章節 1276: Sidestep

As Rain advanced through the dark forest, he gradually slowed his pace, a sense of unease settling over him. Despite the seemingly unchanged surroundings of the sinister woods, he could clearly notice that the atmosphere ahead had shifted. The usual dark trees and shadows held a different quality, signaling the presence of an adversary lurking in the vicinity.
