Chapter 513 - Jebra, Guilt-Free?
Lawson was carefully watching the screen, which was now showing a hunter wearing green camouflage paint and a giant bow on his back. The hunter was slowly sneaking into an underwater cave.
This hunter managed to interrogate a high-class Duon for useful information. He learned that one of the “real gods” of the Duons lived inside this cave. As a strict follower of his ancestor’s motto, he decided to investigate.
“Oh, who’s that? He came pretty far,” Melantha asked. She had been staying at the machine tower since she returned to the city.
“Kayaso Sunward Feinwerder,” said Lawson.
“You… actually memorized all of their names?” Melantha grinned. “Do you still remember my mother’s name, dad?”
“Sherry.”
“Yeah… Wizards have such good memories that they can’t forget something even if they want to.” Melantha didn’t mention her mother’s matter any further. She looked at the screen again and asked, “So, this man’s family name is… Feinwerder? Which Feinwerder?”
“What should we do? One of them is going to get hurt like this!” Shan really wanted to help Shiliew out, yet she couldn’t go in there as she might become Keely’s next target. Therefore, she chose to rely on Angor.
Angor sighed in distress. He only wanted to get Shiliew out of trouble. And if this fight kept going, there might be more trouble later.
He decided to do something to actually help them.
With several moves of his fingers, a number of illusion nodes were placed around the battlefield. None of the fighters were paying any attention to Angor, so they all bumped into the illusion.
Next, Angor entered the mist illusion himself and unleashed his nightmare aura. This power was usually decisive when used against apprentices, especially ones who were tired out.
Almost instantly, everyone in range fell into a trap woven out of both reality and delusions.
“What are you doing?!” Keely yelled.
“If I don’t stop you two soon, Jebra’s going to recover and escape. If you want him dead, why don’t you just sit tight and watch Shiliew do it?”
“But I need to kill him with my own hands!” Keely protested.
“HE’S MINE!!” Shiliew didn’t stay quiet in the illusion either. Angor checked and saw that Shiliew’s face was twisting in both anger and excitement. Meanwhile, the calm and gentle “Dripping River” woman was nowhere to be seen.
There was no way Shiliew could help Angor look for people like this.
If that’s the case…
Angor freed Keely from his illusion first to let the girl deal with Jebra.
Jebra remained quiet in the illusion while using the chance to regain his stamina. His partner, a female apprentice, was in a worse condition, which meant that she couldn’t do anything to help him right now.
Jebra watched Keely getting closer with a grim look.
“How I’ve been waiting for this day…” Keely muttered under her breath.
