Chapter 533 - A True Strong Figure (2/2)
With that, Evelina was close to believing it. If a regular potionist made this potion, she wouldn’t believe it. But it had to be made by Link, whom she feared greatly. It really might contain some fatal thing.
Now, she didn’t dare try anything. Glaring at Eliard, she said, “You’re so despicable!”
“I learned it from you, haha,” Eliard said, grinning.
He continued walking north. Soon, he climbed past a tall mountain. Reaching the foot of the mountain, he took out a runestone that had the same crystal-red glow. He added power into the stone, and it glowed a bit brighter.
“What are you doing now?” Evelina asked despite guessing what he was planning.
Eliard didn’t keep it from her. “I’m contacting Link. The mountain is behind us so the High Elves shouldn’t be able to sense it. Link will hurry over after I send the signal.”
He maintained the runestone for three seconds. Then he put it away and continued northward.
In order to keep hidden from the High Elves, he walked slowly and carefully. Starting and stopping, he only walked around 1500 feet after five minutes.
As they walked, Evelina suddenly said, “Oh no, they’re coming towards us… They must have discovered your traces.”
Eliard was surprised, but he didn’t panic. He took out a runestone again and looked around. Finding, a big tree, he cast a Levitation spell and floated to the top. He activated the rune, and half a second later, watery ripples appeared in the space surrounding them. It stayed this way for three seconds before everything went back to normal.
“And what was that for?” Evelina couldn’t help but ask. The runestone was also crystal-red. She supposed that it was from Link too.
“To fold space,” Eliard explained. “Now, we can see under the tree, but they can’t see us… Or more accurately, they can see but won’t notice us. We’re smaller than sesame seeds to them now.”
While speaking, he found a comfortable place to sit and started waiting patiently.
After around five minutes, three figures appeared beneath the tree. They were High Elves Elovan, Sonya, and Milose. The three circled the place many times and finally stopped.
Eliard and Evelina could hear their voices.
“Strange. They disappeared.”
“I can feel that they’re here. They must’ve used some invisibility spell. Keep looking.”
The three started circling again and used many detection spells. They still didn’t find anything. Finally, they regrouped under the tree.
“Nope. They vanished.”
“Maybe they’re hiding in another realm?”
“It’s possible. Let’s go look.”
The three disappeared on the spot. Clearly, they went to another realm.
Evelina was entirely shocked at this. Only by being in it could she feel just how powerful the runestone was. They were less than 100 feet away, but the High Elves couldn’t sense them at all. And it was just a runestone. If Link himself was here, the three could search their entire lives without finding anything.
Eliard looked down too. He wasn’t as relaxed. The others were only fooled temporarily and would realize at some point. At that time, they would be dead.
The seconds ticked by. After another ten minutes, the three High Elves returned. They weren’t stupid and had an idea of how Eliard was hiding now.
“They must’ve used a spatial spell. Let’s look more carefully.”
The three split up again and regrouped five minutes later. Then they looked up towards the big tree.
“There’s something wrong with the tree.”
“There’s something wrong with the sky too. It’s kind of red.”
“It’s morning. That’s the sunrise… No, there’s something wrong. It’s too red.”
In the tree, Eliard’s heart pounded and almost leaped from his throat, but now, Link was finally here. He let out a long sigh and said to Evelina, “It’s alright now. Link’s here. We’re safe.”
Evelina didn’t say anything. She looked up and saw that the sky was fiery red now. Pressure covered the sky and kept coming in waves. She couldn’t breathe.
Link wasn’t here yet, but the sky had already changed.
Evelina trembled inwardly and thought, We’re both in the Legendary level. How come he’s so powerful?
