บท 751: An intruder

"That was bad, really ba—" Freezing, Eldrian spun around and started to gather mana around him. Summoning flames that brought light to the dark cave he was in, and a girl playing with the makeshift mana crystals he had made. 

"Who are you!?" Eldrian asked. Asking how she managed to find him, or how she had managed to get inside. That was pointless. She was here. He could ask that latter, if she was still alive. 

"How frightening! Is that how you welcome your guests?" The girl asked, throwing her golden hair over her shoulder and throwing a dazzling smile to Eldrian. Normally, that was enough to melt anyone's heart. 

"I don't have guests. Only intruders! I'll ask once more, who are you?"

"That is some—" The girl wanted to continue to play, but froze as her body shivered. A cold sweat covering her throughout. "I'm Jade!" she shouted in panic, realizing that Eldrian was seriously going to kill her if she continued to play around.
