Since it would only take two nights for the containnt procedure, it could've happened anyti during the one week ti fra.
Eryndor didn't really know the details, but since their own mission had a deadline of one week and that the two teams arrived in this Kantos town together, he simply took one week as their deadline too, considering they'll head back towards the academy together as well.
He knew that the headquarters of the Human Federation was in the Dawn city which was several hours away even by the aerial route.
Eryndor hoped the rescue team wasn't arriving from sowhere so far away, but instead from a nearby town or city.
There's also another problem.
Rodrick had probably already sensed the misfortune on him since we've deduced his plot.
But Eryndor had gone through several packets of information related to Rodrick now.
He knew that Rodrick was a cautious man, but also soone who was willing to take the risk if the benefits of success outweighed the risk of failure.
Rodrick would surely join the team on their mission. The allure of a Mystical Artifact was too great to refuse.
But since he had sensed the misfortune, Rodrick would act as soon as the timing was right.
There was no ti to wait around for the reinforcents of the Human Federation.
Eryndor ssaged Sander with a faint hope in his heart.
"Where has the rescue team been deployed from? How much ti will it approximately take to reach here?"
He got a ssage from Sander imdiately, one which made his heart sink.
"From the headquarters, Dawn city. Will take a couple hours. Why?"
He pondered briefly and sent all his findings, without exposing his abilities of course.
Sander knew that the young man Eryndor couldn't give proof for his speculations but from the experience just now, he figured the young man wasn't lying.
Everyone had secrets, and Sander wasn't interested in digging too deep.
On the other hand, his anxiety simply increased when he read through the ssage.
Who knew the anomaly which was under Rodrick's control would be one which had abilities related to fate.
It was one of the most troubleso domains to defend against.
If it was sothing tangible like elental ability or physical attacks, there would've been a larger possibility of their survival.
Sander clenched his fists tightly, before he abruptly rembered sothing.
He took out his phone and ssaged a person.
"I am calling in that favor. Now."
The person on the other end imdiately sent a ssage.
"Send the location and the details. Rember, I'll only make one move within my capacity."
Sander didn't reply imdiately but mulled over his words before trying to negotiate.
"Aren't you a human too? Can you not be stingy with your help? I'm willing to compensate if you save my sister."
"I lost touch with humans when I was kid, I've been raised by the Anomalies. What makes you think I resonate with humans?
"Off with the nonsense, I don't care about your sister. Are you calling in your favor or not?"
Sander gritted his teeth but helplessly replied a mont later.
"I am calling it. The file below has all the information. Do consider my offer again."
There was no reply on the other end.
Without being disappointed, he imdiately switched to Eryndor's chat.
"I've sent a person to your place. He should arrive within a few minutes. You can ask him to help you just once.
"He is powerful, and is good at several domains including but not limited to offense, defense, agility, ntal, elental, surveillance, etc.
"Oh yea, and his na is Erin. Use him well."
Eryndor heaved a sigh when he read the ssage.
It was a rare solace in this otherwise hopeless situation. Eryndor already knew how to make use of the person.
Before packing up the things, Eryndor sent a ssage to their group to start getting ready.
It was ti to move out.
Eryndor took out the equipnt given by the Academy and administered a particularly heavy dose of tranquilizing serum to a capsule and loaded it onto an injector.
He repeated the process with a few more capsules, till the leftover amount was just enough for the remaining infected animals of their mission.
He also loaded the pockets of his battlesuit with all the capsules of a specific type of antidote.
Paulina had replied to him just a mont ago about the type of poison spell used by Rodrick in the video of his battle during combat sessions of the Academy.
She also broke down all the spells learnt by him, giving him a rough idea of his combat prowess, and suffice to say, it was worrying.
Rodrick had one poison spell, two offensive spells - one for close range and one for long range, one defensive spell which covered his entire body, one surveillance spell and one movent spell.
All of his spells except the poison and close range offensive spell were at the peak stage of Mana Novice realm, which was the first level of the power system of Mages.
His remaining two spells were at the mid stage of Mana Novice realm.
After packing everything, Eryndor donned his Sovereign's Cloak over his battle suit.
It was uncomfortable, but Eryndor valued his safety over comfort. On top of that, this was the only ans of defense he had against fate type Anomaly.
He didn't fear the Cloak would be damaged. He had tried once, and nothing put even the slightest of marks on it.
A minute later, Eryndor stood in the living room with his battle suit packed with supplies. Since he had distributed it among the other three, the suits didn't look bulgy.
Eryndor told them the sa thing he had explained to Sander, without exposing any of his abilities.
The three looked surprised when they found out it was an Anomaly which dealt with misfortune and fortune.
All of them were aware of how rare that attribute was even among anomalies, and acknowledged that it would indeed be difficult to go against sothing as abstract as fate.
As they left their inns and headed towards the red area, Eryndor ssaged Sander.
"I hope the Human Federation has notified professor lissa about the situation."
Seeing that he didn't get a reply imdiately, Eryndor put the phone in his pocket and began leading the group towards the red area.
