Lide was not clear about who the hidden enemy in the dark was, nor the specifics of their strength.
But from those cold, dull eyes, he saw hostility and felt murderous intent.
Therefore, without more information, he heightened his caution to the extreme and summoned Emi, a level 15 blasphemer.
He never believed in coincidences in this world.
A malicious life from the Abyss, and very likely a high-level demon from an alien race.
Appearing unprovoked at the door of the Crimson Mage Tower, and also showing murderous intent toward him.
Quickly retreating after Spark's arrival.
To others, this series of events might seem coincidental, but not to him.
As a hidden Blood Clan Ancestor among humans, caution was the most basic discipline.
Thus, he wouldn't rely on luck; he planned for the worst in any anomaly he encountered.
Suppose it really was a level 15 Great Demon targeting the Crimson Mage Tower for unknown reasons—what should he do now?
