Chapitre 122: The other side of the forest

The group didn't need any indication to realize that they had arrived at their destination. The man turned around and gave them a stern look. "The Vylkr vines in this area have already been cleared. However, the weaker ones were left behind for a reason - to train all of you," he explained.

The man suddenly frowned and his face twisted into a terrible scowl. His eyes became serious as he pierced them at each one of them. "They're here," he declared.
