Chapter 88: The Human Spy
Rias’s words silenced the area, as everyone remembered Kael’s words about other forces sensing the opening of the Labyrinth.
Even Kael was surprised, but that was mostly because he didn’t expect them to act so quickly.
’Wait! It could just be a powerful beast,’ Kael thought and asked Rias, "Can you identify their race?"
"Human," Rias answered while staring at her left side.
Kael sighed but wasn’t that shocked, as he had already expected this situation. And the worst part was that they couldn’t even do anything to their enemy, as that would just attract even more people.
Kiona pursed her lips and asked, "Will he come here to check? I mean, we have the Great Storm Tree."
"That’s even more reason to check here," Kael shook his head and said. "If there was a storm, then maybe we would be safe—but it’s different now."
"They probably have Artefacts that let them see through some secrets of the Astral World, and that includes the incoming of the Storm," Rias spoke. "I can also sense it, and currently, there is no storm."
"Then what do we do?" Kiona asked. "We can’t hide our progress, especially the canal one."
"If this becomes a norm, our progress would become stagnant," Kael said and turned toward Rias. "Do you have any recollection of doing cosplay?"
"Cosplay..." Rias quickly searched through her anime history and understood what Kael was asking. She replied, "I should have a few things."
