Chapter 66 - 66: Divine Witch Circe (2/2)

Not long, she finally touched down on the ground and appeared before everyone. Gwyddien is already standing beside Captain Jairu and the others.

”Greetings. I am the Divine Witch Circe.” she calmly introduces.

Her gentle voice is like music to their ears. She resembles an angel who descended from the sky.

”It was an honor to be in your presence Divine Witch Circe...” Captain Jairu said as he bows his head.

”Please, you don't have to be so formal. I came in unannounced. I hope I didn't appear too intimidating...” she chuckles.

”You saved us. Please accept all our gratitude. We all welcome you in Mystic Spirit…” Jairu said.

His face is flushed as he stands before her bewitching presence. In fact, all the men are simply attracted to her.

They kept on showering her with compliments as they converse with her. They haven't met someone as beautiful as Eu. She is extraordinary by standards.

'Ah, just drop all the pleasantries already!' Lumina chimed in after enduring their exchanges.

She spoke via telepathy directly at the Divine Witch Circe, who seems to enjoy herself. How long does she intend to drag that conversation?

Her beauty? Her prowess? Her sudden arrival?

'Ah, please. Just spare me already!' Lumina complains.

She shifted her attention to the cuddly beast resting on the rock nearby. The Divine Witch Circe narrowed her eyes as she observes the familiar presence before her.

Meanwhile, the Divine Lord Foeni and Haru finally arrived. He is quite surprised to see her, but he can only assume the Divine Witch is behind the exemplar display.

”Greetings, Divine Witch. I didn't know you are here... This is indeed a surprise.” the Divine Lord said as he approaches her.

”It won't be a surprise if I announce my sudden visit.” the Divine Witch responded helplessly.

In truth, she had no opportunity to announce her visitation. She had to immediately leave her palace upon acceptance of the Messenger's so-called favor.

Days ago, the Messenger came and asked her to go to Limes Temple at this exact moment. She had to leave her duties and travel at once to accommodate her.

Much to her surprise, the Shadows came in overwhelming numbers. She didn't expect anything so ominous to happen upon her arrival.

Then again, what surprises her most was her little apprentice, Gwyddien, who is taking in charge of the situation. She can't help herself not to observe his growth.

It was never a mistake to send him here. It was less than a year, and yet he has grown so much already— mentally and spiritually.

The Divine Lord looks around, expecting to see Eu among them. He was relieved upon seeing her absence but didn't miss Lumina's presence on the rock.

”Lumina, where is your Mistress?” the Divine Lord asked.

Lumina gets up and stretches her body and complies with his call.

”Didn't you request her to rest? She is resting, duh...” Lumina coldly responded.

The Divine Witch is most surprised by her action. How can a mere, Majestic Beast act so informal?

She was about to reprimand her lack of respect to the Divines, but the beast has an intimidating aura she cannot explain.

It seems like she is someone even a Divine cannot cross. She creases her beautiful brows at her, unable to utter a word.

”I only respond to my Mistress. Be thankful I bother to respond.” Lumina continues while she looks at the dumbfounded Divine Witch.

She jumps as she floats ahead of them and returns to her Mistress. Time seems to frozen until she left the grounds.

The Divine Witch decided to break the awkward atmosphere and shifted her attention to her young apprentice.

”You have grown Little Gwyd. I can see you've been training well.” the Divine Witch commented.

Gwyddien's face lit up upon hearing her acknowledgment. Despite being forced to undergo Eu's mentorship, it was all good on his part.

”Hehehe...” Gwyddien smugly smiles and continues, ”You tirelessly put your faith in me. I intend to make you proud.”

Captain Jairu can't help himself to spoil his moment. How can he act as if he volunteered and willingly undergo to everything?

”I do hear you cried a lot, though. You even attempt to escape. Even your Spirit Guardian occasionally wh.i.p.s you back to your senses…” Captain Jairu chimed in as he bursts into a fit of laughter.

He recalls he had to drag Gwyddien to the battlefield. He also had an urge to tie him into the pole to restrain him and prevent him from escaping.

How can he pretend so cool in front of the Divine Witch?

The Divine Witch smiles, as she recalls an old tale, she once heard. She shifted her gaze at the Divine Lord Foeni.

”Then, he is someone like a person I used to know. I think he'll continue to become an exceptional witch.” she chuckles.

Meanwhile, the Divine Lord heaves a heavy sigh as he listens to them. He wanted to rush into the Temple and check on Eu, yet he doesn't want to act impolite in front of the guest.

”Please, let us discuss matters inside. Let us not stand here. It's cold…” he rambled.

The Divine Witch Circe nods as she accepts his offer. He has a point, and she knew the Divine Lord was not there to welcome her.

The Divine Lord Foeni disappears with his quick long steps to his real destination.

Gwyddien escorted the Divine Witch Circe, while everyone else follows.
