There was no time to think.
"Point at me in the direction of where we should go."
I stopped holding my mana back.
The ice statues themselves didn't seem particularly threatening, but that wasn't what worried me. My real concern was that I didn't want to harm them. If they truly were still living people trapped in ice, then the best thing I could do was avoid them.
'Even though I already saw that nothing happened before, it's best if I'm cautious.'
I also didn't know if there was more to the statues.
Grabbing Ilyen by the waist, I had him point towards a certain direction before running with all my might.
"Hey, wait!"
Evelyn shouted, but was helpless as I grabbed her by the waist and hoisted her up on my shoulder.
"Kyaaak!"
She screamed, but I ignored her plight.
There was no time to waste.
"Let me go! I-I can... run myself!"
"Sure, you can."
"Julien!!!"
"I said, I believe you."
"Then let me go!"
I ignored her and looked at the boy.
