Marcus stared intently on the hill the place Edvin, Kota, Toruf, Karin, and Fride have been. He knew every of them, as they’d prevented Order from executing his plans many instances, and completely each single considered one of them had killed Destiny Knights.

“Commander… It is them, proper?” Sara muttered with a slight shiver.

“Yeah… Actually, I did not anticipate there to be so lots of them right here. One, Edvin is greater than sufficient to fully change the conditions on the battlefield.” Marcus stated with a darkish face.

“Hmm? What are you speaking about?” Fosca requested in a confusion.

“Moons… members of the Shattered Moon Order. Usually seeing considered one of them would imply catastrophe is imminent, however there are three of them right here… I do not bear in mind ever seeing such a factor…” Marcus replied, staring intently of their course.

Fosca touched her lips, “Do not they simply wish to watch Chaos Trial?”

Marcus nodded, “That is potential, however these two got here collectively as if Edvin had known as them. Perhaps I am fallacious and I hope I’m, since we do not stand an opportunity in opposition to them.”

Fosca gulped. She knew that Moon was even stronger than Crusader more often than not, or a minimum of their powers have been equal. Fosca had an extended strategy to go to get to that degree.

‘Rattling… I undoubtedly ended up the place I should not be… It appears to me that nearly everybody right here is considerably stronger than me…’ Fosca internally muttered as she obtained a slight shiver.

The monsters watched as Zayne went by means of the Chaos Trial, however typically they seemed round, particularly those that have been above Terror Grade.

Each time Fosca felt their gazes on her, she obtained goosebumps. The one factor that saved her was that Marcus was beside her, and combating was forbidden proper now.

Nonetheless, if she was going to advance in her profession and grow to be a Crusader sometime, she needed to be ready to at some point must struggle such monsters.

…

“That woman over there’s taking a look at us intently. First Rank Destiny Knight… What’s she even doing right here?” Karin tilted her head, with a puzzled look.

“Nicely, Fride can assist me with that.” Edvin shrugged, not even turning round.

“Hmm?” Karin raised an eyebrow.

“What…? I could be helpful to you?” Fride exclaimed in pleasure with shining eyes, “I will do my greatest!”

“Certain.” Edvin nodded, “However we’ll get to that a bit of later. First, we’d like Zayne to move the Chaos Trial. Then, we’ll must get Zayne out of hassle from the Destiny Knights.”

…

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Zayne ran amongst the forest, sometimes breaking branches in his path and small, fragile rocks. If somebody was close to him, they might undoubtedly hear his actions, however the group of knights and the mage have been too far-off.

The group of knights had already gotten shut sufficient to the village, the gap was no a couple of kilometer, after which the mage determined to cease.

The person seemed round as if he had observed one thing. Zayne grew to become cautious and sank deeper into the shadows. He did not imagine that the mage might have observed him someway, however he could not act carelessly and needed to stay attentive.

‘Hmm… Apparently, they’re human… however that does not imply I can belief them, particularly contemplating that is the Darkish Lands.’ Zayne contemplated, ‘Since I obtained right here, I’ve encountered an enormous bull, a cat-girl, and one of many Moon Shattered Order… Roughly talking, they’re the primary folks on my path…’

The person seemed round for a very long time as if he could not perceive what was taking place, then the person frowned and struck the bottom together with his employees.

On the similar second, the orb on his employees shone brightly with purple gentle, spreading gentle power waves round.

Because the waves handed by means of the knights, a sheath remained on their armor, clearly seen within the darkness.

Zayne’s eyes went vast when he realized that if this wave reached him, he could be uncovered and the shadows wouldn’t assist him cover.

‘Shit! I’ve obtained to do one thing! However what?!

Zayne did not have the talents or spells that would shield him from one thing like this, so he simply determined to run deeper into the forest.

Lightning Beast might assault him once more, however Zayne determined that was too unlikely, particularly after what had occurred a couple of minutes in the past.

Zayne shortly moved away from the riverbank, nevertheless, the wave was a lot sooner than him, so quickly the wave handed over him.

Working away from the wave was not possible and Zayne realized that his objective was to cover behind so many objects that the mage merely could not see him.

“Mr. Clort, is one thing fallacious?” Requested one of many knights who was the commander of their squad. He was carrying heavy armor and holding a large two-handed sword.

Clort frowned, “One thing’s not proper… I really feel like my spell discovered somebody within the forest and it is undoubtedly not a beast or monster…”

“Hmm… That is actually unusual. There are hardly any people in these components, or quite those that can move by means of right here unnoticed by your barrier.” Knight Commander uttered, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Clort nodded, “I am considering the identical factor. If it is a human and he someway snuck in right here unnoticed, I will have to search out out. Seems like I’ll must expend a bit of extra power. Step apart.”

The Knight Commander nodded and gestured for the others to face again. The knights shortly complied with the command, taking just a few steps again.

Then, purple power streams appeared round Clort, enveloping his physique, trailing his eyes flashing and glowing brightly.

The world in entrance of him modified as now, he noticed solely dwelling issues, together with the Knights beside him, fish within the river, and even bugs. Nothing might cover earlier than his gaze and naturally, Zayne was no exception.

This time, Chaos did not intrude, although there was undoubtedly the chance.

“I see… Simply as I assumed I used to be proper.” Clort muttered, pointing his employees in direction of Zayne.

Whoooooooooooooosh.

Vitality streams swirled quickly, fully hiding Clort’s physique. The following second, he disappeared and appeared proper in entrance of Zayne. All the things occurred so quick that Zayne did not have time to react and Clort managed to the touch Zayne’s brow.

“Freeze!” Clort stated majestically as a magic circle appeared beneath Zayne from which many chains emerged.

The chains shortly certain Zayne’s legs and arms, stopping him from transferring.

“Who’re you? And what are you doing right here? How have been you in a position to stealthily enter this space?” Clort requested calmly, staring intently at Zayne.

Zayne was puzzled, however he quickly got here to his senses and commenced to suppose logically. He needed to reply one thing, however he did not need Clort to search out out concerning the Chaos Trial.

‘Hmm… Although he immobilized me, however he would not appear to think about me an enemy… At the very least plainly strategy to me…’ Zayne contemplated, making an attempt to determine what Clort was considering, ‘He appears extra puzzled than offended…’

‘You do not wish to reply? Nicely, I could make you do it.” Clort stated menacingly as his employees shone brightly.

“Wait!” Zayne exclaimed, and Clort instantly stopped.

“You should not have observed me, nevertheless it wasn’t as a result of I used to be following you, I used to be simply injured and could not preserve my stealth anymore. It takes focus, you recognize…” Zayne replied, glancing over his shoulder.

Clort checked out Zayne’s bleeding wound and circled, “I see… Lightning Beast attacked you, nevertheless it appears such as you have been in a position to escape or he allow you to go… Nicely, it would not matter. You continue to have not advised me what you are doing right here?”

Clort realized that Zayne most likely had some particular talent with which he was in a position to cover from his detection spell, however that was solely a part of the issue.

Zayne sighed, “I came upon that there have been quite a lot of toxic monsters on this space and I headed right here, not understanding precisely the place to go. I adopted the scent of one of many spiders that I killed removed from right here and ultimately got here to this forest and got here to a river.”

Zayne continued, “Yeah, you are proper. Lightning Beast let me go, he most likely realized I wasn’t presupposed to be right here and determined to not take my life. Let’s be trustworthy, he would have had no hassle tearing me aside.”

Clort nodded, though he wasn’t certain he might have dealt with Lightning Beast.

Zayne shrugged, “Nonetheless when I discovered an enormous spider and wished to assault it from the shadows, it got here to this river and drank the water. Then, one thing unusual occurred to him, and after just a few seconds, he died… Is that ordinary?”

Clort will get sophisticated expression. Zayne’s story had many weak and unusual components, however the state of affairs itself was additionally unusual, and what Zayne was saying might very effectively be true of their state of affairs.

He realized that simply as he realized that there have been many unusual folks within the Darkish Lands, typically doing essentially the most illogical issues.

Whoooooosh.

Clort waved his hand, with a slight sigh, and stated, “It is a widespread incidence on this territory, nevertheless it appears like these fucking Lizards thought they may idiot us this time!”

Clort’s face contorted in anger, as his aura intensified significantly.
