Tbate - Making A Much Lighter Path

Chapter 39 - Finding Nimo

The figure cast a suffocating pressure throughout the cavern as it stepped out of the gate. Even Sylvie, who had been so eager to leave, was frozen stiff as she helplessly peered down at the sight below.

As the rest of its body appeared through the teleportation gate, my eyes immediately became fixed on its horns.

The horns I'd seen on all of the other Vritras so far looked menacing-as if they were part beast-but looking at the two spikes protruding from above the figure's temples and veer back toward the crown of its head, they exuded a sense of prestige and regality, like a tiara placed gently on its head. Unlike the murky black horns I'd seen up until now, this Vritra's obsidian horns all but glowed like precious stones, contrasting starkly against its pearl-colored mane that flowed back past a set of narrow shoulder.

As the Vritra indifferently surveyed its surroundings, I was able to catch a quick glimpse of its face before retreating back behind the entrance of the tunnel out of fear that the Vritra would be able to sense me even with Mirage Walk activated.

'She looks Korean' I thought, the light skin tone and soft texture of her skin made it look like the kdrama actors or kpop idols in my world.

Seeing things in manhwa are really different compared to reality. Perhaps this is the only reason I came to darv instead of immediately heading back in the castle right after I killed Jagrette.

I already know about Radheas' intentions after all, why go here to spy on Seris if I already know.

It was then I realized that this oppressive aura had come from Seris. She possessed elegant features, dark eyes and a thin frame underneath a fur-trimmed obsidian robe, yet even amongst a crowd of dwarves, she appeared small and petite.

After a few seconds, I looked down once more.

"L-Lady Nezera?" a barrel-chested Alacryan soldier greeted as he remained genuflected in front of the crowd of kneeling dwarves, confused.

"Where is Cylrit?" the female Vritra asked cooly, facing one of the many Alacryan soldiers surrounding the gate and the kneeling dwarves.

The female soldier that Lady Nezera acknowledged immediately rose to her feet. "Commander Cylrit is currently stationed near the northern coast of Sapin, awaiting you before he begins his attack, Lady Nezera."

.

After we made eye contact, I immediately darted off with Sylv, not planning to prolong this adventure. We were able to leave the dwarven territory immediately, thanks to my perfect condition. If I came here wounded similar to the og timeline, me and Sylv would've taken a lot of time just to get out of this place.

'you're not wounded, Arthur.' Sylvie mumbled.

'yeah, Jagrette's too weak for the white core mage lance.'

'here we go again with the arrogant attitude.' she replied, to which I laughed.

I've really grown confident these days, It feels like I'm an op mc from a regression manhwa. Someone who knows what will happen in the future and someone who knows what to do in the future.

'Thankfully, there is still little to no butterfly effect ever since I came to this world. Well except the fact that Tessia is stronger in this world, a lot of the students in Xyrus survived when it was attacked, Aleah is still alive... No, maybe I brought too much change'

I changed too much, and the unsettling lack of immediate consequences fueled a strange cocktail of anxiousness and exhilaration. The weight of my altered actions pressed down on me, a constant, low hum of unease beneath the surface of my excitement. Had I irrevocably altered the timeline? Would the repercussions manifest in subtle, unforeseen ways? The uncertainty was almost as thrilling as the knowledge that I had, for now, escaped any direct punishment.
