'The more I find out about Ariad, the more powerful he appears to me
I'm starting to think he's more than an ascetic from a small sect. He's either some families heir or is actually a part of the world's greatest sects'
Adam thought as he approached Ariad, however his attention wasn't focused on his silver haired companion, instead he focused his eyes on the three phantom images that appeared just before where Ariad stood.
"Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment Ariad, can you please step back a few meters, you're interfering with my art, thank you"
Adam added as he flashed a smile to the silver haired man who complied almost immediately.
"Oh and Hagen, can you please head to the temporary base and provide support to the girls?
I have a bad feeling about all this"
"Roger that boss"
Hagen replied, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead he glanced towards Ariad, nudging a bit in his direction as he sniffed the air.
