Chapter 153: Finding Dray
Pyra looked around the battlefield with calm eyes that accessed the scene around her. There were hundreds of dead bodies on the floor and the blood on her clothes and body was already becoming too much. She would have to wash before she can continue this mission later! Human blood was disgusting! Pyra couldn't even feel proud of the bloodstains because of how weak the humans were. if the humans had put up a better fight then she might have felt proud to be stained by their blood, but the only thing she felt when she looked at herself was that she was dirty.
Pyra flicked her hand to get rid of some blood and she looked up again to see how many soldiers were still alive. Most of the soldiers were dead and some of them managed to escape into the forest. Pyra could still see some soldiers running toward the forest and Pyra started to walk forward to hunt for them. They won't be able to get very far before she catches them - wait.
Pyra narrowed her eyes suspiciously as she saw someone that she recognized. The person she saw was Dray but Pyra couldn't believe what she was seeing. Wasn't that boy dead? Pyra had a very good memory and she would always remember that she killed this boy in Aquinas. Wasn't he the one that uses black flames? He was the only one that put up a good fight in that useless kingdom.
<o>,m Pyra wasn't too sure if that was really Dray and she just decided to go and make sure herself. She blasted off the ground with a 'Boom!' and chased after Dray! It wouldn't cause too many problems for me to just check.</o>
Andromeda looked toward where Pyra was going curiously. Where is Pyra going? Andromeda opened a communication circle and spoke directly to Pyra.
"Where are you going? We aren't finished with the humans yet. Did you find something?"
Andromeda was wondering if Pyra saw the hero. That would be the only good reason for Pya to suddenly leave like that! If Pyra found the hero then Andromeda needs to also come along! But Pyra responded that it wasn't the hero.
"I want to confirm something, it is just my curiosity. I'll return before you finish with the soldiers,"
Pyra responded in her usual short sentences and she shut down the communication circle and continued after the boy she saw. Andromeda was curious about what Pyra meant but she decide that it wasn't her business since Pyra told her that it was okay. Andromeda just continued killing the soldiers around her.
"Just shut up and come down here! Don't say a word and don't take any deep breaths. Just... Stay calm,"
Quinn had no choice but to listen to Dray once she saw the seriousness in his expression! She just narrowed her eyes in annoyance and calmed her breathing! Thankfully, she has been doing a lot of breathing exercises in the training camp so she could easily hold her breath for thirty minutes if she had to. If she lowers her breathing enough then it was likely that no one would ever know where she was. Quinn wanted to see what it was that made Quinn so spooked.
Quinn looked out through a small hole in the shrub and her eyes widened as Pyra walked into the exact place where they just left. Shit! Quinn was absolutely shocked! How long has she been following us!? I didn't even hear a thing!
Pyra was looking at the ground and she could see the horse tracks leading further down the road. Pyra narrowed her eyes at the tracks and took a closer look. There was something strange about the tracks that the horses left from this point on. The horses seem lighter because the tracks weren't as deep as before. Almost like the riders were no longer on them! Did those two get down from their horses and send the horses off to try and escape from me? Fools.
Pura rose up to her full height and she immediately activated a skill.
[Mana Pulse - S] has been activated.
current novels .
This skill was the same one that Rosavellt used a long time ago to check if there were any traps in the letter she received from Dulla. The skill releases a pulse of mana into the specified place that you want to search and the mana you release reacts with any foreign Mana in the surroundings and bounces back the location of that foreign mana to you. It was a very useful skill that was used to search for a locate unwanted magic signatures.
Pyra knew that if Dray and Quinn were hiding around here then the mana pulse will send back a signal and she would get their exact location. But once Pyra sent out the pulse, there was a bright light that suddenly encased the forest around her, and hundreds of tiny little lights started to fly out from the trees, and they all started to surround Pyra! Pyra was shocked for only a second before she just closed her eyes and pouted. Dammit. She had no idea she was in a Sprite Nest.
