Chapter 186
Under the pressure coming from the city, Ivona could barely breathe. Michelle was in a somewhat better state.
That just showed how much more powerful Nyxaroth was when he was completely unaffected. But even he couldn’t detect the source of the pressure.
He wasn’t a beast specialized in detection; his power focused on sneaking and destruction. But his senses were still incredible because they always rose with his power.
He should have been able to sense the source of a pressure so weak compared to him.
Or was it because he was so powerful? Did his senses not pick up the source because his senses subconsciously deemed it insignificant?
Thinking about all that while still under the pressure, Michelle was getting more and more confused. And the fact that the pressure was getting stronger didn’t help her the least bit.
Michelle glanced at Ivona. She looked like she would faint at any moment. They needed to leave. But Michelle’s curiosity still wasn’t satisfied.
"Nyx, take Ivona to Cold Flame and Mare!" she suddenly said to Nyxaroth using the contract. Speaking normally was nearly impossible for her under the pressure.
Nyxaroth understood that Michelle wanted him to leave her there alone, and he was quite reluctant to do so. But she was his contract master, and the words of one’s contract master were absolute, so he had to obey.
A while later, Michelle was alone under the pressure, standing up slowly. With her hand on the city wall to support herself, she slowly walked along it until she got to the city gate. Just as she had expected, not a soul could be seen.
After entering the city through the gate, the pressure instantly increased by folds, and Michelle fell down, a small dent forming under her knees. Naturally, her knees didn’t go without damage. The sweet scent of blood instantly filled the air.
