890 Risk (2/2)

A silver bolt of lightning as thick as an arm glittered in the sky and struck the city gate, breaking the magic defense and splashing the mud.

In the meantime, the space before Fernando twisted, and countless runes gathered into a dazzling, queer gate.

It was Chaos Teleportation!

At this moment, the whole city suddenly glowed. The magic symbols and patterns appeared and piled into overlapping magic circles.

Right when the magic circles were triggered, clusters of mist rose from the Office of Sorcerers and were connected to the magic circles.

Immediately, stars were rising, and the whole city became blurry. Nobody could see beyond one meter.

Fernando felt so drowsy that he passed out before he was teleported.

...

Struggling to open his eyes, Fernando sensed his body again. Right when he was glad that he was still alive, a beautiful and friendly beauty appeared before him.

”Furan, you're here?” Fernando greeted her subconsciously, but he realized that something was wrong the moment he opened his mouth. Why was it a male's voice?

Furan was as gorgeous as a figure painting when she was quiet, and it was a major contrast when she talked. She laughed, and her eyes were cold as she said, ”Why? Are you surprised that a chick has turned into a man? You are a pervert! You turned into a girl and tricked me. You even slept with me!” The more she talked, the angrier she became.

”That… That was a mistake…” Fernando suspected that Furan figured out the function of his belt and nullified it when he was sleeping.

Furan chuckled. ”No, it was not a mistake.”

When Fernando looked at her curiously, she said with a faint smile, ”I asked the Lord of Abyss to perform body modification for you. It will be permanent and irremovable. You will always be a girl. Rest assured. I will take good care of you.”

”Stop messing around!” Fernando only experienced it out of curiosity and never considered a permanent transition. He immediately roared, trying to stop Furan.

”Sleep now. You will always be a girl after you wake up!” Furan giggled.

Fernando tried to support his body, but the scene before his eyes suddenly broke. Darkness arrived and quickly disappeared.

”Antec?” Looking at his friend at a loss, he found himself in a regular bedroom.

Antec chuckled. ”You had a nightmare just now? Tell me. Let me analyze what it is about.”

”Have I been physically transformed by the Lord of Abyss?” Fernando groped his body abruptly, only to discover that it was truly a girl's!

”No,” Antec answered in confusion.

Seeing that the belt was still there, Fernando was immediately relieved. ”Just now, I dreamed…”

Antec couldn't stop laughing when he heard Fernando's story. ”That was the deeply-hidden fear in your subconscious! To be honest, I'm scared of her too. I stole you back as soon as possible because I feared that she might notice something. You'd better go back to Holm early.”

”What happened?” Fernando shifted the subject back to business.

Antec became solemn. ”This is what happened. Stanis was ambushed by 'Aurora Envoy', who ranked the fifth among the night watchers, when he was out looking for materials. He paid a huge price to kill the enemy, but he sensed that he was followed by other enemies. So, not having the courage to return, he secretly hid in Kufuray City.

”However, when he was about to ask for help, he accidentally discovered that Archmage Prince, the Original Fire's most trusted student, had secretly joined the Church and become 'Bright Torch', who ranked the sixth among the night watchers.

”Also, the Original Fire was engaged in an experiment and could not be distracted, and the whole city was watched by Prince. You know what happened later.

”After you passed out, the 'Dream Transformation' that my teacher secretly deployed was activated, allowing him to arrive in Kufuray and protect Stanis. The Original Fire, who came later, tried to capture Prince, but was one step late. The guy blew himself up, and even his phylactery was shattered.”

Fernando frowned. ”Do you mean that something was wrong with Prince instead of the Original Fire?”

That could explain why Stanis was willing to take the risk.
