A day has passed by, Min Soo has yet to wake up from his slumber. The two gentlemen patch themselves up; preparing for the worst outcome they're only waiting for Kim Min Soo to wake up.
The woman earlier is a dangerous one, both of them know the status of that mysterious woman. She's a deity, there's no doubt of it; considering that she has thick mana flow.
Every experienced Visioner can detect mana flows of a person, the two gentlemen happened to be that experienced to know that their foe is no ordinary person. Kim Min Soo perhaps knows something that they don't. Not to mention, Kim Min Soo seems to know something that they don't.
"Who was that woman? Why did Min Soo know that woman? What's his affiliation with that woman?" Crow snarls.
None of them know who She is, but Min Soo seems to know who the mysterious woman is. The woman also mentions him being the key to stop Sanctus Luminera's chaos. The sports tournament is going to happen in a few days. However, the mage is laying on the bed; not showing any signs of waking up anytime sooner.
The woman messages toward him still puzzle him, she talks as if the end of Sanctus Luminera is near.
"We can't waste our time, we need to hold a meeting in regards to Nightwalker" Crow reminds David of his purpose. "Don't slack off, leader".
Tapping David's shoulder, Crow leaves the inn room with a sour look, probably exhausted from their fight against the Goddess. Since their injuries are quite severe, they have to delay their plans to regain justice on their side. David clicks his tongue, touching his bandaged body; there's no way they can execute their plan perfectly with their injuries.
Their encounter with the strange deity was unplanned, She accidentally delays their whole operation to a halt. However, David had a strange premonition that the woman's words hold to their end; that the fact the end is near. Moreover, Min Soo and David are involved in the cause of the world end, it is merely David's speculation
If his speculation turns out to be true, then he needs to pay more attention to that strange deity than doing the Nightwalker duty. Still, if Crow knows what's inside his head; who knows how he will react. He wouldn't be so pleased with what he's thinking, he will snap his head to reality like how he used to do.
Crow is the second in command for a reason because he's the one who reminds him of the importance of their cause for the people.
"But if the world will truly end like what She said" David whispers to himself in doubt. "Who are we going to protect, Crow?".

Blinking his eyes a few times, Kim Min Soo's eyes awakened due to the sound of someone falling near him. He opens his eyes only to see the sky has darkened and it's nighttime already. On Min Soo's left is Crow who falls on his butt first, fruits and food materials scatter on the floor the paper bag he's carrying is not that strong enough.
There's a visible hole on the bottom of the paper bag, Min Soo gets up from his bed. Somewhat sluggish and tired, he tries his best helping Crow gathering the scattered food on the floor. Crow glances slightly at Min Soo, a concerned expression shows on his cold face. After recovering the food, Crow helps Kim Min Soo to walk to his bed.
"You're careless" Crow sighs. "You do know you're not fully recovered yet".
"I know, but I feel bad" Min Soo gritted his teeth. "To be honest, I have no recollection of what happened after She cancels Her Mental Prison Magic".
Crow tells the whole picture, filling in the confused Min Soo. She left them just like that, She heals Min Soo's injuries instantaneously. David and Crow carry the fainted Kim Min Soo to the inn, they already finished patching themselves up. Crow just gets home from shopping, David sends him to buy Min Soo dinner since it's already late.
Surely, Min Soo is puzzled as to why David is not around; the Idol asks Crow the whereabouts of the explorer prince.
"Ah he's busy" Crow sighs. "You have to wait for him, he's in an urgent meeting right now".
"With the knights?" Min Soo tilts his head.
Crow doesn't look so certain, he looks absent-minded when the Idol asks him about whether he had an urgent meeting with the Knights. Crow merely nods at Min Soo silently, without saying anything. Kim Min Soo knows he's lying, but there's nothing he can do if Crow refuses to spill the truth.
As he promised, Crow brings pastries from the nearby bakery to fill in the Idol's stomach. Crow asks the innkeeper to cook Min Soo a delicious meal, Arkansas is quite famous for its culinary, especially Roast Chicken. Arkhansas City receives many supplies of chicken from the neighboring village.
The city is creative with its chicken culinary set, the western type of food can be encountered in Arkhansas City. As an Asian, Min Soo feels like he found a whole new world; he remembers the time when he did a world tour once; it was a pleasant experience to try other country food and learning their cultures.
Min Soo nibbles on the bread Crow gave to him, it tastes delicious as he expected.
"Oh yeah, that greyhound of yours" Crow sighs. "He won't stop following your scent, David consent to having a pet in the house but please don't trouble our leader".
"Leader?" Min Soo tilts his chin.
"Nevermind" he closes his mouth tight after that as if regretting what he said. "Forget I ever said anything".
Silence fills the room, as Min Soo continues to nibbles his bread; Crow then walks to Min Soo and pushes him roughly to the bedside. He corners him to the bedside with both of his arms pinning the poor idol on the wooden bed frame. Surprised, Min Soo clenches his bread by accident.
"I don't know why that deity is all over you, but you must be an important person" Crow growls. "You must have been considered as a threat by a divine deity, so what exactly did you do Kim Min Soo?".
Crow interrogates Min Soo intimidatingly, Min Soo swallows his saliva as their eyes met. His intimidating golden orbs meet with his bronze ones, but then Crow breaks his intimidating composure. Blushing and stuttering, Crow backs off from Min Soo, his heart palpitates quicker than usual.
"Crow? What-".
"NOTHING!" he screams at Min Soo while stuttering. "It's not like I am worried about your or anything like that".
Crow crosses his arm defensively.
"I'm just worried that David made a terrible friend, I want to know the truth of your origins Min Soo" Crow stutters.
Not even Min Soo knows the truth of his summoning, he was summoned to protect Sanctus Luminera from chaos. However, the Goddess who summoned him wants to kill him; which means the prophecy has changed. Something or someone must have pushed the Goddess to acts drastically.
The nature of the war itself is still unknown, he can't even find Tae Min. The Goddess once spoke that Tae Min was also dragged to this world, he was summoned by another God as a warrior as well.
"Well, that settles it," Min Soo thought to himself. "If I can find Tae Min, I might can find out what these Gods are plotting".
