Chapter 20: Encounters

"So, are we going to go to Brother Artevans now?"

Leaving Kiddell, Roart and Talia walked around the nearby town to discuss what to do next.

"Of course, Artevans dares to harm the reputation of the Divine Heir, and I will make him pay!" Talia clenched her fists. Apparently, Talia was outraged by what Artevans had done.

Rodt looked at Talia and smiled awkwardly.

(I really admire it, worthy of the brother of Artfans, who blamed the Divine Heir in addition to his own relationship.) But in this way, Sister Talia will become very angry, and you should know how Sister Talia looks when she is angry. Brother Artevans, I hope you will have a way to deal with it when you face Sister Taria. )

"From what I've learned of Brother Artfans, he should be almost in the Cole Mountains by now, and if we chase it now, it might be too late." With that, Rodt glanced at Taria.

"Then let's go! I must let Artevans know the consequences of damaging the reputation of the Divine Heirs!' Talia said as she looked at Roat with a determined look in her eyes.

"Even if Brother Artevans was once our companion?" Rodt tested Taria's attitude again.

"Even if he was once our companion!" Talia's attitude remained resolute.

————————————

"Do you know anything about the beasts of the Cole Mountains?" As he hurried, Artevans used his mind to communicate with Rusa, who was in his inner space.

"Strange beasts?" Rusa's tone seemed to be a little confused.

"For example, a snow-white saber-toothed tiger can fight with the power of the wind, and it is very fast."

Artevans was obsessed with the white tiger that had crushed him with his strength in the Cole Mountains, and although his strength had improved a little now, he knew that he still had no way to resist the white tiger's attack.

"White Tiger, Guardian Sacred Beast ......" Rusha seemed to remember something, but she still didn't say anything, after all, she wasn't very sure.

"yes, it looks like I need to be on the lookout." Artevans didn't continue to ask, and when he heard Aruba mention the sacred beast, Artevans knew what to expect. Siya once told him about the Guardian Sacred Beast, and Ostia has a total of four Guardian Sacred Beasts, all of which exist in the plane of the Ostia Continent, and their strength is very strong.

With the help of his magic, Artevans quickly navigated through the woods while avoiding all the villages. In a few moments, he was making his way through the western forest to the meadows that connected the Cole Mountains to the Sepien Plains.

"Take a break, you come out first." Atvance sat down on the grass, and Rusa flew out of the inner space, turning into a human form and standing beside Atvance, looking around vigilantly.

"There's no danger here, don't be too vigilant, I have a question for you." As if sensing that Rusa was still restrained, Artevans waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down.

"Have you found anything in my inner space?" It wasn't until Rusa sat down that Artevans asked slowly.

"Seal, Kernel ......" Rusha thought for a moment and was about to tell Atfans what she saw.

But she hadn't finished her sentence, but she couldn't go on. Rusha suddenly felt as if her neck was being choked, and a chill that seemed to be able to freeze her soul gradually spread throughout her body.

She seemed to see herself in a snowy clearing, and in the wind and snow not far away, a figure stood at her, making a "shhhh

Rusha couldn't see the figure clearly, and she couldn't even see whether the other party was male or female, she only knew that the chill seemed to freeze herself, and she felt suffocated.

"Now, it's not time for him to know......

A sentence poured into Rusha's mind, as if it appeared in Rusha's mind out of thin air, without a sound, very simple, complete thought. Immediately afterward, the wind and snow drifted away, and all the discomfort that Ai Rusha felt disappeared in an instant.

In just a few seconds, Rusa seemed to be hovering between life and death, and as a nightmare, she felt the suffocation of death for the first time.

"Still, observe." Rusa feigned her composure to keep Artevans from seeing that something was wrong with her.

Artevans nodded, he didn't seem to know anything about what had happened to Rusa.

What kind of existence can make the Artevans beside him undetectable, and make a nightmare fall into a powerful, even real, illusion. Rusha sensed that she, or Atfans, was being watched by something.

After a short rest, Atvance suddenly frowned as he stood up and prepared to set off again. Rusha on the side also felt a strong killing intent, and the scattered black shadow formed a sharp blade on the side of her wrist.

The light rained down, coming at Artevans and Rusa.

"The Veil of Heaven?" Artevans recognized what kind of magic it was, grabbed Rusa, who was about to resist, and jumped backwards, dodging the attack.

"It seems that Notek has already told me about my life, and it seems that the Divine Heirs have sent someone to clear up the misunderstanding with the Church of Wizards. It's just that I didn't expect it to be the two of you, it's been a long time."

Atlance stood in front of Rusa, smiling at Roart and Talia as they appeared.

"Yo, Brother Atfans, I've finally found you, don't come unharmed." Loat smiled in return and greeted Atfans. But his gaze fell almost entirely on Rusha behind Artevans.

"Artevis, you dare to damage the reputation of the Divine Heirs, I must teach you a lesson!"

Talia was not as polite as Royalt, her fingers shook down, and the magic circle that was unfolding in the sky to release the "Heavenly Veil" suddenly fell, restricting Artevan's activity space to the magic array.

"In that case, Sister Talia should have a good fight with Brother Artfans, and as for me, ......" Ryat's figure moved, and he came to Rusa.

Although Artevans reacted immediately, there was no way to stop it.

"I'll come and meet you." With his glowing right hand, Rodat grabbed Rusa's shoulder, and in an instant took her to a place where neither Artevans nor Talia could see.

Artevans sighed helplessly, looked at Talia with murderous intent in front of him, and sneered.

"So, are you determined to kill me? Talia ......

————————————

A small clearing somewhere in the Cole Mountains.

"Let it go......" Rusha shook off Ronat's hand, her sharp nails slicing down.

Royat easily dodged, and at the same time condensed a light knife in his hand.

"Just let me see your strength, in Lower Royat, may I ask what your name is......" Royat looked very calm, and did not seem to have the slightest sense of tension in battle.

"Rutha...... Rusha didn't understand why in her eyes, Royale was so polite as an enemy. But she didn't want to think too much about it, so she continued to attack.

With the help of Nightmare's nimble and ethereal figure, Rusa almost circled Royalt, constantly changing the direction of attack, forcing Royalt to stand still and defend.

It's just that Roat always had a smile on his face, raised his light knife, and calmly blocked Rusa's attacks again and again.

"If you don't bring your true strength into play, I'm afraid you won't be able to beat me." With a sudden force, the light knife picked off the right arm of the blade attached to the blade, and in the other hand, a light knife was condensed, and it stabbed straight towards the elusa.

Rusha was startled, but reacted immediately, turning into a black shadow to dodge Royalt's counterattack and retreat a few meters away.

"Soul ......" Rusha whispered, and the blade on the side of her wrist spread out a little more, extending to her elbow, exuding a black aura. In an instant, Rusha disappeared from Royalt's sight and reappeared in front of Royalt, crossing her arms and rushing towards her.

Roart frowned, his eyes covered by bangs emitted a glimmer of light, and he saw the power of Rusha's attack clearly through his own covered eyes, and he didn't dare to resist with his light knife, but chose to dodge.

"It's not bad, your strength can indeed assist Brother Artfans." After dodging Rusa's attack, Loart threw the light knife at Rusa, and then stopped.

Rusha turned around and slashed the light knife, surprised to see that Loat didn't seem to want to fight anymore.

"I don't mean to fight you, I just want to see if your strength can really help Brother Artfans." Royat said with a smile on his face.

"Why ......" Rusa was puzzled by Roat's behavior.

"I respect everything Brother Artevans has done, all the decisions he has made, he is the object of my longing, how could I hurt Brother Artevans." Rodat withdrew the power of his overflowing oracle and explained to Rusa that he was unwilling to continue fighting.

"Nightmare with a demon core, if you can help Brother Artfans, I'm curious, and I'm happy to observe." After Royat said this, he thought that it didn't seem to be practical.

"You, surveillance?" For a moment, Rusa remembered the chill she had felt when she wanted to explain the situation of the inner space to Artfans.

Is it really Roat, Rusa isn't sure. Because, Roat didn't show his oppressive side, and Rusha felt the despair completely at that time, and that was a moment she will always remember. Also, Roat doesn't seem to use ice.

"Surveillance? Who knows, if I had that ability, I'd be more than happy to see what Brother Artevans had to do, it would be very interesting, wouldn't it?" Royat was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Rusha was talking about, but he answered anyway.

Although he couldn't see through it, and he didn't know if Roart was the one who had cast the illusion on him, he didn't show hostility from beginning to end. This also reassured Rusha a little.

"Oh yes, Brother Artevans and Sister Talia fight, don't bother them." Just as Rusha was about to leave, Loat suddenly spoke.

"Lord Artevans, Guard." Rusha said categorically.

"I don't think Brother Artevans needs it. Moreover, although your strength is good, but Sister Talia, only Brother Artfans can handle it, and if you go, it will only be a burden to Brother Artfans." Although it seemed too straightforward, Rodat looked in the direction where Artevans and Talia were, his expression was serious, and he didn't mean to joke at all.
