Chapter 23: A Fraudulent Convenience

"Who are you and why are you with a demon?"

Pointing his blade at Grantt, Alto stood a meter ahead of his subordinates. His face could be barely seen with the hood and mask he had, questioning the stranger he had just met.

The eerie mana that of them had emitted were demon-like, whereas the other two were normal to his senses.

It was the woman who had alarmed him so, remembering that there was a said kind of magic detected somewhere here.

However, it felt like those two were following the crimson-haired man from the forest, walking a meter behind him like how servants would do.

"It's just a good thing that I brought something for an occasion like this."

Whispering under his breath, Grantt spoke out as if his voice was muffled, making Mina then around as she sees him in a mask.

An eerie smiling mask that had a black tear shed on its right eye.
