CH. 77.19

Gorwin gradually raised himself up to stand and see who is the person getting closer.

"Hello.", Called Gorwin for the anonymous person coming closer, he wasn't caring about the bodies of the demons in front of Gorwin and was just walking towards Gorwin with both of his hands in the pockets of his long hooded leather black cloak, his head was slightly looking down and so the hood was completely hiding his face, this is the hell grade dark caster using Bethra's ember that entered the building by the help of the large fireball!

"Why does he look so calm like nothing is going on?", Thought Gorwin, he was getting worried by the calmness of this anonymous person, the only thing breaking the silence around him was the echoing of the footsteps of this intruder.

"Sir, were you sent here by professor Claus to help?", Asked Gorwin while trying to maintain his calmness but he was barely holding himself from breaking down from fear.

The anonymous person kept walking closer, he stepped between the corpses of the demons and was very close to Gorwin now.

"Sir, are you hearing what I'm telling you?", Asked Gorwin while taking a step back before he noticed something that made him become completely frozen, he noticed the boots of the anonymous person and his eyes widened in surprise.

They are having light burns over them, immediately, Gorwin started remembering the footprints he saw in the room that was destroyed by the large fireball, it's the same footprints!

"You were inside the large fireball, right? How did you survive?", Asked Gorwin in fear, the anonymous person was now passing beside Gorwin without even looking at him but after Gorwin asked the last question, he stopped beside Gorwin silently.

Gorwin was very afraid from this silence, he slowly looked to the right to finally see who is this anonymous person that suddenly stopped beside him, calmly, slowly, gradually, Gorwin was moving his head to the right in fear.

Finally, he saw the face under the hood, he saw stern look over this dark caster's face, and Gorwin felt like he was looking at the eyes of death now, mot just because of the scary look, the eyes of the dark casters started glowing green!

"Y-you are a dark caster, a hell g-grade dark caster, that's how you survived, you h-have a shroud for protection.", Said Gorwin in complete fear while stuttering and shaking, he's a feet close to a very dangerous man.

The dark caster just snapped his right hand fingers and immediately a wide green mark glowed below Gorwin!

Gorwin looked down but was mesmerized from fear, he looked back at the dark caster to find him started walking away in the same path.

"No, don't go this wa-.", Said Gorwin in fear while turning around and he was about to run to delay the dark caster from reaching his friends, but immediately, the wide green mark of the Bethra's spell eruped in enormous amount of green fire that completely engulfed Gorwin and his voice went silent at once! This dark caster's fire is even stronger than vossler's!

The dark caster kept walking like nothing happened and left the young innocent elf behind to burn to ashes, no, not even ashes, cause Bethra's ember doesn't even leave ashes behind.

Back to he front of the research department, Nigel and his 3 colleagues were at the end of it's hallway, they were looking right now and waiting for the demons whose voices were getting closer by the time.

In front of them, there were 4 strange looking devices, they were just like the one that Nigel used to destroy the ice block and the gate, beside of each device there were 2 bags, those bags were having a faint blue illumination coming from inside.

"So, what are we going to do now, Nigel?", Asked the female elf in worry.

"We will use my busted prototypes as a weapon.", Said Nigel calmly while checking on each device to make sure that everything is going to work just fine, the elf who had a quarrel with him was standing distant away but watching them.

"And how is that going to work? What were even those prototypes?", Asked the friendly male elf while looking at Nigel in incomprehension.

"Those are the prototypes that I was working on while trying to create a conservative divine energy injector, these prototypes were all failures because I was mainly focusing on the divine energy leaking and completely forgot about the injecting tunnels, they were always narrow and so, during the flow of the raw divine energy for their injection outside of the injector, the di-.", Said Nigel before his female colleague interrupted him.

"The divine energy burst aggressively outside of the injector in an irregular manner causing serious damage.", Said the female elf, Nigel looked to her then nodded positively.

"So you basically succeeded, you just missed a completely different part.", Said the friendly elf.

"Indeed, the project is done by the way, a year ago.", Said Nigel calmly before finally standing up after checking on the devices.

"You know well that I didn't understand a single word from what you've just said, right?", Said the less friendly elf while approaching Nigel.

"That's because you're a tactical divine caster, we're divine energy researchers, this talk is mainly what we do.", Said Nigel calmly without even looking at the elf that he quarrelled with.

"In understandable words, Nigel, what are those things?", Asked the less friendly elf.

"Consider them as a tiny version from the radiating towers, did you get it now?", Said Nigel calmly while turning to him.

"You will be using one of them, since you can only use the earth divine art, then you're just like us here, your divine art is useless here as you said, we've to work together to get out of here alive, I still need to go and help someone, so come on.", Said Nigel in a serious tone.
