Misa Togo, An attendant of the village church. Quickly went out to the Main town to find a specialist that helping them to seal up Levi Furiman's open wounds.
Along with 5 neighbor people, they rush in by using the Carriage that Pastor Ozril always used.
A race between life and death situations, they had no other choice but to use their magic spells to speed up their pace and to reach their destinations as fast as possible.
The carriage started to fly from the ground.
People being stumbled inside of it, grabbing anything hard trying not to fall away.
Some of them started to vomit due to their uneasy feeling from both reckless travel and bloodstains from the carriage cloth.
As the pace goes by, one of them finally has the guts to ask Misa about her restless feeling.
"Why are we rushes in Misa-san?"
"What...You don't know what happened to that kid Pastor Ozril bring the other night?"
"Oh... that weak, fragile kid that easily gets hurt whenever he moves? hahahahaha! how pathetic he was!"
"Just shut up, and hold tight!... I'll speeding up his carriage again!."
A wild command is made by Misa to the people she brings, trying to insult Levi even his life is in danger.
...
The ones left at the clinic were Pastor Ozril and Cassandra Smith.
Without any single words on their mouths for the past few minutes.
Pastor Ozril started to ask Cassandra once again.
Knowing that she had done enough today for her to freak out at what she saw. She even tried to be attentive in front of the Pastor and trying to answer anything he asked.
! Pant!
~~Cassandra breaths slowly trying to calmed herself down.
Pastor Ozril noticed it, having thoughts of her from getting oppressed for a while.
'So Cassandra is now fine and alright, to be able to calm herself by breathing slowly. Now, this is my chance to asked her what exactly happened to them while I was away.'
Thinking that He had an opening to question her, he immediately asked about it as if he had an opportunity to attack.
He asked it with caution and silence, far opposite than the one he did to her earlier.
"Cassandra, mind if I asked what happened with you and Levi-kid when I was away."
Cassandra, now regaining her consciousness this time, answering it with a mild pale face, having fear yet sorrowful emotions she made.
"I'm not sure what exactly happened. He seemed to enjoy and be amazed by the time I release my 'Awakening aura' at first. But when the time I activate my Double Awakening powers and the 'Eye of the Providence Race' started changing the appearance of my left eye, his expressions suddenly changing and began hiding in a tree-like he freaks out after seeing me in that state. I don't know the reason why he does that, but I will sure that it would be a trigger line for him to be made scared like crazy as if I was the bad one trying to kill his very existence. That's all I know about him."
Pastor Ozril couldn't believe what he heard from Cassandra's words.
He left nothing but to made himself puzzling his mind about it.
Until he comes up that he didn't satisfy what Cassandra said to him.
"Is that it? I mean does he changes his actions after you saw him getting eaten by insanity? ... Like Awakening eyes or his magic auras emitted randomly?"
Pastor Ozril believes himself something that Cassandra forgot to mention.
Cassandra on the other hand already realizes something never seen in her entire life. Making her terrified and nervous about it.
She said it carefully and slowly mesmerizing her mind trying to remember everything that she saw on him.
"Yes... There was one thing I had seen on him. And also, Levi-kun has the power of the Awakening eye... I don't know what exactly that kind of stage is, but I know it was a Jewish-Enochian eyes' power.."
"How did you know that? ... Did it something that made you harm or in danger? Does he attacked you while he's in that state?" Pastor Ozril asked.
"No... that's quite opposite. He asking me for help like a peasant begging for food on the street... Also, his Awakening Aura... was calm yet intense..."
"What do you mean intense?" Pastor Ozril continued to ask.
"When we crossed our eyes glaring at each other, I felt like my own Awakening powers are slowly disappearing like I was being eaten alive by some unknown creature that neither this world had ever discovered."
"Is that so?" He concluded his questions to her.
With a huge discomfort and terrifying feelings, she felt during that time until now.
She couldn't hold herself from fear and uneasiness to the fact that she saw an unknown kind of power being possessed by the unknown person she once met for a while.
Pastor Ozril was already stunned yet didn't surprised, wondering about a certain kind of powers that only a few people in this world had to know existed.
'Could that be... the one and the only one that can save or destroy the world by that kind of Awakening eyes, depending on the wielder and the Races it belongs... I guess that would make sense...'
He then asked Cassandra to keeping eye on Levi, taking his leave, and didn't ask about it anymore.

[Prairie Town]
Misa, along with her neighbors finally arrived at the entrance point of Prairie Town.
They reached the town with only an hour and a half of travel, by using Pastor Ozril's wooden carriage.
Knowing the fact that it would take at least 4 hours of travel from their place, they managed to reach it unscratched.
But not in the case of the carriage.
As they saw the carriage already as its limit, already worn out the wooden wheel and the barrels inside are easily destroyed.
Everyone seems flustered and guilt as they forced the thing they don't own to its limits.
"What are we gonna do? the carriage is now barely enough to carry our asses back to the church if we handle it carefully."
"But if we didn't hasten up, Levi san would be more in danger. Far worse than we imagine!"
"But how are we supposed to do that if our carriage is already worn out?... we must do something to it..."
Suddenly, one of the neighbors has an idea that made everyone agreed to it.
"I got spare money, enough for repairing the damages on the carriage. Go find some specialist, I will do the thing here."
"Thank you, you are a lifesaver!" Misa being gratified by him.
"We owe you one, we'll pay it for you when we went back to our houses!"
"Okay, take care then."
And so, one of the Neighbors having his move by fixing the carriage, whilst Misa and others are taking their time finding the person who specializes in healing people.
.
As the 5 of them started to move, Misa, an ordinary awakening wielder with the possessor of the Demi-being race, noticed the voices of the people around 50 meters away from her, graciously murmuring themselves like it was the source to make the whole town lively.
Knowing that It was a natural prohibition for a single individual to eavesdropping without having consent, She couldn't help herself but use it due to the fact that it is her natural habit since childhood.
"You know that's bad and taboo for everyone to use powers for useless things, right? "
"Cut it out, Misa... or else you might get caught by the Town Adventurers here."
"Okay...Okay... My bad, let's focus on searching that clinic.."
Misa turning off her Awakening spell before she got noticed by the Town Adventurer, carefully watching them on the street.
After a few minutes of walking in the streets, they finally reached the clinic where they heading to.
They checked up their wallets to filled up the fees whenever the specialist asking to hire them.
Misa has 70 Gold coins, 20 Silver, and 80 bronze coins, placing on a leather pouch inside her bag.
The other 4 only have 29 Gold coins, 60 Silver, and 10 bronze combined.
Hoping it would be enough to bring the Specialist with them without getting into trouble.
As they get close to the town clinic, everyone including Misa suddenly having chills in their body as the feeling of getting nervous is started to strike directly into their gut. Making them felt restless for a moment.
Even opening the door they started out pointing whose the one to do it.
Eventually, Misa was the one opening it easily and like nothing happened.
"Let's get in, you idiots! ... You feel yourselves like an ignorant if you guys standing outside like crazy..."
But deep down inside, Misa was already tense, wanted to burst out her fear.
"Good Afternoon, Welcome to Prairie town Adventurers Clinic."
A Receptionist graciously greeted the Adventurers and other people whenever the doors started to open.
As soon as Misa started to open it, she didn't have time to waste anymore, and started putting herself attended to the receptionist.
The 4 other people she brings had to take themselves on their own asking for medicines that needed to speed up Levi Furiman's recovery.
"Good Afternoon, we're from Willow Village, we have a friend in my place having a terrible condition and he's needed medical attention as soon as possible... We need a specialist that can seal up his wounds permanently... do you guys have doctors or specialists vacant today?..." A worried, tense Misa hoping her request to be fulfilled.
Unfortunately, the receptionist answered her request far opposite to her expectations.
"I'm very sorry, there's no Doctors or specialists today. They went to 'District Kingdom', having their assembly for the upcoming events of the Country... They went back after a week..."
Lost of hope and despair. The emotions felt by Misa as they couldn't found a single one that she believed they might help from Levi's agony.
She tried to gather everyone up, wanting to head back to their homes after buying medicines.
However, as they started packing up their stuff and leave. The receptionist tried to halt them and having her time telling some words that gave everyone hopes for the second time.
"I'm sorry I forgot to tell you this, but the Doctors and Specialists gave us some kind of potions. They said we will sell this whenever the people and Adventurers needed some Doctors and Specialists' attention, like in the cases of you guys... They said it will help the person to heal up even the dangerous conditions whoever drinks it... I do hope this would help that person to recovered.."
The receptionist showed the potion that the Doctors and Specialists referred to.
It was a small glass of black potion (Similar to the sizes of a regular mug of coffee), closed up with a special kind of cork able to seal the liquid inside of it.
Everyone, whom having despair and discouragement, suddenly felt ecstatic and high hopes as the news they received just recently made them regain their hopes once again.
They asked for the prize of the potion afterward.
"That will be 50 gold...."
Misa was the one buying it, as well as keeping it.
"Thank you very much! I do hope you would come back! " The receptionist having her farewell to them.
And so, everyone leaving the Town clinic with a smile on their faces after all.
The one taking care of the carriage is also done repairing, already waiting on the outside a moment after they leave the clinic.
"How long did you wait?" Misa asked.
"I just came in, waiting for a minute!" He replied.
"Let's go, we're done everything here."
"But the specialist? do we need that, right?"
"Don't mind it, we still have alternatives... you go drive and move it faster!"
He still had doubts of Misa's command to fasten their speed, even though the damages taken on the carriage were already repaired.
But then, it was understandable for him to moved it faster since they have to win the race between life and death in Levi's life.
*****
[Unknown Place]
While Levi Furiman physically lying in bed inside the church clinic, his consciousness and mental state remain constant as he is aware of the surroundings he went in.
"Where am I?"
"What is this place."
"A dungeon?"
A dark, familiar view similar to the place where he once called 'Nightmare'.
Suddenly, an eerie, vicious being sitting in front of the place, gracefully greeted Levi Furiman with a grim smile on his face.
"Yo... Levi Furiman... It's been a while! how's life?"
Levi on the other hand, having chills on his body and started getting nervous as he didn't know the appearance of that uncertain being.
"Who are you .... How did you know me?"
"And why am I being here?"
