Chapter 89 - 89: Gwyddiens Realization (1/2)

Gwyddien slightly tilted his head as he stares at everyone's dumbfounded expression. He can't understand their strange gazes as they looked at him.

'Are they making fun of me...? Did they drag me here to make fun of me?' he thought.

He lowers his head to hide his gloom expression as he drowns on his negative thoughts. Everywhere he is, people tend to make fun of him.

He thought they were different, but he can't believe he was mistaken to trust them. He sniffs as he holds his tears that start to well upon his eyes.

”Stop! Give him a break, Eirwen.” Eu said.

She interrupted him from teasing Gwyddien for failing to understand her intentions. She also had a feeling Ivy also didn't inform him of the reason why they were there.

”I assume, Ivy didn't mention to you either? This is her idea.” Eu explains.

Gwyddien looked at her with a perplex expression. He can't believe his Guardian Spirit, Poison Ivy, is behind this fiasco.

”What do you mean...?” Gwyddien asked.

”She wants to introduce you to the elders. Act more confident.” Eu explained as she sighs.

Despite their time restraint schedule, Eu needs to reconsider and tag them along. It won't hurt sparing a brief time to grant Ivy's request.

Trents are influential earth spirits, and their network reaches from beyond. They are one of the few who weren't bound by the Division of Realms.

They exist and learned to blend with those around them. They didn't cause conflict and remained passive and supportive.

If Gwyd earns their respect, he can channel their powers as well. His abilities will be more diverse from merely casting protection and few offensive spells.

”Ivy wants me to finish a Trial and earn their approval? Why? Didn't I leaned enough from you?” Gwyddien asked questioningly.

The others scratch their heads as they try to understand him. They can't believe how dense he is or he just plain stupid.

How can he not still get it after all the information Eu has given him?

”Seriously, Gwyd? Do you want me to spell it out to you?” Eirwen asked in disbelief as he heaves a heavy sigh and continues, ”You are an Earth Witch. Don't you want to meet the Earth Spirits Elders? It's not every day they will grant you an audience. Not everyone is given such an opportunity.”

”Earth Spirit Elders?” Gwyddien mumbled, still confused about the situation.

He wasn't even aware such a thing exists. He assumes Guardian Spirits are drifters, and that is why they chose to serve them.

'You are unbelievable. We live in a civilized community. How can you assume we are not?' Ivy refuted.

She finally made an appearance as she wanted to reprimand her master and break their contract. She can't believe, Gwyd thinks Guardians are such lowly creatures.

”Let us stop discussing this matter. We are pressed on time. We need to go back before Noite's men make their move.” Eu straightforwardly said.

Eu raised her hand and cast a spell. The Trents are not being cooperative and change to a much aggressive approach to lure them out.

On the other hand, Di'Anon widens his eyes as he noticed her attention. His eyes widen in disbelief as chills start to crawl on his spine.

He can only sigh as the feeling of deja vu began.

'She is not seriously doing this again, is she?' Di'Anon thought.

Though he is kind of upset, he is also anticipated it to happen. Working with her is always a series of unexpected occurrences.

Who is bold enough to conflict with an entire clan? He never met anyone like her.

Meanwhile, bright light envelops them. Eu decided to hasten the pace and broke their illusion spell to enter their territory.

She has no time to play games and wait for their approval. Why wait when she has the ability to break their restrictions?

She decided to force her way in and negotiate. They are unreasonably stubborn, ignoring her calls.

How dare they?

At the same time, everyone was overwhelmed and quickly shut their eyes to protect themselves from the blinding light. They can feel the changes around them as the warm light envelops them.

The night is chilly as they wander around the forest. Eu's magic is warm and comforting as they feel the crumbling spell around them.

They felt hostile entities gather around them as soon as the Eu finished casting the spell. It also felt like they are no longer on the dark, dense forest as they hear the gush from a falling water source.

The smell of foliage is also different. It is far from the musky scent of the dense Southern Forest as the feeling of uncertainty overwhelms them.

Gwyddien slowly opened one of his eyes and took a quick peek of his surroundings. He blinked a few times and adjusted to his surroundings.

As expected, armored men were surrounding them, but still, its a scene he didn't anticipate. Their spears were pointed at them as if they have done a grave sin.

Eu is standing in front of them and unfazed by their hostile welcome. Gwyddien has never seen her use her powers, and he is simply awestruck.

He can see Eu's unique magic swirling around and protecting them. He never expected that she is not only knowledgeable but a formidable opponent.

He always thought Eu is only saying empty threats to scare him. Now, Gwyddien has proven Eu is simply someone that can't be taken lightly.
