章 45: Beginning of the battle

As soon as Rain took a step, the entire space around them along with the forest distorted, creating an indistinguishable image.

It was similar to the moment when they went through the portal into the rift, but this time it lasted longer, making Aelorian feel a slight prick of unease.

With each passing second, the space around them grew more turbulent, and the vortices surrounding them grew more stormy, as if threatening to engulf them at the first opportunity.

Aelorian glanced at Rain's still calm and confident face, without any trace of worry. She had noticed how calm he had been when the monster had suddenly attacked them, allowing him to react first, and now that they were in such an uncertain situation where anything could happen. Somehow, it was his confident face that made her feel calm, despite everything that was going on around her.

She became even more convinced that there was something more to him and only clung tighter to him.
