Chapter 321 - 313. Angler
Within the inadequate light around the lake, the blue eyes shone brightly, reflecting the dancing flame for the campfire. "You’re not my type," the guide said calmly.
The man’s aloofness was intriguing, despite the clear disadvantageous of his position. Was he just acting calm, since there was nothing he could do? The female five-star esper, Ali, looked at the guide amusedly. She was supposed to bring the guide immediately after the Serpent Lord got sealed, but that wouldn’t be fun, would it?
She stopped at the edge of the dock, across the guide, and tilted her head in ponder. "Hmm...could it be...you’re not actually alone?"
The blue eyes blinked, and a mana barrier shimmered around the guide; the kind that came from a skill, not from an equipment. Right after, she could hear groans from her earpiece, which meant the two scouts hiding in the forest were being attacked.
Her brow arched. "Oh, how curious. We didn’t sense anyone all this time. Where did you hide those people?"
The guide shrugged. "What makes you think I’ll tell you?"
"Oh, come on. Have a little fun!" she chuckled, clearly did not faze even after knowing there were other people there.
Well, to be fair, every five-star esper--especially damage dealers--thought they were Gods, except when Bassena Vaski was present. But Bassena Vaski was being sealed in a dimensional space, and even if he managed to kill the other esper and got out, he would appear in another location.
So, basically, in her eyes, she was the goddess tonight.
"Fine," the guide rolled his eyes and waved his hand slightly. Immediately, she sensed more presence coming from three points; somewhere in the forest, somewhere from the helipad, and...
She turned his head; ten, twelve--no, fourteen figures were standing around the house. Inside, on the balcony, on top of the roof. Truthfully, it was quite surprising, even for her. The espers who came with her--those who belonged to that manchild Belthera--flinched as they knew they were outnumbered. She just scoffed, however.
