Chapter 384: Void Monsters
Tauri watched in shame and regret as Plum flailed about in terror. Stryg held Plum in his arms and whispered comforting words to her until after a few minutes she began to calm down and remember who she was.
The mind-linking spell was always considered dangerous, Stryg understood that, but when Plum said it’d be fine Tauri had encouraged her.
How mistaken she had been. She should never have placed her former student’s life at risk.
Tauri gripped the sides of her pants and bowed at a ninety-degree angle. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have made you use a mind link spell. I should have been more cautious, especially regarding your safety.”
Plum smiled weakly and shook her head, “No, it’s not your fault. I chose to cast that spell.”
“But if I hadn’t—”
“—I said it’s not your fault, let’s leave it at that. Besides, I wouldn’t have known the truth otherwise,” Plum said.
“What truth?” Stryg asked suspiciously.
Plum held her head and winced, but stood up anyway, albeit with a bit of a wobble. She glanced at the unconscious human captive and felt pity for him. He had gone through so much.
