Quirking his eyebrow at the people's tense expression, Basil hummed to himself in wonder. He had announced his presence clearly because none of them could detect him even though he had been faintly exuding his Mana.
He had just wanted to not shock them by suddenly appearing amongst them, but contrary to what he had expected, announcing his presence had shocked them quite greatly.
Since there was a possibility that they were just shocked at the fact they couldn't sense him until he announced presence, Basil immediately shrugged it off, and walked towards them with a smile.
They immediately stepped back the moment he did so, and that made him think what made them so cautious towards him.
Frowning lightly, he retracted all of his Mana and Qi. The moment he did so, the people relaxed visibly, and that made him chuckle in amusement.
"Has the Monsters exhausted you that much—you can't even recognize your ally?" Basil quirked his eyebrow. "Have you forgotten who your Master is?"
