Forced Transmigration
22 - Black Figure

...⪻⪼...

Ivew and Lolita let out a sigh of relief when they finally reached the top of the black tree with Veister's cat rolling his body over Ivew's shoulder. The beads of eyes of the two girls stared at the mess Laveron and the others were doing. The sound of explosions echoed along with a deep purple liquid that filled the ground beneath them.

Leaning against the tree trunk beside her, Lolita's pomegranate bead looked away at the white wall of the imperial protector.  Faintly the land in the distance was visible to his eyes, the barren land and the former buildings that had been destroyed along with some swords that still seemed to be stuck on the ground.

“This tree is tall too yes, Young Miss. I can see another land behind the protective wall.”

Ivew's voice caught Lolita's attention and made the pomegranate-eyed girl glance at her sitting on one of the branches while gazing towards the fight below them. The two girls gasped when they saw the black monster below them splitting into a medium-sized monster that attacked them earlier.

“Can you use your power from here, Ivew?” Lolita looked at Ivew who continued to focus downward.

The emerald-eyed girl nodded and started to let out the wind in her hands. The vortex of light blue wind swirled in Ivew's hands and the girl shot it straight at the monster that was about to attack Leister. The monster's agonizing voice was heard by the two along with the body of the last black monster that vanished into dust. Ivew sighed and stroked Veister's black fur sitting on the branch beside him.

The cat meowed and fixed his gaze down ensuring the state of Laveron and the others. Lolita leaned back against the tree beside her while breathing a sigh of relief. The girl's pomegranate bead accidentally stared towards the top of the protective wall. The girl got up to her feet ignoring the puzzled look of Ivew. Trying to focus her gaze Lolita fell silent as the black figure on top of the protective wall was like looking at her.

“I-ivew ... above that protective wall. Did you see what I saw?”

Show Lolita trembling while Ivew who was originally sitting stood up and turned his eyes towards Lolita. The girl fell silent as she looked at the black figure standing still not disturbed by the fight below them.

“What is a military soldier, Young Miss?” Ivew asked with a fixed gaze of focus towards the figure above the wall.

Lolita shook her head and returned to reply in a slightly hoarse voice, “No military soldier has been assigned other than the one with us. And how could that person have climbed up the wall without the help of a witch. There must be permission from the empire if you want to climb the protective wall.”

Ivew fell silent at Lolita's explanation. His emerald bead glanced at the silent Veister and turned to look at his face with the cat's two-colored eye bead that looked radiant.

“It must be a black witch! We better avoid it!”

Veister's angry cry rang out in Ivew's head. The girl was about to pull Lolita's hand down but was stopped when the girl's body suddenly drifted backwards and fell freely towards the ground. Ivew frantically tried to grab the hand of Lolita who was staring at him with a look of agony.

The emerald-eyed girl immediately moved the wind in her hand and pointed it at Lolita's body, holding the girl's body from ending up horribly smashing into the ground.

“Hihihi .. won't be that easy ...”

The heavy sound was heard around Ivew who was panicking as the wind was unable to hold Lolita's body which continued to plunge freely. The pomegranate-eyed girl panicked as she felt pain on her shoulder and stared at the red liquid flowing towards her fingertips.

Lolita's fingers grabbed one of the branches nearby and used both hands to hold her body. The pain began to spread and made his palms numb. Ivew's panicked voice down the tree was increasingly heard by Lolita, the pomegranate-eyed girl's gaze was a little blurred with a sense of dizziness that attacked her head.

“Young Miss, hang in there! I can't use my wind power so .. Wait!”

Lolita took a breath as she heard the echo of Ivew's voice that was still ten meters away from her. The emerald-eyed girl hurriedly descended hugging the black tree. Ignoring the hot feeling that emerged from his palm as it continued to rub against the surface of the black tree.

The Veister cat that was on his shoulder attempted to use magic to hold Lolita's hanging body but a second later the black cat growled as it felt its magic power dissipate.

“That black figure ... where is he?”

Lolita asked with a fixed hand grasping a tree branch above her. His hanging body swayed slowly as the wind blew past the trees.

The girl's pomegranate bead looked back at the black figure that was above the protective wall and disappeared into dust a second later. Gazing towards the field below Lolita slightly breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Leister and Laveron were fine and was making sure that the two monsters that attacked them were dead.

The wind attack Ivew gave managed to kill the monster just as his mouth was about to suck Leister and the flowerlax kstaria. One hand of Lolita slipped from the branch above her as the wind shook her continuously hanging body.

The girl's hands began to feel numb and sweaty. The rustling sound from above made Lolita look up again and look at Ivew who looked panicked. The emerald-eyed girl called out frantically to Lolita while the black cat on her shoulder seemed unshaken with Ivew's hasty movements.

That cat. In fact, don't panic in situations like this. Is he really an ordinary cat? Inner Lolita looked at Veister who remained calm.

The sound of Ivew's footrest on the branch above made Lolita wake up from her daydream. Ivew immediately approached Lolita by watching her steps so that the branches of the tree below did not sway too much.

Lolita sighed as Ivew got closer to her, a sense of uneasiness filled her as the branch swayed even more and Ivew seemed hesitant to move forward. Ivew glanced at the nodding Lolita and stepped back on all fours while the Veister cat stood by the tree.

The branch was getting curved while holding the weight of two people's bodies, Lolita again felt the wind shake the branch and her body. When the grip of his hand was almost released and his body fell free, Ivew managed to grab his arm. Panic was evident from Ivew's emerald eyes staring at Lolita who also heaved a sigh of relief. The sound of relief of the two came to a halt as the sound of cracks rang out from the branches near them.

“Ivew .. thank ka-“

“Eh ..”.
