Chapter 356: [354] Shadows Unleashed
"The Sword Princess! She's from the Loki Familia!"
"Thank goodness, reinforcements are here!"
"The youngest to reach Level 6, this is incredible!"
"Everyone, give it your all! The Sword Princess is here to help!"
"Take them down!"
...
Ais's arrival was like a shot of adrenaline to the adventurers, instantly boosting their morale. But while the atmosphere turned hopeful, Finn furrowed his brow. He had specifically instructed August and Ais to stay back at the familia. If anything went wrong, those two were the seeds of hope for the future.
Yet here they were. There was no point in scolding them now—it wouldn't change anything. The chaos below consumed all thought as August quietly positioned himself on a nearby rooftop.
"Well, we meet again, Filvis," August called out.
Nearby, the masked figure of Filvis stiffened in shock. Her surprise quickly twisted into cold, murderous intent. August had just casually unveiled her deepest secret—her connection to the mysterious monster attacks.
The Doppelgänger magic and the work of the creatures were Filvis's most closely guarded secrets, yet August had revealed them without hesitation. She had to kill him now—there could be no witnesses.
