Seal of Light - Enlightened novel Chapter 11

Somewhere on the other side of the mountain

Navi’Sai stood in front of the black pillar.

With his seal and his left hand fully lit up, he slowly placed and slipped it into the pillar.

Navi’Sai felt the sudden reaction of the person inside who took a strong grip on his hand. He quickly pulled it out and as the body finally came out of the pillar, they both landed on the ground ending up with the person mounted on top of him with a ki-blade pointed at his throat.

“Who are you? What do you want from me?” There was fear and anger as the newly saved captive spoke.

Navi’Sai realized that it was a young woman who was on top of him. A young pretty woman dressed with an all black skin tight leather assassin suit with a red scarf.

“I am Navi’Sai, I came here to rescue you.”

The young woman fiercely looked at his eyes, with her ki-blade still pointed at his throat. She acknowledged the sincere reply and retracted her weapon. The tension came down, both of them noticed the very awkward position they are into. The female bended back on a fancy manner and stood up and helped Navi’Sai while he was dusting his clothes.

“I thought you were the one of those with the demon earlier, by the way, I am Willow.”

Navi’Sai took the handshake offer and replied. “Wait… I think…hmm… Willow Autumn?”

“Yes, that is right. How did you know that?”

“Willow Autumn. Great! Your mother, Lily, is an acquaintance of mine. We were sent here to rescue you and the other captives taken by the rat-demon Nezumi.”

Willow felt a bit of relief to what she just heard from Navi.

“Wait, did you say other captives? And there are others out there also doing this rescue operation?”

“Yes, that’s right, we have to go now. My friends are on the other side of this mountain. I hope they are not having much trouble.”

“No, wait,” Willow interrupted just before Navi’Sai made his next move.

“Why would I trust you? This could be a trick. You will bring me as offering to your Demon lord.”
