章 88: Boon or bane- Part 1

Rain continued to fall down from the sky, washing away the top of the soil and picking up the mud as it ran down the slope next to where the Rune mansion was located. Clouds continued to growl while the girl stood in one of the corridors with absolute horror-struck on her face.
