Chapitre 144: Marcus's Frustration

"SHHHHIT!!!" Marcus shouts, attempting to punch Eliza's smiling face, but his fist is blocked once again by the magical barrier.

Blood drips from his knuckles onto the barrier, while green acid from the lizard's attack sizzles on the other side. Inside, Tobias helps Preston with the wound on his leg while Eliza taunts Marcus with a smile. "It's no use, fool. This barrier was made by someone whose power far surpasses anything we can comprehend."

Marcus signals his lizard to stop attacking and takes a step back. "It doesn't matter. I just need to wait until its mana runs out while my men convince Arthur to join us. Then we can resume from where we left off."

Eliza frowns slightly, her eyes wandering toward the distant shadows of the forest. Instead of letting her concern cloud her mind, she refocuses on Marcus.
