Chapter 302 - Red Gate (1/2)
Evan headed toward the girl. He wouldn't use Mammon's Gaze now because it might draw unnecessary attention to him. Of course, most people would think Evan just knew a very rare spell. But, in such a crowd of people, there would probably be someone overly curious.
When Evan approached the girl, she turned around and calmly said, ”Follow me, Evan Lynch.
Evan nodded, and they headed down the circular staircase together.
<She didn't even tell me her name, but she knows mine. I'll find out for myself, though.> Evan thought to himself and cast Mammon's Gaze.
[Victoria Deslys
Race - Mage
Stage - Two-Pointed Star, with one flame on the platform.
Warp - Purple]
”You know, it's not very polite to stare so intently at others,” Victoria said with a frown. She sensed that Evan was using some spell. Of course, she assumed it was the Eye of Truth and Evan glanced at her Pillar of Soul. She did not turn around and could not see that Evan's left eye turned gold during the cast of the spell.
”I can say the same about you. It's not nice not to say your name, don't you think?” Evan said with a smirk. He didn't like this girl's arrogance.
Tremble.
The next moment the girl released her aura. It was mighty, many monsters would have been frightened by it. Victoria hoped it would tame Evan, but she was wrong.
Evan also smiled and released his aura, and it was even scarier and more terrifying than Victoria's aura. Evan found this situation amusing. He liked watching the confused faces of overconfident people.
Victoria didn't react in any way and just stopped emitting her aura. She hadn't expected Evan to possess such power, even though he hadn't yet broken through any Barrier at his stage.
<It looks like the elders are paying this guy so much attention for a reason. Even one of the strongest members of the Demonic Tree has taken credit for his actions. That's pretty interesting>. Victoria thought.
Victoria had to take Evan to one room to join the Demonic Tree and get his mantle officially.
They didn't go into the city part of the Devil's Horn. Evan would go there himself once the ceremony was over.
Victoria led Evan to a large gate forged of red iron. They looked majestic and intimidating.
”You take it from here,” Victoria said coldly and headed into town.
