章 258: Lightning Wall

The morning sun had barely risen over Fogbeach when Lassim finished his final preparations to leave the seaside town. 

He packed up his few belongings, tipped the innkeeper for his stay, and made his way toward the city's edge, where he could take off.

Elder Daxian, the village leader, had reported ongoing attacks from abyssal beasts a week ago and was struggling to manage the village and defend it at the same time.
