Chapter 3543 New Sources Of Energy
Though it may be counter-intuitive to imagine how a woman could have masterminded
everything, that was something that others may tend to overlook and a possibility that did
elude him at the beginning as well.
It was precisely the fact that she was a woman that made her less conspicuous and thus
able to stay off the radar with greater ease.
Levi had not entertained the notion that she could be female before, but the voice he had
just heard proved otherwise.
She may have chosen not to conceal her gender as a direct challenge against me!
Considering the circumstances, it must have made no difference to her now whether or
not to reveal her gender, but perhaps that may have happened sooner than she would
have liked, as she would definitely have shown herself if she felt strong enough. The
timing of that reveal could have been premature.
Since her strategy of using the small to medium spiritual ley lines had been exposed,
she’d surely not continue to target them anymore.
To him, that meant she could very well be switching up her tactics. But apart from the two
super-spiritual ley lines, Levi could not think of any alternative means by which she might
be able to access more energy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI must stop her! I have to put a stop to her growth, and also, uncover her identity as soon
as possible!
“Hahaha…” after Gloria’s departure, she began to laugh maniacally.
That was rather surprising! To think Floyd could still prove himself useful. Looks like I may
not be quite finished with him just yet!
Right now, she had Floyd wrapped around her fingers to the extent that he would be
proactive in trying to keep proving his worth to her.
Subsequently, Gloria’s expression grew solemn.
Ugh, I was so close.
Had she been able to devour all of those small and medium spiritual ley lines, it would
have made it that much easier to cope with Levi.
It was thus extremely unfortunate that Levi should manage to catch on at this critical
juncture.
The manner in which Levi was able to hide amongst the spiritual ley lines intimated that
he might be a much deadlier adversary than I have anticipated.
Having not realized that before, she started to feel the pressure mounting.
If only I could have absorbed the rest of those spiritual ley lines as that would have given
me more confidence. Regardless, that option is off the table now. With Levi keeping watch
over the two super-spiritual ley lines, how else would I be able to continue getting
stronger?
“Damn it! Now I’ve to go and seek out new sources of energy. What a headache!”
Gloria massaged her forehead.
At that moment, Xylas suddenly blurted, “I know where to find more spiritual ley lines,
Master, and two of them, at that! One belongs to the Cetus, and another, the Orthus. Both
of these are considered large spiritual ley lines. Although they are not comparable to those
that lie underneath the Ecclesiastic Order, they must be at least eighty to ninety percent
in scale when put together! Their existence is a tightly guarded secret of the deviant
clans, and no one else knows about them apart from Solocus and myself.”
What Xylas said caused Gloria’s eyes to light up.
Levi may be keeping a tight rein on the Ecclesiastic Order’s spiritual ley lines, but since
the deviant clans do not know where theirs are, they would be less likely to do the same
for their own.
“Splendid! With the spiritual ley lines from the deviant clans, I’d be able to attain the level
that I desire!” said Gloria with a guffaw.
“That’s not all, Master! I also have the magical medicine, magical herbs, and all the other
treasures the deviant clans had accumulated over the years that I feel would be able to

Xylas had arrived at an understanding that so long as he served Gloria and kept himself in
her favor, he would have a more promising future than the one Solocus had previously laid
out for him.
That got Gloria very excited indeed.
“Excellent. In that case, we should set off immediately! Go on and lead the way!”
She could hardly wait any longer.
While Levi was hard at work trying to figure out Gloria’s next move toward seeking out
more energy, he could never have fathomed that she had already addressed her own
woes without breaking a sweat.
Following that, Gloria was about to embrace the next step in her own ascension by laying
claim to the treasures that had been in the holding of the two major deviant clans for
centuries shortly afterward.
The smile on her face was a constant, and the thought of those two large spiritual ley lines
that awaited put her in an even more buoyant mood.
Most crucially, was how well the deviant clans’ whereabouts were hidden. With this place
being their stronghold, there was no way the Ecclesiastic Order would be able to find its
way here.
That meant that Gloria would be able to devour the energy to her heart’s content.
