Chapter 34: Unraveling shadows

After Kael received his payment, we immediately hit the road without taking any breaks, following a period of continuous travel.

Nevertheless, the tranquility was disrupted by an unexpected disturbance - a message that reached Ustra, delivered by a man wearing a big black cloak. I didn't understand the content of the letter, but it caused Ustra to become furious.

Ustra's angry expression was evident through her cloak as her uncontrollable lightning powers coursed through her, causing her eyes to blaze with intensity. My heart was racing as I shouted and sprinted toward her, Kael tried to hold me back but it was already too late.

The lightning hit me, resulting in unbearable agony that spread throughout my whole body. I fell to the ground, gasping for air as agony coursed through my entire being.
