high Branch after a brief silence guti
onon realizes that it could not possibly
be luiu as her Sanctuary lies far from
here and if she were to discover gonon
she would surely rush over with warmth
there is however another player on the
island a matter gonon has yet to address
piling nimbly bounds across the dense
branches pursuing the Intruder while
gonon hastily follows staff in hand
shushu stir awake merely lifting its
head to listen intently for a moment
before settling back down feeling
uncomfortable it prefers not to engage
knowing that a mere paw from highing
could easily dispatch a low holy minion
upon catching up Ganan sees highing
pinning a man down growling menacingly
do no no not I mean no harm the man
hurriedly explains though his
accompanying pet also growls
threateningly without making a move GI
tontion glances at him quickly grasping
that he has inadvertently stumbled upon
them lingling come back she calls since
the man means no harm guon tion has no
intention to kill otherwise she would
have acted already piling steps heavily
on the man's foot before returning to
guinan's side the man coughs violently
clutching his chest as he sits up upon
catching sight of gonon his pupils
dilate and he trembles bowing his head
as he stammers I doubt I did not mean to
disturb your rest I will leave right
away uton realizes he has recognized her
she slightly raises her chin and replies
cooly it's nothing you may leave the man
nods vigorously awkwardly trying to rise
to his feet while brace ing himself with
one hand on the ground his nervousness
causes him to fumble and with an
embarrassed chuckle he says I truly
apologize please you go ahead I'll take
a moment gianan furrows her brow
slightly but chooses not to press the
matter turning to walk away highing
watches the man coldly from behind
serving as a Vigilant Guardian after
taking a few steps guonan halts suddenly
spinning around to fixate on the man's
waist obscured by his arm he braces
himself self against the ground
concealing the right side of his waist
where a familiar Corner Peaks out while
gonion had not noticed it earlier the
sense of something a Miss washes over
her instinctively she reaches for the
pouch hanging at her own waist
inspecting it closely before hastening
towards the man the man has been
observing her and upon seeing her turn
back he breaks into a cold sweat as she
approaches he becomes increasingly
agitated hold him guon tion commands
sternly in reacts swiftly leaping
lightly to once again pin the man down
however this time the man's pet a jackal
snarls and lunges to bite heing heing
swiftly restrains the jackal's head with
a paw its strength so great that the
jackal's jaw strikes the ground a sharp
crack echoing in the air guon tion has
not issued a Kill Order so highing
refrains from lethal Force merely
subduing the opponent the man pales
further as he Witnesses highing
effortlessly subduing his late stage
Commander level pan steps closer kicking
away the man's arm to finally reveal
what hangs at his waist it is a pouch
gray and unremarkable devoid of any
distinctive patterns or colors gianan
wonders if it is merely an ordinary
pouch perhaps a misjudgment on her part
yet it refuses to open it is a bound
spatial pouch her expression shifts
dramatically. it is identical to the
pouch she wears at her waist the one
given to her and four others by AC
during their initial Venture into the
challenging level Forest realm dungeon a
troubling suspicion flickers through her
mind where did you get that goon demands
her gaze is frigid as ice eye founded in
a treasure chest the man stammers in
response you're lying it is utterly
impossible to discover such a spatial
artifact unique to a specific instance
