BXBX NOVEL 175 Chapter 175
Of course, he didn\'t let his disgust towards the Kenedy Clan show on his face. That would have just scared them more. Soon, the women began talking to Theo, and they asked him to use his ability to clean them as well. After all, it\'s been a while since they last showered.
They felt uncomfortable being in the presence of such a handsome young man. Being in their current condition, it was very embarrassing. Despite being frightened of him, they still had enough courage to make that request of him, although, in the end, they were still just young women.
A young human in her early twenties with light brown shoulder-length hair and a slender, fit figure took the initiative to ask, "Theo, right? Can you tell us where we are and what you intend to do with us now?"
"What\'s your name?" Theo looked at her.
"Oh yes, sorry for my indelicacy. My name is Micaela, I\'m a human who came to live in this city and…" She sighed and said, "Well, never mind, can you tell us your plan?"
Theo nodded and replied, "In fact, I intend to take you wherever you want to go. I don\'t intend to do anything to you, of course. Although, if you want to hide for a while until the Kenedy Clan is destroyed, I don\'t mind providing shelter."
Theo swept his eyes over all of them as he continued, "As for where you are right now… it\'s better if you don\'t know."
They just nodded in response. Though the women and children all wanted to know, they weren\'t foolish enough to defy him by demanding him to tell them where they were.
A young woman… approached Theo very quickly and clasped her hands as she gazed into his eyes. She asked him expectantly, "Is this… is that really true? Are you really going to take us back to our families?"
This young woman seemed to be about 19 or 20 years old. She has long, straight, green hair and her skin was soft and delicate. Although her body wasn\'t that bulky, she had plenty in the right places, and her slender physique made her look beautiful.
Besides, she had pointy ears… this was the first time that Theo had ever seen anyone with ears like hers. They resembled the Elves he knew of from stories in his past life.
"Elftree?" The moment Theo saw her status, he was surprised. She was of the Species: Trees and Race: Elftree. It was the first time he had seen anyone like her.
"Interesting!" Theo thought and began to wonder how she had a human form despite being a tree… "Maybe it\'s like with Magic Beasts? But she\'s only in the Student Kingdom…" Despite being a little confused by her status, he decided not to overthink it right now. Also, he could try to find more information on the internet since he couldn\'t just ask her as long as he only knew of it from the System.
"Yes, it\'s true." Theo replied.

Meanwhile, high above, where no one could see, far above the clouds, a colossal figure was quietly passing overhead.
The strangely dark night acted perfectly like a cloak, while the figure directed its Divine Sense in all directions along with a powerful suppression through the sky.
If you looked closely, the figure was shaped like a draconic bird. If the living things below saw it, they would not think twice and quickly kneel down on the floor, begging for their lives. Such a massive entity was terrifying and so threatening. It was unheard of for it to be in this part of Fallen Star Island.
The size of the dragon bird was gigantic to the point of being scary. The pressure of their Divine Sense and their aura was also very oppressive.
As it flew unpredictably above the sky, its wingspan reached tens of meters wide. Its nimble maneuvers seemed overpowering as if they were the king of heaven.
Through the layer of mysterious purple flame that covered it, effectively blurring its shape, only its size could be seen, preventing others from having an unobstructed view of it.
After some time flying a considerable distance in the sky, the colossal dragon bird stopped! It was hovering above one point, or to be more exact, above the village… looking down at the living beings that lived there… It was then that its eyes flashed, exerting intense pressure on the entire settlement and causing all the natives to vomit blood.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"What\'s going on?"
"Are we going to die?"
"Who\'s doing this to us?"
Muttering and screaming endlessly erupted throughout this village. Some were animals that couldn\'t speak, so they just grunted in response as they moaned in pain.
The colossal dragon bird continued scrutinizing the village below with its pair of menacing eyes.
As it surveyed the village below, their eyes were soon blazing with glee, but because it was so gigantic, this dragon bird turned into a human form. The body was still engulfed in flames, preventing anyone from seeing its real appearance.
Looking in one particular direction and seeing and smelling the familiar scent he sought, this being shot off at an alarming pace. The beings below could only notice something descending from the sky that was surrounded by purple flames and nothing more.
Upon entering one of the village Clans and flying in front of the house in question, this "being" spoke out in an authoritative voice, "Come out! The Great Me wants to ask you some questions!"

"I\'ll finally be able to see my family again!" The Elftree said as tears streamed down from her bright green eyes.
Theo wondered how long she had been away from her family. Her eyes showed a great longing, just thinking about seeing her family again.
Then, Theo swept his eyes to the other women and children. They were a little restless and agitated, but still, they were a bit more comfortable in his presence than before.
Although it seemed like Theo wouldn\'t hurt them and still wanted to help them, it was simply impossible for them to rely on someone they barely knew so quickly. Especially after all they had to go through at the hands of the Kenedy Clan.
"Theo?!" Little Hannah asked, "What do you mean, wait until the Kenedy Clan is destroyed? Are you planning to do that yourself?"
At that moment, everyone started to look at him seriously. They had ignored what he said before as they hadn\'t yet come to terms with their new situation, but they could not believe that a Clan as large as the Kenedy Clan would be defeated so simply.
