Setting aside the fact that Elida had liaisons with all the miners, getting involved with her carried risks far too great.
Ethan had no choice but to feign innocence and escape.
As for what Elida might do if she stayed in the cabin, Ethan had no control over that. He could only sacrifice a bit for Luther's rescue.
Ethan hid under the cabin, muttering incantations, as wraiths began to ripple around him.
He had intended to summon the wraiths inside the cabin, but the sight of those Magic Circles alarmed him.
These circles seemed to function as monitoring and restraining devices.
As long as he was inside the cabin, Ethan couldn't fully unleash his formidable powers.
Taking a risk, he stepped outside to summon the wraiths.
At this moment, everything in the camp was under the surveillance of Herman and his two companions.
But with Ethan now paired with Elida, Herman's watchful eye might relax a bit.
