Chapter 550: Deacon's Downfall (3)

Laihud and Vimur led the way as they entered the rocky forest, flanked by a group of Xylopians. The crew had spent the better part of the week teaching them how to use the weapons they had brought, and they caught on quickly. 

Alina and Jay followed closely behind, keeping watch on their surroundings. The rest of the crew was stationed at the perimeter, ready to provide backup if needed.

The rocky forest was quiet, almost unnaturally so. The air was thick with tension as they made their way deeper into the forest, the Xylopians scanning the area for any signs of danger.

The Xylopians had agreed to help, but they were understandably wary of the undead soldiers that Reaper had brought with him. Laihud and Vimur had done their best to reassure them, but the Xylopians kept their distance, only following them because of their Leader's wish.
