Johan instantly grabbed her from her soft waist before she could attack and tore off Velmire.
There was a high possibility that Velmire could actually die, as all his defense spells were disabled due to Lucifer, and speed and physical fighting weren't the specialty of Velmire, while Kirin was one of the most skilled martial artists in the world.
Johan was holding her tightly in a bear hug, stopping all her movents. She could've still escaped from the hold and killed Velmire due to her superior strength, but she chose to give in, losing all tension in her muscles.
"Yes, calm down, we can use him. I am angry too, just like you, but Alya wouldn't want this." Johan lied with a straight face. This wasn't the ti for her to know the truth.
Sebastian sighed, watching it all with regret in his eyes. He had long learned the reality of what had happened and even felt conflicted about following Johan, but eventually, he gave up, trusting Johan's judgnt.
But his face did turn strange, his thoughts scaring him a bit, 'Master... he is becoming colder and colder by the day, even towards the family...' He felt a heavy uneasiness in his heart at the thought of his son getting tortured, but—
It was Johan's entire family, legacy, na, reputation, the life he had spent trying to build. This was his everything. And even though Sebastian was always the one to plan ahead, he still felt emotional this ti.
So part of him was screaming at him, 'Fuck plans, fuck strategies, fuck brains, fuck everything, just go save your son and keep the promise you always said you would...'
"Sebastian, do you have a telecon?" Johan's clear, emotionless voice broke Sebastian's thought chain, making him instantly pull out a palm-sized blue jewel.
He bought it while leaving the black market with other things they might require. Sohow, Johan had managed to generate a massive sum of money and gave him more than a thousand gold pounds.
This was enough to live a lifeti in the countryside, so buying everything was easy enough.
So ti passed. Johan chatted with Kirin a bit, letting her vent a little while lodis flew sowhere. He said to Johan that he had sothing important to do.
Johan couldn't really ask what it was, as they were equal partners, and he neither had the abilities nor the rit to ask a great spirit like lodis. All he could hope was that lodis would ultimately choose to help them.
Sky was growing orange in the east—sunrise close. No one had slept, their eyes could just not close. Even Johan, but it was because of the intense headaches from the corruption spreading in his body.
Velmire didn't trust them enough after what Kirin did to sleep and lower his guard—and to which both Sebastian and Johan understood. Kirin might actually suffocate the poor guy to death without him noticing.
Before the sun, a small bird made of folded paper flew, about the size of a butterfly.
Johan rubbed his eyes, calling both Kirin and Sebastian to him, while Velmire walked near them leisurely.
The paper bird elegantly landed in Velmire's right hand. As if understanding sothing, it started morphing—
Books. Tens of thick books slowly started manifesting from the paper, all with thick leather covers and fresh white pages. No markings on them, as if they were probably newly printed copies.
The morphing didn't stop at that. One of the pages of the book in Velmire's hand turned its pages on its own. A sheet flew from it.
Suddenly—
It molded, turning into the appearance of an extrely beautiful black-haired woman, her body petite and definitely smaller than giants like Beatrice and Kirin, but still her own charm, especially with—
The bright red pupils, and a black long dress with different kinds of fabrics making beautiful patterns over it.
Her face looked like that of a teen, and she was barely 5'2.
She was standing just inches away from Velmire, her cold face filled with emotions like worry, stress, and dark circles.
"I don't know why you ask for this at a ti like this. Are you alright?" she gently touched his face, as if trying to feel the warmth of it.
Velmire paused. His mind went blank, as if ti itself had paused, staring dazedly at her gentle red irises.
"Uhm, I am Jas. This is Marine, and William." Johan coughed violently to get the lovebirds' attention, charmingly introducing himself and two youthful pretty faces standing beside him with a stoic, depressed face.
Kirin was still glaring dangerously into Velmire's soul, making him shiver from ti to ti unconsciously.
Velmire's eyes opened, finally looking around. He walked closer to the group of three, still holding the ten books in his right hand, still chatting with Orihi.
"These are all the copies, right?" Velmire asked seriously, his eyes not moving from Johan's face.
"Yes. Everything in the treasury of the Jalona dungeon. And on another note, why the hell would you put your personal notes on Aether and magic in sothing like that dungeon!?" Orihi scread, clearly exhausted.
It wasn't as simple as making copies of sothing after picking it up from a clean, organized library. It would've been too easy with her ability to make copies.
She had to conquer a dungeon—a dungeon filled with stage 1 monsters and a sentient stage 0 monster who let her get to it without a fight. Otherwise, there was no way she could've reached here in ti.
Velmire's eyes twitched. "You killed all Velmirians?" he asked with genuine sorrow and regret.
'Velmirian!?' All four of them passed strange looks with each other, feeling like they didn't want to know the answers to whatever this was.
Velmire, without looking, passed all the books into Johan's hands, making him imdiately start to skim through the top ones.
Suddenly, both people felt a strange twitch in their hearts—a sign that 1 out of 3 conditions is fulfilled.
Johan sighed, passing the books into Sebastian's hands, making him stagger back a bit.
Johan turned back, staring towards Orihi with an evil grin, making Velmire frown and shiver inside his bones.
