Extremely Grim Situation

Zeno and the Fire Mage did not take further action, which meant that John and the others had successfully escaped.

However, for John, this was not something to be particularly happy about.

On the contrary, John's mood was very bad at the moment.

Because he felt that the situation he was facing was extremely dire.

While flying north on the Wind-Demon Pterosaur towards the awakeners' camp, John kept pondering why someone like Zeno had appeared.

Why was Zeno able to cause such enormous damage to the awakeners?

As John quietly thought, Eliza kept staring at him.

Eliza felt that John was different from any other awakener she had met. Most awakeners only cared about their own power enhancement and their status within the community.

John did not seem to care too much about his own strength improvement, nor did he care too much about his position within the Awakened Ones.
