章節 82: A Dark Mage

The sound of horses galloping came to a halt as the group reached the edge of a dark and unknown forest.

The eerie ambience was unsettling, with the occasional sound of strange creatures echoing throughout the atmosphere and the scent of rotten bark wafting in the air.

At his command, Brone, the burly and fierce-looking Bargesian leader, signalled for the group to pause their journey. They had yet to reach the Cassian border and were headed towards Gantz at Kaizer's order.

He dismounted from his horse and cautiously moved a few steps forward, motioning for his group to stay back and wait for him.

His eyes were drawn to a marked tree as he surveyed his surroundings. However, before he could investigate further, a hooded figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, silently materialising before him. Brone was taken aback by the sudden dramatic appearance of the mysterious man and tensed up.

"You startled me, you st*pid mage!" he shouted.
