Apotheosis

But wait. Zen wasn't hurt at all! Why?

For the very simple reason that he had squatted down as soon as he sensed that the enchantment was coming his way.

"What an idiot!" Zen gazed at her with a mocking stare.

However, Yolande's face remained emotionless even when she saw Zen avoid her attack so easily. No matter what happened, she had always been serious and indifferent; her face's poker expressions were undeterred by emotions.

She merely cast another enchantment in the direction of the box, which was as easily avoided as the one before it.

Zen had curved up as most as possible and the enchantment had swept over his head with a gust of wind.

However, he was now in quite an uncomfortable position. His head was bowed and his hands were embracing his knees. He had bent himself into a ball and couldn't even raise his head as the area above it had been blocked by Yolande with the enchanted barrier.

Zen saw Yolande's little snow-white feet, but was in no mood to admire them. Right now, he was more busy with his resentment about being stuck like this.

'What a shame! How can I be forced into such a desperate situation and die like this!' he thought to himself.

Just then, Yolande bent down and squatted in front of him. She reached out and was about to cast an enchantment once again.

If she succeeded, both Zen's limbs and body would be rent apart into two separate pieces.

He was stuck and couldn't move at all. All he could do at the moment was swallow hard with despair on his face.

At that very moment, a small silver sword flew right towards Yolande.

Without so much as a glance

litary Office has no time to judge such trifles. I'll lock him up and hand him over to the Military Office after the demons are defeated," she continued.

"You're not going to lock him up here forever, are you?" Lennie asked with a bitter smile.

"Why can't I?" Yolande asked, blinking her grey eyes.

Lennie felt a headache coming.

Zen felt the same way.

'Is she serious? I would die soon if I have to remain curling up in such a small space all the time!' he thought.

In the small box, Zen couldn't even raise his head or look straight. He was feeling stiff all over after only a short while in the box. 'I'd rather die if I have to stay in this posture for more than ten days, ' he thought.

He knew that in her nature, Yolande would absolutely do so.

Yolande suddenly stood up before Lennie could find a way to convince her to change her mind. "I've made my decision. I'll keep him in the box until the demons are defeated."

With that, she turned around and walked away. Zen moved slowly with her steps in the square box, like a pet following its owner.
