Right after Ayana kicked him and saw him being sent flying because of her kick, her crazed expression turned into a panicked one.
"Ayana!" Nyissa opened her eyes and shouted with visible anger, seeing what Ayana had done.
"Forgive , Master!" Ayana imdiately realized the mistake she had made and bowed apologetically.
"You seriously forgot our iron-clad rule of not using our Odic Force on civilians or before them? You have made a grave mistake by breaking that rule and probably killed that young man with your kick," Nyissa said in a severe tone, making Ayana's eyes redden since this was the first ti Nyissa ever got this angry with her.
"I-It wasn't on purpose. And I promise I didn't deal him a killing blow. I only wanted to defeat him and not kill him. You have to believe , Master. I will go check up on him!" Ayana felt imnsely guilty because of what she did on the spur of the mont and decided to fix this on her own. She was also worried if she unknowingly injured him severely or at worst killed him by accident though she was sure she didn't deal him a killing blow even if he was an ordinary human.
Just as Ayana was about to turn around, Nyissa said in a firm tone, "No. How do you expect to find him in this fog? You will get lost, and the evil spirits always take advantage of those who are alone. You are not equipped to face them alone. Stay with , and we will resolve things once we take care of this problem. But because of the grave mistake you committed today, I forbid you from coming out of our clan grounds till I deem you fit to behave as per our rules rather than let your temper control you."
Ayana had a pained expression as she felt devastated by Nyissa's punishnt since rarely did she ever get to go out, and this ti it seed as if her Master wouldn't be allowing her to go out any ti soon.
"Please, Young Mistress. Please give one more chance to make things right. I promise to never break our rules ever again," Ayana felt her eyes becoming wet, feeling ashad and angry at herself for what happened.
"Too late, Ayana, and no amount of pleading will let you out of this. Haven't I taught you that it is okay to be or feel angry, but we should never let our anger take control of our mind. Instead, we should use it to our advantage by turning it into our strength. But what happened before only showed that you still have a far way to go. If you are getting provoked by a Regular, how are you going to be ready for what's coming?" Nyissa said in a serious tone.
Ayana drooped her head in sha and felt that she didn't have the right to say anything anymore since she knew Nyissa was right.
*Vwooooooo....*
The two heard the eerie wail again, and Ayana frowned as she asked, "Did we really anger the evil spirits? If so, shouldn't they have attacked us already?"
Nyissa slowly shook her head as she again closed her eyes, took in a deep breath, and opened her eyes again. But this ti, her eyes were glowing like a pair of bright moons with a mystical white as she looked around.
Ayana was yet again fascinated by seeing her use this ability and asked, "Master, are you seeing anything with your Odic Vision?"
The other five who had gotten defeated by Viktor slowly got up and stood behind Nyissa, feeling ashad of getting defeated by a Regular.
But still, they saw how preoccupied their Young Mistress was and decided not to get distracted by other thoughts.
"Oh my god...Impossible…" Nyissa mumbled as her eyes quivered, much to the apprehension of Ayana and the others.
"Master...what is it?" Ayana asked with an apparent tension in her voice since she knew her Master was one of the very few experts who could see the unseeable with her special eyes.
So if Nyissa was showing such an expression on her face, it ant that things were indeed not looking good.
The others also began to taphorically sweat even though the surroundings were becoming even colder at a slow pace, making them feel as if they were standing in between an icy purgatory, especially because of the suffocating stench of sothing rotten drifting through the whole place.
"Everyone, get back to the clan! We have to alert the others as well," Nyissa called out in an uneasy tone as she quickly turned around and said, "Follow my Odic Force!"
Because of her special eyes, Nyissa wasn't afraid of navigating through the dense fog. But the others were perplexed, wondering what she saw.
Still, instead of thinking about it, they imdiately followed her without question and sohow were able to follow her even if they themselves couldn't see through the dense fog.
"Master, what is going on?" Ayana asked as she ran behind Nyissa. She knew her Master wouldn't even run away from a daunting situation no matter what. But this ti, it seed as if she saw sothing dreadful and told them to retreat as well.
"The evil spirits...I saw thousands..no...a massive army of them approaching us from a distance! And also...." Nyissa trailed off as she saw soone or sothing else other than these countless evil spirits that gave off an even more powerful and malevolent aura than the rest.
However, Ayana and the others heard the part where she said an army of evil spirits and gulped, wondering what kind of a calamity was looming over them and shuddered at the thought of getting attacked and having their souls tornted by the frightening number of evil spirits.
But just as they continued to run down the hill, Nyissa suddenly mumbled,"Oh no…"
And right then, a terrifying change took place that made everyone stand frozen on their feet as they looked up with quivering eyes.
