Chapter 313: Integrating (2/2)

”You know, boy, having sympathy for an enemy is as good as asking for death.”

Modred spoke lightly. Her tone didn't carry any gratefulness nor was it laced with any of the relief one should have upon escaping death by the hair of their teeth. It was obvious to any semi intelligent individual that Leonel had shown mercy. But, Modred's disregard for her own life was even more surprising.

Leonel slowly opened his eyes when he heard Modred speak.

”Some people would call me quite foolish, yes.”

”Some?” Modred asked with an enchanting smile. ”I think even the few that would do as you did would still call it foolish.”

Leonel looked toward Modred for a long while seemingly trying to see through her. Finally, he stood, brandishing his bow.

”Shall we fight?”

”Why so soon?” Modred asked lightly. ”I'm very curious about the world you are from. Just what sort of place is it?”

Leonel didn't know how to respond to this. Was he supposed to tell Modred that the pain she suffered as a child was just a fanciful story woven by writers? Would anyone be able to accept that about their lives?

”If things go well, then you'll get to experience it for yourself.” Leonel finally said.

Leonel had deliberated over this answer for a long while. He didn't think that there was anything particularly important about his choice of words, he just didn't know how to explain himself so this was all he could say.

However, what he could have never expected was for the whole of the Trial Grounds to suddenly tremble fiercely the moment he spoke the last of his sentence.

Leonel's expression changed. He shot a glance over to Modred, but he found that she was just as confused as he was. It was clear that she also had no idea what was going on.

Without a choice, Leonel pulled out the dictionary. He had to know if the situation had changed.

”What's happening?”

[ *Ping* ]

[ Replying to Seed, Hidden Quest has been completed. The world of Camelot is integrating with Earth's Fold of Reality. ]

Leonel stood frozen.

What? How could something like this happen?

Out of all the possibilities, out of all the thoughts he had, out of all the ways he thought things could go… this was the absolute very last thing he had even considered.

The world continued to rumble as Leonel clutched his bow. He really had no idea what would happen next.
