章 508: Unexpected meeting

Finally finding an isolated nook away from the prying eyes of the city, Erik cautiously peered around, ensuring he was truly alone.

Assured of his solitude, he slowly withdrew his Chameleon Veil brain crystal power and took off the mask as the thin layer of mana dissolved into nothingness.

He scratched his face, his skin warm to the touch after being under the mask for so long.

His sigh of relief could be heard faintly in the nook's otherwise peaceful atmosphere.

After enduring the day's challenges, he permitted himself to smile contentedly. He rested against the wall and savored the tranquility, which contrasted with the city's lively atmosphere and the busy guild hall.

"Well, that's finally over," he muttered to himself, relief evident in his voice. His words echoed around the silent room, starkly contrasting with the roaring crowd he had just escaped from.
