Chapter 187
With her hand on the side of the fountain, Michelle was a bit disappointed that nothing happened. She had come to the plaza to see the source of the pressure. She could feel it beneath the fountain. But it didn’t want to show itself.
Being the stubborn head she was, Michelle entered the fountain, not caring about the water splashing all around her, and came to the place where water was gushing out. She placed her hand over it and started freezing the water.
Quickly, the ice started clogging the fountain.
Watching it from the side, Nyxaroth sighed, knowing what Michelle was planning. And within the shadows of the city, Noctis had a good guess too.
Unlike Nyxaroth, he couldn’t remain calm. A flash of horror crossed his face.
The little girl was trying to provoke the monster even he didn’t really dare to face head-on. He wanted to bolt out to stop her, but it was already too late.
The water coursing through the fountain was fast and strong, so when Michelle blocked its path, it didn’t take long for cracks to appear around the ice she created. And a moment later, the pipe exploded, sending Michelle flying back.
But she didn’t care, even as she disgracefully landed on her butt and rolled back a few turns.
Water was spraying everywhere in the plaza, and the peace of the city was broken.
Still, Michelle wasn’t satisfied. In the pressure all around, she felt a familiar aura, telling her she definitely had to have met the monster under the fountain before. And if not directly the monster, she must have met something related to the monster.
Part of her instincts, along with her cells, were screaming at her to run far from the city, but the rest of her instincts were telling her to provoke the monster until it showed itself. And she decided to follow that part.
