Chapter 29: It’s Okay
Theron landed on the ground lightly, his blue eyes frighteningly cold in the depths of the night.
He looked down at his hand, a searing pain creeping up his spine. The sword he was holding now wasn't his at all. It was Thessa's.
The strength he would need to employ to cut off the head of a Ninth Resonance Bronze Mancer would definitely expose the fact it was a Water Mancer that acted here, and he couldn't afford that.
Luckily for him, Thessa had poured a large amount of Fire Mana into her blade to deal with the grey rhino.
Unluckily for him, he was suffering severe burns to his hand now. Hiding this until it healed would be a problem.
Theron quickly moved to the stream and began to use Water Mancy to pull the heat out of his hand. Dealing with Ninth Resonance Fire Mana, even with a type advantage, was extraordinarily difficult. But he had also come prepared for this.
Once he was finished, he began to clean up the battlefield. It was only after he was satisfied that he turned to leave.
Tonight seemed simple, but it was all a matter of preparation. As for where it stemmed from, it was a result of a simple slip-up on Little Sadie's part.
When Theron first met Thessa and the others, Sadie had tried to introduce Thessa, only to be cut off by the young woman. But Theron had heard more than enough.
