Chapter 614 - Prototype Puppets
A “comet” swept past the sky above Sleepless City. It landed on the highest vantage point of the entire city—the top of Restless Clock Tower.
On top of the dome-shaped roof of the building, the comet slowly dimmed down, revealing three people plus a bird and a dog.
“What was that frog thing, Angor? I think it admires you.” Shan had returned to being the gossip-loving girl.
“It’s a giant mistake. That monster mistook me for somebody else.” Angor avoided the question with a serious look.
“Fine, if you say so. But why did you bring this dog?” Shan pointed at the creature that was being lifted by Angor. Using the Light spell they prepared, she saw the spotted puppy, which was as big as Toby’s usual form. And since Angor was pinching on its scruff, the poor animal could do nothing other than using its tail to cover up its groin area.
“We need its help to look for people.”
“You mean… by using its nose?”
Angor didn’t answer. In fact, he didn’t know whether this puppy worked like an ordinary dog. He took it along because Froggy said that the puppy could locate the locations of “Prototype Puppets” since it was following behind Yorkshire when Nausica and Gank were taken away.
This was an absolute disaster for Nausica, who pursued freedom and immortality.
Angor wanted to rescue her in time. The question was whether he could still make it.
He already sensed a familiar energy signature in the distance, which was slowly being connected to the interlayer he just left. This suggested that a new prototype was made.
Hope it’s not you, Nausica…
He returned to Shan and Shiliew while ignoring every question they prepared for him. “Nausica is in danger. We can talk after getting her out. Now follow me.”
To move as fast as possible, Toby turned into Griffin Form and carried them while following Angor’s directions.
Angor told Toby to go this way because the puppy had been barking toward that direction. Although Angor wasn’t sure if the animal was giving them pointers or was simply barking randomly.
Yet he didn’t have a choice. The puppy was the only thing he could follow right now.
He hoped that Nausica could hold on for as much as she could before they arrived.
