The real one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Green Goddess’ Teardrop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had obviously never seen the Green Goddess’ Teardrop properly, but they knew it was a big green gem anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?! Get her! No! Shoot her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the roof!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards responded to Venus’ cry and hurriedly moved, and some even shot at Cordelia with their crossbows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was at that moment. A black wind suddenly swept away all the arrows that headed for Cordelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the wind caused by the kick of Jude, who was hiding in a blind spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Let’s go!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Okay!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia communicated with magic before putting away the Green Goddess’ Teardrop and taking out a new big gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moon Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rogue Master’s last treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thank Selene for allowing me to be a righteous thief.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cordelia smiled and gracefully said before she bowed to the audience like a magician and then raised the Moon Crystal high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Selene’s name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goddess of the moon who watched over everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at the moment when Cordelia injected her mana into the Moon Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strong moonlight fell from the sky and shone on Cordelia. Because of the moonlight that acted like a spotlight, Cordelia’s impressive appearance was further imprinted in the minds of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A very bright pink hair and black leather clothes that revealed her nice figure. And cute rabbit ears and tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight that was like a spotlight gradually became smaller before it disappeared, and so did Cordelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She disappeared with the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rogue Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Woaaaah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power of the Moon Crystal, the last treasure of the Rogue Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘You can leap in space three times a day in any place where the moonlight shines.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple yet powerful ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the reason why the Rogue Master had never been caught in the act despite her numerous thefts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How was it? Did you think it went well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You were the best, really the best.
