Chapter 320

"Commander!"

When Kanna raised her voice in surprise, Kishiar revealed himself from the darkness, smiling.

"What were you talking about?"

After Kishiar appeared, Lorna seemed even more intimidated than when she had faced Kanna. Having just heard from Kanna about the events that had just transpired, Kishiar glanced down at Pethuamet, who was still scratching at the iron bars, and then turned his eyes toward Lorna.

"Lorna Beit, do you have anything to add to what Kanna said?"

"...No, I'm sorry."

"It seems you've grown comfortable with yesterday's success, but I would like you to keep in mind that it is not yet time for such comfort. You still need to learn to discern what you should and shouldn't say to someone who has just regained their footing." nÊw stories at no/vel/b/i/n(.)com

"I was... rash."

Lorna merely bowed her head, offering no excuse. Seeing her trembling fingertips and not daring to look directly at Kishiar's face, Yuder began to wonder how Kishiar had treated the mages before, to prompt such a reaction.

"Go out and tell Micalin about this."

"...Yes."

It was only then that Lorna seemed to breathe again, quickly rising from her seat and leaving. Kishiar did not take his eyes off her until she was completely out of sight. Only after hearing the distant sound of a door closing did he finally turn to face Kanna and Yuder.

"Anyway, about the emotions of a monster... strange information. Have you ever read about this before, Kanna?"

"No, this is my first time hearing of it too. It's not so much emotions, but more... a feeling that's hard to explain."

Kanna explained that the information read from Pethuamet felt more like a powerful instinct, although it was too brief to say definitively. Yuder reached out slowly towards Pethuamet, who was hanging on the iron bars. The creature tilted its body to follow Yuder's hand and then recoiled, its short legs flailing. Yuder found the scene pathetically reminiscent of the massive Pethuamet. Kishiar also slightly furrowed his brow at the sight.

"It might be dangerous, so come back."

"It's fine. I'm sure, as Kanna said, this monster doesn't seem to harbor any hostility towards me."

"What should we do?..."

At Kanna's perplexed question, Kishiar fell into momentary silence. He seemed uncertain whether to immediately eliminate the unknown element or to verify it before moving on.

"Yuder, what do you think, from the subject's standpoint?"

"I... "

Yuder opened his mouth and then closed it again. Although he was taken aback by the expression of sensing kinship, he realized that there were those in the world who could command monsters and that more would emerge in the future. What would be so different about this? Thinking of it as an extra ability, he felt surprisingly eager.

'What if... I could use the power that this Pethuamet has, like those Awakeners who handle monsters?'

Yuder recalled the ability of Pethuamet that Lorna had mentioned.

Absorption of strength, and discharge.

At that moment, a thought suddenly struck his mind, sending shockwaves through his consciousness.

'Perhaps studying this monster's ability could help with Kishiar's vessel problem. Even if not, maybe it could help find answers related to what happened to me after absorbing the power of the Red Stone...'

"He really did a number on you. Take all of these, and don't use your divine power for a few days."

"I'm sorry. As a priest, I've lost face."

"It's fine. Just rest."

After taking the medicine Enon provided, Lusan fell asleep quickly. They settled down in a spot where they could keep an eye on the sleeping Lusan. Yuder felt Enon's eyes scanning his face, eyes, and even inside, and opened his mouth.

"Enon. Remember the thread you gave me?"

"...Why?"

"It was severed this time. I couldn't figure out its meaning, so I wanted to ask..."

Enon was silent for a moment. When he opened his mouth again, his eyes had sharpened.

"As I told you before, it was a kind of amulet. It absorbed and dispersed any shock that would shake the holder's power and soul. So, if it's broken, it means you endured a shock of that magnitude."

It seemed to imply that he had almost died from this incident, but part of it was not easily accepted.

"It didn't feel that dangerous."

"It didn't feel that dangerous? I heard some of it on the way here, but you must really be insane."

Enon, who had coldly deemed Yuder mad, exhaled as he stared into space, seemingly trying not to lose his temper.

"I told you before. No matter how good your innate talent is, there are limits. If you've come this far, is it your wish to die young?"

"Didn't I tell you I still don't believe it?"

"Do you think it matters whether you believe it or not right now?"

Enon, suddenly angry, took a few deep breaths again.

"How on earth did I get entangled with someone like you...? It's driving me crazy."

"...I'm sorry for that."

"If you were truly sorry, you wouldn't have done something like this."
