Chapter 219: A lifeline (2/2)

Lilia opened her mouth and said: ”Uhm! What is your n--!”

”Let's go,” he said ahead of Lilia's words. He had no time for 'a getting to know each other' thing.

”.....”

Lilia fell silent when he noticed his eyes were peering ahead to the direction where they came from a while ago.

She felt that his eyes were looking at something that only he could see.

'Such a mysterious man,' in Lilia and Achan's mind.

The two ladies glanced at each other and nodded.

Again, from out of thin airs, another black colored bird without feathers had materialized.

They were wondering what he did. They didn't hear an incantation from him. If it was a summon, an incantation or magic seal is a must element to achieve it. Yet, this person just produced them on the get-go without any of those, not even a single word!

The two of them were bewildered as they stared at him with awe.

Although they saw many talented students on the campus, no one among them could summon a beast like this person did.

Anyhow, they were skeptical to ride the bird because of its smooth surface, but after a growling sound that came closer was heard by them, the two immediately hopped on it, out of fear.

Fortunately, there was a long whisker on the bird that seemingly functioned as the rope.

Lilia who was on the front was gripping it with too much strength, probably, afraid to fall. On the other hand, Achan was hugging Lilia's waist.

After seeing them on top of the other bird, he jumped also on the second bird.

Without wasting time, the birds flapped their large wings, and slowly ascended to the sky.

Just right when they left, the two monsters that were chasing after them a while ago had arrived at the time rock.

But all they had seen was the headless corpse of another monster.

The two birds were flying beside each other towards the southeastern part of the mountain.

The pressure of the wind made their hairs dance in the air and they had trouble looking straight, especially that the two girls weren't used to flying.

But the person riding alone on the bird beside them was keeping his silence while unbothered by the wind pressure. The silence among them was nauseating. ”Ahem!” Achan cleared her throat to break the ice that was known as 'Silence'.

He noticed that they were staring at him with a readable face. A face that wanted to ask him.

After successfully grabbing his attention, ”Uhm! May we know your name?” Achan braved herself and asked.

”.....”

”Crimson….. my name is Crimson Agila,” he replied.

”Crimson Agila?” Lilia repeated.

”Mhm!” He nodded.

Thanks to his scout birds that were able to find these two girls when they were running towards the northern part of the mountain while being chased by two fierce-looking monsters. Because if not, these two would be lying as cold corpses in that place.

After his scout birds found them, he immediately summoned his flying mount enhanced fire doll, then flew rapidly towards the area with all the speed that this bird-model can offer.

He even disregarded the call from the raccoon man he left behind without an explanation.

Fortunately, he arrived just on time.

”Uhm, Mr. Crimson…”

”Crimson will do,” he said immediately.

”Uh-- okay. Uhm, Crimson, do you know something about the current situation?” asked Lilia.

”Right, Mister! Did you find the guys who came with us to this place?”

After Lilia asked him, Achan also added.

Yman nodded and told them what happened.

”What? The seniors did it?” Exclaimed Lilia.

”Thankfully, Ran was fine,” said Achan.

Both of them replied differently.

He also asked them about the current situation. However, he noticed the two girls went silent. He narrowed his eyes and thought they were acting suspiciously.

Yman did not force them to answer as it would cause unfavorable reactions from them. The best thing to do at this point was to act as friendly as he could-- for them to willingly open-up to him on their own accord.
