The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Old Woman

At the moment she heard the sound, Raven immediately looked towards its source.

However, it took her a few seconds, even with her eyesight, to see a figure in the dark corner of the cell, almost as if the entire person had blended into the surrounding darkness.

The old woman’s body was withered, her face covered in wrinkles, like a dead tree that could die at any moment from lack

of water.

The little fox stared at the old woman, his voice cautious in Raven’s mind. “Be careful! I didn’t feel any sign of life in her. If she hadn’t spoken up, I wouldn’t have noticed her at all!”

Raven didn’t reply. The little fox didn’t sense anyone around, and neither did she.

The reason she chose to open the Star God’s Book after coming here was that she didn’t want to be seen. She didn’t expect that what she didn’t want to happen would still happen.

As if seeing Raven’s concern, the old woman said, “Little girl, don’t worry. I mean you no harm.”

Raven stared at the old woman for a few seconds, then flipped her hand, and the book disappeared from her hand.

Afterward, she got up and walked to the pillar that separated her cell from the old woman’s.

Through the gap between the pillars, she gazed at the old woman next door, her eyes betraying no emotion.

The old woman, feeling Raven’s oppressive gaze, smiled faintly and said, “Girl, how about we make a deal?”

Raven looked at the old woman indifferently. “What kind of deal?”

“Give me your book, and I’ll give you ten elemental Starcards or one spe al Starcard.”

Raven raised her eyebrows, a faint smile suddenly appearing on her previously emotionless face.

She said, “I’m interested in the Starcards you mentioned, but I can’t give you the book.

“How about another deal? For example, all the Starcards you have in exchange for me letting you live for decades longer?” The moment Raven’s voice fell, the old woman’s gaze, which had been like that of an elder looking at a junior, underwent a subtle change.

But soon, the old woman sighed almost imperceptibly, looking at Raven and shaking her head slightly. “My time is coming. Even if you possess the most exceptional medical skills, you can’t save my life.”

“My time is coming. Even if you possess the most exceptional medical skills, you can’t save my life.”

Raven curled her lips into a slight smile. “You chose to stay in this dark and desolate place, not because your end is near, is it?”

As she spoke, a hint of undetectable bewitchment laced her tone. “Do you wish to see the sunlight again?”

“Do you wish to see the sunlight again?”

The old woman was slightly taken aback, her gaze towards Raven suddenly gaining a hint of seriousness. “Girl, what do you mean by that?”

Raven smiled faintly. “You’ve been consumed by the Dark Starcard. Without me, you’ll never see the light of day again. “You’ve been consumed by the darkness of the Starcard. Without me, you’ll never see the light of day again.”

“Furthermore, if you continue to linger here, you won’t live past three months.”

Upon hearing this, the old woman fell silent.

After a few breaths, she looked up at Raven, her expression complex. “Little girl, how did you see that?”

Raven replied indifferently, “How I saw it isn’t important. What’s important is that I can not only save your life but also restore your body to its peak state, given enough time.”

The old woman looked at Raven, her gaze flickering slightly. “How can I believe you?”

Raven didn’t answer the old woman’s question. Instead, she raised her foot, clad in a specially made combat boot, and kicked hard at the pillar in front of her.

A specially made electrified metal pillar suddenly broke.

At the same time, the fierce wind brought by them

At the same time, Raven’s voice suddenly reached the old woman’s ears. “L you. You can only choose to believe me. If I lose, I will naturally find a way to prove myself to you.”
