Tale of a Hedonistic wizard

Chapter 129: That woman and the trio



She had caught a glimpse of the shadow figure. They didn\'t know what just happened, but they saw the monster killed by lightning.

The one in armor had sensed his presence and jumped onto the roof.

But Jaegar wasn\'t there, they looked on all sides, but he wasn\'t there. They looked everywhere in the vicinity, but there was no trace of Jaegar.

The three of them returned to Francesca, and the boy, who seemed to be of Jaegar\'s age, told her, "Ms.Ravenswood, there was no one on the roof or in the area."

Then the knight, who was in blue light, slowly disappeared, and a woman dressed in leather pants and a top was revealed, her expression wrinkled as she said, "No, there was someone on that roof before, I sensed him, and I think he was the one who killed that monster."

"I saw the lightning strike the monster and kill it in a snap," she said, still with her gaze on the rooftop.

Francesca frowned, her sharp gaze shifting from one extraordinary individual to another. She was not one to easily dismiss her instincts, and the sudden appearance and disappearance of the mysterious figure intrigued her. "Are you absolutely sure you checked thoroughly?" she inquired, her voice tinged with suspicion.

The boy, still catching his breath from the rooftop search, nodded vigorously. "Yes, Ms. Ravenswood, we checked every corner. There was no one there. It\'s like he vanished into thin air."

The leather-clad woman, whose previous stern conduct had softened with curiosity, chimed in, "I agree with him. I felt his presence, and then it just... disappeared. It was as if he was there one moment and gone the next."

Francesca contemplated the information, her mind working quickly to piece together the puzzle.

The abrupt arrival of the monstrous creature, the unknown figure\'s intervention, and now his enigmatic disappearance all raised questions that demanded answers.

"Keep your senses sharp," Francesca instructed her team, her gaze scanning the surroundings. "We may not have found him, but I doubt he\'s gone far. Whoever he is, he\'s involved in this. Find him, but exercise caution. We need to know more about this mysterious person or whatever it was."

The trio nodded in agreement, their expressions resolute, and fanned out to search the vicinity once more. Francesca watched them for a moment before turning her attention to the downed creature. It was no ordinary monster, and its presence in the city troubled her deeply.

Francesca found herself facing a phenomenon unlike any documented in their extensive records.

In their archives, they meticulously cataloged a myriad of creatures, but this enigma defied all comprehension.

It stood out as a strange aberration, transcending every precedent they had ever encountered. Its colossal stature and repulsive visage sent an unsettling chill coursing down Francesca\'s spine.

The organization she presided over had a storied history and was dedicated to unraveling the secrets of the magical plane.

As the current head of the Bureau of Mystic Investigations, she has meticulously assembled a team comprising individuals with extraordinary capabilities.

In a bold manoeuvre, she interceded on behalf of these three extraordinary individuals, sparing them from the clutches of government oversight. She had lobbied the government, pleading for custody of the trio and promising to bear full responsibility for their actions and welfare.

There were other members who possessed such abilities, but they were under the government\'s watchful eye and subject to strict regulations.

They were treated like objects, satisfying their curiosity.

Francesca had actually found these three and was persistent in taking them under her wing, suggesting that they would help them in their investigations.

That\'s why those three were obeying her orders without question. As long as the three stood by her, no one in the government would dare oppose her or question her.

Francesca approached the fallen creature, her eyes narrowing as she examined it closely. Its grotesque appearance and the eerie energy it emanated hinted at a deeper mystery.

She pulled a small device from her pocket and began scanning the creature, capturing data on its physical characteristics and any residual magical traces left behind.

As she stood by the monster\'s corpse, a vehicle came into the alley. A man stepped out of the vehicle and said, "What\'s this monstrous thing?"

"Another one of those abominations," said the other man who got out of the same car.

"And your fancy team seemed to be doing well," he added sarcastically.

"But not that effective," the former man said, looking at the jeep and the soldier who died.

Francesca was not paying attention to them, and it made them annoyed.

As she worked, the young boy from her team approached her hesitantly. "Ms. Ravenswood, what do you think that thing was? And who was that who helped us? Do you think it\'s dangerous?"

Francesca didn\'t look up from her task as she responded, her tone calm but focused. "I\'m not entirely sure, but I believe that creature was somehow called upon or that someone brought it here. As for our mysterious person, I\'m reserving judgment until we learn more about him."

Francesca nodded in agreement, acknowledging the point. "Agreed. For now, we focus on the task at hand. We need to secure this area and ensure there are no further disturbances. Keep an eye out for anything unusual."

As the team continued their work, Francesca couldn\'t help but wonder about the mysterious figure who had intervened in their battle. Who was he, and what was his connection to the supernatural events unfolding in the city?

The knight in the blue glow armour, now fully transformed back into her human form, hadn\'t returned to them; she was standing in one of the alleys, looking in the direction where he passed through.

Jaegar swiftly departed from the mysterious warehouse, keeping his altitude low as he glided through the alleys.

Once he had safely exited the alleys of the warehouses, he ventured into the bustling city streets.

Unbeknownst to him, the girl with acute senses had also followed his trail with precision. Her keen instincts led her directly to Jaegar\'s back, and she trailed him discreetly.

In a hurry, he thought that he had lost them, but the girl, who had very keen senses, quickly caught up to him.

Jaegar sensed her presence before long and decided to lose her.

He expertly navigated through the crowded streets, making his way to the city square, where people thronged. There, he suddenly darted into a narrow alley, leaving the pursuing girl momentarily confused.

In the blink of an eye, Jaegar conjured a portal to his home and slipped inside, swiftly sealing it shut behind him.

The girl, reacting to the distinctive energy signature of the portal, hurried toward the narrow alley but found nothing – no sign of Jaegar.

Only the lingering residue of magical energy hung in the air as evidence of his recent presence.

Frustrated but determined, she retraced her steps back to the warehouses, where she saw the two men standing with Francesca.

A little away from them were two of her companions. She made her way toward them.

Seeing her, one of them asked, "Where you been, Miran?"

Her eyes held a mix of apprehension and intrigue as she recounted her brief encounter. "I saw him, Sandar," she admitted, "just a glimpse, but I could tell he\'s young."

Vondell, standing beside Sandar, sheathed his sword, pondering the implications. "Perhaps he\'s like us," he mused.

Sander added, "You should inform Ms. Ravenswood about this."

Miran, the girl, rolled her eyes with a sigh. "Yeah, I will, as soon as those creeps are gone."

Sander acknowledged the unfortunate reality. "She had to deal with their bullshit every time something like this happened."

Vondell concurred, saying, "There\'s nothing we can do about it."

"Why don\'t we just kill them?" Sander asked, seeing those two men.

No, and Ms. Ravenswood wouldn\'t like that," Vondell said.

"Yeah, probably. But with the monster and the person who killed it, I think we are getting somewhere after all this time." Sander added.

Miran sighed and responded, "Who knows if this is the last or will there be more?"

Francesca, who had finished with the two men, walked towards the trio.

"Did you find anything?"

Miran replied, "I think I saw his face."

"Good, we will get a sketch of him and try to search for him. And if we can find him."

"Now let us get back, I need to go to the lab." She said this as she walked towards the car.

The three of them walked towards a truck that was parked at the end of the alley and got in.

Then all of them left the place.

After everyone left the place, a team of men came and took the monster\'s corpse, clearing the place.
