The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Attack By Wizards

The elf walked around it, but even with his sharp eyesight, the height of the statue prevented him from seeing its face properly.

The next moment, their group felt a pulsation of an invisible force. Their heads snapped in the direction of the source, only to witness the sight of the elf floating in the air, his tall figure flying upwards towards the head of that giant god’s statue.

Oriana and Rafal were taken aback, especially Rafal, who had no idea that Yorian was a supernatural being.

The elf had no care for anyone at this point. As he forced his magic to levitate his body, casting a rough spell that wasted much of his core’s energy, Yorian finally reached the face of the giant statue.

It was indeed a familiar face. He could not believe his eyes.

’Am I mistaken, or does this statue really look like him? This can’t be. This...’

Yorian recalled that the man this statue resembled claimed to have no memory of his past.

’Could this be related to his unknown origin? A forgotten war god? Or did he somewhat help the human civilization in this part of the continent flourish in the past?

’It’s possible...humankind has a short memory, after all. Their legends, myths, even some religions are unreliable. Isn’t the legend of the black dragon blessing Megaris also a misunderstanding due to him meddling in human affairs a few hundred years ago...?’

Once Yorian came down, Oriana pretended to be calm. A part of her mind wondered if she too would be capable of flight in the future. On the other hand, Rafal resumed admiring the statue. He was aware that Drayce was not ordinary. It was not that surprising to find out that the people around him were not ordinary as well.

Seren asked, "What happened, Mister Yorian?"

"It’s nothing. I thought this god of war was similar to someone I know."

"May I know who?"

"A rather arrogant man," he replied vaguely, his grin showing amusement. "For now, I don’t wish to draw any conclusions. Maybe, I will stay a bit longer in Nefer to research about it. It would be interesting if it’s really him."

Seren didn’t force him, but then Yorian’s expression changed. His ears twitched and his brows furrowed as he looked in a certain direction.

The elf raised his hand, and bow and arrows appeared out of nowhere. He looked at Slayer and Rafal. "We have guests."

Seren paled as she felt a sudden change in the air around them. It was the same energy from those who tried to abduct her in the past.

"Black magic."
