Serron waited in silence for Jane to finish choosing a new Job.
The gentle smile on his face sticks tightly to his face like chewing gum firmly on the soles of your shoes.
Soon Jane finally managed to choose a new job.
Jane turned around only to find Serron still standing there.
Her facial expression fluctuated slightly, bringing Serron's smile to become wider and wider, before Jane managed to calm herself down and return to the calm graceful face typical of a good elven princess.
"Are you done choosing?" Serron asked.
Jane smiled calmly hearing that.
"There is a Job that I see would suit me, so I chose it." When Jane said that she started walking past Serron, gently hinting that she didn't want the conversation to continue.
However, Serron seems to ignore or not grasp the gesture given by Jane. He walked beside Jane.
"By the grace of the Nature goddess! That job must be a great job because it managed to catch your attention, Princess!"
Jane is starting to get annoyed with the behavior of this old man (Serron looks young on the outside, but his age should have entered the grandparents' area even for a race with a long lifespan like Elves).
Why did he approach me? Jane frowned inwardly.
Right at that moment, Jane and Serron walked past the Lunar Queen statue.
Serron surprisingly stopped walking and stared at the face of the Lunar Queen statue.
Jane subconsciously stopped walking as well because she was curious why that old man had suddenly stopped.
Staring deeply at the Lunar Queen statue's face, Serron asked, "Are you perhaps choose the Lunar Queen's second Job, Moon Caster, Princess Jane?"
"Moon Caster?" Neither Jane nor Lena had ever heard of Job by that name.
"It is said that the Moon Caster is the figure who directs their Mana to the height of the Moon. They have the ability to borrow the power of the Moon and are even able to use strange magic that makes one lose their footing on the surface of the world," Serron turned to Jane, "A strange and powerful special job, that is Moon Caster."
Serron's gaze this time not only made Jane feel uncomfortable, but somehow gave her goosebumps.
Cold sweat involuntarily began to flow down the side of Jane's face.
"I..."
Jane was just about to say something, but Serron interrupted her.
"You don't seem to have chosen this Job, I understand. Thank goodness."
Serron smiled happily.
It seems like he's happy? But, because of what? Jane really couldn't understand what this old man named Serron was really thinking or trying to do.
Jane's poker face has been completely destroyed. The expression on her face really reflected the discomfort she felt.
Unable to take it anymore, Jane turned around and started walking away towards the downhill stairs where the World tree was.
"Mr. Serron, I still have a lot of things I have to do. Let's continue this conversation on another occasion."
Jane stepped away, subconsciously walking half-running.
However, she failed. She felt that her left arm had been grasped by someone's hand.
As for who 'someone' is...
"Mr. Serron, I..."
Jane was just about to pull her arm forcibly, but she suddenly received a voice transmission from Seearial.
{Your Holiness, he's attacking!}
Jane looked at Serron when she heard that.
She saw that one of Serron's arms had been enveloped by a strange mist-like dark mana. Serron directed the arm's grip towards her.
This crazy old man...!
Jane retreats to avoid Serron's grip while creating a ball of air pressure that will explode after an impact with the help of Seearial. She launched it towards Serron.
The ball of air pressure shattered after hitting Serron's chest and threw Jane and Serron apart.
Jane quickly stabilized her body balance and checked her left arm.
Sure enough, the skin on her arm was red and looked almost injured by Serron's strong grip.
Jane glared at Serron who was standing unharmed on the other side.
"What does this mean, Mr. Serron?"
Serron was still smiling even in a situation like this.
"Well, well, as expected. The existence of that little fairy will indeed be a little troublesome."
He can see Seearial...!
{Your Holiness, this man is dangerous!}
Jane and Seearial quickly retreated a few tens of meters after hearing Serron's words.
Serron laughed a little at Jane and Seearial's dramatic reaction.
"Don't be afraid, Princess Jane. I just tested you earlier."
Jane spat at that.
"Test? Are you kidding, old man?"
A bow with the appearance of a collection of rose stems with transparent red petals appeared in Jane's hand.
It was the Rose Wind Bow that she had obtained from the Small Golden Treasure Chest after completing the previous Event: Stolen Elf Princess!
[Item: Rose Wind Bow.]
[Item class: Super Rare.]
["Bloom, achieve your freedom and identity," that is the meaning of the carving on the bow stem. This is the Bow that is said to come to anyone who tries to grab back what is missing from they.]
[+5 Fate Power.]
[+100% Arrow Penetration.]
[+100% Arrow Speed.]
[+60% Arrow Damage.]
[Growing Item.]
Jane borrowed Seearial's magic once again and began to create arrows while remaining vigilantly watching Serron.
Jane immediately placed her arrow on her bowstring after it was successfully formed.
Jane's Emerald eyes began to glow faintly.
Serron narrowed his eyes at Jane's bow.
"I have been sure that you did not bring a ring or a storage bag before. From where did you pull out the bow, Princess?"
Jane smiled mockingly in response.
"You think I'll answer that question?"
Serron looked at Jane and laughed.
"You're right too. Excuse me, that was a stupid question that came out of me, the Goddess gave me a lot of curiosity, you see. Well then, my Princess..."
Serron grinned and spread his arms.
A terrifying amount of mana began to gather around him.
At this moment, this place had practically been filled with dark mana.
The air turned cold due to the drastic change in the composition of the surrounding Mana.
Jane retreated slowly.
Both of her hands had been trembling since just now.
Scared, incredibly scared, that's all Jane could think of to describe what she was feeling right now.
Seearial had already started preparing herself to enter the Perfect Synchronization mode with her just now.
At that moment, the amount of dark Mana had enveloped almost the entire World tree's peak.
Jane's eyes became sore just by staring at the intensity of Mana, which was so terrifying.
But...
... The attack that Jane had hoped would come did not come.
"Oh?"
Serron was initially seen widening his eyes, looking surprised, before suddenly pulling back all the dark mana of his.
Serron chuckled before turning around and walking back towards the temple slowly, as if nothing had happened.
"Young romance, hm..."
That sentence was all that Serron left behind.
"Hah?"
Jane was completely caught off guard by the sudden change in the situation.
"What the hell?"
Jane and Seearial looked at each other and could only sigh.
They didn't know what reason Serron had given up on attacking, but it was a relief that they didn't have to fight with an old creature like Serron.
No, in the first place, why did Serron even attack me?
Jane stood still with a frown, contemplating Serron's gestures and words that she had managed to remember. Jane tries to understand Serron's motives.
However, shortly after her reflections were shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind her.
"Jane!"
Prince Alyvard came.
