"Tap, tap, tap..."
Barry led the stoic-faced man, proceeding through the darkness of the restricted zone toward its deepest part.
After walking a few dozen meters, he stopped, frowned slightly, and glanced around to confirm the location.
This should be the place... why isn't there anyone to meet us?
Could it be... something has gone wrong?
Barry grew somewhat suspicious, his mana began to churn, his alertness heightened.
"Swish..."
Just then, there was a slight sound from behind, as if someone was attempting an ambush. Barry quickly turned around, instinctively ready to attack, but at the last moment, seeing who it was, he pulled back his attack with all his strength.
His body swayed lightly, the rapidly circulating mana within him calmed, Barry exhaled deeply and looked at the newcomer.
It turned out to be an aged old man, hair white, body slightly hunched, none other than Witch Demon Elder Ah Fu.
