Chapter 118: Good And Evil

"I don't... recognize you..." The angel whispered in her ethereal voice, causing Wercia to jump out of fear!

Was she mistaken?

Yes, she was!

Wercia realized how much of a mistake she had made! Her eyes shifted toward Minato, who had been looking at the angel with slightly widened eyes. His expression was far from the Reverend he had been with, making Wercia feel genuinely worried about her future.

That man was a good man since he saved many lives on his way toward Mount Targam. However, if he was their enemy, then Wercia was the person who had drawn him here!

Still, wasn't it weird?

If the Reverend Minato was their enemy, why would he ask a random person for guidance, to say nothing of coming into their land unprepared... He should've at least used some cover magic circles or other means to hide his identity, then dropped her somewhere within the Mount Tagram's lands!

Wercia hoped that nothing wrong would come out from this sudden meeting. What surprised her was that she didn't want to move, nor did her body tremble with fear. Was it due to the angel's holy ray, or perhaps Minato's goodwill reached her heart already?

While Wercia's mind brimmed with questions, the angel and Minato stared into each other's eyes.

He didn't expect to be greeted by the angel herself, let alone such a curvaceous one. That appearance suited Minato's taste. He would be more than glad to have a close relationship, just from the dual cultivation point.

It wasn't the reason for him standing frozen, however.

Minato's heart clenched.

That feeling was a no longer foreign one, however.

After the blonde-haired man's death and the voice coming from his Overlord Pillar, Minato knew that this feeling was related to the past or greater scheme.

It could be the very reason for the angel's sudden visit.

On the other hand, the angel pondered heavily... Actually, due to some internal matters, Mount Targam lacked many of its executive figures. Most of them went straight to the inside community, which was spread throughout the world as the dungeon's community.

A few of them still were left behind to protect their outside community.

They relied on many written magic circles to keep their territories secure. Still, it was not precisely what brought the angel here.

Something within her, as if feeling from the depths of her bloodline, called her out. Her wings fluttered on their own, taking her to the sky. Then she noticed Minato and flew toward him, knowing that he drew her out.

She didn't recognize him.

And Minato's gaze also told her he was the same.

"I also don't recognize you... I find something peculiar about you, however... It's mysterious as I am just a mere human," Minato smiled.

His lies didn't elude the angel, her eyes narrowing.

Her race was sensitive about people's emotions, and finding out lies was one of their common traits. Of course, such a trait was not easy to utilize, and one would confuse angels should they know about it beforehand.

An immense strength also was a requirement to pull a trick.

Minato didn't even aim for it.

He knew he was a peculiar existence and Overlord, but he still pegged himself as human. Deep inside, he knew that it was not really the case anymore.

The angel saw through him, but she didn't voice it.

Instead, she went with the standard procedure.

"Both of you are here to enter Mount Targam, aren't you? If you are, let me see through your journey to our place," The angel batted her eyelids, then a bright golden magic circle appeared before her chest.

That magic circle read Minato and Wercia's journey toward Mount Tagram.

The starting point was naturally when Wercia misunderstood Minato. That was when she called out about this sophisticated place and taught about Ahris Medium World.

The angel saw through their journey since neither opposed her magic circle.

Her power also lay bare the emotions that came along the journey for both... The lady wanted to make connections and become stronger in a place out of her reach... The man, however, seemed to have more grand goals.

He wanted to see through the whole world, and he deemed Mount Tagram as the starting point for his world's adventure.

That alone would raise many suspicious thoughts, but something else extended its hands for the angel's heart.

It was Minato's inborn possessiveness.

In the beginning, the thoughts about dual cultivation reached the angel. However, the more she pondered those dirty acts, the more liable she became. At last, Minato's unique trait scratched her heart and soul despite the strength gap between them.

On the outside, the angel blushed faintly and stared into nothingness. But her soul and mind felt like the answer to her former feeling lingered somewhere in exactly that man's possessiveness...

Minato and Wercia didn't utter a word, waiting for the angel.

Finally, the angel's eyes flashed with light, and she locked her irises on Minato, "You tread on both good and evil... I sense an imbalance, however. Mount Tagram will help you mend that flaw."

"Is it really a flaw, though? Isn't it better to be more good and a little evil?" Minato asked curiously.

He didn't mean he was such a case, but he believed he was close to it.

Wercia, on his left, nodded.

The angel smiled faintly, "A man with a heart filled with goodwill will do more harm than evil. An evil heart might do more good than harm for the same reason... People of Mount Tagram believe in balance, but that is not the proper answer, either...

I believe that sticking to our beliefs is how we should conduct ourselves. Exactly that kind of behavior should bring us closer to the balance." she concluded.

Minato sighed, "Even beliefs can take a shift should something more significant affect our lives. By the end of the day, people wear many masks. Whether we decide to put them on and for how long are yet other questions.

Regardless of those, I am gonna put on a mask of a curious kitty cat and ask the name of the beauty before me," Minato faintly smiled.

The beauty before him curved her lips as well, "Georgia. I welcome you two to our Mount Tagram."

"We couldn't have asked for more," Minato smiled wider.

On his left, Wercia flinched, "Really? I passed the test?"

Georgia nodded with closed eyes, her back already facing the duo, "You have common goals... Many of our medium world residents share the same, yet you were blessed to meet him. He's your Reverend."

He was his Reverend!

Those words drummed within Wercia's heart.

Her eyes promptly shifted to Minato, and she couldn't take those off him. He became the only man in her heart!

And that was despite Wercia already having a fiance!

Well, she ran away from him!

But fiance was a fiance, right?

'Fuck that asshole! Reverend is my Reverend! I will serve him with my heart and body!' Wercia kicked away all memories she had of her fiance.

Even though she didn't like him at all, he still shrouded her mind due to his family background, which was on par with her prestigious family.

But Reverend Minato was the man who changed the hearts of ladies!

This time, the angel lent him her hand, and so Minato freed yet another beautiful lady's heart of worry.
