A zenith ant.
It didn't take a genius to figure out that the woman standing before Konrad's party was nothing less than another zenith ant in human form. Though, this one appeared a few centimeters taller than the average zenith ant Konrad had come across.
Of course, in this case, such petty detail mattered not. What truly gripped his attention was the realization that despite her standing right in front of him, he couldn't feel this woman's presence. It was almost as if she stood in a warded world of her own.
Reminiscing his previous clash with the demons, Konrad quickly grasped the reason.
"She possesses at least one Withering Leaf."
He silently realized. Those were alarming news. Regardless of that woman's cultivation, as long as she summoned a withering leaf, she could invalidate one of his crewmates' cultivation. With a second one, she could seal the same person's physiques, and with a third, their bloodline.
