Chapter 115: Grim News

[A Few Moments Earlier]

Duruk was a denizen of the small settlement of Urich, and a lanky man.

He ran as fast as his legs could carry him the moment he spotted the quake that had made their whole village tremble, and the smoke that had ascended to the sky afterwards.

While the others had been deliberating on what it could be, this man had already been suspicious of the entire thing and labeled it a threat. He was often known to be superstitious and overreacting in the village, but this time his gut feeling didn't let him be.

"Duruk, go to the Lord and report this incident to him. There's a possibility that this is no small matter. Besides, whatever has descended upon us must be made known to him." The village representative told him.

Those were the words that spurred Duruk into action and gave him the strength to race straight for the noble's abode.

"Please be safe, everyone! I'll bring backup!" The man prayed.
