Chapter 83: Plunged Into Danger (1/2)
”Junova Undrasil! I dare you to enter my forest!”
A loud and heavy female voice suddenly sounded out from the forest. Aezel took this chance and entered deep into the forest.
”Clova Whitebird! That's a demon I'm pursuing!”
The old man shouted back in anger.
”It doesn't matter! The goddess has given me an oracle!”
The voice returned back with a fierce voice.
”You! Do you dare attack me!? There are 5 Grand Mages in the Capital City right now!”
The old man, or presumably, Junova Undrasil, challenged arrogantly.
”Do you want me to order all of the monsters in this forest to raze your sh*tty city to the ground!?”
The voice responded much fiercer than before.
”Tch. I'll remember this Clova Whitebird! Once the envoy from the empire arrives, we'll see!”
Junova clicked his tongue and shot back angrily.
”Did you just threaten me?”
The tone of the voice suddenly changed. It became filled with killing intent.
”A-I… I- That was just a slip of my tongue. Forgive me.”
Junova immediately stopped his words. He struggled to come up with a reply as terror struck his heart.
”Hmph! Begone!”
The voice snorted and commanded.
”...”
Junova gulped. His violet robe was filled with cold sweat. He flew to the capital city dejectedly.
…
”Hah. That old geezer was stopped by the guardian of the forest. Interesting…”
Aezel chuckled in interest as she flew down. Once they arrived at the ground, she released Lawrend's arm.
”Hahh… Hahh…”
Lawrend panted as that was the most stressful time of his life. It was similar to his previous life's memories when he rode a 'rollercoaster'.
”You're pretty weak for a 'talented' human.”
Aezel sized him up from head to toe.
”That sudden turn almost made me vomit…”
Lawrend replied to her as he supported himself with the tree trunk beside him.
”Well, whatever. From now on, you'll follow me.”
Aezel shrugged her shoulders and said to him.
”Why are you doing this?”
After a while, Lawrend stood straight and asked her. It was puzzling why a demon as strong as her would even capture him.
”Fufufu. You don't have to know. Just follow me, and at the end of our journey, you'll experience bliss you would never experience again.”
Aezel laughed as she replied.
”Why are you even here? Didn't you die at the port?”
Lawrend realized that she wasn't gonna answer him, so he asked her the question that puzzled him the most.
”Die? I survived that blast. It was that old man from before that captured me.”
Aezel replied mockingly. She was not that weak to die to such an explosion.
”Though, what I didn't expect was meeting you again.”
Aezel smirked at Lawrend.
”Certainly, it must be my bad luck.”
