Chapter 820 - Worsened Relationship
Song of the Deep and Brute Cavern were already on bad terms. Even so, Sliv didn’t wish to be the one who worsened the problem because this would give Emmagan’s group a new reason to alienate him in the organization.
When that happened, even Flunza wouldn’t be able to cover him up.
Attacking Angor only worked to solve his personal grudge but would leave him with a ton of troubles to deal with later.
Sliv had decided to give in. Yet he couldn’t do it openly or his mighty figure of a wizard would be ruined.
Jebra, as a bystander, saw both Sliv’s concern and Angor’s intention to escape, made a quick decision and stepped up.
“Angor, so you don’t have the Mystery item. Then how do you explain the Mystery energy I detected from this place earlier?”
Taking the chance, Sliv canceled his aura and moved away, pretending that he was allowing Angor to speak more properly.
This was exactly the escaping chance Angor was waiting for, but instead of doing so, he stopped to think about Jebra’s abrupt question.
Jebra remained behind and wondered whether he could finish his teacher’s task at all. He just upset Angor greatly AND exposed his stalking plan.
…
Meanwhile, Angor silently thought over the dispute.
What annoyed him most was that Jebra had been watching him closely and he never noticed.
He did feel strange energy signatures coming from the sea since he left Ferran Land but never gave it much thought. It seemed he should have been more careful.
As for why Jebra did such a thing, Angor was almost sure it had something to do with Lucas’ skull.
He took nothing and left nothing in the secret dimension, and people from Song of the Deep still went after him. This had menacingly told him that he could never be too careful when dealing with wizards who were hunting their prey.
Most wizards usually acted all arrogant and cocky, yet they could be mercilessly observant and unrelenting at the same time. As soon as they smelled something they were interested in, they would NEVER let go.
