Chapter 282: In Search of the Archmage (1)
Karnak and Milia emerged from the cave once more, and Lapicel’s expression lit up seeing her walk out unharmed.Lapicel ran towards her with a gleeful shout. "Milia!"
She immediately began inspecting Milia from head to toe, clearly unable to hide her concern. "What about your body? Are you okay?"
"Ye-yeah..." Milia trailed off and avoided Lapicel’s gaze.
Karnak sent a sharp whisper through their telepathic channel.
—I told you to keep your expression under control.
—Bu-but...
The truth was, she wasn’t okay at all. Outwardly, she looked human, but she was still tainted by darkness. And now, she’d even become a vassal of a wicked necromancer. She couldn’t bear to meet others’ eyes with so much guilt weighing her down.
Fortunately, Lapicel didn’t think anything of it. It would have been stranger if Milia looked confident and composed, considering she had just been rampaging as the Angel of Radiant Wings trying to kill them all. If anything, her nervousness felt more natural.
Lapicel comforted her gently. "It’s not your fault. You were just being controlled by those cultists!"
Milia muttered, "But still..."
Lapicel continued, "And everyone’s safe now. No one was hurt."
