章 76: Yes Mam

Now that Maria had a goal and actually used mana to basically unfreeze things around her, she reached her destination sooner than later.

And that destination being north, as she wanted.

She’d seen something in the north.

A tree.

A tree tall enough to not be under the snow.

And also, large enough for her to see it from above.

“Now what though?” Xermohensier said.

“We could burn it down and see if it has any hidden stairways or-”

Quite a large tree, pine-like.

Lots of branches.

The base of the tree was large enough to fit a whole cow inside.

But that was about it.

Just a tree. A big tree but a tree regardless.

“Burn? Please don’t,” the orb sighed. “We could just-”

“It took you longer than I expected.”

Flap! Flap!

Snow swirling-

Something large descended from the tree-

That devil.

Maria gave it a dry glare. “Oh nice, you came back to be pulped.”
