Chapter 174: Where the King Is
‘Is this the path we came from?’
Ruel took a deep breath and glanced around. With the snow piling up even more, confusion about the way was inevitable, yet Ganien strode ahead without hesitation.
Cassion remained silent, implying that this must be the correct path. However, Ganien suddenly halted and pointed to the ground. “This is where the wall that concealed death used to be.”
“Is this the place?” Aris’s eyes lit up. With a questioning look towards Ruel, as if seeking permission to take a quick look, Ruel nodded.
“Thank you!” Aris released the hold and swiftly dashed towards Ganien, pulling out a video device.
Upon seeing the device, Ruel frowned. He had endured so much because of that very thing.
Ganien scanned the surroundings and gestured to the left, then asked, “Is that the direction we should take? I sense a presence over there.”
“No, that’s not the way.” There were monsters in the direction Ganien indicated. It was clear that Ruel had instructed them to return to their original location and do what they wanted. However, these might have been monsters native to the area.
Ruel exhaled deeply as he gazed ahead. There was an unusually large gathering of monsters in that direction.
