Samuel's confusion didn't last long.
William and Ares soon reappeared on the big screen at the base.
Both were neatly dressed, without a scratch on them, showing no signs of a battle.
"What's going on?" Samuel clenched his fists. Ares had suddenly sought out William alone, then the two disappeared for a few minutes, and just as suddenly reappeared as if nothing had happened.
What was Ares really up to?
"Mr. Johnson, since that's the case, I'll take my leave now." Ares never intended to fight William.
Even if William really was a Mutated creature in disguise, he believed that William was on the side of humanity.
At this point, he felt it was also ti for him to leave, as more people were arriving.
William nodded, and Ares turned to leave, choosing not to fly away. In his view, flying away in front of Mr. Johnson might seem a bit impolite.
Due to Samuel's intelligence, human powerhouses were gathering at Arcane Village.
Evelyn and William were old acquaintances, and the two had been through a lot together, including a mix of love and hate that couldn't be simply explained in a few words.
Ares had found William quickly, and naturally, Evelyn wasn't far behind.
Just now, Evelyn had arrived at the school and was watching from a distance.
Before leaving, Ares glanced at Evelyn, considering her to be sowhat weak.
Whatever her purpose, it really wasn't Ares's concern.
Why should he worry about Mr. Johnson's affairs?
"Little girl, show so respect to Mr. Johnson."
Before leaving, Ares couldn't help but telepathically warn Evelyn.
Mr. Johnson was good-tempered, but if this young girl acted recklessly and decided to strike, she might very well end up throwing her life away prematurely.
It was a well-aning reminder from Ares, advising the young not to court death.
Evelyn just smiled when she heard Ares's warning.
She wasn't foolish,it was clear that William was no simple being.
Having inherited Morgana's mories and experienced so much, Evelyn naturally knew that William was an entity who had lived for at least three to four thousand years.
She had also fought William before, and his thods were terrifying!
Previously, many "demigods" were no match for William, not to ntion that Alice, who had been with William, had already beco famous. Was there even a need to question William's strength?
Evelyn had seen photos of Ares.
Could she really defeat soone whom Ares respected so much?
Most importantly, Evelyn no longer wanted to attack William.
When Evelyn was loyal to Hades, the secret technique she learned required severing her own emotions. The fastest way to beco stronger was to kill William.
This also showed that, whether it was the forr Morgana or the current Evelyn, their love for William was extre.
Now that Evelyn had beco a disciple of Moros, she no longer needed to rely on killing William to enhance her strength.
Upon reflection, secret techniques like the "Rite of Oblivion" of the underworld king, which required severing one's emotions to gain strength, seed rather absurd.
Killing the person you love most to beco stronger.
What was the point of gaining such strength?
"William, long ti no see." Evelyn's appearance had recovered, and after five years of enhancing her strength, her aura had beco even more unique. She no longer resembled the naive young girl William first t, nor was she as cold as when she had just inherited Morgana's mories.
William and Evelyn exchanged glances, and he nodded, "It's been a few years, hasn't it? How are you? You don't still want to kill , do you?"
Evelyn raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Even if I wanted to kill you, I probably couldn't, right?"
William nodded, "At least you have that self-awareness, good!"
Evelyn scoffed, "You're as confident as ever."
"Always confident," William replied, looking up. "You ca looking for this ti, thinking I was a Mutated creature?"
Evelyn sighed and asked, "Are you a Mutated creature?"
"What if I said I was?" William squinted.
"I wouldn't believe it!" Evelyn rolled her eyes.
Mutated creature?
Mutated creatures had only appeared in recent years!
William had been around since the dieval period,at most, he could be a Soulmancer.
Evelyn didn't believe he was a Mutated creature.
William replied sowhat irritably, "Then why ask?"
"Just kidding around," Evelyn said with a bright smile. "Shall we take a walk together?"
"Let's go!" William felt at ease,even if Evelyn was his ex, it didn't bother him.
It seed Evelyn had sothing she wanted to discuss.
"Aren't you afraid Alice will get jealous?"
The two walked around the school, and Evelyn casually asked.
William responded, "What's there to be jealous about? Besides, you talking like that really gives off a fem fatale vibe, which I can't really handle."
"Cough! Not at all!" Evelyn glared at William. "With the way you talk, I don't know how Alice puts up with you every day!"
"How can she not handle it? She's got a good temper," William said. "You didn't co here to rekindle old flas, did you?"
"I'm not that bored!" Evelyn actually didn't know why she liked William.
Back then, Morgana truly loved Arthur because Arthur was so dazzling, just like William is still dazzling today!
In fact, after Evelyn t William at the bar and thought about it later, William really was a good person. If Evelyn hadn't received Morgana's mories, if she had just been an ordinary girl, maybe she really would have ended up with William.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans.
In the end, she and William beca enemies, and now, it was ti to let go.
"I don't even know why I ca to see you today."
Evelyn walked under the shade of the trees, not looking at William, and said calmly, "Maybe I still like you, but I know it's impossible between us now."
William just quietly listened to her speak. Sotis, being a listener is also a form of courtesy.
Indeed, he and Evelyn were impossible.
Just as when he was Arthur, he did not love Morgana. Later, his interactions with Evelyn were not so innocent.
After everything was understood, the past was just smoke.
"Today, I think we should finally settle things," Evelyn turned her face, smiling, "I've let go already. Maybe I did so things in the past that disappointed you, but you also destroyed all my magic powers before. We're even now. If possible, let's still be friends in the future."
William shook his head, "We can't be friends anymore."
Evelyn's face stiffened, and she asked, "You still hate ?"
William replied, "I just know that if I still consider you a friend, Alice might be unhappy. Let's leave it at that! Don't co looking for anymore."
