Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 97 - 97: The mysterious woman

Anne, the woman who met Jaegar at the pond, had strategically positioned herself a couple of meters away from the serene lake, her expression shifting from idle contemplation to resolute determination.

A swift motion saw her retrieve a seemingly insignificant stone from the pouch hanging at her waist.

With practiced ease, she crushed the stone between her fingers, and the resulting burst of energy disintegrated it into a swirling mist that dissipated into the air with an otherworldly hiss.

Minutes later, the tranquil atmosphere near the lake underwent a subtle transformation as two figures materialized, emerging from the very fabric of reality itself. Piers and Shaun, both adorned in the distinctive attire of the same academy as Anne, materialized with a sense of purpose.

The urgency etched across their features was unmistakable, and their manner was tense as they addressed her without hesitation. "Did you find him, Anne?"

Anne's gaze met theirs, her voice carrying a tone of affirmation that belied the weight of her discovery.

"Yes, I just encountered him. As we suspected, he's formidable. He can conjure spells in the blink of an eye." Her words carried a mixture of awe and caution, acknowledging Jaegar's prowess while simultaneously emphasizing the magnitude of the challenge they faced.

Anne had unexpectedly encountered Jaegar and used that to fight alongside him to see what they were facing.

Without the need for further communication, Piers and Shaun moved with synchronized precision, aligning themselves with their mission's next phase. Their purpose, concealed beneath the veneer of a shared academy uniform, was far from virtuous.

They were not students in

Arcane energy crackled around him, a storm of power that surged through his body. With a fierce cry, he unleashed a torrent of lightning that arced towards his attackers.
