111 Inside information. (1/2)

When Clara heard Raven, she pondered on her actions. At last, she concluded that her words made sense, and it would be odd for her to express thanks to someone after disturbing them.

”No, I will meet him later.” saying that, Clara turned around and started walking back to her cabin, but not before giving a long and deep look towards Raven.

'Who is she? And what is her relation with him?' Clara thought in her mind. She couldn't help but compare herself to Raven.

The most fortunate or unfortunate, Venessa was finally relieved of the pressure that was pressing onto her a moment ago.

Venessa took that as a cue for her to leave. She hurried behind Clara with her legs still shaking. However, no one could ever know if her legs were shaking because she was terrified or due to something else.

Ozul had retracted his bloodlust only after Clara had gone away. But even he was stunned to feel the mix of emotions from Venessa.

'What a weird woman. She was enjoying that!?' Ozul had sensed fear from her alright, but there was also the emotion of ecstasy in Venessa when he targeted her!

”Whatever...” A couple of moments later, he just shrugged it off. It had nothing to do with him anyway, so he closed his eyes.

He had aimed his bloodlust at Venessa the moment he felt that she was going to attack Blaze. He couldn't let that happen since Blaze was only a Rank-5 mage, it could have seriously injured him.

For him, who could feel the emotions of others, it wasn't hard to project his bloodlust on others. At least not when he had killed hundreds of people while working with Count Oliver.

Some of the mercenaries had noticed this little scene. But even among them, none of them felt when Ozul had directed his bloodlust at Venessa.

As always, Sir Hanry was hiding near Clara to protect her from any dangers. However, as trained as he was in the art of protecting, even he couldn't notice anything.

Only when Venessa had suddenly stopped in the middle of her sentence did he feel a little odd about the situation, but he had no reason to intervene just based on this.

Even if he did intervene, he wouldn't have been able to stop anything despite the fact that the bloodlust would have had less of a paralyzing effect on Hanry.

Other men, such as Clive and his team of hidden mages were even more clueless. However, they didn't care since nothing noteworthy had happened anyways.

Ozul spent the rest of his night in the tent. If he wanted to, he could come out anytime without being found out by Clara, but there was no reason for him to do so. All he could do was look at people, and sleeping was much better than looking at people.

There was no meeting that night. Since the mercenaries already knew what they were going to do, Clive would just occasionally talk with the famous mercenary leaders such as Barry or Orsella.

Instinctively, no weak beast dared to even come near the convoy while there were no stronger ones in this forest.

It was the third day of their journey, and Ozul repeated his routine. He would check up on the situation once in a while before going back to sleep.

Unlike before, on this day, a group of rank-5 Beasts led by a rank-6 Earth Golem attacked the convoy!

Most of the mercenaries had never seen an Earth Golem. Despite being only at the initial stage, the Earth Golem's skin was as hard as any other monster at the peak stage of rank-6.
