章 229: The Truth Behind The Deal

Leaving the cave in a state of disarray, Raven finally walked out of its entrance after an entire day had passed. He knew he could've easily used the teleportation ring to go outside, but hunting the remaining Arachnes left in every corner of the cave had deterred him from using the easy way out. 

His party members who were anxiously waiting for him outside quickly rushed over to greet him, and before he could even mutter a word, Mel wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. So did Aria, while Erika watched over heaving a relieved sigh. 

"Took you long enough!" Complained the fair elf her hands beating on Raven's chest.

Seeing her acting so childish a smile crept up Raven's lips before he took a step away from the duo of elves. 

"So what happened inside?" Asked Amedith, standing at the back of the group alongside Liliyana.

"I smell something strange on him…" Liliyana added, catching the hint of both Umbra as well as the dark fae form.
