Chapter 58: Scene of the Crime

Dark clouds filled the sky, casting their shadow over the forest of decay, its dead soil looking darker than ever as the investigation team reached the entrance to the forest.

The team was led by the four reapers, with Lucas Crowley at the forefront. Known as the Ember Knight, his fiery red hair billowed in the harsh autumn wind, a stark contrast against the barren, dead soil that crumbled beneath the weight of his heavy black plate armor. 

On his back rested a large sword, its blade concealed within a leather sheath. However, one thing stood out as particularly peculiar about this sword—its size. It was not something that a non-gifted individual could ever hope to wield 

Yet, even more intriguing was the sensation of heat emanating from the blade, a warmth that seemed to defy containment by the sheath. The sheath itself bore markings that hinted at a special enchantment, designed to prevent the escape of the blade's intense heat.
