The Priests dazedly hid in the barrier for awhile. Then they suddenly made up their minds and began a frenzied search of the entire forest for Benjamin.
Unfortunately, every one of their movements was observed by Benjamin using the water particle detection spell. And because of that, they didn’t have any success in finding Benjamin at all, and instead alarmed many of the magical beasts in the forest. Some innocent squirrels and raccoons suffered because of that; they were reduced to ashes by the fury the Priests took out on the environment.
About half an hour later, the expressions on the Priests’ faces were close to despair. Everyone was red-faced, one of them even looked like he was ready to cry.
They scanned the surrounding forests with angrily, like their emotions were piled up to a certain extreme. They suddenly turned around in unison, no longer looking around, and instead headed towards one direction without even a turn of their heads.
