, Aifanil also came back to his senses from that extreme emotion.

He kept gasping for breath, feeling that every muscle, every nerve, and every cell in his body was groaning in pain.

My bones were shaking and breathing became painful.

Although before the battle, he had anticipated that there was still a certain gap between himself and Maria.

But he didn't expect that even at the end, the gap between the two sides was so big that he couldn't see it.

Especially since Maria had just seen his madness... This meant that Maria had definitely never experienced such a situation before.

She also overcame...

Is the gap between her and me really that big?

Aifanil was somewhat unwilling.

But he soon remembered what his mother had said to him before.

The reason why she didn't go out of her way to look for Maria was because she knew that with their current abilities, they were far from being able to help Maria.

This means that Maria has to fight alone.

that……

What exactly is Maria fighting against...

Why was it so big that no one could help her?

When he thought of this, Aifanil felt that the gap between the two sides was getting bigger and bigger, and the whole world seemed to be unfamiliar.

In confusion, he murmured.

"why?"

"…What are you asking?"

Facing this child who was obviously almost broken, Maria still showed enough patience and gentleness.

"You knew from the beginning that I had no chance of defeating you, right?"

Alphanil murmured.

Since Maria knew the result from the beginning, why did she deliberately set so many rules for herself, and even said that as long as he could bypass Maria and get the necklace, he would win?

Isn't this naked humiliation?

Is this the purpose of Maria's visit?

"of course not."

Maria shook her head slightly, as if she could see through people's hearts, and she spoke silently.

"My purpose has been stated from the beginning."

She just wanted to see if Aifanil could really suppress her desires.

But judging from the results...it should be impossible.

"..."

Elfaniel was silent.

Maria also looked at her child in front of her calmly.

She said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.

Almost in an instant, Aifanil began to understand why Maria left him and the others.

If Maria of this level needs to be vigilant when facing that enemy, then if we and others are nearby, we will just be a burden.

In other words, perhaps Maria's departure was not really as he imagined, that she simply abandoned himself and his mother?

Alphanil was slow in thought.

Meanwhile, Ramalen came out with some complaints.

"I do not need……"

Aifanil was just about to tell his mother that he was actually fine, but he was stunned to see that his mother walked directly to Maria's side and started complaining.

"How could you be so harsh? I thought you were going to really hit Elfaniel..."

"I've considered that."

Maria answered seriously...she had indeed considered it.

But because there was a better way, she chose to give up.

"Forehead……"

Aifanil stared blankly at the parents who were communicating here, and suddenly felt like he was the extra one.

Recalling Maria's devastating blow just now... he couldn't even imagine what would happen to him if that punch really landed on him!

Combined with what Maria said now, she did consider hitting herself directly.

Maybe...Maria didn't abandon her mother.

Just... simply abandoning yourself?

Aifanil's expression was subtle.
