Ethereal Ascendance: A Journey of Transformation(Vol 5)

Vol 5/ Chapter 39: Pretending

"So it really is you?"

Soon, another unexpected thing happened. The female mage who ran away earlier came back on her own! She looked quite surprised.

I didn't understand what she was up to. Didn't they come here on purpose to catch us? Who else would it be if not us? Even though these two soldiers weren't too weak, they were far from being able to really fight us!

"You have no chance of winning! If you just want to catch us to get credit, I suggest you give up soon!"

To protect me and Cyra from being attacked again, Adrian didn't dare go forward. He could only frown and try to convince them to leave.

"Hmph, Memi, don't be afraid of them! I have to admit that guy is very strong, but those two girls behind him are really weak. There's three of us left, we might be able to beat them!"

Seeing the standoff, Apton who was forced back earlier also came out from the corner. He stood next to the female mage with an angry face and shouted at us: "And let me tell you, I won't fall for that dirty trick again!"

"You dare call me weak?"

I was so angry! If I wasn't afraid of being discovered by showing my wings, I would have killed this guy already! True, I couldn't fight him head-on in my normal state, but if you really push me, I won't hesitate to turn him into dried meat!

But wait, aren't there only two of them now? Could the third person they mentioned be...

"Haha! You think we're afraid of you? Let me tell you, your other friend is even weaker than me, and I know where she is. I saw her hide with my own eyes!"

Before I could figure it out, Cyra already jumped in. She had quickly found the third person's location through her light element aura - hiding in a room behind us. It should be another light mage, but she hadn't come out since Adrian's sudden attack.

"Watch me drag her out! Flower girl, you have nowhere to run this time!"

Cyra turned around without another word and marched straight to where the enemy was hiding. She looked very confident. To be honest, the light element aura of this last person was really very weak. If you didn't pay special attention, it was really hard to sense their location. You could say it was even weaker than our wingless state right now.

"Hey! Wait, don't..."

Me and Adrian didn't have time to react, but Memi from the other side suddenly reached out her hand, like she wanted to stop Cyra.

In that moment, I suddenly realized something I had been overlooking - Memi's series of reactions when she last appeared! Could it be that her real identity was...

"Come out, you're dead—"

But it was too late. Cyra was already standing outside the door where the enemy was hiding. She kicked open the door and rushed in with a mean laugh. But soon after, there was a flash of light in the room. Cyra quickly ran out covering her eyes, rolling on the ground in pain.

"Waaaah, my eyes! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

I went to check on her and found that her eyes weren't really hurt. This reaction actually felt very familiar. If I'm not wrong, only "Five Light Ten Color" would have this kind of effect.

Which means, the person hiding in that room all along was actually...

"Cyra, why do you never learn?"

Sure enough, Reed's voice soon came from the room. But then a girl I didn't recognize at all walked out.

"You..."
