Turning

Chapter 767

"I took it to mean that a new strange crack and more monsters will soon appear in the South."

Yuder's blood ran cold. Kishiar's moving lips were the only thing he could see, everything else was a blur.

Even a scenario contemplated multiple times can still shock when it becomes reality. All the countermeasures he had considered swirled chaotically in his mind. Clenching his fists until they almost crushed, Yuder spoke.

"Did Aton say this after learning that we had vanquished the monsters?"

"No, quite the opposite."

"Excuse me?"

Kishiar's eyebrows drew together as he slightly smiled.

"Aton has been hiding his identity and skills for many years, infiltrating every corner of the empire. He seems to have been performing the role of a leader, capable of issuing orders and guiding others. This means he is likely someone of significant status. You guessed as much, didn't you?"
