182 Chapter 182: Phenomenon (1/2)
As Caesar was about to continue convincing the young lass, he could feel her body start to abnormally tremble. The light deep within her body began to permeate out and illuminate the surroundings. It rose into the air and an almost indiscernible pair of eyes appeared on the surface of the light, staring down at Caesar.
It radiated an intense heat and Caesar couldn't help but sweat profusely whilst taking a few steps back, however, the ball of light did not relent. It slowly trailed Caesar's figure and as if it looked down upon his feeble attempts to escape, it laughed eerily.
Suddenly, as Caesar was about to use his authority, he could feel his storage ring tremble and his scythe appear from thin air. It seemed to be larger than before and it gave off a purple hue, it too, possessed a transparent face.
The face embedded deep within the scythe laughed loudly, ”to place so much importance on a mere child,” the face sneered, ”oh how you creatures hiding above the skies have fallen.” It continued and a purplish energy enveloped the piercing light, evaporating it into nothing.
Soon, the blinding light and scythe disappeared into thin air as if nothing had happened. Ginger's body then proceeded collapsed on to the ground. Her clothes were soaked with sweat and she was breathing heavily. Clear signs of a fever presented itself and Ahri shot up from her chair and went to go and help Ginger off of the ground.
She looked at Caesar reproachfully, ”look at what you've done to such a young girl,” she said slightly angrily and propped Ginger up. Ahri, Crowley, and even Elizabeth seemed to be unfazed; they didn't appear to have been harmed by the blinding light.
Confused, Caesar scrutinized the unconscious gal on the ground, he was certain that he had done nothing to her. In fact, he could still feel his slightly irritated skin from the scalding and bright light. If the thing in his scythe had not popped out earlier, it's possible he would've suffered a painful death.
Such an event was not something you could easily look over, as such, he was confused as to how Ahri and the others acted so normally. 'Perhaps, they had not seen it?' he thought inwardly as he elegantly straightened the collars on his suit.
He wiped the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead and crouched down next to Ginger. Her long, vermillion hair was scattered out on to the floor and Caesar used his ice affinity to cool off her abnormally warm body.
Caesar didn't pay Crowley's or Ahri's reproachful gaze much heed and heaved Ginger atop his shoulder, ”I'll bring her to the royal doctor, after which, I'll be heading to my room,” he explained curtly and walked out of the dining room without looking back.
Caesar did as he said and soon delivered Ginger to the nearest doctor who was on duty and then proceeded to head towards his room. Although he was intrigued by the abnormal phenomenon, he wouldn't be capable of receiving any answers by simply inspecting her unconscious body. Not to mention the fact that he was in no mood to court death once again.
Thus, after an exhausting day of traveling, plan making, and manipulating, he decided to get some much-desired rest. He removed the slick gloves covering his hands and turned the doorknob, entering into his room.
It was extremely dark and everything was seemingly where he had left it. His dresser, bed, and closet remained in the same position and a sense of familiarity arose within Caesar. The casual books he had left on his night-stand to the side of his bed were partially open and he walked over.
