Chapitre 1039: Grimstone Keep

After his no-nonsense speech, the Soulmancer resumed his aloof stance, and the officer leading the procession commanded the regiment to resume the march toward Grimstone Keep. They covered the final kilometers without incident, soon approaching an archaic-looking medieval fortress that loomed about a hundred meters high.

"Halt!"

Jake also arched a surprised brow. His Cosmic Eye allowed him to clearly see the thick murderous aura shrouding the guard's burly, menacing figure.
