"Oh? Tell me… Can we still chase after her?" Vincent immediately asked Calidia as soon as he heard the good news.
He felt uneasy leaving this werewolf on the run after all. He doesn't know when she'll come back as she would always be a threat to him unless she was eliminated.
Perhaps not this week, or maybe not this month or year… However, that woman can certainly come back together with other werewolves that had survived.
"Ah, it was Sir Brycen who found their traces with his tamed beast…" Calidia replied.
"Sir Brycen? I guess I should thank him later…"
"Yes… Since most of the werewolves are injured, they left some traces and even blood on the ground can be found. At the moment, they seem to be resting in a hidden cave… According to Sir Brycen, the werewolves were diving in and out of a lake so he guessed that there must be a hidden tunnel leading to a safe place."
"Or maybe a dungeon…" Vincent added.
"That's true…"
"So where is this lake?"
Calidia pointed at a map and realized that it was already in the Martial Arts Alliance's territory.
'It's a bit too far… How did they get there so quickly…' Vincent mused as he was impressed with the skills of these werewolves.
Did they travel for over a hundred miles by foot?
Well, werewolves are truly on a different level.

Calidia took a deep breath as she realized how unforgiving Vincent was.
"I can make a plan, however, it would involve the Celestials… After all, if the werewolves managed to approach our magicians, they will certainly die even with their pistols with Silver Bullets. We need the Celestials to prevent such accidents." She answered after recalling that although the Silver Bullets weaken the werewolves and stop their cheat-like regeneration abilities from working, they wouldn't suffer an instant death…
These werewolves only needed a few seconds to kill and slice humans with their sharp claws.
"Alright, take as many Celestial as you can..."
"Great… However, we still have no way of confining Beatrice in case she uses that same technique." Calidia added.
"That's true… The Celestials mentioned that it seems to be Spatial Magic. Do we have a Formation Art that can do something about that?" Vincent asked.
"Spatial Magic? Similar to the principle behind the Dungeon Entrance?"
"That's correct…" Vincent replied.
"Then we should probably wait for Sir Ignacy to wake up…"
Vincent jolted as he was reminded that Faviona was actually making a potion that will cure his master. The concoction was supposed to take a week or maybe even more depending on Faviona's skills.
Anyway, he didn't receive any news about it yet as it hasn't been a week since they started making the potion.
"Sigh… I guess it's only Master Ignacy who can be trusted to deal with Spatial Magic, huh…"
Vincent muttered after thinking for a while.
If they attacked the werewolves now, Beatrice may just escape again, and finding her again might be more difficult than today.
They can't just waste this opportunity… They have to end this once and for all.
Although the werewolves would be completely healed if they waited until Ignacy woke up, it's better than being unable to find them at all.
"Alright… Let's wait for Master Ignacy to help us regarding that Spatial Magic… I trust Faviona's skill. She should be able to make that potion without a problem." Vincent added with confidence.
Calidia nodded in acknowledgment as she made preparations for this subjugation mission while they wait for Ignacy's recovery.

In the meantime, Vincent checked the Alchemy Laboratory and confirmed that Faviona is no longer that busy…
He noticed from the window that she was only monitoring the fire under the potion cauldron… The Soul Wisdom Potion might be completed in another day or two at this rate. As for the two assistants that she has, they seem to have left or probably sleeping right now.
Anyway, Vincent left the laboratory as he didn't want to disturb the alchemists.
He can only pray and wait for the potion to be completed.
He went to the lake to relax and found Krusk who immediately came running at him as soon as he was noticed.
"Vincent! Why are you here?" Krusk asked after seeing Vincent alone.
Krusk remembers that whenever he comes here, he was always together with another girl. It was quite surprising to see Vincent alone.
"What? I just came to check on you…"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That's good! Then tell those people not to shoot their guns on the lake!" Krusk suddenly complained and shocked Vincent.
He didn't expect this sudden complaint…
"Hmm? People are shooting on the lake? That's dangerous…" Vincent said as he looked at the lakeside.
At the moment, there wasn't anyone shooting at it and all of them just seemed to be relaxing and having some barbeque. Most of them are those in their fifties or families that have some free time together.
"That's right! Did you not give them a space to practice those guns?"
"There's a training ground and even arena within the Kayser Tower that they can use… Anyway, you can just warn those people who will try to disturb your lake… I'll also let the others know not to rain your lake with bullets. Right, did you get hurt?" Vincent asked.
"I'm fine! Those bullets wouldn't scratch my scales… If I'm in my dragon form at the very least."
"I see…"
"So, what made you visit this place?" Krusk asked as he looked at Vincent with questioning eyes.
"I'm just here to relax for a bit… I've been busy for a while now… I need some time off as well. There are no holidays or days off here you know?" Vincent said which confused Krusk for a bit.
Nevertheless, the young Mythical Beast still understood what he meant to say.
"Alright! Relax and enjoy your free time! I'm sure you've been very busy…"
Vincent thanked him for that as he looked at the sky… It was a bit cloudy so the sunlight was warm and with the cold wind breeze, it was refreshing…
However, as he was enjoying the scenery, he noticed that as soon as the clouds moved, a huge Flying Airship came into his view!
"What in world is it this time?!"
