Chapter 210: Lurking Shadow

Ryu silently descended onto the branch of a thick tree. His body was so weightless that the thin piece of wood hardly registered his appearance.

Down below, Ryu's sharp eyes caught sight of several groups of people. It didn't take much observing for Ryu to understand the situation.

The Ruins had been discovered several months ago by three adventuring teams, not all at the same time, but staggered. Unfortunately, the first team didn't have the ability to stop others from trying to take a piece of their discovery, so they could only give way, accepting a three-way alliance. At least like this, they could gain some security in stopping any more from trying to take part.

The three teams put their funds together to hire a Ruin Master from the Core Region to help them with this exploration. This was currently their seventh venture in Necromancer Hecate's Ruins.
