Evolution: From Litt Chapter 391: Backlash

Chapter 391: Backlash

The branches of the tree rustled violently.

Although there was no wind in the demi-plane, the branches and leaves began to move at an astonishing rate.

If other people were here to witness this scene, they would be dumbfounded and want to investigate the reason.

However, Liora knew that the tree was not actually moving.

Instead, this was the result of the time around the tree passing at an extraordinary speed.

Although only a mere second had passed in the outside world, the tree had experienced several years all at once.

Its movements were merely the result of it growing and gradually aging.

Liora watched this operation silently.

She could sense that the life force of the tree was gradually growing stronger.

However, it didn’t use it to grow taller or to extend its roots, but instead provided it as nourishment to the Reincarnation Fruit.

The fruit quickly grew more and more round, while its smell became even more tempting.

Soon, Liora found it difficult to contain her impulse to pick it off.

However, she ultimately succeeded.

This time, not because of the strength of her will, but because an intense pain suddenly assaulted her soul and body.

A cracking sound echoed in her ears and jolted her awake.

As Liora took her gaze off the tree, she realized that the Snake of Time around her was shaking violently.

Like a piece of wood that could not withstand the heavy weight, it began to tremble and rapidly crack.

Since the Snake of Time was created through a technique and was effectively a part of her soul, Liora was also affected.

Her head felt as if it had been smashed by a hammer, while her body quivered, as if mimicking the Snake of Time’s state.

This was the first time that Liora had suffered a backlash since she obtained the Snake of Time.

Even when she used it to speed up Alpha’s time and help her awaken, there had not been such a situation.

However, Liora guessed the reason.

At the time, Alpha had been unconscious and had thus not put up any resistance.

Moreover, although her strength was at the Greater Devil stage, her status was significantly lower than the tree.

How could a tree that could give birth to a Reincarnation Fruit be ordinary?

Even if it possessed no strength, its nature was extraordinary.

"Fortunately, I had already predicted that this would happen.
