Chapitre 169: Chaos Begins

The king pivoted to face the leader of his personal guard. His voice carried the weight of his authority as he said, "A phenomenon unseen in Eckstedt for centuries has now manifested in Dragon Clouds City..."

A saber now secured at his hip, King Nuven bore a grave expression.

"A disaster?"

Nicholas, gripping a knife, had a look of lethal intent. "To be precise, Your Majesty... it isn't confined to Dragon Clouds City...
