The High Priest's gaze met Richard's through the cracks in the wall, and an indescribable spiritual pressure bore down on his heart along their line of sight.
In an instant, Richard's heart felt like it skipped a beat.
Ulysses suddenly shoved Richard aside, not giving him time to react before a streak of starlight punctured the wall and whisked past his scalp.
Had Ulysses been even a split second slower, that starlight would have pierced Richard's skull.
"Gah, that bug found you!"
The High Priest noticed his attack hadn't succeeded and was slightly surprised,
"He actually dodged it."
But then, a spiritual message transmitted from the black crystal on his forehead:
"Inhardt, go to the quiet room where I usually pray and seize a Wizard Monster."
...
"This bug's senses are really sharp."
Richard followed Ulysses as they flew swiftly through the corridor, rapidly advancing towards the Mother Goddess Temple.
