บท 386: Valley Covered In Fog

A few days later.

Hour of Rooster. (03:00 PM - 04:00 PM)

Aksai found himself standing in a lush green valley, its serene beauty sharply contrasted by the thick white fog that swirled like ghostly tendrils in every direction.

The fog was so dense that even sunlight struggled to penetrate through, casting the entire landscape in a dull, eerie light. The air was cold and carried an unsettling sense of isolation.

The fog would act lifeless for a period of time. It would then move in waves, like an endless tide of beasts, drifting aimlessly across the region, its thickness limiting Aksai's vision to barely 10 meters ahead.

Despite the quiet, wild atmosphere, Aksai knew better. This wasn't some natural fog; it was the product of an intricate 2nd Order Array Formation, one dangerously close to advancing into a 3rd Order Formation.
