Chapitre 60: Adrian's POV: Behind The Scenes

"This won't change the plot, will it?" I muttered to myself as I left my sister and the others alone. Of course, I activated a barrier around them, so the wild beasts wouldn't trouble them. "Well, I hope so..."

Anyway, the thing I wanted to do was to catch up to those creatures, or rather, the entities called "Spectral Shades", which were merely pawns in a larger game.

Tracking them was relatively easy; a few of them still carried traces of Aurelius's dark aether. They led me to a cave deep in the forest, a place where darkness seemed to seep from every crevice.

I knew I had arrived at my destination.

There was a mid Stellar Tier mage responsible for summoning them and making them attack the camp that was hiding there. From what I remember, it was written he was injured badly and was relying on these creatures to heal his wounds and recover.
