Chapter 385: Josephine from the Black Forest

"A what?" How is that even human?" Lachlan frowned.

"That thing is a human," the woman said. "Or it used to be."

"What are you-"

"We must depart from this place swiftly. There are more of them approaching." She glanced around as if sensing something ominous lurking in the shadows

"You mean there are additional beings like that one?"

The woman nodded, her countenance filled with sorrow.

"But-"

However, the woman already started walking. Seeing her hurried steps, Lachlan quickly followed behind.

"What do you mean? Will you make things clear? What was that thing? I have never heard of a creature that would turn into ash when destroyed!" Even the beasts that he or the Duke of Wugari fought did not turn into ash.

"We must hurry."

This time, Lachlan held the woman's arm, stopping her in her tracks.

"I will not follow someone blindly without knowing what is happening. What are those creatures?"

"We do not have the time."
