Chapter 60 [This seemingly impossible Quest!]

60 [This seemingly impossible Quest!]

Once again, entering that world, I gave it a bit of a thought. While I didn't have any concrete information about the situation, I now had the broken pieces of the puzzle that would form the foundation of me solving this whole situation.

"Well. Let's make a straight line to repeat," I decided it would be better to form a singular turn of events to keep in check than doing random things and try to find something. That way, we can make proper decisions in successive returns.

"First stop should be saving Evelyn and Oriel," I decided as I looked in the direction where they should be right now.

[Frenzy!]

Since I already knew how far they were, it should take a dozen seconds to reach there even without [One Way Out!]. -Whoosh!

-Whoosh!

I also thought about whether to go as Adam or as 'Phantom' but in the end, I wondered if there is real meaning to it. I mean, Mira and the others already know my face. Even though I asked Rivas not to tell anyone about it, why was I sure that he wouldn't? 'It would be only a few more days or perhaps weeks before people would know Adam is Phantom,' I understood that much. But I guess it will stop at that... Not like anyone knows about Adam either.

-Slash!

Reaching there, I saw the same scene once again. Oriel was slashing through the wraiths with all his might, trying to protect Evelyn.

I moved towards Evelyn before approaching in front of her. Even though she was extremely weak right now, I could see the shock in her suddenly widened eyes. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"A.. dam?" she mumbled with her weak voice while I put my hand on her head,

"So you came the same way as us, huh? I was hoping it would be otherwise but... though why were you in the bandit's hideout? Did your rank raised to that much in the last 5 days?" Evelyn spoke out, a bit surprised as she looked at me.

'5, huh?' I thought as I looked at her. If I say yes to that, then they won't ask anything further believing me. They might even accept my growth in power a bit more naturally.

Though if they end up knowing everything in the middle, this could go the wrong way.

"5?" I made a surprised expression. Then I looked at Evelyn as I continued," What do you mean by that?"

"Adam. What date is it today? And what is the time outside?" Oriel seemed to understand the situation with just this. I almost gave him a thumbs up before, I moved the finger to my chin.

"Isn't it still 16th of 14th? 0192. Morning around 5?" I gave them the exact date along with time, making them shocked with their eyes bulging. They looked at me, trying to see if I was joking, but reading my face, they glanced at each other for a moment.

"Time dilation," Evelyn mumbled first,

"To think something like that even exists," Oriel added to it before looking at me as he asked me another question," Adam. May I know why were you there in the bandit's hideout? I don't think you have the power to go so deep into their layer."

Seems like he is suspicious of me, but he was still trying to clear them by asking simple questions.

"I was there for a quest related to the bandits. Though I saw most of the bandits dead, using a bunch of skills, I went deeper into the layer without encountering anything until a strange mana appeared out of nowhere. Well... it's embarrassing but my curiosity got the best of me and I touched that mana and well... Here I was on this strange dead place," I made up a story on the spot making both of them look at me with a silent look for a few seconds...

"Adam..." Oriel, who looked more serious, began speaking first...
