Vur blinked and looked down at the root bracelet glowing on his left wrist. He turned his head towards Tafel, who had walked up to his side. The tower gave me a skill; its called Fear.
Tafel glanced at the bald woman lying on the ground who was staring up at her and Vur like a frozen rabbit faced with a snake. Im not surprised, the demon said before squatting down by the injured monk. Rather than injured, it was more apt to describe her as mortally wounded or dying or about to visit the farm with all the happy little animals. Heal her?
Vurs eyes glowed golden, and a green light washed over the dying woman, causing her injuries to fade away, her body cracking as it twisted back into shape, forcing wooden splinters out as it did. If it werent for her broken weapon and the not-yet-dried blood on Mirandas clothes and face, she wouldve thought the previous encounter with the puppet had been a dream. A shiver ran down Mirandas spine, and she instinctively used the skill she had obtained from the orb once more. Her shadow rose up and engulfed her, causing her to disappear from view.
Shadow Cloak! Kim Hajun said, his eyes widening. Once again, the signature skill of a lord was hidden within their temple on the first floor. The first time may have been luck, but what were the odds of it happening again? It mustve been true. If he could monopolize all the hidden pieces within the temples, wouldnt he be invincible? His plans could be pushed forward by several years!
Is that the skill from the hidden piece? Lindyss asked, raising an eyebrow as she walked over to the space where Miranda had been. Lindyss crouched next to Tafel before nodding. Thats not a bad idea, but I bet it doesnt last very long or feel too pleasant.
What did she do? Erin asked from Lindyss shoulder.
She hid inside the shadows, Lindyss said. You know how it feels like inside my pocket?
Erin shuddered. She had stuck her hand inside the cursed elfs pocket a few times to retrieve some things. It was unpleasant and cold, not a space suitable for living creatures. So, she stored herself?
Yep, Lindyss said and nodded.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Dont look at me, Tafel said, turning her head towards Vur. He gets to make the final decision.
Lindyss raised an eyebrow. And why is that? Dont you usually decide things?
Tafel shrugged. Vurs the one wholl have to carry her around in his claws when he flies. Hes already carrying Kax, Kim Hajun, and Jeffery.
I dont mind, Vur said. If I pack them tight, she can fit in one paw with them too.
Mirandas suspicions of Vur being a dragon came to the forefront of her mind. She hoped due to a lack of critical information she was misunderstanding Vurs words. I heard that once we complete the temple trial, well have completed the advancement exam to the next floor. Her voice shrank. Is that not the case? There shouldnt be any reason to fly anywhere.
Vur looked around. Theres nothing else hidden here, he said. How many more temples are there?
Quite a few, Kim Hajun said. Do you have enough food to open them all?
Vur shrugged. I saw a place with animals while flying here. His stomach growled. We can hunt first.
Miranda swallowed down her anxiety, a bit concerned her question had been ignored.
