Chapter 347
🕑 Added 2025-01-14 02:00:14 +0000 UTCThe dinner that night was tense because of the dangerous crime that happened and the criminals weren't caught yet making everyone feel a little afraid, even Anton. He wasn’t scared for himself because his defenses were high enough that he should be able to weather any physical or magical attack without any problem.
Anton's character's armor and accessories, which also translate to real life, were prodigious. To be honest, he didn’t know the limits of his defense and knew that he should take some time to test them it was just he didn’t know how.
For the physical part, it was easy enough which was just to have someone physically powerful to hit him that wouldn’t cause debilitating injuries if his defenses were penetrated. The magical part was tricky since he didn’t know any mage that was powerful enough to threaten his magical defenses that he could completely trust with knowing his possible weaknesses.
After dinner, at first, Anton thought that some would ask to watch a movie or a television show but apparently, the fear that was brought on by the situation wouldn’t allow anyone to concentrate on something trivial however enjoyable it might be.
Everyone decided to just mingle inside the suite and wait for anything to change. Antonia and the others were hopeful that the situation would be resolved soon since the powerful mages on the Amelia were already working on it. They also decided to rest early and Anton’s four rich friends from New Drennor decided to stay with their family since that would allow them to feel more secure even though their places supposedly had people capable of guarding them. Anton was a bit surprised when Antonia, Lucia, Walter, and Phillip trusted his summoned creatures more.
“Anton, can you summon your golem and your bear when we go to sleep? I will be more comfortable to know that those huge monsters of yours are there in the center of the suite guarding us,” Lucia said before entering the room that she would share with the others to sleep.
At least with the new suite that they transferred to, there would be enough rooms that more people could stay a while but even if there were fewer rooms, the girls were too scared to just sleep in pairs and decided to group.
Anton heard Anna and the others talking to Ramona, Belinda, and Lunelle about which room they should stay. They planned to stay together in a room with some of the wolves by their side guarding them.
“The golem and the bear are too huge to be summoned. It will be harder for the summons to move with limited space and I think the wolves should be enough. I can summon them anytime if I truly need to,” Anton replied and the other had to accept that fact.
That night they started resting but as per Anders’s command, all the doors remained open so the wolves could enter immediately if something attacked them.
Normally, it should not have been a restful night but with the help of the pearl of the ocean for Anton and the coral comb that was passed around, everyone slept peacefully aside from the people that were assigned during the hours that they were supposed to remain awake.
Lucas and Anders created a shifting schedule for some of the others. The first shift would be the female bodyguards, then Devon and Lucas, then Colin and Fredrick. At first, Anton told his father and Lucas that the wolves should be enough to guard them and there wouldn’t be a need for the others to remain awake but his father and Lucas insisted.
Anton thought of entering his Diablo II system and leveling up his Paladin before going to sleep but he felt a little tired so he decided to sleep immediately. He was woken up by a commotion though after a few hours and when he checked the time, it was only around two in the morning.
Everyone went outside their rooms and they saw Devon opening the door for the Supreme Adinor and two of his assistants. They were actually woken up by the Supreme’s frantic knocking on their door.
When Supreme Adinor saw Anton, the powerful mage approached him hastily.
“Anton, your wolves were killed. Three archmages were patrolling around Hallways A and B since those were the locations where we thought the next attack would be held and we were somewhat correct. Your two wolves howled and ran towards Hallway B and the three archmages that were with them were left behind but they did follow as fast as they could. One of the families in Hallway B was in the midst of being attacked by three men, possibly more who were wearing black according to the glimpses that the mages received,” Adinor said.
Anton invited the Supreme Wizard to sit in the living room and continued telling him the happenings that night.
“When the mages that were accompanying your wolves arrived, the wolves were just destroyed by the men but the mages were still far away so I apologize for that. You wolves did wound a couple of the men in black and since we’ve gotten a hold of some blood, we should be able to trace the group of men soon.”
“You don’t need to worry Sir since my wolves are just summons and I can summon them again without any issues,” Anton then summoned two new Spirit Wolves and he saw the Supreme Adinor smile.
Anton was shocked though since as maximum-level Druid with powerful gear and maximum-level Spirit Wolves, his wolves were powerful and no ordinary men could destroy them. The fact that they were destroyed in a few minutes meant that the enemies were very powerful.
Supreme Adinor left with the two new Spirit Wolves but before he did, the powerful mage said that a lot of archmages would continue to patrol and this time, they would be in a group of four for protection. The supreme also said that the two wolves would be separated into two groups so they would be able to cover a lot more area.
After the supreme left, Anton remained on the couch thinking deeply and Anders noticed that something was wrong.
“What happened Anton? Why do you suddenly look worried? Earlier, you were calmer.” Anton’s father asked.
“My Spirit Wolves are very powerful, Father. That means that the enemies this time are very powerful. We need to be more vigilant,” Anton said which he thought was a mistake because the girls in the suite became more scared.
“Don’t worry too much Anna. Do you want me to summon the Dire Bear?” Anton asked and Anna nodded so fast it was almost funny.
Anton looked around and the women looked like they agreed with Anna. That they would be calmer with the presence of the powerful dire bear. He accepted then that if they were attacked and the bear had to take action, the suite would be destroyed. Antonia should be able to handle any damage that their rooms would receive if that was the case.
When the Dire Bear appeared, Anton was correct. All the people, not only the women, took comfort from the presence of the bear. He knew that they would even like the Clay Golem to be summoned as well but the suite really wasn’t big enough for the two monsters.
After that, they all went back to their rooms to rest but Anton saw that most of the people were looking at the bear and Anna even climbed on top of the bear that was lying in the middle of the suite.
What was funny was, that some of the girls joined Anton’s sister so now the bear was surrounded by girls. He hoped that the situation would be resolved soon since everyone was truly frightened.
