With Fenrir dead and unable to rampage the town of Reinheart below, the cliffside was safer to drop from, so a couple of seconds after Mira’s words, the island fell.
The dead wolf’s body on the cliffside rapidly descended toward the now-empty base camp, and Evangel erged from beneath it, flying upward and landing on the mountain a couple of feet away from Coal.
Under them all, the cliffside sped through the air like an asteroid, straight at the ground.
If the cliffside hit the floor at the speed it was going, even an enlightened person could die from impact.
As Evangel stumbled forward, sweat dripping from her face and dust covering her usual snow-white hair, everyone beside Sage and Mira rushed forward.
However, before they could even get within a ter of her, she slowly raised her hand with her usual emotionless expression, signifying she was fine.
As Mira descended the staircase and joined the group on the mountain, Coal imdiately said to the exhausted Evangel.
"I don’t think anyone in the world besides you could have held on for that long...? We weren’t even holding anything, and we nearly fell unconscious from the wolf’s initial scream."
Nodding her head and hiding her face, Evangel turned to face Charlotte and sat down cross-legged on the ground.
Reaching into her backpack, Charlotte grabbed a case of water bottles she had brought along and spread them on the floor.
While Evangel silently grabbed a bottle, Levi, Coal, and lissa sat down around her and excitedly declared.
"Our savior!"
The fact that they could remain so jolly despite the intense fight from not even a minute ago surprised even Mira, who had taken a seat between Evangel and Charlotte.
Looking up at the light-blue sky and letting her hair fall back, Evangel finally spoke as she confusedly asked.
"How did it die?"
Seemingly waiting for the mont this question would be asked, Levi imdiately leaned forward and eagerly responded.
"We distracted it so much that it used more elental particles than it could handle and caused an internal elental reaction!"
Patting Levi on the shoulder, Coal leaned back and added in a calr tone.
"We got lucky the wolf did that. If that attack got out, all of us would have been goners, you know?"
Shaking Coal’s hand off his shoulder like a dog shaking water off their fur, Levi muttered.
"Luck this, luck that; just say we won, will you?"
"Alright, Levi, we won. Are you happy now?"
As lissa and Chae broke into laughter, Coal silently glanced at Evangel with an expectant expression.
Yet, he was completely ignored.
Emotionlessly shifting her gaze to Charlotte and Mira and seeing them nod in agreent to Levi’s answer, Evangel paused.
Though she had not been able to see the real fight as she was under the cliffside the entire ti, holding it up, Evangel had seen the invisible one.
Having had elental sight active the entire ti, she had watched the elental particles on the battlefield above her.
When she had seen a massive amount of particles gathered in the wolf’s mouth, she had prepared for the worst.
Steeling her mind, she continued holding up the cliffside with her two hands, not willing to drop it on the unprepared and defenseless students below.
She had lost one too many people to demonic beasts already...
Yet, sothing strange had occurred at that last mont.
The particles within Fenrir’s mouth had been completely under the wolf’s control until the last second.
Right before the scream would be let out, they all frantically surged around for so unknown reason, hitting each other within the wolf’s mouth and causing elental reactions.
Coincidentally, an unknown grey elental particle had appeared right below the wolf’s throat simultaneously.
Fenrir had made no mistakes.
The owner of that unknown elental particle had stopped the attack by sohow sending the wolf’s sound particles into a frenzy.
Scanning the area around her, Evangel looked for the owner and any traces of those particles, yet there was nothing.
Another person had disappeared, but that wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.
He always vanished without a word.
As everyone in the group eagerly chugged their bottles, Chae slowly retreated back to the wall where Sage was sitting alone.
As Chae slowly inched closer and closer to her, Sage finally sighed and muttered.
"What!?"
Jumping backward like a shocked cat, Chae paused for a mont before replying in a whisper.
"Where is...he?"
Kicking the ground and causing a cloud of dust to appear, Sage dropped her head and answered.
"If I knew, would I be here?"
Once again, she had been left in the dark.
...
...
...
*WHOOSH*
As countless voices reverberated through my ears, sending my entire brain into frenzy, a sudden mont of relief appeared.
I felt sothing...I did, finally.
A cold gust of wind suddenly brushed against the side of my body, cooling down my mind for just a second.
It was like a drug.
I wanted to feel the wind more and more.
I wanted it so bad.
The montary relief it brought from those voices would have caused tears to fall from my eyes if I weren’t paralyzed.
I didn’t care about anything else.
I wanted the wind so bad.
Just one more gust.
Yet, nothing ca.
It had abandoned .
Thousands of voices, muttering incoherent words, continued flooding into my defenseless head, and I was forced...to just lie there and take the pain.
Then, it happened.
After what felt like years, sothing I could actually understand echoed throughout my head, overpowering everything else.
It was a recognizable sweet tone, laced with a bit of sarcasm, but I honestly couldn’t care less.
All that mattered to was that it silenced all the other thousands of voices from speaking, freeing my head from that hellishly loud purgatory.
"You know, letting you out of my sight was probably the worst thing I could have done."
Then...I felt a slight tinge of pain on my forehead.
With that, the pain was gone, and the voices disappeared.
