Chapter 30 - 30: Witch Involvement (1/2)
Haru and Eirwen secure the trembling male witch. His arm is bleeding, and he is beyond petrified.
He thought, a Holy Guardian and two Mystics totally outclasses him. His chances of escape are truly dire. He can't believe he ended up in that situation, and he can't find his voice to protest.
”Since you love crossing Realms, we are bringing you to Mystic Spirit. Don't worry. We Mystics don't normally bite. Don't dare try to escape or else...” Lady Rean warns him.
She dryly laughs as she leads the way. They decided to regroup with the others and interrogate the Witch. She finds the information he will disclose is useful to their cause.
Meanwhile, the young man is almost in tears. He hadn't reached his a.d.u.l.thood yet, and it seems his life is coming to an end.
He can't believe encountering such misfortune. This is his first mission, and he already found himself in such a predicament. He can feel cold sweat trickling into his spine.
The border's custodians didn't dare question the Holy Guardian. She and her companions are bringing in someone— there is sackcloth over his head like its normal.
He can feel the changes in his surroundings and the growling sounds of beasts. His heart continues to quiver in fear as they enter the Mystic Spirit borders.
He can hardly imagine anything favorable that may come to this scenario. His chances are getting thinner every step he takes with them.
”Never divulge any information regarding this matter. Not even to the Divine Lord Foeni.” she said to the guards.
The male witch is stunned in terror. He thought, No one will ever know where he is.
'I am so screwed...', he helplessly thought and continues to tremble.
The Divine Witch Circe has told everyone terrifying stories about Mystic Spirit. She describes them as coldhearted, savages who conceal themselves in human forms.
He can't help his fear to escalate and imagination to run wild. He cannot deny his fear, knowing he is in an unlawful, dreadful place. He started regretting insisting on joining this mission to help retrieve the Magic Mirror.
They finally reached their destination, and Lady Rean requested everyone's presence. They curiously complied and gathered around the frightened, mysterious guest.
Meanwhile, the young witch suspects he is tied on a chair and yet found it unbelievably comfortable. Despite this, he can't help himself from trembling.
The young witch can sense three unmistakable auras around him. There are also five other overwhelming powers and one mysterious person.
His head is muddle while the hopeless scenario overwhelms him. There is no way he can overpower any of them. He is still a witch in training, and he can tell that they are all highly skilled.
'There is no way in the world that I can escape these monstrous beings. Oh, Great Divine Witch, please save your humble servant!' he started chanting on his head.
He is drenched in sweat. Invisible tears are flowing endlessly in his eyes. He can't help not to think that he is really going to die.
Everyone's silence only makes him feel worst. He doesn't understand why they brought him in to be interrogated. He didn't do anything against them, and he posts no threat to anyone.
”I don't want to die. I am too young. I really mean, too young. Please release me, Oh Holy Guardians of Mystic Spirits. Please hear me out… I implore you. I mean no harm… I swear.” he started to beg and rambles his plea.
”Hey Sister Rean, what kind of mental torture did you do to this poor boy?” Freya asked in disbelief.
”I didn't do much. I mean, I really didn't do anything to scare him. We just caught him snooping around. He said that he is a witch from the Middle Realm, so I decided to bring him with us.” Rean casually said.
”No wonder he is so afraid. Release him. We can talk to him without restraints. What can he really do even if he is a high-level witch? He is in the Mystic Realm.” Jin said nonchalantly as he drinks his tea.
Eirwen removed his restraints and the cloth over his head. It took a while for his eyes to adjust.
Not long, he found himself in a very sophisticated room. The calming scent of oils and Lord Azure's tea fills the room.
He is finding the scenario genuinely unbelievable. He quickly scanned his surroundings and saw everyone looking at him quizzically.
If Mystics are savages, why do they have such luxurious accommodation? The Divine Witch's Palace pales in comparison.
He stares at them as his eyes glow in amazement. Mystics beauty is beyond compare. They are simply divine.
He always thought the Divine Witch Circe is incomparable. At this moment, he can't help himself compare her with these heavenly looking beings.
Their complexion resembles very expensive porcelain. Their cheeks and lips have a natural glowing tint. While their eyes are mysterious and captivating, he is simply awestruck.
Gyddien can barely believe he is in Mystic Spirit Realm. If he didn't know, he would quickly assume he in Heaven.
'Tales about man-eating monsters are all lies! I can't believe the Divine Witch Circe actually lied to everyone.' he exclaimed in his mind.
Beasts are different species from Mystics. They might have a beast form yet their highly intellectual and sophisticated creatures.
Meanwhile, the three guardians can't help look at him questioningly. Why is this young man looking at them in such a daze state? There is nothing special about them aside from their given title.
