"What kind of power was that? It didn't exude any kind of...readings. It was silent and silently consumed that person," Kronel muttered as he was sitting amidst the clouds with a dilemma.
Since Elk told him to observe Athan himself if he didn't believe in her words, he went to the pub incognito and observed Athan as well.
He was indeed shocked at the soul power of Athan but even more so at that black ethereal flame-like power which felt very strange to him.
"Damn! How can he have such soul power when he is just a zen order elite?"
...
Another half a day passed as Athan was still waiting for the killers to appear.
But who will tell him that he scared them away already?
The assassins were scared off, and Kronel also erased thoughts of needlessly antagonizing Athan just for the sake of testing him.
I'll be doing a time skip and wrap up this short break in Heaven's Tranquility in the next chapter :) After that, the story will be moving fast with time skips in training in CPD since it's time to enter the upper-chaosverse.
Oh yeah, the next chapter will be late...after I wake up. have a good day and good night.
