Bab 129: Awakening [ IX ]

Dark Forest

It was a moonless night; a thick darkness enveloped the forest, accompanied by a harrowing silence that filled the atmosphere with mystery and terror. In this profound darkness, not even the sound of birds singing or insects buzzing could be heard—only the faint, constant rustling of leaves from nearby trees broke the silence.

In the heart of the dark forest stood a plain-looking cave, surrounded by thick bushes.

Suddenly, a sharp breeze stirred the air, and the dark figure of Alister appeared out of nowhere.

Alister observed the area keenly with his hazel eyes, his expression cold and focused. After ensuring the surroundings were clear, he began moving toward the concealed entrance of the cave before him.

As he drew closer, he chanted in a strange language, seemingly activating the magical locks of the door.

A sound of wind whistling spread as a strange dark portal appeared before him.
