"No! NO! No! I swear I didn't do anything!"
Sylvan silently stared at Evan, his face expressionless.
"You saw it with your own old eyes. I was just following you and didn't even use any skill or anything!"
Still, there was only silence.
Evan's expression darkened when he saw Sylvan saying nothing. Afraid that the old man might really throw him out before he could see the core of the World Tree, he took a deep breath and began walking ahead without waiting for Sylvan.
"What was that light?"
Seeing Evan heading toward the area of the Core, Sylvan didn't stop him and instead asked in a low voice.
"As I said, I don't know..." Evan replied without looking back. "But we might be able to find out once we step inside that open space."
Sylvan thought for a moment before following Evan.
Of course, as a Rank Six Core Evolver, he also understood that what had happened earlier had nothing to do with Evan.
