The Tower's First Level (2)

Ed felt things melt into each other. His mind seemed to be lost in a misty forest. Nti Anem's urgent voice seemed to penetrate the mist and reach his ears.

Yes! There was no one but him to fulfil the quest. There was no other outcome but his return. He will leave this mist and return just in time to save her life. That is the only outcome. At this, Ed's eyes cleared.

Seeing that he was better, Ku Jian and Nti Anem sighed a relief. Both wished they could tear Baskii apart as they slapped him a glare.

"What nonsense are you playing at?!" Ku Jian fummed.

Ed turned to look at Baskii dangerously. "You think I dare not kill you?" he asked.

"Speaking is not a crime." Baskii said in amusement.

"The next time your energy touches me, I will grab onto it. You will die." Ed responded.

"Oh? Quite daring words, traveller." Baskii said.

"You wished to look into my mind. You are welcomed to. But be prepared to never leave." Ed warned.
