Book 3: Chapter 55: Extraterrestrial Alliance and Demonic Ambush
'How should I report this to Father?' Seres thought to herself as she stalked the palace's halls. 'He told me not to interfere with the lives of those teenagers, but surely I'll have to protect them after this. How can I arrange for that to happen without going against Father's orders?'
Seres frowned. She didn't like Lone Immortus. He was too good at causing trouble despite his infantile age. And Sofia Vladimirovich terrified her, enough so that she had fled the moment she was done convincing Lady Carnation to leave just as Barund the Unskilled had.
'What a mess that child's unique skill has caused. Perhaps I should arrange for them to get in contact with that group of heroes? What was their name again... Ah, yes, the Extraterrestrial Alliance. They could protect them from those who cannot control their urge to stick their nose where it does not belong,' Seres thought.
It was decided then. She would continue to keep the group under surveillance as her father had instructed, and she would only send a single letter to a distant acquaintance. There would be no further interference from her than that. Surveillance was her objective after all, not protection.
She was simply doing what she could within her capacity as the daughter of the man whom Lone Immortus considered to be a friend.
"Master Mezro'nan, meet Hazel, Emma, George, Alisa, and this guy, Scott. Guys, meet the X-ranked independent master of earth and body fortification magic, Master Mezro'nan," Lone introduced as he recreated Scott's body once again. "How should they refer to you? Lord Master Mezro'nan doesn't roll off the tongue, does it?"
"Lord Mezro'nan will do," the Restodian Iglaform answered. "What you jussst did to hisss body... That wasss a type of magic I have never ssseen before."
"It was a unique skill," Lone replied candidly. "Scott here has one too. He used it on me and improved it, which resulted in him almost dying. His rank is too low to host the evolution his aura is going through as a result."
"Wha-! You can't just tell a stranger that!" Hazel protested.
