Bab 287: "Damage Control"

(Manami POV)

Even though Master had told us to evacuate, there was no way that we would leave Master to face whatever that thing was by himself.

To abandon our dearly beloved Master just to run away? We would sooner die than let that happen.

I reiterated Master's order to Guiying and Elaria, both of them assuring us that they will carry out Master's order on our behalf while we prepared ourselves to rush to Master's aid.

Even if we had to die to protect Master, it would have been a life well lived for us.

But the world just had to spit on our devotion towards Him.

Even before we could rush our dearly beloved Master's side, some glowing bug just had to show up and whisk Master away.

The lantern wannabe disappeared from the sky before we could even start ripping him to shreds.

We immediately made our way up the mountain where Master had been, finding the debris of what looked like the remains of a hall built into the mountain.
