Chapter 26 - The Blood Witch
Aleen dragged Angor towards Mara. Angor felt awkward at first, but when he saw no sign of disapproval in Mara’s expression, he slowly joined Aleen.
“Grandpa, and brother. You came too!” Aleen rushed over to hug Mara.
Mara greeted Aleen with a smile. “Wait, Lady Merlin is about to channel mana into the nightmare stone. You better keep your distance.”
The three kids nodded and followed Mara until they were away from the escorts.
The graceful escort in elegant formal dress, Lady Merlin, walked to the front of the ship with slender steps. Under everyone’s gaze, she floated the figurehead statue into the air using an unknown power and slowly put it in front of herself.
The figurehead of The Redbud was a praying maiden wearing gauze robe. It left Angor with a deep impression when Angor first saw it because he felt something mysterious from the gem embedded on the forehead of the statue. However, he was not a supernatural yet, so the faint feeling was all he could get.
Now, what Lady Merlin was casting finally confirmed Angor’s question on that day.
Demon falcons were originally predator eagles from arctic areas. They became demon falcons once made into scout avatars by wizards.
Demon falcons could not survive on the sea because they must find replenishment on the ground every day, and of course, they could not do that here. So someone must have been feeding them and considering their position, that feeding place should be on the back of the whale.
A demon falcon was that man’s favorite familiar. Realizing that, indescribable fear climbed onto everyone’s face.
“If that man is hostile against The Redbud, I’m afraid that even Lord Sabot won’t stand a chance,” said Komoen. He had completely given up his idea towards the Cloud Whale. He did not even dare to think about it anymore.
