Angor hoped that the magnificent creature would leave.
But the truth disappointed him soon enough. The serpent looked back again. It did not make a sound, but those plain yet meaningful eyes already told Angor what it wanted.
"Alright alright, I'll follow you," Angor said with a sigh. Previously, he felt safe when the Aster Barrier could help him escape wizard-level monsters. However, he didn't expect to run into one for real!
"Hey, Toby. Can you leave first and help me scout the area?" Angor tried to persuade Toby into leaving.
But the bird remained still on his top hat.
The serpent was swimming along with the water flow as well. Angor wasn't foolish enough to actually believe that a monster would be friendly to him, so he kept the Aster Barrier activated while he observed the surroundings to find a way out of the situation.
