When he heard Minos' voice calling him, Mortimer, inside that island, looked back as if he had heard a ghost calling him.
He hadn't been out of there for years, and even though he had the feeling that someone was watching him, he didn't think Minos would casually approach him.
To him, that man was in the northern region minding his own business and would not come to him without him causing trouble. After all, Minos had beaten him and could have come after him at any time in the past six years. However, at no time had that ever happened.
So when he heard that voice, as he felt his body shivering, Mortimer did not consider it to be Minos, but rather a voice from his demons, a hallucination.
He turned his face forward, trying to return his concentration to what he was doing. Still, then he felt a powerful spiritual fluctuation arising near his position.
This fluctuation was not alone, being next to someone Mortimer knew well!
