Chapter 601 - Spotted Dog
After searching for half an hour, Angor landed on the balcony of a two-story wooden house.
According to the message they received, the darkness invaded Sleepless City without forewarning, which meant that most citizens in the outer city did not have time to escape.
However, Angor found it strange that he barely saw people around the city, either supernaturals or mortals.
Even if the possessed tended to avoid “Shava”, they couldn’t stay away from Angor at all times when he flew around by using the sequence of gravity.
While searching for Nausica’s trace, Angor kept an eye out for colorful clowns and registered less than a hundred of them, who all escaped as soon as they saw him coming.
Less than a hundred people in the city? That couldn’t be.
The last time when he visited the city with Sunders, he knew the city was relatively lively even though they did not take the time to look around. The streets might not be crowded, but they were far from desolate either.
Are they all staying indoors then?
He only heard one individual though. He wondered why someone would start all that ruckus all by themselves.
A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder and startled him for good.
Out of instinct, he readied his gravity power to defend himself.
“It’s me.”
It was Sunders’ raspy voice.
Angor looked closely and saw his professor somehow standing right behind his back. The gentleman was also looking through the window while his eyes glowed with the effect of a spell.
“Did you come here for something, professor?” whispered Angor.
Sunders quickly created a Spirit Bond between them. “I heard the noise and decided to check. What about you?”
“Me? I… was led here by a dog before I heard the explosion.”
“A dog?” Sunders narrowed his eyes. “Where is it?”
Angor moved to the edge of the ceiling and looked down. However, he could not find the puppy who had been following them.
“Did it get lost? But I didn’t fly very fast…
“Maybe the noise scared it away?”
Since the puppy seemed safe from the parasites, Angor decided to leave it be and looked at the teleportation hall below again.
“Someone is there. Someone we both know,” said Sunders, “Greya, no doubt.”
Upon hearing Greya’s name, Angor felt Toby getting restless on his shoulder as if the bird would rush into the building immediately.
“Lady Greya is down there? Did she cause the commotion?” Angor frowned.
“I’m not sure what exactly happened to her, but it seems like Greya is trapped.”
