Chapter 209: The old One (1/2)

”Lady Levi!”

”Lady Levi are you okay?!”

Seeing their Lady break down in front of them. Yeva and Wrynn snapped out of their stupor as they panickly ran up to help her off the ground. She was coughing severely and would occasionally cough out blood that made Nadine and the other feel uncomfortable just standing there and staring at them.

Kali also hadn't made any follow-up attack as her orders had only been to protect them in cases of emergency and not attack. She had only attacked simply because she hadn't liked the look on Wrynn's face.

After the beastmen siblings finally got themselves together and administer a potion to the dragonkin named Lady Levi. Her coughing fit finally subsided as her breathing slowly returned to normal and she just needed to rest for a bit.

Seeing as the woman who saved them from any more unnecessary fight would be fine. Jarret quickly signaled for them to leave as he didn't want to be caught in any drama that would most likely keep them from their mission which would end up keeping their master waiting.

As they approached the carriages, Kali returned to their shadow and they didn't bother to ask her any questions. Jarret could guess the reason why Lord Ty had sent her after them. He hadn't noticed her their entire trip and she probably wouldn't have revealed herself to them if a situation like this hadn't occurred.

Her only purpose was to get them out of any situation they were unable to handle themselves and that was only to be expected from someone as great as him, as he had even predicted such an unlikely eventuality.

The only thing that had surprised them was her strength. She felt far stronger than when they had seen her face the ogre chieftain and the evolved trolls in the training hall a while back.

It was unknown if undead creatures could gain more strength with time or if absorbing more negative berg would help but they were sure she was not the same as last time. Nadine was the only one aware of what Kali and Flare had been up to since they left their master's side.

From what she knew, they were supposed to still be in the North part of the Darknar forest investigating the undead army there so she was surprised to see her here. Anyway, perhaps being around such dense negative auras would improve their strength.

Well, it was fine. They all decided to ignore it for now as they helped Jin off the ground and returned to their carriages, prepared to leave.

”Wait!”

'Crap.'

Jarret unwillingly turned his head as he saw the male predatory beastman stand up hurriedly with an embarrassed expression as he bowed his head before them, surprising all of them.

”I apologize for my actions today. I was the one who attacked you first and then tried to kill your friend without even realizing that you're not the one I thought you were. Please forgive this one foolishness.”

”Indeed, you're very foolish.”

”Awk!”

His entire figure was shaking and he seemed like he was nervous. He clearly didn't want to do this but was only doing it because the lady Levi had to ask them to. Even after Jarret's purposeful remark, he just forced himself to bear it.

Although the Jaguarkin didn't stand up as she was holding Levi, she also bowed her head and apologized for her part in all this.

”It's fine. We're in a hurry so we'll forgive you this time. Have a nice day.”

Jarret said that in a way he judged would allow them to leave quickly and it worked as the pair were now too embarrassed to stop him. But of course, there was still someone else there that still could.

”Please wait a moment.”

The dragonkin struggled to stand despite the protest from her companions as he moved to where Jarret was and smiled charmingly.

”I'm sorry about my students. Please forgive them and myself as well as I didn't stop them on time for my own selfish reasons.”

”Like I said. It's fine.”

”I see, alright then. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Leviathan or you can simply just call me Levi for short. These are my students, Yeva and Wrynn Earuak. If you can believe it.”

”Huh. When you said Leviathan you don't mean—”

”Fufu... We would appreciate it greatly if you could help us with something.”

”And what would that be?”

”Well, I recently sensed the disappearance of the Primordial Behemoth of Greed, Mammon, and would like to locate the person that was responsible for ending his life.”
