Chapter 57: Human? (3)
Is it just a coincidence? Ketal thought.
The place he came from was the White Snowfield—a Demon Realm that didn’t belong to the human world. On the other hand, Aron and Elene’s kingdom was a realm of pure humans. There shouldn’t have been any connection between the two.
And yet, something felt off. It was like having a pebble rolling around in his mouth.
Come to think of it, Aquaz mentioned this too, he thought.
When Ketal had met with Aquaz in the Barcan Estate, she also mentioned that the world had started twisting and growing strange at some point, and that distortion had been happening for about a year now.
Back then, Ketal hadn’t thought much of it. He had simply dismissed it as a coincidence. But now that he knew the distortion of the Lutain Kingdom had also begun a year ago, he couldn’t help but reconsider.
That guy did say some strange things... Ketal thought.
He remembered the strange man he had encountered during his final Quest in the White Snowfield. At that time, he had dismissed the man’s words as the desperate ramblings of someone on the verge of destruction. However, Ketal started to wonder if he should’ve listened to the man more carefully.
As Ketal sank deep into thought, Aron watched him carefully. Noticing Aron’s gaze, Ketal shook his head. “Don’t worry about it. Keep talking.”
Speculating now was meaningless. For now, Ketal needed to focus on the present.
Aron resumed his explanation. “I don’t know who it started with, but my guess is that it was one of the servants who went on vacation at the time. People were being overtaken after they returned.”
