Chapter 672: Gathering of Magical Beasts
As they neared the camp, Nick, Heath, and the others wore expressions of confusion and worry. Charles's sudden appearance and the heavy aura around him left them uneasy.
He landed gracefully at the camp's center, and the group instinctively backed away, sensing his overwhelming presence.
Thera landed beside him, her tall figure casting long shadows, causing more suspicion.
"Sir Charles! Why did you release your wisdom power and provoke the magical beasts? If we don't leave now, a swarm of them might come after us!" Nick said, tension cracking his voice. He glanced warily at Thera, mistaking her for a demon due to her imposing height.
"You don't need to fear her," Charles said, turning to Nick. "Our goal is accomplished. Tell your commander the Fortress of Soul Graves is conquered. We're returning to Baston Fortress."
"You conquered it? That fast?" Nick's shock was clear.
