120 The towers first level 2 (1/2)

Ed felt things melt into each other. His mind seemed to be lost in a misty forest. Nti Anem's urgent voice seemed to penetrate the mist and reach his ears.

Yes! There was no one but him to fulfil the quest. There was no other outcome but his return. He will leave this mist and return just in time to save her life. That is the only outcome. At this, Ed's eyes cleared.

Seeing that he was better, Ku Jian and Nti Anem sighed a relief. Both wished they could tear Baskii apart as they slapped him a glare.

”What nonsense are you playing at?!” Ku Jian fummed.

Ed turned to look at Baskii dangerously. ”You think I dare not kill you?” he asked.

”Speaking is not a crime.” Baskii said in amusement.

”The next time your energy touches me, I will grab onto it. You will die.” Ed responded.

”Oh? Quite daring words, traveller.” Baskii said.

”You wished to look into my mind. You are welcomed to. But be prepared to never leave.” Ed warned.

”The mist is all I see. Your mind? Your past? Do you even have any left? The mist has taken all of it. I wonder though, if you are so far gone, why are you still alive? Is it the light? It it her?” Baskii asked and Ed turned away and opened the door.

He stepped out to a deadly quiet library, but cared little for those staring at him in fear. He made his way for the exit with Ku Jian tailing behind him. Nti Anem threw Baskii one last glare before leaving with them.

On a table nearby, a young man watched those leaving with an odd smile on his face.

”I see the light realm is going to be interesting this time around.” he said and the girl sitting beside him frowned.

”Which one do you think that aura came from?” she asked him.

”Who cares. We must make sure to go to the tower and watch their progress.” he answered.
