The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Strange Power

Raven glanced at Tody indifferently without explanation. She simply raised her hand and gently wiped the Starcard.

Suddenly, the wondrous power of five fused elements enveloped the old woman’s body.

Tony’s eyes widened abruptly, sensing the aura emanating from the Five Planets Starcard. “This is…”

Then, as Tony watched in a daze, wisps of the five elements flowed into the old woman’s body along with the silver needles.

As the power of the five elements entered her body, the old woman’s vitality began to recover quickly.

At the same time, the old woman’s withered skin was rejuvenated like a withered tree in spring, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tony stared blankly at the scene before him, feeling like he was in a dream.

He subconsciously raised his hand and pinched his arm.

The distinct pain convinced him that he was not dreaming.

His eyes were fixed on the five–element Starcard in Raven’s hand, his handsome face overflowing with disbelief.

He thought, ‘Aren’t the Five–Element Starcards something out of legend?

‘How could they actually exist in this world, and in the hands of such a young girl?‘

About ten minutes later, the old woman’s body, which had looked to be ninety years old, had recovered to that of a woman in her sixties.

As her body rejuvenated, the old woman regained consciousness. “This…”

“This…”

She raised her hand and looked at her skin. After ten years of little emotional fluctuation, she felt a hint of excitement. Raven put away the Starcard and waved her hand to withdraw the silver needles from the old woman’s body. She then looked at her and said, “I only have one Five–Element Starcard now. It will probably take some time to get the Light Starcard, but even without it, you can live for at least another ten years.”

The old woman’s face had returned to its former calmness. She nodded slightly at Raven, gratitude filling her voice. “My dear, thank you!”

She nodded slightly at Raven, gratitude filling her voice.

As she spoke, the inconspicuous black ring on her finger shimmered faintly.

Then, seventeen Starcards appeared in her hand.

Even Tony, who prided himself on never being short of Starcards, couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath at the sight of the old woman producing so many at once.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the old woman offered all the Starcards to Raven. “These are what I promised you.”

“These are what I promised you.”

Raven’s eyes rippled with surprise at the old woman’s generosity.

In all of Vyrdenia, there hadn’t even been ten Starcards that had ever surfaced.

Yet, this old woman had just brought out seventeen.

Let alone Vyrdenia, even the Astral Empire, which boasted the largest number of Starcards, probably didn’t have anyone who could produce over a dozen Starcards at once.

Raven merely glanced at the old woman without saying anything.

After all, she hadn’t known the old woman for long, and asking rashly might only provoke her.

She would be with her for the next three years, as the old woman had said, so there was plenty of time to ask.

Raven’s gaze then swept slowly over the Starcards the old woman had taken out.

To her surprise, she discovered that among the seventeen Starcards, apart from a Dark Starcard and a special Starcard with a spider web pattern etched on its front, the rest were all fire–attribute Starcards.

Raven reached out and took the fourteen fire–attribute Starcards, leaving the old woman with one fire–attribute Starcard, the Dark Starcard, and the special Starcard.

Successfully unlocked!

Sensing the old woman’s questioning gaze, Raven se faintly. I havent completely cured you yet, and aren’t you supposed to protect me for three years? How are you supposed to protect me if you don’t even have Starcards to defend yourself?”
