บท 822: Oppression (7)

Gaham took a step toward the silhouette, and as he did, a powerful gust of wind blew around him and cleared the remaining cloud of smoke.

Gaham raised his morning star after sensing something amiss. He failed to notice it earlier because he was concerned for the princess's well-being, but now that he saw the supposed site of the explosion, apart from the earlier shockwaves, there was no indication of it on the ground. There were traces of the arrows on the ground, but they were too few compared to the multitude released earlier. Thinking back on it, the explosions at that time were a little strange. They were too few. No matter how many arrows collided that could reduce the number of explosions or residues on the ground, it still did not tally.
