Chương 715: Cruel Light

It seemed only the greatest coward could run away from the battlefield twice in one day. The Blinding Sylphyre did so, but... could he be blamed for it?

The fortress would stand this night, this Eclipse, and it would stand for a very long time, and if the guardian died, no one would come to replace him.

Katrin blinked a few times, trying to realize what happened. She had been on many missions, more than other Phantoms, as she was looking to earn money and valuable experience, so she had seen this sort of thing plenty of times.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The black sand in front of the bridge trembled as dozens of scorpion and lizard-like monsters with two thick, heavy tails came to the surface.
