In the lake, the dense thatch parted to reveal a large white bird, riding the wind and delicately hovering in front of Ivan. It was clear that this too was a summoned puppet creature.
The white feathers rather resembled the wing feathers of the magic pet, Lahr.
"Well then, let's have a look and see what tricks you have up your sleeve," Ivan said.
Seeing that Toyennes had only sent a living creature puppet, he didn't hesitate, and immediately jumped onto the back of the big white bird, letting it carry him to meet Toyennes.
The white bird flapped its wings and flew toward the endless expanse of the lake.
After circling a few times with no intent to stop and no other souls in sight, Ivan was not in a hurry.
Sometime later, a two-headed monster snake appeared, its ugly form carrying a familiar essence. If it wasn't Toyennes, then who could it be? From a scholar's appearance to his current state, anyone could see his downfall.
