章 69: Chapter 69: Cormac Ambushed

"He's getting away!" a voice shouted as a new group of cloaked men surged forward, their pursuit relentless.

"Move faster!" another yelled, their urgency evident.

"You won't get away from us!" the first person declared arrogantly, his tone full of confidence.

The additional men closed in on Cormac, their numbers growing as they continued the chase.

Despite their efforts, Cormac's pace remained steady, and he slowly began to lose sight of them, the dense forest and darkness obscuring his trail.

'I don't have time for this. I may not fully understand what they want with this artifact, but it definitely can't be left with these savages,' Cormac thought, pushing himself to run faster.

The pursuers' shouts faded as he continued, eventually disappearing from their view.
