Chapter 97: Unexpected!

Desire and Jarina were able to get back to Jakart in no time at all.

After all, Jarina's speed was something that one could not underestimate.

However, there was a problem that the two didn't expect to have at all.

And that was...

"How do we get in?" Desire said as he looked at Jarina.

He was standing on the ground right now and wasn't being carried by Jarina.

Desire then whipped his head back towards the city of Jakart.

He was looking at the walls that were so huge and long that it was able to reach the sky.

The walls were circling the city around, but Desire couldn't even see the part of the wall where it turns!

It was that big, and even Desire could see that this wall was built to protect the people in it.

However, that was the least of their concerns as Jarina spoke.

"I didn't think about this." Jarina said as she tilted her head.

She didn't really think about what would happen once they returned.

She was able to come out of the city of Jakart pretty easily because no one could see her because of her speed.

Besides, even if someone could see, Jarina could just go on her own way once she gets out of the city.

However, entering the city is entirely different. It is because there are people guarding the city, gates, walls, and everything in it.

Those people were obviously the city lord's guards and some of the adventurers who had a guard's job for the day.

And even Jarina couldn't ignore the forces here. Besides, if someone were able to sniff out that there was someone who was infiltrating, they would investigate the city.

Even if Lionel is a clan master in this city, even he wouldn't be able to say no when an investigation comes in the name of safety.

What's more, Jarina and Desire must not be seen by other people in the city.

If their identities were somehow to be revealed, Lionel would find himself in a difficult position.

After all, Jarina and Desire could be considered Lionel's weakness at this point.

That was why Jarina couldn't use the badge that contains the mark of the Lion Clan.

'No one has seen my face.'

Jarina knew that no one had seen her or Desire's face while being inside the Lion Clan.

That was why flaunting the badge boldly while having no one to confirm their identities except for Lionel is just a bad move.

Even if they were able to enter the city without having to confirm their identities with the badge, people would start suspecting them.

After all, members of the Lion Clan are pretty famous in this area.

Almost all of the people here knows almost all of the members of the clan.

Of course, even the weakest and tiniest members of the clan are known too.

And if Jarina and Desire were to come out having that kind of badge while not being known, it is basically saying that there are some secrets going on.

Rumors would flood, and their identities would be revealed sooner or later.

And that would lead to them being targeted because they are Lionel's weakness.

In the end, it all boils down because they were someone special to Lionel.

"What do we do? Do we call someone else to have us enter it or what?" Desire said as he looked at Jarina once more.

He knew what it meant for them to be discovered right now by other people.

That was why he was getting worried.

Although they were still far away from Jakart, they were standing in a place where one could see them.

They didn't have any covers or something like that. This place was a plain land.

And there is a chance that someone might come here and see them acting suspiciously.

After all, they were indeed suspicious.

However, what was worse was that Desire's prediction came true.

Why? It was because Jarina could see some sort of shadow was moving towards them.

However, it wasn't slow! The shadow was fast, and it looked like the shadow was swimming through the lands.

Well, that's how shadows always looked like when they moved.

"What's that?" Jarina said as she squinted her eyes.

Because the shadow was much closer to them now compared to when Jarina first noticed it, she was able to tell the figure much clearer.

And what she could say about it was simple.

"A human?" Jarina said as she prepared herself.

She roused her mana and then prepared to use magic that would make them invisible.

Well, not really invisible.

"Desire, come near me." Jarina said as she whipped her head towards Desire.

Of course, Desire already noticed what was going on and quickly adhered to Jarina's instructions.

When Desire was close enough to Jarina, they both suddenly disappeared.

That was because of the magic that Jarina has set up. She covered the place where she and Desire were standing right now with mana.

And it made both of them transparent. That was why, if one looked at it better, one would be able to see traces of them being here.

However, if one only looked at it with a fast glance, one wouldn't be able to notice it.

After all, they were transparent. Desire and Jarina looked like part of the background right now.

"Why are we hiding, though?" Desire asked.

In Desire's mind, although they are definitely suspicious, no one would mind a child and a woman too much.

Most people who would see them would just look at them and won't think anything.

And Desire knew that's the most likely thing to happen here.

However, it seems Jarina was thinking otherwise as she spoke.

"That human...he's strong. I can feel it from here."

Indeed, even though they were far apart from each other, Jarina could feel that the human approaching them was strong.

"He might even be able to tell I am Suckus."

And when Desire heard that, he widened his eyes.

'A strong human...' Desire thought as he finally remembered.

He remembered why he went through great efforts to attain the Heavenly Demon trait.

He remembered why he wanted to get strong. He remembered.

'This situation...is dangerous.'

That the world he was living in was dangerous.
