Wizard Reed was starting to feel a touch of anger, even though he knew he had a mission at hand and couldn't afford to lose his temper recklessly. The return of this small squad and their antics made him feel thoroughly mocked.
He had initially been puzzled, wondering where he had been careless enough to allow so many people to disappear right under his nose. What incensed him even more was that these people had the audacity to return...
By returning, were they belittling him? Did they mean to imply that they were free to come and go as they pleased, unnoticed by him? They must find this quite exhilarating, don't they!
Was this squad here to provoke him? Wizard Reed vaguely remembered the scene where that one-eyed fellow in their group had provocatively summoned creatures here before. These people could nullify lightning; their abilities were evidently not ordinary. The fact that they could vanish undetected right under his watch also left Wizard Reed feeling somewhat helpless.
