章 65: Chapter 18: Curses and Sacrifices [5]

The moment Blade was thrown back by the sudden attack, everyone became tense and a little more desperate. They knew that he was still alive, especially since the root that had flung him aside was later reduced to ashes.

It's doing a number on the city, Mathias thought as he glanced back at the capital of Angelbay. Looks like it's determined to wreak havoc everywhere.

But why, though? We evacuated everyone. It should be focusing on us only. We're the only souls left nearby for it to ravage.

Mathias shook his head. He was too tired to think clearly. Honestly, he had no idea how long they had been fighting. Maybe hours had passed, or maybe only a few. Maybe it hadn't even reached sixty minutes yet.
