  • 73. Beneath the Village

    The crimson formation continued spreading beneath the village square. Ancient runes illuminated the ground in every direction, weaving together into a gigantic array that had remained hidden for who knew how many years. The peaceful appearance of the settlement vanished completely as corruption seeped from every crack in the earth.Magnus immediately stepped in front of the younger clan members while golden mana surged around his body.

The sight alone was enough to make several elite guards instinctively grip their weapons tighter."What exactly is down there?" one guard muttered, his voice noticeably

  • 72. The Vanished Village

    The atmosphere immediately became tense.Magnus stared at the exhausted scout."A village disappeared?"The words sounded absurd.Villages could be attacked.Destroyed.Burned.But disappearing entirely?That was something else.---The scout nodded nervously."We confirmed it this morning."Sweat dripped down his face."The entire settlement is gone."---Kael exchanged a glance with Leon.Both sensed the same thing.This wasn't normal.---"What exactly did you find?"
