“What… whatever could that be?!” Someone yelled.
“Twilight! You! This is all because of you! Why did you have to kill Mister Sunders’ student so badly and drag us all into your mess?” Someone lost his temper and scolded.
“Something’s coming… something I’ve never seen before…”
“It’s like when we see the world’s consciousness. I can’t lift a finger!”
What they were sensing now was similar to when people were suppressed by the law of nature. The deadly aura slowly condensed into their minds and finally became a thunderous bellow:
“Shava, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?”
What was that? Who was Shava?
Sunders frowned. It was a male’s voice, so… it was not the sutured queen?
“That’s definitely a legendary being! But why here? Isn’t the south void of legendaries for a long time?!”
As people discussed in panic, Lydia looked at the old wizard Kooper and asked in a small voice, “You’re the most cultured wizard here. Can you tell me if that’s really a legendary being?”
Kooper considered and shook his head.
“I’d assume that it’s not a legendary, but… something more than a legendary. I won’t be surprised if it turns out to be something of the same level as a grand demon from Abyss Plane…”
Beyond legendary?
People panicked harder when they heard Kooper’s words. Where were they? How was it possible that they ran into such mighty beings?
Now, they all began to fear for their own lives instead of “watching a harmless incident”.
Another voice followed behind the powerful bellow earlier. “Sir Auri, I’m really sorry I made a mistake! To make up for it, I’ll stay in this filthy place and scout the way for Her Highness! Don’t worry about me, I’ll stay strong!”
It sounded firm and determined. Whoever said that was regretting about something dearly while trying to stay determined. The emotional speech really stood out in this atmosphere dominated by primal fear.
“What is it this time??” People wondered. They did not feel any power from that voice.
Sunders and Flora remained speechless. Unlike the other wizards, they instantly recognized Angor’s voice.
Flora sent a transmission to her professor. “What’s Angor doing? Is he acting in a drama or something? Those words sounded so fake.”
Sunders was just as puzzled. The exaggerating speech did not sound something from his little student who believed “silence is golden”.
Before they could think about the question for long, the mist abruptly vanished.
They watched as the white mist shrank quickly into a whirl and went inside Angor’s shoulder, like water in an unplugged bathtub.
They saw Angor weeping at something as if bidding an eternal farewell to an old friend.
It was only partly true. Angor did bid farewell to something—the green toy owl and the strange amusement park.
Angor, on the other hand, suddenly could not hear Auri’s voice anymore. He looked up and noticed the mist covering him was gone.
And the other people were all staring at him in a daze.
Angor blushed when he thought about the possibility that those people might have seen his “performance”.
His image! So many people were watching!
“Angor?” Flora broke the silence first. “What are you… doing?”
Angor cleared his throat, quickly removed his previous pose, and put up his serious expression.
“It’s nothing. A monster possessed me and I couldn’t control myself. But everything’s fine now, hehehe.”
Angor pointed to something non-existent behind his back, which was not really convincing.
“Is that so? Ha-ha,” Flora laughed in a different manner compared to her usual temper, which probably meant “disbelief”.
“The mist is gone?”
“Did YOU bring all those monsters?”
“Where is that legendary? I mean, something beyond legendary?”
Not minding Angor’s terrible performance, the other wizards were more interested in the more pressing matters.
And Angor could not think of anything to answer them now, so he only stuttered without making much sense.
Twilight suddenly blinked in front of Angor and roared, “You’ve some explaining to do, after causing so much trouble!”
She exerted her wizard aura in her voice. Angor’s legs trembled under the wizard’s might. The woman’s furious gaze immediately brought back all the painful memories.
“Explanation… about what?” Angor tried his best to sound calm, which was already impressive.
“Where were we? What were those monsters? Are you trying to get us killed?” Magic shined in Twilight’s eyes. She cast a Detect Truth spell unknowingly.
Angor went into a trance and opened his mouth to speak, but Sunders woke him up with a loud “HA”.
“Don’t use little ploys if you don’t want to look for trouble,” Sunders approached them and spoke to Twilight with a plain expression.
When he had successfully scared Twilight off, Sunders turned to the other people. “Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t know. As she said, consider this a harmless incident, and keep it that way.”
“Harmless incident?! We lost three guards today, and you said it was harmless?” Twilight protested despite the dread she felt from the gentleman.
Three guards?
Angor looked around and did see three corpses lying not far.
“Well, it’s not me who killed them!” Angor spat.
He just saved the world! People should call him a hero! And he had no idea who those corpses were!
