Chapter 35 - 35: Mystery over Mystery… (1/2)

Lord Azure descended gracefully in front of the Celesea and the Middle Realm Fortress Bordertown. His majestic presence is simply undeniable.

The Witch Gwyddien is teary-eyed as he disembarks his back. He started reluctantly saying his goodbyes.

They might not have the best encounter. He was scared to death at first, but he soon overcomes his fears and enjoyed their company.

Lady Rean rolls her eyes at his exaggeration. He is acting as if they were never going to see each other again after all.

Then again, she probably can't understand humans' emotions. Humans live limited time, and each moment is valuable. He might not have an opportunity to meet them again and all.

”Greetings, Holy Guardian Lords of Mystic Spirit Realm.” a gentle voice spoke as a beautiful pearl white-haired lady steps out from the shadows.

She is wearing white garments over her bright pink dress. Her eyes are crystal blue, and her countenance is simply enchanting.

”Greetings, Divine Witch Circe. It has been ages…” Lady Rean responded.

The Divine Witch Circe nods as she shifted her gaze at Gwyddien, holding the prized mirror. She heaves a sigh of relief upon his safe return.

”Sorry, we have to detain one of your people. He helped us save Lord Turtle. He was indeed extremely helpful...” Lord Azure telepathically informed her.

She turned to the magnificent Azure Dragon Lord with mesmerizing rainbow fluorite eyes. She gently smiles as she nods.

”Worry not. You also help him retrieve the Magic Mirror. I understand it was necessary. I hope he didn't cause you trouble...”

The Divine Witch Circe is indeed a beautiful maiden. Her complexion is pale yet with a pinkish tint. Her aura is radiant, and anyone can be easily captivated by her.

Her thick hooded robe is adorned with sparkling protection crystals and gems. As a Divine, she is blessed to live a thousand years.

”Trouble? Yes, he was indeed troublesome.” Lady Rean said as she rolls her eyes.

Rean is avoiding his eyes while Azure is just silent and hiding a smile. He knew that she has grown fond of this Little Witch and currently in denial.

Freya and Gaust are soundly sleeping. They have reached their limits and needed rest to restore their powers. Sadly they have missed this encounter.

Meanwhile, the Divine Witch nods as she accepts her response. She looked at Gwyddien and knew this young apprentice has managed to win their hearts.

Gwyddien is looking at her pleadingly so that she will not take him back. He wanted to learn more about this mysterious place and spend more time with them.

”What kind of look is that?! Have you already forgotten your promise?” Rean said as she glared at the pathetic witch.

”Ahhh~ Mistress…” he said as he runs behind his Mistress.

Lady Rean sneers while rolling her eyes. This young Witch indeed has tons of negative traits, but he is also irresistibly likable.

The Divine Witch Circe shook her head. Gwyddien is still young, and childish, but she expects him to grow more with his newfound friends.

She approaches the enormous cerulean dragon and checks on their resting companions. She casts a healing spell to restore some of their powers.

”Three of your friends have truly exhausted themselves. It won't be good if they always deplete their magical powers like today.” She advises him.

The Azure Dragon and the White Tiger can't hide their surprise. Who is the other friend she is referring to? There is only one person that comes to mind as the exclaimed at the same time.

”EU!?”

They have their suspicions, and the Divine Witch has confirmed it. They just can't believe it was Little Eu. How can it be possible?

The Divine Witch Circe neither confirms nor denies who is the third friend she mentioned. Still, they have limited people they consider as one.

Even Gwyddien was surprised at her revelation. He didn't expect someone was lending them a hand. Especially not Little Eu.

The Divine Witch smiles as she bows at the two Holy Lords and leaves with her apprentice Gwyddien. After all, there is really nothing more she could say.

Gwyddien hands over the Magic Mirror back to the Divine Witch. His Mistress gratefully receives it as she praises his efforts.

The Divine Witch and Gwyddien entered the gates while they continue to discuss her apprentice misadventures in another Realm.

”Mistress, I can't believe you lied...” Gwyddien whispered.

”Don't tell anyone else. You are fortunate meeting such valuable allies. Not everyone has the same luck as you.” the Divine Witch chuckles as she continues, ”Besides, its troublesome tracking mischievous youngsters.”

The Divine Witch mischievously winks at her apprentice. True that she is just avoiding her people to cause trouble.

As much as possible, she doesn't like to entangle herself with other's affairs. She looks back at the Holy Guardian Lords one last time.

'Getting involve seems like inevitable.' she thought.

”Yes, Mistress. It was a terrifying and dangerous place. Everyone should stay away. Thank you for your trouble...” Gwyddien spoke as she breaks her contemplation.

Meanwhile, in the Mystic Spirit Central, Arcane Palace, the Divine Lord Foeni felt the intense power surge and changes in Celesea. He quickly informed his aides to accompany him to the Bordertown.

He knew the Guardians had encountered a formidable enemy and is quite worried. Though he trusts their capabilities, he shouldn't be too complacent.

Arcane Palace became very busy that night. Everyone is gathering information about the malicious entity.
