Chapter 73: Twist of Fate
Hal couldn’t believe his eyes.
Out of all places...
"L-Liora?! What the hell are you doing here?!" he couldn’t help but exclaim in utter shock and disbelief.
However, he soon realized his mistake, this time taking the initiative to grab both Loki and Liora’s wrists, exiting the Blue Zone with them.
Once they’ve settled in a rather safe place, the two spoke once more:
"H-Hal, I didn’t expect to run into you here." the maiden began.
"Well, who would expect to run into each other in such a dangerous place?" Hal replied with a shrug. "Wait, do you know how dangerous the area you’re going into is?"
Liora fell silent for a moment, pondering everything she had just researched before answering in detail:
"Yes, I did some research and am fully aware that I’m in one of the four great forests, the Ancient Great Forest of Eordyrr. The blue area where we met is called a Luminous Runeforest, where there’s a chance of encountering A- and B-ranked monsters and beasts. According to an article I read on the network, the entrance to the Ancient Forest Leviathan Deora’s domain is also hidden somewhere within."
This time, it was Hal who fell silent.
’Well... damn... she’s not a five-star student for nothing...’
