Chapter 67.1 - Let You Are a Prophet (1)
A full day had passed since they entered the forest.
The once incessant rain had finally ceased, leaving the sky still filled with heavy clouds. Perhaps due to this, the night that embraced the forest felt eerily dark.
But there were some exceptions.
Pa-ahh!
A flash of light illuminated the surroundings, chasing away the darkness.
It was the starlight created by Dilia. Although it emitted a subtle brightness, it was enough to illuminate the path as they returned to the base.
"......."
Dilia's face was noticeably tense. Naturally so, considering that the night of the second day of the exam, as prophesied by Noah, was upon her.
Any moment now, the Abyss Worshippers might appear.
With these thoughts, the anxiety that she had dismissed earlier crept back into her consciousness.
And at that moment
"It's okay. You don't have to be nervous."
a huge hand patted her shoulder. Ulan's reassuring touch. He spoke with a calm tone, "I've been scanning the area continuously since the evening, but I haven't detected anything suspicious."
From the moment the day turned into night, Ulan had not let his guard down. But so far, he hadn't sensed any presence that could be suspected as Abyss Worshipers.
As his response came to an end, Dilia suddenly halted in her tracks. Turning her body, she gazed intently at Ulan; her face was unreadable, dry enough to make it difficult to discern her thoughts, but Ulan understood what she wanted to say at a glance.
"Is there something you want to ask me?"
"Yes, I do," Dilia nodded, as if confirming the answer. After a moment, she looked at Ulan with a face full of curiosity, "How, you read expressions, my so well?"
She'd been wondering that since the beginning.
Even when they were in the same group at the entrance exam, Ulan could perfectly read what Dilia wanted to say or her emotions just by looking at her expression.
So, as she awaited his response
Ulan's answer came soon, "I just say what I see."
"You see my expression?"
"Very clearly," Ulan nodded. Of course, it wasn't like that from the beginning. Thanks to spending several years together in their past lives, he had become accustomed to Dilia's expressions.
On the other hand, Dilia, unaware of this fact, turned her head slightly and mumbled, "......Ulan, strange, strange man."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, very."
The more she knew, the more fascinating it became. But there was something different from the beginning.
At first, it was just a strange feeling, but now there was curiosity accompanying it. The curiosity to know more about Ulan.
I want to know more.
She wanted to know more than just his past, she wanted to know everything about him, his likes and dislikes, his favorite foods, his hobbies, his quirks. And the best way to learn about someone you don't know was to spend a lot of time with them.
Shortly after coming to this realization, Dilia pursed her tightly closed lips.
"You know what, Ulan!" Her voice was a little louder than usual. With a look of determination on her face, she hesitated before speaking, "Next week, when midterms are over, me and......."
You, Wanna go outside? Dilia thought about saying something like this.
Of course, it wasn't the right time to say such a thing, but she still wanted to get a clear answer. Unfortunately, she couldn't continue her words.
Boom!
Its body twisted, and countless vines poured out from its insides; hundreds of vines at a glance. They even sprouted sharp thorns.
If you got caught in one, you would be dragged away in terrible pain. After untangling the vines, Candira immediately launched an attack.
Quang! Kwagakak! Thud!
A barrage of vines rained down on the ground. After reducing its target to rags, Candira intended to savor its meal slowly. However, there was no apparent sense of impact.
What? Could it be that the target has dodged it?
As Candira's diminutive intellect engaged in speculation, it belatedly detected Ulan's presence.
He was right in front of it.
"Although I don't know the details." Ulan had not spared a single Abyss Monster during his travels through the Abyss. And he had no intention of making an exception this time.
Meanwhile, at that moment, sensing imminent danger, Candira unleashed its entire arsenal of attacks on Ulan. And soon, the result manifested.
Kwazik! Boom!
With the sound of something exploding, the creature's body exploded, and not just the body; flowers and vines were torn to shreds.
This was the price paid for intruding into a Master's domain.
Kwoooong!
The remaining torso collapsed onto the ground. A moment later, the body and its fragments quickly withered, turning into ashen smoke and disappeared.
The Abyss monsters had one thing in common they left no corpse behind, and instead, they turned into smoke and vanished, as if returning to the Abyss.
After concluding the one-sided hunt, Ulan activated his tracking ability again. This time, the results were different.
"Three more."
All of them were 'Candira,' not far from his current location.
Ulan, with a blink, turned back in the direction he had traversed, then directed his attention to Dilia, who lay concealed amidst the shrubbery.
"It's safe now. You can come out."
However, there was no response.
Feeling puzzled, Ulan took a step forward. After arriving at the spot where she had been, he once again called out her name, "Dilia?"
Still, there was no response.
After a while, Ulan realized.
Dilia, who had been here just moments ago, had mysteriously disappeared.
