Strange Worlds-Chapter 215: Aftermath

During their practice, Evan had already known that Aya’s strength was much higher than them. If not because of that, Silas would not allow Aya to practice on her own. But after seeing Aya’s strength and then seeing Aya’s injury, Evan’s heart couldn’t calm down. He wanted to get stronger, get stronger as fast as possible and reach Aya’s strength so that he could help her.

He didn’t want to be protected by Aya like that anymore.

"I’m going to train harder!" Evan said solemnly and then walked out.

Aya watched Evan’s back and smiled faintly. She was glad that Evan wanted to get stronger, but if he wanted to reach her strength, then it might take him decades to catch up. Because Aya was sure that she would still continue to grow stronger.

Besides, there was another matter that concerned her.

’The ghosts are increasing in number.’

When Aya was in the deep forest, she did see one or two ghosts and dealt with them quickly. With her strength, there was no problem in dealing with these ghosts.

But in this mission, Aya saw a lot of ghosts.

This made her realize that these ghosts should have gathered in some place and then got attracted by that powder after it was scorched. This meant that the number of the ghosts had increased dramatically. Even if they were only the cannon fodder level ghost, they were still hard to deal with for the people in this era.

This will be troublesome.

’I should check later.’

Right now, her mana was exhausted. So Aya went to eat a bit and then returned to her own room. Along the way, she didn’t see the White Family Patriarch and wondered whether he was also among the few who broke into the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s house.

Thankfully this time there were no casualties.

Otherwise, there would be some people who might not be able to forgive themselves.

Aya looked into the distance and then looked away.

It was not her place to worry about this.

...

Red Family Residence

Dean returned after the mission and looked at his house. His father had looked at him with worry and had to check him up and down before he went out, trying to reason with the Fourth Head of the Wansu City.

It seemed that this mission had given them a scare.

Then again, Dean himself was also thinking about the situation at that time. He’s the main defender in the team and whenever something happened, he would be the first one to charge forward with Aya. This time, he couldn’t react in time.

But if there was no Aya...

Dean looked at his hand and smiled bitterly.

He could use the secret technique of the Red Family to increase his strength dramatically for a short period of time. But it would exhaust his life force.

"It’s really a close one."

Dean looked outside, feeling somewhat at loss.

On their journey back, they were basically running at full speed with Yun on his back and Aya on Silas’s back. Even though Aya kept on complaining that she was fine, Silas didn’t let her walk until they were close to Wansu City.

And the others had no time to think about anything else because they had to run while paying close attention to the situation around them.

Now that he was in a calm environment, Dean was thinking.

Aya’s strength was far above them.

In the past, Dean never thought that it was a problem and continued to challenge Aya whenever he could to train himself. And when Silas allowed Aya to train by herself, Dean didn’t think too much about it.

But now...

Dean realized that he was too naive.

The difference in strength meant that he would be the one to hold Aya back during the mission. He never realized how frustrating it was to stand at the back and not be able to do anything but watch while Aya fought against that magic warrior.

He could only wait and protect the others behind him.

But the most important and dangerous position fell on Aya.

’I’ll get stronger.’

Dean took a deep breath and looked forward. He originally had to rest today but Dean was not in the mood to rest at all. He went to the training field that belonged to his house and started practicing.

He really didn’t want to experience the pain of not being able to do anything and just watch from the back.

...

Green Family Residence

When Yun came back, the first thing she did was to tell her father about her experience. Seeing her father, who was already aged, looked worried, Yun went to comfort him.

Yun’s father knew that he couldn’t do anything.

But he was not alone.

He went to see the Green Family Patriarch, asking the patriarch to help him get some explanation from the Fourth Head of the Wansu City. Otherwise, he really couldn’t swallow this breath.

Over the years, he had worked hard for the family and city. He felt angry when he thought that his only daughter was being targeted but there was nothing that he could do.

The Green Family Patriarch consoled him and made his way to the Fourth Head of the Wansu City’s office.

He would be the one to represent Yun’s father to ask for some explanations. Yun’s talent was really good and as the support in the team, she would be the first one to be targeted. So the Green Family Patriarch hoped that Yun would be able to grow safely.

After these things, Yun was staying in her home.

"Father, is the path of full support destined to always stand on other people’s back?" Yun suddenly asked.

She was actually used to standing behind the others.

Compared to her friends who liked fighting, Yun didn’t like fighting at all. If it was not because her talent was good, Yun would rather stay at home to take care of her father rather than going out to face the other magic warriors or those magic beasts.

As a support, it was Yun’s task to help her teammates at the right moment.

Healing, buffing, shield, and many others.

This was her role.

But today...

Yun couldn’t react at all when Aya suddenly fought against that magic warrior. All she could do was to stand at the back and watched as Aya fought bravely at the front and bore everything on her back.

It was really...

Painful.
