Chapter 546: Zelos Reeds Change
Lets see Fran, you are somehow related to him, am I right?
Weena Rhyn asked Fran, who only had her head out of the water sphere a question.
Nn
Haah If Id known about it beforehand, I might have been able to prevent this, but Ive been so busy dealing with something that I havent had a chance to look through your files
My files?
Yes. When interviewing a staff member, the research office is supposed to provide a briefing on the person in advance. Well, in your case, since youre quite famous, theyve been gathering rumors about you from the beginning
She said they would gather information before the interview. So, they have a special department for that, huh? And then they would pa.s.s on the information they had gathered to Weena Rhyn.
Ive been looking for him since yesterday. Weve been trying to seal him up ever since, and we finally caught him this morning. It was finally going to be over and I was just about to take him to the isolation room
Then Fran came across him at the worst possible time.
When I interrogated him, he told me that he came from the Beastman Nation to the continent of Zilbert, but did you have a grudge with him?
Nn
Fran nodded and turned her eyes, filled with dark emotions, to Zelos Reed.
Kiara had told us not to seek revenge, but as expected, she couldnt just ignore it when Zelos Reed appeared in front of us.
Zelos Reed, who had been hit with killing intent, was standing behind Weena Rhyn, instead of running away. Weena Rhyn had said that she had caught him, but what about his current treatment?
As I said before, I still cant let you kill him. Besides, he is being treated as one of our temporary employees right now. So, we need to protect him, thats how it works. Well, I understand that it may not sit well with you, so Im not asking you to accept it right now
However, Id like you to choose the place to get your revenge on him next time
?
Just take a look around you
Around us? Fran and I then looked around us as we were told.
Then we saw a group of students who had been watching us from afar fall on their knees.
Ive made a barrier beforehand, so the damage is minimal But before that When you attacked him, the students got the full brunt of your power and intimidation
The barrier must have been the magic that surrounded the area after Weena Rhyn mumbled something back then. Apparently, it had the effect of blocking damage from the inside to the outside.
So, it was definitely our fault that the students were scared.
When Weena Rhyn appeared, I thought she looked like a dragon in front of us, but to the students, Fran was exactly like that.
I guess they were too frightened to even run away in the face of the mysterious being that had suddenly appeared, clad in super magic and spreading vicious killing intent. They were looking at Fran with a mixture of fear and terror.
Aah
This time, there were only a few students around, so we only suffered this much, but if it was in the town, the whole town would have panicked
Im sorry
She finally realized how little she had been aware of her surroundings. Fran then bowed her head with a heavy feeling.
Ara? Youre apologizing?
?? Because I did something bad
Youre quite an honest girl, arent you? Well, lets take care of him for the time being
Weena Rhyn then looked away from Fran, who was bowing her head and approached Zelos Reed, who was standing behind her.
Even though it had been prevented, my blade had slightly cut Zelos Reeds neck.
And at that time, she was clothed in Divine Attributes due to her Sword G.o.d Transformation. So Zelos Reed was unable to recover from the wound on his neck, and could only hold back the unstoppable flow of blood with his hands.
Just sit tight for a bit Divine Water Creation, Aqua Heal
Weena Rhyn waved her hand lightly as she created a new sphere of water. The water then clung to the wound on Zelos Reeds neck and began to glow dimly.
After a few seconds, a section of the slashed flesh rose and began to regenerate itself at high speed.
Shouldnt the Divine Attribute be quite effective against the evil G.o.ds? Or was it because she used a recovery based on the divine water?
In no time, Zelos Reeds wounds were healed. Then Weena Rhyn gave him an order.
Stand up
Yes
Although she had healed him, Weena Rhyns gaze on Zelos Reed was very cold. Without complaining about such treatment, Zelos Reed nodded quietly. His gaze turned to Fran for just a moment. He was neither frightened nor angry, just quietly staring at Fran. But that was impossible, to begin with.
Is this really Zelos Reed? His atmosphere has changed to such an extent that I doubted him.
When their eyes met, Fran began to glare at Zelos Reed again. This was not good. If this continued, Frans anger would flare up again.
When Weena Rhyn saw this, she raised her voice.
We cant even talk properly with him around, huh? Colt, take him to the Third Tower, Ive already spoken to the other side before
Oh, we forgot about Colt. We forgot he was here ever since Weena Rhyn showed up.
Are you sure youll leave him to me?
Ive put a seal on him, and Berthoudi and the others will keep an eye on him. Besides, he wont do anything stupid while he was still healing, right?
Yes
Im going to have a talk with Fran then
Understood
I dont know the details, but it seemed that something magical was binding Zelos Reed.
Also, call the other staff members to come and administer first aid to the students. None of the students is in any serious condition, but they can take a break from their cla.s.ses for today
Frans head drooped as she listened to the exchange between Weena Rhyn and Colt. She was probably regretting now that she had caused damage to unrelated students because of her hatred of Zelos Reed.
You should go now
Yes. Come with me
Okay
Zelos Reed then quietly obeyed Colts words and started walking slowly. So, he had really changed, huh? I guess I could call it a transformation. Was it because of Weena Rhyns magic? Or
Fran, why dont you just talk to me for now?
Weena Rhyns body then blocked Frans gaze, which was staring at Zelos Reeds back with a complicated expression.
Im going to release you now. I hope you wont run away. Besides, you must want to know about a lot of things, right?
No problem, I wont run away
Thank you. Then, Ill release you now
Weena Rhyn then snapped her fingers, and the water sphere that had been holding us disappeared.
Come with me
Weena Rhyn turned and walked away as the two of them landed. Fran then picked me up from where I was stuck in the ground and followed her with a short run.
