Viola's stern expression softened slightly as she felt the warmth of Jared's hand, and she soon found herself staring dreamily at him.
Shortly after, they reached a forest where Faiyar came to a halt, ceasing his attempt to escape.
Jared promptly followed suit upon noticing Faiyar's pause. Why would Faiyar stop running all of a sudden? There must be a trap or something nearby!
With a calm demeanor, Faiyar turned to Jared and delivered his ominous message. “Mark my words, punk! I will avenge my subordinates!”
The flames on his body cascaded down like flowing water, shaping a scorching symbol on the ground surrounding him.
After a brief pause, Jared exclaimed, “A Teleportation Array? You're not escaping that easily!”
With Dragonslayer Sword in hand, Jared leaped into the air and sent a light attack flying straight at Faiyar.
Right when the light was about to hit Faiyar, he vanished in a burst of radiant white light.
“F*ck! He got away! I can't believe he set up a Teleportation Array here in advance! He sure is a cautious one!” Jared muttered in frustration as he witnessed Faiyar's successful escape.
“Let's hurry up and head back, Mr. Chance. The huge commotion might attract a lot of unwanted attention. We'd be in huge trouble if someone shows up and discovers Ms. Viola,” said Ghaylen.
“Very well, let's head back,” Jared responded with a nod, and the trio made their way back to the hidden cave.
After assisting Viola in donning a disguise, the trio departed from the cave and made their way back to Ghaylen's base.
As Viola's eyes welled up with tears, she witnessed Ghaylen's once majestic and thriving base reduced to ruins. Only a few disciples from Ghaylen's generation remained, solemnly guarding the remnants of their once glorious home.
However, she had to keep her emotions hidden so that no one would grow suspicious of her identity.
Viola's current identity was that of a new disciple that Ghaylen had taken in.
