It was our third day on this mission.
We still hadn't found any solid leads to report back to the Academy.
But the one thing we were certain of was that the attacks were definitely happening.
However, we couldn't seem to locate the Spirit Beasts responsible for them.
And why was that? Because the Knights and the police were effectively erasing any evidence of the attacks.
Since the city authorities wanted to keep those incidents secret, it was becoming increasingly difficult for us to uncover the truth behind them.
As a result, our group decided that it was finally time to pay a visit to the Overlord of this region.
And from what we had heard, Lord Everan was a man of influence and infamy.
His reputation was as murky as the waters of the nearby swamplands.
If there was anyone who might know about the Spirit Beast attacks — and had a vested interest in keeping them hidden — it was him.
