Chapter 382 - Volume 3
Chapter 161 – Mist Conversion
The Wall of Clouds gathered together proved that Mana was gathering at an astonishing speed. The Waves of Calamity’s influence was becoming more and more apparent. Brendel could hardly breathe when he looked at the Lernaia Hydra, and it was not simply because of the pressure that was emitting from it.
[Even a Projection means that this thing is level 120 and above. It’s beyond mortal means.]
He and Orthlyss did not speak, but both were pondering what they could do to escape this difficult situation. The youth looked around and discovered a huge boulder not from away. He inhaled and exhaled once to regulate his breathing. It was not the first time he faced a dangerous situation that was significantly past his levels to handle things.
[Calm down. Consider the chances of avoiding the Hydra’s line of sight if we hide under the boulder. There’s no reason why I should be afraid even though there’s only a single chance to get it right. Like breaking past Madara’s Fortress Nirui, or the Dragon Nest War. As long as each step is done perfectly—]
Brendel regained his former self. The blood of the old adventurer started burning in his body.
Another breath.
“Wait here, Scarlett,” he said.
Brendel looked curiously at her before he realized something. He turned his head to look at where Veronica was looking and found a mist from the monster’s body expanding outwards that slowly filled the forest.
[Mist Dispersal! I thought it’s some kind of magic projection from the Hydra, but this looks like it’s not the case. This monster isn’t the Lernaia Hydra but some kind of Law, or a creature’s Element Power surrounding the Loop of Trade Winds. The creature that the Druids discovered is actually this…… fog thing. The mist that’s now covering the forest now is some kind of surveillance method.]
The youth understood that Veronica saved him. If he left the bushes, he would be immediately discovered by it.
[Come to think of it, I haven’t asked Scarlett why she and Veronica appeared together.]
