Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Surrender

They felt a certain wind whipping through their faces earlier, causing them to close their eyes… to think that once they open it again, they would see the corpses of their comrades scattered on the ground, mowed down and in pieces.

"What… what just happened?"

"That old woman… is Charlotte Gates!"

"Charlotte Gates!? Why did she attack us then!?"

"What is happening!? Why did the strongest Explorer in the country attack us!?"

They tried to get away, but it was as if their feet had minds of their own and were refusing to go.
